Maintenance – Keeping fixed assets in acceptable condition. Includes: Preventive Maintenance (Annual and Periodic) Normal Repairs Replacement of parts and structural components. Other activities to preserve the assets. Deferred maintenance and repairs include the part of facilities maintenance activities that are: Postponed to align institutional priorities or plans Postponed to achieve maximum benefit/savings through a more comprehensive project Postponed due to lack of available funding that can be used toward such needs II.Maintenance and Deferred Maintenance 7

III.Approach and Process to Identifying Maintenance and Deferred Maintenance Projects A. Facilities Condition Survey and Infrastructure Maintenance Needs Report Each required by CHE every three years. Useful to the University to determine: Facility conditions: result of inspections summarized for overview of total facility conditions. Deficiency costs: summarized by components and subsystems, priority and facility. Major repairs and renovations: summarized by cost, priority and facility. Departmental Needs: Renovations or realignment of programs. Integration of facilities planning into financial planning and budgeting. 8

B.Practical University Approach Whether an issue becomes a deferred maintenance project depends on two criteria: Are funds available to fix the issue now Can we extend the operability of the system; for example: repair roof leaks versus replace the roof. Maintain a prioritized list of deferred maintenance projects using the Building Condition Survey and Infrastructure Maintenance Needs Report as a basis. Execute when funds become available 9

IV.University Capital Projects and Maintenance Account A.Uses Account used for small capital projects, renovations, unforeseen repairs, and dealing with extraordinary maintenance emergencies and most immediate deferred maintenance needs. Examples – Construction of a new Office Services Building to replace a structure built in the early 1960s. Unexpected replacement of sewer lines under Ervin Dining Hall. B.Means of Account Accrual As part of required tuition and fees, $10 per credit hour up to a maximum of $100 is set aside to fund this account per semester. Investment income. Non-recurring funds periodically appropriated by the General Assembly 10

V.Deferred Maintenance Funding in Appropriations A. Amount – Capital Reserve Fund Appropriations - $1.1M Lottery Funds - $.5M Total - $1.6M B.

VIISummary and Conclusions Believe we are good stewards of the fiscal, capital and real assets we are fortunate to have. Rapid growth of the University has made it incumbent to implement a concentrated and efficient approach to: Manage the Physical requirements of maintaining a continually aging physical plant. Maintain the means to adequately care for the upkeep of our newest facilities. Provide an environment that is aesthetically pleasing and well suited to the teaching and education of our students. Most grateful for any appropriations the Legislature could fund to assist us in achieving our objectives. 13
