6. REGULAR AGENDA
A. 2022 Annual Operating Budget Proposal
Recommendation: Discussion. Accept and approve the 2022 HERO Center annual
budget proposal.
- Roland advised that the RSO staff budget is less in 2022 due to better defined staffing
costs with the decrease of range hours on the weekend. Also noted necessary staff
training such as CPR renewals and Instructor renewals that are all due in 2022.
- Gridley inquired about adjusting the revenue over expenditures for 2022 to be more
conservative and inclusive of Rasmussen potentially not having their 5th cohort. Not having
the 5th cohort (worth $36,110.00) would reduce the current $44,710.00 revenue over
expenditures number to $8,600.00.
- Roland agreed to adjust the 2022 revenue expenditure to reflect 4 out of 5 cohorts for
Rasmussen.
- Anselment advised that the solicitation awards held by the Federal government may not
use 100% of their funds causing a deficit in the funds assumed for 2022.
- Rinzel suggested accounting for 80% of the Federal funds instead of 100% -No motion
conducted.
- Roland advised that the initial net assumption for the partners without Rasmussen’s
contract displayed a loss of $191,000.00 yet, with the new Rasmussen contract there is a
potential of $100,000.00 profit and a $0.00 net assumption for both Cottage Grove and
Woodbury.
- Gridley inquired about the 2019 and 2020 deficits that the partner cities had paid.
- Roland advised that Cottage Grove paid $126,000.00 for 2019 and 2020 combined and
that Woodbury paid $116,000.00 for 2020.
- Anselment discussed the HR fee for 2022 and Roland advised that IT and HR are a
combined fee already allocated under 2900-4321 for $15,000.
- Anselment discussed utilities and advised that there is not enough historical data at this
time yet, it has been estimated from the current monthly usage. The utilities are estimated
to be ~$86,000.00 for 2022.
- Anselment advised that the shoot range should have a lead hazard reduction deep
cleaning every other year on the even year. This will include a deep cleaning of the walls,
floors, ducts, and ceilings.
- Gridley suggested creating a depreciation fund within the next ~5 years to assist with
replacements and repairs as the building ages.
