THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND DR. AND I CANNOT WAIT TO COME TO WORK HERE AND SUPPORT THE STUDENTS.
COME AS A STAFF AND THEIR FAMILIES OF THE PUBLIC COUNTY
I KNOW SHE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT SHE LIVED DOWN THE STREET.
WE REALIZED THAT WHEN I WAS THERE AND THEN A FEW YEARS LATER, WE REALIZED WE WERE ON THE SAME SOCCER FIELD AND I WAS LIKE, WHO'S THAT LITTLE KID? AND IT WAS ONE OF THE TRIPLETS.
[Audit Report]
AND YEAH. OKAY.UP NEXT, WE HAVE OUR AUDIT REPORT AND I INVITE CHRIS LIEBERMAN AND CHRIS STEWART TO COME ON DOWN.
>> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I'M CHRIS LEHMAN.
I WAS THE ENGAGEMENT PARTNER FOR THIS YEAR'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT SERVICES. SO I HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT IM GOING TO WALK THROUGH THAT WIL HIGHLIGHT THE RESULTS OF OUR AUDIT. IF IT CAN PROGRESS.
WHICH WAY? ALL RIGHT, WE'RE IN BUSINESS.
SO THE SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT WE WERE ENGAGED TO PERFORM FOR THE AUDIT OF THE JUNE 30, 2026 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
[00:05:03]
IN ADDITION, THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS REQUIRED TO UNDERGO AN ANNUL SINGLE AUDIT AND THAT'S A FEDERAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT FOR FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS. THAT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM RECEIVES FOR THE YEAR. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STILL HASN'T FINALIZED THE RULES THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. SO EVERY YEAR, THEY PUT OUT A COMPLIANCE SUPPLEMENT, AND WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THAT COMPLIANCE SUPPLEMENT TO BE FINALIZED.KIND OF HOLDS US UP WITH ISSUING THAT REPORT, BUT HERE WE HAVE NO FINDINGS RELATED TO THIS AUDIT. IT IS DUE TO THE STATE AT THE END OF DECEMBER WITHOUT THEM LIKE THE DUE DATES.
SO WE HAVE TO MONITOR THE TIMING OF THAT COMPLIANCE SUPPLEMENT.
WITH THE STATE DEADLINE FOR THE STATE DEADLINE FOR THAT REPORT IS AT THE END OF DECEMBER. FOR YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THOSE WERE DUE TO THE STATE AT SEPTEMBER 30TH, AND WE HAVE THAT DATE FOR SUBMITTING THOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
WE DO ASSIST WITH PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
THAT IS A SERVICE WE CAN PROVIDE UNDER PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS THAT DOES NOT IMPAIR OUR INDEPENDENCE AS AUDITORS IT JUST REQUIRED TO LET THE BOARD KNOW WHEN WE DO SERVICES OF THAT NATURE. SO WE'VE ISSUED A CLEANER WHAT'S TERMED UNMODIFIED OPINION ON DEFINITIONAL STATEMENTS AND THEN THAT WOULD BE THE BEST OPINION. WE COULD GIVE UNDER PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. WE DO NOT DISCOVER ANY INSTANCES OF FRAUD. OUR AUDIT ISN'T A FORENSIC AUDIT, BUT WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A HEALTHY SKEPTICISM THAT FRAUD CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME BECAUSE WE RECEIVED THE FULL COOPERATION OF MANAGEMENT. SO ANY RECORDS FOR LOTS OF FACTORS THAT WE ASK FOR BACKUP FOR.
WE HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS GOING THROUGH AN AUDIT.
BUT WE RECEIVED TIMELY RESPONSES.
ADEQUATE BACKUP FOR ALL THE TRANSACTIONS THAT WE SELECTED FOR TESTING AND AS I MENTIONED, OUR SINGLE AUDIT IS STILL IN PROCESS BECAUSE OF THAT. WHAT TERMED LME COMPLIANCE SUBSIDY THAT NEEDS TO BE FINALIZED FOR 2026.
THIS SLIDE HERE IS JUST A PICTURE OF OUR RISK BASED
APPROACH. >> THERE'S SEVERAL PHASES THAT WE GO THROUGH TO COMPLETE HOUR AUDIT, BUT REALLY, THE AUDIT IS DESIGNED TO BE A FUNNEL, AND WE'RE FINDING OUT THAT RISK OF ERROR WITHIN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
LET ME GO THROUGH OUR AUDIT PROCESS.
I HAVE SEVERAL SLIDES THAT WILL SPEAK TO THE CONTROL ENVIRONMENT AND OUR ASSESSMENT OF THAT ENVIRONMENT, BUT WE'VE ASSESSED THAT THE CONTROL ENVIRONMENT AND THE KEY CONTROLS WERE EFFECTIVE FOR THE PERIOD UNDER AUDIT. OUR MAJOR RISKS THAT WE HAD DURING THE AUDIT, AND THIS ISN'T ANYTHING INHERENTLY RISKY -- RISKIER HERE IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE ACCOUNTS.
SO LOOKING AT CASH AND INVESTMENT RECONCILIATIONS TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE DONE TIMELY AND ACCURATELY ORDERED, FURTHER COLLECTABILITY OF THE ACCOUNS RECEIVABLE THAT'S ON THE BOOKS.
ACCOUNTING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS AND CONSTRUCTION.
THAT'S IN PROCESS FOR ANY SCHOOL RENOVATIONS OR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION. THAT'S GOING ON DURING THE YEAR.
WE HAVE COMPLETENESS TESTS FOR OUR ACCOUNTS PAYABLE.
AUDITING REVENUE FOR PROPER REVENUE RECOGNITION.
HOW EXPENSES ARE CHARGED TO THE DIFFERENT AREAS WITHIN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THIS ALSO SOME ACTUARIAL CALCULATIONS THAT IMPACT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, BOTH FROM A PENSION PERSPECTIVE AND FROM OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PERSPECTIVE.
SO WE'VE ASSESSED THE CONTROL ENVIRONMENT FOR FIVE INTERRELATED COMPONENTS AND THAT WOULD BE THE FIVE AREAS DUE TO THE LEFT OR THAT CONTROL ENVIRONMENT.
MANAGEMENT RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS.
THE SPECIFIC CONTROL ACTIVITIES AND INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION AND MONITORING. WE'VE CONCLUDED THAT ALL FIVE AREAS. WAS EFFECTIVE FOR THE PERIOD UNDER AUDIT, SO WE CHECKMARK IS GOOD.
AND THEN WE AUDITED CERTAIN HEAT PROCESSES THAT IMPACT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, AND THAT'S TAKING THAT TRANSACTION FROM THE SOURCE ALL THE WAY TO HOW THAT IMPACTS THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND GETS RECORDED IN THE LEDGER. AND I'VE GOT SEVERAL SLIDES HERE, AND I'LL KIND OF MOVE THROUGH THESE AT A HIGH LEVEL, BUT WE'VE AUDITED THE PAYROLL PROCESS AND THAT'S LOOKING PREDOMINANTLY TIME BEING DONE AND ALL AUTHORIZE CHECKING PAY RATES THAT EMPLOYEES ARE PAID AT LOOKING AT THE BILLING AND REVENUE CYCLE AS I MENTIONED, THE FIXED ASSET ACCOUNTING, WE'VE AUDITED THAT CYCLE. THERE'S CERTAIN ESTIMATES WITHIN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREDOMINANTLY AROUND THE ACTUARIAL CALCULATIONS FOR PENSION AND ALSO THAT USEFUL LIVES OF FIXED ASSETS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF AN ESTIMATE
[00:10:01]
PARTICULARLY AUDITED THROUGH THE EXPENSE PROCESS THE FINANCIAL REPORTING CYCLE MEASUREMENT, CLOSING THE BOOKS ON A TIMELY BASIS AND THEN ASSESSING THE QUALITY OF THE LEDGER IN THE TRIAL BALANCES WE WERE GIVEN FOR AUDIT.LOOKING AT THE TREASURY FUNCTION AS WELL AS RECONCILIATION IS FOR. AND THEN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS IT RELATES TO THE MEASURE AND WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE LEDGER AND HOW THAT INFORMATION IS BEING BACKED UP AND STORED.
SO WE'VE CONCLUDED THAT ALL OF THESE CONTROLS THAT WE ARE RELYING ON FOR THE AUDIT WERE DESIGNED.
I HAVE A FEW SLIDES THAT HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE PICK UNDER THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THEMS THEMSELVES HAVE LOTS OF DATA IN THERE.
BUT TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THERE'S THE BUDGETARY COMPARISON. THIS IS TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE FINANCIALS. YOU'LL SEE HERE IT'LL BE ON TWO SLIDES THIS SLIDE IS THE REVENUE SLIDE.
THE TOTAL REVENUES FOR THE YEAR WERE BUDGETED AT 309 OR 309 MILLION, YOU'LL SEE WITHIN THE BUDGETED AMOUNTS, THERE WAS A USE OF FUND BALANCE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET OF ROUGHLY 11.7 MILLION IF YOU LOOK AT ACTUAL RESULTS, THE ACTUAL REVENUES WERE AT ABOUT 294 MILLION AGAINST THE 309.
AND FROM AN EXPENDITURE STANDPOINT, A ALL IN THE EXPENDITURES WERE BUDGETED AT 309 MILLION.
SO A BALANCED BUDGET, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IN A PRIOR SLIDE, IS THAT. $11.7 MILLION USE OF FUND BALANCE TO BUDGET BALANCE THE BUDGET.
SO THE ACTUAL EXPENDITURES CAME IN AT 299 MILLION SO THAT'S UDER BUDGET WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE BUDGET THERE AT.
AND THAT WHEN YOU TAKE REVENUES PLUS, BUDGETARY EXPENDITURES THAT LED TO A DEFICIT FOR A LOSS OF ROUGHLY 5 MILLION FOR THAT YEAR. QUESTIONS?
>> I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION WITH MY HEALTHY SKEPTICISM, YOUR TO 94 IS THAT RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED
ACTIVITY. >> TO CORRECT IT'S BOTH TO A LOT OF TIMES WHAT I SEE IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS THE FEDERAL RESTRICTED REVENUE COMES IN TYPICALLY UNDER BUDGET BECAUSE OF THE SPENDING TAKES TIME. AND SO OF COURSE YOU'VE GOT THAT REVENUE THAT MATCHING THE AN ELE EXPENDITURE OCCUR YOU HAVE THAT REVENUE. BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S A DIFFERENCE OF WHEN BUDGET, THE FEDERAL REVENUE COMPARED TO WHEN YOU SPEND IT. BUT YEAH, YOU'LL SEE THE FEDERAL SOURCES THERE WAS A LITTLE ABOUT $3 MILLION UNDER BUDGET.
>> RIGHT, BUT PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW THAT THAT 12991533 IS SET WITH
>> THAT'S NOT A NEGATIVE STORY. THAT'S JUST LESS THAN WE
SO IF THAT 129 SAY, AS OPPOSE CAME IN AND WHEN IT DOES HIGHER, YOU WOULD HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR HIGHER EXPENDITURE WITH THE SAME
DEFICIENCY NUMBER. >> I JUST WANT TO ASK A QUESTION FOR THE PUBLIC ISN'T IT. AT 234.
>> : 1099 OF EXPENSE. WE USED $5 MILLION OR 4998 OF.
EXPECT A USE OF FUND BALANCE OF 11.7 IS THAT CORRECT?
>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> MR. HARRISON: OKAY, SO WE SPENT 6.7 BILLION LESS OF FUND BALANCE THAT WE ORIGINALLY
EXPECTED. >> THAT SOUNDS CORRECT, YES.
>> MR. HARRISON: I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THIS.
>> IS LIKE RAIN MAN. >> YES, IT SOUNDS CORRECT.
[LAUGHTER] >> MR. HARRISON: I'M COUNTING IT
RIGHT NOW. >> MINUS THE FIVE IS REALLY TO THE GOOD BECAUSE YOU BUDGETED TO USE 117.
YOU DIDN'T TOUCH . >> I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SECOND.
THIS IS COMING FROM ME FOR DR. NEWSOM, CHRIS, THE EXECUTIVE TEAM AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO WORKS SO HARD TO BE FRUGAL AND STILL MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE STUDENTS EVERYTHING THEY NEED, THAT THAT'S JUST A WIN STORY. OKAY, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS HERE? I DO HAVE TWO MORE SLIDES RELATED TO FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS, AND THEY'RE BOTH RELATED.
IT WAS JUST A LOT TO PUT ON ONE SLIDE, BUT THIS IS THE -- SO THIS IS ON THE GAAP BASIS FOR YOUR GENERAL FUND.
SO THIS IS GOING TO BE -- IT IS IN THE FOOTNOTES.
[00:15:01]
THIS IS DISCLOSED IN THE FOOTNOTES TO THE FINANCIALS, BUT IT'S ALL THE COMPONENTS OF THE GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE.IT WILL TAKE ME TWO SLIDES TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THAT.
BUT GATSBY SAID GAAP FOR SCHOOL SYSTEMS AND GOVERNMENT AUDITS.
SO THERE'S DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF FUND BALANCE DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THEM. SO ONE OF THE LARGEST COMPONENTS IS THE COMMITTED FUND BALANCE, AND THERE'S VARIOUS TYPES OF COMMITMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SET UP FOR EXPECTED USE IN THE FUTURE, AND THAT'S ROUGHLY 17.8 MILLION DOLLARS THAT TICKET FOR THEIR PICTURE ONE LEVEL AND ANOTHER LEVEL DOWN IS WHAT'S ASSIGNED, AND THAT'S AN INTENDED USES OF FUND BALANCE.
MOST OF THESE CAN BE CHANGED. IT'S JUST A CHANGES AT THE FISCAL YEAR END. THE ONLY THING CAN CHANGE IS THE STUDENT ACTIVITY. NO IT'S REQUIRED TO BE REPORTED IN A GENERAL FUND WHERE IT USED TO BE GOING DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. SOME ACTIVITY FUNDS BUT GETS
CHANGED THAT REQUIREMENT. >> CHRIS CAN I ASK A QUESTION
>> SO YOU'RE CHECKING THE BANK STATEMENTS IN THIS AUDIT, IS
THAT RED? >> YEAH, WE'RE CHECKING THE BANK STATEMENTS. WELL, THESE NUMBERS DON'T NECESSARILY TIED TO WHAT'S IN THE BANK.
THIS IS JUST AS IT'S. >> ACTUALLY, THE BANK BALANCE SHOULD BE HIGHER. DID THIS NUMBER BECAUSE THIS IS JUST A GENERAL FUND, NOT THE FOOD SERVICE FUND OR THE --
>> THIS IS JUST THE GENERAL FUND.
>> RIGHT. >> AND THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE ENOUGH ASSETS TO COVER THESE BALANCES.
>> IT'S THE RESIDUAL ASSETS MINUS THE LIABILITIES.
>> OKAY, BUT YOU'RE SAYING, OKAY, WE SAW THE MONEY.
>> YES, FROM THE CASH PERSPECTIVE.
>> AND THE UNDERSIGNED FUND BALANCE WHICH JUST HASN'T BEEN I GUESS SET ASIDE IF YOU WILL. I KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT THE BEST TERMINOLOGY FOR IT, BUT THE UNASSIGNED BALANCE WAS AT 10.7 MILLION SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPTICK YEAR OVER YEAR WHERE IT WAS 9.4 MILLION IN THE PRIOR YEAR.
BECAUSE OF WHAT I SHOWED YOU ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDES ABOUT THE USAGE FROM THE EXPENDITURES EXCEEDING REVENUES, THAT THERE WAS A DIP IN YOUR FUND BALANCE WHICH WAS BUDGETED THAT IT WENT FROM 38.3 MILLION TO 35-POINT TO MILLION.
SO YOU DO SEE THE EFFECT OF THAT EXCESS EXPENDITURES OVER REVENUE. HAD HITTING YOUR GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE THERE. SO THOSE WERE KIND OF SELECTED NUMBER IS THAT I PULLED TO HIGHLIGHT FOR TODAY.
THE OTHER -- AND I TOUCHED ON THE NUMBER OF THESE ITEMS AS I SPOKE. SO I'M NOT GOING TO READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE SLIDES AS I MENTIONED.
HAD WE HAD AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION. WE DIDN'T PROPOSE ANY ADJUSTMENTS SO THAT SPEAKS TO THE QUALITY OF THE BOOKS AND THE LEDGER THAT WE WERE GIVEN TO AUDIT.
WE HAD NO DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT ON ANY ACCOUNTING MATTERS, BUT WE HAVE NO DIFFICULTIES GETTING THROUGH THE AUDIT BECAUSE IT IS IT TAKES REALLY A VILLAGE TO GET AN AUDIT BY SEPTEMBER 30TH. IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT FROM CHRIS AND HER TEAM AND THEN OBVIOUSLY DOING THE AUDIT.
BUT REALLY NO DIFFICULTIES IN MEETING THE DEADLINE.
I I ALREADY MENTIONED TO YOU THAT THE NON-SERVICE ABOUT ASSISTANCE WAS DRAFTING THE STATEMENTS DOES NOT IMPAIR OUR INDEPENDENCE BUT AS I MENTIONED, I'M REQUIRED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT. AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE THAT I WANTED TO GO THROUGH. I DO HAVE MY CONTACT INFORMATION HERE IN THE BACK AS WELL AS OUR MANAGER IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES
OR QUESTIONS OUTSIDE THE. >> PRESIDENT POST: TIGERS I'LL SORT THAT OUT OVER UP TO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS GREAT QUESTION I'M STILL SOME MORE CHRIS.
OKAY AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE SHELDON'S HERE, HOW ARE YOU, SHELDON UH, SO, UH, DID YOU ALSO DID YOU CHECK FOR DUPLICATE PAYMENTS WELL, THAT'S AN ELEMENT WHEN WE DO THE EXPENDITURE TESTING, WHEN WE LOOK AT PAYMENTS.
SO THERE IS THAT, UM THERE IS A CHECK THAT WOULD LOOK FOR DUPLICATE PAYMENTS, YES. OKAY AND DID YOU LOOK AT THE BOARD MEMBERS. THAT'S AN ELEMENT FOR EVERY SINGLE AUDIT WHICH IS IN PROCESS.
SO THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING COMPLETED, YES.
>> MR. HARRISON: DID YOU LOOK FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES?
>> WE DO TEST EMPLOYEES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY.
WE LOOK AT THE PAYROLL RECORDS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE LEGITIMATE. YES.
>> THEY HAVE OUT OF TOWN ADDRESSES THAT KIND OF STUFF.
BUT WHAT WOULD THE CRITERIA LOOK FOR THAT BOOK I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD NECESSARILY? WHERE SOMEONE WORKS OR WHERE THEY LIVE. IT WOULD BE WHETHER THEY WERE
[00:20:02]
ACTUALLY A REAL PERSON THAT WAS HIRED AND WERE THEY HIRED AT THAT RATE AND IN THAT POSITION, BUT NOT NECESSARILY WHERE THEYLIVE. >> MR. HARRISON: I'M SORRY, I DO HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT ONE. OKAY.
AND THEN UM, YOUR AUDIT, THAT'S THE SPACE THAT I WORK IN.
SO IS THERE ANY CONCERN WITH CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITHIN THE POPULATION OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM? ANYBODY THAT WOULD ALSO BE AN EMPLOYEE OF A SUBCONTRACTOR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF AT THIS.
BUT LIKE I SAID, WE'RE STILL GOING THROUGH OUR TESTING.
SO I WOULDN'T WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT THAT THERE'S NO ISSUES. AND THEN HAVE SOMETHING POP UP.
AT TODAY WE'RE NOT AWARE F ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
OF THAT MATTER. >> MR. HARRISON: THANK YOU.
>> PRESIDENT POST: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WANT TO ECHO THE SENTIMENTS OF MR. HARRISON.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT AND PRESENTING THIS TO US AND THANK YOU TO CHRIS HEWITT AND TO HER STAFF AND TO THE EXECUTIVE TEAM AS WELL, TO THIS IS GREAT NEWS AND CONGRATULATIONS ON A GOOD AUDIT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> PRESIDENT POST: SOMETHING? MAKE A MOTION FOR PAUL?
>> THANK YOU ALL. >> PRESIDENT POST: THANK YOU ALL AGAIN. UP NEXT, WE HAVE BEEN APPROVALS.
AND I INVITE MR. TAYLOR TO COME FORWARD.
HE'S GOT TO SAY SOMETHING. YOU DON'T THROW A PENCIL AT ME OR SOMETHING, I KNOW SHE WAS LIKE, SHE FORGOT IT.
IT'S RIGHT HERE. SORRY, THE FONT IS SO SMALL I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET THAT HONESTLY.
[September 30, 2026 Financial Reports]
[LAUGHS] I'M GOING TO NEED SOME PLUS ONE FIVES.THANK YOU. SORRY ABOUT THAT, MISS JEWETT THE SEPTEMBER 30TH FINANCIAL REPORTS.
>> OKAY, IT'S A FLUID -- FLUID MOTION HERE.
OKAY, SO I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE MONTH ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2026.
OUR TOTAL REVENUE BUDGET IS APPROXIMATELY 298.3 MILLION.
AND TO DATE, WE HAVE RECEIVED $67.2 MILLION LEAVING $231 MILLION REMAINING. WE ARE ON TARGET WITH MECHANIZING APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER AT 23% OF OUR REVENUES
TODAY. >> MS. GOSHORN: PAGE 3.
NEXT PAGE. SO ON EXPEDITORS SIDE HERE, WE HAVE $195.9 MILLION IN ENCUMBRANCES OUTSTANDING.
OUR YESTERDAY, BRIDGES AND EXPENSES TOTAL TO HUNDRED AND $47.8 MILLION REPRESENTING 83% OF OUR TOTAL BUDGET AND THAT WILL BE ON PAGE 6. SO AS DISCUSSED EARLIER, DURING OUR AUDITORS PRESENTATION AT FUND BALANCE THAT THE AUDITOR'S PRESENTATION OF THE FUND BALANCE OUR FY 27 BUDGET DOES INCLUDE A PLANNED USE OF FUND BALANCE OF $11.1 MILLION.
AND SO WITHIN THE FUND BALANCE RESERVE WE HAD THE VARIOUS FUND BALANCES OF COMMITTED AND ASSIGNED AND UNASSIGNED AND WITHIN THAT COMMITTED FUND BALANCE, WE DO HAVE SOME RESERVES SET ASIDE FOR FUEL AND OTHER EMERGENCIES, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING BECAUSE OF THE FLUCTUATIONS LIKE WE WERE EXPERIENCING IN DIESEL FUEL AND IN OUR UTILITY NUMBERS.
SO WE'RE CURRENTLY RECOGNIZING INCREASES IN THOSE COSTS.
BUT WE RIGHT NOW ARE WITHIN BUDGET.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THOSE COSTS THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR. I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO YOU AT FUTURE MEETINGS. IF ADJUSTMENT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
[00:25:02]
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SARAH.>> THANK YOU. >> SO IN THE BUDGET DISCUSSION IS I REMEMBER THERE WAS EXPECTATION THAT HEALTH INSURANCE WAS GOING TO GO UP A LOT.
IS THERE ANY INDICATION SO FAR IN THE FIRST QUARTER THAT HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH OUR CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO BE HIGH, LOW.
IF YOU COULD DRAW FROM THE FIRST THREE MONTHS.
>> WE'RE STILL MONITORING THOSE COSTS.
NOT SEEING A HUGE UPTICK IN HEALTH INSURANCE.
AND AS I MENTIONED, ALONG WITH TRANSPORTATION UTILITIES.
WE ARE IN BUDGET FOR HEALTH INSURANCE.

>> THIS WOULD BE OUTSIDE OF THE STADIUM FIELD.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS DESIGN.
YOU'LL FIND OUT IN THE DESIGN PHASE, BUT WITH THIS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, WE HAVE TO PUT IN SAY WHAT IT MAY BE IS THAT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE FIELD? THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, WE WILL SEE IF WE NEED TO PICK. I IMAGINE WE WILL HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT.

[LAUGHS] SO THAT THERE'S JUST NOT PEOPLE WANDERING AROUND BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE REALLY NEAT FOR THOSE OF US MANY OF US GREW UP AROUND HERE AND WENT TO THOSE SCHOOLS, INCLUDING MYSELF.
WISHING EVERYBODY A HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
SORRY TO ALL THE STAFF AND THE TEACHERS WHO ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE REPERCUSSIONS OF THE CANDY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. MY KIDS ARE GOING TO DO THEIR PART TO EAT IT ALL. SO I WISH EVERYBODY WELL, AND WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
