POLONCARZ COUNTY EXECUTIVE July 13, 2020 Honorable Members Erie County Legislature 92 Franklin Street, Fourth Floor Buffalo, New York 14202 RE: SUNY Erie Community College 2020-2021 Budget Dear Honorable Legislators: Please find enclosed a copy of SUNY Erie Community College's ("SUNY Erie" or the "College") 2020-2021 Revised Budget as submitted by the SUNY Erie Board of Trustees on July 10 2020. The budget totals $94,989,365 which is a decrease from SUNY Erie's $104,840,296 2019-2020 Modified Budget, and an increase of $11,064,658 from the originally submitted 2020-2021 SUNY Erie budget. As part of our due diligence, before submitting this budget to you, my administration reviewed, analyzed, and discussed the Budget with SUNY Erie's interim management team. Like nearly every institution in the world right now, SUNY Erie is facing significant operational and fiscal challenges as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. SUNY Erie originally submitted a budget of $83,924,707, a major 19.94% decrease from the modified 2019-2020 budget. This original budget assumed total enrollment declining to 7,959.5 FTE's and a 25% reduction in aid from New York State. The revised budget projects slightly higher enrollment of 8,107 FTE's and state aid reductions of 20%. The revised budget also correctly budgets the sponsor contribution at $18,804,317 up $250,000 from the original budget's $18,554,317, and corrects a miscalculation of state aid.

This renewable energy purchase agreement is estimated to produce $125M in lower energy costs and savings, increase grid and neighborhood resiliency, create 3,300 new local jobs, infuse over $250M in new economic impact into the region, instill greater budget predictability and stability, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 82,298 metric tons annually.1 ____________________________ 1 100MW of Capacity = 326,988kWh x 365 days per year as per the NREL pvwatts calculator.

    The New York Energy Manager: How Building Energy Data Have Been Utilized to Drive Value at SUNY Buffalo State College and Stony Brook University Rob Neimeier, Director, Energy Efficiency and Planning, O’Brien & Gere Engineers ​ ​ Thomas Lanzilotta, CEM, CEA, Sustainability and Energy Manager, Stony Brook University ​ ​ Rebecca Hughes, Manager of Marketing and Training for New York Energy Manager (NYEM) ​ ​ ABSTRACT Energy managers from Buffalo State College (BSC) and Stony Brook University (SBU) will share how they’ve used different types of data ranging from campus level electrical meters to - - asset level submeters to drive energy savings, manage costs, and reduce greenhouse gas - - emissions. Tom Lanzilotta will discuss SBU’s experience with deep submetering at the Stony Brook Recreation Center and Mike Madigan will present results from the current BSC Campus Energy Manager demonstration project. Rebecca Hughes, New York Power Authority, will speak to the role of technology in managing energy on a college campus. Beginning in January 2017, Buffalo State College (BSC) initiated a two year pilot program with - O’Brien & Gere (OBG) to demonstrate the energy savings potential and sustainability benefits derived from having a Campus Energy Manager (CEM). The objectives of the part time BSC - CEM program include managing campus energy use, reducing campus operating costs, increasing energy awareness, and improving operation and maintenance energy effectiveness. Using campus wide electrical meter data and energy analysis tools available through New York - Energy Manager (NYEM), the CEM program demonstrated a 10% reduction in energy costs during its first year (2017).
