It is my recommendation that you adopt Resolution 4-26, as presented.
 

It is Mr. Feeney’s recommendation that you approve Resolution No. 5-26, designating interest accruing during the current fiscal year and all interest from prior years to be treated as interest going forward into the next fiscal year.

Background: Pursuant to regulatory changes in the Illinois Administrative Code (23 IL. Administrative Code 100.50), effective July 1, 2008 the Illinois State Board of Education             requires that: "Unless otherwise provided by statute or specified by board resolution adopted prior to June 30 of a fiscal year, interest earnings shall be added to and become part of principal as of June 30 of the fiscal year."

Therefore, in order to preserve the District’s option to transfer accrued interest from one fund to another, the Board will have to act at least once a year by doing one or both of the following: (1) pass a resolution transferring interest; or (2) pass a resolution designating interest accruing during the current fiscal year and all interest from prior years to still be interest going forward. This resolution is an annual resolution, similar to the annual Prevailing Wage Act resolution. Therefore, this resolution is listed on the consent agenda and will be brought forward in the future on the consent agenda at the same time as the Prevailing Wage resolution.
 

It is Mr. Feeney’s recommendation that you approve the permanent transfers of Working Cash Interest collected in FY2026 to the Education Fund.

Budget: $50,000 Education Fund from Working Cash
As of May 31st, we have collected $44,427.15 in working cash interest.
