2004-05 BUDGET WORKSHOP
President Cunningham thanked the Board for taking
time to familiarize themselves with the budget. She also thanked
everyone at the College involved in pulling the budget together
considering there have been many challenges. President Cunningham
encouraged the Trustees to ask questions of the Deans and Executive
Leadership Team throughout the presentation. She reminded the Board
that no decisions will be made at this workshop. The 2004-05 proposed
budget will be forwarded to the Board for adoption in May.
Vice President Barbara Larson provided a
PowerPoint presentation that gave a context for the budget development
(the presentation is on file with the official Board materials.) It
highlighted the following items: fiscal year 2005 budget process;
estimated revenues; three year tuition increase proposal; fiscal year
2005 projected expenditures; capital budget transfers; planned use of
fund balance transfers; and proposed parking rate increases.
President Cunningham stated if there is a
significant change in circumstances, such as a decline in enrollment
or state appropriations, another tuition increase may be brought back
to the Board for consideration.
There was a question and answer period throughout
the presentation.
President Cunningham asked Vice President Larson
to review with the Board the possibility of adding a parking ramp.
Vice President Larson stated that there is a
possibility in the future of adding a parking ramp behind the new
administration building adjacent to the health building. A new ramp
would add 500 spaces and the costs would be approximately $18,000 per
space.
The Board briefly discussed the addition of a
parking ramp.
The Board reviewed the budget to actual history
spreadsheet, which was included in the Board packet (it is on file
