FINANCIAL REPORT
Minutes
Treasurer Schumacher reported that 2 payments had been recorded in one month on the Jefferson Health Plan which caused the reserve to increase. A $375,000 internal pool reimbursement was received in March and will be recorded on March's financial statement.
The March CDAR was rolled into a 6 month CDAR at 2.51%.
Mrs. Schumacher recounted that the estimated interest income for the general fund fir FY19 was $250,000. At the end of February Pioneer had received $234,000 in general fund interest income and $262,000 overall. She shared that for May' five-year forecast, the interest income for FY20 will be estimated near the actual interest income for FY19. This is due to the fact that the Feds are not planning on raising interest during 2019.
The Board was given a reminder that the negative balances in the grant accounts are due to the law change a few years ago stating that all grant drawdowns must be spent within five days of receipt. Pioneer has chosen to request drawdowns after expenditures have already been made.
The transfer from the general fund into the 034 Maintenance fund was made in February. The transfer to the 003 Permanent Improvement fund will be made in March.
Treasurer Schumacher reported that the first advance of property taxes has been received form Richland County in the amount of $322,000.
After speaking with Mr. Hartwell in distribution, Mrs. Schumacher reported that a $65,000 adjustment on Line Item 3.04 on the General Fund Revenue & Expenses Statement will be made for Uniform expenses and that adjustment will bring the expenditure back down to 70% of estimated costs.
Treasurer Schumacher reported that Governor Dewine held a press conference, Friday, March 15, 2019, to release the details of his FY20/21 biennial budget. While the budget bill language is not yet available, dollar amounts for each line item have been released. The House will begin hearings on the governor's budget even before the bill language becomes available.
Mrs. Schumacher informed the Board that a night depository will be installed near the High School office for those labs that have change for their customer service centers.
