/) April ;

3, 1962. This ,r©aomm&ndation is made for
' a n u m b e r o f reason**, k. XI; is; R p a i n f u l f a c t t h a t the J u n i o r -
:
:V College .District at present has absolutely no funds. We cannot expect that any tax revenues will be available much before
December 1, 1962 at the earliest* Because
!
of that situation your Cotnmittee recommends
' that it be granted authority to prepare a
* form of advertisement for bids to borrow necessary operating revenues in .anticipation of tax receipts.
In recommending a tax rate of Ten Cents on each One Hundred Dollars of assessed valup ationj we are also mindful of the fact that the revenues to be produced from this tax rate must, as a practical matter i support the activities of the Junior College District not just for the fiscal year beginning July If 1962, and ending June 30, 1963, but in actuality for a period of approximately nineteen months.
From these revenues we must repay any sums
^ ^ borrowed to defray the expenses of 'this District
^ p since its creation on April 20, 1962', until
':: current tax revenues are received later this
, , year. In addition, if we are to avoid this kind of deficit financing next year we must also provide for the payment, of all our ex-
- iCT^,^ T '"' penditures until about December 1, 1963, which is the earliest date at which receipt of next year's tax revenues can be anticipated.
J
As we have considered the expenses for the coming year we have taken into account not only hiring a chief administrative officer but also

In recommending the Ten Cent rate your tommittee has been keenly aware of the urgent desire on the part of the members of this Board
/ to begin a program of instruction at the earliest is p r a c t i c a b l e d a t e . I n t h a t c o n n e c t i o n w e r e a l i z e

For all of the foregoing reasons^this
Committee recommends to the Board a tax rate for 1962 of ten one-hundredths of one^ier cent or Ten Cents on each One Hundred/Dollars of assessed valuation, / ,
Pursuant to the requirements of law, this
x
\
Committee submits to the Board aYproposed budget for the fiscal year 1962-1963 for the
Board's approval. This budget anticipates gross revenues of $3,300,000 from the recommended tax rate. Your Committee proposes that these revenues be placed to the credit of the Junior College District in a single, general or operating fund.
Necessarily, at this point, the anticipated expenditures of revenue fron\ this fund can
\ only be grossly estimated. We havv^ already incurred expenses for legal counsel and certain administrative expenses. Xt is recognized that additional such expenditures will be required in our continuing search for a chief administrative officer. Beyond this, we
Know that certain kinds of expenses will be incurred when a program of instruction is begun, but recognize that the amounts of such expenditures will necessarily depend on the time at which we can begin such a program.
We are advised that transfers may be made among the several sub-accounts indicated under the heading of expenditures This possibility will giva to the Board sufficient flexibility to accommodate our needs as they arise* f; ^
