I missed it. >> You're not listening. >> I was listening. Okay. Thank you, Josh. Uh, no action
012on the reading of the minutes. So, next we'll move into the treasurer's report. All right. Treasurers reports me. So the treasury report uh looks at each of the funds and just gives a general overview of the revenues, expenditures and the change in the equity uh for each of those funds. Uh the big one we need to talk about is fund 10. Uh that is where the majority of our expendit uh revenues and expenditures occur. Uh that is for all of our uh just regular um daily expenses. Um, you will notice that we ran a $390,000 deficit last year, which is a large number. Um, and there's a few reasons why this occurred. Um, the first is remember that we made about a $70,000 transfer from fund 21 to fund or from fund Yeah. from fund
013uh 10 to fund 21. So, when we make that transfer, that's technically an expenditure, but it's really just moving from fund 10 to fund 21. Um, then there's a few other um components that go into this um deficit. Um, one was a missed revenue payment from one of our municipalities that has since come in that was about $20,000. So, those two there um bring us to about 90,000. Then, um, you'll recall that we had to replace a special ed ban that was unexpected. That was about $60,000. Um, our fund 50, uh, had some struggles last year. So, that resulted in a bigger than expected transfer from fund 10 to fund 50 to cover that deficit as we're not allowed to carry a negative fund balance in fund 50. Um, there uh was a little there
014was less revenue than I had anticipated with our high cost transportation. So, that was a miss on my part. Um, and then the other things come down to some staffing um I don't want to say issues, but there were some staffing things that required um either long-term subs or um hiring of people that was not expected. And um I I don't want to get into detail with those as that's pretty confidential. But what I'm getting at here is these were a lot of oneoff things. It's not like we went out and hired four or five new positions that we're going to be carrying through into um the next couple years. Um I I'm confident in the budget that I'm going to present tonight that gets us back to um pretty much a break even budget
015um as again these these were one-off things. And then finally, I'll just remind you that um late last summer, we uh decided to replace our boilers for $170,000. And while I usually try to build in a little cushion um into the budget when we approved that boiler, I pulled out some of that cushion and that obviously came back to bite me a little bit. So that's how why we're running that $390,000 deficit. Any questions there? >> Are any of the legal fees we've been kind of in that as well? Is that unexpected or were those budgeted for? I'm sorry. which which legal fees the ongoing >> that that the amount that we've paid for that is like $1,500 because our insurance has picked up has picked up that entire tab. So yeah, that has cost
016us >> our deductible. >> No, thank you. >> Yeah, it was our deductible. >> So yeah. Okay. So then fun 21. Uh this is where we have all of our student activity accounts and our scholarships. Um we ended up $93,000 surplus there. Great news for our scholarships and student activities. Fund 27. Uh this is all of our special education funding. Um we saw an increase in spending which you know we're going to see with the increasing salaries and benefits as a majority of that is salary and benefits. Um fund 50 again we struggled a little bit there. Uh but with that transfer, we had a zero change in equity, zero fund balance. And then finally, uh the last thing I want to draw your attention to here is with fund 80. You'll notice we had
017a $78,000 surplus there. That is our community service fund. Um that allows us to do our um middle school sports and some other things that I'll touch on later. But um you'll see that we ended with a $285,000 uh fund balance there. And yeah, sorry. There are copies up here if people want physical copies. I meant to say that before I started this, but I just want you to hold on to that number and remember that fund 80 fund balance for uh when we get into the levy and things like that. >> Uh then the second part of the uh treasur's report is just our last um end of the year cash reconciliation. Um, I you've seen that one before in our July meeting. >> So, that concludes the treasurer's report and we would need
018a a motion to move forward to accept that. >> Yes. >> A motion to accept treasury report as presented. Do you have a second? >> I'll second. >> Okay, we have a motion by Brian uh sec by Carrie. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I >> I >> opposed. None heard. Motion carries. All right, clerk's report. Uh, clerk's report again showing a lot of the same information except now we just get a little bit more detail with our uh, fund 10 revenues and expenditures. Uh, the the couple pieces that I'd like to draw your attention to would be the that orange square at the bottom there. Um, that would be our total loss or profit for the year, which was uh, a loss of 218,000. And then very bottom there in
019green, uh, our total all funds balance would be 6,37 uh,68. If there aren't any questions there and similarly, we'll need a a motion to accept that. A motion to accept the first report as presented. >> Second. >> Okay, we have a motion on the floor um to accept the clerk's first report as presented by Brian, second by Josh. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I. >> I. >> Opposed? None heard. Motion carries. Okay. Next, we move still to you for the budget presentation. >> All right. So, on page 10, we start with the budget. Um, this is actually where I'm going to do the majority of my talking. This is uh some of the assumptions that went into creating the budget and then as well as some of the highlights. So
020uh this budget is presented in the department of public instructions budget adoption format which complies with Wisconsin state statute uh 65.90. Uh the to district's total levy will be 11,790,611. Uh this is compared to last year's levy of 10,214 and I lost a zero there. uh 10,214,390, which is a 15% increase uh year-over-year. The vast majority of that is coming from our new capital referendum that we uh passed in April. So, you can see as it breaks down, fund 10, we've got a 9,998,542 levy. Fund 39, we are levying $1,492,69. And then fund 80 is $300,000. When we take that levy into account, um our mill rate is going up to $422, which um compared to the mill rate of 3.98 from last year. The vast majority of this is because of that referendum. Now,
021when we were talking in the spring to pass that, we said it would be about a 58 cent impact. um it's coming out to be 57, but $3.98 plus 57 isn't $422. So the difference here is with those increasing property values that's driving the mill rate down. So we're losing some of that mill rate, but then the referendum is bringing that back up. But when you look at the actual total amount that we're levying, it's right on what we what we said it would be, which is great news. The third Friday count was a whopping 531 students enrolled. Uh 493 of those residents, which came out to 482 FTE. We'll get into that a little bit more as well. Um equalized property values increased 6 8.6% 6% over last year's equalized value. All municipalities saw
022increases greater than 8% aside from Sugar Camp, which saw a 6.1% reduction. Monaco and Three Lakes increase 9.2% and 15.1% respectively. >> 19. >> What did I say? >> You said >> Oh, 19.2 and 15.1% respectively. Um, again, the district will levy $1,492,69 in fund 39. That is our first levy of the new referendum. And that will be 21 years of that. We did our first borrow in July on that um 21.6 and then we'll rem we'll borrow the remaining in January. Uh staff received a 2% increase in compensation for 2526. The district stayed with a high deductible health plan for 2526 but included a co- insurance um provision which helped us keep our increase to just 1.5%. Staff are still responsible for the first 500 for a single plan and a thousand of that
023deductible and then the district HR picks up the rest of that. So, while we call it a high deductible plan because it is technically a high deductible plan, when we look at the employees actual cost there, it's it's far from a high deductible plan. Uh, and the deductibles for reference are 3,300 for a single and 6,600 for a family. Uh, the uh employee is still um the employee contribution to that is still 12% for 2526. the district saw no increase in dental insurance premiums and that benefit is provided uh at no cost to the employees. And then the Wisconsin retirement system um in 2025 that amount was 6.9% of the employee earnings and then in 2026 it'll be 7.2%. So it's actually going up quite a bit. And then finally our total district staff. We
024have 106 total um staff, six administrators, 55 certified staff, and 45 support staff. That does not include coaches and stuff like that. Um and then finally, total enrollment. Again, a whopping 531 students, sugar camp was at 117, three lakes 176, and then the junior high uh senior high was 238. on page 11 and 12. Those are just um some function code references for um the budget adoption format which you'll see starting on page 13. >> Kayla, can I can I ask a quick question on the Wisconsin Retirement System? >> Yep. >> Who sets that? When sets that >> it's it's set in the summer and it's by the board. Um, and they just take a look at how the funds are doing and whether or not they have got the money to meet the obligations
025and it's kind of a >> DPI board. >> No, WRS ETFs. >> Yep. Employee trust funds. >> And does anybody else have any say in that or that's just what it is? I >> I don't believe so. >> Yeah. So, uh, I think last year it was 6.9 and then went to 6.95. So, that's why I say it's it's a pretty big increase. It's by far the biggest that I've seen since since starting this and I believe the first time over 7% as well. >> Thank you. >> All right. So again 1112 just function code references uh to help you read the budget adoption format. I am not going to touch any of this because it is not in a very good format to actually give us information. So, if we could skip ahead to
026page 20, uh, fund 10 revenues are on page 20. Uh, this just gives you a breakdown of where all of our revenues are coming for fund 10. And then on page 21, I've got a fund 27 revenue budget. And unless there's any questions on individual items there, I'll just move on to the full budgets. Okay, page 22 then gets us into fun 10. And when I presented this in uh late summer, um we had talked a lot of we we had talked about a lot of this already. So, I'm not going to rehash a lot of it. I'm just going to hit these main points because the budget has stayed pretty similar. There's been a couple staffing little staffing changes, but nothing significant. So, the one thing that I want to draw your attention to
027here um is first the levy for fun 10, the taxes and other local sources going up. Um that's just due to our revenue limit um increasing uh mainly due to the $350 uh per pupil that was in the state budget. Uh the next thing and the biggest one is that interd district payments and that is our open enrollment and you can see that that's going up quite a bit up to $813,200 which um which is a lot a lot more money than we've typically been getting and you'll see that spread on the open enrollment and it's it's amazing. It's great. But otherwise uh when you take all the revenues and expenditures in like I said we're right about break even. We're at uh a $5,000 profit. Page 23 gives us a uh just a graphic
028breakdown of the revenue and expenditures. And uh in that revenue, I like to break it out because um you know, a vast majority of our money comes from our taxpayers. We get very little general aid with um our high property values up here. But then I broke that down further to show our tax base and then the tax from our referendum. So that that orange up the top is what we're getting from our referendum. So you could see um how reliant we are on that referendum and how important it is for us to um keep passing those. Other than that with the expenditures, we're a people business. You can see a vast majority of our expenditures are salaries and benefits. Okay. B27 on page 24. Um I had mentioned this when I uh presented our
029preliminary budget, but u the increase in special ed reimbursement in the bianial budget uh that was passed this summer is saving us. um you can see that that's going up substantially um about $225,000 compared to last year and that then in turn allows us to lower the amount that we're having to transfer from fund 10 to fund 27 to cover that. So that's that's a great benefit to our district. Um on the purchase services side, I just want to draw your attention or on the expenditures, I want to draw your attention to the purchase services. You'll see that's going down quite a bit. Uh a majority of that is due to um us hiring a staff member and then not having to rely on 1099 contractors and CISA for some of our services. And then
030um that would obviously correspond to a a greater increase in salaries as you can see up top there. But then otherwise uh you'll see that we are break even. We always have to break even in fund 27 can't carry a fund balance. So anything that were uh any deficit that we have then we would just transfer from fund 10. Uh fund 50 uh as I had mentioned we we struggled a little bit with that last year um with this budget and us having substantially more students in the district. Uh I figured we would be able to course correct a little bit there and sell some more lunches. So you'll see in that federal aids grants that's that's all of our national school lunch reimbursement there and uh when we submitted that September claim for this
031year we are right back on track. It's it's even better than I had thought. So one month so far so good. Uh hopefully that trend continues throughout the rest of the year but we're selling more lunches and we were doing better that way. Again, with fund 50, we're not allowed to uh have a negative fund balance there. So, anything that uh any um deficit there would have to be covered by inter fund transfer. And that's what you see up there at the top uh line under revenues in fund transfers. So, looking at about $104,000 deficit there. And then finally, fund 80. Uh I told you to remember that healthy fund balance there that we had in fund 80. uh because we're going to lower the levy a little bit with um in fund we're going
032to go from 350,000 to 300,000 and the idea there was to help lessen some of that tax impact of the referendum kicking in this year um and we have enough in that account to do what we need to do with it um right now. Then finally, the last thing I want to show on the expenditure side would be uh that non- capital objects uh increasing greatly. We're going to start uh sprucing up the fitness center a little bit and we've done that already with a couple new machines. We got all new dumbbells coming in um in the next couple weeks. Um going to get some new mats in there and really clean that up as well. So, we're going to start using some of that fund to start sprucing things up in there a little
033bit. Any questions on any of the fund budgets? All right. 27. We talk about our two referendums. So, uh, on November 8th, 2022, we passed an operating referendum for 4.25 million each year starting with the 2324 school year and ending in the 2728. And as I showed in that fund uh 10 budget that is so critical to our district. Um below in that table you'll kind of see how the district will come out at the end of that um cycle. And right now it's looking at about a $649,000 uh loss. Vast majority of that uh is coming from last year with that that 390,000 that we lost. Um, when you look at that 2728 being uh 450,000 about, I I think we've got some tools in our pockets that we can we can maybe shore
034that up a little bit and and bring that a little bit back. And then finally, um just a little blurb about the capital referendum. Uh we had two questions. Uh one to do school building and facility improvements. The second was for um facility improvements uh to the athletic facilities and sites. Uh both passed uh quite easily. Um and as I said, we did uh our first borrowing in July and the rest will be borrowed in January. And the last section here is just some information uh that I find to be interesting or uh relevant to the budget. The first is just a longitudinal survey of our levies equalized values and equalized tax rates. This just gives you kind of an idea of how our mill rate has trended over over the years as well as
035those equalized values and then how we relate to the state. And you can see we're always quite below the state average. On the next page, same sort of thing, but now we're looking at our aid membership. And you'll see in there, um, it says 490 students. Um, that 490 is an average of last year's January and September student counts. So that's where that 490 comes >> for FT. Correct. >> Yes. But that is not the number that goes into our revenue limit. Of course, we have to use a different one for that. That's a three-year rolling average based on our membership. Uh so that would be 488 when we look at our revenue limit. So close but not not quite the same thing. Open enrollment summary. And this is um some good news here. you
036can see that we're going to be up well I'm not going to say we are going to we're we're estimated to be up 36 students um when we look at open enroll in verse out which it last year we were 10 up so that means more money coming in from other districts and a whole lot less going out. Now, the interesting thing is when you look at that third Friday resident though, we've got a lot more students, but our residents continue to go down. When you look at that open enrollment out, those open enrollment out, those are our residents. Those count as our residents. So, as that goes down, those are residents that we don't have, but we're going to make that up with that open enroll coming in. So what this tells me is
037the students the increase in students that we're seeing in is a increase in open enrollment. On page 32, you see a breakdown of um our special education in the district. Last year we serviced uh 90 students. This year we've got 82. Um there are 37 staff in the district that are serving these students in some capacity or another. Um so I just thought that was interesting. Then in fund 80 on page 33, the major uses of that fund 80 would be our middle school athletics, our school resource officer, fitness center upgrades. Uh we do a community story hour at Denver Memorial Library that's open to um the public that our 4K attends. Uh our public relations communication staff and then uh for some of the upkeep of the community ball fields at Donite Park. Last
038but not least, we have our enrollment and participation in our uh student lunch program. Um even with seeing that increase in students, our uh number of free and redu free is right around that 29% which is where it was last year. So we're hanging right around where we were last year. Um our reduced number is about 8.7% of stu our students. And then total free and reduced is 200 students total. Um or about 40% of our student population is free or reduced lunch. And then finally on page 35 um we see the income guidelines for free and reduced if you're interested in that. And I need to take us back because I think I skipped a page. Oh, no I didn't. Okay, we're good. >> I just forgot I even talked about it. Okay, so
039any questions or concerns or >> in talking with uh other business managers? Are we at I mean are are districts in the area seeing the exact same issues with lunch with some other theend only. Um >> yeah I think we're in a similar situation with a lot of the other districts around us. we we are a bit of an oddity um just being so small and um being so reliant on that recording but at the same time there's many others in the same boat so you know >> any questions from for Caleb from the floor >> how How much should we paid to Burnside Park? >> It's about 10,000. >> Is that basically field rental or what is that? >> Uh we we signed an agreement with them um many years ago that we would
040use our fund to help um maintain those ball fields. So, we've been honoring that agreement and yes, that is part of the the rental to use it for baseball. So, >> and soccer too is soccer included in that cuz we practice soccer. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yep. >> And that field. >> Yep. Yep. Yep. Good. Any other further? >> So that mean we just need a resolution to adopt the budget >> if ready. Um the resolution is um in board docs. Um >> also reference back to the uh notes from last year substituting. >> Yep. With the only change um if someone's ready to make a motion compared to the language from last year on the resolution to adopt the budget, the change would be it would not be $350,000. it would be $300,000 for
041the community service operations. So, we will need a motion from the floor on a resolution to adopt the budget. Somebody'd like to make that motion. I can put my computer here if they'd like to or just read it. Oh, there. Perfect. I would move to adopt make a motion to adopt the 24 2526 school year proposed budget as presented including 300,000 for community service operations including recreation programs such as youth sports fitness center community communications and community resource officer which meet the DPI's criteria for use of community service fund levies. Do we have a secondary? Okay, we have a motion for resolution to adopt the budget um by Justin, second by Kerry. Again, the vote is every member in the room who can vote.
