The Finance Committee of the McHenry County College Board of Trustees is meeting at 5:30 p.m. today to discuss authorizing transfer of funds for providing 25% local matching funds for state funded capital construction projects as well as providing resources to do locally funded capital projects including repairs and renovation and deferred maintenance.
Also for consideration by the committee is a resolution for estimated tax levy and notice for a public hearing on the levy at a December 16 meeting at 7:00 pm in room A217.
According to the proposed resolution, the proposed property tax increase for the College District is 9.9% over the previous year. The proposed operating and special purpose property taxes for 2009 were $25,691,380; with the proposed amounts for the same purposes for 2010 at $28,234,827.
Full Board Meeting
These same resolutions are expected to be presented to the full board for consideration when they meet at 7:00 p.m. in the same location.
The Board of Trustees is also being requested to approve the degree of Associate of Applied Science Degree in culinary Management as the first step in receiving approval for the degree from the Illinois Community College Board. This curriculum was begun as a partnership with Woodstock District 200, which has a commercial kitchen the College was permitted to use. It is anticipated that once the degree receives final approval from the State more students will be taken the courses. The program currently prepares entry level workers for employment in the food service industry. The added approval from the State will provide for further development of the Culinary Management program to eventually include coursework and certificates in baking and pastry as well as hospitality.
