IX.F. Resolution No. 21/22-50 – Designating Certain General Funds as Committed Fund Balance

Speaker:
Ralph Peschek, Chief Business Officer
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Resolution No. 21/22-50 designating certain general funds as committed fund balance is presented for approval.
Rationale:
The 2021/22 enacted state budget provided deposits into the Proposition 98 rainy day fund that bring the balance in the fund to $6.4 billion, triggering the local 10 percent reserve cap in the following year (2022/23). The Governor’s proposed budget for 2022/23 makes an additional deposit to the rainy day fund, which ensures that the local reserve cap will remain in place for the foreseeable future. On March 17, 2022, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction issued a “Notification of School District Reserve Cap Requirements 2022/23 Fiscal Year,” which affirms that the cap on local reserves is effective with the 2022/23 fiscal year.

The local reserve 10 percent figure is measured as a percentage of total general fund expenditures, transfers out, and other uses. This is the same as the computation used to determine a local district’s minimum reserve level or reserve for economic uncertainties (sometimes also known as designated for economic uncertainties). Assigned and unassigned fund balances in the Special Reserve Fund for Other than Capital Outlay Projects (Fund 17) are added to the General Fund to determine total reserves subject to the cap. Excluded from the reserve computation are the non-spendable, restricted, and committed components of the fund balance.

As stated above, the committed fund balance is exempt from the 10 percent local reserve calculation. For amounts to be committed, Board action must take place before the end of the reporting period; however, the amount can be determined in the subsequent period. The attached resolution reflects commitments for June 30, 2023.

In committing funds for a specific purpose by resolution, the Board establishes compliance with the 10 percent local reserve cap for 2022/23. This resolution is a preliminary measure, and the amounts are estimated. The committed fund’s amounts will be finalized prior to September 1, 2023, per GASB 54 rules.

Attachments:
GASB-54 Committed Funds 2022-2023
X. Second Closed Session

Quick Summary / Abstract:
This Closed Session will be used as an extension of item IV – First Closed Session, if needed.

XI. Return to Public Session/Adjournment
