ìProcessî Input Results Next Steps

gathering of ìcriteriaî at this time. The ìProcessî input will
be revisited as soon as possible.
Criteria Input: Next Steps
-
A sub-group of BAG will review the gathered input from the staff
who responded to the Criteria question by Tuesday, 10/23. They will
provide a summary of the criteria as well as all the raw data to Marie
Matsen by Wednesday, 10/ 24.
-
Jose Ortal will provide a template to organize the data.
-
Jane Russell will provide a notice in The Daily that explains why BAG is
focusing on ìCriteriaî at this time and not ìProcess.î
LASR Update: October 24 or 31?
-
BAG decided that October 31 would be a better time for LASR representatives
to talk with the group about financial models, which would ensure a more
transparent budget process.
-
Bill Kyker will invite Linda Dewitt and the SCT representative to the 10/31
BAG meeting.
Carryover and Deficit FY02
-
Marie Matsen explained that the Board requested $350,000 from Net Working
Capital-Restricted be included in FY02 adopted budget for General
Fund use.
-
A deficit will also result this year due to the employee compensation packages,
and the notice from the state that funding will be decreased by 2%.
-
Managers had a strategic conversation with the Board last year and agreed
that NWC-Restricted, that is not planned for, would be returned to
the General Fund. Managers gave the Executive Team their plans for
carryover during the summer. A team (NWC-R Committee) will
be reviewing the plans and comparing them with the 6/30/01
NWC-R carryover for all departments. Budget projections FY02 will
be given out after the FY02 Audit report has been give to the Board.
Faculty Bag Representative
-
There will be a need to fill Barb DeFilippoís position on BAG.
Faculty Council has been alerted and will attempt to find a replacement.
Dealing with negative responses to BAG
-
Communications from BAG would go out with ìMessage from the Budget Advisory
Groupî rather than one individual. Members also agreed to include
in each communication ìWe invite your respectful responses/comments.î
The next Budget Advisory Group meeting will be October 24, 3-5PM,
BUS 205. Donna Zmolek will facilitate.
