  • Board of Regents Briefing Paper
    BOARD OF REGENTS BRIEFING PAPER 1. AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2021-23 Biennial Operating Budget / 2021 Deferred Maintenance Projects MEETING DATE: May 8, 2020 2. BACKGROUND & POLICY CONTEXT OF ISSUE: According to the Board of Regents Handbook, Title 4, Chapter 10, Section 26: Existing Facility and Infrastructure Needs Effective with the 2011 capital improvement budget cycle described in Subsection 5, every even-numbered year each institution must plan for existing facility and infrastructure needs by requesting funding for capital renewal, plant adaption, and deferred maintenance projects. The budgeted figure for these projects shall be two percent of the insured replacement value for owned facilities five or more years since construction or a major building renovation, excluding storage facilities and auxiliary enterprise buildings (e.g. resident halls and athletic facilities). In calculating the amount budgeted for existing facility and infrastructure, the state revenues request for Higher Education Capital Construction (HECC) and Special Higher Education Capital Construction (SHECC) are in addition to the two percent threshold, and may not be applied to the amount budgeted for this purpose. The Chancellor shall establish procedures to standardize the manner in which projects associated with improving existing facilities and infrastructure are identified and ranked. Historically, NSHE received $15 million each biennium for deferred maintenance from HECC and SHECC ($10 million from state funds and $5 million from the SHECC). While NSHE institutions have complied with Board policy, submitting “Two Percent” project lists for consideration by the Board of Regents and the State Public Works Division, none of the projects have been recommended by the State Public Works Board for inclusion in the Governor’s recommended budget.
