11.2014-15 BUDGETM/S/C (Doyle/Edgar)The Board of Trustees unanimously approved the final budget for the fiscal year 2014-15.Vice President of Business Services Doug Roberts gave a presentation on the 2014-15 Budget.He gave a breakdown of what the college can expect to receive in new state funding this year.He discussed how the shortfall in FTES generated during 2013-14 impacted reportable FTESfor 2014-15, and, based on current projections, that the college will not be eligible for anyGrowth Funds available for 2014-15, and that the District will likely be on stability. Robertsexplained that in the first year on stability, SRJC will not see any reduction in funding in spite ofreporting FTES numbers below base funding levels. However, the College needs to ramp upenrollment for 2015-16 to get off of stability that year, or else risk losing funding.He discussed how the District unexpectedly received additional revenues in 2013-14, due to thestate’s mid-year change to 2012-13 deficit funding. As a result of this fortuitous event, the 201314 spend-down of fund balance was limited to approximately 200,000. Roberts cautioned thata similar-sized reoccurrence was not possible in 2014-15, due to significant changes in budgetassumptions.Based on budgeted revenues and expenditures the college is going to spend roughly 6.2million in excess of revenue. Fortunately, because of the starting fund balance for 2014-15 thecollege should have slightly more than a 5% reserve at year end.Trustee Kunde asked Roberts to clarify the number of students we are short on FTES and howthe state distributes growth funding. Roberts stated that we were 1,100 short on FTES andexplained that the state will redistribute the unused growth funding of one district to others whoreport more than 2.75% growth.Trustee Doyle asked Roberts to clarify why SRJC is not spending portions of the Bond MeasureA funding, which he explained is being set aside for the future care of buildings built withMeasure A funds.Trustee Burdo asked if money was being set aside for technology, which it is.Trustee Call stressed his concern about how close the SRJC is coming to the 5% reserve fundbalance.INFORMATION12.UNITED WAY GIVING CAMPAIGN 2015Mike Kallhoff, of United Way, made a brief presentation on the 2015 Giving Campaign. Hereviewed United Way’s history as well as SRJC’s contributions, which totals over 350,000 fromemployees alone. He ended by encouraging SRJC to stay involved using United Way’s newonline model.13.STUDENT SUCCESS AND SUPPORT PROGRAM PLAN AND STUDENT EQUITY PLANUPDATEVice President of Student Services Ricardo Navarette and Li Collier, Dean of Student Successand Retention, provided an update on the progress of the Student Success and SupportProgram (SSSP) Plan and Student Equity (SE) Plan.Navarette introduced both programs. The state’s priority of both programs is to increase accessto community colleges, to keep students progressing toward a goal and for students to completethose goals by graduating and/or moving on to four-year colleges.
