Becoming a Multi-Site College • Study Session for Governing Board - January • Becoming a Multi-Site College • Transition from single campus college to multi-site college • Gradual, evolutionary change • State approval process • Education Center at Marina opens Fall 2011 • Requires long-term program planning
New Governor – New Approach • Vows to make Californians live within their means • Initial proposal for CCs = $400M apportionment reduction [6.8%] • Increase in student fees to $36/unit • More inter-year deferrals = cash flow issue • No COLA [1.67%] • No mid-year cuts [2010-2011] • No further cuts to categorical funds
Far From Certain • Governor’s proposal assumes extension of current taxes by popular vote in June • Results in a wide spectrum of potential cuts • Apparent “Best Case” = -$1.9M to MPC • Apparent “Worse Case” = -$5.1M to MPC • Final reduction could fall between the two • Appears to be a permanent “workload reduction” – lowers the enrollment cap • Governor’s proposal has an expedited calendar
How to Respond? • Develop a budget response that does more than meet the current budget – look to the future • Will require further review of offerings & operations • Emphasis remains on Basic Skills/GE/CTE • Forced priorities • Goal of developing an FTES target that positions us for restoration – smaller program with less breadth
Multi-Pronged Approach • Develop a budget response characterized by flexibility – phases implemented in context • Fall registration must be delayed • All position openings under review • All major cost factors under review • Forums/negotiations will be held as plans develop • College Council must meet in summer
Anticipated Schedule • Governor has called for “mini budget” by March 1 [decision point] • MPC develops budget response in response to Legislature’s decision throughout spring • Possible Special Election in June [decision point] • Tentative budget to Board in June • Final budget to Board in August • Schedule may stress governance system - summer budget decisions likely
Two Thoughts • Hope is not a sound financial plan • It’s best not to assume things are impossible
