Discussion Items:
Introduction
• Higher Education is the Growth Industry in New York State • SUNY has the power to revitalize New York’s economy and enhance the quality of life in our communities • The SUNY Capital Plan is an economic development - job creation program
• Investing in SUNY capital is a win-win-win scenario for the State, SUNY and upstate communities
• Today we will update you on progress with the SUNY Capital Plan and identify opportunities for further investment
3
the Power of
Economic Impact
• Extensive and geographically diverse network of University facilities across the State provides a built-in framework for promoting economic development activities in every region of the State • Last year, SUNY educational facilities and hospital capital investments alone totaled over $728 million
4
• Approximately half, or $364 million, was for labor costs – not counting the multiplier effect • This year’s capital investment level is estimated to reach $940 million
College of Tech at Delhi – Renovate Smith Hall
Economic Impact • Given the current state of the economy, the design and construction industries are largely dependent upon public work projects • It is the State’s economic interest to support this industry and enable it to meet the demands when private sector investments resume • SUNY’s Capital Program is a significant economic engine throughout the State
5
• SUNY is experiencing: An increase in number of bidders Bids that are considerably under estimate Higher levels of competition
from Architects and Engineers 94% of the contracts awarded are to NYS firms

SUNY Proposal
• With additional State investment, SUNY could fully leverage the existing capital plans and take full advantage of excellent market conditions and competition
• Remove Residence Hall capital from State debt cap
• Take resulting debt cap capacity and partially reinvest in SUNY educational and hospital facilities
• Modernize the Community College Capital Program These proposals will immediately stimulate the economy, fully leverage a competitive marketplace, and bring SUNY facilities to a state of good repair

Educational Facilities
SUNY Proposal: • SUNY will be requesting the next installment of $550 million for Critical Maintenance funding in the 2011-12 budget submission • Restoring the spending targets for SUNY’s Educational Facilities Capital Program will allow for an immediate increase in capital investment
20
Hospitals
• Hospital Capital is disbursed to each hospital based on its approved multi-year strategic business plan • Use of PIT structure provides cost effective access to capital markets
21
• Projects include both critical maintenance and revenue-enhancing initiatives • Each SUNY hospital pays for the principal and interest associated with the debt for its capital projects
Downstate Medical Center – Ambulatory Services Expansion
Hospitals
• Full appropriation funding is required in order to submit for Certificate of Need (CON) approval, which occurs well in advance of construction • Appropriation cycle doesn’t always match the business cycle or CON cycle
22
• Ability to pay debt service is the financial control for the program, not the availability of appropriations • Successful revenue-generating projects have been achieved at Stony Brook, Syracuse and Brooklyn
Upstate Medical Center – Vertical Expansion/Tree House
Hospitals
• More predictable access to appropriations would allow current capital plans to better support hospital operations
• Increasing appropriations for SUNY hospitals will further planning and investment in SUNY hospitals at no additional cost to New York State • SUNY will be requesting $100 million of additional State Capital appropriations for each of its three hospitals

Residence Halls
• The Residence Hall Capital program is self-sustaining with revenues from room rents and other associated revenues paying the cost of debt service • Supported by separate Revenue Bonds, not PIT Bonds
25
• Switched to disbursement-based bonding in 2008 to utilize capital in a more efficient manner • Need more predictable appropriations which match business plans
College at Alfred – Townhouses
Residence Halls
• Ability to pay debt service is the financial control for the program, not the availability of appropriation • Residence Hall debt is State-related debt, not State-supported debt
• Removal of the Residence Hall debt from the State bond cap calculations could provide necessary bond cap relief for investment in other SUNY capital programs
• In 2008, SUNY requested $695 million in capital which was reduced to $450 million, a reduction of $245 million • SUNY will have exhausted capital appropriations by Spring 2011
26
Residence Halls
27
• Without additional capital appropriations:
No new additional Residence Hall projects can be
started
– $212M in projects in construction will stop
– $131M in projects will stop at completion of design
– $45M in new projects will not start
• SUNY will be requesting $500 million in additional Residence
Hall bonded capital and $90 million in hard dollar
appropriations in the 2011-12 budget submission which is
needed to support the program over the next two years

Residence Hall Funding - Capital History
Amount Requested
Amount Appropriated
Community Colleges
• All community college capital projects are planned, designed, bid and constructed under local control and authority, either by the college or the local sponsor • The program is a State and local partnership with each partner providing 50% of the cost for each project • Colleges must obtain a local sponsor resolution committing the local sponsor’s funding share to be included in SUNY’s Capital Budget Request
29
Community Colleges
• SUNY Community Colleges have a significant backlog of $411 million in deferred-capital maintenance
• The deferred maintenance is expected to grow to $807 million by 2014 and $1.3 billion by 2019
30
• The inability to secure the required 50% local match is the single largest impediment to the program
• Growth in Community College enrollment is compounding the facility dilemma as more students will be using increasingly deteriorating facilities
Academic Building – Mohawk Valley
Community College
31
Community Colleges
• The New York Community College Association of Presidents is developing proposals to address the funding gap; including:
A proposal to be submitted with SUNY’s 2011-12 budget to broaden the authorized sources of funds which can be used as the local sponsor match Initiating a study to develop proposals to modernize the capital chargeback structure including:
– Increasing the $300.00 fee which has not been changed since 1971
– Analyzing how the fee is charged and collected
– Indexing the fee to keep pace with the escalating capital
needs and costs
32
Community Colleges
Study and develop proposals to have New York State provide a larger share of capital costs in those communities without sufficient wealth to fully support its capital facility needs
• SUNY will be requesting approximately $30 million in
State capital appropriations in the 2011-12 budget submission for Community Colleges which have demonstrated local sponsor support for additional projects
• The recent change by New York State to bond its 50% share on a cash disbursement basis has created process, protocol, and resource challenges which must be addressed
