IV.C. Lease Agreements
Description:
The purpose of this agenda item is to review the lease agreements for the 15-16 school year. I have attached the lease agreements for your review.  Dane County has their own formal lease agreement.

The district currently has leases with the Wisconsin Youth Company (K-4 after-school program), Dane County (1 office at 101 School Drive), and the New Teacher Project (office space at 101 School Drive).
 
The administrative recommendation is to approve all three leases with the Wisconsin Youth Company lease increasing from $2,300 to $2,350 per building, the Dane County lease continuing at $75 per month, and the New Teacher Project lease continuing at $300 per month.
Please let me know if you have any questions on the lease agreements. You can contact me via email at ssummers@waunakee.k12.wi.us or via phone at 849-2491. Thanks.

V. 2014-2015 BUDGET UPDATE
Subject:
V.A. Projected End of the Year Balance
Description:
The purpose of this agenda item is to review the projected end of the year balance. The contingency fund for the 14-15 fiscal year is $100,000. We have allocated approximately $46,835 for additional salary increases and open enrollment special education tuition. The unallocated contingency is $53,165 at this time. We will also have an end of the year balance remaining in the referendum operational funds of approximately $415,000. Overall, I project that the end of the year balance will be positive by approximately $200,000 (excluding referendum funds). Please also note that I project that the department/building carry over fund balance will decrease due to projects being completed in the maintenance, technology, and curriculum departments.
Subject:
V.B. Budget Changes
Description:
The purpose of this agenda item is to review  the formal budget change process that will be presented to the School Board for approval in June. The budget change document is attached.

Here are the major budget changes for this year:

1. The Fund 10 and 27 budgets have been reallocated due to the expenditure of 14-15 contingency funds. The net change is $0.
2. The Fund 10 and 27 salary and benefits budgets have been reallocated due to approval of pay increases during the months of December/January after the 14-15 budget was approved. The net change is $0.
3. The Fund 99 revenues and expenses have been increased by $60,000 due to increased account activity.
4. The Debt Service Funds have been increased to account for the refinancing associated with the November 2014 referendum
5. The Capital Projects Funds have been increased to account for the borrowings associated with the November 2014 referendum
Please let me know if you have any questions on the budget changes. You can contact me via email at ssummers@waunakee.k12.wi.us or via phone at 849-2491. Thanks.
Subject:
V.C. Fund Balance Classifications
Description:
The purpose of this agenda item is to review the fund balance classifications. The School Board is annually required to approved fund balance accounts prior to the close of the fiscal year. I have attached the fund balance accounts that are currently being used. I am not proposing any changes at this time. Please let me know if you have any questions on the fund balance classifications. You can contact me via email at ssummers@waunakee.k12.wi.us or via phone at 849-2491. Thanks.
