What’s Next?
What’s Next? District’s ability to earn any Growth funding? System-wide structural deficit unresolved Closely monitor expenditures Prop 30 tax revenue is temporary and will start to expire in December 2016 Decreasing Budget Stabilization Fund balance Due to new ongoing costs projected to increase at a greater pace than new unrestricted revenues Multi-Year Projections: Budget Forecasting is the art of saying what will happen, and then explaining why it didn’t! MYP’s are based on what we know now
Multi-year Projections Multi-Year budget projections (pages 110 - 113) Best, worst and baseline modeling Potential large out-year issues STRS, PERS, H/W premium increases, step/column movements, utilities, etc. Yearly cost increases outpacing revenue increases Expiration of Prop 30 EPA funds starting in 2016/17 Only unrestricted revenues available to offset expenditure increases are COLA and Growth funds, absent any additional unrestricted base allocations Regardless of which assumption model chosen, Budget Stabilization Fund is estimated to be exhausted by the 2017/18 budget year
