California State University, Long Beach 2007-08 Resource Planning Process

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.

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.

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.

Base Budget Recovery Plan Allocation $2,652,000
An allocation of permanent base budget funds to the operating divisions of the university to replace its dependency on temporary resources.
Non-Base Budget Recovery Plan Allocation $3,000,000
An allocation of temporary funds to the operating divisions of the university to continue the recovery phase of the budget recovery plan.
Faculty Allocation for New Enrollment $1,833,855
This allocation of permanent funds supports the faculty costs to accommodate an additional 537 full time equivalent students, funded at the rate of $3,415 per FTES (an increase of $299 per FTE over last year's marginal cost rate.)
Comprehensive Fundraising Campaign $1,847,300
An allocation of temporary funds to support the ongoing costs of conducting the comprehensive fundraising campaign.
Enhanced Classroom Maintenance $700,000

2006-07 Compensation Shortfall $500,000
An allocation of permanent base funds to cover the estimated cost of 2006-07 permanent salary increases for all employees in excess of the compensation budget pool allocated by the Chancellor's Office.
2007-08 Compensation Shortfall $2,205,000
An allocation of temporary funds to cover the estimated cost of 2007-08 permanent salary increases for all employees in excess of the compensation budget pool allocated by the Chancellor's Office.
Benefits Related to New Faculty and Salary Changes $2,091,440
Estimated cost of permanent incremental benefits related to the faculty allocation for new enrollment ($531,800 in permanent funds), 2006-07 compensation shortfall ($107,240 in permanent funds), 2007-08 compensation shortfall ($473,000 in temporary funds), and repayment of the 100 FTES advance to division's base budgets in 2006-07 from the benefits budget ($979,400 in permanent funds).
