9 <br /> 1 • $4,285 per pupil ($417 p/p increase) <br /> 2 <br /> 3 (NOTE: Through continual review and efforts to ensure appropriate staff alignment with the <br /> 4 allotment formula, the preliminary number of positions needed for compliance with HB13, as <br /> 5 currently written, has been reduced from 12 to 3.5, consequently reducing the needed funding <br /> 6 from $780,000 to $180,500. The impact of this modification would reduce the per pupil <br /> 7 increase required from the original request of$405 to $322.) <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Fund Balance Appropriation <br /> 10 Fund Balance Appropriation approved for: <br /> 11 • $120,000: Universal Breakfast Service at K-5 schools <br /> 12 • $175,000: Elementary School Environmental Enhancement Program <br /> 13 • $165,000: Read to achieve full day camp for grades K-3 <br /> 14 • $107,000: Academic full day camp for grades 4-5 <br /> 15 • Total Fund Balance Appropriation: $567,000 <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Fund Balance Projection <br /> 18 • Projected Unassigned Fund Balance as of 6/30/17: <br /> 19 $1,000,000 to $1,300,000 <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that the total is $3.4 million, and asked if the <br /> 22 continuation and expansion could be identified. <br /> 23 Rhonda Rath said the continuation is $3.4 million, and the expansion is $104,000, which <br /> 24 totals $3.5 million. <br /> 25 Commissioner Jacobs asked if a copy of the revised PowerPoint presentation could be <br /> 26 provided to post on the County website. <br /> 27 Commissioner Jacobs asked if the total amount spent on elementary School Resource <br /> 28 Officers (SROs) could be identified. <br /> 29 Rhonda Rath said $180,000, which is included in their continuation budget. <br /> 30 Commissioner McKee asked Todd LoFrese if the CHCCS plan is to use part of its fund <br /> 31 balance. <br /> 32 Todd LoFrese said CHCCS BOE is recommending retaining its fund balance to address <br /> 33 capital projects. <br /> 34 Commissioner McKee said he never understood why the two school systems carry <br /> 35 different fund balances, and noted that CHCCS is holding $3 million over its targeted policy <br /> 36 amount. <br /> 37 Todd LoFrese said the CHCCS policy states that any fund balance should ideally be <br /> 38 used for one-time expenses, and the capital construction projects are critical, while rising <br /> 39 construction costs are very real. He said the additional fund balance will be needed to help <br /> 40 complete the capital construction projects. <br /> 41 Commissioner McKee said he hoped CHCCS can understand his conflict in knowing <br /> 42 there is a school bond coming forth that will prompt a tax increase. He said the BOCC will do <br /> 43 all that it can but the schools have a higher request than has ever previously been <br /> 44 accommodated. <br /> 45 Travis Myren made the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Budget Work Session #1 <br /> 48 Education and Outside Agencies <br /> 49 May 25, 2017 <br /> 50 Southern Human Services Center <br />
