Board to review updated figures and final auditor report expected in February
Summary
Trustees asked staff for preliminary financial figures through November and noted the final auditor report (referred to in discussion as the Riggs report) is expected in February; trustees said they will consider those figures before making further budgetary decisions.
Trustees asked when the district would receive final audited figures and were told the auditor's final report is expected in February. Several trustees said staff could provide preliminary figures through November and that updated numbers will be presented at the next meeting.
Trustee Mark Delos Santos pressed for a forensic review to address alleged inaccuracies in prior budget materials; trustees agreed that staff and auditors should provide verified numbers before the board takes additional actions. "We can get that report instantly already from them," Delos Santos said, urging staff to provide the payroll figures rather than waiting for the final audit. (Mark Delos Santos, SEG 174–176)
Board members said the forensic/audit results and the staff-provided figures will inform follow-up decisions on budget allocations and any projects funded from savings.
