The Clarendon College Board of Regents approved a $9.097 million budget for fiscal year 2011 during their regular board meeting last Thursday, August 19.
The overall budget is about $270,000 higher than the current budget, and it includes a one percent raise for college employees.
CC President Bill Auvenshine said the budget reflects higher maintenance tax collections in Gray and Childress counties as well as more revenue expected from tuition and fees.
Only one citizen – Enterprise publisher Roger Estlack – attend the public budget hearing held immediately prior to the board meeting. He commented on the good done by taxes collected in Donley County and asked one question about how staff health benefits
were funded.
The college district tax rate will be discussed and set at the board’s regular meeting next month. College officials plan to adopt the effective tax rate, which will collect the same tax revenue currently being collected.
In other college business, regents: accepted a bid on delinquent tax property as presented by the Donley Appraisal District; accepted a proposal by the Texas Association of School Boards for property and casualty insurance; approved the grant-funded purchase of wind energy equipment; reviewed the college’s investment policy; received a request by Great Western Dining to increase its charges by four percent; and approved the revised policy manual, personnel handbook, and student handbook.
