Campus Building Requires Capital $$$

Overview of Capital projects Funding process

Good Times with the Funding Cycle

State severance tax funds• severance tax bonds are issued by the New Mexico Board of Finance to fund projects approved by the

legislature, such as the construction of public schools and other state buildings, higher education capital projects, and water resource projects.

• They use funds derived from the investment and the revenues from the extraction of natural resources statewide.

General Obligation Bonds• Voter approved State bonds that are secured by a state government’s pledge to use legally available

resources, including tax revenues, to repay bond holders.

• Most general obligation pledges at the local government level include a pledge to levy a property tax to meet debt service requirements

• GOBs are voter approved in even year November elections (Vote yes November • ??? % of Taos residents have overwhelmingly approved these bonds

Local funds

• UNM-Taos is the beneficiary of the funds available from Taos County's Educational Gross Receipts Tax (EGRT) designed to support capital project initiatives of the school districts of Taos, Penasco, Questa and UNM-Taos.

• The Statute passed in 2012 authorized a Taos County Ordinance imposing an excise tax at the rate of one-half of one percent as a portion of Gross Receipts Tax charged on business transactions.

• The funds are a one time distribution over a ten year period and are intended to address capital project needs as well as leverage cost sharing opportunities for additional capital monies.

Planning to funding takes 2 years if you receive all your funding

Choose wisely to spread limited resources

The last several years have been rocky ones for higher education across the country and here in New Mexico.

Challenges• Reductions in state support for public institutions of

higher education.• Demographic changes which mean that smaller

proportions of college students will be traditional age.

• The high numbers of students who are unprepared for higher education.

• The lack of jobs and career opportunities for those students who do graduate.

• The increasing equity gap between those students who do go to college and those that don’t.

• The gap between what is needed for workforce development and what is taught in higher education.

• The increasing reliance on distance learning, part-time faculty and other changes in response to technology, budget efficiencies, entrepreneurialism and consumer demands.

• Heightened demands for accountability, measurement, and transparency.

• The rapid turnover of leaders in higher education and the diminishing numbers of those willing and able to take their place.

• The need for colleges and universities to evolve and innovate or atrophy.

Capital Projects funding process Lots of cuts along the way

Capital funds can be cut at any step along the way

• HED passes a recommended capital amount for all higher ed. projects on to the DFA and LFC= first budget cut

• Legislatures cuts again during budget balance sessions = 2nd budget cut

• Governor adopts the budgets or can veto and cut

• State funding has frozen the Building Repair & Renewal fund at 2010 levels• Future capital dollars will be

spent on repairs and upgrades- deferred maintenance

• Forces universities to limit space• Seek inventive solutions to

meet space needs• Dual purpose and increased

utilization initiatives

Year 2:The funds are approved now the challenging work begins

• The Project must be converted from a CONCEPT to REALITY

• funding that has been approved is almost always LESS THAN THE AMOUNT REQUIRED to fulfill the needs.

• Before the funds can be spent on anything, including preliminary designs, the Project must be more accurately defined:• Specific academic or administrative needs that

will be fulfilled• Specific design parameters and more accurate

building cost information must be developed

• HED and DFA review these specific needs and parameters to be certain that the funding is being used as approved by Legislation.

• All of this is developed, reviewed and approved before any actual designs or constructions proposals are received.

Capital Projects funding process Lots of pit falls along the way

UNM Taos is adept at stretching the budget

The approval process sometimes appears to be cumbersome, torturous

and redundant, but, it is absolutely necessary so that everyone involved in the Process can be assured that we are

spending taxpayer funds in an appropriate manner.

Capital Projects funding process additional approvals during design and

construction

Planning, programming, design and construction must follow UNM wide planning, design and approval guidelines

• Place Making; Creating the Campus Heart

Developing the spaces in between builds the campus

landscaped core incrementally

Landscaping concepts

• Existing features/landscape lead the design

• the tremendous view toward the north

• the downward slope of the terrain from south to north

• drainage pattern running roughly from the south east toward the north west

• undisturbed natural areas primarily on the west and north

• Includes natural ways, arroyos, plazitas for gatherings and multi purpose areas

The unique character of Taos lends itself to an informal blending of organic spaces rather than a rigid geometric plan common to many traditional campuses. The central landscape plan should serve various functions such as small and large gatherings, pedestrian movement as well as active and contemplative users. The plan should also creatively address drainage, accessibility, maintenance, utility corridors, and the conservation of the native landscape where possible.

Strategic Planningseven Goals

The Strategic Plan focuses on seven goals to strengthen the UNM Taos commitment to Students and our campus community:

• Student Success: Retention and Graduation

• Career Pathways/Dual Credit/Early College

• Campus Safety and Security

• Fiscal Stability and Human Resources

• Communication, Campus Culture and Community Outreach

• Facilities Planning/Campus Environment

• Institutional Effectiveness

The Strategic plan is the roadmap to guide us on the journey forward.

Strategic PlanningGoals, Objectives, Activities &

Measures

Specific actions to reach each Goal have been identified:• Each Goal is further

developed into OBJECTIVES with ACTIVITIES and TIMELINES to

complete the actions

• Actions are assigned and specific parties are responsible for completing tasks

• Each action will be assessed for effectiveness in reaching the goal

Each objectives now has a roadmap to accomplishment

The success of this Plan, and the long-term success of UNM-Taos itself, relies heavily upon putting in place procedures for consistently assessing our progress, for measuring effectiveness and demonstrating that we have allocated our resources to efforts that truly matter.

Strategic PlanningFollow UP

The key to ensuring that a strategic plan is a living, relevant, viable document is to address directly the methods by which the institution will:• monitor the

implementation of the activities and

• continually assess progress toward meeting the plan’s objectives.

Ownership of and responsibility for this Strategic Plan rests with the campus’ Administrative Team, which will function as an “implementation task force” for the purpose of bringing this Plan into fruition.

• Future planning 2015

Strategic PlanningFuture
