Minutes:

  1. The committee determined how to allocate the $180,000 non-personnel budget surplus. The allocation was based on a combination of previous non-personnel budgets as well as the number of employees affected and was voted on by the committee members. The following communication summarizes the committee's recommendations.

Budget Surplus

Because of increased enrollments this past year we have a one time surplus to distribute. This surplus is in the non-personnel budget area and therefore should not be used for personnel, facilities, or major equipment purchases. The Finance Committee has decided to allocate it as follows:

Academic Area: $100,000

  • Each division is to receive $15,000. The allocation of this $15,000 is to be determined by the members of the division. A priority list will be developed by the division faculty in consult with the division deans. Each division priority list will then be forwarded to Candy Barnack. It is recommended that this priority list be developed by the same division members developing the division's equipment priority list.
  • In addition there will be a $25,000 academic area-wide allocation. This $25,000 should be allocated based on activities that are academic in nature and that benefit more than one division (i.e. not division specific). This priority list should be generated at the division level as well and forwarded to the Finance Committee (Pat Carey - chairman).

Business, Facilities and Food Service Area: $50,000

  • A priority list should be developed by the members of these areas and forwarded to Rick Halvorson. Again, it is recommended that this list be developed by the same members developing the area's equipment priority list.

Student Services Area: $30,000

  • A priority list should be developed by the members of this area and forwarded to Beth Adams. Again, it is recommended that this list be developed by the same members developing the area's equipment priority list.
