Bellingham Technical College 2013-2014 Budget Plan

Revenue Budget Highlights

The 2013-2014 budget anticipates serving 2,155 FTE’s: o 1,737 State-funded FTE’s including:

4 HEET FTE’s 50 Running Start FTE’s 160 Basic Ed FTE’s (non-tuition paying)

o 81 State-funded Worker Retraining funded FTE’s o 315 Other Enrollment FTE’s (excess, self-support & contract)

FTE projections have been estimated with a 5% decline from 2012-2013 year levels. We anticipate a continuing decline in enrollment with historical levels of 7%-8% annual decreases being moderated during the latter part of the year by the implementation of our Strategic Enrollment Plan (SEP) initiatives.

Overall State base funding was increased from the 2012-2013 level with the partial restoration of prior biennium cuts and the receipt of M&O funding for the Perry Center and storm water mitigation costs.

The College continues to focus on alternative sources of revenue with an emphasis on expanding access through existing programs, e-Learning expansion, retention strategies, and additional contracted offerings.

Tuition for technical programs and courses will increase by a slight amount related to the conversion to the CC tuition rate schedule and the resulting increase in SBCTC building fees. Fees for technical programs and courses will increase by an average of 4.7%. (Some cost-based fees will be increased by a greater amount).

A total of 3% of all tuition collections are deposited by all colleges into the SBCTC Innovation Account for funding the new system wide ctcLink computer system.

The college may receive additional restricted funds for specific purposes throughout the year which could ultimately affect the final results of the 2013-2014 budget.

Bellingham Technical College 2013-2014 Budget Plan

Operating Expense Highlights

Salaries

Once again the legislature did not fund a cost of living increase.

Instructional and instructional support salary costs will move into the operating budget, due to the expiration of the HECO, FIPSE and Allen Fisheries grants.

New/Modified Positions

Various position changes will be implemented related to department workload reorganizations and retirements, funded from Operating funds.

Three additional positions have been added and several positions have been modified in the Student Services department for Recruiting & Advising functions as part of the Strategic Enrollment Plan (SEP) plan.

Two regular tenure-track faculty positions were added in Math and Communications.

Positions on hold

Executive Director of Human Resources – full time, funded from Operating funds

BCIS Instructor – full time, funded from Operating funds

Electronics Instructor – full time, funded from Operating funds

Dean – full time, funded from Operating funds

E-Learning Designer – full time, funded from Operating funds Benefits

State contributions for health care benefits were reduced from $800 to $782 per month, per employee.

Legislation requires colleges to pay an additional .50% (increased from .25%) of the salaries of employees in TIAA-CREF to fund supplemental retirement benefits.

PERS retirement employer contribution rates will increase from 7.21% to 9.19%, effective July 1, 2013.

TRS retirement employer contribution rates will increase from 8.05% to 10.37%, effective September 1, 2013.

Other Costs

Approximately $19,000 related to the maintenance and operation of the Perry Center was newly budgeted. BTC received a permanent state funding allocation of approximately $20,000 related to these planned expense increases.

With the exception of inflationary increases in consumables and utility costs, most non-salary operating expenses were held at 2012-2013 levels.

The 2013-2014 budget of $600,000 for Instructional Equipment and Projects includes $200,000 for requested carry-forward of deferred 2012-2013 projects.
