Capital Funds

Q. How does the $2 billion capital bond bill play into the “capital costs” shown below the line on Table 1?
A. The state recently past two separate capital appropriations, $1 billion for state and community colleges and $1 billion for the university. Of the $1 billion for the university, $325 million is earmarked to the campus over the next five years. These funds are not yet available and would not show up on Table 1, since only campus general funds are on that table.

Q.     Each year we put an increasing amount of our operating budget into the capital pool. How much will go this year? What are specific projects that are being planned?

A. This year we will transfer $53.7 million to capital accounts to support the
approved capital plan.

Annual debt service on funds borrowed through the UMBA total $39.7 million.  Another $.8 million is for future debt planned in the Capital Plan II and in FY09 will be transferred for Capital Plan II.

The other transfers are base commitments to Repair and Replacement capital accounts and include:
350,000            Classroom improvements
500,000            Provost facility pool
400,000            ADA projects
1,500,000         Emergency DM  needs
1,000,000         Campus moves
968,000            Trustee mandated reserve for new buildings
8,097,000         Annual budget for 6 year DM capital plan (see list)

Student Fees: 

Conversations about Student Fees have been generally preliminary at this point, however as students we need to develop a concrete proposal for lowering, maintaining or raising fees as well as other solutions for finding resolutions to the mismanagement of our budget.

We have attached here preliminary Fee Increase Scenarios with additional options for maintaining financial aid levels for high and medium need students:
