[4. BUDGET HEARING FY24: AMENDMENT]
UH, BUDGET HEARING FISCAL YEAR 24.IS THAT THE AMENDMENT? DIRECTOR MAYO.
EITHER THE AD OR THE THE AD WORKS.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET AMENDMENT.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD, UM, THE THIS BOARD APPROVED TO REQUEST A MILL LEVY FROM THE TETON COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF 0.9.
AND WE HAD SOME, UH, PLANNED REVENUE THAT HAD NOT BEEN GRANTED OUT, UM, AS OF THE APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET IN JULY.
SO THIS AMENDMENT WILL BUDGET FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL REVENUES.
UH, IN ORDER TO WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS BUDGET APPROVED BEFORE WE CAN APPROVE ANY ADDITIONAL SPENDING.
UH, SO THE RECREATION DISTRICT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET IN THAT THE BUDGET AMENDMENT NEEDS TO BE APPROVED IN ADVANCE OF ANY EXPENDITURES. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR, UM.
THANK YOU. SO, UM, ARE THERE ANY, UH.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS BUDGET? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? SEEING NONE.
I'LL. UM BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD.
[00:05:01]
WELL, WE HAVE TO MOVE INTO.WE HAVE TO ADJOURN INTO THE BUDGET HEARING.
OKAY, SO NOW WE HAVE TO MOVE IT OR I GOT THIS ALL MESSED UP.
WE NEED TO MOVE INTO THE THE BUDGET PERIOD.
SO I MOVE TO ADJOURN INTO THE BUDGET HEARING TO REVIEW THE TCSD NUMBER ONE RECREATION DISTRICT COMPREHENSIVE BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.
AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAY NO. OKAY, WE'LL TURN INTO THE BUDGET HEARING.
OKAY. DIRECTOR MAYO, COME BACK UP.
OKAY. BUT OKAY, THIS IS THE BUDGET.
UM, EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER ONES.
THAT WORKS. THE TCSD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THIS LIST OF POTENTIAL PROJECTS.
UM, AND APPROVED THIS ADDITIONAL GRANT FROM THE TCSD REC DISTRICT.
SO THIS IS THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE BUDGET AMENDMENT, UM, IS SO THAT THESE PROJECTS, THESE THESE WERE PROJECTS THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FACILITIES DEPARTMENT COULD COMPLETE BEFORE JUNE 30TH, UH, WHICH IS THE FISCAL YEAR IN WHICH THESE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR GRANTING. UM, AND THE MILL LEVY IS VALID FOR.
SO THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE BUDGET AMENDMENT, AND THIS REQUEST WAS APPROVED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD.
WITH THE POTENTIAL CHANGE IN THE STRUCTURE, TYPICALLY, THIS BOARD WOULD ALSO HAVE TO APPROVE TO GRANT THE MONEY TO THE SCHOOL BOARD OR TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THIS AMOUNT.
UM, I'M HOPING ONCE YOU APPROVE THE BUDGET AMENDMENT, THAT WILL SUFFICE.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? BECAUSE IT'S GOING BACK AND FORTH.
SO IF WE CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OF THE REC DISTRICT, THEN THESE PROJECTS WILL BE APPROVED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD, WHICH IS NOW OR COULD POTENTIALLY ALSO BE THE SAME AS THE REC DISTRICT BOARD.
SO I'M WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COLOR CODE.
YES. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE COLOR CODES.
SO SO IF WE WERE TO SIMPLIFY THIS AND SAY THIS BOARD WOULD APPROVE THE BUDGET AMENDMENT NOT TO EXCEED 596,256.
15. WELL, I'D LIKE YOU TO APPROVE THE BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THE WHOLE BUDGET.
OKAY. UM, AND THAT INCLUDES THIS? THAT INCLUDES THIS ADDITION.
THE INCREASED EXPENDITURES OF $3,740,115.
FOR THE NEW BUDGET FOR THE REC DISTRICT.
SO I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY SO.
I MEAN, THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT, RIGHT? IT'S, UM, BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO APPROVE THE BUDGET REQUEST AS THE BUDGET AMENDMENT AS REQUESTED.
I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE NUMBER IS.
IS IT THE 3 MILLION SEVEN? 740,115.
740,115. AND IT'S IN THE CASH IS IN THE BANK.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE CASH TO COVER IT.
WE WON'T HAVE THE CASH UNTIL JUNE BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON THE PAYOUTS.
BUT THEN. SO THE WAY THE PROJECTS TYPICALLY WORK IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS WE GET THE PROJECTS DONE, AND THEN ONCE WE RECEIVE THE MONEY FROM THE REC DISTRICT, WE OFFSET, UM, THE EXPENDITURE THAT WE'VE HAD.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THIS LITTLE BACKWARDS. KATE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? SHE NEEDS TO UNMUTE HERSELF.
[00:10:03]
WELL, HERE I AM.SO I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER.
OKAY. IT'S JUST THAT THE MONEY THAT WE HAD IN EXCESS OF WHAT WE HAD AT THE PREVIOUS BUDGET HEARING.
OKAY. UM, WE'LL BACK UP PUBLIC COMMENT.
