BACKGROUND:
According to the Cabrillo College 2012-13 Final Budget passed at the September 17, 2012 Governing Board
meeting (http://www.cabrillo.edu/internal/businessoffice/), Cabrillo College has an ongoing, structural
deficit of $3.1 million after making over $1 million permanent cuts to the unrestricted general fund for
2012-13.
The Cabrillo College 2012-13 Final Budget assumes that Proposition 30 does not pass in November, but
that the state will identify solutions to lessen the revenue reductions to the college. Should Proposition 30
fail, Cabrillo anticipates a workload reduction of 7.3%, which would equal an additional loss in revenues
of $3.5 million.
As a part of the 2009-10 budget reductions, the college eliminated most wintersession courses. In an
effort to prepare for additional reductions should Proposition 30 fail, the Cabrillo College District
proposes creating five unpaid furlough days during the 2012-13 school year, which will be non-work days
for most Cabrillo College District employees representing an estimated 2% salary reduction. The Cabrillo
campus and all college offices would be closed during these five days:
January 2, 2013
January 3, 2013
January 4, 2013
January 11, 2013
January 18, 2013
It should be noted that the District is still in negotiations with the classified union. Should an agreement
not be reached, savings from the closures will be reduced. Additional operational savings in electricity and
heating are anticipated and are yet to be determined.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The creation of these five unpaid furlough days during which the Cabrillo College campus would be
closed, is estimated to generate $280,750 in salary savings for all employee groups except the faculty.
Salary reductions for the administrators were incorporated into the final budget and are therefore not
reflected in the savings listed on this item.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the campus closure and
the addition of five furlough/non-work days to the 2012-13 calendar as presented.
