[00:05:03]

ANOTHER FOCUS, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST AND HIGH. OH I'M SORRY. OUR FINAL TOPIC WAS ACADEMIC FOCUS. WE ALSO THINK THAT SCHOOLS SHOULD KEEP PUSHING THE IMPORTANCE OF GRADES, SO EVERY STUDENT STAYS ON TRACK FOR THEIR FUTURE, WHICH ALSO LED TO THE DISCUSSION OF STUDENTS FEELING EMPOWERED THROUGH THE CARE AND CONNECTIONS RECEIVED FROM TEACHERS AND STAFF. THIS IDEA OF OUR CARING CONNECTIONS TO THEIR TEACHERS AND STAFF LED TO SOME TIME OF STUDENTS TALKING ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE TEACHERS. WHILE WE GAVE A LOT OF INDIVIDUAL SHOUT OUTS, THERE WERE TWO COMMON THEMES. TEACHERS DEFINITELY KNOW THEIR CONTENT AREA AND POSITIVE CONNECTION WITH THE SCHOOL. TEACHERS AND OR STAFF IS VERY POWERFUL. THE TEACHERS AND STAFF WE LOVE THE MOST ARE THE ONES WHO SHOWED THEY DEEPLY CARE ABOUT US, NOT JUST THE STUDENTS, BUT AS PEOPLE. WHETHER IT'S HELPING US MASTER A DIFFICULT MATH PROBLEM OR CHECKING IN HOW WE'RE DOING EMOTIONALLY, THAT POSITIVE CONNECTION AND CARE FOR OUR WELL BEING IS WHAT MAKES US WANT TO SHOW UP AND DO OUR BEST EVERY DAY. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT COLES AND EXECUTIVE CABINET FOR GIVING US A SEAT AT THE TABLE AND ACTUALLY LISTENING TO WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A STUDENT IN US. WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE TO SEE THESE IDEAS HELP SHAPE OUR DISTRICT'S FUTURES. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT EVENING. THANK YOU LADIES. NEXT, WE HAVE A COMMUNICATION FROM OUR STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES.

TODAY WE ARE HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE EXCITING WAYS IN WHICH OUR LOCAL SCHOOL COMMUNITY OF UNIVERSITY PREP IS ACTIVELY IGNITING A PASSION FOR LEARNING AND PRACTICING PROWL THROUGH VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AND GOING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM. REFLECTING ON THE VIBRANT SCHOOL LIFE AND ACTIVITIES OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY, ONE OF OUR BRIGHTEST HIGHLIGHTS ARE THE PERFORMING ARTS, PARTICULARLY DURING THE DISNEYLAND MARCHING BAND PERFORMANCE. THIS PRESTIGIOUS OPPORTUNITY ALLOWED STUDENTS TO DEMONSTRATE MUSICIANSHIP, DISCIPLINE, TEAMWORK AND ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE ON A MOVING STAGE, DEMONSTRATING THE RESULTS OF RIGOROUS PRACTICE AND DEDICATION. ATHLETES WERE ALSO CONTINUES TO SHAPE A VITAL SEASONAL ROLE IN SHAPING THE UP STUDENT EXPERIENCE, WITH THIS YEAR'S BOYS AND GIRLS SOCCER PLAYING COMPETITIVELY WHILST DEVELOPING FITNESS STRATEGY AND COLLABORATION, NOTABLY THE IRONMAN VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT BETWEEN SENIORS AND JUNIORS SHOWCASE HOW FRIENDLY RIVALRY CULTIVATES UNITY AND SPORTSMANSHIP BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD. FURTHERMORE, THE WINTER WONDERLAND FESTIVAL ENCOURAGED CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND A SPACE FOR STUDENTS, STAFF AND FAMILIES TO ENJOY THE BREADTH OF TALENTS IN OUR STUDENT BODY. WITH INTERACTIVE BOOTHS, ACOUSTIC STUDENT LED PERFORMANCES AND DELICIOUS DELICACIES. IT WAS DEFINITELY A MEMORABLE NIGHT OF CELEBRATION.

BEYOND ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS, WE'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY INITIATIVE TOWARDS CIVIC SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE UPCOMING BLOOD DRIVE TOMORROW, MARCH 6TH, WHERE STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTRIBUTE LIFE SAVING EFFORTS DURING A TIME OF A SEVERE BLOOD SHORTAGE, THUS COATING A CULTURE OF COMPASSION AND RESPONSIBILITY IN EVERY ARENA, WHETHER IT'S BEING ON THE FIELD OR IN SERVICE TO OTHERS, OUR STUDENTS EXEMPLIFY COLLABORATION AND PRIDE BY REMEMBERING THAT LEARNING ISN'T IN TEXTBOOKS OR TESTS, BUT IN BUT IS EVER EVOLVING RATHER MORE MERE MERE MOMENTS ON THE CALENDAR. EACH OPPORTUNITY PLAYS IN HAND AND EXPLORING, CREATING, CONNECTING AND DISCOVERING THAT EXCITE WHAT EXCITES US. AS UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THESE ACTIVITIES, AS WE IGNITE PASSION FOR LEARNING THAT LASTS FAR BEYOND THE CLASSROOM. HELPING STUDENTS GROW AS STUDENTS AND MEMBERS OF A VIBRANT COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN MAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU LADIES.

TODAY, I'M HERE TO BASICALLY GIVE A BRIEF ON WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO AND WHAT WE ARE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. IN JANUARY, WE SENT TWO CADETS TO STATE EMAS TO COMPETE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CATEGORIES. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DID NOT PLACE, BUT THEY CAME BACK TO OUR BATTALION, MOTIVATED TO TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR, WHICH MOTIVATED MANY OTHER CADETS TO PUT IN MORE EFFORT AND STUDY. AND JUST. I'M VERY HAPPY THAT THAT HAPPENED. LAST WEEK WE HOSTED A PROMOTION CEREMONY, AND THAT PARTICULAR CEREMONY PROMOTED A LOT OF OUR FIRST YEAR CADETS TO CADET FIRST CLASS. THIS BOLSTERED OUR RANKS AND EVEN RESULTED IN SOME OF OUR FIRST YEARS ASSUMING LEADERSHIP POSITIONS LIKE SQUAD LEADER AND EVEN STAFF ASSISTANCE. THIS SATURDAY IS OUR ANNUAL BRIGADE DRILL COMPETITION. I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE ARE SENDING CADETS TO PARTICIPATE IN UNARMED, ARMED AND COLOR GUARD IN BOTH SENIOR AND JUNIOR DIVISION, SO THAT'S GOOD. THESE CADETS HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD AND ARE DETERMINED TO PLACE FIRST AND QUALIFY TO GO TO STATE. SO CHEER US ON PLEASE.

AND WE WILL BE SENDING FIVE OF OUR NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS TO ATTEMPT TO BECOME COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, WHICH IS A NEW RECORD FOR OUR SCHOOL. AND PERSONALLY, I'M VERY, VERY PROUD OF THEM BECAUSE IT'S A PERSONAL CHOICE AND THEY HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO GET TO WHERE THEY ARE TODAY. WE ARE ALSO PREPARING FOR OUR ANNUAL GENERAL INSPECTION, WHICH IS HAPPENING THIS MONTH.

BY REMINDING CADETS OF THEIR GENERAL KNOWLEDGE, THE KNOWLEDGE THEY SHOULD KNOW BASED ON THEIR RANK AND THEIR MILITARY COURTESY. I'M ALSO COORDINATING WITH OUR STAFF WHERE WE ARE ORGANIZING OUR PRESENTATION AND OUR DOCUMENTS, BECAUSE THAT FILING CABINET IS A MESS AND WE ARE GOING TO BE EXAMINED BY OUR COMMANDANT, CAPTAIN JAMES FLYNN. FINALLY, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT 14 OF OUR CADETS HAVE SIGNED UP FOR SUMMER CAMP, AND THEIR PACKETS HAVE BEEN PAID FOR THANKS TO THE DISTRICT BOARD. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU GUYS PERSONALLY BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR CADETS, AND IT WILL HELP THEM DEVELOP AS THE FUTURE LEADERS OF OUR GENERATION.

[00:50:10]

ON FEBRUARY 11TH, I LEARNED FROM OUR DENTAL OFFICE. MY DELTA DENTAL PPO BENEFITS HAD BEEN CANCELED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 31ST, 26. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY THE DISTRICT THAT ANY OF MY BENEFITS WERE BEING TERMINATED. ON FEBRUARY 20TH, I MET WITH ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT MIKE WILLIFORD. I WAS INFORMED THE DISTRICT WOULD WORK TO REINSTATE MY BENEFITS BACK TO JANUARY FOR 60 DAYS. HOWEVER, AFTER SEVERAL FOLLOW UPS ON MARCH 3RD, OUR DENTAL PROVIDER CONFIRMED THAT MY PPO PLAN WAS NOT REINSTATED. SHE ALSO INFORMED ME SHE WAS TOLD I WAS PLACED ON A DIFFERENT MEDICARE DENTAL PLAN BEGINNING APRIL 1ST. ON FEBRUARY 9TH, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM KAISER STATING MY MEDICAL BENEFITS WOULD END MARCH 1ST. 26. THESE DIFFERENT TERMINATION DATES CREATED FURTHER CONFUSION AND CONCERN. I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE BOARD TO REVIEW DOCUMENTS PROVIDED AND HONOR THE SIGNED ADDENDUM AS IT IS INTENDED. THE AGREEMENT WAS EXECUTED BY DISTRICT LEADERSHIP WITH BOARD APPROVED AUTHORITY, THEREFORE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AND IMPLEMENTED ACCORDINGLY. MY REQUEST IS THE DISTRICT. FOLLOW THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. PLACED THE ADDENDUM ON THE APRIL 9TH 26 BOARD MEETING FOR RATIFICATION.

RESTORE AND HONOR THE AGREEMENT AS INTENDED, PROVIDING HEALTH BENEFITS UNTIL I REACHED THE AGE OF 70 IN JANUARY 2031. I HOPE THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED TIMELY, COOPERATIVELY, AND IN GOOD FAITH. CONSISTENT WITH THE DISTRICT'S COMMENT OR COMMITMENT TO ACCOUNTABILITY AND HONOR ITS AGREEMENTS MADE BY DISTRICT LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND COMMITMENT AND INTEGRITY IN DISTRICT DECISIONS. THANK YOU LOKI. NEXT IS SEBASTIAN LOPEZ.

HELLO. I'M JUST HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED ON MY SCHOOL. BUT FIRST. FIRST OF ALL, I'M JUST SAYING THAT I'VE BEEN WITH THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT SINCE 2020 AND I LOVE MY SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. BUT AS MANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THE PROTESTS THAT THE SCHOOL DID AND WAS IT CALLED, I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT CONSEQUENCES FOR THE SCHOOL PROTESTS. AND GOD, THEY THEY TOLD ME I LOST MY PROM, GRADUATION AND GRAD NIGHT. BUT THEN TODAY THEY CALLED ME TODAY SAYING THAT I GOT THEM ALL BACK AND THAT THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO TEACH ME A LESSON. I DON'T THINK THAT WAS I DON'T THINK THAT'S RIGHT. FROM THE SCHOOL, FOR THE SCHOOL FOR DOING THAT. AND ALSO THE CHARGES I GOT FOR THE PROTEST FOR LIKE CONTRIBUTING TO THE DELINQUENCY OF A MINOR, THOUGH THOSE CHARGES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR DOING. YOU HAVE TO DO THAT FOR THREE DAYS AND THAT DOESN'T GO NOTHING WITH THE PROTEST AND

[00:55:01]

[5. BARGAINING UNIT REPORTS]

NOW. WE HAD OUR WELL SORRY. WE WILL HAVE OUR RETIREMENT DINNER. THAT'S GOING TO BE APRIL 22ND AND SO THAT WILL BE AWFULLY NICE. AND WELL, NEXT STEPS THOUGH WE HAVE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE COMING UP TO APRIL IS GOING TO BE REALLY BUSY BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE A WILD ANIMAL PARK THAT WE'RE GOING TO. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY. AND SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND THE DISTRICT FOR A LONG TIME, IT IS A BIG DEAL. 50 YEARS FOR VICTOR VALLEY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION TO BE AROUND, AND IT'S STILL ALIVE. IT'S STILL THRIVING. AND AFTER AFTER WE'RE GONE, HOPEFULLY IT'S STILL THRIVING. IT'S GOING TO BE HERE. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. AND THAT WILL BE APRIL 25TH. I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT, YES, IT IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. AND I, I SPEAKING OF THE CELL PHONE COMMITTEE, I ACCIDENTALLY I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED, BUT WE ACTUALLY RATIFIED A CELL PHONE COMMITTEE OF SEVEN INDIVIDUALS, SEVEN OF OUR MEMBERS, AND ALL OF THEM WERE WOMEN. AND WE DIDN'T DO THAT ON PURPOSE. AND SO I HAD TO BE MORE MINDFUL OF THAT IN THE FUTURE. BUT HEY, PERFECT, IT'S WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, SO IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, NOW'S THE TIME TO DO IT LIKE IT. ALL. WOMAN COMMITTEE I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THE WOMEN THAT WE HAVE IN OUR ASSOCIATION AND ACROSS THE DISTRICT. ALSO NOTE HOW MANY OF OUR ADMINISTRATORS ARE ACTUALLY WOMEN THAT ALL. AND THEN IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK INTO OUR ASSOCIATION ITSELF, OUR REP COUNCIL, OUR VOTING REP COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE MADE UP OF A LITTLE BIT OVER 70% OF OUR THERE ARE VOTING MEMBERS. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO REALLY ARE MAKING THE BIGGEST DECISIONS FOR OUR ASSOCIATION MOVING FORWARD. AND THEN, OF COURSE, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY IS GOING TO BE MARCH 8TH. REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE THERE'S LESS STUFF FOR US TO WORRY ABOUT. WE WERE PUSHING REALLY HARD ON TRYING TO GET ENOUGH SIGNATURES FOR THE EXTENSION OF PROP 55, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED IT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO. OUR REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL VOTED THAT FORWARD A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND WE WE AS AN ASSOCIATION, THE GOAL IS, IS SUPPOSED TO TRY TO GET ALL ASSOCIATIONS UP TO 85% WITH SIGNATURES. AND JUST I THINK IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF LAST WEEK, WE ENDED UP AT 86%. AND SO WE'VE DONE IT. WE REALLY HAVE HIT OUR GOAL. AND IF WE CAN STILL GET A FEW TRICKLING IN, THAT'D BE GREAT. IF WE CAN ACTUALLY GET UP TO 90%. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD THE DISTRICT FOR THE STEPS THAT THEY'VE TAKEN TO TRY TO DO COST SAVINGS. THAT DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED. I DO REMEMBER IN THE PAST, SOMETIMES WE WOULD EVEN COME TO THE DISTRICT AND SAY, HEY, YOU COULD PROBABLY SAVE MONEY IF YOU TRIED TO DO THIS. AND THEN IT'S LIKE, OKAY, YEAH, WE'LL LOOK INTO IT. THEY NEVER REALLY LOOKED INTO IT, I'M PRETTY SURE. BUT YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN THOSE STEPS AND THAT IS WHAT IS HELPING THE DISTRICT STAY AFLOAT WHERE IT IS AND GOING TO TRYING TO KEEP US FISCALLY SOLVENT. AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE TIME YOU ALLOW ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. THANKS, MIKE. CSC REPORT. NO. OKAY. MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX. THE. I'LL

[01:00:16]

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SO MOVED. NEXT UP IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION TO

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

[8. DISCUSSION/ACTION AGENDA]

SHANTI. GOOD EVENING. BEFORE YOU START, SHANTI, WE NEED TO GET THE THE VOTING FOR THE.

HUMAN RESOURCES CLASSIFIED IN CLASS CERTIFICATE AND CLASSIFIED PERSONNEL REPORTS.

I'M SORRY. THANK YOU. OH. NEVER MIND. THEY'RE ON CONSENT. WE'RE GOOD. YEAH, YEAH, SORRY ABOUT THAT. MY APOLOGIES. YOU STILL HAVE YOUR KEYS? YOU KNOW, THIS IS. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GET, LIKE, I GET TRIPPED UP AND I'M LIKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE? I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO TURN IN MY KEYS. YOU'VE GOT KEYS? NOBODY'S GOT KEYS. I'M SORRY. SHANTI. GO AHEAD.

OKAY. GOOD EVENING. I'M. SO. TONIGHT I'M PRESENTING OUR SECOND INTERIM BUDGET UPDATE.

SO THESE ARE THE ASSUMPTIONS BY WHICH OUR BUDGET UPDATE WAS PREPARED. SO THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT OR COLA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2526 IS 2.30%. OUR CURRENT ENROLLMENT AS OF OUR CENSUS DATE, WHICH WAS IN OCTOBER, IS 11,529 STUDENTS. OUR ADA FOR THE YEAR IS PROJECTED AT 93%, OR 10,693 600. I'M SORRY, 10,693. AND THIS PROJECTION DOES ASSUME THAT THE PROP 98 WILL BE FULLY FUNDED, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT ASSUMPTION. SO THIS SLIDE JUST REPRESENTS COLA CURRENT AND PROJECTED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS. SO THE ONE THING TO NOTE, COLA FOR 2627 AND 2728 HAVE BEEN UPDATED. THEY'VE BEEN UPDATED BASED ON THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL. AND SO IF THOSE NUMBERS HOLD THROUGH THE MAY PROPOSAL, THIS THESE ARE THE NUMBERS THAT WE WILL PREPARE THE 2627 BUDGET WITH. SO COLA FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AGAIN WAS 2.3%, OR NEARLY $4.1 MILLION FOR PROJECTING COLA FOR 26, 27 AT 2.41%, OR ALMOST $4.9 MILLION. AND THEN FOR 2728, WE'RE PROJECTING COLA AT A LITTLE BIT OVER 3%, 3.06%, AND THAT'S NEARLY $5.1 MILLION. SO THESE DOLLAR AMOUNTS REFLECT THE AMOUNT THAT OUR LCFF REVENUE WILL BE ADJUSTED DUE TO THE COLA ALONE. AND FOR OUR ENROLLMENT AT ADA, I SPOKE ABOUT THIS YEAR, WHICH WAS 11,005 29 FOR ENROLLMENT, OUR UP OR OUR UNDUPLICATED PUPIL PERCENTAGE FOR THIS YEAR IS 84.56%. AND ADA, AGAIN, WE'RE PROJECTING AT 10,693. AND YOU WILL NOTICE OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS AND IN OUR PROJECTIONS, WE'RE ACTUALLY HOLDING ALL THOSE NUMBERS FLAT. SO WE ARE WE ARE BEING CONSERVATIVE IN OUR PROJECTIONS AND HOLDING THOSE FLAT. IF WE SEE GAINS IN ANY OF THOSE AREAS AND WE WE WILL ADJUST OVER TIME. SO JUST REALLY QUICKLY FOR THIS YEAR, OUR NUMBERS ACTUALLY WENT DOWN. IS THAT CORRECT? THEY WENT DOWN JUST A SLIGHTLY. IT WASN'T A GREAT. YEAH. YEAH. ENROLLMENT WAS DOWN ABOUT 6070 STUDENTS.

OUR UP WAS DOWN A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR. SO AGAIN JUST TO BE CONSERVATIVE WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THOSE NUMBERS FLAT IN OUR PROJECTIONS. SO FOR LCFF REVENUE. SO LCFF IS OUR LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA. AND SO THIS CHART JUST REPRESENTS HOW THOSE PROJECTED REVENUES HAVE

[01:05:01]

AND FOR OUR THIRD YEAR OUT, WHICH IS CURRENTLY 27, 28, WE'RE PROJECTING ABOUT A $24 MILLION UNRESTRICTED RESERVE, OR ABOUT 9.3%. THIS NEXT SLIDE HERE JUST REPRESENTS OUR RESTRICTED PROJECTIONS. AND SO OUR RESTRICTED DOLLARS ARE DOLLARS THAT ARE GIVEN TO US FROM THE STATE OR OTHER GRANTING GRANT AGENCIES FOR VERY SPECIFIC CAUSES. SO IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT THESE RESTRICTED DOLLARS HAVE TO BE USED FOR THEIR RESTRICTED PURPOSES, AND THEY DO NOT COUNT TOWARD OUR UNRESTRICTED RESERVE. BUT WHAT WE'LL NOTICE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH HOLDING THE TOTAL REVENUE IN THERE FLAT. NOW, OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE'VE SEEN HUGE SWINGS IN THESE NUMBERS, PRIMARILY IN THE FEDERAL REVENUE NUMBERS. AND THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THE BIG INFLUX OF ONE TIME EMERGENCY FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC. SO FROM ABOUT THE YEAR 2020 UP UNTIL LAST YEAR, WE HAD SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF ONE TIME DOLLARS THAT WERE FLOWING IN AND OUT AND MAKING THESE NUMBERS SHIFT QUITE A BIT. BUT NOW WE SEE THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE PRETTY MUCH STABLE OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, IF WE LOOK AT EXPENSES IN THE CURRENT YEAR, WE'RE PROJECTING EXPENSES OF ABOUT $86 MILLION OF RESTRICTED EXPENSES. NEXT YEAR, WE'RE PROJECTING ABOUT 80 MILLION. AND THEN THE LAST YEAR ABOUT 82 MILLION. SO OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WE JUST SEE PRETTY KIND OF CONSISTENT ENDING BALANCES IN THOSE RESTRICTED DOLLARS. IN THE THIRD YEAR OUT, WE'RE PROJECTING ABOUT 51 MILLION OF RESTRICTED BALANCES. BUT AS A CAUTIONARY THOUGH, THESE NUMBERS CAN FLUCTUATE QUITE A BIT JUST DEPENDING ON HOW FAST WE USE THESE RESTRICTED DOLLARS, HOW FAST WE IMPLEMENT CERTAIN PROGRAMS. SO WE COULD SEE THESE NUMBERS KIND OF FLUCTUATE QUITE A BIT DEPENDING ON HOW PROGRAMS ARE IMPLEMENTED. SO OUR PROJECTED RESERVES. SO THIS IS JUST A REPRESENTATION OF HOW OUR PROJECTED RESERVES HAVE CHANGED FROM THE TIME WE PREPARE. PREPARED. THE FIRST INTERIM REPORT WHICH WAS BACK IN DECEMBER, TO THE CURRENT BUDGET UPDATE TODAY. SO WE SEE VERY LITTLE CHANGES IN 25, 26, 26, 27. IT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WENT DOWN A LITTLE BIT. WE'RE PROJECTING RESERVES. AND AGAIN, AT SECOND INTERIM OF ABOUT 21% FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, 14% FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND 9% FOR THE THIRD YEAR OUT. SO SOME OF THIS CHANGE IS JUST REALLY DUE TO

[01:10:01]

WE'RE STARTING WITH 50 OVER $57 MILLION THERE. WORTH NOTING THAT IS OUR BOND FUND. SO THOSE ARE THE PROCEEDS OF THE BOND THAT CAME IN THIS PRIOR JUNE. AND THEN WE'RE PROJECTING WHAT WE'LL SPEND OUT AND YOU'LL SEE ENDING BALANCE THERE. WE ALSO HAVE OTHER CONSTRUCTION FUNDS LIKE OUR SPECIAL RESERVE AND CAPITAL FACILITIES FUNDS. LASTLY YOU SEE LISTED THERE WE HAVE A OPEB TRUST WHICH IS A IT'S A REVOCABLE TRUST THAT WAS SET UP FOR RETIREE BENEFITS.

AND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, WE STARTED OFF AT ABOUT 9.9 MILLION, BUT WE'RE PROJECTING TO END THE YEAR AT ABOUT 10.7 MILLION IN THAT FUND. SO OVERALL, WE'RE PROJECTING AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO HAVE OTHER FUNDS AVAILABLE OF OVER $67 MILLION. SO A FEW CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MAY REVISION. THE GOVERNOR'S GOING TO HAVE A REVISION WORKSHOP, AND THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE ON MAY 21ST. SO AT THAT MAY REVISION WORKSHOP, WE'LL LEARN ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET FROM JANUARY TO THAT MAY TIME PERIOD. THAT'LL GIVE US A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME TO TURN AROUND AND ADOPT A BUDGET THAT WILL BE BRINGING BACK TO YOU GUYS FOR NEXT YEAR IN JUNE. ADDITIONALLY, WE EXPECT TO SEE A LOT OF CONTINUED PRESSURE ON OUR ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES, JUST AS THE STATE IS AS WELL. SO AND THESE I MEAN, THESE ARE PRESSURES ARE DUE TO, YOU KNOW, INFLATION, TARIFFS ON GOODS. IT'S JUST A LOT OF UNKNOWN OUT THERE. AND THEN LIKE AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, COLA RATES CAN CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY. SO WE ALWAYS JUST WANT TO KEEP IN MIND WE KNOW WHAT IT IS FOR THIS YEAR. IT'S SAID AND DONE. BUT WE WANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT FOR 26, 27, 27, 28 AND BEYOND THAT, THEY CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE CURRENT PROJECTIONS. AND THEN LASTLY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE. WE'LL EXPLORE WAYS TO MAXIMIZE REVENUE, AND WE'LL EXPLORE COST SAVING MEASURES TO ALWAYS MITIGATE AGAINST UNRESTRICTED DEFICIT SPENDING. SO SO PROVIDING THIS REPORT TONIGHT WAS OUR STATUTORY REQUIREMENT. WE'RE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INTERIM REPORTS TWO TIMES A YEAR. AND THAT REFLECTS CHANGES FROM OUR BUDGET ADOPTION AND TO REVISE REVISE PROJECTIONS. THERE ARE THREE CERTIFICATIONS THAT CAN HAPPEN. THERE CAN BE A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION, WHICH MEANS THAT THE DISTRICT WILL MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. THERE CAN BE A QUALIFIED CERTIFICATION, WHICH MEANS THAT THE DISTRICT MAY NOT MEET FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS, OR A NEGATIVE CERTIFICATION, SAYING THE DISTRICT WILL NOT MEET FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND CURRENT YEAR IN ONE SUBSEQUENT FISCAL YEAR. AND SO WE ARE HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS TONIGHT A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION AND YOU WILL VOTE ON A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION. SO WE ARE SAYING THAT THE DISTRICT WILL MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS FOR THE CURRENT AND TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. AND SO THOSE ARE THE NEXT STEPS. YOU GUYS WILL TAKE A VOTE TO APPROVE THIS POSITIVE CERTIFICATION NEXT. WE'RE ALREADY IN MARCH, SO WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD AND PREPARING TO CLOSE THE BOOKS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. AND WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT BUDGET DEVELOPMENT FOR 2627. ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE OIL PRICES RIGHT NOW? YOU KNOW, WE JUST BOMBED A COUNTRY. I DON'T YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW. ON THE WRONG PERSON. YEAH. THANKS, SHANTI. WE WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU AND YOUR STAFF DO FOR US AND TELLING US ALL THE NOT ONLY THE GOOD, BUT THE BAD AND THE UGLY. AND SO. THANK YOU. WE'LL HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT. DO THAT ONE. YEAH. NO. ALL YOU GUYS SAY.

[01:15:04]

THANKS AGAIN. SHANTI. VERY GOOD. NEXT UP WE HAVE A THE 2026 BALLOT FOR CSBA DELEGATE ASSEMBLY THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE ON. KEN, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE AS A BOARD NOMINATE SIX INDIVIDUALS FOR THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY BALLOT FROM THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY BALLOT TO BE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY REPRESENTATIVES, THE FIRST BEING CHRISTINA BEHRINGER, SECOND TOM COURTNEY, THIRD EVELYN DOMINGUEZ, FOURTH CINDY GARDNER, FIFTH STEPHANIE LEWIS AND SIXTH SCOTT WYATT.
