A. Lisa Zmeskel (CPA for Hoffman and Brobst) presented the FY17 Audit Report

Highlights:

1. Expenditures and other financing uses exceeded revenues and other financing by

$206,948 in the General Fund.

2. The unassigned fund balance increased $46,127 to $1,574,762. The unassigned fund

balance in the general fund amounts to slightly more than two months of operating

expenditures which meets the Districts fund balance goal of two months operating

expenditures.

The District’s Future:

1. In November of 2016 the district voters approved a referendum that increased the

revenue authorization to $760 per pupil unit.

2. The legislature approved a foundation formula increase for 2017-18 and 2018-

2019.

3. The majority of the district’s labor contracts are in effect for two year periods.

The contracts are in effect for the two-year period ending June 30, 2019.

4. The district incurred total costs of $287,968 for renovations to the VMC. The

district received donations of $21,216 from boosters and the city of Tracy and

$75,000 from Sanford to defray a portion of the overall cost of the project. These

costs, offset by the donations and grant, are being deferred and amortized over the

12-year term of the agreement with the City of Tracy. The District will not be

charged rent for 12 years.

5. The Districts future projections reflect a declining enrollment through 2019-2020
