001Good evening and welcome everyone. This is the the culmination of our budget workshops. This is budget workshop number three and I'm going to take you through this evening uh the largest portion of our budget um in terms of dollars. Like the last budget meeting, you may recall we went through uh the greatest number of different budget areas for the instructional components. Um and as a recap, number one was about the operational areas and uh administrative areas. But this evening, we're going to go through staffing and benefits, which is in any district across the state is the large majority of anyone's budget. We'll also talk about our interfund transfer to capital, our community schools monies, revenues, the tax rate, which is always um extremely important to this community that I've learned over the over the last
002few years. I mean, like any community, but really putting into terms that they can fully grasp and understand when they're making a decision whether or not to support a budget. And then also, um we'll talk about grant funding. So when we talk about staffing, you've heard me say this at the onset that but when we began the budget development process, we had concerns going into it for a litany of reasons, but we made a promise um to this community that we were going to be lean in terms of what our asks were. Recognizing fully that over the past three years, excluding last year, three years prior to that, we were having big increases uh in our staffing and rightfully so because we were taking uh all the professionals that we had brought in as part
003of our academic supports to address learning loss for our students and finding ways to incorporate that into the budget. So during those those years, we did see large increases to the tune of almost you know 200 FTEES. Um, and we promised then that we were going to be scaling that back. Last year was reflective of that. This year, once again, uh, once again, a lot of numbers on here, but the next slide is a is a summary of what we're looking at in terms of staffing because really the numbers are these. Uh, we are looking now to try to supplement the pressures that we've seen internally. So when you have you know staff members that that are nearly 1,600 in totality and you've had such large increases on the instructional side on the operational side
004we felt the pressure internally primarily on our payroll department but also on our accounting department too as the number of transactions have increased. So what we're proposing to increase is uh one FTE for the purposes of increasing uh the clerical staff in the business office. It would be an account clerk position and they would be split between accounting and payroll probably looking at a 7030 split payroll to account. Uh we're also looking to add a maintenance mechanic 3 to our plant facilities department. Uh you know that this is something that I've been talking about over the last few years doing more with our dollars stretching them further and that really means where we can pulling projects back from outside contracted vendors and doing them in house. We've hired very skilled people in those positions over
005the fa past few years and we're looking to bolster that by bringing another person on especially with the introduction now of our new HVAC units at all of our buildings as with this bond. Uh this would be an area that's of great importance to us. But if you just look at the number of things that we've had to do in the last year to do our own internal repairs particularly in the areas of plumbing uh in the areas of heating uh these are this is a big concern to us. So, we think bringing on another uh maintenance mechanic 3 would help us to do that and address our district-wide needs in our buildings, especially with them aging. Um, and then the last is to reduce a half of an FTE. Uh, we used to have
006a sub caller position. Uh, that has now been taking on since the retirement of that individual. Uh, we've been taking that on in house in Dr. Cohen's uh area. His staff uh specifically has been doing this. So we've reduced that by 0.5FT. But when we talk about the employee benefits that are related to this, you see a lot of yellow highlighted. There's some significant numbers on this page. Um these are the big budget drivers for what we're going to see in terms of the culmination of our budget today. But the few that I've highlighted for you, you see uh near $573,000 increase on our ERS line. That's because our average increase is over 10% for this year. And that represents that number that you see there. Uh when you look at our non uh what
007they call our nonprofessional staff, our non-teer certified staff on our TRS line, we're lucky enough to have received a decrease on our employer contribution rate of nearly 14% from prior year. Uh thankfully, and that is going to represent a $951,000 decrease on that line. So it helps to offset that significantly. But then when we look at our social security, we're up over 200,000 on that line. Federal changes now to our annual wage cap is up almost 5%. So it's 4.77%. So our financial obligation now increases as such. Uh and that's why you see such a bigre increase there. Um but the big one that's that's going to jump out at you certainly is on our health insurance line. We talked about it in um the first budget workshop. if I told you right away that
008was going to be one of our biggest external factors. Um I'm sorry to say that it that it didn't disappoint because uh certainly that has a huge impact on what we've been doing. I I was really optimistic as we were going through the budget process. We were really doing uh yan's work, everyone here, everyone that was at the last two meetings really to sharpen pencils and do what we could when it affects this line this much. um and we have to meet this obligation for our staff and and rightfully so, but we're talking to the tune of just over $3 million for our u health increases because we're looking at uh increases upwards of 9.7% on average. Now, we talk about our debt service and our infront transfers. Uh the two that I want to
009call your attention to are the two that we've been talking about the most here. uh the debt uh transfer to debt service line, you're going to see a $500,000 increase there. That is now for our first installment of our borrowing for phase one, we're going to call it, of our bond borrowing. So, you know, we're we we've engaged in all aspects of the bond project, but our first borrowing now is going to take place this year. And in year one, it's only going to be a princ that principal payment is going to increase that line by nearly uh you know $500,000 u excuse me out of the total 85 million that we're going to be borrowing in totality for this bond. Now we're going to be talking more about that um at an upcoming board
010meeting where I'm going to take the community through what it looks like now versus what we had thought it would look like then because right now the impacts are going to be less than we had anticipated. uh in in I'm sorry, in the overlap years, the borrowing is still going to be the same, but in the overlap years where we're going to be borrowing on our debt service lines, we're hoping that the impact is going to be less. And then on our transfer to capital uh fund, we're going to go more through this on the next slide, but the line uh is uh 2.5 million. Uh that includes a $500,000 increase. You the board may recall that this was upwards of three million years ago. And I've always stressed the importance of this particular line
011in our budget because this is the ability for us to do smaller capital projects without the need to borrow. So by incorporating into the budget um like I said at one point was 3 million. We were able to do a lot of those things in house uh without going out. I mean not in house meaning not with without borrowing but it really gave us a lot of flexibility. You may recall we wiped that number out when COVID hit and we've been slowly over the years now bringing that back. And this is the proposed fund in fun transferred capital that I just was talking about. This as you heard Trusty Kger mention earlier, this was something that was vetted out before the um buildings and operations committee. Um and it changed from the time we started
012the year uh till uh even from our February meeting to the time we just made the recommendation to the board. We discussed a lot of different projects at the time. But as we've gone through this year and I've told this uh to you before that we're listening to the feedback that we're getting. Uh we're looking and seeing the things that are happening throughout the year and it's becoming more and more apparent that the number of issues related to our bathrooms uh and our septic lines in particular has been extremely problematic this year uh and our staff and also our contractor staff. We've expended um extraordinary monies in these in this regard this year. So we know now that we need to perform these upgrades not only for the benefit of our staff, our students and
013our visitors. um you know, it's a um uh almost an ambassador when you're coming to our buildings. That's one of the things that you're seeing besides our auditoriums. You know, you're seeing our bathrooms probably more so than you're even seeing our classrooms. Um and we know though that doing this bathrooms um is important, but it's not just at these three buildings. I'm going to talk about that on the next slide, but that's where we're looking to focus these monies based on estimates that we've received from our architects and through our building condition survey. But also in here, we have uh $1 million allocated toward the abatement uh for the soil um asbestous abatement and reme remediation that we need to do uh that we've shared throughout this process. We know that those numbers uh could
014exceed then what we have available in our approved community funds for our bond. And so we're looking to utilize these this funding source to supplement that. Now, if the bidding should come back on these uh and we determine as we go through this funding, and this is going to be a little bit tricky because I'm going to show you on the next slide less than that, if we get very aggressive bidding, we can we come in under these numbers, we do have the right to then do other projects. So, the committee has identified where we would go after that. We could do other bathroom upgrades at either South Ocean or Eagle would be next on the list. We can continue with the asbestous floor tile removal. that abatement project that we talked about last year.
015You may recall in the end of fun transfer we put aside 1.24 million I believe was the number for that u or we could look at other projects within the BCS uh that are listed there. That would be the order which we which we would do these projects. But I keep talking about this next list because it became very apparent that when we were looking at the bathrooms trying to figure out how we could do this. Those weren't the only three buildings that were in need of these these repairs and these necessity. We also have significant um upgrades needed at these at these particular buildings. Oregon, Saxton, Kanan River, and Tmont. But in addition, their parking lots were on our radar for a while as well. Um and the level of the parking lot repairs
016uh not just might not be coding, there might be some remilling work that needs to be done um can be significant. But the reason I share that why we made uh put these on this list as opposed to the other is we need to tie parking lot projects into an inside uh project that we're working on in order to receive aid on all the projects in totality. So, because we want to get our full building aid back on the monies that we expend, we want to make sure that we have um a bathroom project associated or an interior project, but we've assigned it to bathrooms associated with any parking lot projects that we do. And once again, should there be monies remaining, we would look to do parking lot and bathroom improvements at South Ocean
017or Eagle or other capital projects that are listed in that um BCS report. Now the big blue box is important too. I included this in this presentation because it's important to say we understand how interfund transfer fits into our overall mission in terms of what our objectives what we're trying to accomplish with this budget. But I want to make sure it's very clear this is something that requires a separate vote. The capital um reserve uh is is voted on by the community in terms of setting it up to create as a quote unquote savings bank. Right. We're going to use that as a a savings account rather that we're going to save money for future use. When we have monies uh to the point where we want to expend, now we say, "Okay, we've got
018we're going to have $5 million in this account." Now, we have to ask the community for their permission to expend it. This would be a separate proposition voted on separate and apart from the budget, but is going to have its own proposition, which you'll see there, which is lengthy, and it goes through in detail the things I was just talking about. Uh now also in this is our community schools. So when we talked about aid, we talked about uh our community school set aside is unchanged uh in the governor's proposal. That's all that we have at this time is the governor's proposal. But what we do within our community schools is uh you may recall a few years back we broke out uh social emotional learning and family center as their own separate budget areas
019because we had all the money lumped into one area called community schools. We make sure that we allocate monies in these areas to make sure that we meet that allocation so that we do not leave any dollars on the table unexpended. So, the numbers will come in higher than that $900,000 number we're getting in aid, but we have this in the budget. So we have we'll move the monies around uh depending on the salaries as as as staff may change or contractual increases but in really in totality we're not looking at um anything here but uh a reduction overall on the three lines. Similar in our thought process is our district-wide codes and our superintendent initiatives. So our super our district-wide codes this is where we have our monies for our buildings for their supplies
020like for the main office. uh those are not in those academic areas that we talked about in the um previous budget uh workshop that we talked about. So, we've kept that flat. Uh that's just in accordance with what we've talked about keeping the budget lean. Uh the same with the superintendent initiatives. We've kept that flat. You'll see a $5,000 uh flip-flop, if you will. U not knowing what the new superintendent will want. um uh the new superintendent may want something more along the lines of equipment purchases. We could always transfer out of equipment, but we can't transfer into it. So, we just moved monies out of the contractual area, put them in equipment so that we have a net increase of zero, but just to give the superintendent a little bit more discretion because clearly
021we don't know what what their plans are. But in summary, this evening, these budget areas uh compromise I mean sorry um they will uh in summary will total about $3.3 million in terms of the budget increase. Uh an increase of 4.24% over what last year's budget was for the same respective areas. Now we'll talk about how this now plays into where we are in totality. So we look at our revenues. So when we talk about revenues, the big two are your property taxes and your state aid. uh those compromise uh nearly 80 to 90% of of anyone's budget uh particularly ours on our property taxes line uh you'll see that we have an increase of $4.2 million that is a levyto levy increase of 3.15%. And I'm going to have and on the next slide
022you're going to see I've summarized these for you for to make it easier because I know there's a lot of numbers on this one. I'm just calling out where these numbers come from. Uh on the um uh state sources line, you'll see the increase of $1.5 million. Uh you may say, "Well, Frank, you were talking about 1.8 at the f first budget workshop." Remember, we're looking at just using the governor's numbers at this time for the executive proposal. That's all we have. They're supposed to come together and have a budget approved by April 1st. It does not look like they're going to meet that date. Again, once again, I always tell that you that we're putting forth a budget that we have to adopt, not knowing fully what the state is going to give us,
023but we'll talk about that missing 300,000 on the next slide. Uh, but that is uh a 1 uh I'm sorry, that's yes, a 1.52% increase. Um, so the budget itself will be uh six the budget increase uh will be $6.9 million for a total of $252 million on our budget. That is a budget-to-budget appropriation increase of 2.83%. And then the last column I wanted to just call your attention to, I'm going to spend more time on this on a future slide, but the contingent budget, you'll see changes there and you'll see a lot of red. So, I'll explain what contingent budget is and why we have those decreases there. But first, let's do a quick recap. Oh, yes. >> Um, I see a a federal decrease of $100,000. What is that? >> That is that
024should be on the That's the federal >> budget projections revenue. >> Yeah, of course. Oh, I see now in a different budget line. Okay. Okay, thank you. >> So on the grant slide, we don't have the u the numbers yet released by by New York State Education Department, but we are expecting or projecting that our allocations will be the same. But we did show this is that 300,000 I was telling you about on the UPK line, universal prek. Uh, if you remember, they had an allocation for our district upwards of $334,000. So, we put that in there assuming, like I said, that we will have at the most. Certainly, we're only going to be able to claim what it is we uh use depending on the number of students we have in the programs, but
025our changes to the account codes that were previously presented. So this is a pretty hefty slide because uh based on budget workshops number one and two, I gave you a summation of those slides and after we finalized going through all of the benefits, particularly the the impact that the health insurance line had, we had to now scale back in different areas. So we had to take a very um evasive look in terms of where we had monies that we think we have to reduce um or we're hoping because like I said, we look at forecasting. So we had to scale back some of our expectations. Some are on the smaller side like toward the bottom on our utilities. Those three lines total, you know, $50,000 in reductions on what we think our estimates are. Um
026others we had to go back upwards of 9, 10, 11 years in terms of looking at historical data for some of our Boseies lines to see where we could have additional savings. And we're doing this based on averages. Certainly, we find ourselves in in a situation like this where we have to reduce the budgets that we presented by 1.3 million. We need to find significant dollars. So, you know, you see some big numbers on that slide. Um, in terms of uh let's see, uh $200,000 on our uh multi peril property insurance. We told you that we had estimates that we had last time in terms of our insurance numbers. We're hopeful to find better numbers. That may mean us taking uh a harder look at our insurance coverages for next year. So, we're going to
027be very busy having uh some significant meetings over the summer with our insurance firm, if not perhaps going out to an RFP. It may come that may result in that. Um, looking at our handicap transportation, that's another uh line uh that we're looking at. Our profit tech uh that was one that we had to go back almost a decade in terms of looking at some of the dollars there. Uh and it's very important when we just consider outside placements why it's so important to bring back our students in house because of the savings it represents represents to us and why it's important to satisfying our budget meeting our budget needs. I do apologize. I read that multiparel line wrong. Um it was the handicap line that was down. The multiparel is a $36,000 increase. Uh
028that was because we had a meeting and that was for the uh flood insurance. They gave us great coverage u to the tune of almost u half a million dollars on all of all of our buildings and we thought for a district especially with us having the water so close why we wouldn't do it for a number so low to get coverage numbers that high uh that was very important to us. Um there are some other increases on there the the bus estimate came out higher than when we presented back in u January uh for that line. The art equipment line that was uh Mr. Brinkman moving monies around because the kiln broke down. He needs to purchase a new kiln. That is an equipment purchase. So, it's important we capture that that $10,000 in
029the equipment line. So, he was just reallocating funds that were already in there. So, it's a net net increase of zero. But that's why you see the 3,800 and the 6200 coming out of those codes, but going into the equipment line. Uh and then there's a $40,000 increase because there's some increased costs associated with our public relations that were not presented at the last uh budget workshop. So in summary, as I mentioned, um this is all the major categories and the totals by area, but as I mentioned, the budget is just over $252 million. It is just under $7 million in terms of its increase, which is 2.83%. But the next line you see on the bottom there is the changes that we would need to make to our budget to arrive at what's called
030a contingent budget, which is a what's called a zero levy increase. So that should be if the budget doesn't pass, the budget the the board has basically three options. The board can either put up the same exact budget for a second vote. They can put up a change budget. The budget can go either up or down as the board sees fit. or the board can decide to move right to a contingent budget without a vote. And that budget though is a contingent budget has parameters that are automatically associated with it, which I'm going to go through. But first, quickly, here's the the totals again for you. This is to make it easier for you. Uh the 2.83% is a budget-to-budget appropriation increase. Once again, includes an interfont transfer to capital projects of 2.5 million. And
031importantly, once again, we are not looking to pierce the tax cap with this budget. Uh the levy increase is 3.15%. Again, this is not the tax rate. This is the tax levy. I'll go through the tax rate in a moment. Um but I always put this last bullet in because it's always important to share with with the board and the community that you're going to see a lot of numbers now in News Day and you're going to see varying numbers from one district to the next. And everyone's like, well, we we all live in a tax cap world of 2%. Why does Pat Med have a 3.15% increase and so and so has a 1.79 and so- and so's got a 6.31? It's because it's going to change from from uh district to district based
032on the exclusions in your budget. So, when we talk about tax rate, our our tax levy is just over 4 million. That's that 3.15 number that I just went over with you. Our tax percentage though increase for our for our property taxes comes in at 3.29 to 4.34%. And the reason we share a range is that's assuming either a 0% decline in assessed valuation or upwards of a 1% decline. Uh because as I share each year the property tax rate will increase as your assessed valuation goes down. And that's the number we want to project for the community is it's, you know, certainly it's a pessimistic outlook, but I want to give them a worst case scenario. And you may recall we used to do a 0 to 2% range, but I adjusted that because
033in the last 13 years, we've only gone over a 1% declination one time in 13 years. So, I'd rather give them a more realistic number so they can really kind of hone in on where this is. But truthfully, that 3.29 29 to 4.34%. Whenever we present that range, we've typically typically been coming in under that because as assessed valuation goes up, the tax rate goes down. So, we've been fortunate enough to come in under that budget. So, in the last six years, five of the six years, we've been actually under that number. So, that's a good thing to have because that, like I said, we want the community to know what it would be, like I said, in a worst case scenario. So, when you look at that and you say, "Well, what's the average
034home in our district?" The assessed valuation based on a $2,800 value by the town of Brook Haven. And that's an average home in our district, okay, with no decline in assessed value. Okay, that number would be $285 for the entire year to support this budget. So, some notable highlights. Uh, once again, I think we prepared a fiscally responsible budget. And when I say we, once again, I I have to stress it's been an a toptobottom collaborative effort by everyone involved. Can't say enough about the people that I work side by side with to make this happen. Uh it maintains all academic programs. We're not cutting programs. It includes improvements to our buildings to improve uh address our finan uh sorry address the needs of our of our buildings that are aging and also does not
035result in the excessing of any staff members. That is not the story you're going to hear from a lot of districts. I'm telling you now there are a lot of districts you're going to hear about News Day that are accessing staff and there's several districts I think there might even be a high number that are looking to pierce the cap this year. Uh this does include as I mentioned the new account clerk position in the business office um to reduce the demands on payroll and accounting offices. It does include the addition of a new maintenance mechanic as I mentioned in our plant facilities department to help with increasing uh building repairs. And then it does also continue the uh radar academy program that we implemented uh two years ago. that's maintaining that program because we
036believe that that's got to take some time to start bringing more and more students back to getting a a good education on campus. Now, these are the contingent budget impacts that I was alluding to on the on the former slides, that zero levy increase. So, when you have a zero levy increase, it means that the cuts to the budget would total $4.2 million to result in a uh budget totaling $247 million. Some of the caveats to this are all equipment purchases are removed uh from the budget removes the 20 uh $2.5 million interfund to uh capital that comes out of the budget as well. And then we've got to look to eliminate positions andor supplies or contractual needs throughout the budget. Maintaining the ratio. So we've got to maintain the admin to program to capital
037components of the budget. This those are done on a percentage basis. So when we looked at this, what we would need to do is um not only do we automatically eliminate the new positions that we've talked about, we would have to eliminate five administrative positions in this budget. It would also require us to remove four clerical staff, two being full-time positions and two part-time. And it would require us including I'm sorry all their all the benefits associated with those positions obviously and then we would have to reduce reduce certain supplies. Travel and conference is one that we look to eliminate first as well. But that's once again if the board should decide uh we have to go to a contingent budget. Now some important dates on April 27th. That's the last day that we can
038transmit the property tax report card to the state. We typically do this after the board give us gives us the approval of the budget. So once we have the board's approval, we will look to transmit that, but we cannot do that any later than April 27th. On the 30th, we're looking to have the budget brochure sent out. All the copies of the budget will be online. We always make sure we post that to our website, but we look to mail out our uh budget brochure material to share that with the community um to make sure that the residents have the information they need so that they're fully informed to be able to vote. We will do a budget hearing which is a culmination of everything we've talked about through our budget development um process. We'll
039do that on May 7th. Um in between we're going to have the road show that I'll be doing at all the different buildings um not just internally but also at external organizations. We'll do it with the PTA council. We'll do it at the Medford Civic Association. And on May 19th, that is the date of the budget vote and the board of education election. And with that, I'm happy to take any questions. >> Frank, can the community still go on the website and punch in their their address and do we still have that? >> Yep. Yep. That's a great point. Thank you for that. Yeah, we're going to look to do that again. We will do that. We usually update that um now in April. So, what uh Trusty Andrade is referring to is uh for
040the past few years, we put together what we call like a property tax tutorial. I think the communities found it very beneficial uh because what we do is we take now this budget loaded in and kind of run the numbers from uh the uh assessed valuation of properties from 1500 upwards of I think 13,000 and we run it so they can see what the impact would be with this budget on their home to make it easier and then um we also provide links to where they can find the information on the town's website so they can quickly find what's my property what's the assess valuation for my property so yes we'll do that thank Anyone else? >> I don't have any questions. U but I do want to thank you and your staff and all
041of the department heads and all of the people that pulled their budgets together to keep everything. I I know that there's a lot of um there's a lot going on in the world and there's a lot of uncertainty going on with monies moving around and what the budgets are doing and what the stock market is doing. And I think what you've guys done here is is really really good work protecting the community, protecting our staff, protecting the programming for the children, for the students. Um, and I I really want to thank you for your everybody's hard work. Thank you. >> Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. But like I said, this is a top to top to bottom effort starting with the board all the way down. When if we don't have the buyin uh
042at that level and continuing, uh, I think we don't accomplish the things that we've done. And like I said, you know, we we we remain steadfast in our commitment to this community. We talk about things. We we share it with them and then we try to deliver on them. And we've done that the last few years. And like I said, it's not easy. It's hard sometimes. No, I'm not always the the favorite person when I'm when I'm showing people that they I've got to either cut off spending or reduce their budget. Um you know, Mr. Richalts, I didn't I didn't go over that, but that's a $320,000 decrease. And meanwhile, I said this is the year we're making it happen. So now we got to go to work and figure out where else can we
043find monies to get those devices in. So, you know, a lot of work that needs to be done, but um like I said, this is what we get charged to do. >> Can I just um the So, for proposition two, is there some place >> um either when you go around on your road show or on the website where we could kind of talk about what the capital reserve is and in the past, what that money has allowed us to do and and the like the freedom of having it and how we you know, >> a history of how we've used the capital reserve over the years. >> Yeah. and how it's helped us so that people understand why it would be a good thing to have. >> It's it's a great point because like
044I said, anytime you can do it without bonding, right? And and think about that. This district up until before 24 hadn't bonded in 20 plus years. So, the fact that we now have it, we're seeing the impact of bonding and the fact that we can do those projects. Now, once again, on a smaller scale, 2.5 million is not going to change all these things, but it's a really important element to our budget to be able to do these things because we have a lot of work to do here. We recognize it. I'm constantly trying to find efficiencies. Um, and I make people crazy in the process of doing it.
