A public hearing on a proposed supplemental budget for Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District for the current fiscal year will be held at the District office, 221 Molalla Ave., Suite 102, Oregon City, OR 97045. The hearing will take place on Tuesday, March 20, 2018, at 4:00 pm.
Purpose
The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the supplemental budget with interested persons. A copy of the supplemental budget document may be inspected or obtained on or after March 14, 2018, at the District office (address above) between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm and on the District’s website at https://conservationdistrict.org.
The proposed supplemental budget deals with two significant changes: a loan to purchase land to protect and restore habitat, and changes to the budget for the District’s proposed construction of a new service facility.
Loan to acquire habitat land
The District anticipates receiving a $1.3 million loan to purchase a 300+ acre forested property for the purpose of restoring and protecting fish and wildlife habitat values. This opportunity was not foreseen at the time the budget was adopted. Resources and Requirements in the Working Lands Legacy Fund are increased by $1,170,878.
Besides the loan, changes to the Fund’s Resources are: an increase in the beginning fund balance, and reductions in transfers from General Fund, interest earned, and grants to acquire/maintain land and/or conservation easements.
Changes to Requirements are: increases in capital outlay (acquisition of property) and unappropriated ending fund balance, and reductions in materials and services and in funds reserved for future expenditure.
Change in construction timeline
The timeline for construction of the District’s new Conservation Resource Center has been extended, with most of the expenses to occur during FY 2018-19 and 2019-20 instead of during FY 2017-18. This change in timeline was not foreseen at the time the budget was adopted.
Resources and Requirements in the Building Reserve Fund are reduced by $99,869.
Changes to the Fund’s Resources are: reductions in the beginning fund balance and in transfers from General Fund.
Changes to Requirements are: reductions in capital outlay, materials and services, and debt service; and increases in unappropriated ending fund balance and in funds reserved for future expenditure.
