Agenda

     
I. Opening Items
 
Opening Items
  A. Record Attendance and Guests
  B. Call the Meeting to Order
  C. Approve Minutes of the April 19 2022 Regular Meeting, and May 3, 2022 Special Meeting of the Finance Committee
II. Operations Update
  A. COO Report on Operations
   

Dan will present the May COO Report.  

 

 

 

  B. Internal Controls Policy
   

We are going to defer this item to another month, in the interest of time.

III. Financial Report
  A. April 30, 2022 Interim Financial Statements
   

Trish Strong will present the financial statements as of April 30, 2022. 

 

 

  B. FY23 Budget (and aligned Five Year Financial Model)
   

Dan and Trish will present the Administration's proposed FY23 Draft Budget, for Committee review and comment. Presented alongside FY23's proposed budget will be a long-term Financial Model covering FY24, FY25, and FY26 as well as FY23.  A proposed staffing chart is provided as well.  

 

Admin is recommending EMSA seek bond financing in the amount of $13.5 million, in order both to develop the Administration Building as the Fourth EMSA Building, and cushion EMSA's cash balance and operations from the effects of P&I payments on debt for an 18-month period.  Also shown is a financial projection in the event EMSA cannot borrow in the bond market.  This is less favorable, but presented for discussion.

 

Separately, a second file is attached, which is identical to the first in all respects except one - in the second file, an Executive Director position has been incorporated, beginning in FY23 and extending through FY26.
