Part 1. Why is a Budget Process Important? • We value what we spend money on. The process

provides a structured opportunity to discuss vision and policy.

• Our long term revenues do not keep pace with our expenditures.

• We will face another year of difficult trade offs. • We cannot look to the state for more money. • Our represented employee costs are fixed through

negotiated contracts. • We must look at what programs and services we

offer, how we deliver them, and how we support them.

Part 2: Current Revenue/Expenditure Forecast – released 11-9-11

•Deficit for FY12-13 estimated at $5.5 million •Number will likely change, though not

dramatically. •Requires ongoing reductions of expenditures,

or ongoing increased revenues. One time only money does not help this deficit.

• If we succeed, our current projected deficit for FY13-14 will be $1.7 million (plus state reductions which could total as much as another $2.8 million)

•Ongoing issue!

4

5

Major Assumptions in Forecast

• Innovation Fund spent with no return on investment. (conservative assumption: “easiest” place to close the gap IF we get good proposals)

• All contractual obligations met • Enrollment declines by 2% (each 1% = $100,000) • No change in tuition or fees (pressure from the

size of the deficit and other colleges to raise; each $1 = $200,000)

• “One time only” ending fund balance (for reserve fund at 3% and contingency at 3 to 5% meets Board policy

5

6

Causes of the Structural Deficit

• Declining state revenue support ($1.5 million already planned to be returned to state)

• Health care costs rising 15%

• PERS costs rising (every two years) (FY13 expected 3% increase adds another $1 m in costs)

• Salaries rising 3%

• Enrollment projected to decline 2%

State Funding Status

•State funding for all community colleges is based on $410 million for the two years FY11-12 and FY12-13; MHCC budgeted our share at $41 million

•Variables: State revenue still in decline: • 3 ½%; $1.5 million already held back • State may seek a 7% hold back in second

year; $2.8 million• Lower base for FY13-14

Part 3. Comparative Cost of Attendance

•Mt. Hood’s costs are average, as compared to the other 16 Oregon community colleges

•Mt. Hood is slightly higher than its neighboring community colleges, but no major differences

•For each $1 per credit hour tuition increase, approximately $200,000 in additional revenue is generated

•Some mid-year tuition increases being contemplated at other community colleges.

Reserve and Contingency Funds

• Reserves will be set at 3% (un-appropriated) • Contingency will be set at 3% to 5% of general fund

based on comparable community colleges and public jurisdictions

• Overall reserves and contingency between 6% and 8% • Set criteria for Board access:

▫ Emergency situations that may jeopardize health and safety

▫ Public commitment or contractual mandate ▫ Efficiencies ▫ No funding exists in current budgets ▫ Board may “designate” funds in increased contingency

for future decisions

15

16

Part 4: How do we approach this challenge?

• Multi year process of change

• Revenue enhancements ; Innovative approaches to expanding enrollment; New or expanded program offerings

• Potential Tuition and fee increases

• Program review based on completion, overall cost of instruction, employment potential, uniqueness, etc.

• Different approaches to instruction (e.g. differential tuition; class size; expanded times of instruction)

• Administrative efficiencies (e.g. Aquatics Center)

• Consistent, reliable data for future use; Employee salary and benefit costs review, especially health care and PERS

• Capital improvement plan and identified capital budgets

16

17

A. Innovation Fund• Fund approaches that will generate additional

revenue above cost and/or increase completion rates

• Pilot approaches useful for next year • Balance the budget through expansion and

contraction • Use $1,000,000 of under-spending from FY10-11• Carefully monitor progress and verify results

• Risk awareness – either way!

18

Innovation Fund proposals - p. 1•Strategies to increase enrollment (examples)

▫New or expanded “profitable” programs (e.g. light auto repair certificate)

▫Quicker financial aid turnaround (proposal to Board 12-14-11)

▫Outreach to local high schools (e.g. Go Van; College Now; Upward Bound)

▫Increased outreach to veterans ▫International student focus ▫Weekend college

18

Innovation Fund Proposals - p. 2 •Strategies to increase retention /

completion (examples) ▫College Start Lab (Increased

mentoring/advising) ▫Better articulations; better pathways ▫Emphasis on reenrolling current students ▫Diversity Center ▫Mandatory Human Development classes

19

20

Guidance for Developing Proposals • If proposals involves new full time faculty,

contact Christie Plinski or Rodney Barker. Process to Hiring Committee and Budget Review Team (BRT).

• If proposals do not involve full time faculty, contact Jennifer DeMent. Proposals to BRT.

• Iterative process. Feel free to send drafts, seek financial and goal setting advice. Expect rewrites.

• BRT members available to read and give feedback.

20

21

B. Systematically analyze what we teach 1.Does it cover its costs?

•Step 1 Analyze courses/academic programs to determine whether they pay for themselves

•Use Section/Course Cost Calculator(based on average instruction costs, not specific instructors)

• If they do, can they be made more efficient?

21

22

2. Can it cover its costs?

•Step 2: Can the course/program be made more efficient through any of the following:

▫Differential tuition ▫Fees ▫Change of ILCs▫Change of class size

23

3. If not, should the program be retained? If so, why? •Step 3: If course/program still losing

money test it against a multi-factor algorithm; for example consider:

▫Uniqueness of program▫Employability of graduates▫Wait list ▫Completion rate (being mindful that state

will fund more on “completion” in the future)

▫Other factors

24

C. Fully develop Issue Papers

•40 potentially worthwhile areas to analyze and determine whether they will increase enrollment or reduce expenditures by at least $100,000 (see handout)

•Examples: ▫Aquatics Center ▫Parking fee ▫Outreach to high schools ▫Reduce uncollectable tuition costs

25

D. Departmental Budget Review •Have all departments prepare a narrative

with their budgets with outcomes and output measures. (e.g. program offer)

•Discuss how the budget enables the program to fulfill its goals.

•Discuss “small” opportunities for investments to save money or expand revenue.

•Discuss impacts of additional reductions.

26

Personal Challenge for Each of Us•Mt. Hood is a “learning institution”; we

can all understand and assist with this. •Overreliance on tuition and fees may be

self defeating. •We need to be flexible and involved.

Developing a good issue paper takes time and participation.

•To the extent we do not fully succeed, the challenge will fall directly on us in future years in discussions of salary and benefits. (That’s 75% of the college’s budget).

27

Part 5: Role of Budget Review Team

•Membership drawn from all college stakeholders (full and part time faculty; deans; classified/administrative support; students)

•Wear “college hats”

•Advises President; October to March; 8:45 to 10 am Fridays; Board Conference Room.

•Develops and frames policy choices through issue papers

27

28

Role of Budget Review Team (con’t) • Identifies policy choices through input

from Board and college stakeholders

•Frames menu of options

•Seeks agreement among stakeholders on financial impact of different choices

•Pursues an open, clear process

29

Budget Review Team Timelines

• October – December: Solicits ideas from stakeholders; develops and discusses issue papers framing policy options; reviews revenue/expenditure forecast

• Jan. – Feb.: Frames menu of choices

• March: Delivers options to President for decisions

• March/April: Budget Office verifies decisions and incorporates into President’s budget

• April: President presents budget to Board for discussion, amendment, and approval

• June: Tax Supervising & Conservation Commission (TSCC) reviews and certifies and Board adopts budget

29

Part 6: How do you balance a budget? Method 1: Issue Papers •Select among big picture “issue papers” -

major policy issues -described above •Problem: Not all potential

reductions/revenue increases are best discovered through the issue paper format.

•Does not provide sufficient open review of smaller decisions within departments.

•Does not insure that all departments are receiving the same level of review.

30

Method 2: Program Offers

•Show specific programs; management tool•Offers can show impact of reductions

and/or increases •Program offers can/should reflect issue

papers •Ask each program to generate program

offer(s) that provide(s): ▫a concise narrative of program purpose ▫ measureable outcomes and outputs ▫a budget to achieve those goals.

31

Method 3: Constraint budgeting •Assign a target of 9% to each area. •Ask the area to explain how a combination

of increased revenues and reduced expenditures could reach that goal. Consistent analysis across departments. Forced choice analysis.

•Document the consequences through program offers. Show what a base level program offer buys and what a reduced level buys.

•Costing model in instruction (conversation starter; not decision maker)

•Departmental discussions – mutual impacts

•Developing measurable objectives for Program Offers

34

Actual balancing

•Use all three methods – different vantage points

• Issue Paper analysis – policy options •Documented though program offers –

program description and measurement •Use Departmental review – fairness and

consistency •No “across the board” decisions •Don’t double count savings/revenues

Employment Costs

• Costs vary dramatically depending on years of experience, position responsibilities and classification.

• Fringe costs are an additional 50% to 57% of full-time employee salaries; the 50% is approximately 20% PERS, 18% Health Insurance; 9% Legal mandates – Soc. Sec.; 3% other.

• Fringe costs are increasing faster than revenues. • Employment costs are fixed for the next two years

for represented employees. Changes cannot be used to balance next year’s budget without consent of the unions.

60

61

Employer Paid Fringe Costs Public Employee Retirement System

(PERS):

• When the social security program was established in 1935, it excluded public employees. PERS, which became effective July 1, 1946, was designed to offer a pension program for public employees. In the early 1950’s, the option to participate in Social Security was extended to public employees. The PERS program underwent a major overhaul in the 1960’s, then again from 1997 until 2007.

61

62

Employer Paid Fringe Costs, Cont’d Mt. Hood PERS contributions include the following, as a

percentage of eligible employee’s annual income:

▫ Employee Contribution: 6% paid by Mt. Hood on behalf of employees; contribution goes into Individual Account Program (IAP); contractually required for many employee groups.

▫ Employer Assessment: This is the College’s share of the statewide PERS program costs. This rate for most MHCC employees is currently 15.68%. However, the rate is offset by the balance in MHCC’s side account, which was established in 2003 by borrowing at a lower interest rate. The side account is invested, and subject to market earnings and losses. The side account brings MHCC’s employer contribution rate down to 5.62%. This rate is based on a December 31, 2009 actuarial and is adjusted every two years.

▫ Internal debt assessment: The debt service to pay for the borrowing that established the side account is collected by an internal payroll assessment. The rate beginning July 1, 2011, is 8.5%. The net savings between the rate credit and the internal assessment is 2.15%.

62

63

Employer Paid Fringe Costs, Cont’d

•Health care: Costs include medical, dental and vision coverage for employees and their families. Plans are provided through the Oregon Educators Benefit Board. Plans offered include ODS and Kaiser medical, dental and vision plans and Willamette dental plan. Employee contributions for this coverage range from 0% to 20%, depending on plan selection and employee group.

•Other benefits: Mt. Hood provides Social Security, Medicare, long-term disability, life, worker’s compensation and unemployment insurance, tax sheltered annuities and early retirement benefits. Some benefits vary by employee group.

63

64

Employer Paid Fringe Costs, Cont’d

The average fringe costs used for each employee group vary based on the unique demographics of each group as well as the salary base from which the rate is calculated.

On average, fringe rates are comprised of the following:

PERS Employee Share: 6% Medical Insurance: 15.9%PERS Employer Costs: 13.6% Dental Insurance: 2%Vision Insurance: .3% Early Retirement: 3.8%Social Security/Medicare: 7.7% Unemployment: .25%Long-term Disability Insurance: .27% Life Insurance: .01%Workers Compensation Insurance: .66%
