Board reviews March finances and public urges consolidated expenditure summary
Summary
Directors heard the March financial report showing cash tracking to forecast, discussed a $35,000 misposting between park impact and fire funds, and agreed to return with a consolidated expenditures page after members of the public requested easier public access to year‑to‑date spending.
The general manager presented the March financial report and told the board cash on hand is "tracking as we had forecasted," noting an expected revenue spike tied to assessment and property tax receipts anticipated in April. Staff said a vehicle purchase had been posted to park impact fees rather than the fire impact fund and that the county was asked to correct a roughly $35,000 swing.
Directors pressed staff on details including the timing of LLAD assessments (named examples: Viewpoint, Goldorado, David West) and how rental revenue and solar lease payments are reflected in the utilities and revenue lines. Staff said rental income is being credited to the LLAD and that some solar lease payments are recorded as separate lease payments rather than netted on the PG&E line.
During public comment Vicki Jacobs asked for a single cumulative expenditures page that displays district‑level year‑to‑date spending so residents do not have to compare five separate departmental budgets to understand total outlays. Eric Houston suggested rethinking how franchise fees and rental revenues are treated and recommended revisiting insurance costs and contingency/reserve use during upcoming budget planning.
Directors agreed the consolidated expenditures page would be a useful addition and asked staff to return with it at the next meeting packet.
