SUMMARY:  A copy of the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2007-08 is attached as Exhibit 1-A.  Proposed expenditures are $8,504,500 and proposed revenues are $8,685,300.  This would result in an increase of $180,800 to the general operating reserve.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends that the Board discuss the proposed Fiscal Year 2007-08 Budget and give general direction to staff.  No formal action should be taken.

 

BACKGROUND:  For several years prior to fiscal year 2005-06, District budgets had been balanced by using large amounts of previously accumulated reserves.  At the District’s strategic planning session on September 29, 2004, staff recommended that a balanced budget be prepared for fiscal year 2005-2006 using a combination of revenue and expenditure adjustments and a eliminating the use of reserve funds.  At the January 19, 2005 budget workshop, the Board adopted an eight part strategy for balancing the 2005-2006 budget.  The proposed Fiscal Year 2007-08 Budget was prepared consistent with that strategy, resulting in a balanced budget for the 3rd consecutive year.
