The District would offer no summer term classes or very limited classes, for example only online
classes. As a result, many employee contracts would be shortened to 11 months with about an
8.3% salary savings. This is similar to a furlough. Potenital budget savings for all employees by
class are estimated below. Note that the $600K BPC savings estimate is more conservative
assuming that instructional employees and certain other employees would not be reduced. If we
600,000 move forward, then more detailed savings estimates will need to be developed.
Staff: $422,000
Instructional and non-instructional faculty: $649,000 (only the non-instructional portion could be
reduced)
Managers, confidential, etc: $208,000
Total: $1,278,000

Efficiencies and cost savings might be realized by reorganizing these adminstrative functions.

11 Layoffs

Approximately $700K in non-instructional faculty release time is included in the collective
bargaining agreement.
Employees would pay a monthly premium for health and welfare benefits. CR pays a flat rate per
covered employee, regardless of number of dependents. Health and welfare benefits cost about
$1,900/mo or $22,800/yr per covered employee. Estimate is only employees who receive health
benefits, NOT all employees:
Health benefits scenario - $100 monthly payment:
130 Classified: $150,000
61 Admin/Mgr/Conf: $73,000
83 Instr & Non-instructional Faculty: $100,000
274 Total annual savings: $323,000
Potential savings from suspending an academic program or reducing the athletic budget. For
academic program, review cost data to identify high cost programs to suspend due to lack of
State funding.
Move forward on some of the revenue generating initiatives previously identified by the BPC,
such as locating cell phone or communications towers on District property. Additional revenue is
already included in the budget, so conservatism requires that the estimate not be increased until
some of the new money starts to materialize.
By centrally locating AOA support staff for the instructional areas to one location, efficiencies and
savings might be realized. Savings is about .25 FTE at about $30K salary.
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 & likely
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.
