Um, so I just that's more of a theoretical question, but because we don't know what that's going to look like, but you know, I I get a little worried about using the stabilization fund now because I worry that we're going to need it. We're really going to need it. So, um, so I just I'm a I'm a little concerned about that. That's all. Yeah. I I I am as well. I think because we have these American Rescue Plan Act funds that we know we're going to be able to put back into it because we were going to try and use them for this onetime funding. I I think we'll be okay. But to your point, we are going to have to look at it in the fall as we see the, you know, see what happens at the end of 2025 as we go into 2026.
Um, so we looked at the state uh refunded uh dollars that we've been getting through fund 35 from the state for our facilities um projects and we're able to add some money to the budget for the project. Um tonight we have Maria Campos.
One of the things that I've been hearing from different legislators and and is that they think 2026 might not be too bad, but we're not sure where we may really get it is in 2027, you know, fiscal year 27 as we start planning for that in the fall. Yeah. What does that what is that going to mean as potentially either more cuts or the budget from the federal government? And because we've and because we've allocated the ARPA funds the way we have, those are safe from being clawed back. Um, under the regulations when that was done. Yes. Um, okay. But we all know things can change. Okay. Audia. So, you know, I guess a couple of things. I I guess I'm not I guess I maybe need to sit with you, Michael, because I'm not really clear. Um Well, first of all, let me just say this.
if you haven't met her yet, but she is the district's facilities planner and construction supervisor, and she's going to go through a few quick slides to show you the progress and what we have planned currently for Citrus, and then we'll open it up for any questions. Thank you. Good evening. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you guys. Um we've been working hard with the site, our principal, um facilities committees and others in the district to get to where we're at in the planning process. So this is an existing site. Um those of you guys that I'm sure we've all been there, we've seen it. Um it's the main building corridor, some portables in the back. Um an additional forplex building with library to the north. This here is um a conceptual drawing floor plan of what we anticipate the TK building to be.
Why does Britney Why did Britney want to take this approach? I'm not sure I It's uh strictly from a legal perspective. Okay. Well, that's a good reason. Yep. Um and then um yeah, so anyway, so I do think I need to sit with you and and go over a few things. So, in terms of one-time funds that we're using here, could you just uh quickly highlight which ones those are for me? The the one time. Sure. So, um overlay surplus of 150,000. Yep. Um American Rescue Oh, sorry. Um American Rescue Plan Act funding. Um so, the revenue replacement piece. Yep. Um, and that's 575,000. Yep. You don't need to tell me the numbers cuz I Oh, okay. And well, actually, why don't you? Because unfortunately, the public probably does not have this document like we do. Yep. And then, uh, the special education stabilization fund of $300,000 and then the general the general stabilization fund of the 1.4 million, right?
It mimics uh what you see at Shasta and McManis. Same district standards um similar layouts. This here is just a floor plan of the main building. Um we are touching the building very lightly. Um this site will require some indepth site infrastructure. um electrical and sewer, plumbing, etc. And we are also changing all the HVAC units, the heating, the sorry, heating, ventilating, air conditioning system, new carpet, new windows, paint. Um it's going to be a big change for the site. It'll foster the tools and the needs that kids need to excel. So, just a blow up of the floor plan. There's still a lot of massaging that needs to happen. Um, we will be in design for a good six to nine months. Then it'll go to DSA hoping to bid in a year. And that's a conceptual rendering of the TK complex.
I just want to kind of be able to total those up and see uh what that number is. significant seven very significant 2.3 round round numbers any other questions or comments Claudia so thank you no I think we need to vote we have to vote we have to vote the budget tonight because or or if we don't feel like we have enough information, if people feel like they need a little more time, we could do a special select board meeting on a Friday or another. We've done that in the past. If people are not comfortable voting the budget if they have more questions. No, I I think I would still like to sit with Michael and just hash out a few things. Um I think that uh you know I I know Bless you where we are. bless you and um what we have to do to to get the budget and and I know that I'm not looking to uh make any cuts or that.
Is there any questions? I just had I I was curious. Um, I know it's going to be a light touch and I know you've already had to have more money for the TK. Um, but one of the things you you said new carpet. Will there be new flooring in the like the main hallways? We are hoping that we can do that. Yes. And what about lighting? I I mean like the actual um fixtures or or the ability to change bulbs so that they produce more light because those ma those main hallways um are just so dark. So I'm everything's lightened. I'm going to try to explain um something that our architects could probably speak um more clearly on, but there are some regulations, engineering bulletins uh from the division of the state architect that limit how much money you can spend on a modernization of an existing building.
So, okay. Uh Makita, any questions, comments, or concerns? No. Joe, good or have Yeah. No, no. And I I mean, of course, I thought my approach was legal, too. And then when we went to Lisa, she I can see both sides on this one. So, I was like, okay, well, then let's just And and the school committee was already accounting for it being 100% funded, the circuit breaker, right? In their numbers, believe so. That was discussed at the tribal group. Yeah, I I think I think so, too. Yeah. So, there's no found money there. It's just reassurance that we got tonight from Karen. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And and I think the the one thing as Karen was saying is that if something has to happen in the fall and they can't do full funding, then we may have to take a different approach in regards to circuit breaker andor if other special needs expenses come in.
And once you exceed that, then you have to look at the structural components of the building when it was constructed and prove that it meets current DSA standards. I have no doubt it does meet those standards, but proving that is very expensive and very intrusive. So, we plan to do as much as we can to improve the interior of the existing building, but we do have to stay within a dollar amount. So, we will do as much as we can. Um, it is a charming charming school and it's been very well taken care of. Um, so it is a little easier to uh to adopt, you know, what we can do there. Um one other thing that um Maria didn't mention is that in the administrative office we will be creating that single point of entry like we are at every campus and um that will uh require some reconfiguration of that entry area and the administrative spaces.
Okay. Um, so I would like to recommend a motion to allow us to use the funds from the g from the general stabilization fund as presented on a one-time um I would I move that we allow the use of general stabilization fund transfers even though it does not completely match our policy in how we are to use them for this year. Let's start with that. Oh, okay. I need a motion. I'll I'll make that motion. Okay. And a second. All those in favor? I I'm going to add a motion that says when we receive when we receive our free cash in the fall with these potential ARPA funds that we re we review our use of free cash. the policy that the policy that dictates how we do free cash. We take these ARPA funds first and then do the rest of our policy. That's another motion.
Any other questions? The other question I have is is regarding um the issue of parking. Um I know we're not going to modify the front um ambiance, shall we say, of that school. But um the number of handicap available parking to get to that entrance. Are we making any kind of modification? And now there's only two spaces. Am I correct? One one space. One space. Oh, and I get it pretty often. Yeah. that I I know it's because it's small, but other than that, we're we're not going into um creating more parking. No, we are not. Okay. Thank you. We are creating a drop off. Yeah. For the TKK uh students. Um, so we're hoping that that does eliminate some of the need for parents to park and get out and walk their child in because it'll be right at the building. Yeah. Thank you.
No, I need some I'll make that move. Great. Any discussion on that one? No. Okay. All those in favor? I. Okay. Again, these are not easy discussions. Um so if people are watching and have questions about it, reach out and we can have a discussion. Okay. The next thing would then be to vote the budget before us that we will be then going to the warrant. This is just for the general fund budget overview. Um a budget of $83,822,57389 as presented. If I can get a motion to approve that budget. for fiscal year 26. Second. Any other discussion or questions? All those in favor? I. I. Okay. These documents once we're done with our meeting will become available if you have questions. Okay. So, that's the general fund budget. Michael, take us through the next budget. Yeah. The next one I have with that's listed on the agenda is the cable enterprise fund.
Thank you. All right. Do we have any other questions for staff regarding citrus specifically? This one's justformational, so I don't think you need any action from us. But um should we jump over to uh item 9.2.2 and Chapman and Park View as well and Rosedale? Sorry. Yes. Thank you. Okay, let's do it. We have been very busy on uh these three schools and uh we have a fantastic presentation for you tonight that will bring you up to speed on what we've heard and what we've listened to and what we're trying to tackle and um this is for information only and I'm so sorry I I sorry procedurally I have to stop you because I didn't ask if there was any public comment and we do have a bunch of members of the public here. Did anybody ofbody in the public want to talk specifically about what's going on at Citrus before we jump?
Enterprise fund bud budget. Okay. um which um is actually going to be going down now u excuse me uh the revenues um are going to go down uh fortunately rather substantially and I think that's a trend that uh everybody's worried about you know potentially excuse me you know potentially accelerating even which you know could present even bigger problems so um the FY26 budget is uh 395 5,000 and uh that's a reduction 105,000 the preach. Questions or comments on the cable access enterprise fund budget? It's going to be 395,000 versus the 500,000 from last year. I believe some of that is based on they had um there's they had a position that they didn't fill plus other things. Yep. They didn't fill it in. Yeah, they're not going to using it next year. That difference. Well, it was mainly because they the reason the 26 budget lower is is actually because we're not using as much in the retained earnings any of the retained earnings.
I'm so sorry. I just I love to hear from them. So, wanted to make sure. Okay. I apologize for interrupting. Carry on. No problem. This is our this is our group that was involved in all of the meetings.
Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Other questions? Motion to approve the cable access enterprise fund budget as presented. Some move. Questions or discussion? All those in favor? I. Okay. Next one. Michael, next one would be the um economic development fund. Revolving fund. The economic development SRF budget. SRF budget. Yes. Despite it is a revolving fund. Correct. Special revenue fund. Yep. Okay. Um so anyway, that's um you'll see that that budget is going up uh 31,884. Um now to help even though we are uh bumping up the revenue um just our ongoing revenue number from 286,000 to 320 um we're also going to look at using our current fund balance essentially what you would call like free cash for a special revenue fund or an enterprise fund uh of about $20,000. So, we'll be looking at building up the business incentive program a little bit more. So, we're adding um more money to that.
Um here, you know, to answer any questions that you might have. Um, so tonight without further ado, we have Jesse Miller and Dusty Baglier from DLR Group who's our architects for all three projects. They've put together a really nice presentation.
Um also, we're getting such a good response about the holiday um holiday decorations and everything, especially downtown. Um so, it's just making sure that we can keep up with expenses there. the main drivers and um and so I've also factored in salary adjustments directly into this as opposed to like through a contingency which is different than how you've done it in the past where you've put a contingency in the line. Okay. Correct. But so the the positions that are are hitting this are are the economic development positions. Correct. Okay. questions or comments on the economic development special project or special fund? Questions or comments? No. Okay. I just want to say that I think this program um I fully support the additional funds toward holiday lighting. I think the responses that we received for that holiday lighting, people were like it was just so nice to see.
So, we're going to let them go through that and when they wrap up, we'll answer any questions that you might have. Good evening, members of the board. Um, as Julie said, this is a very exciting time for Chico Unified. We're very excited to show you the progress that's been made on these projects. Um, please note that we will go as fast as I can. I talk a lot um to respect everyone's time. Uh, but Rosedale, Chapman, Park View, we've done a a lot of stuff. We've been busy since December when we first held our first workshop. We'll go through that. We're going to do a quick presentation reviewing where we've been, um, quick overview of the sites, uh, reviewing the programs, um, showing you some prototype options, um, that we've talked about with each of the sites, um, and then get into each where each project is currently.
