FY 2008-09 Adopted Expenditures (General Operating Fund) Operating Expenditures = $95,130,077
Two Year Operating Expenditure Comparison FY 2007-08 Actuals FY 2008-09 Adopted
$4.4 million in Capital Costs, $3.9 of this Funded through Fund Balance FY 2008-09 Adopted Revenues = $91,237,506 Adopted Expenditures = $95,237,506 Diff. from Fund Balance = ($3,892,571)
Fund Balance Why do Public Organizations need Fund Balances? • Revenues are not always timed to match expenditure cycle (tuition revenue 3 times per year, yet payroll runs every 2 weeks) • Ability to build reserves for large capital projects without debt financing. • A contingency for the unexpected (e.g., hurricane) or an unfunded opportunity.
HCC’s Unallocated, Unreserved Fund Balance at June 30, 2009 • Projected Unallocated/Unreserved Fund Balance at June 30, 2009 = $11,187,905 • Average Monthly Personnel Expenditures = +$5.4 million • Average Monthly Operational Expenditures = + $7.9 million • Unallocated, Unreserved Fund balance approximates 42 Days of Operations
Current Budget Projection is not Sustainable in Future Years Funding Gap
Preparing Now for 2009-2010 Balanced Budget • While too early to know, State Revenues May Decline another $2 to $5 Million Dollars Next Year • How do we sustain our Core mission, maintain equipment and facilities, and fund new Initiatives?
FY 2008-09 Current Expenses $25,198,352 Housekeeping , Security Contracts, Grounds, Memberships, Advertising, Etc.
Hillsborough Community College General Fund Revenue History, Adopted FY 2008-09
The Perfect Storm? • Flat or Declining Revenues while • Salaries and Benefit Costs Increase • TECO Energy rates expected to Increase 10 to 20% beginning January 2009 (College’s Electricity Budget is $4,066,916 in FY 2008-09) • First Full-year of SouthShore Operation • Other inflationary increases driven by rising fuel costs
How we had Addressed the Problem • Early Planning– Board Adopted Goal to Reduce Percentage of Budget for Institutional Support • FY 2003-04 19.30% • FY 2004-05 20.56% • FY 2005-06 22.00% • FY 2006-07 20.87% • FY 2007-08?
Eliminated 15 Non-Instructional Positions • 7 From District Functions • 1 from Brandon • 2 from Dale Mabry • 2 from Plant City • 1 from SouthShore • 2 from Ybor City
Other 2007-08 Budget Reductions Campuses and District Functions reduced by varying percentages to spare direct instruction as much as possible: • Campus $ Reduction % Reduction • Brandon ($75,252) -0.86% • Dale Mabry ($232,000) -0.96% • Plant City ($225,978) -3.26% • Ybor City ($211,749) -1.62% • South Shore ($85,000) -6.74% • District ($1,118,576) -4.15% • TOTAL ($2,148,555) -2.64%
2008-09 Reductions Included • Decrease in Insurance Premium ≈ $163,556 • Reduction in Copier Lease (moved to Purchase) ≈ $150,000 • Collection Costs Recovered from Students ≈ $75,000 • Payoff of WT Edwards Loan ($78,000 in recurring debt service payments) • Elimination of non-faculty positions, salary savings and reorganizations ≈ $802,000
Other Considerations Examining Utilities– Rules of thumb--for every degree change in AC or heating there is a cost impact of 2% savings or increase. At current rates, 2% reduction yields $80,000!
As a result of various cost-cutting measures we were able to set aside $3 million in non-recurring dollars for various future projects
$3,000,000 in Non-Recurring Projects • $750,000 for Enrollment Growth Contingency • $350,000 for Enhanced Web-based Student Services • $300,000 for Strategic Planning Objectives • $475,000 for Disaster Recovery, Phase II • $345,000 for Imaging Project, Year 3 • $500,000 for Improved Infrastructure to support Security Operations • $280,000 for Non-Instructional Equipment & Technology
Why are we building and renovating buildings during difficult financial times? • Why are we purchasing new and replacement equipment in classrooms and labs?
Different funding streams support different College activities. • Most large construction projects are 100% supported by State Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) funding. • The Student’s Capital Improvement Fee (currently $6.26 per credit hour for Residents) funds classroom equipment and capital improvements, and will raise $2.8 million this year. • The Student Activity Fee, also currently $6.26 per hour, is expected to raise $2.8 million in FY 2008-09.
We Need Your Input • How do we collectively address the College’s financial challenges and emerge as a stronger institution? • Gathering ideas (through College and campus meetings and in the Budget Ideas Forum Blog on Campus Cruiser) • Reporting back to the College community on which ideas may be implemented, with projected costs or new revenues resulting from them. • Planning for a balanced budget for 2009-10 “Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of an idea is an obstacle.”- Ken Hakuta
