Funding the Gap
Lumen has a set budget. We have set revenue sources, based on the revenue and expenses there will be a substantive gap that was anticipated. The goal is to find multi year grants to fill the revenue gap.
Discussion around the possibilities of finding larger grantors and a possible local tax strategy.
V. Closing Items
A.
Adjourn Meeting
Upcoming Opportunities:
- Non Quorum get together with SPS board
- Non Quorum get together with GLOW board
Everything is looking good. We are at 92% of total budget. Most of the expenditure categories are trending low. Certificated salaries are trending higher than classified salaries. I misclassified one employee for the year so the correction moves her from classified to certificated. I will move the remaining amount for her before the end of the year. This will cause us to be over budget in certificated salaries but also under budget in classified salaries. It does not affect our overall performance.
