Reserves
General Reserve
Currently 5%
Unallocated One-time funds
“Operating Reserves”
General Reserve
• The General Reserve should not be
allocated under any circumstances.
• Using the General Reserve is a sign of fiscal
insolvency.
• Adverse impact on the District’s
accreditation if the General Reserve drops
below 5%
Unallocated One-time Funds
(Operating Reserve)
One-time funds are generated from:
o Unspent, unallocated base budget funds after the
books are closed.
o One-time funding received, not budgeted
o Adjustments from the recalculation of state
apportionment revenue for previous years are made
up to three years after a fiscal year is closed at the
local level

Risk Factors
To determine reserves needed
Cabrillo’s Base Budget
Cabrillo’s base, unrestricted General
Fund budget is approximately $58
million.
Cabrillo’s General Reserve
5% = $3 million
Revenue Trends
Forecasted deficit spending requires a
higher reserve to bridge the deficit.
Enrollment
Declining FTES requires an extra reserve
to manage permanent fluctuations in
FTES.
Unfunded Deferred Facilities
Maintenance
Cabrillo’s estimate is $5 million per year
(unfunded)
Changes in Legislation /
Compliance Mandates
Cause increases in expenditures /
decreases in revenue.
Retiree Benefits
Cabrillo’s future liability is
approximately $17 million with $3
million funded.
Budget Guidelines
Options to consider
•
Develop a maximum percentage of salaries/benefits, not to exceed
a certain percentage of base budget
•
Increase General Reserve percentage (from 5% to X%)
•
Continue to utilize Unallocated One-time Operating Reserves to
fund college priorities
•
Allocate a fixed percentage of ongoing and one-time funds to the
following:
•
Deferred Facilities
Maintenance
•
Technology
•
Program Planning
•
Retiree Benefits
•
Equipment Replacement
College Planning Council
Feedback
Some CPC Members recommended using
One Time Funds for:
 Salary increases
 Bonus payments to employees
 Funding the Deficit
 Increasing Reserves
 Facilities Deferred Maintenance
What actions are needed
and when?
• Develop and implement a restructuring plan for the
college.
• $2 million in reductions equivalent to the revenue loss of
387 FTES; 3.5%
• Reduce non-general fund programs as necessary.
• Balanced budget
• Develop budget guidelines/procedures
• Develop timeline: Phase in restructuring and reductions
starting now- implement all reductions by July 1, 2016
