Description:
On a regular basis, we meet with City representatives to review our Joint Facility Use Agreement and have any revisions approved by our respective board or council. We are still working out the final details of the proposed Joint Facility Use Agreement that will come forward to the March 23rd meeting for approval. At this stage, there have been minimal changes in the document.
I will send out a copy prior to the 3/23 board meeting if it is ready for review and approval.

4. Review of Five Year Operating Capital Needs:
|
|
| Presenter: |
Dr. Smith
|
|
|
Description:
We have a significant number of facility needs that are due to be addressed within our budget over the next five years. I feel that we need to have a discussion regarding the items on this list, the impact that these items will have on our overall budget and possible financial plans for dealing with the items.
I have attached a copy of our Five Year Facility Maintenance Plan FY15-FY20 for your review along with a copy of our current year operating capital budget. Please note that on our current year budget, we anticipate deficit spending by approximately $185,000 and that our reserve in this area will drop to approximately $425,000. |

5. Review of FY16 Budget Assumptions:
|
|
| Presenter: |
Dr. Smith
|
|
|
Description:
At our planning retreat we reviewed our first look at the budget assumptions for the coming year. I have attached a copy of the assumptions along with a printout of the results from those assumptions along with on additional change. The base model reflects all items on the assumption list while the 3% Gen Ed Increase First 2 Years reflects the same assumptions with that one change.
I have asked Mr. Keller to add that as the MN House Republicans have rolled out their budget priorities and have a 3% increase in funding as part of their initiative. This compares to the Governor's current proposal to increase the general education allowance by 1% for the next two years and put the majority of new money toward mandatory pre-school for 4 year olds. |
