At the end of March, wewere at $3.8 million. In April (on April 1 0 1 h) we'll get an influx of property tax dollars. Thiswill boost our cash balance back up. We'll be looking good for the next couple ofmonths.to Actua/sMr. Rodrigue said at the bottom of the report you'll see 61.9%. At the top is the percentageof where we should be, which is at 66.67%, which is good. Last year at this time wewere at 62.8%. As we're getting close to the end of the fiscal year and are analyzing ouractual expenditures, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up 2 to 2.5% under budget. This isgood because we started with a budgeted deficit of $850,000. We're trying to get asclose as we can to break even, or even end the year in the black. Mrs. Pratt asked whatthat percentage is in dollars. Mr. Rodrigue said 1% is about $400,000, so 2% would beabout $800,000. 2.5% would equate to about $1 million.7.1 APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD'S REGULAR MEETING HELDMARCH 13, 2013It was moved by Mr. Kendall Pierson, seconded by Mr. Robert Steinacher, and carriedTO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD'S REGULAR MEETING HELD MARCH13, 2013. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.Mr. Wyse said the job description for Project Coordinator- Senior in Item 8.2 was revised,and corrected pages have been provided.Mr. Swendiman called on Dr. Ralph Perrin to speak to Item 8.1.Dr. Perrin said he would like to recognize Robert Soffian on 27 years of service, andthanked Scott Swendiman for mentioning the play. It was his swan song. For over 27years, Robert has impacted the community in a very heavy way. He filled his classeswith large audiences, and packed his Humanities through the Film classes term afterterm. He has taught thousands of students. We put in the Board agenda that he directedover 50 different plays, but it was closer to over 75 plays in those 27 years. Robertselected plays on purpose to challenge his students in their acting careers. Mr.Swendiman mentioned the skill of the actors. Robert has an uncanny ability to direct thestudents to pull the acting ability out of them, and he's had quite a career here. Dr. Perrinsaid he wanted to recognize those years of service before the Board.Mr. Wyse said he echoes that. He couldn't say it any better than Dr. Perrin. Eventhough Robert sometimes likes to push the envelope, he's a wonderful person to speakwith and to talk about ideas with, and his excitement is apparent when talking about hisstudents. Mrs. Pratt said Robert lives near her, and he's an interesting recruiter. He wasable to recruit her entire family to work on costumes for a whole summer. It was reallyfun, and they did it several times. It was moms and dads and kids, and it was kind of amiracle he was able to talk people into that.
