CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE REPORT – Steve Hanson, chair
•
Off-budget Items in 2013-15 Capital Budget (End Run Policy)
The 2013-15 Capital Budget contained new capital funding for four projects that were not part of the
system’s request:
o Seattle Central Community College: Pacific Medical Center
o Green River Community College: Land Transfer from the Department of Natural Resources
o Peninsula College: Fort Worden Building

The committee determined three projects (Green River Community College, Peninsula, WSU/Everett)
were not end runs and more conversations regarding the Pacific Medical Center need to occur. Jill
Wakefield and Marty Brown will join the November committee meeting to discuss the project further.
The committee will also make revisions to the End Run Policy, to remove reference to the
decommissioned SBCTC Capital Task Force, and bring to WACTC for approval in December.
