Summary
Administration presented an early FY27 budget overview, noting $375,000 in capital projects completed this year and a planned interfund transfer to support upcoming work. Trustees discussed an unexpected contractor demand for a 50% deposit on the roof repair and weighed rebidding versus honoring the award to keep the schedule.
Director of Business Services provided an early overview of the FY27 budget, reporting capital work completed this year — including the primary building roof and security camera upgrades — totaled approximately $375,000 and will not carry forward into next year’s budget. Administration said the tentative budget will be placed on public display this summer with final approval expected in August.
Board members discussed an unanticipated request from the awarded roofing contractor for a 50% deposit prior to starting work. Trustees considered options including rebidding, moving to the next bidder, or proceeding with the deposit to keep the summer schedule. Administration indicated the deposit request will be listed on the June bills payable for board approval and said future bid requests will explicitly state the district’s payment expectations to avoid similar issues.
