  3. Plan to formally vote in June
  B. Nicole wants to submit the vote on book-to-actual in June
   

The state used to require us to submit a final budget vs. actual report, and asked that we rebudget late in the year if there were any variances over 10%. They no longer require that, but the final budget-to-actual does still go in the final pages of the audit, and the auditors note it if we are over 10% in variances. Therefore, we want this final document's vote to be as late as possible. We will have it for the June Board meeting.
