II. ACTION ITEMS
A. Discussion and consideration to revise Board action taken at a regular meeting on July 5, 2007 in regards to the adoption
of the FY08 Expenditure Budget
Ø Mr. Nenne explained that at the regular meeting held on July 5, 2007 the Board adopted a budget that was incorrect. This emergency meeting was called to revise the previous action. He asked Ms. Gebler to explain the situation further.
Ø Ms. Gebler noted that recently errors were found in the budget that was proposed to and approved by the Board on June 13, 2007. This budget was subsequently published in the Williams News. Prior to the meeting last evening she corrected the errors and believed that the Board could adopt the budget with the corrections. However, the district Audit Team and staff at the Arizona Department of Education informed her that the Board can only adopt the budget that was originally proposed, approved and published. Therefore, she is asking the Board to adopt the budget that was proposed and approved on June 13, 2007 in place of the one adopted last evening.
Ø She indicated that the District will receive a letter from the Department of Education indicating that an error was found and direction will be given to revise the budget during FY 08.
Ø Motion by Mr. Parenteau to adopt the FY 08 budget as proposed and approved by the Board on June 13, 2007, second by Mrs. Nelson. Motion approved 4-0.
III. ADJOURNMENT
Ø Motion by Mr. Parenteau to adjourn the Emergency Meeting, second by Mrs. Nelson. Motion approved
4-0.
