The McHenry County College Board of Trustees will conduct two meetings this evening. The first is a Committee of the Whole which begins at 5:30 pm. This agenda includes the usual review of minutes of the June 24 Committee of the Whole meeting, review of the Board Packet for the Regular Board meeting to follow the COW meeting. Also includes is the Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Presentation.
The Regular Meeting of the Board follows the COW meeting. The Fiscal Year 2011 Budget will be reviewed by the Board for placement on public display until the August 26 adoption.
It must be realized that this budget is a representation of tying the college budget to the college's strategic plan. Earlier in the year, the Board was presented a three-year financial plan that included a $2 in-district tuition increase effective with the fall semester.
As for budget cuts, four administrative and professional potions were eliminated while a new full-time faculty position was added. As for capital equipment and locally funded repairs and renovations, only the highest priority items are included in the proposed budget. One bright note is that adequate funds have been included in contingencies so the College may respond to emergencies and critical needs.
The regular meeting of the College Board will follow the Committee of The Whole meeting beginning at 7:00 pm.
