Dr. Sias stated that there will be a Special Called Board Meeting on June 4, 2012, at which time a balanced budget will be presented. Dr. Sias shared with the committee the 2013 Financial Plan process that had been undertaken. The process included campus discussions with faculty, staff and students on the status of the 2013 planning process. Dr. Sias informed the committee about components of plan revenues and expenses. She also noted that there will be no regular salary increases in the budget for faculty or staff at this time. Dr. Sias stated that she is proud to say that all stakeholder groups in the university are in consensus about wanting to grow enrollment, continue to improve the retention rate and shorten the time it takes for students to graduate.

Dr. Sias asked Gary Meiseles, Director of Human Resource Services to talk briefly about the findings on the university's health insurance. Mr. Meiseles stated that rates have changed to better align plan structure with performance to minimize overinsuring and to improve plan cost efficiency for the university and the employees. Mr. Meiseles informed the committee that by increasing deductibles to $1000, $2000 and $4000, the premiums will be lower on all three tiers which will save the university and the employee money.

Kentucky State University Finance and Business Committee Meeting June 4, 2012

Fiscal 2013 Financial Plan

The Fiscal Year 2013 Financial Plan is the university's plan for the expenditure of available revenues. This financial plan is the product of multiple reviews and close scrutiny of budget requests. Continuing operations and fixed costs increases were reviewed to identify possible modifications to help meet the 6.4% state appropriation reduction. Special scrutiny of vacant positions and projected enrollment increases resulted in this balanced budget. Due to the unpredictability of student enrollments, past budgets have not included 100% of student revenues. This budget relies on 100% of expected student revenue, which is a change from prior periods where more conservative revenue estimates were utilized.

Total projected revenue is $61,846,316 and includes $24,075,400 from the state, which consists of an expected $538,000 state grant for the College of Agriculture and $23,537,400 in state appropriations. Revenue from students is projected at $25,975,156. Auxiliary revenues from housing, dining and other auxiliaries are projected at $7,203,860. Other revenue sources total $4,591,900. The 2013 Financial Plan also includes a 5% tuition/fee increase. Room and board fees, along with the tuition rate increase for 2012-2013 were approved by the Board of Regents at the January 27, 2012 meeting.

Campus wide participation from faculty, students and staff has resulted in a balanced financial plan for 2013. Continued close monitoring of enrollment, retention and spending during 2013 will determine whether midyear measures are required to achieve the plan.

Priority focus has centered on continued delivery of quality instruction, enrollment growth and improved retention while emphasizing academic programs in Business, Gerontology Teacher Education, and Criminal Justice.
