Perry, Interim Chief Financial Officer/Budgeting Director, and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Sep 13, 2021 - Regular Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Fiscal Impact : Yes Budgeted : Yes Recommended Action : Motion to approve the application for Impact Aid under P.L. 81-874 for the 2021-2022 School Year naming the Authorized Representative and Core User Account Signer. Public Content P.L. 81-874 requires that School Board minutes reflect the authorized representative as part of the application process each year. Historically, the Superintendent has been designated the authorized representative to sign the application on behalf of the School Board of Okaloosa County. The application process has essentially consisted of a hard copy application signed by the Superintendent. At the January 13, 2020, School Board Meeting, this process was changed to utilize the electronic signatory system; and the Chief Financial Officer was named as the Authorized Representative and Core User Account Signer with the authority to file the Impact Aid application for fiscal year 2019-2020. The "Core User" must be an employee of the School District with the authority to sign the Impact Aid application. The appointed "Core User" will have the authority to create and manage two other users who will enter the District's detailed impact aid data into the system. The designated "Core User," with signature authority, is required to log into the system to electronically sign the finalized application. In light of the time required to complete this process, it is recommended the School Board again approve the Chief Financial Officer as the authorized representative with signature authority to file the Impact Aid application for fiscal year 2021-2022.
