Two guest speakers from the District, Peter Fitsimmons and Bernata Slater attended the meeting. District Budget Officer Fitzsimmons shared the economic forecast by School Services of California. Bernata Slater, Chief Financial Officer, presented the SMCCCD 2021-22 Preliminary Budget. Both the State and the District budget revenues are projected to be higher than what were forecasted previously. Presentation materials can be found here.
Tri-chair Eloisa Briones, Vice President of Administrative Services, presented an update on the College Fund 1 budget. Given the updated forecast, there may be funds available for the committee to recommend allocations. VP Briones will bring scenarios for the Committee to review at the next meeting.
Due to time constraints, the Committee will review SPARC structure and role of SPARC at a future meeting. Tri-chair Ingrid Vargas, Dean of Planning, Research, Innovation and Effectiveness, led the discussion on the Spring calendar topics for SPARC.
