Mr. Gatti stated enclosed in your agenda package is a copy of the minutes of the April 19, 2001 meeting. Are there any corrections, additions or deletions?

Mr. Gross stated the minutes reflect that we approved Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson to serve as special bankruptcy counsel. I thought there was never actually a vote on that. Am I remembering incorrectly?

Mr. Gatti responded we could vote on it now.

Mr. Bissell stated I know we acquiesced to it.

Mr. Cox stated we have a lot to discuss at the closed session. We may want to take care of that then.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS                        Distribution of Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2001/2002 and Consideration of Resolution 2001-4 Approving the Budget and Setting a Public Hearing

 

Mr. Mossing stated the District’s budget process is by statute a 60-day process. Typically we distribute the first draft of the proposed budget at the May meeting and do not ask for any Board input at that time. We ask that you take the next 30 days to review it. We will place “Discussion of the Proposed Budget” on the June agenda and answer any questions that the Board may have at that time. There is a resolution associated with this process. It asks the Board to approve the preliminary budget. We are only approving this budget, not adopting it. That will happen at the public hearing in July.

Mr. Gatti asked if someone were to want some detail, could they, with the Board’s permission, call your office?

Mr. Mossing responded I will leave a copy of this budget with Mr. Stephens.

Mr. Gatti stated I mean the members of the Board. Mr. Bissell has some specific questions that reference hourly rates and costs. Perhaps you could prepare a written response and distribute it to the Board at the next meeting.

Mr. Mossing stated we will send a memorandum to the Board.

Mr. Bissell stated I am just asking for information. I do not mean anything negative so please do not assume anything by it.

 

On MOTION by Mr. Bissell, seconded by Mr. Burgeson, with all in favor, the board adopted Resolution 2001-4 Approving the Approving the Budget for Fiscal Year 2001/2002 and Setting a Public Hearing for July 19, 2001 at 4:00.
