I'M JUST I'M I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION CONNECTION TO THAT.
SO THE SCHOOL, UM, SKIVI IS WHO WE GO THROUGH FOR, UM, INSURANCE.
AND WITH THAT, THE SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION FOR INSURANCE TRUST, I THINK THAT IT MADE THE VENDOR NAME GOT CUT OFF THERE.
UM, AND WE PAY PREMIUMS TO THEM FOR POLICIES AND SERVICES.
AND WITH THAT, WITH HILTON HEAD ON MIDDLE SCHOOL, IT LOOKS AS IF THE RISK MANAGER, UM, OR IF THE PROJECT MANAGER MAY HAVE REQUESTED ADDITIONAL PREMIUMS FOR THAT SPECIFIC PART, WE CAN FIND OUT.
IT MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN CUT OFF THERE OF, OF WHAT IT IS.
WE DO GET SOME ADDITIONAL BENEFITS THROUGH THEM.
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT ONE WAS FOR.
LET'S GO DOWN SCENARIO LEARNING ONLINE TRAINING.

SO FRAUDULENT DIS DISPUTE CHARGES, BUT MAY NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE ALL FRAUDULENT.
LIKE THE HOME DEPOT WASN'T UNAUTHORIZED ONE, BUT THE APRON OUTFITS IN MORRISONS LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A CLAIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE REFUND STILL PENDING.
UM, AND THAT THOSE WERE LEGITIMATE PURCHASES, BUT THE GOODS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.
SO THEN WE GO AND DISPUTE, BUT HOWEVER, THE WHOLE DEFECT DOES LOOK LIKE TO BE AN UNAUTHORIZE CHARGE AND YES, WE WOULD HAVE CLAIMS IN WITH THEM TO GET THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.
UM, ANY COMMENTS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS REPORT FROM MEMBERS DR.
DO I HEAR A MOTION TO, UH, HAVE THIS REPORT PUT IN A CONSENT AGENDA AT THE NEXT, UH, BOARD MEETING? SO MOVED, IT'S BEEN MOVED SECOND TO PUT THIS, NOT TO BE TRANSPARENCY REPORT INTO THE CONSENT AGENDA AT OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING ALL THOSE IN FAVORS BY SAYING IKY MOTIONS, BOARD, MONTHLY BUDGET IS THE NEXT ONE
[00:45:01]
AND WE HAVEN'T SPENT MUCH MONEY.YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS EARL THAT TOLD ME, I, I ASK ABOUT THE COUNTY COUNCIL HAS TAKEN THEM MONTHLY, THE MEETING STIPENDS AND PUT IT INTO THE, THE REGULAR PAY.
AND SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BILL FOR EACH MEETING AND SO ON, THEY JUST, THEY JUST ROLLED IT OVER, UM, ANY INTEREST IN EXPLORING THAT FOR THIS, UH, BOARD.
I, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT, UM, WORKS.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE, THE STIPEND THAT IS ALLOCATED TYPICALLY FOR THE MEETINGS AND, OR TRAVEL IS JUST ROLLED INTO WHAT THE ANNUAL SALARY IS? CUZ I KNOW THAT, UM, REVIEWING THESE YEAR OVER YEAR AND, AND MONTH OVER MONTH THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME MONTHS AND SOME YEARS WE DON'T EXPEND THAT THE FULL AMOUNT.
SO I'D BE HESITANT TO SAY LET'S TAKE THE FULL AMOUNT AND JUST ROLL IT INTO THE SALARY.
I'M JUST THINKING FOR EASE OF, OF UH, MANAGEMENT HANDS UP.
UM, THERE WAS SOME PUBLIC BLOWBACK WHEN COUNTY COUNCIL DID THAT.
WHAT DID THEY WENT THROUGH AND KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IT STARTED OFF BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE GETTING OVERPAID, THEY WERE GOING OVER THEIR CAP.
SO THE SOLUTION, THE SOLUTION WAS TO LOOK AT THE AVERAGE AND ROLL IT INTO THE BASE SALARY.
AND THERE WAS, THERE WAS SOME POLITICAL BLOWBACK AND THE STIPEND ORIGINALLY WAS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME TO COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
SO IF YOU ROLL IT INTO THE BASE, YOU, YOU LOSE THAT, UM, INCENTIVE.
SO I'M NOT SURE THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
UM, IS IT, IS IT ACCURATE THAT ANY MONEY THAT'S REMAINING IN THIS, IN THE BOARD'S BUDGET AT THE END OF THE YEAR GOES, UM, ROLLED IN? WHERE IS IT ROLLED INTO, I GUESS I JUST WANNA GET CLARIFICATION OF THAT.
CAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE IS A GOOD BIT EVERY YEAR, AT LEAST I AT LEAST I THOUGHT THERE WAS, UNLESS IT'S BEEN PUT SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE MONEY AT THE END OF THE YEAR, IF THERE'S REMAINING MONEY FROM THE TRAVEL STIPEND OR THE MEETING STIPENDS, IT ROLLS INTO THE FUND BALANCE UNLESS THE BOARD AUTHORIZES SOME ALTERNATIVE USE OF THOSE FUNDS.
UM, I THINK WE HAVE, UH, THERE MAY BEEN A NEED FOR RECLASSIFYING LEGAL SERVICES IN THE PAST TO ANOTHER CATEGORY, BUT, UM, FOR THE MOST PART, IT JUST ROLLS INTO THE FUND BALANCE.
ANY, ANY, UH, QUESTIONS ON THE BOARD BUDGET? DO I HEAR A MOTION TO PUT THE MONTHLY BOARD BUDGET INTO CONSENT AGENDA? SECOND, MOVE IN SECOND TO MOVE THE BOARD MONTHLY BUDGET, ENTER THE CONSENT AGENDA.
OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFIED BY SAYING AYE.
WE'RE NOW AT THE FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT, RIGHT? MS. CROSBY, SIR.
UM, IF I MAY, IF WE CAN JUST GO TO THE FIRST PAGE WITH THE, THE NUMBERS, UM, THAT WE CHART WITH, UH, I THINK IT HAS FOUR COLUMNS OF NUMBERS.
SO BASICALLY, UH, THESE ARE THE PRELIMINARY YEAR END AS OF JUNE 30TH, 2022 FINANCIAL REPORTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER.
UH, I DO WANNA REITERATE YOUR PRELIMINARY BECAUSE ALL OF OUR INFORMATION IS NOT IN YET.
UH, WE STILL ARE MAKING SOME FINAL ENTRIES, UH, WITH REGARD TO DELINQUENT TAXES, UH, INTEREST INCOME, WHICH THOSE TWO PIECES OF INFORMATION COME FROM THE COUNTY, AS WELL AS WE'RE MAKING SOME ENTRIES, UH, FINAL RECONCILIATIONS, UM, WITH THE COUNTY AND WITH THE STATE AND, AND BALANCING ALL OF OUR ACCOUNTS.
[00:50:01]
THERE ARE MAYBE SOME RELATIVELY MINIMAL, UH, IMMATERIAL, UH, CHANGES THAT WILL BE MADE TO THESE, UH, WHEN YOU SEE THE FINAL REPORT.SO THERE ARE SOME ESTIMATES IN THIS REPORT BASED ON, UM, WHAT WE BELIEVE WILL RECEIVE, UM, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.
UM, THE TRIAL BALANCE IS, UM, THE, THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION IS DUE TO THE AUDITORS BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
UM, SO WE DO EXPECT TO HAVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THROUGH THAT DATE.
AND THEN WE COULD HAVE A FEW ENTRIES AFTER THAT'S GIVEN TO THE AUDITORS, BUT WE TRY TO KEEP THAT TO A MINIMUM.
SO BASICALLY LOCAL TAX REVENUE IS THE REAL HIGHLIGHT OF THIS REPORT.
UM, TAX REVENUES THIS YEAR WERE, UH, CAME IN OVER BUDGET, WHICH, UH, I IS BENEFICIAL TO THE DISTRICT.
UM, SO UNEXPECTED, WE DID, UH, INCLUDE, UM, PROJECTIONS, EXCUSE ME, SORRY.
UM, WE DID PROJECT, UM, UM, GROWTH IN THE VALUE OF THE MILL, BUT IT EXCEEDED OUR PROJECTIONS.
SO, UM, WITH TOTAL LOCAL REVENUES, UH, WITH TOTAL LOCAL REVENUES, WE'RE EXPECTING 4.2 MILLION OF BUDGET.
UM, AND SO, UH, THAT IS, UH, ALL GOING TO BE PLACED INTO THE FUND BALANCE.
IN ADDITION, UH, WE HAD STATE REVENUES, UM, AND I'M LOOKING IN THE FAR RIGHT HAND COLUMN, UH, TOTAL STATE REVENUES OF 290, 2000 8 0 5.
THAT'S HOW MUCH WE'RE EXCEEDING THE BUDGET OF REVENUES.
WE WERE SHORT LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, WE WERE SHORT IN SOME AREAS OVER IN OTHERS.
THOSE ARE PROJECTIONS THAT COME FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ED.
UM, AND SO WE ARE, UH, SO ABOUT 300 ADDITIONAL THOUSAND THERE AND THEN ADDITIONAL STATE REVENUE OF 595,000.
SO ALL IN ALL, UH, STATE, UH, REVENUES FOR THE GENERAL FUND ARE EXCEEDING THE BUDGET BY 5 MILLION, ABOUT ONE, 5.1 MILLION, ALL WHICH WILL GO TO THE FUND BALANCE.
SO, UM, AS WE MOVE INTO THE NEXT PAGE, YOU'RE GONNA SEE EXPENDITURES THERE AS WELL.
IT JUST REITERATES WHAT WE JUST DISCUSSED, BUT, UH, OUR EXPENDITURES WE ARE EXPECTED TO, UH, COME UNDER SPEND, UH, OUR TOTAL BUDGET IS 200 4274, UH, 0.2 MILLION.
WE EXPECT TO UNDERSPEND BY $750,000.
SO THERE COULD BE A FEW CHANGES THERE, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THAT WILL BE THE FINAL NUMBER.
SO WHAT WE PROJECT IS THAT WE WILL ADD 5.8 MILLION TO THE FUND BALANCE THIS YEAR, UH, WHICH WILL BRING US TO AN 18.9% FUND BALANCE.
UM, SO WE WILL SPEND 99.7% OF BUDGET.
SO, UM, ONE LAST PAGE, I WANNA BRING A HIGH HIGHLIGHT.
UM, THIS LAST PAGE IS ALL FUNDS OF THE DISTRICT.
SO YOU SEE THE GENERAL FUND AND THE FAR LEFT COLUMN, THAT'S THE INFORMATION THAT WE JUST LOOKED OVER.
UH, I WANNA HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THE OTHERS ARE RELATIVELY NORMAL.
WE WITH EXPECTATIONS OF, UM, UH, WITHIN RANGE FOOD SERVICE FUND, UH, HAS ANOTHER GOOD YEAR AND HAS GROWN ANOTHER 3.3 MILLION TO A FUND BALANCE OF EIGHT AND A HALF.
UH, THAT IS A VERY FEDERALLY RESTRICT AND STATE RESTRICTED FUND.
SO WE HAVE A, A SPEND DOWN PLAN THAT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE STATE.
WE WORKED ON THAT LAST YEAR AND WE'RE CONTINUING SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS DUE TO DELAYS IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
SOME OF THE, UH, KITCHEN EQUIPMENT THAT WE'VE ORDERED IS, IS COMING IN AND, AND JUST, JUST ARRIVING OR, OR JUST BEING, UM, SEEING SOME SIGNIFICANT DELAYS IN THOSE AREAS.
UM, SO WE DID FAST TRACK, A LOT OF KITCHEN EQUIPMENT RE REPLACEMENTS AND WITH THOSE DOLLARS, BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO, UH, DO EVEN MORE WITH THAT MONEY.
SO, UH, IN TERMS OF EQUIPMENT.
SO WITH THAT, UM, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU ALL FOR ANY QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, MR. CAMPBELL.
[00:55:01]
DR.DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UM, CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE, WHAT YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT THE SPEND DOWN PLAN AND, UM, BASICALLY THE REASON FOR THAT, JUST ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THAT FOR ME.
UM, SO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAS THE NUTRITION OFFICE HAS A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU CAN ONLY HOLD INTO IN YOUR FUND BALANCE AND THE FOOD SERVICE FUND.
UM, I BELIEVE IT'S 30 DAYS OF OPERATIONS IN YOUR FUND BALANCE.
AND SO ANY TIME YOU EXCEED THAT, YOU MUST PROVIDE A PLAN TO OF ACTION TO SPEND DOWN THOSE EXCESS FUNDS.
AND, UM, AND IT MUST BE IN THE FORM OF EQUIPMENT OR SUPPLIES OR LABOR.
IT MAY, IT IS PROHIBITED TO BE SPENT ON BRICKS AND MORTAR.
IF YOU CANNOT CONSTRUCT A FACILITY OR REPLACE A FACILITY OR TEAR DOWN A WALL WITH FOOD SERVICE FUNDS, BUT YOU CAN PUT A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN OR BUY VEHICLES OR FURNITURE, OR LIKE CAFETERIA TABLES OR KITCHEN EQUIPMENT.
SO, UM, WE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF, UM, OF A YEAR.
WE HAD A GOOD YEAR, UM, THE YEAR BEFORE.
AND SO WE WERE IN THE PROCESS, UH, UM, USING SOME OF THOSE DOLLARS, BUT THEN HAD ANOTHER GOOD YEAR.
UM, AND OUR, WE DO HAVE SOME KITCHEN EQUIPMENT ON ORDER TO, TO MAKE SOME SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF REPLACEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT OVENS AND WARMERS AND MILK COOLERS IN OUR SCHOOLS.
CAN I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION PLEASE? SURE.
UM, IN REGARD TO SPENDING THAT DOWN, I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THAT FURNISH FURNISHINGS WERE ALLOWED AND DURING SOME OF THE SCHOOL TOURS, I'M SURE YOU GUYS ALREADY HAVE THIS ON LIKE YOUR LIST OF POTENTIAL, UM, ITEMS THAT THAT MONEY COULD BE USED FOR, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME INTEREST FROM QUITE A NUMBER OF SCHOOLS ABOUT EXPANDING THEIR OUTDOOR EATING AREAS.
UM, SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY PLANS TO EXPAND THAT MONEY FOR THAT AS WELL.
ACTUALLY, WE ALREADY HAVE DONE SOME WITH THAT.
UM, SO, WELL, BRANCH MIDDLE SCHOOL HAS A NEW SHADE STRUCTURE OVER WHAT ALREADY EXISTED AS PICNIC TABLES AND, UH, CONCRETE PAD ACTUALLY, I THINK THE CONCRETE PAD HAD TO BE LAID, BUT THERE WERE ALREADY PICNIC TABLES THERE RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE CAFETERIA.
UM, SO WE INSTALLED A BEAUTIFUL SHADE STRUCTURE.
THERE, THERE WERE ACTUALLY FIVE LOCATIONS RECENTLY THAT WOULD RECEIVE SHADE STRUCTURES TO SUPPORT THAT, UH, OUTDOOR DINING BLUFFTON, UH, BEAUFORT, MIDDLE, UM, BETTER CREEK DOESN'T HAVE A SHADE STRUCTURE, BUT THEY DO HAVE AN AWNING OFF OF THE BACK, BUT THEY DO HAVE SOME PICNIC TABLES OUT THERE.
UM, MAY RIVER BECAUSE OF THE CAPACITY IN, THEY WERE REALLY, UH, NEARING CAPACITY IN THEIR CAFETERIA WITH THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THEY HAVE.
SO WE PLACED AN OUTDOOR DINING, UH, SHADE STRUCTURE THERE.
UM, I DON'T RECALL ALL OF THE SCHOOLS, FRED LOTTON AND I WORKED VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER.
HE IDENTIFIED WHERE THE NEED WAS GREATEST AND HAD, UH, THE SPACE FOR IT.
BUT WE TALKED LAST WEEK THAT WE CAN BEGIN TO THINK ABOUT.
I'VE ASKED HIM TO GO OUT AND SEE, GET ANOTHER, LET'S DO ANOTHER ROUND OF THEM.
SO YES, THEY'RE DEFINITELY, UH, DE HUSKY WAS ANOTHER, THERE WERE SOME, UM, UH, OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS WITH UMBRELLAS.
I BELIEVE WE BOUGHT SOME UMBRELLAS AT PORT ROYAL, UM, TO GO WITH A, SOME EXIST TO ADD TO SOME EXISTING, UM, OUTDOOR SEATING THAT THEY HAD.
AND, UH, I HAVE TO GET A LIST.
I JUST WAS WONDERING, UM, WHAT THE STATUS OF THOSE WERE.
I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE KIDS TO BE ABLE TO GET OUTSIDE, GET SOME FRESH AIR, UM, DURING LUNCH HOURS.
UH, IN FACT, I VISITED, UM, THE WELL BRANCH SCHOOLS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND TOOK PICTURES OF THEM.
I SENT A LETTER IN, THANK HIM, NOT SURPRISING THAT REVENUES CAME IN, UH, HIGHER THAN PROJECTED BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF HOME SALES.
WHEN YOU HAVE A 200, WHEN YOU SELL A HOUSE THAT YOU BOUGHT FOR $200,000, IT'S ON THE COUNTY BOOKS FOR $200,000 FOR TAX PURPOSES.
BUT WHEN THE NEW BUYER PAYS $400,000
[01:00:01]
FOR THAT, THEN THAT IS NOW THE ASSESSED VALUE AND HE'S TAXED FOR THAT ASSESSED VALUE.SO I THINK THAT THAT TREND WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE BECAUSE WE'VE ONLY GOT A HALF A YEAR AND IT'S ALWAYS A LAG BETWEEN THE TIME THE TRANSACTION HAPPENS AND THE TAXES ARE PAID.
NOW, YOU KNOW, GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION SAYS YOU SHOULD HAVE 60 DAYS OF EXPENDITURES ON, ON HAND.
AND WE NOW HAVE A 69 DAY, WHICH IS A THREE DAY INCREASE, BUT THAT'S ALLOWED US TO REDUCE OUR TAX ANTICIPATION NOTE FROM 15 MILLION TO 7.5 MILLION AND WOULD REALLY BE NICE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A TAX ANTICIPATION NOTE.
AND REMEMBER THAT THIS GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION GOAL IS FOR ENTITIES THAT HAVE A MORE, UH, SPREAD OUT FUNDING STREAM.
UH, UNLIKE WE HAVE A TWO MONTH BASICALLY, UH, PERIOD OF, UH, FUNDING.
UH, AND, AND THE REASON THIS NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT IS WE HAVE A REASSESS YEAR COMING UP NEXT YEAR.
IS THAT TIME CORRECT? I MEAN, THREE OR 24 IT'S EVERY, AT LEAST EVERY FIVE YEARS THEY COULD DO IT A YEAR EARLY.
SO I'M NOT CERTAIN EXACTLY THE YEAR, BUT IT WILL BE EITHER 23 OR 24.
YEAH, WELL, WE'VE GOT A NEW, WE'LL HAVE A NEW AUDITOR AND, UH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS OUR FUND BALANCE BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP THE LAST TWO YEARS BY ACCOUNTING COUNCIL FOR BUDGET APPROVAL.
SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE HAPPENED WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME.
AND WE CAME OUT SHORT 9 MILLION IN THE NEW, AT THE LAST RATE ASSESSMENT.
IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE BROUGHT TO THE FULL BOARD AT THE NEXT MEETING TO THE FULL BOARD SEES.
SO THIS WILL NOT BE IN A CONSENT AGENDA, CORRECT.
UM, IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE, UH, IT CAN BE SENT, BUT IT COULD BE PULLED OFF, UM, RECOMMEND THAT IT BE GIVEN TO THE FULL BOARD.
I THINK THE FOURTH QUARTER REPORTS ARE, UM, MORE IMPORTANT TO GO THE FULL BOARD.
GREAT COMMUNITY OR JUST THOSE IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE ON THE COMMITTEE REPORT, BUT, UH, MS. CROSBY WILL GIVE THE, UH, PRESENTATION SO WE DON'T NEED TO ACCEPT IT.
WE JUST, WE JUST, CAUSE THIS WILL BE PART OF YOUR REPORT RIGHT LATER ON.
IT WILL BE PART OF AN OD REPORT LATER.
WHEN I DO THE ANNUAL REPORT, YES, I CAN DO A PRESENTATION COMMITTEE.
NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS MINORITY WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS REPORT.
UM, I'M JUST GONNA GIVE A BRIEF INTRODUCTION.
UH, HALEY YER IS HERE WITH US THIS EVENING, OUR PROCUREMENT COORDINATOR, UH, I DO, THIS IS THE MINORITY WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1ST, 2022 TO JUNE 30TH, 2022.
SO THIS DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE CURRENT PROCUREMENT CODE.
UM, SO WE WANT, THIS IS THE FINAL REPORT OF THE OLD PROCUREMENT CODE.
AND, UH, SO IT DOES FALL UNDER THAT, UH, THOSE REGULATIONS.
AND SO HALEY IS GOING TO GIVE UP, YOU HIGHLIGHTS THAT TO SEE ME.
SHE DIDN'T KNOW IT YET, BUT
AND THEN THIS IS THE, UH, SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE PROCUREMENT CODE TO BE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD.
UM, IF YOU LOOK AT THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION STATES THAT OUR GOAL IS STILL 20% AT THE CONTROLLABLE BUDGET, AND THIS IS FOR THE 20 21, 20 22 SCHOOL YEAR, SECOND HALF THE DATA BELOW, UM, EXPLAINS THE FUNDS THAT WERE EXPENDED AS A SIX MONTH FIGURE, WHICH WAS 138.8 MILLION.
THE GOAL ESTABLISHED AGAIN FOR THE UTILIZATION REPORT DURING THAT PERIOD POINT 22 IS 20%.
SO OUR GOAL WAS 27.7 MILLION TOTAL DOLLARS EXTENDED FOR AWARDS TO CERTIFIED
[01:05:01]
MINORITY WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE WAS 1 MILLION, WHICH WAS 0.7, 4% OF CONTROLLABLE BUDGET.TOTAL DOLLARS EXTENDED TO NON-CERTIFIED WAS 5.8 MILLION.
AND THAT WAS 4.8% OF CONTROLLABLE BUDGET AND TOTAL DOLLARS EXTENDED FOR AWARDS TO, UM, ALL MINORITY WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE CERTIFIED.
AND NON-CERTIFIED AT 6.8 MILLION, WHICH WAS 4.9, 2%.
THAT INFORMATION BELOW, UM, CAPTURES HOW MANY SOLICITATIONS WERE PUT OUT BY THE, UH, PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT AND SOME INFORMATION ON THOSE AS WELL.
UM, THEN IT'S A BREAKDOWN OF ACTUAL DOLLARS PAID TO CERTIFIED MINORITY WOMEN BUSINESS FOR MINORITY, AND THEN WOMEN, UH, SPLIT TO THOSE TWO CATEGORIES.
AND HOW MANY OF EACH OF THOSE VENDORS, UM, THAT WE CURRENTLY USE THAT ARE CERTIFIED THEN FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BOARD? UM, IT'S THE GOAL VERSUS ACTUAL, UH, HISTORICAL TO CURRENT SHOWING, UM, EVERYTHING FROM JANUARY TO JUNE, 2016, WHICH IS A SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTING PERIOD ALL THE WAY CURRENT, UM, JUST KIND OF TRENDING ON HOW WE'VE SPENT IN, UM, THE PAST SIX YEARS.
UM, AGAIN, IT'S ALWAYS A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO ACQUIRE MORE MINORITY WOMEN BUSINESS OWNED BUSINESSES.
UM, AND WE, AGAIN WORK WITH, UM, OTHER PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADVERTISING.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THROUGH THE TRANSPARENCY REPORT, UM, THROUGH RADIO, THROUGH NEWSPAPERS AND THROUGH, UM, COMMERCES, AND ALSO HAVING CAN'T FIND WORDS TODAY
THAT WAS FOR THAT SIX MONTH PERIOD QUESTIONS.
ESKI YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NO, SIR.
UH, THIS HAS TO BE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD.
IT IS REQUIRED BY THE PROCUREMENT CODE THAT WE PRESENTED, UH, TWICE A YEAR TO THE BOARD.
SO WE WILL, UH, RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR BY THIS COMMITTEE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO THE, UH, FOR BOARD BOARD ACCEPTANCE OF THE REPORT? OKAY.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE REPORT, ACCEPT THE REPORT.
I HAVE A MOTION TO, UH, ACCEPT THE REPORT.
THE DISCUSSION HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVORS BY SITTING.
WAS I CONSENT AGENDA OR NO, NO, THIS REPORT.
NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS DISCUSSION OF STATE CONTRACT CHANGES, NEW PROCUREMENT CODES.
SO AGAIN, INTRODUCE THAT VERY QUICKLY.
UM, SO THERE HAVE BEEN, UM, SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING, UH, DIFFERENT VENDORS, UH, PARTICULARLY AMAZON AND I, UH, WE DO, UM, WANTED, WANTED TO BRING FORWARD, UH, A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE THAT'S IN THE PROCUREMENT CODE, UM, THAT MAY AFFECT OUR PURCHASING AND THE VENDORS THAT WE'RE USING.
SO I THINK IN PARTICULAR, WE'RE GONNA SEE SOME REDUCTIONS IN AMAZON, UM, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREAS OF OFFICE SUPPLIES.
AND SO THE, THE DOCUMENT WE PROVIDED, UH, WAS FOR A COMPARISON WITH STAPLES FOR LAST MONTH AND THIS MONTH.
SO, UH, WITHOUT STEALING HER FEND EVEN MORE, I'M GONNA LET KAY TALK HERE AND SHE CAN EXPLAIN CHANGE IN THE STATE CODE AND HOW THAT AFFECTS SOME OF OUR VENDORS.
SO, UH, WHEN WE EX UH, WHEN WE BROUGHT THE SUMMARY OF THE CHANGES OF THE CODE, THE MAJOR CHANGES ARE GONNA HAPPEN.
WE BROUGHT THAT TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, DR.
KY MADE A, A VERY CRITICAL POINT OF SAYING, HOW ARE WE GONNA CONTROL AMAZON? HOW ARE WE GONNA CONTROL SPENDING WITH THE LIMITS GOING TO 10,000? AND SO, UM, TAKING IN ALL THAT INFORMATION, UM, IN HAND WITH DR.
GUS WANTING A NEW, UM, PROCUREMENT GUIDE OR PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW FOR THE BOARD, WE THOUGHT, WE'D GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION ON WHAT WE CALL THE 10% RULE.
SO THE NEW PROCUREMENT CODE STATES THAT STATE CONTRACT IS MANDATORY WITH THAT.
WE ALREADY HAVE OUR OWN DISTRICT CONTRACTS.
SO WHEN WE WROTE OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, UM, OUR INTERNAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REQUIRED BY THE NEW PROCUREMENT CODE, WE
[01:10:01]
NOTATED THAT NOT ONLY ARE STATE CONTRACT MANDATORY, BUT DISTRICT CONTRACT, IF IT'S ALREADY BEEN COMPETITIVELY, GOOD, YOU HAVE TO START THERE TO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND, SO IF A BOOKKEEPER NEEDS TO PURCHASE MARKERS, THEY NEED TO GO, UH, IT'S FOR OFFICE SUPPLIES, THEY NEED TO GO TO STABLES OR FORMS AND SUPPLIES.THOSE TWO COMPANIES HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS TO GIVE A DISCOUNT TO THE STATE.
UM, AND THEY HAVE ALL THIS INFORMATION AT THEIR FINGERTIPS TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE FROM THESE VENDORS.
UM, THEY CAN'T JUST GO TO AMAZON AND BUY WHAT THEY WANT OR GO TO WALMART AND, AND BUY WHAT THEY WANT.
HOWEVER, THEN THE 10% OF WORLD APPLIES.
WE KNOW THAT SOMETIMES EVEN IF A CONTRACTED VENDOR COULD SOMETIMES BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN AMAZON.
SO IF THEY GO TO AMAZON TO BUY MARKERS AND THEY FIND THAT IT'S 10% CHEAPER ON AMAZON, THEY HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE CONTRACTED VENDOR TO SEE IF THEY'LL MATCH THEIR PRICE.
IF THEY WON'T, THEY CAN PROCEED WITH THE PURCHASE FROM THE LESS EXPENSIVE VENDOR.
IF THEY MATCH THEIR PRICE FULL, THEN THEY GOT A CHEAPER PRICE.
UM, SO IT HAS BEEN A LEARNING CURVE FOR, UM, SOME OF THE BOOKKEEPERS AS WELL, BUT WE'VE GIVEN THEM THE TOOLS AND THE ACCESS, UM, AND COMPLETE WITH ACCESS TO ALL, ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEED FOR WHAT'S ON STATE CONTRACT.
UM, THE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING GETS CONVOLUTED, NOT ALL ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE ON STATE CONTRACT.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BUY WATER BOTTLES OFF STATE CONTRACT OR TISSUES, OFF-STATE CONTRACTOR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING ELSE THAT THEY MAY NEED.
SO THEN THEY ARE FREE TO PURCHASE FROM WHERE THEY'D LIKE.
UM, BUT WE DO CHECK ALL OF THAT DURING THE AUDIT PROCESS NOW AS WELL.
COULD YOU, UM, OH, I'M WORKING ON GETTING THE, UM, COMPARISON TO ROBIN FOR DISPLAY ON THE SCREEN, BUT IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND JUST RUNNING OVER.
SO AS A VISUAL TO THIS, IT'S KIND OF PROVING AND SHOWING THAT FROM JULY OF 21 TO JULY OF 22 A YEAR DIFFERENCE, WE DECREASED OUR AMAZON SPENDING JUST THIS MONTH ALONE FROM A YEAR AGO, BY 50%.
WELL, A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 50%, BUT WE'VE INCREASED IT WITH STAPLES BY A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 50%.
SO WE ARE USING PROOF SHOWING THAT WE ARE USING OUR CONTRACTED VENDORS, UM, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GETTING THE BEST, MOST COMPETITIVE PRICE FOR WHAT WE'RE SPENDING AS WELL.
AND, UM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB ABOUT IT.
THE SCHOOLS ARE A REALLY, REALLY GOOD JOB, MR. CHAIR, DR.
THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION AND FOR, YOU KNOW, ENTERTAINING ALL MY AMAZON QUESTIONS OVER, OVER THE MONTHS OR YEARS
UM, AND THAT WAS SIMPLY JUST, UH, A THING TO MAKE SURE THAT, I MEAN, I LOVE AMAZON JUST AS MUCH AS THE NEXT PERSON AND I UTILIZE IT AND IT'S CONVENIENCES IS WONDERFUL.
UM, BUT I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE, UM, TO MAKE THIS AND, AND CLEAN THIS UP ALSO FOR THE BOOKKEEPERS.
AND I KNOW IT MIGHT BE A, A LITTLE BIT OF A HEADACHE, BUT I THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO, UM, BE BENEFICIAL FOR EVERYBODY IN THE LONG RUN.
I RECOMMEND THAT THIS ALSO BE, UH, PRESENTED TO THE FULL BOARD.
PARDON ME, DO WE HAVE TO OVER THAT? I DON'T THINK WE DON'T HAVE, WE HAVE TO VOTE ON IT, BUT IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO HAVING THIS PRESENTED TO THE FULL BOARD? YEAH, I, I JUST, I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO HEAR ABOUT THAT AND, UH, THEN PUBLIC DOES WATCH THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
OKAY, GREAT, GREAT DISCUSSION OF MONTHLY ESOR UPDATES IS OUR NEXT ITEM.
SO THIS ITEM I REQUESTED TO BE, UH, ADDED.
SO AFTER THE LAST BOARD MEETING, UH, DURING THE SER UPDATES, SO THESE ARE OUR, UM, FOR THE PUBLIC, OUR FEDERAL COVID RELATED FUNDS, UH, WE GIVE MONTHLY UPDATES TO BOARD.
UM, THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ABOUT, UH, VARIOUS THINGS, THE SPENDING PATTERNS, UH, BUDGET TRANSFERS AND VARIOUS THINGS.
AND SO AFTER THE LAST MEETING, I FELT LIKE WE REALLY NEEDED SOME TO PROVIDE A DEEPER DIVE FOR THE BOARD TO ALLOW YOU TO HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION.
UM, BUT IT REALLY, I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER SUITED IN THE COMMITTEE, UH, THAN A FULL BOARD MEETING, BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME.
AND I THINK WE MAY EVEN HAVE, WE KIND OF, WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR A TWO PART SERIES RIGHT NOW.
UH, WE HAVE BUDGET TRANSFERS AND THEN WE WANNA COME TO YOU A SECOND ROUND WITH SOME PROJECTED CASH FLOWS, SIMILAR TO WHAT THE REFERENDUM IS DOING.
[01:15:01]
DO WE ANTICIPATE TO SPEND BY MONTH? UM, AND IT GETS A BIT CONFUSING BECAUSE WE HAVE MULTIPLE GRANTS.AND SO WE MAY BE CONSOLIDATING THOSE TOGETHER AND THOSE ACTIVITIES TOGETHER.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ACTIVITY AS A WHOLE AND HOW THAT SPENDING WILL OCCUR AND, AND WE'LL SHIFT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S PAID FOR THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE GRANT.
UM, BUT YOU'LL, YOU'LL SEE A BETTER PICTURE OF WHAT PROGRESS WE'RE MAKING OF SPENDING, UH, THROUGH, THROUGH EACH ACTIVITY.
SO AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS OR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES OR SO ON, AND WE'LL COLLAPSE THOSE, UH, AND SHOW YOU WHAT THAT SPENDING PATTERN WILL BE OUT THROUGH 2024.
SO MY REQUEST THIS EVENING IS SIMPLY TO, UH, REMOVE, UH, ALLOW THE ESTHER UPDATES TO FLOW THROUGH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, TO THE BOARD, TO THE FULL BOARD.
AND THAT PERHAPS STARTING WITH OUR NEXT MEETING, WE DO A DETAILED, UH, ESSER UPDATE.
UM, MS. MATSON WILL, UH, JOIN ME AND HELP WITH THAT CONVERSATION SHE'S ALREADY BEEN WORKING ON, UM, SO, AND WAYS TO REPORT TO THE BOARD THAT CLARIFY THINGS.
AND SO MY REQUEST THIS EVENING IS JUST FOR A MOTION, UM, TO ALLOW THAT TO COME TO COMMITTEE AND THEN WE'LL SEND IT THROUGH COMMITTEE BACK TO THE FULL BOARD JUST AS WE'RE DOING WITH THE MONTHLY TRANSPARENCY BOARDS, BUT, BUT NOT NECESSARILY ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
UH, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO ON CONSENT AGENDA.
IT JUST WILL, WE'LL GO BACK IN ANY AREA THE BOARD CHOOSES.
UM, BUT WE HAVE A, A DEEP DISCUSSION HERE AND THEN YOU ALL GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF IT AS THE COMMITTEE.
I THINK MANY OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WERE HAD SOME OF THE MOST QUESTIONS, UH, IN THE FULL BOARD MEETING.
SO I THINK THAT WILL GIVE YOU ALL A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF IT.
AND, UH, AND ANYONE WHO ELSE WHO WISHES TO ATTEND MEETING, AND THEN PERHAPS SAVE SOME TIME AT THE BOARD MEETING ON THAT DISCUSSION COMMENTS, QUESTIONS.
I MAKE A MOTION THAT, UM, COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED BRING MONTHLY ON OUR NEXT AVAILABLE FOR DISCUSSION.
SECOND, LET'S HAVE A DISCUSSION.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S IT? I THINK, I THINK THAT'S FINE.
I'D LOVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO, YOU KNOW, GO THROUGH IT IN FINANCE COMMITTEE.
AND I AGREE, TANYA THAT, YOU KNOW, COLONEL GEIER AND MYSELF PROBABLY HAVE THE MOST QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
AND, UM, I DO THINK THE, THE FORMAT, UM, NEEDED SOME MODIFICATION.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU GUYS ARE BEING PROACTIVE ON THAT.
UM, SO I LOOK FORWARD TO HOPEFULLY HAVING THE FULL BOARD AGREE WITH THAT AND HAVE IT COME THROUGH COMMITTEE.
I, I REALLY THINK THAT OUR FIRST, UM, MEETING THAT WE DISCUSSED THIS, THE FINANCE COMMITTEE THAT WE REALLY SCHEDULE SOME TIME YEAH.
FOR A REALLY IN DEPTH DISCUSSION, NOT ONLY OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE, BUT ALSO IN PACKAGING THAT INFORMATION.
SO IT'S A LITTLE EASIER FOR US TO UNDERSTAND FOR THE FULL BOARD TO UNDERSTAND AND FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE WE GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
WHY ARE YOU USING, WHY AREN'T YOU USING THIS FEDERAL MONEY TO BUY THIS AND TO BUY THAT? YEAH.
AND SO THIS, I THINK WOULD BE VERY, VERY BENEFICIAL, UH, TO DO THAT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM MR. SMITH OR, UH, MR. BERGER? YES, DAVID.
UM, I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
MY ONLY, UM, SUGGESTION WOULD BE WHEN YOU BRING IT TO THE FULL BOARD TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE CONDENSED, HOPEFULLY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, UM, AND TAKE A VERY DETAILED THING AND, AND, YOU KNOW, BRING IT DOWN TO SOMETHING A LOT MORE MANAGEABLE FOR THE FULL BOARD, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANNA CONTINUE TO REPEAT THESE PRESENTATIONS, YOU KNOW, ONCE FOR THE COMMITTEE AND THEN THE SAME PRESENTATION FOR THE BOARD.
SO, UM, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA, CAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND I AGREE WITH YOU.
UM, THAT'S PROBABLY THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION I GET ASKED BY CONSTITUENTS IS WHAT ARE YOU WITH ALL THAT MONEY? I JUST THINK THAT THIS WORK SESSIONS AS WELL AND QUARTERLY TO, UH, TO DIG INTO THIS AND TO GET
[01:20:01]
MORE OF A CLARIFICATION IN IT.UM, I, I HAVE, IT IS SOMETHING TO DIGEST RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING FOR THE FULL BOARD AS WELL, TO UNDERSTAND AND BE ABLE TO, UM, TO DIGEST THIS INFORMATION AS WE PROCESSES.
SO WHEN PEOPLE DO ASK THESE QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN'T ANSWER BACK CONFIDENTLY, KNOWING THAT WE'RE GIVEN THE CORRECT INFORMATION.
HEY, UH, I'M GO AHEAD AND CALL FOR THE PHONE.
PARDON? RACHEL? OH, GO AHEAD, DR.
YEAH, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, I, I AGREE WITH DAVID.
I THINK THE ONE BENEFICIAL THING THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THE MONTHLY S OR UPDATES IS THAT THERE'S THAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ON THE FIRST LIKE PAGE.
SO THAT'LL BE USEFUL AND NOT REHASHING THINGS, UM, TOO DEEPLY AT THE FULL BOARD LEVEL.
UM, BUT STILL ALLOWING US TO DIVE DEEP AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL.
SO THE CALL FOR THE VOTE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
AYE WAS N I MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
SK, I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS TOPIC WOULD NECESSARILY BE, UM, BE PRESENTED, BUT I KNOW WE'VE DONE QUITE A BIT THROUGHOUT, UM, THE COURSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND, UM, WE'VE, WE'VE HAD BONUSES AND WE'VE HAD, UM, ADDITIONAL CHANGES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, UH, THAT WE'VE DONE IN INDIVIDUAL PART.
UM, AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A BIT OF A CONVERSATION THAT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING ON TUESDAY ABOUT, UM, PERHAPS A, A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH IN THE FUTURE, UM, FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO WHAT I'M KIND OF LOOKING FOR IS MAYBE HAVING A DISCUSSION AND A REVIEW OF WHAT HAS OCCURRED IN TERMS OF INCREASES.
UM, AND, AND PERHAPS THIS IS ALREADY COMING IN TERMS OF THE, THE STUDY, UM, REPORT TOMORROW
AND THOSE CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO.
I THINK THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, I, I REALLY WANT TO DIVE A LITTLE DEEPER INTO LONG TERM COSTS OF WHAT WE'RE, UH, MOTTING TO DO WITH SALARIES, BECAUSE ONCE YOU ESTABLISH A SALARY, UH, THEY DON'T GO DOWN.
AND SO WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE ARE VERY COGNIZANT OF WHAT OUR REVENUE REQUIREMENTS ARE GOING TO BE TO KEEP THESE RECURRING COSTS DONE AND, AND HAPPENING.
SO I, I THINK A, A KIND OF A DEEP DIVE INTO THAT AT THE NEXT, UH, COMMITTEE MEETING WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE.
ANY OTHER, ANY OTHER COMMENTS, ANY OTHER ADDITIONS, ANYTHING THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW.
UM, I WILL HAVE, OF COURSE THE TRANSPARENCY REPORTS, AGAIN, THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS REPORT, THE MONTH BOARD, MONTHLY BUDGET, AND, UH, AN UPDATE OF ESTHER FUNDS, SO, OR A PRESENTATION.
SO THOSE WILL ALSO BE, YEAH, WE'RE READY FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
LET'S MAKE, LET'S TRY TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE, UH, TRANSPARENT THAT 82 PAGE, UH, DOCUMENT.
SO WE'LL HAVE SOME TIME BEFORE THE MEETING.
SO WE, WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS RATHER THAN GO THROUGH LINE BY LINE DURING THE MEETING.
HAS IT'S BEEN UP FOR, UH, SOME TIME, SEVERAL DAYS, AT LEAST I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE, BUT, UM, IF YOU COULD JUST SEND IT TO THE, WE CAN, AS SOON AS IT'S, WE'LL SEND A LINK TO THE COMMITTEE.
THE NEXT MEETING WOULD BE NEXT MEETING WOULD BE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13TH, OCTOBER 13TH.
ME, YOU KNOW, RACHEL, CAN'T START BEFORE FIVE.
NO, I HEAR A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
