financial goals of the District and how each budget category compares to last year's approved
budget. At the conclusion of the overview Director Black commented that the total proposed
budget is a 50% reduction of last year's approved budget, at $1,032,570.00.
Director Black stated the North DPS Facility construction is scheduled throughout the CIP
through FY 06-07; the East DPS Facility land purchase is included in FY 04-05, and the East
DPS site Design and Construction is scheduled for FY 06-07 through FY 07-08 with a reserve of
an anticipated minimum of $1,336,269. In summary, he stated the proposed budget is consistent
with articulated District Strategies, the proposed budget is fiscally responsible, and the budget
allows Southlake DPS to move forward with important initiatives utilizing a dedicated funding
source, which does not impact Southlake's property tax rate. Director Black also clarified Board
Member questions that the excess North land sale remains scheduled for 06/07, which is after the
North construction is complete, and the finalization of the East land purchased should occur in
