• 2018 ‐ 2019 Process began for funding a Capital Reserve Fund • Purpose of the fund is to set funding aside for the immediate and longer term needs for maintenance and upkeep of district facilities. • 2018 completed a facility condition assessment that identified 650+ projects at a total estimated cost of $37M over the next 20 years. • Current funding available in the fund is $2.9M • Estimated that an additional $2M will be available to transfer into the fund in November 2019. Capital Reserve Fund • Additionally the General Fund has a committed fund balance of $1,760,000. Budget • Completed the list of immediate projects for 2019 ‐ 2020 and this budget reflects those needs. • Athletic facility review is still being completed • This budget may need to be updated once that is complete. • Capital Reserve Fund does not require the same level of budget authorization as General Fund. • Best practice is to complete an annual budget for this fund for an agreed to spending plan. • A 5 year plan is still being reviewed and will be made available when complete.
