Houston Community College System Summary of Financial Statements

As of August 31, 2014

At August 31th, the balance sheet continues to show strength. Viewing the operating statement column for unrestricted funds, we note $294 million in revenues at fiscal year-end on budgeted annual revenues of $287 million. At fiscal year-end, revenue represents 102.5% of budgeted cash flows for the year. Expenses total $282 million at year-end; which is 91.4% of the total expense budget of $308.1 million. Compared with the same time last year, revenue shows a 1.6% increase, and expenses are 4.3% higher than the prior year. Actual Net revenue produced a $12 million net bottom line at year-end. That translates into a like amount increase in fund balance. At August 31, 2014, we projected that revenue would total $293 million. Revenue at fiscal year-end totals $294 million. This is a 2.5% increase above budget plan. Tuition and Fee revenue decreases are offset by the increase in ad valorem tax revenue attributable to higher than anticipated property valuations. Expenses were projected to total $292 million at fiscal year-end. Actual expenses at year-end totaled $282 million; an 8.6% decrease compared with budget plan. On a consolidated basis (the method used in our published and audited financial statements), net revenue totaled $12 million. That number reflects a $12 million increase in net operations.

Managements Discussion and Analysis

Thru August 31, 2014

Revenues

Expenditures

Benefits costs totaled $18,512,880 year‐to‐date, 1.7% above last year. This increase is due namely to the reduction

in the state's contribution to TRS and ORP and an increase in health insurance premiums.

Total revenues and expenditures by expense type for the Operating Fund for 2013‐2014 are reported on page one.

Highlights of financial activities year‐to‐date are as follows:

State Appropriations received year to date totaled $69,202,364, 1.2% below last year. The reduction is namely due

to one‐time funding issued to community colleges for the previous biennium. Under Article IX, the state provided

this supplemental funding in the prior biennium of $1.4M per year. The state adopted a new funding formula during

the 83rd Legislative Session; 10% of appropriations will be based on student success points and must be earned.

However, for the first biennium, the state waived the use of the formula and will grant each community college full

funding. Total biennium funding was reduced by 1.5% compared to the previous biennium.

Ad Valorem Tax collections totaled $112,881,772 year‐to‐date. The tax rate for FY 2014 remains the same as the

prior year tax rate at $0.097173. However, the tax rate applied to operations decreased proportionally this year due

to the increase in the tax rate related to debt service. Tax revenue generated by the applied tax rate is trending

higher than budget plan by approximately 8% due to higher than anticipated increases in property valuations within

the taxing district.

Tuition and Fees net revenue year to date totaled $101,840,974 which is 2% lower than the same time last year. Fall

2013 enrollment decreased 1.2%; SCH ‐1.1%, Spring 2014 enrollment is down 3.4%; SCH ‐1.9% to‐date, and Summer

2014 enrollment increased 3%, SCH +2.7% compared to last year.

Tuition & Fee‐Extended Learning receipts totaled $6,910,079 year to date, 5.7% above last year.

Total revenue collections, net of exemptions and waivers, totaled $293,863,951; which is 1.6% above the previous year.

Instructional & Other Materials year‐to date totaled $7,840,510, 25.2% above last fiscal year. IT upgrades and

additional software purchases contributed to the increase.

Total Salaries are $163,822,350 year‐to‐date, 3.1% above the previous year, namely due to the 3% annual salary

increases. Salary expense at year‐end was expected to increase by $1.5M due to changes in TRS guidelines.

Contracted services year‐to‐date totaled $23,841,690, 11.7% above the previous year. The increase is namely due to

an increase in janitorial, security and facility maintenance. Additional IT projects also contributed to the increase.

i

Other Departmental expenses totaled $2,531,325 year‐to‐date, 40.7% above last year. The increase is mainly due to

election expenses incurred and pinning ceremony expenses for Health Sciences.

2 Approve the 2014 Tax Rate for Maintenance & Operations and Debt

Service


RECOMMENDATION Approve the attached resolution to adopt the tax rate of $0.077055 per $100 assessed valuation as the tax rate for Maintenance & Operations Tax for year 2014. Approve the attached resolution to adopt the tax rate of $0.029835 per $100 assessed valuation as the rate for the Debt Service Tax for year 2014. The combined rate for Maintenance and Operations and Debt Service approved is $0.106890. DESCRIPTION OR BACKGROUND Chapter 26 of the Property Tax code requires taxing units to comply with the truth-in-taxation statutes in adopting their tax rates. A taxing unit must calculate and publish its effective and rollback tax rates before adopting an actual rate. The purpose of the law is to make taxpayers aware of the tax rate proposed and to allow taxpayers, in certain cases, to roll back or limit a tax increase. The effective and rollback tax rates were posted on the HCC website on Monday, September 8, 2014 and published in the Houston Chronicle on Monday, September 8, 2014 and Wednesday, September 10, 2014 in order to comply with the Truth-In-Taxation Property Tax Code, Chapter 26. The following two public hearings were held:

· The first public hearing was held on Thursday, October 2, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. at the HCC

Administration Building, 3100 Main, 2nd Floor.

· The second public hearing was held on Tuesday, October 7, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. at the HCC Administration Building, 3100 Main, 2nd Floor.

FISCAL IMPACT The Maintenance & Operations tax rate for 2014 is $0.077055 per $100 assessed valuation. The debt service tax rate is $0.029835 per $100 assessed valuation. In keeping with the Board's policy to minimize the tax burden on constituents, the administration is proposing a total tax rate of $0.106890, which will raise sufficient tax funds to support the fiscal year 2014-2015 operating budget and debt service.

APPENDIX A

Strategic Plan 2012-2015 Creating Opportunities for Our Shared Future

Approved by the HCC Board of Trustees, June 2012 Mission:

Houston Community College is an open-admission, public institution of higher education offering a high-quality, affordable education for academic advancement, workforce training, career and economic development, and lifelong learning to prepare individuals in our diverse communities for life and work in a global and technological society.

Vision: Houston Community College will be the most relevant community college in the country. We will be the opportunity institution for every student we serve – essential to our community’s success.

Guiding Principles: Our Guiding Principles direct our interactions with students, the internal

and external communities we serve, and each other, giving focus to our primary purpose: devotion to the achievement of student success, defined as timely completion of certificates and degrees that drive real accomplishments in the workplace, at universities, and in society.

· Freedom with Responsibility HCC subscribes to and upholds a doctrine of freedom that follows the principle of responsibility.

· Commitment to Excellence HCC believes that a commitment to doing one’s very best without regard to position is the starting point of all expressions of excellence and setting of high standards for quality and performance.

· Respect for the Person HCC holds that a principle of community mindfulness begins with respect for oneself and for others. Respect is the framework of personal integrity and provides the tie that binds us together.

· Sound Stewardship Stewardship is the path to fulfilling HCC’s Mission and acknowledges our guardianship of its resources and positive impact on the lives of our students and community at large.

Strategic Initiative #1 - Increase Student Completion

HCC currently leads the state and is fifth in the nation in the number of students who complete associate degrees. While we are proud of this fact, we can do better. We will strengthen our efforts and scale up those strategies that have been proven to increase the rates of students’ persistence and completion. HCC will continue to serve as a national Achieving the Dream (ATD) Leader College and work hand in hand with our high school partners to ensure more students enter our doors college-ready and leave well-prepared for successful transition to jobs, careers, and further education.

Action 1.1: Improve student preparation for higher education and transition to

careers

Action 1.2: Improve academic success of students in their first semester

Action 1.3: Revamp developmental education to ensure greater success with more efficient delivery

Action 1.4: Improve students’ persistence rates from one semester to the next

Action 1.5: Ensure students complete their programs of study and transition successfully to jobs/careers or further education

Strategic Initiative #2 – Respond to Business and Industry

As the supplier of skilled workers to business and industry, we have a responsibility to build partnerships and to develop the means to respond quickly with the creation and design of programs and student-learning outcomes that meet their requirements. The employer is our customer. Our clear responsibility to both employers and to students is to narrow the jobs gap and the skills gap for both of these stakeholders.

Action 2.1: Engage industry leaders in dialogue to identify present and future

needs

Action 2.2: Improve the infrastructure of workforce programs (instruction, curriculum, facilities, and equipment) to meet the business and industry needs

Action 2.3: Ensure students have access to information and support services to complete career and technical education programs

Strategic Initiative #3 – Develop 21st Century Learners

HCC must prepare our students to become citizens and workers capable of productive and meaningful participation in the 21st century. Core competencies of critical thinking, effective communications, quantitative reasoning, teamwork, personal responsibility, and social responsibility must be taught in all of our instructional programs. All classrooms at HCC should meet minimum technology standards, and all faculty must be trained and supported in using effective teaching and learning strategies to promote success for students in their learning today as well as throughout their lifetime.

Action 3.1: Ensure adoption and commitment by HCC to 21st century core

curriculum skills as defined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

Action 3.2: Create new platforms and methodologies to teach and support students using effective methods of course delivery, teaching practices,

Action 3.3: Provide an environment conducive to optimal learning that includes consideration of facilities, technology, equipment, materials, accessibility, and concern for students

Strategic Initiative #4 – Support Faculty/Staff Professional Development and Student Leadership Development

HCC has celebrated its 40th year by enrolling and graduating more students than ever before. To ensure we continue to thrive as an essential and relevant institution for the educational development of our students and the economic development of our community, we must prepare students, faculty, and staff for the leadership roles of tomorrow. We will do this in multiple ways – through the expansion of external resources and support, purposeful mentoring of leadership candidates, infusion of opportunities for leadership development in our instructional programs, student services, extracurricular activities, and human resources.

Action 4.1: Develop a system-wide strategy to encourage leadership development for students

Action 4.2: Develop a system-wide strategy for ongoing professional and leadership development for faculty

Action 4.3: Develop a system-wide strategy for provision of professional and leadership development for HCC personnel at all levels and functions of the organization

Strategic Initiative #5 - Support Innovation

HCC recognizes that in the near term there will be continuing economic turmoil to challenge the funding and stability of the institution. We also recognize that continuous technical challenges will create disruptions and opportunities in the delivery and transfer of knowledge and data. To counter and overcome these difficulties, we must be an institution where innovation is valued and promoted. However, nothing will be accepted merely on the basis of custom, anecdote, or fad – everything we do must be proven to have long-term value in terms of strengthening our institutional resilience and capacity to serve our students and our community.

Action 5.1: Reduce HCC’s reliance on debt to maximize the use of operating dollars for strengthening teaching and learning capabilities

Action 5.2: Leverage current and new grant opportunities to improve the institution’s capability to respond to our teaching and learning needs

Action 5.3: Expand opportunities for the HCC Foundation to fund capital projects, program excellence, and faculty development

Action 5.4: Optimize technology and capital assets through planning for business continuity, disaster recovery, replacements, training, and environmental sustainability

Strategic Initiative #6 – Support Entrepreneurialism

Houston is an entrepreneurial, “opportunity city” where taking a risk, failing, and starting over again are valued. HCC is the “Opportunity College” and is grassroots in its approach to serving its constituents. Therefore, HCC is committed to strategic thinking that not only respects students wherever they are, but also inspires and gives them the tools and confidence to follow their dreams. HCC will commit to an entrepreneurial culture within the organization to serve as an example of the “spirit of Houston.” For this institution, fostering a culture that encourages inspiration and dreaming helps students actualize their potential.

Action 6.1: Encourage an entrepreneurial culture among all members of the HCC family

Action 6.2: Develop and implement promising practices that nurture and reward a spirit of entrepreneurialism throughout the institution

Action 6.3: Strengthen HCC assessment and institutional effectiveness (IE) processes and activities

Strategic Initiative #7 – Leverage Partnerships

Houston is a global leader. The diversity of our economic structure and our willingness to embrace and value the partnerships encourage innovation. HCC is a principle partner for educational and economic opportunities, enhancing and advancing the community’s quality of life. HCC is a catalyst for creating jobs. Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates described foreign language education, study abroad, and the recruitment of foreign students to U.S. campuses as key strategies in promoting America’s national security and economic interests. While addressing the audience at the 2012 NAFSA conference in Houston, Gates stated, “Our economic future depends on Americans who can work successfully in an international setting.” According to an American Council on Higher Education Blue Ribbon Panel on Global Engagement (November, 2011), “It is important that college graduates, whatever their location, be not only globally competitive but also globally competent, understanding their roles as citizens and workers in an international context. While identifying common problems, we might also discover common solutions (p.6).”I

Action 7.1: Identify and secure new local partnerships capable of improving the institution’s capacity, performance, and resilience

Action 7.2: Identify and secure new regional and state partnerships capable of improving the institution’s capacity, performance, and resilience

Action 7.3: Identify and secure new international partnerships capable of improving the institutions’ capacity, performance, and resilience
