Total Solutions and Changes $27,197

* Changes are from the improvement in the state's revenue outlook

Mid-Year Cuts• The budget requires mid-year cuts if Dept. of Finance

determines on or before December 15th that revenues are falling short of budget assumptions. – Tier 0 – There will be no midyear cuts if at least $3

billion of the $4 billion of the higher revenues materialize

– Tier 1 – If only $2 billion to $3 billion of the revenues materialize, the CC system would see a $30M cut to apportionment at Spring semester offset by another $10 increase to student fees to $46 a unit

– Tier 2 – If less than $2 billion of the revenues materialize, the CC system will receive an apportionment reduction of up to $72 million beyond the Tier 1 cuts - [Basis for Final Budget]

Current Outlook• State’s budget assumptions are tenuous• MPC will be continue to budget for the “worst case”• Budget deficit is less than anticipated in Tentative

Budget – resulting in lowered employee concessions• If state revenues materialize, both collective bargaining

agreements have provisions for restoration of concessions

• Current revenue patterns and legal issues indicate a likely 2012-13 deficit of $5B - $10B

• Full restoration of funding to pre-recession (2007) levels is likely still 2 to 3 years away

reductions – mid year cuts may indicate more• Legislative focus remains on BS, GE/TR, & CTE• Redirected students continue to pressure

credit enrollment• Emphasis must be on retention to ensure

maximum apportionment revenue from a reduced schedule
