Associated Students could provide some funds to help offset costs related to the clerical support
provided by the District.
Certain shifts would not be covered, so County Sheriff would be first responder. Night shifts
when school is not in session might be an example. Savings estimate is based on 90 days with
one shift not covered.
Instructional and non-instructional faculty, and certain administrators work under contract & could
not be laid off until 7-1-2013, so potential layoff savings in 2013-14 for faculty and administrators.
Confidential, classified staff & certain administrators could be laid off typically on 45 days
advance notice. The layoff estimate is for illustration and could be another amount.
Employee's would be required to take a certain number of workdays off as unpaid furlough days.
Potenital budget savings for all employees by class are noted below. Note that the $200K BPC
savings is a conservative estimate, since we don't know which employees would furlough or how
many days. If we move forward, then more detailed savings estimates will need to be developed.
Staff: $19,476
Instructional and non-instructional faculty: $29,938
Managers, confidential, etc: $14,880
Total savings per furlough day: $65,209 (1 furlough day of savings)
2012-13 COLA will be included in July paychecks. COLA might be frozen as of a particular date.
If Gov's tax measures pass, then COLA might be restored. Also, depending on the agreement,
this could be one-time or permanent savings. BPC Estimate is for about half a year of savings,
but amounts below are full-year cost:
COLA Freeze Scenario:
Classified: $0
Admin/Mgr/Conf: $36,389

This would not apply to instructional faculty vacancies. This option would require that all vacant
positions only be filled internally by a general fund employee and will require transfers to fill key
252,000
postions. 2012-13 savings is for 7 staff positions and 2 corridor positions. Savings is net of
estimated lumpouts and SERP costs.
This would eliminate many, but not all, temporary staff in the general fund. The total temp costs
100,000 are in the $250,000 range. To make this budget cut work, we will need to reduce the respective
department budgets, so that the funds are not spent on other items.

$3 million fund balance in the employee benefit trust may be drawn upon by the general fund.
The balance was built up in earlier years when about $1.6 million of the general fund's excess
fund balance was transferred to the employee benefit trust. However, the trust is currently
250,000
drawing against those balances because annual payments into the trust are less than the
payments out to beneficiaries. Since this is a one-time solution, we must identify a permanent
savings for 2013-14 for any amounts noted here.
