Second Interim Financial Report An update on our District’s financial status as of January 31, 2017
State Budget (as edited from First Interim) Overall, the state’s 2017-18 budget outlook is positive. The LAO estimates the LCFF target to be 99% 96% funded in 2017-18. The LAO is estimating the state’s General Fund will end 2016-17 with $11.5B $6.76B in total reserves. Statewide, new building permits for housing continue to increase albeit at a slower pace. However, locally it is still slow and getting slower.
State Budget (cont.) Although COLA increased from 1.11% to 1.48%, Gap funding decreased from 73.99% to 23.67% (just enough to add COLA to the Target Funding Level). The impact is a loss of $4.6M in revenue for 2017-18. Fiscal Crisis & Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) is cautioning districts to implement cost containment strategies now.
Second Interim Financial Report There are several changes from the 2016-17 First Interim to the Second Interim Report: Over $2.3M in additional revenue not included in the First Interim: LCFF increases of $545K due to an increase in the GAP and the Unduplicated Count, Increase of over $1.1M for the Career Technical Education Incentive Grant, Increase of $179K in lottery revenue Increase of $200K in interest revenues Increase of $276K in various grants and SELPA
Second Interim Financial Report (cont.) A $.9M decrease in expenditures: This was due mostly to decreases in salaries and benefits of $1.1M, which were decreases for vacancies partially offset by new positions and the increase in the sub rate. LCAP spending increased $427K due to additional LCAP revenues, Utilities decreased $460K Transportation decreased $207K An increase of $440K for new Grant spending
Second Interim Financial Report (cont.) In the current year, a small amount ($677K) of deficit spending is projected on the Unrestricted portion of the budget. The Restricted portion has a $4.3M deficit due to anticipated spend down of carryover balances. 2017-18 currently reflects deficit spending of $6.7M (all funds). This is partly a result of spending down categorical carryover and the increases to the employer contribution rates for STRS and PERS, as well as the addition of OVHS and increase in Routine Restricted Maintenance.
Second Interim Financial Report (cont.) Due to the volatility of the LCFF model, the District has maintained our modest increases in our Reserve for Economic Uncertainty. 2016-17 = 4.25% 2017-18 = 4.25% 2018-19 = 4.25% *Total rate is slightly below, as SELPA has elected to maintain their contribution rate at 3.0%, which creates a lower blended rate. The required minimum is 3.0%.
Second Interim Financial Report (cont.) Routine and Restricted Maintenance (“RRM”) Current law requires a minimum contribution equal to the contribution made in 2014-15 to be contributed in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 years, and 2% of General Fund expenditures for 2017-18 and 2018-19. Current Budget has approximately 1.6% for RRM. With the passage of Prop 51, the District must increase RRM to 3% for 2017-18 and beyond to access the state bond funds ($3.1M).
Second Interim Financial Report (cont.) Deferred Maintenance Under LCFF there are no matching Deferred Maintenance Funds. Districts must now budget funds from the LCFF funds. Prior to LCFF, Districts would budget .5% and the State would match (1% total). This Interim Report reflects a 1.5% ($3.8M) budget for 2016-17 through 2018-19 for additional M&O and Facilities expenses, as identified in the LCAP.
Second Interim Financial Report (cont.) The District’s COPs Debt Service Burden: $5.56M in 2016-17 $5.55M in 2017-18 $5.55M in 2018-19 The first $1.3M is coming from Redevelopment revenue and the remaining is coming from the Unrestricted General Fund. This may be offset by Developer Fee collections.
