1. What is the target number for reductions for 2018-2019? What does that number consist of?

2. What are the options for further reductions for 2018-2019?

3. What was the total amount needed to close the books for 2016-2017, and the other large ($100k+) expenses that have emerged this year (for example, HBGB), but were not budgeted for (total amount of closing the books + unexpected expenses)?
