Cost apportionment - Finance Director Elton provided the following proposal which
would address the revenue side of this issue: put the district's revenue in fund 641
instead of fund 612 when it is billed which would allow the district's revenue to be
separated, then fund 641 can make a payment to fund 612. Director Elton will review
this with finance staff to ensure feasibility, the ad hoc committees will review, and it
will be brought back at budget adoption meeting. 7:10:04 PM
