District to Commit $8.9M from Fund Balance
The board will vote to amend its committed fund balance, designating $3.7M for future construction and nearly $5.2M for a 120-day operating reserve. This is a significant fiscal action that formalizes the district’s long-term financial priorities and locks up a large portion of its reserves.
Policy Use
WATCH: Item 8.D commits a significant portion of the fund balance. Monitor the district’s overall budget and tax rate proposals in light of this large reserve commitment.
