[DEOC] Conference Operating Budget Detail

Tue Apr 25 08:42:07 PDT 2023

Good morning!

Just in from Choi, who invited us to share the information below with our commissions. It was sent to the Business Officers group this morning. Some of it is similar to what I shared with you yesterday, but want to be sure you are also seeing what some of your other officers in your institutions are receiving about this budget.

Peace,
Sophia

Good morning, Business Officers.

I am forwarding the message that was sent to Presidents, Chancellors, and State Board members on Sunday that has details of the budget that passed the legislature and is heading for the Governor’s desk.

Here are a few caveats about the detailed information contained in the attachment:

  *   For many of the provisos and funding provided to meet provisions of newly enacted laws, the WACTC has not yet made recommendations on how to distribute the funding across the districts
  *   Funding to the Districts will be designed as much as possible to allow local prioritization of activities and strategies.
  *   For those of you new to the system or your positions, this is a reminder that allocations from SBCTC are distributed to the district, not to a college or a department, so that the institution can make the best overall local decisions on fund use to satisfy the various legal and operational requirements of the district.

If you have questions, please contact me or Cherie Berthon (cberthon at sbctc.edu)

Good people--

Iesha, thanks for forwarding that information from your president.

A few items to keep in mind as you digest the info:

  1.  $12m was allocated to Advance DEI Initiatives (ONE-TIME Funding in Conference). The conference totals are what you should pay attention to. Huge thank you again to those who responded to the survey a few months ago that allowed me to bring your words and experiences directly to the eyes and ears of the budget writers. I believe that this is in part a result of that.
  2.  WACTC is meeting on Thursday and Friday this week and it's likely that at their Friday business meeting they will be asked to provide input on allocation methods/models for this new system-wide funding (including maintenance adjustments) that impact the system/colleges. These recommendations will then go to SBCTC.
  3.  I believe it would be helpful to connect with your presidents in advance of their WACTC meeting to ensure understanding/alignment with your institution's EDI needs as they make these recommendations/provide input, as EDI is mission critical.
  4.  I haven't seen the decision package, but there may be something in there requiring colleges to submit plans on how monies will be used—presidents can confirm this, and I can ask Paul or Choi.
  5.  Invite Choi to an upcoming DEOC meeting. He has said he is happy to do a Q&A, so this may be a good time to extend that invitation. It may be helpful to have him come after mid-May when the budget is finalized. Happy to help with that or Robert can reach out to him directly.

That's all I've got. Holler if I can be of help!

Peace,
Sophia

Hi DEOC,

I’ve received this from my President today and I’m hoping yours is sharing with you as well but I’ll attach it here just in case that doesn’t happen. Take a look at the operating budget. We’ll put this on the agenda for our next DEOC meeting.

Good morning, Presidents, Chancellors, and State Board members,

Attached you will find a detailed breakdown of the Conference Budget that was released yesterday. It compares our system request with the Governor’s proposal, the House and Senate individual chamber proposals, and the final Conference Committee bill.

As I stated in yesterday's summary, the most important thing to note is that our COLA request was funded at 100%. This is shown in several lines over the first page of the attached PDF. The key item is called “Compensation Support” which is funded at $54,874,000. This is to make up the difference between the “normal fund split” for COLAs in a typical budget bill and the full funding from the General Fund that our system needed.

An interesting note is that the section in the appropriations act for our system (Section 605) has fifty-four (54!!) provisos. In the 2019-21 budget bill there were twenty-five, and in the 2015-17 budget bill there were twelve. As you already know, each proviso brings with it a separate set of accountability, financial reporting, and overall administrative resource cost.

Please feel free to contact me or Cherie Berthon (cberthon at sbctc.edu<mailto:cberthon at sbctc.edu>) if you have questions about specific line items.
