Agenda Item
H.-2 25-2678 Discussion by the Budget and Finance Committee, with Chief Business Officer or designee(s) of an Update on Resolution No. 2526-0177: Directing the Preparation of Budget Scenarios to Address OUSD's Structural Deficit; and the Adopted as Amended Resolution No. 2526-0177 Directing the Preparation of Budget Scenarios to Address District's Projected Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28 Structural Deficit.
Thank you OUSD staff for the grid to update actions on Resolution 25-2678! I believe it will help all those participating in the discussion and decision-making keep track of the various components. I would also like to see the district's proposals come to the Board in groups/chunks, as it will not be equally difficult to achieve consensus on all of areas. I believe this sectioned approach could result in more time for productive discussion on the more difficult areas. As to concerns raised over the request for additional reporting and trigger warnings: I do not know that the trigger warnings are especially useful. However, I can see the use of Variance Reports more often than the Interims.I suggest: one to go along with the UnAudited Actuals, one to go along with (or occur at the time of) a third interim, and one between January and March, so there is never more than 2 months without an update. "Red Light" concerns for particular areas could be presented at each.
