  1. ETS Budget Report Willie Pritchard March 8, 2002

  2. Budget History • Three separate technology support groups • Many different accounts • No way of knowing how much was being spent on technology • No clear way to plan budgets logically • Collegis may not have initially understood our budget system or the budget available

  3. Budget History • Several dynamics at work • Exploding use of technology • No consolidated budget until FY00-01 • We have several types of costs • Mandated costs • Equipment obsolescence/failure • Continually increasing demand • Historically under-resourced, so problems postponed • Costs passed on without revenue • Structural problems • Costs from termination of Collegis contract • Previous commitments

  4. Budget Issues • Commonly Held Beliefs • More staff will solve our problems • More resources will solve our problems • External management will solve our problems • Internal management will solve our problems • Supplementing technology budget with $500,000/year will solve all our problems • ETS has lots of money; certainly more than they need • More, more, more!

  5. Budget Issues • Commonly Held Beliefs are Really Myths • More staff will solve our problems • More resources will solve our problems • External management will solve our problems • Internal management will solve our problems • Supplementing technology budget with $500,000/year will solve all our problems • ETS has lots of money; certainly more than they need • More, more, more!

  6. Annual Budget for ETS • Actual costs have always been higher than the annual starting budget (pre-dates ETS) • FY2000-01 was first that we could begin to get a district technology expense total • Yet it is probably low • State Tech II Total Cost of Ownership effort helped us understand total costs • But even this is not complete picture

  7. ETS FY00-01 Budget • Ongoing “A” budget • Salaries & benefits -- approx. $6M • Other “utility” budget items -- approx. $1.1M • Maintenance agreements, software licenses, etc. • Operating “B” budget • Approximately $1.5M budgeted in FY00-01 • $2.6M in the revised FY00-01 budget (float) • $2.2M expended, for a EOY positive balance of approximately $414K

  8. Other Technology Costs • Campus computer expenses* (over $1.6M/year) • Yearly computer replacements • $1M at De Anza • $600K at Foothill • Unknown amount spent by divisions & departments on peripherals, software, supplies, etc. • Special projects (another $2.4M one time) • New Phone Switch – $1.5M • New Admin server upgrade – $600+K • New Registration system – $300+K *Using Instructional Equipment funds from the state until FY01-02

  9. Total FY00-01 District-wide Technology Expenditures(Approximate) • Over $13,000,000 spent on technology-related expenditures • $1.5M is starting ETS B budget • Or put another way, <6% of our total budget* is spent on technology throughout the district • ETS B budget total < 0.67%of total district budget* • Does not include • Variety of tech specific grants – about $1,500,000 • FY00-01 Collegis costs ($318K) *Total District Annual Budget of $223 million

  10. FY01-02 ETS Budget • Holding steady, if not losing some ground • “A” budget – still approx. $7.1M • “B” budget – still starting at $1.5M • Plus $374K of float to date (1/31/02), estimated $116K more float to end of year, for a total of $490K • Plus carryover of $414K • Special Projects • New registration system (TouchNet) – $300K • Total amount budgeted this year is identical to last year • but we’ll have less float because we’ve filled positions

  11. ETS budget by year Institutional Research Budget not included

  12. Summary • We now have a better idea of what is being spent on technology • We now have a better idea of what it takes to support technology • ETS starting annual budget isn’t enough; but its actual budget not far off • we need float to continue providing service at current levels • Users want more, expect more, demand more

  13. Future budgetary issues • How to provide service, support, & equipment in a continually expanding environment • How to budget for equipment and support in new Measure E buildings • How to help the FHDA community understand these complex issues • How to budget for a new information system • estimated at $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 over five years

  14. Interesting Note • For previous three years*, ETS received $500K per year, for a total of $1.5M • ETS starting B budget is $1.5M • Without that supplement ETS would have no B budget *FY98-99, FY00-00, FY00-01
