Consent Agenda Item: Policy 872 Inventory Records of Fixed Assets
MEMO NOTE:We are updating this policy to more fully identify what types of records must be maintained by a district when property is purchased using federal funds. We have added definitions, based on those found in 2 CFR §200.01, as well as specific requirements related to the types of information that must be maintained on property purchased with federal funds. Federal regulations require a physical inventory to be taken and reconciled with property records at least once every two years. For other property, we have included an optional annual physical inventory requirement. Also, with respect to property purchased with federal funds, we have added requirements related to use, maintenance, and disposal, based on requirements in federal regulations. Legal references are also updated.

H.
Consent Agenda Item: Policy 922 Acquisition and Sale of Real Property
MEMO NOTE: We are updating this policy to include the provisions from policy 920, relating to the acquisition and sale of personal property. Since Idaho Code §33-601 addresses the sale of both real and personal property, and the procedures for purchase and sale of both are largely the same, we determined it was appropriate to combine the two policies so all requirements are in one policy. We have also added a section on purchase and disposal of equipment under federal awards, since there is currently no other policy that addresses these requirements under federal law. We have updated the legal references to identify the CFR sections where the disposal and expenditure regulations relating to equipment are found.

DISCUSSION ITEMS:
2025- 2026 Audit Update. We have several pending items needed to complete the audit. We received our GASB 75 valuation report on Oct 15 which was one pending item. The district needs to finalize the fixed asset report and the management discussion and analysis. The auditor is still working on the federal programs single audit as well as preparing the financial statement and closing entries. The Federal Government has only released a draft of their OMB circular for the single audit. The report cannot be finalized until the Feds release the final version. Our audit report is due to the State by November 10th, but the state won't withhold the district's November payment if we are waiting on the Feds to release the OMB circular.
