Stanwood-Camano board finds fiscal stewardship a clear strength
Summary
Board members reporting back on their self-assessment said budget and finance items ranked highest in the survey, and they agreed to maintain monthly financial updates and public fund-balance reporting.
During the paired report-back, several board members said budget-related items dominated the top rankings. "We noticed that the top 5 are all budget related," one director said, arguing the board is "very good with fiscal stewardship." (Speaker 2)
Members discussed why finance items tend to score higher — because they are more easily quantified — and agreed to keep monthly financial reporting as a concrete board practice. The board flagged continued emphasis on fund-balance management and clearer public communication around levy and capital project spending.
