That item then may be discussed separately, and moved to the business agenda where appropriate.

  C. Personnel Report 5 m
     
     
  D. Finance Report 5 m
   

This is the updated Appropriations report that was reviewed with the Board and Budget Committee in early December. As noted, there will likely be a need for a budget adjustment between appropriations categories (Instruction/1000s and Support Services/2000s) in the coming month. The District has not overspent its budget, nor exceeded its spending authority. As this report shows on the first line; there are $16,127,702 in encumbrances - or possible expenditures that could be stopped; or there is $1,360,816 in budgeted, but unspent/uncommitted funds on the second line. 

The adjustment process to move expenditure authority between categories is included in Oregon Budget Law because of the need to make shifts in spending just like this as needs change. A proposed adjustment will be presented to the Board in February.

 
     
VIII. Business Agenda 7:06 PM
  A. Declaring a Vacancy
   

Due to the recent passing of Director Steve Moser, the board needs to declare a vacancy. 

Per policy, the board may appoint someone to serve the remainder of Director Moser's term. An application will be posted on the website tomorrow, January 13, and remain open for 20 days. The board may interview applicants at the February 17 PLC. The new board member will be sworn in on February 17. 

 

Eligible board members must be a legally registered voter and a resident within the district for one year immediately preceding the appointment, and a resident of Zone 1. If the an eligible zone resident cannot be found, the board shall appoint one of the eligible residents from the district.  The appointee will serve until June 30, 2027, unless they are elected in the May 2027 election.

 

Suggested Motion: I move that we declare a vacancy in Zone 1.
