Next item is the placement of the tenative budget. Placement of the tenative 2025 26 budget on open display and the establishment of
005the public hearing date. >> All righty. It's that time of year again. And what I've put before you tonight is a tenative budget. So it's kind of a smaller version of what you usually see. But just to give you a recap or a little bit of an overview of it, the budget was prepared and um utilizing the agreed upon assumptions that we talked about last December. It's balanced budget. the exception of the abatement capital spending. Our EAB increased about 10 12% that's in accordance with the county assessor. Uh our levy continues to increase in tax rate from 6.12% to 5.69. Again, that's based on approval of last December. Um local revenue collection rate of 99% student enrollment estimated about 6,150. Our EVF, our state funds, we're estimating that they'll remain flat in this budget. you
006know, not too much of an increase over last year and our health insurance premiums only 36% in the budget. So, that's just the the assumptions. Some of the things I would just at least like to call your attention. One of my favorite schedules to look at is there's the all funds combined chart and that's on page 13. Um, what it does, it kind of gives you a look at what the overall budget is. So, if you look at the total revenue budget, you can see that for all the funds, our total revenue is 124.6 million. with 65.7% of that coming from local funds, 29.4 from state funds and 4.9 from federal and there's a slight change in the mix from last year due to the reduction in the federal grants that we're receiving. Just just
007a slight change. The total expense budget um again for all funds together is 144 million. The vast majority of that 68.7% is going towards salaries and benefits. The remaining 16.2% 2% covers our purchase services, supplies, utilities, other things. And then the one item we've done, you'll see a 15.1% for our debt service. In this budget year is the second big payment for our debt payments. Once we get through this, we'll get down to some more reasonable debt service. We won't even be below the amount that we typically pay. So, um, this is the last big hurdle to cover for the debt. So, that that's a good thing. Um, the other schedule that I really like is page 14, the next page, which is kind of a long spreadsheet that shows you the budget fund by
008fund. And it's really I prefer that throughout the year because it just gives you a good idea as far as what our budget is. And it even includes like the activity funds. Um, just some highlights in the ED fund, you'll see that when you look down there, you're going to see a large large uh transfer and that will be 13.83 million that will help cover the debt service fund. We talked about this when we set up the abatements last year, but again this is the budget making that happen. Um the four sub self sub funds the ad fun service brands kids club and challenger are all balanced with revenues actually you flow slightly above expenses. So that's a good thing. The operation and maintenance fund or the buildings fund is balanced budget. Revenues equal expenses.
009The debt service fund that fund 30 is where you'll see the big payment coming out. That's 22,448200 and that'll be paid out in two pieces. The the smallest piece about a million4 was paid out in July and we'll pay out the remaining 21 million in January. So, but the way that's going to be paid for is we'll have that 13.8 million come from the ed fund. We'll have um some money that we've levied some dollars that we levy about 8 million and then we'll also have about 250,000 from the development developer impact fees. So, have that covered. um transportation fund. If you look over at fun, you'll see that we have a slight um our revenues are slightly less than our expenses, but that's not atypical for what we usually do. We typically try to,
010you know, chop down on their fund balance a little bit every year. And you'll see some of that, about a half million of that is for capital spending. So again, not unusual for us for the transportation fund. The funds next to that, funds 1551, are for our IMRF and our social security, Medicare expenses. um developer impacting fund as I mentioned has about a $250,000 fund balance we will use that as part of the debt payment and potentially because of additional development stock that's starting to happen we may see some uh revenues come in probably not this year maybe next year um again next over is our working cash fund you'll see that that's pretty much kind of almost like our savings account it's a little bit of a cushion for us and then finally the
011a couple bigger ones the to immunity fund that's um that is the fund that we pay have our big click invoice. You guys approved that back in June, but it covers all of our all of our insurance except health insurance. So, it covers workers comp, personal property, liability, the whole thing. So, that's why you see a big chunk out of there. And it's running negative because we will pay that as we get our uh le and that's again not unusual cuz we have to pay the entire amount in June. And then finally, you'll see the life safety fund which is fund 90. Um we're using that to pay off the tennis courts and the track. So um in general just overall our revenues are up about 2.35% over last year's budget and primarily due to
012tax receipts but that's really driven by EA increasing rather than the rate. And then we'll have a little bit of an increase on our state funds. We're we're now classified as a tier 2 district which may be a little bit less but still we're actually going to end up paying a little bit more than we did last year about half million. Um, any questions? I know I gave a lot of information really fast. >> Does anybody have any questions or concerns for Miss Dylan regarding the tenative budget? Anything? Well, I'm sure that she will be more than willing to discuss it with you if you want to call her if you have a question does come up. So this is budget isn't done yet. So that's where we are. Uh we are ready if anyone
013is ready there is to suggest a motion on page 230 of our material move to approve the tenative 2025 2026 budget and way reading and approve the resolution to establish the budget hearing date and place the tenative budget on public display.
