Ms. Walker reviewed the purpose of the audit, the letters and reports included, and pointed out various comparisons to the previous fiscal year. Overall, there were no material problems noted. Mr. White noted that the ELC had a good year for generating revenues, which is difficult for a program such as ours to accomplish. Several Board member and public questions were addressed. Mr. White also shared that Purvis Gray & Company is also contracted to complete the IRS Form 990 on behalf of the ELC. Mrs. Bosanko noted that there is a Board member questionnaire that must be completed in order for the Form 990 to be completed, and asked members to return it promptly.

Treasurer’s Report Budget vs. Actual Report - December 2016
Mrs. Bosanko presented the Treasurer’s Report. The financial reports provided were for the period of July 2016 - December 2016.
The School Readiness program is at an overall spending rate of 49.27%; Non Direct Services 49.06% and Direct Services (with Match/Advance removed) 49.33%. At this point in the year, the Coalition should be approximately 50% expended.
The Voluntary Prekindergarten program is at an overall spending rate of 51.11%; Non Direct Services 52.34% and Direct Services (with Advance removed) 51.06%. At this point in the year, the Coalition should be approximately 50% expended. The spending rate for the agency is at 49.87% with Non Direct Costs at 49.07% and Direct costs (items removed as noted above) 50.02%.
Mrs. Bosanko noted that Administrative costs are high, due to upfront costs related to the programs provided. She will continue to monitor this in upcoming months. Mrs. Bosanko also noted that the School Readiness wait list has been cleared. She noted that the impact of these enrollments will begin to be felt when the reimbursement for February is completed in the month of March.
Mrs. Bosanko shared that a match waiver was granted for Dixie, Gilchrist, and Levy Counties by the Office of Early Learning.
Executive Director’s Report Mrs. Bosanko presented the Executive Director’s report to the Board.
Mrs. Bosanko reviewed the Board member representation by county: 37.5% from Citrus, 37.5% from Dixie/Gilchrist/Levy, and 25% from Sumter. Her goal is to recruit two more members to represent Sumter County and to continue to recruit in Dixie County, to provide equal representation for all regions served by the ELCNC. Currently, private sector membership represents 37.5% of the Board.
The FY2016-2017 projected Match requirement for Citrus County is $78,225.29. The total Match committed at this time is $66,098.82. The current deficit is $12,126.47, and it is expected that funds from the Suncoast Business Masters event will cover some of that deficit.
The FY2016-2017 projected Match requirement for Sumter County is $73,692.99. The total Match commitment at this time is $7.010.98. The current deficit is $66,682.01. Mrs. Woodard is working on fundraising in Sumter County, and is planning an auction/fundraising event later this year.
The Gold Seal budget is at a projected deficit of $24,829. Mrs. Bosanko stated that she hopes to cover any deficit by shifting funds within the ELC budget later in the fiscal year.
The current School Readiness enrollment in all five counties is 1,810. There were 21 children on the wait list as of the end of December, but the wait list has been cleared. The current VPK enrollment in all five counties is 789. There is some duplication, as there are some children enrolled in both programs.
Mrs. Bosanko reviewed the sections of the report that include information on activities completed by staff in the Education Department. She noted in particular that the budget for the TIP Program is almost expended. This program offers stipends and/or reimbursement for teachers participating in training activities. She also noted that there is a high degree of compliance among providers regarding the requirements of the School Readiness and VPK programs.
Mrs. Bosanko shared a press release from the Governor’s Office, which indicates his support for increasing the budgets for various early education programs in the upcoming year.
Early Learning Coalition of the Nature CoastApril 5, 2017 Page 3
Mrs. Woodard, the PR Manager for the ELC, requested that members share information with her about any organization that might welcome a presentation about the ELC.
Matthew Brooks share that he was recently elected to serve as a County Commissioner. This will necessitate his resignation from the Board, due to the BOCC position already being filled.
Mrs. Bosanko shared with the members that Sonya Warden has expressed interest in serving on the Administrative Committee.
Brian Coleman proposed Action Item # 2016-17-15 to assign her to the Administrative Committee. JJ Kenney seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
JJ Kenney motioned to accept the Executive Director’s Report. Jeanie Davis seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
New/Unfinished Business Mrs. Bosanko proposed that the members meet for a Strategic Planning Retreat soon to discuss future goals and programmatic changes that have occurred and are likely to occur in the near future. After discussion, it was decided to poll the members to find a Wednesday morning that would work for the majority. Staff will consult the calendar, and will email members soon with possible dates. The members prefer to have this retreat prior to the April Board meeting.

3. The ELCNC’s goal is to recruit two additional Sumter County Private Sector Board Members. If the ELCNC achieves this goal, all regions will be represented equally and private sector membership will represent 44% of the Board.
4. At the request of the Board, ELC staff investigated once again the process of achieving IACET accreditation to offer CEUs for training workshops. It is very costly, and would a time-consuming process for staff. Costs include:
a. $450 to obtain the application packageb. $3250 to submit the application package for considerationc. $450 each time, if the initial application is returned for additional workd. $835 annual fee, to be billed upon approval and for each of the following four yearse. $450 + $2500 in the fifth year to reapplyf. At this time, staff do not recommend moving forward with the application process, due to budget constraints.
