ADOPT THE AGENDA
The Board members, including the administration, will review the agenda. The Board must approve any additions, deletions, or corrections.
Minutes
The agenda was approved with the following changes: remove executive session; replace with board discussion of finance.
Board Discussion:
Mr. Cook said he has updated the five-year forecast to factor in reappraisals completed by the Seneca County Auditor. It will generate an additional $1.4 million for the district per year. The district's cash balance is currently $616,000. Mr. Cook clarified that this is not a case of discovering money, but rather, a significant change in the tax base. He suggested the board not go on the ballot this year with a levy, but wait and re-evaluate in a year.
Mr. Cook noted there is not currently a concrete plan because the district is in transition and every expense is being reviewed in an effort to close the gap. Next fall will provide a better handle on the budget from the state.
Mr. Cook said the district needs an IT Plan and a Capital Plan and will do a tighter job of budgeting, focusing on wants versus needs.
Dr. McBride cautioned the board should not wait for a crisis to begin a levy campaign.
