SERIES 1: FINANCIAL AUDITS! FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This series is arranged chronologically by fiscal year, which runs from June to June. Each of these statements, prepared by an independent auditor, is submitted to the Board of Trustees in or before September, at the conclusion of the fiscal year. It contains balance sheets, changes in fund balances, statements of current fund revenues, expenditures, other changes, and notes to financial statements. Over the years several different accounting firms have been used to perform these audits.

SERIES 2: BUDGET REQUEST

These Budget Requests, all of which cover the fiscal year that goes from July 1 to June 30, are arranged chronologically. They are prepared by the Office of Administration and Finance and submitted to the State Treasurer.

The Budget Requests of the FY 1987-88 through FY 1995 have two parts. Part A deals with the College in general; its organization and physical plant. Part B deals with funding needs for students and faculty. For 1993 and 1994 Part A contains fiscal forms and funding requests with background information. Part A for FY 1994 also has Policy Questions for the Board of Education. The second part of the budget request for FY 1993 is labeled OMB and has material on salary programs, special purpose funding, instruction, academic support, institutional support, and physical plant. The FY 1994 OMB contains evaluation data of statewide programs, priority package requests, allocation of funds for FY and reallocations, general statement for the fiscal year on instruction, research, academic support, student services, physical plant, and account description costs. In the Budget Requests for FY 1995 Part A becomes Part I and contains a summary of unrestricted funds; salary programs; operating costs non-salary areas, facilities, and maintenance; enrollment evaluation data; estimated balances; tuition information; remediation expenditures; and budget surveys on adjunct faculty and new full-time faculty appointments. The OMB Budget Request for 1995 contains appropriation data, account descriptions, allocations of salary programs, inter-departmental cuts, tuition, reserves, and additional revenue receipts; general statements on instruction, research, academic support, student institutional services, and physical plant; and grant accounts.

From FY 1996 on the Budget Requests are contained in one part and much simplified. The FY 1996 statement calls for increased funding of salaries, replacement of faculty lines, increased maintenance, and technology enhancement. The revenue statement for that year lists the tuition revenue for FY 1995, appropriations data, account description, and special purpose accounts. The FY 1997 request has FY 1996 revenue statements, appropriation data, and account description. The FY 1998 Budget Request contains requests for the salary program, budgets from the previous year, expected revenue for the current year, and projected revenue for the following year, tuition and schedules, and appropriation data.

SERIES 3: BUDGET ALLOCATION

These Budget Allocations, all of which cover the fiscal year that goes from July 1 to June 30, are arranged chronologically. The series is missing the fiscal year 1991.

For the fiscal years 1895-1986 and 1987 the series has a summary statement rather than a full report. The fiscal year 1985-1986 summary statement begins with a comparison among the FY 1985 June update, the Base Budget FY 1986, and the Revised Budget FY 1986. The summary for the FY 1987 begins a comparison of Approved Operation Budget for the FY 1987 to the Proposed Operating Budget for 1988. Each of these two reports then gives a summary budget of every area of the college.

The budgets for the subsequent years contain a detail report of allocations for each area of the college; listing each subventure.
