RECOMMENDATION:  District staff recommends that the Board authorize an expenditure of $185,583.48 for Measure O election costs that was conducted on June 3, 2014.

 

IMPACT ON RESOURCES:  Since this election cost was not a budgeted item, the expenditure will be funded from the District’s reserve account.  On February 18, 2015, the Board adopted Mid-Year Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Budget which anticipated an estimated Fund Balance of $4,118,069.  With this election expenditure of $185,583.48 funded from the reserves, the estimated Fund Balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2014-2015 will be $3,932,485.
