FISCAL ADVISORY Fiscal Advisory Committee Notes Minutes of meeting: December 8, 2006 Revised at meeting on 2-10-07 (Spelling)
Present: Becky Emery, Tim Dunn, Kevin Dallaire, Jackie Eberts, Kashi Khazeh, Greig Mitchell, Alan Selser, and Robert Long
1. Minutes of the previous minutes were approved after some discussion.
2. There was a discussion about the time line for approving the budgets each year. Dr. Emory described the examples that she sent out before the meeting. Mr. Mitchell described some of the problems of submitting the current year's budget since there were delays in the information being sent to SU. After the Governor sends his mark to the University System the system tells us how much to ask for and demands a quick response. Mr. Mitchell said that his staff would be working on Christmas Eve to meet the deadline.
3. There was a discussion of the different kinds of budgets and budgeting system. The Committee focused on the way money was allocated to schools and how much leeway the Deans had to direct the spending. There was a consensus that the Deans should be encouraged to share budget information with the Department Chairs whenever possible.
4. There was a discussion of the future of the SU Forum and of committees such as the FAC now that the Faculty Senate was forming its own committee for budget matters. Several members of the committee stated that they thought that the Forum still served a purpose and that the FAC was a good example with representation from staff, faculty, & students.
5. There was a discussion about the "growth money" that will be allocated by the system to accommodate additional students. Dr. Dunn asked if there was a budget formula based on credit hour production. Mr. Mitchell explained that Maryland does not have an enrollment based formula like some states. The growth money is a step forward in that we usually have to take the students first and then ask for the money.
6. Dr. Emory asked about meeting time for the Spring 07 semester. She will check schedules and move the meeting up an hour if possible.
7. The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
