August saw EAB expend many additional hours, both on the Financial and HR sides, for support of EMSA, for a variety of reasons.

On the HR side, this was $15,907.50 of additional billing, or 176.50 additional hours.  On the Finance side, this was $12,870 of additional billing, or 143.00 hours.

September saw a moderate overrage billing on the HR side only ($3,892.50 or 43.25 hours of additional time) for the same set of reasons as did August.  October saw overrage billing on the HR side only of $5,085.00 for 56.5 additional hours.  This October overrage time resulted from an investigation of a staff complaint firstly, and secondly from HR support for HR-heavy annual administrative compliance reporting.  

The Finance Committee will consider its contractual obligations, the circumstances of the overrage billing, the way in which billing is described/itemized, and vote on whether to authorize this overrage expense be paid.  The Committee will also consider strategies to avoid such overage in the future.    

Construction is nearly finished.  EMSA is awaiting the next pay package, to allow for Draw #8 to be funded.  

Two items approved by the Board on September 30th are being carried out (as the cost was less than that approved on the 30th):

1.  $7,250 for Kellenberger to install a drain at the low spot in the asphalt outside the Gym Building, connected by pipe to the storm drain nearby.

2.  $6,020 for a combination of soil erosion blanket, soil, hundreds of plugs of new plants, native seeds, and drain pipe solutions for four downspounts all on the north face of the Gym Building. 



 

This is a priority for the Committee.  Dan Alexander and Shanan Egger are beginning to develop a draft revised set of Policies and Procedures for all of Elgin Math & Science Academy.

The next Regular Meeting of the Finance Committee will be December 21st.
