FY ’06 Budget Information |
Health
Insurance Insurance premiums will go up 17% effective
March 1, 2006 – February 28, 2007. This
will raise the premium cost to the College $610,655 with mail order incentive
for prescription drugs. The mail order
incentive will save overall and will help keep premium increases down. Bill noted that the insurance increase trend
is 17-21 % across the state. Doug Hanuscin will set up open forums in
various buildings and employees will be notified that they have an
opportunity to attend insurance information meetings. KMU is working with Med Mutual to get information
packets sent to insurance participants. Budget
Amendment A resolution for consideration of approval of
2005-2006 operating budget amendment #2 will be taken to the Board of
Trustees on February 22, 2006.
Discussion on ways to reduce the deficit followed. |

FY ’07 Budget |
Student Enrollment Although
applications are up, student enrollment is down. It is imperative to have new students by
Fall Quarter 2006-07. Recruitment
and new programs were discussed. It
was suggested that we need to send people to recruit areas where companies or
other establishments are shutting down.
It was the consensus that the development of new programs needs to be
approached aggressively. There
is a President’s Staff Retreat on February 15. It is expected that enrollment ideas as
well as other concerns will be discussed at this meeting. |
