Extended emergency declaration – Lauri Dannemiller
Director Dannemiller shared with the Board a timeline of events and responses the District has undertaken from the beginning of March to date, and projections and plans for the coming weeks and months. She covered cleaning protocols, facility closures, emergency declarations, facility and programmatic assessments, communications and planning protocols, and financial assessment/projections and recommendations for payroll and expenditures. The District must plan to be a in a position to address needs as they arise since this situation is changing day by day. The District has developed a programmatic matrix to assist us in managing and tracking how we are making decisions. Staff has been asked to estimate projected reduced revenue throughout the remainder 2020, which at this time is approximately a 30% reduction or $4.2 million. Staff is also estimating the reduction in expenses to offset those revenue losses. Tonight Ms. Dannemiller is asking the Board to proceed with capital projects transfer and the “low-hanging fruit” of suspension of professional development, contracts for consultants, activity guide publication, and cleaning contracts. Other recommendations will be tabled until next week.
MOTION: Director Pyne moved to approve the District proceeding with elimination of the “low-hanging fruit.” Director Allen seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
MOTION: Director Pyne moved to approve APRD2020-10 Resolution to Amend 2019 Budget. Director Allen seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
