FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Board	Discussion	and	Guidance	for
Preparation of Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget
Ms. Giles stated we are going to approve the proposed budget at your June meeting and adopt it at your August meeting both at 6:00 p.m. Jay and I work with the accountant and pull known prices in the agreements; the accountant looks at all your invoices throughout the year. I have one item that will go up on the budget and that is the engineer line. Ther are four reports that could affect the CDD and two are going to hit in 2027. One is an annual engineer’s report and that is not a requirement in this district, the other is a public facilities report and we did that in April 2022. The pond bank inspection report is good, we did that in 2025. The second report due in 2027 that is driving this cost up is your stormwater and waste 20-year needs analysis report and it is due every five years. Some of the lines will go up on the budget, some will go down. If there is anything specific the board would like us to focus on or something you want to add or discuss, now is that time. We will bring the proposed budget to the next meeting, and you can make changes to left and right and changes to lower it, just after you approve it you can’t go higher.
