STATE BUDGET
FORECAST
PROGRAM REVIEW
AND RANKING
PROCESS
There was discussion regarding continued updates on the state budget. Lee reviewed a handout on the projected CR revenue forecast which outlined the best and worst case scenarios. The governor’s office under-estimated the number of BOG fee waivers awarded which will result in an unexpected $500,000 deficit for the district. This unexpected expenditure will use any excess fund balance the district has acquired. Lee stated that he will ask cabinet to create a policy regarding building up the district’s fund balance above the required 5 percent.
Discussion continued and Lee noted that the district needs to develop a rational plan. There will be opportunities for all constituencies to give recommendations and input on the budget issues. He also noted that close monitoring of the Fifty percent requirement is being done.
There was also discussion on the following topics:
Closing the 101 Corridor sites
Cost savings from SERP
Furloughs
Parking Fines and Fees
Lee stated that he has not yet received all of the Program Review rankings so it is too early to begin meshing the lists. Items that are mandatory or legally mandated will be pulled out of the lists and put
