2014-15 Budget Planning *Base expenditure budget and one-time initiatives only include enrollment growth funding. Additional budget allocations to be decided upon during URPC budget request evaluation process in February/March.
University ResourceS & Planning Committee • Introduced a Resource Request Process for 2014-15 • Aligns resource allocations with campus priorities • Provides transparency and accountability • Leads to continuous improvements • Used the PREP Planning Tool for collecting all URPC requests • Becomes a data repository for resource requests • Can align university/division/college/department planning • Requests include measurable outcomes and follow up reporting
2014-15 Process MBU: Major Budget Unit
URPC proposals • 20 proposals received • $3.9M in requests • $2.1M in base budget requests • $1.8M in one-time requests • Proposals reviewed in February • URPC is evaluating budget requests using agreed criteria • Supports HSU’s priorities • Benefits of the request • Opportunity costs • Implementation/Funding Considerations • URPC will determine funding available for 14-15 and beyond
Csu facilities funding • Entire program is in the process of being re-designed • CSU seeking legislative approval to manage capital • Allows system to re-finance existing debt • Gives authority to issue new debt up to 24% of operating fund • Encouraged by this progress but: • Will likely take much longer to finalize than anticipated – don’t anticipate funding in 2014-15 • Will require rethinking how we prioritize projects • Priority focus will be on: • Seismic • Deferred maintenance • Infrastructure • Accessibility • When funded, HSU will likely receive between $7M-$10M
Facilities working group • In Fall 2012, Facilities Working Group developed a process to collect, review and recommend campus-based projects. • Defined Campus-Based Projects • Repair, improve or change existing physical campus with minimum cost of $5K and maximum cost of $610K. • Does not apply to major capital projects • Does not apply to Chancellor’s Office grant funded projects • Does not apply to non-state or emergency repair/safety projects. • After initial ranking, projects were reviewed as a whole for long-term strategic planning
