Total District Budget Grand Total 2010-2011 Adopted Budget: $ 656,512,462
Adopted Budget Assumptions • No COLA in 2010-11 • A net continuous revenue increase of $2.35 million (FTES Growth) • No additional revenue reductions to General Apportionment or Categoricals, including no negative COLA • Funded growth FTES can be achieved through funding campuses at the same FTEF levels in 2010-11 as was funded in 2009-10 • Total Categorical backfill from GFU will be limited to $1.26 million • Funded apportionment FTES for credit and noncredit combined will be at 2.12% Growth, or a total of 41,890 FTES • PERS contribution rate increase will be from 9.709% to 10.707%, at a total increase in cost of $758,539 (10.2%) • Projected STRS increase is from 8.25% to 9.25% at a cost of $897,364 (12.1%)
Major adjustments to Tentative Budget • Unemployment (State) rate adjustment from .30% to .72% = 240% increase = $726,855 • Unemployment Local Experience Tax increase from $95,000 to $220,000, or an increase of$125,000 • A statewide deficit factor was applied to 2009-10 revenue due to a 5-year adjustment in local property taxes, which was the result of improper reporting by Redevelopment Agencies and the Community College System =$232,877 (47.5% / 52.5% split) • A general statewide apportionment deficit factor was also applied to 2009-10 revenue due to the State revenue shortfall = $215,101 • Categorical backfill from GFU reduced by $310,000 • Lottery revenue increased by $266,500 • Part-time faculty compensation increased by $353,379 (assumes no $10 million reduction) • Ending balance increased by $3,178,650

Reliance on One-Time Funding (Structural Budget Gap)
Reliance on One- Time Funding General Fund Unrestricted Only In years when the District is receiving both COLA and Growth revenue, it was recommended that the reliance on one-time funds be no greater than 2% of projected total GFU, or approximately $4 million. However, with zero COLA, low Growth revenue, 50% law compliance challenges, deficit factors, shrinking set-asides, and additional funds required to fund continuous Prop S & N costs, etc., it is recommended that the reliance on one-time funds be reduced to no greater than 1% of total GFU, or approximately $2.2 million.

In years when the District is receiving both COLA and Growth revenue, it was recommended that the reliance on one-time funds be no greater than 2% of projected total GFU, or approximately $4 million. However, with zero COLA, low Growth revenue, 50% law compliance challenges, deficit factors, shrinking set-asides, and additional funds required to fund continuous Prop S & N costs, etc., it is recommended that the reliance on one-time funds be reduced to no greater than 1% of total GFU, or approximately $2.2 million. There are sufficient funds in the reserves and set-asides to cover at least the next 2 to 3 years of Prop S & N continuous costs. However, all of these are non-instructional costs and will negatively impact compliance with 50% law in the future.
Fifty Percent Law Background The Law, which dates back to 1959, was created presumably to ensure that non-instructional functions do not negatively impact the number of class section offerings. Education Code section 84362, commonly known as the Fifty Percent Law, requires each community college district to spend at least half of its “current expense of education” each fiscal year for salaries and benefits of classroom instructors and instructional aides. Current Expense of Education (often referred to as “the denominator”) includes the unrestricted general fund expenditures of a community college district. Excluded from the current expense of education are expenditures for student transportation, food services, community services, lease agreements for plant and equipment, retiree related expenses, and other costs specified in law and regulations. Amounts expended from State Lottery are also excluded. Salaries of Classroom Instructors and Instructional Aides (often described as “the numerator”) are described in the California Community Colleges Budget and Accounting Manual as follows: Expenditures for the full or prorated portions of salaries of all employees in contract or regular faculty (teaching) positions; and Expenditure for the full and prorated portions of salaries paid to employees who are assigned by governing board designated the basic title of “Instructional aide” or any other title which denotes that the employees’ duties include instructional tasks.
IN THE SIMPLEST TERMS , THE 50% LAW IS CALCULATED BY DIVIDING INSTRUCTIONAL SALARIES AND BENEFITS BY TOTAL EXPENSES. THIS CAN BE DISPLAYED AS: Instructional Salaries and Benefits Expense Total Expenses (Current Expense of Education) Counts Toward Does Not Count Outside the 50% Calculation 50% Goal Toward 50% Goal (Exclusions) Salary and Benefit Costs of: Deans and other administrators Board of Trustees Admissions and records staff Business Services staff Human Resources staff College Police Computer technical support staff Operating Costs: Insurance Legal Audit Fees Travel and Conference expenses Materials and supplies Replacement equipment Professional Services Technology Salary and Benefit Costs of: Classroom Faculty Instructional Aides and Instructional Service Agreements Costs funded by Categorical Programs Building and equipment leases New equipment Community Services & Economic Dev. Civic Center Child Development Centers Costs funded by Lottery funds Student Transportation Cafeteria & Bookstore operations (ABSO) Retiree related expenses Military Programs (Contracts) Counselors (faculty) Librarians (faculty) Faculty Coordinators Faculty directors (such as EOPS) Release time for department chairs ESU’s for department chairs Non-classroom faculty assignments Nurses Facilities and maintenance staff Utilities
What are the major causes of the 50% Law Compliance Issues? • 1. Loss of Lottery Revenue - $263,704 • This moved expenses from the “exclusion” category to “non-instructional” expenses • 2. Prop S & N Continuous Costs to date - $2,623,237 • All Prop S & N Continuous Costs are non-instructional • 3. Workload Reduction - $6,589,820 • This reduction of 1,833 funded FTES (3.768%), or $6.6M in apportionment revenue (3.34%), is a 100% reduction in instructional costs as it resulted in class section reductions • 4. Categorical Backfill from GFU (2010-2011) - $1,260,000 • These backfill costs are all non-instructional expenses • 5. Classroom Faculty Savings from 2009-2010 SERP - $538,978 • This reflects the savings due to reducing the funding level from contract to adjunct These five (5) items alone negatively impacted the 50% law by $11.28 million.

Recommendations Legislative actions • Support proposals to modify 50% law 2. Support legislation to exclude Prop 39 (bond measures) continuous expenses from 50% law • 3. Support legislation to expand the use of AB 1290 redevelopment revenue to include utilities, salaries, and benefits 4. Encourage “smoothing” of any STRS and PERS increases over a minimum of four (4) years
Recommendations Local actions • 5. Continue hiring freeze and fill only critical positions, primarily through internal transfers and promotions 6. Reorganize and consolidate support services where possible • 7. Place the highest priority on reducing “non-instructional” expenses as defined by the 50% law • 8. Reduce $1.26 million in Categorical backfill from GFU as quickly as possible as these are all non-instructional expenses
Recommendations • Local actions (cont.) • 9. The information related to the reliance on one-time funds (structural gap) suggests that in order to reduce the gap to a maximum of 1% of the GFU budget (approx $2.2m), $3.7 million in continuous reductions need to be implemented by July 1, 2011. The data related to compliance with the 50% law suggests the need to reduce “non-instructional” costs by $5.5 million, or increase “instructional expenses”, or a combination of both. • Recommendation: Use one-time funds to add additional class sections during 2010-11 & 2011-12, and decrease non-instructional costs. Combined total should equal a minimum of $5.5 million. • 10. Start preparing for 2011-12 as soon as possible: • 10.1 Determine if COLA and Growth revenue will cover the $4.2 million in inflationary costs (evaluate) • 10.2 Rebalance non-instructional and instructional costs by $5.5 million (evaluate/ action item) • 10.3 Continue to evaluate funding plan for Prop S & N continuous costs and monitor impact on 50% law (evaluate annually)
