Board approves budget amendment to pay remaining Blankenship Field turf balance
Summary
The board approved a budget amendment to shift $180,552.20 owed to Hellas Construction into fiscal year 2024–2025 (increase coded 189-81 by $181,000, offset to local fund balance); motion passed 6-0.
The Big Spring ISD Board of Trustees voted Sept. 9 to amend the district budget so it can pay the remaining balance on the Blankenship Field turf project. District materials and the minutes state that while the total project amount is unchanged from the June 20, 2024 approval, accounting rules require expenses to be recorded in the year they are incurred; the board moved $180,552.20 into fiscal year 2024–2025 and approved an increase coded 189-81 of $181,000, offset by local fund balance.
Tonya Becker moved the budget amendment; Alton McGruder seconded. The motion (recorded as Motion #6070) carried 6-0. The minutes identify Hellas Construction, Inc. as the contractor and note the amendment is strictly a timing adjustment rather than a change in total project cost.
