Board Finance Committee Trustee Kunde gave the following reported for Trustee Lindley from the March 5, 2012 Board Finance Committee meeting: •The Board Finance Committee (Trustees Lindley, Call, Kunde), joined by President Chong, Vice President of Business Services, Doug Roberts, and Kate Jolley, Director of Fiscal Services received a document on the “District Budget Framework.” Doug Roberts explained this new document is intended to be a companion piece to the District’s mission statement and initiatives. The Budget Framework will serve to contextualize the broad parameters under which the District’s planning and budgeting will take place. •The second item of discussion was the 2012-13 budget. Doug Roberts informed the Committee that current projections of the Unrestricted General Fund show that the District has a $9.5 Million budgetary gap (prior to any action taken by the District). This situation is caused by 2011-12 concessions that sunset as of June 30, 2012, expenditure increases that will occur for 2012-13, and a potential $4.6 Million loss should the Governor’s tax initiative fail, in November 2012, and “triggered cuts” are enacted. •The Committee asked several questions regarding some of the presentation detail, and discussion on possible solutions (including revenue enhancements) involved all that were present. The discussion concluded with the recognition that it would take a combination of cost reductions, employee concessions, and use of fund balance to get the District through the up-coming year. C.
