Uh item five, adopt resolution 242521 authorizing the issuance of 2025 2026 tax and revenue anticipation notes to the Alpha Valley Unified School District requesting the board of supervisors of San Bernardino County to issue said notes. So let's go with a motion first and then we'll go open for discussion. So moved. Amanda, second. Second and Okay. Yeah. Okay. We'll start with uh Amanda since you made the motion. go ahead and um Okay, so looking into this um we have applied for it before and we have applied for it before and not needed it um in my research back it looks like the last time we actually took it and Mr. Schulenberg, you can correct me. Um, was 2020 and it was because of the shortfall at that time with making our payments. So, we had it just the way I thought about it when I was reading was it's like a payday loan.
Like, it's just kind of to get you only maybe not as awful a connotation. Not with that connot. Yeah. But like it it if if something were to happen federally or statewide that took away some of our funding that we were expecting to get, then we would have that as an option to kind of get us until the funds came in. Um it I also found that district that we don't talk about in uh Victorville, they did it recently as did San Bernardino City Unified. Um, and then I also read that and I forget the second one, but Lucern and another district near us do this almost every year because they don't have a large um reserve. So do we. That was what I found. We do it every year. Okay. For the most part, it is this time of year it is a resolution and yes, so that we're in line if there was a problem with a delay.
Mr. Schlenberg, anything to add? Yeah, just to add this. Uh, a TR is for cash flow purposes. It is not something it's not more funding for your budget to make more expenditures available to a school district. Um, typically TR are issued and utilized by school districts during uh revenue shortfalls due to state of California deferrals. You've probably heard of those in recent years. um when they don't give us our cash when they're supposed to. Because keep in mind um the major major source of cash for us is our um state aortionment which flows on a monthly basis. Um but a portion of that the education protection account flows on a quarterly basis. And if any of those cash payments are delayed significantly, which the state has done in the past in times of fiscal crisis at the state level, districts borrow this to have cash on hand to pay our bills.
And when those cash payments come in from the state, the TR is paid off. It is a short-term um payday loan. It's a good analogy. I have a question there. um when you take out that loan um and you don't use it, how much interest do you pay on money you didn't get to use? Well, that's going to depend on the uh the uh rates as the TR is um offered and issued in June and July. I wouldn't be able to quote interest rates on it until after the fact. Um the next process for us as listed um you'll see in the board item we do a cash flow analysis. We work with uh the financial adviser that teams up with CSBA in this TR. We'll do a cash flow analysis and we have to show a negative cash balance at some point during the year to even qualify for the TR.
So mere this resolution merely the timing is to get us into the pool as we analyze our cash flow and if we don't show a cash deficit at any time during next fiscal year we don't take the loan. Okay. So as a district when when we filed our papers with the county we said that we are able to manage our finances for the next three years. That's budget. the budget we are able to the budget will carry us for the next three years. So I'm trying to understand if we say that we are going we have we get a passing score for three years based on the submission. Why are we trying to get money then when we've already said we are able to hold have money in the next three years. I'm just trying to understand I'm not into finances. I don't know much about money.
I spend it when I get it. So do we. Um, budget is spending authority. The state says we're going to get $184 million this year in LCFF. That's the authority we have to spend. That's our budget. Um, then we project next year's budget and the following year's budget. Cash flows little bits at a time. And if the state defers those cash payments to us and we're unable to make our payroll or pay our bills, that's what a TR is. It's a temporary cash loan to make your payments until the state pays us and then we pay it back. Cash and budget are very different. our our cash does not um our ending fund balances budget authority. Our cash balance on hand with the treasury um is very different and can vary depending on when the state makes those payments or when the federal money is uh paid to us.
Thank you. Um I'd just like to say thank you very much for explaining that to us. It reassures me and uh to Mrs. Nelson also for giving me the information when I asked earlier on that. Thanks. Any further discussion, comments? Okay, we do have a motion on the table and the second. All in favor?
I I Any opposed? Hearing none. That'll be the order. Item six, approved the Calshape Hback Assessment Maintenance Pathway Professional Services Agreement with Mesa Energy Systems, Inc. Go ahead and ask for a motion first discussion. So moved. Second. Was that move? Was that Anita or Rene? That was me. Have a second. Anita. Oh, Maria. Okay. I move second. Okay. Okay.
Any discussion on item six? Hearing none. That'll um we all in favor? I I Any opposed? Hearing none. And that'll be the order. Okay. Consent item J. So we have 1 through 46 for consent. So um let's go ahead and um I'm going to pull um Sorry. Which one you want to pull? I'm going to pull five and 15 to 23. Okay. 15 15 through 23. Oh, through 23. Yes. Okay. Anybody else? Okay. So, let's go ahead and a motion to approve one uh of all items except for item five and 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. So, the motion is to approve all of those that other than the ones I just um noted. Do we have a motion? So, moved. I'll second it. Motion by Amanda, second by Maria. All in favor?
I any opposed? Hearing none. Okay. So say do we need to recuse? No because it's not a discussion item. Okay. So item five u we'll pull that one first. Item five. I am going to recuse myself from uh voting because I'm an instructor for um uh UMass Global. But you just pulled it. Yes, that's what I'm I'm I'm recusing myself. I want You want to hear it? No, she No, there's no discussion. Oh, I got you. There could be discussion because you pulled it. I pulled it. I'm just But we can't have the discussion with you in the room. Well, there will be no discussion. Okay. So, we'll just go ahead and uh Can we vote with her? We can mo vote with her in the room. Yes. All in favor of um approving item five. Maria is going to abstain from this. Um all in favor?
I do. We need a motion first. Um no, you've already had the motion. Yeah. All in favor? Any opposed? None. Okay. That'll be the order approving five. So we have 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. Those all of those fall into the same block. Um I think the the board is supposed to be the final signature on these documents and there were no do signatures on the back of any one of those documents. And I feel a little bit uncomfortable uh signing off on a budget uh that is they've the the the vendor should have been able to sign that they this is what they are sending to us and the receip receiving district should be able to also sign. They've received it so that the board's signature is the last signature on this document. And all of these ones that I just pulled had no signatures.
So that's why I pulled them. Mrs. Nelson, you want to say something? I'll just clarify that typically that they do not become enacted until the board takes action. Once the board takes action, some companies do send them with a signature hoping that the board will take action and get our signature. But the practice has been that once the board approves it, then it goes um back to both parties, including um me for signature on that contract and the other company. And so that's how it has has worked. Well, the the challenge that I have there is that our signature has a date. And so on the date that we will finally sign it is today's date and it will have that date. So when you But this is our agreement. This is not their contract. This is our agreement. I agree. Okay. You know, this is their contract they're sending to us and it shows that the board approved it on um what's today?
April 10th. That's the date it will show. So, if they should sign it after the board has said it's April 10th and then they sign it on April 20th, then they sign it after we have already said yes. is like having a blank check and giving to somebody a blank check and say just sign whatever you can and bring it up for for us. So I'm a little bit this is my discomfort and please help me understand uh why we can't do it the other way. Bring everybody's signature in and we can sign it and be done. Well, if that's the desire of the board, I can request that in the future. Um it may delay some contracts because they typically will send them and we return them with um your signature. The contract is posted. It gives all of the details of what we are um going under contract for.
It's public um public can see it. It does not cause them to have a blank check to go spend money because you have already defined within the contract what is um allowable. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, um is there any other discussion? Okay. So, um, it was explained by staff. Um, so I'm going to make a motion. I make a motion that we approve 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. Do I have a second to approve? Second. Anita did. Okay. All in favor? I.
Any opposed? Maria, did you vote? No. Okay. Okay. So, uh, Maria, so it's a four four to one vote to approve with Maria Opara voting. No. Okay, that takes us all the way to the end here for a second close session. So, we need a motion to go back into close session. So, move. We need a motion that we just go. Oh, yeah. We do have all in favor. We have a second. Second. Second so we can get Okay. All in favor? I All right. I'm going to um from close session. See here. Okay, let's do a real quick roll call. Amanda here. Maria. Maria here. Renee here. Anita here. I'm here. So, close session. The clerk of the board will report on any action taken in close session. So, Amanda, you can go ahead and Okay. In closed session, the board of trustees took action in support of the following recommendation from the superintendent B8 conference with labor negotiator unrepresented.
