MID-YEAR<br />

ADJUSTMENTS<br />

completed in December 2007, and actual enrollment in January 2008.<br />

Our review results in an increase to revenues in <strong>the</strong> General Fund –<br />

Operating/Transportation <strong>of</strong> $3,711,410, (see attached for detailed<br />

sheets.)<br />

Ms. Benusa stated that during 2007-2008, special education revenue<br />

is calculated using current expenditures ra<strong>the</strong>r than a two-year lag.<br />

However, at this time <strong>the</strong> Special <strong>Education</strong> Excess Cost Revenue<br />

projection model from <strong>the</strong> Minnesota Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> has<br />

yet to be made available to districts for 2007-2008.<br />

We reviewed all significant General Fund operating expenditure<br />

areas, noting many small increases and decreases to individual<br />

accounts.<br />

Salaries $ 733,439<br />

Benefits $ 1,397,175<br />

Purchased services ($1,573,987)<br />

Supplies and o<strong>the</strong>r exp. ($1,128,677)<br />

Total decrease in exp. ($ 572,050)<br />

Overall, our General Fund Operating/Transportation Mid-Year<br />

Budget Amendment results in an increase <strong>of</strong> $3,711,410 in revenues<br />

or 1.90% and a decrease <strong>of</strong> ($572,050) in expenditures or (0.27%)<br />

from our adopted budget for 2007-2008. It is important to remember<br />

that <strong>the</strong> amended 2007-2008 budget forms <strong>the</strong> basis for <strong>the</strong> 2008-<br />

2009 budget projection.<br />

The Food Service revenue budget will be increased $122,000 and <strong>the</strong><br />

expenditure budget will be decreased by ($100,500) for a net positive<br />

change <strong>of</strong> $222,500. Revenues are being increased mainly due to <strong>the</strong><br />

federal rate changing by 4%. Expenditures are being decreased<br />

mainly for food and supplies, which partially <strong>of</strong>fset a 28% increase in<br />

<strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> milk.<br />

The Community <strong>Education</strong> expenditure increased by $109,120 due to<br />

increased benefit costs and purchased services needs for various<br />

community education programming needs.<br />

The Capital Expenditure revenue budget for revenues will be<br />

increased $961,058 at mid-year, due mainly to one time increase in<br />

technology aid <strong>of</strong> $40 per Adjusted Marginal Cost Pupil Unit<br />

(AMCPU) for 2007-08. This amount will be increased to $55 per<br />

AMCPU for 2008-09, but is not projected to occur in 2009-2010<br />

unless legislation is approved in <strong>the</strong> next biennium. The expenditure<br />

budget for Legacy is being increased by $62,500, due to actual<br />

projects being more than current budget capacity for bus loops and<br />

security cameras.
