How ICCSD raises and spends money — annual budgets, property tax levies, audits, fund balances, and significant transfers. The Financial Oversight Committee meets monthly and most line items land in regular board meetings as consent-agenda approvals.

## Open questions

Questions worth digging into across the underlying records:

- What does the FY24 audit, when presented in July 2026, say about ICCSD's actual financial position?
- How much will be raised by the three 2026 property sales, and how is it being applied?
- What does the FY27 line-item budget look like once Pat Moore's new monthly close process and full audit results are incorporated?
- How has the property-tax levy moved year over year, and what drove the changes?
