8.a. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT: Speaker(s): Dr. Gregory C. Nelson, and Jessica Crabb, Asst. Superintendent/CFO Description: The administration recommends approval of the proposed budget amendment for the current fiscal year. Budget amendments are necessary to ensure that the District's financial records accurately reflect anticipated revenues and expenditures and remain in compliance with state budgeting requirements. The proposed amendment adjusts appropriations between functions and/or funds to account for operational needs, grant expenditures, staffing adjustments, capital purchases, or other expenditures that were not included in the original adopted budget. The administration has reviewed the proposed amendment and determined that the changes are necessary to support district operations while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Approval of the budget amendment will authorize the revision of the District's official budget and ensure that expenditures remain within legally adopted spending authority.
