D.      Approve Finance Committee meeting minutes from November 19, 2013.  M/S David Contreras, David Huerta and the committee voted to approve the meeting minutes of November 19, 2013 as drafted.

E.       Receive and Review information presented by Management staff (GM and Finance Manager) regarding ISD’s Fiscal Year 2014/2015 draft budget.  Mr. Williams and Mr. Welty displayed the current draft budget for FY 2014-2015 via PowerPoint and discussed projected revenues in detail.  Some revenue number still had to be populated and will be completed by the next meeting on the committee. Staff then went on to discuss pertinent expense line items in the proposed budget and made edits on the fly as the committee discussed items.  In particular, discussion occurred regarding 1) the draft budget does not increase the annual sewer use charge (rate), and 2) budgeting for an Assistant General Manager position beginning in July 2014. Staff indicated that not increasing the rate presents challenges for the District, such as not funding the capital expenditure reserve account, and leaving minimal room to meet the District’s minimum debt service requirement.  Staff was able to discuss about one half of the budget before the meeting was adjourned; with staff requesting any comments/edits from the committee prior to the next meeting on April 10, 2014, where a final draft budget will be presented to the committee.   

F.       Discussion of future items for the finance committee and proposed meeting dates.  Set the next Finance Committee Meeting for April 10, 2014 at 10:00a.m.


G.      Adjournment.  The meeting adjourned at 1:55 p.m.
