Upon the creation of the consent agenda, a motion, a second to the motion, and unanimous approval of the Board of Trustees is needed to approve the action items. Upon approval of the consent agenda, the Board of Trustees will proceed with the remainder of the agenda.

Rationale: The consent agenda format is an organization process for meetings that allows the governing board to focus their time and attention on action items that require more elaboration, information, and/or discussion. The intent of the consent agenda is to support efficiency and effectiveness of the meeting.

Policy Report and Consideration No. 1 (ACTION ITEM 1) Board Meeting 8-4-16

Request: Consideration of Approval of Change to Policy I.C.2.19 (ACTION ITEM 1) (FINAL READING)

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees approve the proposed change to Policy Recommendation: I.C.2.19.

Rationale: Currently Board Policy I.C.2.19 provides that to be elected to a public office, a candidate must receive more votes than any other candidate for the office. This is plurality vote requirement. Upon review of this policy and current statutory authority, as well as an Attorney General opinion, the College should be electing its trustees by majority vote rather than by plurality

Although Section 2.001 of the Election Code provides that elections in the State of Texas are by plurality that is only true if another law does not provide otherwise. Section 130.082 provides that junior college districts are to elect trustees by majority vote. Additionally, Section 130.0822, governing junior colleges electing by single member district, requires compliance with Section 130.082.

Fiscal Impact: This policy change, which now requires a majority vote could result in run-off elections for which the College would bear the cost of administering the run-off election and unlike their general elections the College likely would not be able to disperse the cost of a run-off with election partners.

Staff Resource: Helen Clougherty 832-813-6514 Mario Castillo 832-813-6655

I.C.2.19 Majority Vote Required

A candidate receiving a majority of the votes cast for a position shall be declared elected. If no candidate receives a majority, then the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall run against each other for the position in a run-off election. The run-off election shall be held and conducted in compliance with state law.1

Request: Consideration and Approval of the Proposed Amendment to Lone Star College Board Policy Manual Section IV.F.2 Professional Development and Qualified Tuition Reduction Program/Educational Assistance Program (ACTION ITEM 2) (FINAL READING)

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees approve the Proposed Amendment to the Recommendation: College’s Board Policy Manual Section IV.F.2, amending the name of Section IV.F.2 to Professional Development and Educational Assistance Program and Section policy provisions related to professional development and educational assistance for employees.

Rationale: Current policy requires repayment of tuition and fee waivers granted to employees unsuccessful in satisfying waiver eligibility requirements. In efforts to encourage and cultivate a culture of support to employees in educational career advancement opportunities, the College seeks to eliminate the condition of repayment under any circumstance. This amendment would also remove and relocate the specific listing of additional waiver eligibility requirements contained in current policy to procedures developed and published for this program. This relocation would allow the College the ability to promptly revise or adjust eligibility requirements as needed in response to evolving program needs. Additionally, the renaming of this Section to “Professional Development and Educational Assistance Program” (emphasis added) ensures that the College policy naming convention is accurately aligned with the federal statutory naming convention for this program.

For these reasons, the College requests the Board to consider and review the proposed Section IV.F.2 policy amendments.

Fiscal Impact: Based on prior fiscal year data, the cost of this policy amendment is estimated to be approximately $30,000.

Curriculum Report and Consideration 1 (ACTION ITEM 4) Board Meeting 8-4-16

Request: Consideration of Approval of expanding the Accounting Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and CPA Certificate to Lone Star College- Kingwood.

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees approve the following request for an expansion Recommendation: of the Accounting AAS degree and CPA Advanced Technical Certificate to Lone Star College-Kingwood.

Rationale: Lone Star College-Kingwood has traditionally offered some courses for the AAS and CPA Certificate without ability to graduate completing students. Demands in the Houston-Sugarland-Baytown Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) show substantial growth for accountants and accounting-related occupations, and labor market data from the Texas Workforce Commission, Economic Modeling Specialists and Burning Glass Technologies show very high demand and strong wages for these occupational fields.

Accounting AAS Occupation: Bookkeeping, Accounting & Auditing Clerks TWC Total Annual Average Job Openings (2012-2022) 1,125 TWC Entry Wage (2013) $11.86 TWC Median Wage (2013) $17.51 Burning Glass Demand (Job Postings Feb. 1, 2015- Jan. 31, 2016, Houston- 5,027 Sugarland-Baytown Metropolitan Statistical Area)

Accounting ATC (CPA) Occupation: Accountants & Auditors TWC Total Annual Average Job Openings (2012-2022) 1,660 TWC Entry Wage (2013) $22.68 TWC Median Wage (2013) $33.70 Burning Glass Demand (Job Postings Feb. 1, 2015- Jan. 31, 2016, Houston-Sugarland- 12,521 Baytown Metropolitan Statistical Area) Sources: Texas Workforce Commission, Burning Glass Technologies

There will be no change to current program curriculum for these expansions to occur. Labor market data and zip code analysis were reviewed during the internal vetting process for this expansion request. No negative impacts to existing programs at LSC-Montgomery, LSC-North Harris, LSC-Tomball and LSC-University Park are predicted.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires that the College’s Board of Trustees approves new programs.

Fiscal Impact: Funding for this program will be included in the proposed FY 2016-17 budget for LSC-Kingwood.

17 Financial Report and Consideration No. 2 (ACTION ITEM 5) Board Meeting 8-4-16

Request: Consideration of Adoption of the Recommended 2016-2017 Budgets

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees adopt the 2016-2017 recommended budgets and Recommendation: authorize the Chancellor to approve expenditure budget transfers among the funds, as necessary and allowed by law, as long as such transfers do not result in a change in the total expenditures budget of $347,662,000.

Rationale: Following several months of study, planning, development and evaluation, the administration, in consultation with the Board of Trustees, recommends a budget that accurately reflects the System’s educational plan for 2016- 2017.

The recommended budgets are as follows:

REVENUES:

SOURCE AMOUNT STATE ALLOCATIONS $74,051,000 STUDENT REVENUES 119,381,000 LOCAL TAXES 134,613,000 MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES 19,617,000

TOTAL REVENUES $347,662,000

EXPENDITURES/USES:

OPERATING $301,350,000 OPERATING DEBT PAYMENT 7,500,000 REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS 5,562,000 STUDENT ACTIVITIES 2,760,000 TECHNOLOGY 12,380,000 CORPORATE COLLEGE 3,000,000 AUXILIARY 11,790,000 TOTAL EXPENDITURES/USES $344,342,000 ADDITIONS TO RESERVES 3,320,000 TOTAL EXPENDITURES/USES & $347,662,000 ADDITIONS TO RESERVES

2016-2017 is the second year of the biennium, thus the State allocations remain the same as 2015-2016. Student revenues reflect an estimated 3% growth in enrollments, credit tuition will be increased by $2 per credit hour and discipline-based differential fees will be increased an average $4 per credit hour. These increases in tuition and fees were previously approved by the Board of Trustees at the March 3, 2016 meeting.

Certified property values have not been received, but the preliminary rolls provided by the appraisal districts indicate that net taxable values will increase in both Harris and Montgomery Counties by an average of 8%. The 2016-2017 tax revenues are estimated using the same rate as the 2015- 2016 budget. Once the certified rolls have been received, a recommendation will be taken to the Board of Trustees regarding the tax rate in September. It is estimated that the tax rate will remain the same, or be slightly lower.

The 2016-2017 budget contains several initiatives in support of the College’s strategic priorities: Academic & Workforce Program Quality, Student Success, Culture, Partnerships and Financial Responsibility & Accountability.

Compensation recommendations included in the budget are as follows: • A 2% cost of living adjustment (minimum of $750) for all full-time employees hired prior to June 1, 2016, effective September 1, 2016 • A $2 per contact hour increase for adjunct faculty • A 2% increase for part-time staff • 20 new full-time faculty • A 7 % increase in group health insurance premiums

Fiscal Impact: The budget as presented is a balanced budget based on conservative revenue estimates.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 3 (ACTION ITEM 6) Board Meeting 8-4-16

Request: Consideration of Approval of Proposed Salary Schedule Changes for Deans of Instruction and Master of Fine Arts

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees approve the salary schedule changes below Recommendation: with an effective date of September 1, 2016.

• Creation of band 091A for Deans of Instruction

• Creation of a separate faculty pay level for Masters of Fine Arts

Rationale: The new salary schedules address the challenges in recruiting academic deans and change the current faculty salary structure to recognize the Master of Fine Arts as a terminal degree in the field of study.

These changes were recommended by two Lone Star College committees and reviewed by Human Resources.

Fiscal Impact: Funds of approximately $90,000 for these changes are included in the recommended FY2016-17 budget.

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees approve the purchase of technology hardware, Recommendation: software, and services in a total not-to-exceed sum of $10,000,000 during FY 2016-17.

The Chancellor also represents to the Board that no combination of contracts, purchases, or expenditures under this Board Agenda Item will exceed $10,000,000.

Austin Building, 1700 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, to purchase electricity services for a period not-to-exceed 60 months, beginning July 2019 through June 2024.

Rationale: Lone Star College’s (the “College” or “LSC”) current electricity supplier is Energy For Schools (“EFS”), a political subdivision organized under the authority of the Texas Local Government Code for the purpose of negotiating the purchase of electricity services on behalf of its members. The Board of Trustees approved the College’s membership in EFS in December 2003. EFS is currently buying LSC’s electricity from the GLO.

At the December 3, 2015 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a similar item for the period December 4, 2015, through June 30, 2019. The previous agreement with EFS has expired. It was effective July 1, 2014 and ended June 30, 2016 and electricity was provided at a rate of $0.06749 per kWh. The current agreement with EFS, effective July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2019, provides electricity at a rate of $0.05685 per kWh. The current market rates for electricity after June 30, 2019 vary between $0.040 and $0.045 per kWh, approximately 20% below LSC’s current rate.

At this time, EFS is only willing to enter into contracts through June 2020. By executing a contract directly with the GLO, the significant price savings can be extended to June 2024.

Upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor or designee will negotiate and execute a new agreement for electricity services for the College at a rate to be quoted by GLO for the period beginning July 1, 2019 for up to 60 months, or June 30, 2024. This rate must be accepted the same day it is received in order to execute a fixed rate agreement. In addition, as additional facilities open after June 30, 2019, the Chancellor or designee will negotiate and execute new agreements or amendments to existing agreements based on the most favorable terms and conditions available. LSC will not execute a contract unless there is at least a 15% reduction below the current contract price.

This purchase is in accordance with Texas Government Code, Subchapter F, Sections 271.101-102, which allows a local government to participate in a cooperative purchasing program with another local cooperative organization.

Fiscal Impact: Electricity purchases under the current electrical agreement for FY 2016- 17 are projected to be approximately $4,872,000. Based on the forecasted volume of electricity purchases in June 2019 and a 20% reduction in the rate from the current contract, LSC could save approximately $800,000.

Request: Consideration and Approval to Review and Ratify an Agreement for the Economic Development of Harris County and the Chancellor’s Execution of the Agreement

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees review and ratify the Economic Development Recommendation: Funding Agreement with Harris County for an in-kind sum not exceeding $125,000 and the Chancellor’s execution of the agreement.

Rationale: Lone Star College (“College”) has participated in this Economic Development Program for several years. The College is awarded $125,000 if it will match the amount in-kind. The College provides this match of funding through services, equipment, and rentals.

Under Section I.G.1.04 of the College Policy Manual, the Chancellor has limited authority to take emergency action that is normally within the authority of the Board. Such authority is limited to occurrences that require urgent or immediate action including when such action is reasonably necessary to protect substantial personal or real property of the System. Harris County required an expedited execution of the Economic Development Funding Agreement which would have risked $125,000 in funding from Harris County to the College if the deadline had not been met.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this agreement are included in the approved FY 2015-16 budgets.

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees adopt the resolution, which affirms the pricing Recommendation: certificates for the three 2016 series of refunding bonds, the net present value debt service savings achieved by these series of refunding bonds, and the defeasance of certain outstanding bonds.

Rationale: This resolution reaffirms the Board’s approval of these actions. It has been several months since the Board’s initial resolutions approving these series of refunding bonds and the transactions have now been completed.

Fiscal Impact: This resolution has no fiscal impact not already approved by other Board resolutions; however, it reaffirms the Board’s approval of a course of action that saves the College approximately $81 million over the life of the College’s debt service.
