Items of note were:

GENERAL FUND
The 3rd Quarter projection was completed in June. It looks slightly more optimistic than the 2nd Quarter projection. In addition, the District received a rather sizable refund from Puget Sound Energy which was related to utility services at Wilkeson Elementary over the past several years. Since this was mostly attributable to prior years, the funds will be posted directly to the fund balance (as required by the State Auditors Office and OSPI) as a prior period correction. This will also need to be disclosed in our year-end Notes to the Financial Statements.

CAPITAL PROJECTS
Expenditures in June were for various small projects.

Revenue received in June consisted of tax collections, investment earnings and impact fees.

DEBT SERVICE FUND
In June, the biannual debt service payments were made on both the 2022 LGO and the 2016 Bond.

TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE FUND
There was no significant activity in the Transportation Vehicle Fund in June.

Director Vogel thanked everyone for all their hard work, and understands all the hard work of the past few months getting things in order and ready for the new year.  She appreciates the engagement and focus on learning.

Superintendent Harrison shared that tomorrow was WRHS Hornet Tip off and that Team Leader meetings and athletics are starting.  He also shared that Facility Use was occurring all summer long and the Community Activities program does a good job managing it all.  

It was moved by Director Scheer and seconded by Director Johnson to adjourn.  The meeting was adjourned at 4:46 pm.  Motin carried.
