5. FINANCIAL REPORT
Linda Schumacher, Treasurer

Minutes

Treasurer Schumacher reported that the GAAP conversion should be complete by the end of the week and the audit should be finished by month-end.

The reserve in the Jefferson Health Plan decreased mainly due to larger claims for which their will be no reimbursement under the $50,00 deductible limit.

Two CDARS came due and were tolled into a 13 week and 26 week CDARs.

In the General Fund, all real estate taxes have been collected for this period and the only state reimbursements for Homestead and rollbacks that have not been received are from Richland County.  This will amount to about $108,000.  Collections were down on this collection mainly due to a decrease in delinquent collections.

Treasurer Schumacher also presented the October, 2018 Five-Year Forecast for approval of the Board.  She noted that reading the assumptions and notes to the five-year forecast are essential. She explained some of the highlights of the forecast including a modest increase in the PUPP tax collections due to the Rover Pipeline.  She noted that the actual valuations for the pipeline will be released sometime in October by the State and that definite taxes will probably not be calculated until January.  Another highlight of the presentation  concerned Unrestricted Grants-in-Aid.  This is the basic foundation monies from the State.  Due to a decrease in FTEs for FY2019, That amount will only slightly increase due to the per pupil amount increase.  Also, because of the decrease in enrollment, the Career Tech Weighted funding will decrease.  Bottom line figures show no deficit spending until FY2022
