7. 7 Preliminary Budget 2008-09 is based on the Governor’s initial budget proposals: Reductions that range from 3.62 % to 10.90 % in Categorical Programs (Loss of $266,000 in GFU) No COLA in 2008-09 (Normal inflationary costs = $3M-$4M) 1 % maximum growth (Restricts our revenue options) Assumes no Mid-year cuts of $1.4 million Does not include loss due to Property Tax Shortfall (Potential loss of $2.8M) A roll forward of 2007-08 budgets plus inflationary costs to selected operating expense accounts such as utilities and maintenance contracts Employee class and step advance costs $1.78 million in supplemental funding for additional class sections so campuses are funded at the same FTEF level in 2008-09 as in 2007-08 (Budget Model FTEF plus Supplemental FTEF) - Budgeted annual FTEF in 2008-09: City = 677 FTEFMesa = 931 FTEFMiramar = 395 FTEF In addition, the Preliminary Budget includes the following:

15. 15 Result of Lower Class Size Revenue Change Due to Class Size ($28,120,000) 5.6 students per class x 1100 FTES per 1.0 student increase above 28.4 per class x $4,565 per credit FTES = $28,120,000 Note: 1.0 student increase above an average of 28.4 students in every class will generate 1100 FTES, or $5 million in credit apportionment revenue. Solution: Reduce number of class sections to stay within funding provided through the Budget Model formulas, while increasing average class size to maintain FTES base or to grow in FTES.

As new continuous revenue is received, it needs to be allocated to address several issues such as …

17. 17 Summary Based on the Governor’s initial budget proposal, a roll forward of the 2007- 08 budget to 2008-09, and a potential “deficit factor”, requires $10.1 million in budget “adjustments” that need to be made between the 2008-2009 Preliminary Budget (February) and the 2008-2009 Tentative Budget (June). Adjustments need to be made in both continuous costs and one-time costs to balance the 2008-09 budget and address the structural budget problem and reduce reliance on one-time funds. How the 2008-09 budget issues are resolved will impact the magnitude of the budget challenges in 2009-10. Class schedules need to continue to be adjusted to bring costs in line with Budget Model funding formulas, and increase average class size back to 2003-04 levels. Future revenue needs to be allocated in such a way that all budget requirements are addressed.
