Area Responsible: Budget & Financial Services Josette Shaughnessy, Fernando Flores To approve tuition and fees rate increases effective the Fall 2016 semester for resident and non-resident credit students. The recommended increases would also include a $4 increase to the currently approved general use fee of $16 per credit hour effective Fall 2016. The additional $4 increase is recommended by the administration to finance revenue bonds that will fund Phase 1A of the District Master Plan approved by the Board of Trustees on December 4, 2015. Explanation: Currently, resident and non-resident students pay a combined rate of $99 and $168 per credit hour respectively for tuition and general use fee. At the Board’s request, the administration evaluated the feasibility of a two-year tuition plan which was initially presented on January 29, 2016 to the Tuition and Fees Committee comprised of students, faculty and staff. Under the proposed plan, approved tuition rates would remain the same from Fall 2016 through Summer 2018 with the caveat that there is (1) no reduction in state funding, and (2) additional growth in formula and student success points funding from the biennial legislative sessions. In an effort to receive feedback from the students, a presentation to the Student Government Association (SGA) was advertised and held in the Student Union at the Valle Verde campus on February 3, 2016. A presentation of the same plan was made at a budget workshop to the Board of Trustees on February 16, 2016. The Tuition and Fees Committee met again on February 26, 2016 and evaluated feedback from the Board and the SGA. At that time the Committee voted to increase, effective Fall 2016, resident and non-resident tuition by $10 (11.9%) and $15 (9.8%) per credit hour respectively. The Committee convened again on March 4, 2016 and voted to increase the General Use Fee by $4 per credit hour as recommended by the administration. The final impact of the combined tuition rate and general use fee increases as approved by the Tuition and Fees Committee would represent an increase of 15.15% and 11.9% for resident and nonresident students respectively. The attached proposed Tuition and Fees rate schedule to be approved by the Board of Trustees is contingent upon the discussion held during the March 23 budget workshop held prior to the regular Board meeting.

Area Responsible: Additional Amount Not to Exceed: $9,079 Physical Plant Josette Shaughnessy, Rick Lobato To increase the GCA Services Group of Texas contract for additional janitorial support for the area that now houses the Research & Accountability Division. Explanation: The Board of Trustees, based on Request for Competitive Sealed proposals process CSP #10-001, approved a contract for janitorial services with GCA Services Group of Texas, L.P. in October 2009. That contract is set to expire on August 31, 2016. Recently, the creation of new office space at the Administrative Service Center for the Research & Accountability Division has resulted in new office space to be cleaned and maintained. As such, the newly created space, which amounts to over 14,527 square feet, will result in additional janitorial costs under the current contract. These added costs will take the current contract, valued at $1,702,502, up $9,079 to $1,711,581. The Administration requests approval of this additional $9,079 amount. The Purchasing & Contract Management Department will soon be issuing a new solicitation for proposals that will result in a new contract, to begin September 1, 2016. That contract will be brought before the Board of Trustees for approval in July or August 2016. Funding is provided by the Custodial Services budget.
