001ublic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And Carl, the only new thing that um we have to do now is take a roll call. So, you just have to ask them, say they're here. And also, we let the public and anybody here know that it's being recorded um because now these get posted to our website and on YouTube um as a new statute. So great. Okay. Well, let's go around then and say our names. Carl Wilson. I'm the budget chair. Scott Robinson, budget committee here. Shauna Horner, budget committee. Julie Huff, budget committee. Greg Lancaster, budget committee. Whether school board Harris, school board, Justin Miller, school board, school board. Jared Sprout, school board. And this meeting is being zoomed and recorded. So the first uh we had
002an adjustment to the agenda says add action item 5.2. Okay. Uh budget discussion. Any discussion? We did not receive any email questions from Great. I do have a question. So, I'm the newest person on the budget committee and this is my second year and I realize I going through the budget and I didn't like I don't know exactly what I should be looking at to make sure that I'm doing my due diligence as a bud a budget committee member. So, I was talking to my husband about it. He's like, "Well, talk to one of the budget committee members and maybe you can sit down with them." And I was like, "Well, I think that's not allowed." And is that correct? Like, we're not allowed to have a meeting about the budget that's not in the
003budget committee as long as you're not in a long not Okay. So, that is allowed because I was looking through the the rules that I got last year and it wasn't very clear. I'm saying and I always say at any time Julie if you have questions or like you know like even you know adopting post adoption come and ask. Yeah. Go ahead. And he'll he'll basically go line item you know you know what is this? What is this? What is this? Um what should I be looking for? Um you should be looking at FTE if there's is there a major change in FTE. Um I think that's that's crucial. Um always you always look at beginning fund balance always. Um, you look to see if there's a contingency, which there is. Um, you look to
004see if there's unappropriated um, funds, which there is. Um, transferred, which she went over those big ones last week. Um, ending fund balance. Is it is it is it real or is it or is just proposed? Well, in this situation, it's proposed, right? You're hoping that it's real. Um and then um any kind of things like said looking from is is there huge discrepancies from 2324 to 2425. Okay. Um and that's really what that and and and not even a line item but but the end you know the end the end of the the actual number um to look at to see is are we kind of the same as we were. Um but I will say one thing before we before we go to the motion. Um if you didn't see it last Thursday,
005there was a forecast very poor forecast um at a at a loss of about 895 million um and and the in this bienium for uh for if that is and that again those are all that's a forecast right that's that's the last two months of economy in Oregon. Um so there tariffs may be having an impact um or proposed tariffs may be having an impact um or it's just a slowdown. So one of the two um is it a political difference? Might be. Who knows? Um but the the biggest thing is for us if that were the case then we would see probably for every million we see between 25 and probably $35,000 of of income reduction. Okay. So if you multiply that so that so would that be a resolution? No. It's not enough
006to ever to do a resolution in in this actual budget that's as proposed. Um but it could be some crunching. Would it result in lack in and change of staffing? No, absolutely not. We're we're in really goodstead and I and I told Lacy today it doesn't really doesn't really concern me at this point. Would it concern me in the second year of the budget if it if this same kind of forecast showed up next May? Yeah, it would. Um and then you might have then you might have to see something different. Um but again, it's 4951. I I don't see any reason why there's going to be like I said really if you have that go down and then the feds pull the money then we have an issue, right? Then we have a major
007issue. Now now we are talking about resolutions. Um, but if the P if the Feds don't pull the money and and we're seeing this reduction, it's only it's just anticipated, but doesn't mean it's going to happen, right? So, I mean, the the economy could change in two months. The federal funds like what? 200. Yeah. The 2011 specifically 204 are the big ones. 220 title one. So your title your title dollar your fed funds your IDA and your food service which is a question on that along that same line I think with Julie was that I wasn't sure about how many FTE may be tied to potential you know federal funds that if we lose them well and those very few yeah and that that I I can you know going through that I could see
008you know FTE here and there but I wasn't exactly sure whether or not you As as far as our toll, if if all of a sudden we lose some federal funding, what is that going to happen? Well, for instance, our sped people, I've put in the sped fund, which is 220, I've also put them in the general fund. Oh, okay. So, they're both. So, you'll see a high FTE overall, but that's because some people are double booked because if I lose those federal dollars, I don't want to lose them. We still we still haven't covered yet. Okay. Okay. And so that's why the question I had where um last time looking at the ending balance where it was like the ending balance or beginning balance was 1.4 million then the ending bal ending balance was
0091 million and you had said that we double Yeah. because we double Yeah. And which is really good for us. Yeah. Um that we can that that's done because like you will see you won't see the the hurtful impact um of other districts that aren't doing that. Yeah, that are tying all of those all those Fed dollars into the into the federal fund and then if they got if it if that were to happen they would be hammered which you won't see that impact on you know in this in this budget of ours. Did that happen with some SAA funds or Yes. Yes. to some of the upper the schools up north right they had to lay off a bunch of PK funds. Yeah. And so the SIA specifically, everybody's budgeted in the general fund
010um except for our two behavioral specialists, but they're also budgeted in. So we have teachers that are also budgeted in for electives in the SIA, but again, they're safe if we lost those SIA dollars. So basically, if that'll if everything goes as planned, then the extra budgeting that we have will roll back in. It should your balance. Correct. Correct. Correct. Okay. The the permanent tax rate of 4.5152 that you're proposing per thousand. Is that what it currently is or is that higher level? No, that's Yeah, you can't change that. That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure if you can and we'll do both of those motions when we decide. Yeah. I'd be remiss in saying, and we've had this discussion when I first got on bunch of years ago when I had questions. I
011went and talked to this lady with the last name Huff for the entire week. And so I was like, well, and then when Lacy came on board, I talked to Lacy. So, you know, they're very great about having coming in. you know, if if you if you don't feel like you you had a lot of questions, you didn't want to, in my case, type it all out in the emails as they're great about it in your question, too. And I didn't email it in because I just went through this today. Um, line item on the psychological services. Where what page number are you on? Uh, 39. That's 39. That would probably be our school psych. School psych. Yeah. How come a jump from 8,000 to Because we didn't budget our school psych last year. Um
012South Coast CSD only had virtual sites. We made a decision to um purchase a school psych which got us into compliance and made us more comfortable with our sped services um getting kids evaluated on time. and um he's also very good at behavioral pro uh protocols as well and so we didn't spend as much in other parts of that function and so we were able to absorb him there and so this year I budgeted it under our psych and not as an as as an ESD service. Yeah. Okay. So we it was budgeted somewhere else but that's but I took it out of that line item that I budgeted for next year. So that's why I put in the right spot. Well, that gives us easier access then to those services, right? There's there's like
013a $600,000 increase last couple years kind of roughly. Um, are we growing kids fast enough here to keep up with that? I I think well as long as as long as the state school fund moves and the direction has moved since 201819 which is usually about2 billion you know um every bianium then that that would cover your rollups um I don't think that would be in the at at at 540 kids right um I I do think there might be a few more next year But but at 540 I think you know anywhere between 540 and 550 this district will be stable. If it drops back down to the 520s that then then you're going to see some major issues. It kind of seems like you know the co kids are all back to school.
014Yes. School is kind of I think you know we're not going to see that. No you're not no you're not going to go from the four the 480s to to 540 in three years. It's not going to happen again. But we but it's very but potentially we could see 56565 next year to start with. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Is there any more discussion from the committee? It doesn't look like we have any public audience. So I guess we're probably ready for a motion. So I if in front of you do you have or do I have it? I have it. I Okay. I move that the Myrtle Point School District budget for 2526 and the aggreate amount of 19,431,498 be approved as recommended by staff. General fund $10,960. Special revenue fund 4,691,498. Debt service fund $465,000.
015Capital projects fund 2,500,000. Inter agency fund $75,000 and trust and agency fund $740,000. Second. Okay. Do you second it? Okay. All in favor? I Okay, we have a we should do the the tax rate motion too. I move that the permanent tax rate of 4.5152 per 10,000 value be levied in support of the general fund. Second second. All in favor. to talk. I
