Dear Ms. aclcmon:
The FY 2008-09 Budget Request for Durham Technical Community College is attached for your review.
This budget request, which was approved by our Board of Trustees last week, totals $581,694 which is a
7.17% increase over our annualized appropriation for the current fiscal year. We are .requesting an
increase of $42,457 in current expenses over otir annualize appropriation of $502,694 and a decrease of
$3,550 in capital outlay over our annualize appropriation of $40,000.
As we discussed earlier this month, almost half of ot~r current expense request is in the area of salaries and
benefits. The specific items included in that category include atwenty-four-hour per day, seven-day per
week campus security presence, afull-time campus receptionist, and funds to pay for a portion of the
salaries of facilities services personnel, (such as maintenance technicians, our shipping and receiving
coordinator, and supervisors responsible for housekeeping and Landscaping contracts). Based on guidance
from the North Carolina Community College System Office, we have calculated a 4% increase for otir
frill-time and continuing part-time employees in these areas. The portions of the overall salary we are
asking Orange County to fund range from $2,000 to $8,000, depending ttpon the position and the amount
of time and attention the employees will devote to supporting Orange County Campos operations.
In past years about one-fifth of the students who enroll in classes at Durham Tech reside in Orange
County. With the opening of our Orange County Campus we are convinced that percentage will increase.
I thank you again for .the support we have received from you and the Orange County Board of
Commissioners, and we look forward to meeting with you to discuss our FY 2008-09 Budget Request.
Very truly yours,
~`"'~~~

TO: Laura Blackmon
Orange County Manager
FROM: ~ Neil Pedersen
Superintendent
RE: 2008-09 Operating Budget Request
Date: June 10, 2008
We look forward to further discussion on our budget request at the County
Commissioners' work session on Thursday, June 12~'. As you know, even though your
recommendation was to provide approximately $1.5 million less than the Chapel Hill
Carrboro City Schools' request, I have publicly taken the position that this is our fair
share of the reductions that must be made in the budget requests that have been
submitted. We believe that largely due to a grant that has recently been increased and
renewed for immigrant education, we can cope with such a reduction without too much
pain. A reduction of more than $1.5 million would most likely jeopardize current
positions and/or services.
I do want to bring to your attention that we have growing concerns about some
inflationary costs. We all know what has happened to the cost of fuel and food in the
past few months. OWASA is having a public hearing on June 12~' as well at which a
25% increase in water and sewer rates will be considered. Progress Energy has proposed
a 16% increase in electricity rates. This month we reimbursed the Orange County
Schools approximately $81,000 for overruns in their fuel allocation attributable to our
school buses. We can expect this figure to be even higher next year, and there are no
funds in our budget request to cover this.
Although we did increase our budget for water/sewer by 25%, we only increased
the other utilities by 7%. We increased our subsidy to Child Nutrition Services by only
the amount that we project to run short this year. Even though we will raise lunch prices
by another 10 cents next year, it is quite likely that we will run in the red even more than
this year. We did not budget for higher gasoline prices, largely because the home-to-
school transportation operation falls under the Orange County Schools. Clearly, we will
receive a similar or larger request for reimbursement next year. Although we do not
expect the County to provide more funding than what we requested in light of these
recent developments, we would want the County Commissioners to recognize that
shortfalls in these areas are virtually certain and will have to be defrayed by making
reductions elsewhere in our budget.
Finally, we received a request from your office inquiring about the savings
associated with 3% salary increases for teachers instead of the 5% for which we
budgeted. Although savings would be approximately $400,000, I believe that it would
not be prudent to count on the General Assembly approving salary increases at this level.
The Governor proposed 7%. The Senate leadership's reaction to the House budget was
that the proposed increases for teachers were unacceptably low in light of the Governor's
goal to provide salaries at the national average. We believe that our original projections
of 5% increases for teachers and 4% for others will be close to what the General
Assembly finally approves in this election year. In fact, these projections maybe low.
We ask that you not base our appropriation to us on what is likely to be a "low ball"
figure.
In summary, I would urge that the Commissioners accept your recommended
appropriation for the two school systems and for the increase in the special district tax
rate that is needed to open Morris Grove Elementary and add a senior class to Carrboro
High School. We will find a way to cope with the immediate $1.5 million reduction in
our request and will anticipate having to take further cost-cutting measures to absorb
increases in utility, fuel, and food costs.
