Resources and Requirements Plan
Explanatory Notes
The 2007-08 Resources and Requirements Plan
estimates the impact of budget decisions made by the State, by the CSU System
Office, and the Long Beach campus on the resource allocations for the upcoming
year. The plan is based on the Governor's January Budget and the CSU Budget
letter B07-01. The campus did not receive any base budget adjustments as a
result of the May Revise. The plan does not include any changes that could
occur with the legislative proceedings that take place before the final budget
is passed.
The plan presents permanent and temporary allocations that
comprise this year's budget strategy.
The following notes provide an
explanation of the numbers shown on the plan. Other related notes and
recommendations on the budget strategy and selected topics can be found in the
sections following this plan.
RESOURCES
2006-07 General Fund
Base Budget
Net state support and budgeted revenues and reimbursements
detailed in the 2006-07 CSULB Internal Budget Document.
- 2006-07 Net State Support $190,215,840
- Represents that portion of the University's state budget supported by tax revenues.
2006-07 Revenues & Reimbursements
- State University Fee $87,563,707
- Represents that portion of the
University's budget supported by undergraduate, teacher credential and graduate
student fees.
- Other Receipts $22,245,813
- Represents the portion
of the University's budget comprised of fees and miscellaneous reimbursements
for services. Examples include student health center fee, application fee, non-
resident tuition, transcript fees, etc. This amount is exclusive of reimbursed
activities budgets that do display in the systemwide office budget documents.
Total 2006-07 Internal Budget $300,025,360
CSU
Adjustments to the 2006-07 Base Budget
- PERS Retirement – Rate Change $1,867,000
- Changes to the 2006-07 budget to cover the increased
cost of employer-paid contributions for employee retirement effective July 1,
2006. The adjustment by campus is based on budgeted General Fund salaries in
the 2006-07 campus FIRMS Final Budget submissions. Long Beach's share is 8.0%
of the total increase for the CSU.
- Legislative Augmentation for Outreach
Programs <$531,100>
- Campus General Fund budgets are reduced to reflect
the elimination by the Governor of the 2006-07 legislative augmentation for
outreach programs.
- Auxiliary Audit Chargeback <$11,800>
- Campus General Fund budgets are reduced to fund permanent charge-backs from
the Chancellor's Office for systemwide auxiliary auditor cost increases. The
charge-backs were prorated based on each campus's percentage share of the
total 2006-07 General Fund allocation. CSULB's portion is 7.5% of the total
assessment.
Total CSU Adjustments to the 2006-07 Base Budget
$1,324,100
- CSU Budget Plan General Fund Allocation
$12,461,900
- The net 2007-08 increase in the campus's General Fund allocation is based on
CSU budget allocations detailed in the CSU system coded memorandum B07-01 on the
2007-08 Governor's Budget Allocations.
- State University Fee Income
$9,600,000
CSULB expects a total of $97,163,707 to be collected in State
University Fee (SUF) revenue in 2007-08. This is an increase of $9,600,000 over
2006-07. The increase has two components:
- Enrollment growth of
637 full-time equivalent students (FTES), generating approximately $1,636,000,
or 17% of the total expected SUF revenue increase.
- A 10% rate increase
for undergraduate, graduate, and credential students effective Fall 2007,
generating $7,964,000, or 83% of the total expected SUF revenue increase.
This revenue projection is contingent on achieving an official 2007-08
college year enrollment of 29,357 FTES of which 1,709 FTES are expected during
the 2007 summer sessions.
Campus Resources
- Interest Income From
State University Fee Revenues
$463,000
- The campus is now authorized to
deposit and manage student fee revenue in local trust accounts and retain most
of the interest income that is generated. In order to keep this revenue shift
neutral to the state, an annual payment to the state will be made for lost
interest income. Despite this payment to the state, the campus is confident
that the total interest income will be sufficient enough to permanently pledge
this amount to the campus base budget.
- Temporary Resources
$8,707,395
- The campus has accumulated sufficient reserves for a temporary bridge until
permanent funds become available. The campus is comfortable pledging this
amount of temporary resources in order to fund unforeseen costs.
Total Campus Resources $9,170,395
Total General Fund Resources $332,581,755
REQUIREMENTS
2006-07 Internal Budget
The base
budgets for the operating divisions and university-wide programs as detailed in
the 2006-07 Internal Budget document.
- Divisions' Base
Budgets $188,522,001
- Base budgets for the operating divisions exclusive of
permanent compensation allocations awarded in 06-07 and to be awarded in
07-08.
- University-wide Budgets $111,503,359
- General, necessary, or
unavoidable costs that benefits the entire campus rather than a particular
operating division. Amount includes compensation funding that will be
permanently allocated to divisions for 06-07 awards.
2006-07 Internal Budget $300,025,360
Changes to 2006-07 Internal Budget
- PERS Retirement - Rate Change $1,867,000
- This is the offsetting entry
to the base budget adjustment to the Benefits budget associated with the rate
increase in campus contributions to the CalPERS employees' retirement program,
which became effective during 2006-07.
- Legislative Augmentation for
Outreach Programs <$531,100>
- Represents the reduction in this legislative
augmentation directed by the Governor that was received in the 2006-07 budget
allocation. Because these adjustments to outreach programs occurred for several
consecutive years, the campus protected the programs from constant increases and
decreases.
2007-08 CHANGES IN CAMPUS EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS
Represents permanent and temporary budget adjustments for divisions and
university-wide allocations.
Directed / Earmarked by System Office
- Health Benefits Rate Changes $2,079,000
- These expenses represent the
permanent increase in employer-paid health care costs resulting from January
2007 premium increases. The estimated incremental costs have been prorated on
the basis of our percentage share of reported 2005-06 General Fund health
benefits expenditures.
- Annualized Service Salary Increases (SSIs)
$187,000
- This is the estimated incremental full year costs of employee
service-based salary increases awarded in 2006-07. The majority of these costs
are attributed to employees represented by the CSU Employees Union (CSUEU). The
Chancellor's Office has not completed cost estimates for the other bargaining
units and will allocate additional funding to the campuses to offset some of
these costs at a later date.
- Energy Rate Changes & Consumption $301,000
- This represents one-half of the current estimated utilities
(electricity, natural gas, and water/sewer) cost increases for 2007-08. The
amount received by the campus is based on our proportional share of custodial
square footage (SQF4) as indicated in the 2006-07 Capital Planning Design and
Construction facility database.
- New Space $78,000
- This
represents the estimated cost of regular maintenance for new space on the campus
(Library addition and Isabel Patterson Child Development Center renovation).
The amount received by the campus is based on a rate of $8.84 per square
foot.
- State University Grant (SUG) $3,630,900
- Permanent budget
adjustment associated with the financial aid set aside of 33% of state
university fees from the increased revenue associated with changes in fee rates
and enrollment target. This adjustment is a preliminary projection of changes
that will occur in campus fiscal year 2006-07 budgeted SUG allocations. Final
decisions will be made after 2006-07 financial aid reports have been analyzed.
Consequently, campuses are only authorized to commit 90 percent of their
projected SUG allocation when making initial financial aid awarding
decisions.
- 3% Compensation Increase $6,361,000
- This is the
estimated cost to fund a 3 percent compensation pool to increase employee
salaries and salary-related benefits. Represented employees' salary increases
are negotiated through collective bargaining, and a compensation pool for each
represented employee group has been established from the available pool of
budget plan funds. Campuses must fund all salary–related increases that are
negotiated in the collective bargaining process regardless of compensation
funding provided by the system.
- 1.7% Salary Lag $3,592,000
- In
addition to a 3 percent general compensation increase, the 2007-08 budget plan
also provides funding to reduce employee salary lags. This is the estimated cost
to fund a 1.7 percent compensation pool to continue the second year of a five-
year strategic plan to reduce salary lags. Campuses must fund all
salary–related increases that are negotiated in the collective bargaining
process regardless of compensation funding provided by the system.
- Deferred Maintenance $162,000
- The backlog of deferred maintenance far
exceeds funds available in the budget plan to address campuses' need. The
campus will receive an allocation of $162,000 to add to existing deferred
maintenance budgets. Consistent with last year, instructional space will receive
the highest campus priority.
