1. 2010-2011 San Diego Community College District Preliminary Budget General Fund Unrestricted Only Information Item March 25, 2010

2. So why a Preliminary Budget if it is not a legal requirement? It provides a status report on budget reduction efforts since 2007-08, which have been implemented in response to revenue reductions over a three (3) year period. It provides a status report on the relationship between continuous revenue and continuous expenses as of 2010-11( SDCCD Structural Budget issue). As the Tentative Budget, which is approved in June of each year, is too late to make decisions that impact the first half of the upcoming year, a Preliminary Budget provides time to review, plan, and implement budget revisions as necessary for 2010-11. It identifies the remaining budget challenges that exist as of 2010-11.

3. Preliminary Budget 2010-11 is based on the following assumptions:  No COLA in 2010-11  A net revenue increase from either Growth or other sources of $1.42 million  No additional revenue reductions to General Apportionment or Categoricals  Any funded growth FTES can be achieved through funding campuses at the same FTEF levels in 2010-11 as was funded in 2009-10 (Requires a continuation of 2009-10 FTES productivity levels)  Total Categorical backfill from GFU will be limited to $1.5 million. In 2009-10 $2.6 million was required to cover Categorical costs  The current $30.28 million reduction goal is attained by July 1, 2010  A roll forward of 2009-10 adjusted budgets (after budget reduction decisions) plus inflationary costs to selected operating expense accounts (utilities, insurance, maintenance contracts, etc)  Increase funding to cover employee class and step advances, STRS & PERS and other mandated benefit cost increases In addition, the Preliminary Budget includes the following:

If Categoricals require additional backfill $0.5 million $7.0 million

9. Summary & Budget Issues  Assuming new net revenue of $1.42 million in 2010-11, the $30.28 million reduction goal is reached, and no other losses in revenue or increased costs, the structural budget gap will be $6.14 million. Deficit spending will be avoided in 2010-11 through use of the ending balance from the Reserves & Set-asides and budget savings.  In 2011-12, the structural budget gap will be $6.14 million (carryforward from 2010-11) plus increased costs from inflation (approximately $3.3 million). This $9.44 million gap will need to be addressed through a combination of expense reductions and/ or revenue increases.  Once the structural budget gap is eliminated, normal inflationary costs should be covered through attrition savings, growth revenue, and small percentage of COLA.  Balance of unfunded future Prop S & N continuous costs needs to be indentified for years 2012-13 forward (approximately $6 million will be needed in today’s dollars).  A continuing restructuring of instructional and non-instructional expenses needs to take place to be in compliance with 50% law (problem created primarily due to $6.5 million workload adjustment in 2009-10 which forced reductions in class schedules).
