5. Budget Status • CC budget cut $290M in apportionment from 2010-11 levels [$2.94M to MPC] • Student fees increased from $26 to $36 per unit effective fall 2011 • New inter-year deferral of $129M • Potential for mid-year trigger cuts of $30 million and $72 million if statewide revenue estimates are not met 

6. State unemployment rate was 12.1% as of June 30.

7. Mid-Year Cuts • The budget requires mid-year cuts if Dept. of Finance determines on or before December 15th that revenues are falling short of budget assumptions. • Tier 0 – There will be no midyear cuts if at least $3 billion of the $4 billion of the higher revenues materialize • Tier 1 – If only $2 billion to $3 billion of the revenues materialize, the CC system would see a $30M cut to apportionment at Spring semester offset by another $10 increase to student fees to $46 a unit • Tier 2 – If less than $2 billion of the revenues materialize, the CC system will receive an apportionment reduction of up to $72 million beyond the Tier 1 cuts - [Basis for Final Budget]

8. Current Outlook • State’s budget assumptions are tenuous • MPC will be continue to budget for the “worst case” • Budget deficit is less than anticipated in Tentative Budget – resulting in lowered employee concessions • If state revenues materialize, both collective bargaining agreements have provisions for restoration of concessions • Current revenue patterns and legal issues indicate a likely 2012-13 deficit of $5B - $10B • Full restoration of funding to pre-recession (2007) levels is likely still 2 to 3 years away

15. Enrollment & Retention • Completed a successful Summer Session • Fall schedule reflects reductions to match apportionment cuts – 7.8% lower Cap • Planning for Spring assumes at least equal reductions – mid year cuts may indicate more • Legislative focus remains on BS, GE/TR, & CTE • Redirected students continue to pressure credit enrollment • Emphasis must be on retention to ensure maximum apportionment revenue from a reduced schedule
