MHCC promise kept - no levy
Residents in the Mount
Hood Community College
district can relax the hold on
their checkbooks a bit.
The
Gresham-based
college says it w ill live with
its year-old promise tc
taxpayers and not seek more
money in the form of a new
levy this year. Instead, ihe
college president indicated
last Wednesday evening the
school w ill make due with
funds from its year-old tax
base despite getting less
money from the state and a
23 percent inflation rate.
The MHCC Board began
Wednesday what w ill be a
two month
process
in
molding
a
191-page
document and $17.5 million
into its education program
for 1981-82.
Of that $17.5 million, some
$6.35 million w ill come from
the district’s tax base, which
voters approved last spring.
The $5.9 million tax base
approved last year w ill
automatically grow by 6
percent, as allowed by the
state law.
And MHCC will combine
that money with tuition and
fees, state and federal
government support and
other sources of money to
form its $17.5 million general
fund budget.
The general fund is the
source of the day-to-day
operations of the college used
to pay teachers and other
employees,
operate and
maintain its buildings and
provide instructional support
and student services.
College president Stephen
Nicholson told the board at
the Wednesday meeting the
proposed
1981-82 budget
reflects
the
blend
of
economic recession and
optimism of replacing out
moded programs with new
ones.
“ Our previous experience
with reduced resources has
provided some basis for
making
changes
which
enable the college to do more
with its remaining resources
than
we
had believed
possible," Nicholson said in
his budget message.
He reminded the board
that MHCC promised in 1980
that if voters approved a new
tax base the college would
not seek a special tax levy
this year. But he said the
school is able to keep that
promise only because it is
carrying over savings from
its 1979-BO and 1980-81
budgets.
"This is a one-time op
portunity and cannot be
repeated in the coming year
when a new tax base will be
required to sustain the
college," Nicholson said.
The general fund budget is
proposed to increase by 13
percent — or $2 million —
over this year’s budget. But
$1.5 million of that is cash it
managed to save during the
past two years and won’t
have available in 1982-83.
The college will also gain
$338,000 from the 6 percent
growth in its tax base and
$200,000 from a 10 percent
increase in tuition and fees.
But it expects to see a
decrease of $180,000 in state
support and show a loss of
$235,000 in uncollectable
taxes and tax discounts.
Of the proposed $17.5
million general fund, the
largest share — 47 percent —
goes for instruction. College
support services is hte next
largest category — 14 per
cent — while building
operation and maintenance
requires 10 percent of the
budget.
Another 10 percent of the
money is kept in the con
tingency fund, but that is
expected to drop to about 5
percent
after
mid-year
contracts are negotiated with
teachers, staff and some
managers.
Student services requires 9
percent of the proposed
budget; instructional sup
port, 4 percent; transfers, 4
percent;
unappropriated
funds, 1.7 percent and .37
percent is being set aside for
public service.
In other action Wednesday,
the MHCC board authorized
the college to apply for a
federal grant that would pay
90 percent of the cost to make
the MHCC aquatic center
more energy efficient. The
school estimates it would
cost $374,000 for energy
saving projects that would
