10.21:27:16Public Hearing for the RCSD 2023-24 Proposed BudgetDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: Education Code Sections 42103, 42122, and 42127 require the Governing Board of each school district to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget prior to its adoption. The public hearing must be held no less than three working days following the availability of the proposed budget for public inspection. At the hearing, any resident in the district may appear and object to the proposed budget or any item in the budget. The RCSD proposed budget was made available for public inspection on June 16, 2023, through June 23, 2023, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The budget must include expenditures necessary to implement the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The proposed budget shows an itemized statement of all estimated revenues and expenditures for the next fiscal year and a comparison of revenue and expenditures for the current year. Beginning in the 2015-16 fiscal year, local educational agencies are required to present a statement of reasons (Board Agenda Item 10.3) that substantiate the need for an assigned and unassigned balance in excess of the minimum reserve level if projected ending fund balances include an assigned and unassigned balance in excess of the state-recommended minimum level. The district's governing board shall not finally adopt the budget until after the public hearing has been held. The RCSD Governing Board is scheduled to take action on the 2023-24 Preliminary Budget for adoption on June 28, 2023. Financial Impact: The District projects General Fund revenues of $131,906,857 and expenditures of $ 141,996,236 . The projected General Fund ending fund balance at the close of the 2023-24 fiscal year is approximately $ 20,681,906 .

10.32:03:042023-24 Statement of Reasons for Reserves in Excess of the Minimum State-Recommended LevelDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: Education Code Section 42127 (a)(2)(B) requires a statement of reasons that substantiates the need for Assigned and Unassigned ending fund balances in excess of the minimum reserve standard for economic uncertainties for the fiscal year identified in the budget. The Criteria and Standards established by the State Board of Education specify that the minimum reserve for local educational agencies are, as follows: The greater of 5% or $65,000 for districts with 0 to 300 average daily attendance (ADA) The greater of 4% or $65,000 for districts with 301 to 1,000 ADA 3% for districts with 1,001 to 30,000 ADA 2% for districts with 30,001 to 400,000 ADA 1% for districts with 400,001 and over ADA The minimum reserve levels are calculated based on total General Fund expenditures and other financing uses. Once the school district has calculated the total assigned and unassigned ending balances and the required minimum reserve level, the minimum is subtracted from the total and a positive difference is the amount in reserve that is above the minimum requirement. The Ed Code requirement is to provide the following at the public hearing for the budget adoption: The minimum reserve level required in each year The amount of assigned and unassigned ending fund balance that exceeds the minimum in each year Reasons for the reserve being greater than the minimum Attached are the Balances in Excess of Minimum Reserve Requirements for the 2023-24 fiscal year. Financial Impact: The minimum state-recommended reserve level for Redwood City School District is 3% or approximately $4.2 million. The amount in reserves above the minimum requirement is approximately $138,476.94. Submission for Approval Prepared by: Rick Edson, Chief Business Official Approved by: John R.

13.1Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - April 2023Information
Item details
Rationale: Education Code Sections 41001 and 41002 generally provide that all money received by or apportioned to a school district shall be paid into the county treasury “to be placed to the credit of the proper fund of the district.” Pursuant to California Education Code Section 41015, the District may invest all or part of funds deposited in a Special Reserve Fund or any surplus monies not required for the immediate necessities of the District in any of the investments specified in California Government Code Sections 16430 or 53601. Historically, districts in San Mateo County have been depositing all of their funds into the county treasury. The County Treasurer has made investment decisions for the school districts, which is not a unique practice statewide. School district funds on deposit with the county treasury, along with funds deposited by other agencies, are placed in a County “investment pool”, and profits and losses realized from these invested funds are shared among the pool participants in proportion to the amount invested. Financial Impact: Gross pool earnings for Month ending April 2023: 3.130% The current average maturity of the portfolio is 1.61 years with an average duration of 1.48 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.
