Board approves warrants after discussion of $4M+ month driven by capital payments
Summary
Board members reviewed warrants and large monthly disbursements tied to construction projects and insurance payments, noting the district spent 'over $4,000,000' in the month; the board approved warrants covering check ranges 34366–34613.
Board members examined the warrants register and asked about payments for the Gunnison Valley Police Department (school resource officer) and pass-through incentive payments for student teachers.
A finance presenter (speaker 5) said the district had ‘‘spent over $4,000,000’’ that month, largely because multiple construction contract payments, playground and restroom final payments, shop payments and insurance disbursements coincided. He explained some bills represented billing cycles overlapping September, October and November and noted about $385,000 remained on the shops project.
Board member questions about items such as Headwaters Cattle & Guest Ranch (vendor for the school-run hamburger program) were answered: some entries are program-related pass-throughs and others are construction vendors. After discussion, a motion was made and the board approved warrants beginning with check 34366 and ending with 34613 by voice vote.
Members asked for continued clarity on large monthly variances and were told capital project payments would taper for the rest of the fiscal year and that December property-tax receipts would boost revenues.
