  3. Budget Allocation Process

  4. State Budget Status • Jan 10: Governor releases prop. 2011/12 budget. • Mar 18: Legislature passes 2011/12 Budget Act, cutting $14 billion in spending, but does not approve special election to extend taxes expiring Jun 30. • Mar 24: Governor signs Budget Act. • Mar 29: Governor ends negotiations with Republican legislators to call special election. • For California Community Colleges: • $290 million cut to apportionment and workload • $10 increase in enrollment fee per unit, effective Fall 2011

  5. State Budget Status (cont.) • Feb 10: Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) issues memo identifying $13.5 billion in budget solutions, including these affecting community colleges: • $685 million in total funding cuts and revenues on top of Governor’s $400 million solutions • 90-unit cap per student on state-funded credits ($250 mil) • Increase enrollment fees to $66 a unit ($170 mil) • Reduce rate for credit basic skills to rate for non-credit basic skills ($125 mil) • No funding for intercollegiate athletics ($55 mil) • No funding for repetition of credit PE & fine arts (‘activity’) classes ($55 mil) • No funding for non-credit PE & fine arts (‘activity’) ($30 mil)

  6. LACCD Budget—Impacts • Budget Act (assumes extension of tax rates): • Loss of $25.76 million in state apportionment • Reduction of 5,828 full-time equivalent students (FTES) • Depletion of reserves from $87.2 to $70.9 million • Worst-case scenario (all cuts; LAO proposal): • Loss of $71.51 million in state apportionment • Reduction of 16,178 FTES • Depletion of reserves from $87.2 to $25.2 million • Tentative Budget Plan: • All-cuts budget is likely (but no state allocation yet) • Prepare Tentative Budget based on Budget Act (‘Scenario 1’) but prepare for worst-case (‘Scenario 2’)

  7. LACCD Budget—Allocation Model • LACCD follows SB 361 funding formula to distribute state general revenue to colleges, with some modifications • Each college receives basic or ‘foundation’ allocation based on college size (FY2010/11 funding rates shown): • FTES>= 20,000 $4,428,727 large college • FTES 10,000-19,999 $3,875,136 medium college • FTES < 10,000 $3,321,545 small college • Non-SB 361: Small colleges receive supplement of $553,591 (FY2010/11) to their foundation funding; Trade-Tech receives $500,000 for high-cost programs • In addition to foundation funding, each college receives funding for credit, noncredit and enhanced noncredit FTES at state-funded rates (FY2010/11 funding rates shown): • Credit FTES $4,564.83 • Non-credit FTES $2,744.96 • Career development & college prep (CDCP) $3,232.07

  8. LACCD Budget—Allocation Model (cont.) • Base funding = foundation funding + per-FTES funding • If budgeted by the state, funding for enrollment growth is provided to colleges at per-FTES rates, and up to percentage caps, set by the state. • All rates adjusted by state-declared COLA, except Trade-Tech’s supplement • Lottery revenue distributed based on prior-year FTES • Other revenues: Non-resident tuition, dedicated • Each college is assessed for centralized and District Office services and 5% District Contingency Reserve based on share of total FTES • Balances are retained by colleges and District Office

  9. LACCD Budget—Unrestricted GFScenario 1

  10. LACCD Budget—Unrestricted GFScenario 1 (cont.)

  11. LACCD Budget—Unrestricted GFScenario 2

  12. LACCD Budget—Unrestricted GFScenario 2 (cont.)

  13. Budget vs. Expenditures • Budget = expected revenues • Expenditures = actual or projected spending on wages, benefits, printing/supplies, contracts/utilities, equipment, offsets of other fund deficits • Most of the LACCD colleges spend beyond their current year’s budget allocation: • Those with prior-year surpluses may use a portion of those balances • Others generate a deficit that is covered by the District’s reserves and must be repaid over several years • In order to balance to reduced state funding for 2011/12 the colleges and district office must cut their spending, not just their budgets

  14. Budget vs. Expenditures (cont.) • Spending-reduction targets for 2011/12 have been calculated in different ways by the colleges: • 5% of 2009/10 actual expenditures • 5% of 2010/11 projected expenditures • Difference between 2011/12 projected expenditures and 2011/12 budget allocation • Pierce used the third method to calculate its spending-cut target at $7.7 mil.

  15. Possible Budget Solutions--Pierce

  16. FPRC Recommendations • Districtwide reduction targets were calculated at $34.37 million while $23.35 million in solutions were proposed, leaving a gap of $11 million • In response, the District Fiscal Policy Review Committee (FPRC) adopted the following recommendations: • Colleges must submit realistic budgets reflecting 5% cuts • Allow colleges to use up to $5 million of their fund balances to cover remaining shortfall • Colleges may request access to District balances after meeting all of the following criteria: 1. Cut at least 5% of 2010/11 expenditures 2. Insufficient funding to maintain offerings to meet enrollment target 3. Has used all available fund balance (pursuant to ‘B’ above)

  17. FPRC Recommendations (cont.) • Suspend college debt repayments until 2012/13 and restructure from 3 years to 5 years • District to maintain contingency reserve of at least 5% and ending balance of 10%, including college reserves and balances • FPRC recommendations approved by Cabinet 4/6/11; expected to go to District Budget Committee on 5/18/11 for approval

  18. What’s Next • May 13: Last day to load Tentative Budget • May 16: Revised Governor’s Budget • Jun 30: Tentative Budget • Sep 15: Final Budget
