a. Recognition of BTC Retiree Kevin Manhart (Chairperson Tillman and Dr. Tracy Pierner)

Kevin Manhart, Accounts Receivable Clerk, will retire on February 28, 2020, after

12 years of service to the District. He began at the College as the Accounting Assistant for the Accounting Department and Financial Aid Department in 2008 and then moved to his current position in 2012.

In addition to his regular duties, Kevin has been very involved within the College.

He was a member of the Employee Support Council until the establishment of our current shared leadership governance model. He was also a member of one of the initial CPI Teams tasked with developing shared leadership. The Team’s work culminated in the creation of the Blackhawk Improvement Group (BIG) and the Group for Procedure and Strategy (GPS). Kevin currently serves on the Diversity Action, Health MDs, and GPS Committees.

Kevin stated he is very proud of having the opportunity to be an employee of a great

educational institution and the ability to help serve the diverse population of Rock and Green Counties. He attributes his drive to serve and help others from his 21+ years in the Air Force.

His retirement plans include taking care of home projects, becoming more involved

with the Disabled American Veterans as a volunteer driver for their vans, and volunteering at the VA hospital in Madison.

Kevin will be in attendance at the meeting to be recognized.

ENCLOSURE #2 3. Special Reports b. Student Spotlight (Quinton Scoville and Gabriel Christiansen)

Each month, the District Board recognizes a student or group of students who exemplify the values of Blackhawk Technical College. This month, Quinton Scoville and Gabriel Christiansen are highlighted as just two of several hundred high school students taking advantage of dual credit opportunities at Blackhawk Technical College. Quinton and Gabriel are both enrolled in the Welding program at Blackhawk. Each week, the students spend time at their high schools and the college. “The program is a FlexLab and that’s why I’m able to go to high school and college,” said Quinton. Quinton started attending Blackhawk during his junior year of high school. “I want to show future employers that I’m dedicated and have a passion for what I’m doing,” said Quinton. He manages high school classes and part-time work while progressing through Blackhawk’s Welding program. Now, he is on track to graduate from both his high school and Blackhawk in the spring. “I wanted to get a job as soon as I graduated high school,” explained Gabriel. After learning about dual credit options at Blackhawk, Gabriel discovered the Welding program. He started the program during his last semester of high school and will return next semester to complete the program in time for spring graduation. At times, the students faced challenges – such as working on “hard projects like welding overhead for the first time,” explained Quinton – but the instructors were always within reach. “I would ask for help, they would explain it to me, and when I did it, they would check-in and make sure I was getting it,” shared Gabriel. Welding Instructor Joe Kluge explained, “They are very hard workers, determined to be excellent welders, and are excellent representatives of the program outcome we strive for.” Quinton and Gabriel shared how the other students also helped create a supportive environment at Blackhawk. “The Welding program is filled with nice people,” said Quinton, “they treat me as if I’m a college student, or adult, and I really like that.” “I never felt like I wasn’t supposed to be here,” explained Gabriel, “The students

know I’m a high school student and they don’t treat me differently. I’ve made a lot of friends here.” Dual credit options are available for high school students looking to get a jump start on, or completely finish, a program at Blackhawk. “If you know what you want to do, and you’re able to go to college for free for it, then go for it,” shared Quinton. Over the last five years, the Wisconsin Technical College System has seen a 69% participation growth in students earning dual credit. These opportunities provide students with cost savings, early entry to career pathways, decreased college remediation, reduced time to degree completion, and stronger postsecondary outcomes.

c. Update on Public Safety & Transportation Training Center Project (Information/Discussion – Dr. Tracy Pierner)

Planning continues on the proposed project. The BTC Foundation has engaged

School Perceptions to conduct a community survey regarding the Public Safety & Transportation Training Center project. The survey is planned for release in late February. A draft of the proposed survey is attached. Board members are asked to provide feedback on the document at the meeting.

Additional work has also been done with bond counsel regarding the proposed

capital plan for the Public Safety & Transportation Training Center project. Renea Ranguette, Vice President – Administrative Services, will provide a presentation on the proposed plan at the meeting.

Dear Community Members,

For more than 100 years, Blackhawk Technical College has been providing flexible education options and high-quality training programs for members of our community. Each year, we educate and train more than 8,000 students in nearly 70 programs as well as offer a multitude of other educational offerings across our four campuses. Area youth have the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school, and adult learners obtain the training needed to start a new career or the continuing education required to stay relevant in their field.

We are continuously assessing our programs and facilities to ensure we are meeting the needs of our residents and the regional workforce. As a result, in recent years we have launched more than 20 new programs and created several new methods of flexible education in programs including Welding, Fire Science, Food Lab Tech, Automotive, Supply Chain Management, and Foundations in Education. In addition, we have identified the need to build an expanded Public Safety and Transportation Training Center in order to:

Improve campus safety for our students, staff, and visitors

Respond to the growing and ever-changing training needs of the communities we serve

Accommodate the expanding public safety and transportation programs needs

Increase operational efficiencies throughout the College

Building a Public Safety and Transportation Center could cost an estimated $32 million. A project of this size cannot be funded within our annual capital budget. Therefore, the College’s leadership team and District Board are exploring potential funding options, which could include a voter-authorized referendum. However, before they finalize a plan, they would like to better understand the priorities of taxpayers and their willingness to support these projects financially. Therefore, we are asking you to please take 5 to 10 minutes to complete this survey.

Planning Background The need for a Public Safety and Transportation Center was the result of over 12 months of research and work from a Facility Planning Committee made up of College staff, business partners, and citizens. The Committee identified the following challenges:

SAFETY CONCERN The lack of adequate space has resulted in law enforcement and emergency response training taking place in hallways, public areas, and parking lots. This not ideal for the safety of our students, employees, and visitors as it is challenging to regulate the public areas during training. The parking lots were not designed to be used for training and are being used for truck driver/large vehicle training, law enforcement, fire science, EMS, and motorcycle safety.

DEMAND FOR ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS AND EXPANDED TRAINING There is a growing demand for professionals in the fields of public safety and transportation. In addition, the continuing education and training requirements for law enforcement, criminal justice, fire protection, and emergency medical technician courses have changed significantly in the last 10 years. New and expanded programs are needed to meet the regional workforce demand. In addition, our facilities need to be expanded to provide:

Road course for trucking (CDL), large vehicle, and emergency vehicle training Tactical training space for interactive, reality-based scenarios Simulation labs Physical endurance testing and certification rooms Indoor firing range Classrooms and labs sized for modern equipment, vehicles, and technology

SPACE SHORTAGE As the College’s enrollment grows, and our programs and training course offerings expand, the need for additional classrooms, labs, and outdoor training areas continues to grow. The College currently pays to rent a variety of facilities outside of the College due to the space shortage or lack of adequate facilities to support public safety programming. In some cases, this requires training to be held out of the area and even across state lines.

EDUCATIONAL INADEQUACIES Many of our current public safety and transportation classrooms and labs have not been updated in several decades. Today’s courses and training requirements need space, modern equipment, and technology as well as flexible space for simulations and project-based learning. Due to the lack of adequate space, testing and observations typically are subjected to creative scheduling so the programs can have access to classrooms and grounds at times when there is less traffic on campus, or they are completed in hallways. This requires equipment to be set up and taken down on an ongoing basis.

If the community chooses to address these needs, the primary way to obtain funding is through a voter-approved facility referendum.

THE TIMING IS RIGHT

The District Board believes now is a good time to make the next significant investment in the College’s facilities. Interest rates remain at historic lows, and careful planning allows the District to minimize the annual tax impact of any new borrowing.

Given this information, would you support the College exploring a facility referendum to build a Public Safety and Transportation Center at this time?

Yes No Undecided

Blackhawk Technical College District Board Minutes January 15, 2020 Page 3

Administration presented information regarding the construction of an emergency vehicle

operations pad on the parcel of land purchased early in 2019. Proposed construction of the training pad and a roadway from the Central Campus parking lot were reviewed. The total estimated cost of the project will remain within the funding limitation of $877,000 for acquisition and/or new construction within the Central Campus site designation. If approved by the District Board the project would be submitted to the Wisconsin Technical College System Board (WTCSB) for approval.

It was moved by Mr. Richard and seconded by Ms. Andres to approve the Central Campus

emergency vehicle operations pad construction contingent upon Wisconsin Technical College System Board (WTCSB) approval and to request WTCSB approval of the capital project.

Motion carried unanimously.

Administration has explored consolidation of GED, pre-college, and college credit courses at

the Beloit Public Library; however, current space at the site is limited. Conversation and planning have been held with the Library Director and the City of Beloit representatives regarding the College’s additional space needs within the Library’s campus. Administration recommended entering into a lease and leasehold improvement with the City of Beloit and the Beloit Public Library to establish two classrooms, a testing room, and support spaces to consolidate the majority of BTC’s instructional programming in the Library’s location. The proposed lease is for five years with three additional five-year renewal periods for a twenty year maximum term. The initial lease rate is $30,000 annually, which provides heating, lighting, internet connectivity, custodial services, library desk support, parking lot, and signage rights. The estimated cost for leasehold improvements is $315,000.

It was moved by Mr. Hays and seconded by Mr. Richard to approve the Beloit Public Library

lease and leasehold improvement contingent upon Wisconsin Technical College System Board (WTCSB) approval and to request WTCSB approval of the lease and capital improvement.


The College’s Three-Year Facilities Plan included a variety of significant improvements for Central Campus within fiscal year 2019-20. Some of the work for these improvements rises to the level that requires District Board and State Board approval, including: remodel of upper and lower level restrooms which serve the 2500 wing and North Commons; addition of single-unit restrooms immediately west of the Commons restrooms; creation of office and small meeting rooms in Room 1519; exterior enhancements to the building entrance façade at doors 2-15 and 2-16; and potential creation of an administrative office/conference room in Room 1525 (alternate bid item). Funding for the addition of the single-unit restrooms will be provided by the School District of Janesville (SDJ). The plan documents seek an alternate bid for construction of walls and doors to establish an administrative office in Room 1525 for the middle college, should the single-unit restrooms bids come in under budget and permit such consideration. The SDJ must approve an alternate bid in order for the work to be included in award of the construction contract. The project cost estimate for the work is $400,000. The College’s capital improvements were included in the adopted annual capital

Blackhawk Technical College District Board Minutes January 15, 2020 Page 4 budget. For the sake of economy, the work is consolidated in project documents for the purpose of bidding with costs to be borne by the SDJ clearly delineated in the construction bid documents.

It was moved by Mr. Pophal and seconded by Mr. Hays to approve the Central Campus remodel contingent upon Wisconsin Technical College System Board (WTCSB) approval and to request WTCSB approval of the remodel.


Vice Chairperson Thornton called for Committee Reports. The Finance Committee met prior to the Board meeting. The Committee presented its

recommendation to the District Board with regard to approval of budget modifications. It was moved by Ms. Davis and seconded by Mr. Deprez to approve the attached

ENCLOSURE #13 7. Action Items

a. Approval of the Public Safety and Transportation Center Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statements Contingent upon Wisconsin Technical College System Board (WTCSB) Approval and to Request WTCSB Approval of these Statements (Action – Renea Ranguette)

Chapter TCS 12 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code defines the requirements for an environmental review to determine what impact the proposed project will have on the quality of the human environment. New construction on a previously undeveloped site requires a Level I environmental review also known as an Environmental Impact Study (EIS). In addition to assessing the project impact on the quality of the human environment, the EIS process provides an opportunity for public input in the decision-making process and may consider developing alternatives where proposed actions involve unresolved conflicts in the use of resources during the EIS preparation and review process. The Level I environmental review is a lengthy and intensive process. Batterman Engineering is facilitating this process in conjunction with district personnel. As part of the process, the Public Safety and Transportation Center project scope was introduced at a public meeting held at Central Campus on December 10, 2019. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was developed and released on January 16, 2020, with a 45-day comment period currently underway. Copies of the report are available at the District’s Administration Building. A public hearing on that report is scheduled for February 18 at the Central Campus. All comments are directed to the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Office. The WTCS Office requires that the District Board take action to accept the draft and final Environmental Impact Statement and to request that the WTCS Board approve the same prior to WTCS Board consideration of the DEIS at their March meeting and the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) at their May meeting.

https://blackhawk.edu/Portals/0/PDFs/About/Governance/Public%20Safety%20and%20Transportation%20Center%20Draft%20Environmental%20Impact%20Statement.pdf

Administration recommends District Board approval of the following resolution: Resolution: Whereas, Blackhawk Technical College recently acquired the 35-acre parcel which is contiguous is the Central Campus; and Whereas, development of a Public Safety and Transportation Center is of the highest priority to support public safety and transportation education and training activities on campus; and Whereas, the District has evaluated the impact on the quality of the human environment as well as available alternatives for the proposed project; and Whereas, the project will have short-term environmental effects due to construction, the long-term educational and training benefits to the District far outweigh the short term effects; It is therefore Resolved, that the Blackhawk Technical College District Board approve the Public Safety and Transportation Center Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), which is contingent upon WTCS Board approval and to request Wisconsin Technical College System Board approval of these statements.

ENCLOSURE #14 7. Action Items

b. Approval of Print Center Production Equipment Purchase (Action – Renea Ranguette)

BTC produces the majority of professional print materials in-house. The print center equipment produces over 1.6 million copies annually of which approximately one-half are color. The print center operates with two commercial printers: one which is both color and black & white and the second which is black & white only. Both units were acquired in 2010 under an operating services lease and purchased at fair value at the end of the lease term (2014). Routine maintenance and repairs have been performed over the years to optimize the life of the equipment. With replacement parts are no longer available for the color unit, plans were in development to replace this unit in the near future. Unfortunately, the equipment is now failing and will require the College to either outsource a volume of print work or print on higher-cost smaller multi-function copiers located in division offices. An opportunity exists to purchase a floor model color production printer with accessories for professional print production. The machine, with accessories, was priced new at $187,053 nearly 18 months ago. With all available discounts, the barely used machine, with accessories, can be purchased for $113,945. With the volume of copies produced annually and a ten-year life expectancy, this machine is estimated to cost $0.013 per copy to purchase. Per unit operating costs for the current machine are $0.045 per color and $0.009 per B&W copy (90% of production on this machine is color). The five-year locked rate for the new machine operating costs is $0.039 per color and $0.007 per B&W copy. These costs are far below the cost of outsourcing print services. One employee operates the print center and also supports US Postal Mail as well as shipping and receiving operations at Central Campus. The College maintains funding within the capital budget to support emergency needs. Procurement policy requires District Board approval of purchases of $50,000 or more which are not funded in the currently adopted budget. If this request is approved, the equipment will be purchased for immediate delivery and a budget modification will reclassify available budget funding into the appropriate functional unit (general institutional administration) to support the purchase. Administration recommends approval of the request to purchase the used Color Canon imagePRESS C8000VP with accessories from Gordon Flesch Company, Inc. in Madison, Wisconsin at a total cost of $113,944.60 after all applicable discounts.

Chairperson Thornton called the meeting to order at 4:35 p .m.

Finance Statement and Quarterly Update – The December finance statement and quarterly update were reviewed. Within the General Fund, total revenues for the first half of the year reflected an approximate increase of $481,200 (5.9%), resulting from increases in property taxes and in state aid offset by decreases in program fees and other student fees. The increase in property taxes is due to close out of a TID within the city of Beloit resulting in a distribution of $152,503 to the College. Total expenditures within the Fund reflect an approximate increase of $200,500 (1.7%) from the prior year, mainly due to increases in salaries and benefits. The Special Revenue Fund reflected an increase in revenues of approximately $226,000 (38.7%) due mainly to the earlier reimbursement of expenses this year by the state and federal governments. Total expenditures within the Fund increased approximately $37,100 (2.89%) due to increases in salaries and benefits. The Capital Projects Fund reflected an increase in revenue of approximately $286,100 (9.6%) due to an increase in the annual capital bond proceeds. Expenditures decreased approximately $1,037,700 (39.9%) due to the number and size of planned projects and the timing of annual capital purchases this year compared to last year. The Debt Service Fund revenue was limited for the first half of the year to investment income. Expenditures reflected a decrease of approximately $17,600 (3%) as a result of a decrease in interest expense. The Enterprise Fund reflected an increase of approximately $23,300 in revenues due to higher sales compared to the prior year. Expenditures increased by approximately $10,600 (24.6%) due to increases in consumable supplies and contracted services offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits. The Internal Service Fund reflected minimal activity during the period. The Agency Fund reflected increases in both revenue and expenditures primarily due to hosting the WTC Purchasing Consortium’s Coordinator position. The Trust Fund reflected a revenue decrease of approximately $378,500 (8.6%) which is attributed to decreases in federal revenue and state aid, both due to the timing of revenue received and a decrease in student aid funding from the prior year. Expenses decreased approximately $412,300 (9.1%) due to a decrease in student financial aid.

a. Spring 2020 Enrollment and Fall 2019 Student Success Report (Information – Dr. Jon Tysse)

Data will be presented regarding Spring 2020 Enrollment and Fall 2019 student success. Spring continued the declining enrollment trend from the Fall 2019 semester; however, we saw a very different pattern. A year ago, Police Academy students had already registered by this time; this year, registration will not begin until the end of February. Additionally, the average credit load also declined to 8.4 credits attempted. The student success report reflects an upward trend in the data with student success rates increasing Fall 2018 to Fall 2019. Dr. Jon Tysse, Executive Director of Institutional Research and Effectiveness, will be present to answer questions.

b. Annual Report of Tax Incremental Districts Located Within the Blackhawk Technical College District (Information – Renea Ranguette)

Tax Incremental Districts (TIDs) are a financing mechanism by which municipalities may make improvements in their community. Wisconsin Statutes 66.1105 outlines the process and regulations for the creation, reporting, and discontinuance of TIDs.

Generally, the purpose of creating a TID is to incentivize development or improve a blighted area within the community. The underlying premise is ‘but for’ the creation of the TID, the development would not occur. The municipality has the power to issue bonds and levy a tax on the incremental value to pay for the improvements. The incremental value is defined as the current property value less the base value of the property at the time the TID was created. The original benefit of a TID to a community is that it allows the tax on the incremental value to be retained by the community rather than collected by the other taxing entities. This benefit continued for the life of the TID, which can be up to 27 years depending on when the TID was created. The taxing entities captured the incremental value created by the TID at the time of TID closure. The 2011 WI Act 32 capped Wisconsin Technical College’s operational levy at the prior year (2010) levy amount. WI Act 20 (adopted in 2013) increased the annual operational levy for net new construction within the District. BTC now captures the value of TID developments at the time of improvement (net new construction) rather than at TID closure when the value increment is returned to the tax base.

A summary showing the status of each TID located in the BTC District is attached. For 2019, the total base value of the TIDs increased by 0.62% (0.32% decrease in 2018), while the current value increased by 0.10% (0.94% decrease in 2018). Four TIDs were closed in 2019 adding $45,692,700 of value increment to the District’s tax base. The 2019 increment value growth in the remaining TIDs increased an average of 6.35%. In addition, three new TIDs were created in 2019; one each in the cities of Evansville, Milton, and Monroe. There were no TIDs with an increment value deficit in 2019. The 2019 incremental value of $663,929,000 multiplied by the District’s operational mill rate of 0.52512 resulted in $348,642 tax revenue captured by the TIDs. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue reports information through December 2018 in the 2019 report. Activity during 2019 will be reflected in future reports.
