Appropriation - Authority to let State supported contracts and disburse cash, established in State budget
Hard Dollar Capital Appropriation
Revolving Loan/Campus Reserves $0 requested for
Annual Transfer Limits – $80M from DIFR(330) to Rehab(074)
Article VII Legislation – Part B of the Education, Labor and Family Assistance (ELFA) Bill
The residence hall program was restructured in the budget, with future debt issuances being removed from the State bond cap. The bill allows for $944M in bonding and will eliminate the need for future capital bonded appropriations, allowing the program to plan over multi-year periods.

Capital Plan Request – Spring 2017

Some worksheets have been modified slightly from what you have received in previous years.
Changes outlined in subsequent slides

10. Res Hall Capital Plan – Changes
“Part 1 - Last Years Cap Plan”
No Change from previous years
“Part 2 - Building Inventory”
“Part 3 – DASNY Proj Budget Rpt”
Listed are all active projects in DASNY’s system as of 3/31/17, this sheet was used to populate the cash flow values on “Part 4 LTD Cash Flow Bonding”

11. Res Hall Capital Plan – Changes
“Part 4 – LTD Cash Flow Bonding“
This spreadsheet is used to indentify projects that require additional cash-flow bonding/debt service to be accounted for in “Part 8 – Total Debt Service”, if sheet is blank no action is required.
Listed are all projects that have either a portion or the entire project budget allocated from cash flow bond sales (2008 and beyond).
To be listed, one of the following scenarios are met:
They are listed in DASNY’s system as of 3/31/2017 or;
They were listed on last year’s capital plan in or and it is anticipated that the projects will utilize funds from the ’15 or ‘17 bond sale.
Please review the results shown in the “Future Bonding to Account For” section. If it is decided that additional bonding is not required, please enter a (negative) value in the “Additional/(Cutback)” section of this sheet. This means the project is currently over funded and will need to be cutback.

12. Res Hall Capital Plan – Changes
“Part 5 – Current Debt Service”
This is based on data campuses received from SUNY Controllers Office.
At the bottom of the sheet, in the FY, there are estimated adjustments to the 2015 sale based on our most current projections.
The adjustment shown in is cumulative and covers 4 years worth of estimated adjustments ( through )
These new projected debt service amounts are linked to “Part 8 – Total Debt Service”
Please note that until the 2015 sale is completely spent, the respective debt service will remain at the original amount by campus.

13. Res Hall Capital Plan – Changes
“Part 6 - New Capital Plan”
This serves the same purpose as it has in the past. It allows us to quantify the project dollars needed for both bonded and hard dollar work.
The “Bonded” or “HD Cash” dollar values you enter should be the additional project budget needed to let contracts. Please do not list projects that already have their full budgets in DASNY’s financial system or those with full allocation in SFS. (please do not list cash-flow or disbursement projections)
If a project is already partially funded, place that amount in the “CURRENTLY in DASNY's system or SFS” column and utilize the “Bonded” or “HD Cash” columns to reflect the balance of project budget needed to fully fund the project.
Please note that the date section of this sheet is now shaded pink. All projects must have dates entered in this section or the plan will be returned. Project dates are critical, and are used to determine the timing and sizing of future bond sales. These dates are also used to help calculate the borrowing spread by year included on Part 7.

14. Res Hall Capital Plan – Changes
“Part 7 – Borrowing Spread by Year”
All debt service for projects entered on Part 6 is automatically calculated and spread across the corresponding future years. In order for this sheet to function correctly all dates must be populated on Part 7.
Use this data to help populate future bonded borrowing on Part 8.
“Part 8 - Total Debt Service”
Options are listed as estimates of what it might cost to borrow certain amounts in future years. Please consult w/ Don Smith prior to choosing capitalized interest.
Based on the timing of our most recent sale (4/2017), there will not be another bond offering in the FY. Any new borrowing should be entered in the FY or later.
For new projects that you add to “Part 6”, or for amounts not accounted for in Part 4, please add the same amount in future bonding in and beyond. If you are not using Part 7 to assist in calculating the spread of future borrowing, please use the samples in the Capital Plan procedure for guidance.

15. Res Hall Capital Plan – Changes
“Part 9 - Cash Flow”
Please start by completing the projected values for This is then used as the starting point for future values linked via increase factors.
The actual values for the O&M and R&R reserve have been populated for to reflect actual amounts being certified June 1 to T&F.
Please note that the room rate increase factor has been changed to 0% for the entire 10 year plan. Please adjust accordingly to reflect realistic and attainable rate increases.
All submitted plans must be solvent and reflect overall positive cash balances throughout the life of the plan. Any plans submitted in the “red” will be returned to be reworked.
