Budget Terminology
- General Fund - Fund 14
- This is the general operating fund of the district. This is the fund that receives
the state apportionment and property taxes for income and pays most of the expenses
of the teaching and support staff in addition to all the operating expenses like the
'B' budget and utilities, etc. Basically everything happens here unless the State
designates a fund to be set up for a special purpose.
- B Budgets
- This represents discretionary funding for the college. It is used for supplies, casual
hourly and all other operating expenses such as repairs, postage, etc., that are the
college’s obligation. It is distinguished from 'A budgets' which represent the contracted
salaries of faculty and classified staff and other agreed upon expenses such as facilities
rental, utilities, negotiated release time, etc. The amount of the 'B budget' is set
through an historic formula that allocates money to the campus. This amount is then
augmented by the income that the campus generates. This campus' generated income includes
instructional materials, parking fines, sale of catalogs and schedules, registration
enrollment fees, transcript fees and a host of other minor fees/revenues.
- Bond Money
- It is often asked why we cannot use Measure C and G (bond) money to solve budget shortfalls.
The bond money is restricted by law to only be used for capital outlay projects and
the incidental costs of professionals devoted to the implementation of those capital
outlay projects. These projects are paid for by bonds, which are sold by the district
to raise money for designated capital projects and paid back by the taxpayers of our
district over a (roughly) 30-year time period. Consequently, these dollars cannot
be used to pay any operating expenses. The Citizens Bond Oversight Committee meets
on a regular basis to ensure that all expenditures for bond projects meet the legal
state and local requirements for expenditures of these bond monies.
