BUDGET PROCESSStephanie Curry / Donna Berry

THANK YOU!For your participation in the Budget Process Pilot.

Budget Journey• Current Budget Process for RC and MC/OC reviewed, as well as best

practices of other Community Colleges.

• Focus was to create a budget process that integrated several planning processes including, Program Review/SLO’s, Strategic Planning and College Goals.

• New Budget Process designed by Budget Committee (committee made up of members of all constituency groups).

• Budget Development Planning Calendar (Aligns RC budget process with District Budget Process)

• Pilot of the budget process with budget worksheet training

• Survey for feedback

• Budget Committee assessed pilot budget and made adjustments to process and form.

• New Budget Process reviewed by Academic Senate, Classified Senate, Department Chairs, and College Council

What we learned from the Pilot

• We don’t need individual programs to designate alternate funding sources

• Important to rank all needs • Importance of adding descriptions and

justifications. • Need more time to review and dialogue about

requests. • Training on new process is strongly

recommended
