Workshop Items
2. Review 2009-10 Tentative Budget for all Funds

Minutes: 

Dr. Copeland distributed the 2009-2010 Tentative Budget based on current information.  The current economic circumstances present a significant challenge in developing the budget.  He reiterated the requirement of a 3% unreserved general fund balance. The following topics were addressed: TRIM and budgeting timelines, new ARRA Program funds 431 and 432,  loss of Lottery funds for 2009-2010 and continuing drop in categoricals.  

The analysis shows total funds available for 2009-2010 in Fund 100 (General Fund) as $260,227,618.  Considering the estimated uses of revenue, the unreserved fund balance as of June 30, 2010 is estimated at $9,995,059.  The majority of the presentation covered Fund 100 due to over 86% of the expenditures being salaries and benefits.

Wimberly Brackett, Director of Food and Nutrition Services, shared cost reduction and cost control issues that are in place for the 2009-2010 school year with no increase in meal prices.

Roni Campbell, Accounting Coordinator, briefly explained the new Special Revenue Funds 431 (State Fiscal Stabilization Fund) and 432 (American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Fund).

Dr. Copeland also reviewed Fund 200 - Debt Service, Fund 420 - Special Revenue Fund and Fund 711 - Internal Service Fund.
