  • Permits discussed (enrollment)
  • Suggestion was made to fund retiree benefits
    • 2025 � Redevelopment Project Area #2 funding stops
    • Consensus is to consider funding these benefits from workers� comp savings if 2006-07 savings are not an anomaly
  • Special Education discussed
    • Workers� Comp lowered $764,000 in unrestricted funds; this was partially offset by Special Ed costs of $375,000
  • Future decline in revenue because of lower ADA

 

Project List

  • List was reviewed and discussed
  • Alan Elmont asked about holding down maintenance costs for a time period in order to reduce General Fund expenses.� By statute, maintenance expenses must be a minimum of 2 �% to 3% of total budget.� CCUSD actually must spend more as we are barely reaching the minimum requirement.
