FY 20-21 budgets. We are not seeking that extension. We are confident that we will have enough information to complete our budget. Sales Tax Revenues will be the biggest question mark in the coming budget. To buy ourselves time to see the impacts of the economic downturn we have already cut most new position and reclassification requests. We have determined that funding the COLA and pay plan are our priorities with the staff. We will also hold equipment and smaller capital purchases until January 1, 2021. This will give us time to see the true impacts on our revenues from the downturn and allow us to make adjustments at that time. Future Capital Projects — I have informed the LCBOE and CCCC, that the Library and Classroom for the Lee Early College project has been delayed due to the uncertainties surrounding our current economic situation. On the same timeline as our annual budget, we will re-evaluate the economy in the December-January period to see if moving forward is the right thing to do. The Commissioners also need to review the Multi-sports complex bond referendum. Other local governments have or are considering cancelling their referendums in November. There is a lot to consider in keeping this referendum on the ballot. If this referendum is cancelled, the earliest this project could be considered again on a ballot is March 2022. Essentially a delay would add two more years to when this project could be completed. A lot of effort goes into a referendum. The current environment we are now in may make this referendum unpopular with the public. A lot of different factors need to be considered when making this decision.
