001I was like out of control so stopping because here goes my son, my baby newborn off with Allan on some wagon and I had to go in a tractor. This is why I'm taking the other one. I was so mad though. I can't I don't like to be separated from my kids. It's killing me having them grown up. I just want them by me. Hey Dan. Hey Dan. Dan, you're playing it on the Fourth of July Oakley parade, right? Be more hell. Probably. Okay. And do you think you'll be on because we'll have a trailer. Do you think you'll be on the trailer or do you think you'll be trailing? Then I'd be glad they're like, "Oh, we won't lock his wheels. We'll just let him roll around." Do that. He's trying to justify buying
002a new trailer. I have a almost brand new trailer that's probably four or five feet bigger than that one you have. Does it have a ramp? Yeah. Can we use it? Because I'm looking at buying a new trailer. No, it's it's but it'll have it'll have ramps instead of a No, it's got a the big tailgate that drops in the back. But I could still J. He's got a brand new one. We do public parks in my barnyard. So I guess I just take first I think it's all just a public hearing. Yeah, it's just open. So it's down here. Yeah. You want the wedding order? No. Did you get your Okay. July one, two. I had to get one, two, three, four. Colorado Springs. Oh, okay. You said we're live. All right. You okay
003to start? Is it two tabs? Yep. Yep. Welcome to the uh South S board of education budget hearing. Um for Thursday, June 26th, it is now 6:00 p.m. Do you want me to do this? Um yeah, we'll uh uh we have a full quorum. Um Superintendent Ma will do the uh pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We'll uh we'll dispense with the vision and mission statement tonight since we've already done it once. Um and then uh is there anybody? There was no public comment or request for public comment. There's no one in the audience unless Shelley really wants to talk. All right, so numbers. So there's no
004one here. So we'll uh I don't have to open for public comment on that one, do I? No, it's all just a public hearing. The whole meeting is All right. So we'll turn the time over to uh Adam for agenda item number four. Okay. So, what uh I thought I would do is go over the 2425 final budget. Um kind of show you what the original budget was and what the final budget we we estimate will be. You know, we're still having bills coming in. So, again, we're um making sure we have enough money in the budget to to cover bills that are coming in. So basically, uh, revenues, it looks like they're going to come in a couple, you know, couple hundred,000 dollars more than I projected originally, which is a good thing. It's
005always good to to Yeah. Why? Um, where is it from? That's probably a better question. It's It's more from the state and probably more So I don't know. No, our our actual local revenue is down and so um normally sometimes I don't know what kind of grants we're going to get. Okay. And so we got a big safety grant and so that's part of it. But the grants some of the times the grants are you know I don't know before we apply and I don't apply until November. So again that's probably the the why. Um, our expenditures, uh, I'm I'm recommending or I'm our final budget's right on track with what I originally thought. Now, again, this is just a budget because we're adjusting the budget because the actual will be audited. And so, that's
006what I do for the next three months and then we'll have the final report ready for uh, your September meeting. Yeah. So, that these are just budget numbers. Um, we still have about 19 uh million carryover in fund 10, our school fund, which is a little bit interesting. It it I was a little off. Um, it's kind of hard to project really what the how many fees they're going to recover and how many expenses they're going to have. and and in that carryover money for the high school, one of the things that that they do is they, you know, for rental fees uh for um uh uniforms and those kind of things. So they save that money for a few years and then they'll purchase and so that's why we have carryover and that's why
007it came in higher than expected because I don't I I'm guessing and so that basically um revenues came in at about 73 and they're going to spend a little bit more uh we estimate about $776 thou,000 and most of that is you know uniforms and some of those things that they are saving for that they that they went and purchased this year. How often do they purchase uniforms? Uh, it was on a every four-year cycle. They still following that? Well, I don't know for sure. That's We set that back when I was there, right? They're supposed to be and we got a new AD and so that's one of the things we're going to seems like football had different uniform every year. Yep. Yep. Yep. So, it's one of the things we're going to talk
008to them about. Um, our fund 26 is our charter school levy. That levey is set by the state. They estimated 133,000 134,000 and it came in at 137. That's my estimate based on the revenue collected. And that's not based on how many of our students go to charter school. Yeah, that is. Yeah. And so you're you're going to see uh for the next year's budget. It's it's gone up significantly. So it's like the kids going to men and stuff like that. Yep. So they kind of try to project how many and then they charge you a certain amount for th those kids. So even homeschool can apply for that now, can they? No, that's a different that's the fitsall scholarship. Yeah, one fits all. So we don't that doesn't even come to us. That's just
009done by the state. Uh our education foundation, um of course they didn't have their gayla, so their revenue is down from what was projected and then their expenses are down as well, which is good, but they still spent more than they brought in. They canceled it. Yep. Is that like for scholarships? Probably because they didn't year and stuff. Yes. They said I thought they were postponing it. Yeah, they are. They are. They're postponing it. Uh just they didn't have people signing up, you know, sponsoring it. They're trying to do that in a really short amount of time. Yeah. Okay. Uh they do have $523,000 in carryover. So that's the money that we got in the corpus plus the interest that we've got plus what we have in the bank. So cash kind of So is
010that the amount that when the final thing is done in July worth giving back to giving back to them. Exactly. And you'll see that in the budget. So how do we know that that's going to go to educational stuff because that's what it was written. It's in theou that and in the charter that they they sent us. It'll go to the education pillar. Pillar. But we're not going to be doing any checks and balances on it. Nope. I'm pretty much planning on them following it. Yeah. Right. Our fun 32. This is an interesting one. West has been really busy. I don't know if you've gone up and seen the parking lot and some of the things that's going on around the around the um the the the campus, but um our revenues came in a
011little bit lower and that's our I was a little high on my property tax uh estimates. and then our expenditures came in higher. So, um, but a lot of that is, uh, what he's got, you know, the projects that we approved for FY26, that's this month gap that I've got to pay for stuff that they did this month. And so, um, it's going to come in a little higher, but not significant. We still have 8 point almost 8.8 million in in carryover for that in that fund. They don't restrict our carryovers, do they? No. Not like trust them. you know, and that's one of those we've talked about, you know, future projects, future building that maybe we could use some of this for a bus garage or whatever. So, that's why that's there and we'll
012continue to try to save that. Um, our fund 40 um that's uh our building reserve and that's um we that's basically just interest that you're seeing there. I estimated 260 and came in at 263 which is actually pretty good. Um, and then we got $6.1 million or almost $6.2 million uh remaining carryover there. I did find it funny the uh guy didn't sell us very hard on his program. No, he didn't try hard at all. Well, I maybe I it might have been my comments up front. I don't know. I would still think he would try to sell it, but obviously he's not going to do what we're getting now. So, well, wasn't didn't his child just die or something, too? No, that was the that was the insurance guy. That was the insurance guy.
013Okay. Yeah, that I was a little surprised. But anyway, we're doing well on that. So, yeah. Yeah. The thing I don't like necessarily. So, PTAF the fees are very very very small. When you go with a private, you have to pay a huge amount in fees. And so that's why they have to do so much better and they're so restricted in the things that they can do. Yeah. That it's a risk. It really is. And it's not for much gain in my opinion. Yeah. Right. Risk reward is not there. Yep. Uh next is our food service. And this one I want to talk a little bit more in depth about this one. I estimated about 572. Our revenue is way down this this year. Um some of that is um due to um the liquor
014tax. I don't know if people just stopped drinking or whatever, but um we didn't get as much as I expected and what as much as we got last year. And so that's down and our expenses are up. Food, you you've been to the grocery store, food's up, supplies are up. And so we're spending a significant amount over um over what we're getting. And so the good thing is is we have carryover after next year, right? And so you'll see and and you've probably already re you know reviewed that but we're going to have to raise mill prices next year. We haven't raised them for Tammy says since she's been working she's not raised milk prices. Why why are we waiting? You just you can only do it once a year and so she's going to
015do it this year in the fall. Does that have to go through? No, I I don't think so. I think we just do it. I I mean, if you want, what is she thinking? It's very minimal. Like 10 cents a meal. So, it's not going to give us a lot of money, but there's a there's a there's a limit on how much we can do each year, too. And so, now I I don't even $2 $2 at the high school. What's happening with the breakfasting? Do we have to provide that? Do are we losing money in it? Um, no. I think they reimburseed because that's for um the the free and reduced lunch kids and so I think we're getting reimbursed for those meals from the state. Um I thought middle school was a $150.
016It's cheap and again they haven't they haven't is why don't we well it is restricted. Yeah it's a state a federal law. It's federal but you can only raise so much. So, one of one of the things that we've been we ought to be raising it every year. So, one of the things that we didn't want to start raising it because we were in trouble because we had too much carryover. So, in the the rules for the Fed federal uh money is I could only have four months of expenses in carryover and we've been way over that. And so, I've I've needed that to come down and now So, what's that number? It says 191,300. What does that number need to be? Which which number? Oh, the carryover only be like 60,000 um whatever. So,
017our expenses were 700. So, whatever 9 or uh% 4% four months four well four 12 whatever that is. Yeah. Yeah. So, take that divided by 12 and then do 4%. This has been a problem forever. our our meal prices are 250 for the high school and 225 for middle school. So we we we're going to start bumping that up because if we don't we're going to have to start spending money from fund 10 to re to do to reimburse um the school and this will be in my estimation the last year of carryover that we'll have. So it's so yeah. So we just need to get So if we do a carryover raise it and then next year just we may like wait to continue every year just Yep. Keep raising it. Small increments. Small
018increments. Yep. Does that sound fair? Yep. You have to do I think. Yep. Any questions on all all of our funds for from original budget to final budget? The biggest is into making this lunch. But yeah. Okay. So now I want to go into FY2526 and we can go into in depth what however much you want to do this. Just a reminder that there's 22 um different account codes that make up your budget because you got all your locations, you got all your functions, you've got all your object codes. And so again, I might not have the exact detail, but if you want it, I can get it to you um as soon as we we're done. kind of how I reviewed it. And I think what's key is just anything that's 8% or over
019increase, we just talk about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anything else? I don't think we need to go through the detail on it. So revenue I I've got us coming in just a little bit short. I was way high on property tax last year and so um I I was a lot more conservative this year and and so that's probably going to come in a little bit more. But in order to keep us within what I feel comfortable with, um 20 29 million almost almost 30 million is is what I'm I'm budgeting against. Um for fund 21, um which is our school fund, we're keeping it at the 703 uh,000 for this next year. Uh remember, there's a lot of fees that they can't charge now, so we're hoping that'll so we'll spend less this next
020year. Our fund 26 was your our ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch charter school pass through. You can see it went from 137 to 203 and that means that we'll probably have more kids going to to charter schools and that's their projection there. Again, they set that rate. We don't have any say we don't even get the money. What's that? How many kids go to charter from our district? I I don't have that number off the top of my head. So that's that's what they use though as a basis. 50 is it? No, it's more than that. It's over a hundred. It's been too long since I I don't want to give you a
021guess because we had 100 kids going to charter school. Mhm. Oh, yeah. That tells me we're not doing a good enough job at our school or they're just looking for the specialized like there's some that go to the outdoors type winter. Yes. Winter soldier. Yeah. They want the kids outside winter sports. Mo most of most of the kids that go to the charters are in the elementary. Yep. And then they come back. That's why we're we're really working hard to get our academics up so that we can say come here not there because of this when we've talked to parents that's one of the concerns was that academics were not as high as what they would like them to be. So, we're and and I think in this budget too, we put $175,000 to um
022strategic goal two, which is instruction. Um and that's to do the uh the assessment. And you should have read that in your uh the assessment project. And so that's in there as well, which gives the teachers the ability and and time to go in and and and do their assessment so that we start having more data so that we can really track where we're deficient, where we we really need to put some more emphasis. And I think this is a great start. We've got the the systems in place now, too. So, I think it's going to be really good. Um, let's see. fund 27. You're going to see um that we have zero um zero. Basically, we're going to give them all the money and and be done with them. So, sorry that that was
023sounded harsh that we're giving that to the Cameas Valley Foundation and they're going to do all the stuff and we won't have to track them anymore, but it's money they raise so it's not like we're giving them anything, right? fund 32, our capital project fund, which is um uh that's just local property tax. Uh I think it's going to come go up about $200,000 with um with new growth. And so that's why that's where it's at. Our building um interest rates are coming down. Uh and so this is just pure interest for fund 40 building reserve. And so I I estimate that we're going to get about $200,000 in in interest next year. Yeah. They seen two cuts this year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um fund 49 again I think uh we're going to be right
024around the 520 mark this next year. And so um again that's we've talked about that one. Now I want to talk a little bit about our expenses. So that was all revenue. our expenses this year. Um, in fund 10, um, we're budgeting, um, five, uh, two two9 million, well, basically 30 million. And that's about a 1 and a.5% change. And basically what I've done is is is you'll see as you look at the numbers, if you reme if you recall last year, I put a lot of money into building maintenance. And so I've cut that number down significantly and that's helped keep that pretty static, you know, with the with the 4% raises with the the increase in in um healthcare that's covered a lot of that. Does that include utilities in that? Yes. Yep.
025Yep. And utilities are going up. So we're we're paying more for electricity than we have. What's that? The lights off. Yeah. Exactly. Did we ever do a contract for the We did. So you So it's locked in. We're locked in for a year. Yep. That way it's predictable. Yeah. Thank goodness. That's for natural gas. Yeah. Natural gas. Wasn't it like 120,000 like one month? 200 something. It was great until we It's like knocked out all the savings we'd had previously. Uh let's see. Fund 21. Uh again, we're we're selecting $73,000 there. That's down from what they spent, but we're hoping to get in line more with the revenue that they're receiving. Fund 26, you can see it went up 47 and a half%. Um, but that's set by the state. Our education foundation, um, again,
026I'm going to transfer all their assets to, uh, the Cameas Valley Foundation. And so that's why you're seeing that number there. And that was probably a little high, but I went high just in case they had a good gayla and brought in a lot of money. Um, fund 32, uh, again, we're going to try to stay within our revenue projection, which is 5,800,000. Um, and that with all the money that we are doing for this year, I think we're going to be fine next year because we've we've got like the parking lot is going to be like 85%. Weren't we'd be 500,000 that we'd have to borrow? Yeah. Well, out of savings. Yeah. And it actually went up a little bit if you remember up here. So if we go to fund 32, you can
027see that uh we I projected 5.9 and it's really going to come in I think about 6.2 6.1. So we're going to spend a little bit more this year, but we're going to spend next less next year. And it'll give us some flexibility for whatever projects we come up with, which we're working through right now for you next year. Okay, where did we get to fund 32? Fund 40, uh building reserve. We're not going to spend any money out of that. That's just our That's just our reserves for future building. And then you can see our food service. I'm hoping they're well, I'm projecting that they're going to come down. We've done a a few things. We've shortened some contracts, um some contracted days. So, I'm hoping that'll bring us down. Uh let's see. And
028and I' we've cut some part-time staff. We will. So, trying to bring that down a little bit. What's the difference between food service and food? What's that? What's the difference between uh 40? Oh, food service and food where same. It's just split page page. Oh, yeah. It's just a That's a split. It just did the split. Same deal. It's the same thing. It's a page break. Yeah. or um because there's a table above that has food service 520,000. It is food service. Yeah, that's revenue. Oh, okay. So, if you look at that, that's Oh, those are expenses. And these are expenses. Okay. It might be better to put it all together. I don't know. We'll we'll play with the And it just says food visit. HR people just go down. Scroll down a little and
029then services down. Okay, I'm with you. Yeah. Yeah. Numbers aren't my friend. Melissa does a budget. So, what what I wanted to do is go a little bit more in depth of um our revenue for fund 10. Uh I'm projecting really a no change. Um that should really probably go up a little bit due to growth, but to be safe. Um that's where I'm at. Uh total state is going to go down because the more revenue we get from the local, the less we get from the state. And we're seeing that right now. I just got a bill for almost $800,000 I have to pay back to the state this year because we got more property tax than they estimated. So that's fun to do a day before I had to have my budget in
030budget for you guys. So and there's I mean there's no loop. Is that what Parks and ends up having to do all the time? Yep. And we're just eating into more programs. So, they're taking all of our nests, all of our K12, uh they're taking um and and now they're going into class size reduction and at risk. So, we just won't get as much money from the state, but it's being replaced because we're getting more local funding. Uh in and then this is just a breakdown for all of the, you know, instruction support services. Um, and I if you have questions on these, I I don't know that I want to go into each one of those. I did last year. If you want me to, I will. But you can kind of see the
031percentage of increase. Um, the operations, remember I talked about the the the money I gave to the schools for additional maintenance. That's why you're seeing a negative 9.2% there because I'm not giving them as much money on the on the maintenance side. and that was to do like carpeting and paint and and those little projects that just make our buildings better. So, but that's where I'm paying for the raises and for the the medical. Uh, and then one thing I do want to mention is in our student transportation, you can see it went up 14.2%. And really, um, I don't know if you know, but Joe Kennedington, who was I was just giving a stipen to run that department, is now the second in charge up here in IT. And therefore, I'm going to have
032to hire that position. And what we're doing is we're collapsing the secretary position and making a full-time transportation person. It will be good. Yeah. that can just focus 100% because we just can't continue to have this kind of turnover. Yeah. I remember the day where your position did all that. I know. I know. I don't know how they did it to be honest. Well, they didn't have all of the Our maintenance person's doing good though, right? The one we hired. Yeah. Doing really good. Actually, Kip hired somebody to help him, but Kip wouldn't hire my brother or somebody. He's on the school board. Yeah. And you can see on this 3,300 community services one, that's the rec center line item. And so I'm keeping them pretty flat. Yeah. And then the fun 32, I talked
033a little bit about revenue. We've already talked that. Um that 250 is the remaining amount that we have in our safety grant that we'll continue to spend. And then our expenses are basically um you know our our projects that you've already approved. So Oh, we look good. Any questions? That was really down and dirty and fast, but No, you did a great job. Is that is that better as far as going through it a little bit? I mean, overall, you look at it, it's it's expenditures are up 1.5% and revenues up 3.3. Yeah. I mean, it just balances out very nicely. It's I think that I adding the percentages helped. Yeah, because then you didn't focus on stuff that didn't didn't matter. Did not matter. Yeah. What I hear maybe what I can do next
034time is is show the revenue and the expenses together. So you don't have to I don't know. We you guys can tell it's fine. No, I think I like it this way. This is better than the summary we tried last year. So I like it. Yeah. Okay. you have the percentage and there's just not a lot of change. So, I don't know what's there to talk about unless you're doing massive changes. Yeah. One one thing just so you're aware, we did lose one FTE for teachers this year because our enrollment's going down. And so, the elementary school lost a teacher. The middle school lost lost a teacher, but the high school picked up a teacher because that big class, right? Where where do they decide where that teacher? I think they did a PE PE
035FTE for to concentrate on weights at the high school. And they're going to do seven classes of weights, I think. No, I mean, who what did we lose? We lost an English. We lost uh elementary teacher, I think fourth grade. And then um we lost uh somebody didn't return. We just didn't position through attrition. It's all through attrition. We lost an English teacher at the middle school. Correct. Yeah, we did. Right. So, do we have enough English now at the middle school? Yeah. Yeah. Yep. So, we just lost to attrition. We didn't let anybody go. But we're hiring just Lory's replacement, right? Is that in addition to that? That's just a replacement. It's accounted for. Yeah. So, another fourth grade teacher left. They they did a one-year contract with someone and didn't renew it. Any
036other questions for Adam? I think we're in a good good spot. Okay. We're we're in a much better spot than a lot of the larger districts, especially on the Wasatch front there. Both Park City and Los Angeles. Park City. Yeah, that's true. Park City is a big heartburn. Yeah, they've had to let a lot of people go. Yeah. So, um, if there's no other questions, uh, we'll move on to the, uh, uh, action items on the agenda. So, first on the agenda is the FY 2425 final budget. Now, did we need to do the superintendent items first or No, we we got to close the uh, budget and then we'll open it up for that. Perfect. So, um, so you're moving to number four. 4 A is where we're at. Is it 5 A? Well,
037four. 4 A. Uh, I don't know. Whatever it is, it's You show five, but on mine it's four. Four on, too. Okay. So, 4. So, we're looking for a motion. I move to approve the FY 2425 final budget. All right. We have a motion. Looking for a second. I'll second it. Have a motion and second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Unanimous. All right. Uh B, FY2526 original budget. Any questions? If not, I'll entertain a motion. I move to approve the FY 2526 original budget. All right, we have a motion. Looking for a second. A second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor? Any opposed? It's unanimous. Thank you. All right. Uh number C, FY uh 2526 property tax rate. Um any questions on this? All right, we'll looking to entertain a
038motion. I move to approve the FY 2526 property tax rate. All right, we have a motion. Look for a second. I'll second it. We have a motion and a second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? All right, thank you. Um, any other questions before we close uh uh look uh uh have a motion to close the uh budget hearing. All right. I'll entertain a motion to uh close the budget hearing and open a regular session. I'll move to close the budget hearing and open a regular session for an information item. All right, we have a motion looking for a second. Second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? None opposed to unanimous. All right, superintendent. All right, just real quick. Um, normally we'd save the procedural update for our
039next board meeting, but because registration and and that happens before our next board meeting, uh, I just needed to bring a procedural update to you, uh, a so that it's been brought to you, but b so that it's been put out into the, uh, Ethernet and the rest of the world. Um, and it specifically deals with um, uh, enrollment. The the state changed the law uh, last year. Um, they had a toileting requirement for kindergarten and they've removed the kindergarten piece from that. Now it's all students have to be potty trained to attend schools and we have to have a a policy procedure around that. um unless there's a something in an IEP or a 504 that would prohibit or a healthcare plan that would prevent them from being able to to meet that. Um
040which we do have students obviously um that that do will need that exception. But um and so I like I said, I wanted to make sure that um that was put out there uh as quickly and early as possible so that we could get that into the new enrollment. We got three months to get them body trained. Yeah. There you go. And then uh as well as just um the confirmation letter that uh the state requires us to have for you know potty training. All right.
