BACKGROUND Western Governor’s University Texas (WGU Texas) is a comprehensive public institution of higher education within the State of Texas. WGU Texas offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in nursing to educate students to become qualified, competent, professional nurses who are prepared for practice. To achieve that goal, WGU Texas offers a Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and a RN to Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree articulation program. The BSN and MSN programs offer RNs an opportunity to continue their education and to earn a BSN or MSN. This agreement between WGU Texas and the SJCD specifies a framework within which our Associate of Applied Science in Nursing degree (ADN) graduates may receive admission and seamlessly transfer to the RN to BSN program offered by WGU Texas. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION The College’s ADN graduates shall be eligible for admission into the Western Governor’s University BSN degree program, specifically the RN-to-BSN articulation track. Western Governor’s University nursing program will provide graduates who have earned the ADN from San Jacinto Community College District preference for admission to WGU Texas if they apply for admission to the RN-to-BSN degree, RN-to-MSN Education degree, or RN-to-MSN Leadership and Management degrees. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) None MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE The commencement of this Bachelor Of Science Nursing Articulation is when it has been signed by the governing body of each institution. This articulation agreement shall continue indefinitely until such time as either or both institutions wish to terminate it. Regular participation updates will be obtained from WGU Texas. 7 Action Item “IV“ Regular Board Meeting March 3, 2014 Consideration of Approval of a Guaranteed Pathway Program Agreement between Western Governor’s University Texas and San Jacinto College District ATTACHMENTS Attachment 1- Guaranteed Pathway Program Agreement between Western Governor’s University Texas and San Jacinto Community College District for the RN to BSN and RN to MSN Nursing Degrees RESOURCE PERSONNEL Laurel V.

Call the Meeting to Order II. Roll Call of Committee Members III. Approval of Minutes from previous meeting Discussion/Information/Action Meeting called to order at 3:30 p.m. by Brad Hance. Roll Call of Committee Members by Brad Hance. Committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the January 21, 2014 meeting. IV. Recommended Projects and A. Operating Funds 1. Approval of Additional Funds for North Campus 24 Delivery Methods which acre Site Development Services will provide the best value to the College • (Bryan Jones) We are requesting additional funds and scope of work for land development services on the 24 acres located off of Uvalde Road across from the North Campus. This is the third request for the development services on this property. • (Bryan Jones) The work proposed for the 24 acre land parcel will be conducted by Berg Oliver and lead by Brooks and Sparks. • (Bryan Jones) This is the third step required for preparation of the 24 acre site for construction. • (Brenda Hellyer) When we bought the land we performed basic due diligence investigations, believing wetlands were likely at the site. The steps since then are designed to get the specific details on the wetlands, in order for us to mitigate properly. • (Bryan Jones) The color map was created using on-site inspections. The first contract revision included wetlands delineation and permitting. The next step required includes performing Board Building Committee 02/17/2014 Minutes: Jessica Garcia San Jacinto College 1 61 Board Building Committee Meeting Minutes February 17, 2014, 3:30 pm, District Administration Bldg., Board Room • • • • • • • • • • Board Building Committee 02/17/2014 Minutes: Jessica Garcia supervised clearing of the land. Following clearing of the land, we will be able to conduct a more specific on-site inspection in order to detail the wetlands and the extent to which they cover the land. On the back of the map is a proposed layout of contoured land, which accommodates the wetlands area and storm water retention needs. (Brenda Hellyer) We did preliminary inspections when purchasing this land, but how far should we have gone with these inspections before the purchase? (Randy Sparks) When the College purchased the property we did Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. In addressing the wetlands, the information came off the national inventory map. (Brenda Hellyer) What is the difference from a Nationwide Permit and an Individual Permit? (Bryan Jones) The Individual Permit takes more time - up to 18months - to deliver. The Nationwide Permit requires six to nine months. (Randy Sparks) If the Nationwide Permit does not respond in a certain amount of time then you are approved automatically for a permit. The Individual Permit takes more money, more time to a specific site. (Brenda Hellyer) If it’s under a half acre it goes into the National Permit? The reason that the Maritime building went to the Individual Permit was because it was over a half acre? (Randy Sparks) Yes, that is correct. (Brad Hance) Do the wetlands not cover the entire creek? Is it not deep enough for the wetlands? (Randi Sparks) The suspected wetlands encompass a narrow strip that is about 20 feet wide on average. On a scale of this size might be a little wider than 20 feet that we had to be able to see it. We believe the project will be less than a half-acre and there’s a 20 foot wide strip at the bottom of the creek that we won’t be disturbing. (Brenda Hellyer) While this drawing presents a concept in addressing the wetlands it is too San Jacinto College 2 62 Board Building Committee Meeting Minutes February 17, 2014, 3:30 pm, District Administration Bldg., Board Room • • preliminary to make such a decision. Is that correct? (Bryan Jones) Yes, that is correct. Frank Rizzo agreed also. (Brenda Hellyer) Again, it is important to complete this next phase in order to truly understand the go-forward plan. We may decide we can’t afford to give up as much land and look at more options. B. Bond Funds – no actions at this time. V. Projects Updates A. Financial Reports 1. (Brenda Hellyer) Budget adjustments were made for Ballroom Audio Upgrade and the Maritime Simulators? 2. (Bryan Jones) Yes, that is correct. B. Bond Construction Schedule C. Operating Funds D. Construction Reports 1. Central Campus Primary Electrical Service Upgrade • (Frank Rizzo) Last month we requested a change order cost for the Orangeberg pipe. We are three months behind due to replacement of that pipe. The project should be complete in June. 2. Maintenance/Police Building • (Frank Rizzo) Maintenance/Police building is complete. Permitting was issued today for the paint booth and we will start installation on Wednesday, February 19, 2014. The paint booth will be complete in six weeks. 3. Central Campus Library Renovation • (Frank Rizzo) Scheduled completion date projected is March 27th. The project is working well to date. 4. Central Campus Science Building (parking lot component) • (Frank Rizzo) We are currently working on the underground portion of the project. We had to replace some sanitary sewer and water lines. This should be complete the end of May 2014. • (Brenda Hellyer) How many parking places does the project add? • (Frank Rizzo) It is approximately 280.

North Campus Library Project 6. (Frank Rizzo) We are working on budget adjustments and design review to present to Dr. Hellyer. During the next Building Committee meeting we should have a full report and revised renderings. South Campus Library Renovation • (Frank Rizzo) The project is finishing. Furniture is moved in. The space looks great and the end users are pleased. 7. Maritime Technology & Training Center • (Frank Rizzo) We are working on budget adjustments and will have a full report to the Chancellor at the end of February 2014. We are in design development and would like to move forward with construction documents. VI. Facility and Infrastructure Update Board Building Committee 02/17/2014 Minutes: Jessica Garcia North Campus Building and Utility Systems Review • (Ron Rucker) The Burleson Classroom Building was built in 1979 and the Spencer Administration Building was built in 1975. The vacated science labs occupy both buildings. • (Ron Rucker) In the Burleson Building, we added ventilation and data outlets in the biology lab in recent years. There is no audio/visual equipment in the classrooms. In the chemistry lab, we added data outlets and a teaching wall during past years. The geology lab has no teaching technology or audio/visual capabilities. • (Ron Rucker) In the Spencer Building, the lecture classroom is outdated with K-12 style desks, pull down projection screen, and the data/electrical routed along the surface of the wall. In the physics lab, we had to bring power poles down from the ceiling to the tables in order to get power to the teaching stations. The physics prep room has an electrical panels exposed. In the chemistry lab, the emergency shower was made out of PVC pipe and only one fume hood is available for the building. • (Brad Hance) In the Spencer Building, is that smoke stains or mildew on the ceiling? • (Ron Rucker) No, that is not stains on the ceiling but is color irregularities on the PowerPoint slide. • (Ron Rucker) The electrical circuits in the Brightwell and Wheeler buildings need to be replaced. We have options to consider for the library. One is to set a new transformer to feed the library only. The other option is to get a new transformer with enough capacity to power San Jacinto College 4 64 Board Building Committee Meeting Minutes February 17, 2014, 3:30 pm, District Administration Bldg., Board Room • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Board Building Committee 02/17/2014 Minutes: Jessica Garcia the library, Brightwell and Wheeler at the same time. (Brenda Hellyer) The next programming process is to access each building. The Brightwell and Wheeler need major renovation and also there is the electric issue that came up that needs to be resolved. (Ricardo Troncoso) We need to replace the electrical gear at Burleson and Spencer. (Brenda Hellyer) The North Campus has a tunnel system. Is that a good system or a system that you see problems with in the future? (Ricardo Troncoso) The tunnel is about 7 feet tall and 10 feet wide. The piping is in bad condition, insulation is peeled off, and there is asbestos in the tunnel. We would like to find another way to provide service to the campus instead of using the tunnel. (Brenda Hellyer) What is the long term? (Ricardo Troncoso) The long term is about 5-8 years maximum. (Ken Lynn) We prepared some cost estimates for a FEMA grant application back in 2009 and the cost to remove the utilities from the tunnel was about $9,000,000. (Dan Mims) Is there any benefit in having two transformers? (Ricardo Troncoso) Yes, there could be but transformers are unlikely to fail. (Bryan Jones) The College does annual inspection and preventive maintenance on electrical systems. We do diagnostic testing annually. (Keith Sinor) What would it entail to mitigate the tunnel situation? (Ricardo Troncoso) The best option is to abandon the tunnel. (Brenda Hellyer) What it the best option for the library? (Ricardo Troncoso) The best option for the library is to feed from a new library transformer. (Frank Rizzo) Provide a transformer with enough capacity to feed the other two buildings so that we wouldn’t have to do the other buildings at this point. (Brenda Hellyer) These estimates for the library electrical and capacity concerns will be presented when we discuss the additional budget for the library? (Bryan Jones) Yes, we will address in the proposed budget amendment. San Jacinto College 5 65 Board Building Committee Meeting Minutes February 17, 2014, 3:30 pm, District Administration Bldg., Board Room VII. Adjournment Next Meeting: Board Building Committee 02/17/2014 Minutes: Jessica Garcia Brad Hance adjourned the meeting at 4:20 p.m. March 18, 2014 San Jacinto College 6 66 San Jacinto College District Finance Committee Meeting Minutes February 17, 2014 Members Present: Dan Mims, John Moon, Jr., and Larry Wilson Members Absent: Dr. Ruede Wheeler Others Present: Brenda Hellyer, Ken Lynn, Steve Trncak, Linda Torres, and Lori Barbay I. II. The meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. by John Moon, Jr., acting as chairman of the committee in Dr. Ruede Wheeler’s absence. Roll Call of Committee Members by John Moon, Jr. a. One committee member absent, Dr. Ruede Wheeler. III. Approval of Minutes from the November 19, 2013, Finance Committee Meeting a. Mr. Moon presented the minutes of the November 19, 2013, Finance Committee Meeting. The minutes were approved as presented. Motion was made by Larry Wilson to accept the minutes as presented, seconded by Dan Mims. b. Mr. Moon turned the meeting over to Kenneth Lynn. IV. Review and Discuss Internal Audit Cash Count Observation for South Campus Café a. Mr. Lynn introduced Linda Torres who presented the next two agenda items. b. Ms. Torres shared the results of the internal audit cash count observation performed on November 21, 2013, at the South Campus Café and Pizza Hut/A&W franchise. c. The day of the audit, only $1,000 of the $1,500 could be verified as $500 was in the safe that was reported broken that morning. On November 25, 2013, the $500 was verified immediately after a locksmith gained access to the safe. d. Only a small net cash shortage of $4.11 was noted with cash collections, which is deemed immaterial considering the $2,773.51 sales volume for the day. e. The broken safe could not be repaired; therefore, a new safe will be obtained. In the meantime, all café funds are sent to the campus business office nightly to be secured within their safe. V. Review and Discuss Internal Audit Cash Count Observation for Central Business Office a. Linda shared the results of the internal audit cash count observations done on November 20, 2013, at the Central campus business office. b. The day of the audit the start-up cash of $4,985.00 was verified with two drawers open. No shortages or overages noted. c. There were also two unsealed deposit bags relating to business office transactions from the prior business day (November 19, 2013), which were in the safe waiting to be verified by two business office employees (the two-person rule). d. It is typical that the evening cashier works alone during their shift and they verify their cash drawer proceeds against the Touchnet report at the close each night. They then put the deposit in an unsealed envelope in the safe until the next morning when a second verification can be done by another employee. It is now recommended that after the evening cashier verifies the cash drawer proceeds against the Touchnet report, the cashier will put the deposit in a sealed tamper-proof bag and will sign this bag and include the 67 Finance Committee Meeting Minutes February 17, 2014 Page 2 date and time. The following morning the bag will be opened in the presence of two Business Office employees and the contents will be verified and sealed for deposit. This procedure was immediately implemented. VI. Review and Discuss District ORP Supplemental Contributions a. Steve Trncak shared with the committee details about the grandfathered Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) and the College’s supplemental contribution to this plan versus that of the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) plan. b. Employees who are at the director level or higher have the option to select ORP instead of TRS during the first 90 days of employment. c. In the early 1990s the state reduced the ORP contribution rate from 8.5 %, and institutions were authorized to use local funds or other sources of funds to provide a supplement to the state base rate for ORP up to a total contribution of 8.5%. Since the State has been reducing their share over the past years, the College has voluntarily made up the difference creating an imbalance in contributions between TRS and ORP. Currently, 20 college districts across the state provide a supplement to the maximum allowed by the State and 20 others provide less than the maximum contribution. d. Institutions are not required to provide any supplements. Institutions may provide the same supplemental rate to all participants or may provide two different rates, one for the grandfathered group and another for the non-grandfathered group. e. It is costing the College on average $250,000 per year to provide the difference, which causes an additional budget concern every year. There are currently 123 employees who benefit from the supplemental contribution. f. The recommendation is to reduce the ORP supplement contribution to provide the difference between the current TRS state contribution of 6.8% and the current ORP state contribution of 6.6%, or .2% on an annual basis. This would be an anticipated cost of approximately $36,934.00 based on the current differential in State contributions for fiscal year 2014-2015. The difference will be reviewed each year as part of the budget process. The proposal maintains equity between the two retirement systems. g. This reduction of the ORP contribution will be an agenda item for the March 3, 2014, Board of Trustees Meeting. VII. Review and Discuss Supplemental Annual Financial Statement Format a. Mr. Lynn shared a new format to the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position annual financial statement for fiscal years 2013 and 2012. This format change request was made by Dr. Wheeler at a previous meeting. The new format groups all revenues together and all expenses together, rather than having revenues and expenses separated according to the Business Type Activity method of financial reporting adopted by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board during the 2002-2003 fiscal year at the time GASB 34 was adopted. b. Also shared and requested by Dr. Wheeler was a chart comparing total salaries, wages, and benefits as a percentage of the total unrestrictred expenses. The comparison was prepared for San Jacinto College District and other Texas community colleges similar in size. The chart shows that the College’s percentage is 72.63% which is comparable to the other colleges which range from 71.67% to 81.20%. VIII. Review and Discuss Proposed Budget Amendment for Property Tax and Tuition and Fee Revenue a. Mr. Lynn explained to the committee that the adopted 2013-2014 budget was prepared 68 Finance Committee Meeting Minutes February 17, 2014 Page 3 using preliminary certified tax rolls values from Harris County Appraisal District. However, the latest figures anticipate an increase in property tax revenue of $1,300,000. That increase with a decrease in budgeted tuition and fee revenue of $800,000 causes a cumulative effect of a net increase of $500,000. b. There will be an action item on the agenda for the March 3, 2014, Board of Trustees Meeting to approve an amendment to the 2013-2014 budget. The amendment will recognize the additional property tax revenue and reduce the revenue budget for tuition and fees. c. The amendment will also address that the additional revenue will be spent on one-time expenses and several support positions. The positions were not funded during the regular budget process while we waited on more definition around property tax revenue. Additionally, contingency dollars were moved to cover one-time expenses and costs associated with interpreters. IX. Review and Discuss Proposed Incidental and Lab Fee Changes for Fall 2014 a. The annual review of incidental and lab fees has been concluded by the Instructional Affairs Committee and their recommendations were reviewed for adoption to be effective for the Fall 2014 semester. b. In addition, four fees (subsequently changed to be two fees) were identified that were included as changes for the Spring 2014 semester that were identified as additional courses added for Spring 2014. These fees will be included in the approval and will be retroactive. c. Approval of these fees will be an action item for the March 3, 2014, Board of Trustees Meeting. X. Review and Discuss TACC Spring 14 Tuition Survey a. The annual Texas Association of Community Colleges survey of tuition and fees charged by the 50 community colleges in the state was shared. The survey lists the tuition and fees charged by each institution for in-district residents, out-of-district residents, and nonresidents for 12-semester credit hours. b. The survey indicates that the College maintains a very competitive position for our students in all three residency categories. Fifty-one percent of the College’s enrollment is in district. c. Dr. Hellyer briefly talked about the possibility of increasing tuition in the near future for Fall 2014 implementation. d. Fiscal Affairs is currently developing a differential tuition model for future discussion, but it will not be completed and vetted in time for discussion for Fall 14 tuition and fee adoption discussions. e. The 10-year history of the College’s tuition and fee rates was shared. XI. Review and Discuss Annual Financial Accounting Report Fiscal Year Ending August 2013 Required Communication from Doeren Mayhew a. The required communications from the auditors was shared outlining the minor deficiencies that were noted during the audit. The auditors shared this information at the December Board Workshop. b. This document will be shared with the full Board at the March 3, 2014, meeting. XII. Review and Discuss Wetland Mitigation Extension Agreement a. An action item on the March Board agenda will be the ratification of the mitigation 69 Finance Committee Meeting Minutes February 17, 2014 Page 4 extension agreement. A copy of the agreement was shared. b. This extension is required because the U.S. Corps of Engineeers permit process is not complete. XIII. Adjournment 5:55 pm 70 Action Item “XIII“ Regular Board Meeting March 3, 2014 Consideration of Approval of Amendment to the 2013-2014 Budget for Restricted Revenue and Expenses Relating to Federal and State Grants ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION/REPORT The Chancellor recommends that the Board of Trustees approve an amendment to the 20132014 budget for restricted revenue and expenses related to grants. BACKGROUND Federal, state, and local grant activity is ongoing as amendments to currently active grants are processed and new grants are awarded. In order to fund the objectives of the grants, grant operating budgets must be established in a timely manner. This request for a budget amendment reflects the additions to restricted revenues and restricted expenses as a result of amendments and new awards received during the month of February 2014. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Approval of the budget amendment will allow the College’s staff to implement the programs in accordance with the requirements of the additionally funded award amounts. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) Restricted revenues and restricted expenses will each be increased by $135,709, so the net impact on the College budget is zero. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE The Office of Grants Management provides continuous monitoring of grant operations, which are included in the annual financial report to the Board of Trustees.

Within each chapter of the TEKS are Career and Technical Education subchapters which are divided into several clusters. Two of the clusters that pertain to early childhood education are Human Services and Education and Training. High school teachers can be certified to teach several of these clusters depending upon their degrees and concentration of majors. The grant funds will be used to work through the certification eligibility and process of certifying a high school teacher. A faculty member of San Jacinto Community College will join the process to teach the Student Learning Outcomes class. Texas Workforce Commission/Brazosport College/San Jacinto College - Brazosport College in Partnership with Dow Chemical Company (Additional Funds) The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Skills Development Fund is a job–training program that provides training dollars for Texas businesses and workers. Success is achieved through collaboration among businesses, public community and technical colleges, local workforce development boards, and economic development partners. A consortium of businesses or a trade union identifies a training need, and then partners with a public community or technical college to fill its specific needs. The business entities work with college partners to submit proposals, develop curricula and conduct training. The TWC Skills Development Fund pays for the training. The college administers the grant, and businesses will create new jobs and improve the skills of their current workers. This grant is funded to Brazosport College. San Jacinto College is a sub-recipient of Brazosport and will perform some of the training. The grant was extended and additional funds were supplied to complete the training. Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board - Cost Effectiveness of a Common Application Form for Nursing - Nursing Innovations Program (New Grant) The grant seeks representatives from eligible institutions of higher education to participate in the analysis of adopting a common application form for nursing students. The selected representative will represent San Jacinto Community College District in formal and informal discussions, provide information pertinent to the project, and travel to Austin and other possible sites for one or more meetings during the grant period. The costs of the travel to attend projectrelated meetings would be reimbursed by the grant. The Higher Education Coordinating Board - Professional Nursing Shortage Reduction Program Under 70 program, Central Campus (Reduction of funds) This program is designed to achieve the following outcomes: 1) increase the number of graduates from professional nursing programs, 2) increase the percentage of students in professional nursing programs that graduate within a reasonable time as determined by the board, and 3) increase the number of graduates from master’s and doctoral programs in nursing that join the faculty of a professional nursing program. San Jacinto College Central Nursing did not meet the Attachment 2 – Grant Detail – 03-03-14 74 graduation rate required by the grant so funds were reduced. The total grant award was $100,000 and has been reduced to $95,477. Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation (MDRC) - Aid Like a Paycheck Pilot Program (New Grant) Instead of giving low-income college students their financial aid in a lump sum, the Aid Like a Paycheck Pilot Program disburses the money every two weeks in an effort to help promote academic success and smart financial management. A new paper released by the nonprofit research organization MDRC analyzes the new "Aid Like a Paycheck" project launched by the Institute for College Access and Success in 2009. It was designed to encourage students to think of school as a job in which regular attendance and effort are rewarded. The hope was also to entice students to stay in school, since their aid was tied to continued enrollment. Houston Endowment has funded San Jacinto College to pilot this program. If successful in the pilot the project will be considered for scale up. Robert Woods Johnson Foundation/University of Texas Health Science Center – Summer Medical & Dental Education Program (SMDEP) (Year 5 - Additional Funds) The RWJF SMDEP seeks talented and motivated students from a variety of backgrounds including those who are underrepresented or underserved who are interested in pursuing a career in dentistry or medicine, including those who have an interest in serving the underserved. The mission of SMDEP is to assist students in enhancing their knowledge, skills, and attitudes to make them more competitive and to improve their chances of becoming successful applicants to a medical or dental school of their choice. Charles Koch Foundation – Grant to Promote Entrepreneurship (New Grant) The Charles Koch Foundation adheres to the idea that economic freedom drives prosperity, and the study of it is vital to the continued progress of society. Through grant-giving, the Foundation aims to advance an understanding of how economic freedom improves the well-being of people around the world. The Foundation also provides opportunities that allow people to learn more about economic freedom and contribute to its advancement. The grant project is sponsoring a reading discussion on the North campus. Dow Chemical Co. - Dow Cares - Plus 50 Computer Literacy Program (New Grant) The focus of this award is to train a special population of students who are over 50 years of age with basic computer skills. The fund also allows for a part-time tutor to work one-on –one with students who are struggling with the concepts taught during the class period. Attachment 2 – Grant Detail – 03-03-14 75 Action Item “XIV” Board Meeting March 3, 2014 Consideration of Approval of a Grandfathered Optional Retirement Program (ORP) Supplemental Contribution Change for September 2014 ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION/REPORT The Chancellor recommends the approval of a proposed Optional Retirement Program (ORP) supplemental contribution change for all participants effective September 2014. BACKGROUND The State of Texas (State) has two retirement programs: Texas Retirement System (TRS) and the Optional Retirement Program (ORP). Participation in the ORP plan depends on position (faculty and those above the director level are eligible), and an election must be made by the employee within the first 90 days of employment. During a legislative session in the early 1990’s, the state ORP contribution rate was lowered from 8.5 % to 7.31%. At that time, institutions were authorized to use local funds or other sources of funds to provide a supplement to the state base rate allowing for a total employer contribution of 8.5%. Over time the State contribution has varied and institutions selecting to supplement had varied contributions from 1.19% to 2.50% to maintain the maximum 8.5% contribution. San Jacinto College began contributing the difference for employees participating in the ORP at the time of the legislative change. Those employees participating in the plan since 1995 have been considered grandfathered and higher contributions have continued for this group. Many other colleges made the election to contribute at the maximum allowable ORP limit or at some additional amount less than the ORP maximum amount. Institutions are not required to provide any supplement or continue any supplements. Institutions may provide the same supplemental rate to all participants or may provide two different rates, one for the grandfather group and another for the non-grandfather group. A participant is in the institution’s grandfathered group if he/she first started participating in ORP at any Texas public institution of higher education prior to September 1, 1995, whether or not the participant subsequently changed ORP employers or had a break in service with the same ORP employer. San Jacinto College does not provide ORP supplemental contributions to employees hired by San Jacinto College who become a grandfathered ORP participant at another Texas public institution of higher education. For San Jacinto College, the difference in the grandfathered ORP contribution has created an imbalance and inequity in contributions over the years. The grandfathered ORP participants have received greater contributions than the non-grandfathered ORP participants and the TRS group. In some years, the non-grandfathered ORP participants have received less contribution than the TRS group. For example, during fiscal year 2012-2013, nongrandfathered ORP participants received a combined state and college contribution of 6.0% versus 8.5% for grandfathered ORP participants and 6.4% for TRS participants. 76 Action Item “XIV” Board Meeting March 3, 2014 Consideration of Approval of a Grandfathered Optional Retirement Program (ORP) Supplemental Contribution Change for September 2014 The imbalance and impact for fiscal year 2013-2014 is shown below: • Summary of ORP contributions (not grandfathered) Employee contribution at 6.65% State contribution at 6.0% Total = 12.65% • Summary of ORP contributions (grandfathered ) Employee contribution at 6.65% State contribution at 6.07% Additional contribution by College at 2.5% Total = 15.15% • Summary of TRS contributions Employee contribution at 6.65% State contribution at 6.0% Total = 12.65% For the past three fiscal years the ORP grandfathered supplement resulted in additional average annual contributions of approximately $250,000. Currently there are 123 employees who are receiving the grandfathered supplement. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Approval by the Board of Trustees will provide the College the ability to provide an ORP supplemental contribution to all grandfathered and non-grandfathered participants of the ORP plan, thus providing for a continuing equitable resolution for fiscal year 2014-2015. Additionally, the ORP supplemental contribution will be set to the TRS contribution in order to obtain consistency between the plans. For 2014-2015, this will be accomplished by reducing the ORP supplemental contribution to provide the difference between the proposed TRS state contribution of 6.8% and the proposed ORP state contribution of 6.6% or .2% on an annual basis. This would be an anticipated cost of approximately $37,000 based off the current differential in state contributions for fiscal year 2014-2015 using 2014 salary rates. BUDGET INFORMATION Going forward the ORP supplement will be reviewed and approved annually in the budget process.

BACKGROUND The land purchased for construction of a Maritime Training Center along the Bayport Ship Channel has been found to contain jurisdictional wetlands as defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency. During the course of assessment by the project civil engineering firm of Brooks and Sparks Engineers, it was determined that approximately 2.24 acres of jurisdictional wetlands met the criteria requiring mitigation. In order to pursue further development, credits must be purchased from an approved wetlands bank that meets the criteria for offset. The authorized bank chosen for mitigation of these wetlands is owned by Regent Sienna Plantation Partnership, L.P. in Fort bend County, Texas. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION The process of finalizing the purchase of mitigating credits through the wetlands bank and subsequent approvals through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies is a process that could take 18 to 24 months to complete. Approval to negotiate and execute a contract for purchase of wetlands credits was approved by the Board of Trustees at a regular called meeting on January 28, 2013. The contract that was subsequently executed pursuant to that authorization was due to expire on February 5, 2014. The Vice Chancellor of Fiscal Affairs, on February 3, 2014, executed a one-year extension of that agreement to allow time for the mitigation permit to be approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) No budget impact for the extension. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE Periodic updates will be provided to the Board of Trustees.

BACKGROUND Property Tax Revenue The 2013-2014 College budget was approved by the Board on August 5, 2013. The budget for property tax revenue adopted in August was based on the preliminary certified tax roll value of $40.113B taxable assessed value (TAV) and an estimated Maintenance & Operations (M&O) tax rate of $0.125377. In September 2013, the certified tax rolls were received from Harris County with a certified TAV of $40.085B, very close to the preliminary certified values upon which the budget was adopted. However, 29% of the certified TAV was under protest or in process, so the ultimate collection value was uncertain. Based on the significance of the uncertainty, the Board adopted the 2013 M&O tax rate on October 3, 2013, at $0.125460 per $100 of valuation. The slight increase in the M&O tax rate was offset by an equal decrease in the debt service tax rate thus keeping the total tax rate the same as the previous year. As property tax protests are closed and in-progress items are resolved, the certified tax rolls are updated. Currently, four updates on certified TAV have been received from Harris County. The certified roll as of December 6, 2013, was $41.9B. The increase of $1.9B is due to uncertified and in-progress values converting to certified values at greater than a 1:1 ratio. Because of the increased value, revenue is estimated to be $1.3 million higher than originally budgeted. The increase in certified values is not considered to be a one-time adjustment but is largely based on the strong economic conditions of the region. Tuition and Fee Revenue Preliminary estimates used during budget adoption anticipated an approximate 2% increase in headcount and semester credit hours for the 2013-2014 academic year. The combination of increases added approximately $800,000 to the projected revenue budget. The Fall 2013 semester registration resulted in a 0.6% increase in headcount and a decrease in funded contact hours of 0.2%; the combination being essentially no change in revenue projections. The Spring 2014 semester registration counts as of February 27, 2014, report 86 Action Item “XVI“ Regular Board Meeting March 3, 2014 Consideration of Approval of a Budget Amendment For Property Tax Revenue and Tuition and Fee Revenue unduplicated headcount with a decrease of 0.2% and a contact hour decrease of 1.2%, compared to Spring 2013. Based on the current enrollment levels, it is recommended that the anticipated $800,000 tuition and fee revenue increase be eliminated in this budget amendment. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Approval of this 2013-2014 budget amendment by the Board of Trustees will allow the College’s budget to reflect the anticipated increase in property tax revenue of $1,300,000 and a decrease in budgeted tuition and fee revenue of $800,000. The cumulative effect is a net increase of $500,000. BUDGET INFORMATION The 2013-2014 unrestricted budget of the College will be increased by $500,000. During the 2013-2014 budget development process, items were put on hold until the property tax revenue was determined to be more stable. Over the past months, those on-hold requests were prioritized and various resources were reallocated. Based on the additional resources, a variety of priorities will be funded including select positions, equipment purchases, and additional costs related to services for hearing impaired students. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE Property tax revenue and tuition and fee revenue are subject to audit by the independent external auditors for the College. ATTACHMENTS None RESOURCE PERSONNEL Kenneth D. Lynn 281.998.6306 [email protected] 87 Action Item “XVII“ Regular Board Meeting March 3, 2014 Consideration of Approval to Modify Incidental & Lab Fees ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION/REPORT The Chancellor recommends that the Board of Trustees approve modifications to the College’s incidental and lab fee schedule to be effective for the Spring 2014 and Fall 2014 semesters. BACKGROUND The proposed fee changes have been recommended and approved through the Fall 2013 curriculum process. All curriculum revisions including incidental and laboratory fees are reviewed and approved by campus instructional affairs committees, the instruction and student services council, and the Provosts. New fees are either due to new course offerings or additional course requirements that necessitated establishment of new fees. Fees modifications result from either reduced lab requirements, changes in accreditation requirements or increases in certification fees charged on a headcount basis. In some cases, previously charged fees are no longer required and a recommendation is being made to remove them. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Adoption of the fee recommendations will establish new course fees, modify existing fees, or delete existing fees. The majority of the fees are effective with the Fall 2014 semester. Two fees went into effect Spring 2014 and are being approved retroactively. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) The net effect of the recommended fee changes will have a minimal impact on the 2013-2014 operating budget and no budget adjustment is required because of this recommendation. Revenue for fees effective Fall 2014 will be built into the 2014-2015 budget. There are no staffing implications to this recommendation.

BACKGROUND Policy VI-GG was approved by the Board of Trustees on July 15, 2013. This policy reflects the substantive change requirements of the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges. While the Board of Trustees does not approve guidelines related to the implementation of a policy, it was determined at the time of approval that those guidelines would be brought back to the Board of Trustees at a subsequent time as an informational item. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION The guideline for policy VI-GG has been developed and is considered effective immediately. The guideline includes training, internal reporting, review, and a recommendation along with guidance on the nature of changes. Finally, a Substantive Change Report Form has been developed to assist with the reporting of substantive changes. BUDGET INFORMATION No budgetary impact. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE The Board will be notified of any changes that require its action.

Training Through comprehensive and regular training of key employees, plus timely and accurate reporting to the Strategic Leadership Team (SLT), San Jacinto College will comply with the SACSCOC policies on substantive change. The SACSCOC Liaison will hold periodic training on substantive change policies of the commission. The target audience for the training will be department chairs, deans, directors of dual credit, Vice President for Distance Education, Vice President for Continuing and Professional Development, and leaders of the curriculum development process. The content of this training will be the basic requirements for SACSCOC prior notice and prior approval for substantive changes in programs and teaching sites. The table below summarizes the topics that require prior notice or approval. 2. Internal Reporting Timely and accurate internal reporting will happen through a process whereby college administration will send these changes that may require prior notice or approval to the SLT through the SACSCOC Liaison. 3. Review The SACSCOC Liaison will convene a task force to consider the suggested substantive changes. The task force will include administrators who are familiar with recent curriculum changes, recent changes in off campus teaching locations, recent program proposals from the Workforce and Economic Development Council, provosts, and other officials who will have direct knowledge of substantive changes. 4. Recommendation After the consideration of the possible substantive change by the task force, the SACSCOC Liaison will make a recommendation to the Deputy Chancellor/President of the College and prepare a draft letter, program notification, and relevant prospectuses, as required. The Deputy Chancellor/President of the College will then present recommendations to the Chancellor (or SLT). The Board of Trustees will be informed by the Chancellor of any items requiring action by the Board.

BACKGROUND An invitation to bid, Project Number 12-05, was issued in December 2011 to procure commercial truck repair services for the College. The Board approved a contract with Crosby Mechanical Services in February 2012. Due to the age of the College’s commercial truck fleet, which ranges from 1988 to 2004, equipment maintenance and repair is required monthly by certified personnel to ensure they are operational and safe for use. Crosby Mechanical has a long history with the College and has gone above and beyond normal duties to help maintain the College’s fleet to meet instructional purposes. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Approval of this renewal will provide repair services on an as-needed basis for the tractor trailers used by the Commercial Truck Driving program as part of their training and degree program. Renewal of this contract will ensure the College’s trucks are safe for use on public streets and students can continue their instruction. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) The estimated annual expenditure for this commodity is $80,000. This expenditure will be funded by the CPD Commercial Truck Driving department’s 2013-2014 operating budgets and subsequent year budget, subject to approval by the Board. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE This renewal will exercise the final one-year renewal option available in the contract. The new term contract will be February 6, 2014 through February 5, 2015.

BACKGROUND A request for proposals, Project Number 09-25 was issued in 2009 to provide snack vending services for the College. The Board approved the original contract with McLiff Vending and Office Coffee in April 2009. Vending services are managed by the Auxiliary Services department and are structured as a revenue-generating service contract. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Mcliff has proven to be both a responsive and responsible vendor. They respond timely to vending issues which occur on the campuses and consistently strive to expand their customer base which results in additional revenue generated for the College. Since the initial contract award they have proactively updated many of their machines to include card readers which can accept credit and debit card payments and allows them to remain competitive with the other snack and beverage providers on campuses, i.e., Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, and food services outlets. Changing the College’s snack vending provider would entail the removal and exchange of all the existing vendor-owned equipment requiring significant logistical planning on the part of college staff and probable disruptions in service to our students. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) In 2012, the Auxiliary Service Department completed an analysis comparing vending machine commissions earned to the equivalent number of full time students at each college. The results amongst the six community colleges analyzed, showed San Jacinto College in the top three, with the two higher-ranking colleges having more campuses, more square footage and more vending machines on campus. Based on historical data, the projected annual contract revenue for 2013-2014 is $61,000. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE This renewal will exercise the first of five one-year contract renewal options available. The extended contract term will be April 13, 2014 through April 12, 2015.

BACKGROUND The 23.8 acre parcel under discussion is located west of Uvalde between Hamblen Drive and Wallisville Road. The land was purchased in April 2010 to provide for future expansion of the North Campus. Pursuant to a proposed development program, investigations are required to determine the specific requirements necessary to allow for construction of College facilities on the land. The College is considering constructing a new vocational/technical training facility. Demand for classes such as diesel engine technology, welding technology, pipefitting, and other industrial offerings are increasing significantly. Additionally, the existing facilities located on the northeast perimeter of the North Campus are reaching end of useful life. At the March 4, 2013 regular Board meeting, approval was granted for the contract to conduct investigation and activities related to site development for the 23.8 acre property. On May 5, 2013, an amendment to the contract was approved by the Board to include additional services related to site development and investigation. The services included in the current contract are for site development and related investigations. The services include but are not limited to, metes and bounds surveys, acquisition of all pertinent plans, filing platting documents with Harris County, investigating right-of-ways and easements, determining steps necessary to assure local utilities are deliverable and available, working with Harris County on traffic study and control solutions, wetlands delineation and mitigation activities, and developing basic plans for physical development of the land. When the property was purchased, the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment identified wetlands. As the site development work has continued, it became obvious that additional investigation needed to be conducted especially since the tract is densely vegetated. It was determined that the appropriate next step is for supervised underbrush clearing to occur in order to allow access to the entire surface area of the tract and to prepare the tract for a nationwide wetlands permitting process. Because of the existence of documented national register wetlands, an on-site biologist will supervise underbrush clearing of approximately 20 acres of the property. This additional scope of work will provide for detailed wetlands identification, mapping, and set the path for a permitting plan. Underbrush clearing is a necessary step to properly develop the property. Standing timber will not be disturbed until a master use plan of the tract is developed after determination of site footprints and access features. 1014 Purchase Request #3 Regular Board Meeting March 3, 2014 Consideration of Approval of Additional Funds for Site Development Services Professional engineering services are defined as professional services in Section 2254 of the Texas Government Code and are exempt from competitive bidding per Section 44.031(f) of the Texas Education Code. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Completion of this land site clearing and biological investigation will allow for progress in developing plans for future expansion of the instructional complex at the North Campus. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) The current approved expenditure for this project is $158,830. Additional funding in the amount of $59,500 is requested, bringing the total contract value to $218,330. This expenditure will be funded through College operating funds. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE This project will be monitored by College’s Facilities & Construction personnel and is expected to require Two-Hundred Twenty-Five (225) calendar days to complete.

BACKGROUND San Jacinto College is in the midst of its 2008 Bond Program. This program has been largely focused on new facilities based on the last master planning effort that was conducted from 2005 through 2008. The College is at a point where it needs to reassess its current facilities and how those facilities are meeting the current and future needs of its student and community constituents. The College has 67 buildings comprising more than 2.6 million square feet of space. Thirty-eight of those facilities, encompassing approximately 1.4 million square feet, are more than 30 years old and nine of those facilities are actually 45 years old or older. As the educational needs and expectations continue to change, these facilities are not equipped to meet the needs of our constituents. Many of these facilities may have reached their useful life in terms of mechanical systems, instructional obsolescence, and capacity. A detailed in-depth assessment of each of these facilities is needed in order to determine the most economical and cost beneficial approach for renovation versus demolition and building new. Additionally, the College has recently completed a utilization study and is constantly looking at enrollment trends and potential new programs. This information, along with the 2013 demographic study, will guide and inform the 2015 College-wide Building Program and its outcomes. Additionally, a broad-based group of faculty, staff, and administrators will be engaged in an interactive process to assess and validate facility needs. Finally, as part of this work Rizzo & Associates, LLC will work with an appointed team of maintenance and construction personnel designated to review and upgrade standards for the construction and renovation of college facilities. These standards will incorporate the lessons learned from the 2008 Bond Program including the development of architectural and exterior construction guidance by campus, classroom and lecture room standards, and green building methodology. The services provided by Rizzo & Associates, LLC under this contract are considered professional services as defined by Section 2254 of the Texas Government Code and are exempt from competitive bidding per Section 44.031 (f) of the Texas Education Code. Both partners of Rizzo & Associates, LLC have worked with the College through the planning and program management of its last two building programs. Their history and past performance with San Jacinto College provides a significant advantage in their ability to assess and develop the components of the comprehensive 2015 College-wide Building Program in the proposed timeline. 1036 Purchase Request #4 Regular Board Meeting March 3, 2014 Consideration of Approval of a Contract for 2015 College-wide Building Program IMPACT OF THIS ACTION The completion of the 2015 College-wide Building Program will provide a comprehensive plan of the prioritized need for new or renovated facilities and infrastructure that support the educational and support programs of each campus and the college as a whole. This plan will provide the basis for the Board of Trustees to determine the cost and financing requirements of the College’s building program and determination of a bond election. Additionally, this plan will meet requirements established by the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to assess if the institution has adequate physical reserves to support the mission of the institution and the scope of its programs and services. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) The total cost of the contract with Rizzo & Associates, LLC is $175,000. Additional costs are anticipated as consultants such as engineers and architects are needed to assist with assessment and recommendations. Such consultants will be contracted with on an as needed basis and must be approved by the Chancellor in advance. Requests for such approvals will be brought to the Board of Trustees as required by state law and the College’s purchasing requirements. This request will be funded from the fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2015 operating budgets of Facilities and Construction and the Vice Chancellor of Fiscal Affairs. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE Regular updates will be made to the Board’s Building Committee and periodic updates to the full Board. It is anticipated that work and preliminary review will begin in April 2014 and will continue through January 2015 with final reports to the Board of Trustees in June 2015.

Our Team of Professionals • Rizzo & Associates o Frank Rizzo, Partner o Ron Rucker, Partner Our team will report directly to the Chancellor for this project. The Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities and Construction will be expected to be fully engaged and informed and attend all meetings on the project. The Vice Chancellor of Fiscal Affairs will work closely with the Chancellor and Rizzo & Associates and will need to understand all fiscal aspects of the project. • Outside Consultants If outside consultants are needed, they will only be hired after consultation with Chancellor Hellyer. Those listed below are recommended because of their expertise in their field and their long-standing knowledge of and familiarity with, the College’s facilities: o ACR Engineers, Mechanical Engineers o Bay Architects o Building Exterior Solutions o Walter P. Moore, Structural Engineers o Brooks & Sparks Engineers o Others that may be determined Goal for the 2015 College-wide Building Program Develop a comprehensive College-wide Building Program outlining the prioritized need for new or renovated facilities and infrastructure that support the educational and support programs of each campus and the college as a whole. Objectives of the 2015 College-wide Building Program • New Construction Based on the educational programs and instructional needs throughout the San Jacinto College District, identify the requirements for new construction or additions to existing facilities. 1 1058 • Campus Site Development Study and analyze current campus sites o Review placement of current buildings o Identify future building sites for each campus o Identify buildings deemed for demolition and those which may provide future building sites for development on a particular campus • Renovation Identify and prioritize the need for renovation of the College’s existing facilities: o Because of the number of aging facilities on each campus, an in-depth analysis of each facility will be performed o The process will include validating and updating the current facility assessments for each building to determine if it is more economical or cost beneficial to renovate or to demolish and build new o Assess the instructional and student support obsolescence of the facilities o A prioritization of buildings on each campus needing renovation and a sequencing of work will be developed All of the College’s present buildings cannot be renovated at once, nor can all of them be renovated in one single bond measure. • Infrastructure Involves the following elements: o High Voltage/Electrical o HVAC o Technology Fiber Data Communication Audio Visual o Gas o Water/Waste Water o Life Safety o Storm System These elements play a major role in the design and operation of any new facility and in determining the remaining life of current facilities. During the renovation study, these elements will be critical in developing and prioritizing renovation projects. • Civil Work Identify and prioritize the need for new site work for a respective campus and would encompass: o Parking Lots o Drainage o Detention o Roads and Entries • Standards Manuals San Jacinto College has made progress in standardization on constructing and renovating College Facilities. These are living documents that need to be updated. Currently, the College Construction Department has in place: o Process for justification of a new facility o Process for the construction of a new facility o Process for defining instructional requirements for a new facility o Standards manual for new construction o Standardization of furniture for classrooms and offices o Standards for interior finishes and a color palate for new or renovation construction. (Need to enforce the usage of these finishes and color palate among all design firms) o Commissioning process for all new facilities 2 1069 Future standardization needs: o Need to better define and coordinate the exterior construction of new facilities to aesthetically blend with the existing architecture on each campus o Need to standardize the size of instructional areas, referring primarily to general purpose lecture-type rooms o It is suggested the College standardize the size of: 32 seat classroom 36 seat classroom 60 seat tiered lecture room 90 seat tiered lecture room Others as defined by the end user team o Standardize all instructional technology/audio visual equipment, not just in new facilities, but in building renovations, as well. (With regard to technology, faculty members should be able to walk into any classroom and be exposed to the same type of equipment and instructional methodology). o Green building standards (Incorporate smart design and green building methodology into current College standards). Building Program Planning San Jacinto College will furnish Rizzo & Associates all current relevant data the College has through its Instructional Research Office or any special studies conducted in-house or by other consultants regarding, but not limited to: • Enrollment by campus • List of technical programs by campus and enrollment for each • List of any plans for new programs (and for what campus) • Any demographic or utilization studies that have been developed since the 2009 Master Plan • Any plans for expanding college locations, where located, and types of programs to be offered. • Any additional information that will be beneficial in moving the 2015 College-wide Building Program forward in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. Implementation Procedures The planning of the 2015 College-wide Building Program will involve working with a broad-based group of individuals, including faculty, staff, and administrators in an interactive planning process, as well as, working closely with the Board Building Committee and the Board, as a whole. • Kick-Off Meeting Conduct a workshop comprised of College administrators which will be the 2015 College-wide Building Program Committee. (See Attachment A) First: o o o Discuss overall plans, goals and objectives of the 2015 College-wide Building Program Have a clear understanding by all parties of the elements of the building program Come to an understanding of who the major participants will be for the program Example: The need for new construction will be driven by College personnel, all guided by instructional and student support needs and enrollment and utilization justifications. The need for renovation will be driven by College personnel to meet instructional and student support needs including enrollment and utilization justifications, along with the involvement of maintenance/construction personnel. The need for infrastructure and civil work will be driven by analysis and study by maintenance/construction personnel and in some instances, the need for outside resources. 3 10 107 Second: o Review and refine the goals that San Jacinto College identified for new facilities that were developed in the College’s last Master Plan. Third: o • Begin discussion on the perceived needs for new facilities or renovations (even though this is in the early stages) Note: These perceived needs must be justified by enrollment, utilization, and other data. Campus In-Put for New Construction Rizzo & Associates will facilitate meetings to assist in collecting additional input from each campus following the kick-off meeting with the 2015 College-wide Building Program Committee. We will request that each Campus Building Committee (see Attachment B) gather information from their departments requesting input for new facilities or renovations. Rizzo & Associates will compile this information and facilitate a strategy for facility needs, whether it is for new construction or renovations. Any request for a new facility must include data driven justification for the facility before it will be carried forward. Research will be conducted to justify these needs, determine facility requirements, and begin the process of estimating a project budget. This list of recommended requests for new and renovated facilities by the Campus Building Committee will then be taken back to the 2015 College-wide Building Program Committee to discuss and prioritize their requests. • Site Analysis Once the list of new facilities is finalized, an analysis of site development for each campus will be conducted to identify sites for new buildings and identify future building sites on each campus. • Renovation/Building Assessment/Infrastructure Concurrently, a team composed of maintenance/construction personnel will be assembled to update the current assessment report on all existing buildings (excluding those built in the 1999 & 2008 Bond Programs). This will require the services of staff, as well as ACR Engineering, BES Consultants, and any other consultant that may be required. A major portion of the building assessment data will identify the infrastructure needs for any building which is a candidate for renovation. An additional assessment will have to be conducted for any major infrastructure work needed on a campus, outside of the facilities themselves. • Civil Work Related to construction of new facilities and site analysis, various elements of civil work will have to be identified for parking lot considerations, storm drainage, and impact on detention. • Updating Standards Manuals Rizzo & Associates will work with an appointed team of maintenance and construction personnel designated to review and upgrade standards for the construction and renovation of San Jacinto College facilities. Producing Final Report on 2015 College-wide Building Program This report will provide a prioritized list of needed projects for: • New construction, along with related site plan for each campus 4 11 108 • • • • • • Renovations for each campus Infrastructure projects for each campus Civil work projects for each campus Updated Building Assessment Report for each building on each campus (except those built in the 1999 Bond Program or the 2008 Bond Program). Updated Standards Budget estimates will be provided for each segment of work Schedule All scheduling is based on the full cooperation of San Jacinto College personnel to participate and meet all scheduled meetings and appointments. This cooperation is imperative in order for the November 2015 deadline to be met.

Financial Statement Update Bryan Jones, Ron Rucker, and Frank Rizzo left meeting. Brenda Hellyer reviewed list of Texas community colleges with NJCAA athletic programs and the division participants. Brenda Hellyer reviewed the Title IX Compliance Checklist for Athletes. Ken Lynn gave an update on the college’s financial statement with a comparison of December 12, 2013 with December 31, 2012. Consolidated Results of Operations – Dec. 31 • 2013 - $926,916 (net increase) • 2012 - $8,854,182 (net increase) • Difference - $(7,927,266) The decline in the net increase at this point in time is due to multiple changes related to revenue and expenses. Major Changes in Revenue – Unrestricted • Allowance for Bad Debt Offset to Revenue - $1.6 million (recorded during the year versus at year-end which is what has been done in the past; increase in allowance was budgeted) 2 116 Major Changes in Expenses – Unrestricted • Instruction - Increase - $1.5 million (combination of salary, benefit increases, and outside provider for CPD grant activity) • Institutional Support - Increase - $1.1 million (salary and benefit increase along with Banner Improvement Project, advertising and equipment software purchases) • Physical Plant - Increase - $.5 million (timing on custodial payment, increase in insurance and construction) • Student Services - Increase - $.4 million (increase in salaries and benefits) Major Changes in Expenses – Other Fund Types - Increase - $2.9 million (due to depreciation, interest expense, and scholarships) All expense increases were budgeted. VIII. Enrollment Update Brenda Hellyer gave an update on enrollment. Using the Texas Association of Community Colleges (TACC) survey for spring 2014 preliminary enrollment (including fall flex entry) San Jacinto College is up .3% in headcount and 1.8% in contact hours compared to State averages of 1.2% decline in headcount and .1% in contact hours. Two large colleges had not reported at this time. Comparing spring 2014 term enrollment (without fall flex entry) our headcount is up .7% and contact hours are down .7%. IX. Interpreting Services Discussion For fiscal year 2014, a plan was developed to hire interpreters rather than contracting those services. This plan was developed to reduce costs and provide for more flexibility in scheduling. The positions have been posted but we have not been able to fill due to finalists wanting much higher salaries than we are offering. We have been forced 3 117 to continue with the contractor and purchase request #1 is requested to increase the contract amount. The budget will be moved from salaries to cover a portion of the increase. Additionally, funds will be reallocated from other sources to cover the additional costs related to increased services. The level of services has increased because of the number of students being served has increased. For fiscal year 2012-2013, 48 students were served versus currently at 52 for 2013-2014 with summer still to go. X. XII.

BACKGROUND Adoption of the budget by the Board of Trustees in August of each year serves as the authorization to expend funds for the next fiscal year. The budget is adopted by functional classification (or cost elements: Instruction, Academic Support, Student Services, Institutional Support, and Operation and Maintenance of Plant) as defined by the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO). Realizing that the budget is a viable document that reflects the evolving needs of the College in terms of meeting goals and objectives, occasional movement of budgeted funds between cost elements is desirable and warranted. The budget transfers under consideration represent previously authorized expenditures that are requested to be reclassified from one cost element to another cost element. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Approval of the budget transfers will allow the College to more effectively utilize existing resources in fulfilling its instructional objectives. BUDGET INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY STAFFING IMPLICATIONS) None – reclassification of existing authorizations.
