<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Good morning, Presidents, Chancellors, and State Board members,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
