Revenue Recommendations

 Increase property taxes

to the levy limit per tax cap legislation

 For 2020-2021, increase

• f approximately 2.86%.

 This continues the

district's practice of gradually building capacity in the local revenue budget to support

financial sustainability

 $1.1 million in restricted

reserves

 $840,000 in appropriated

fund balance to support the budget.

budget years.

 Expectation to limit

reserve use and not create an unsustainable long-term deficit.
