6. Report from the Chancellor
Chancellor Bill Vega announced that Toni Iseman has been appointed to the California Coastal Commission. He then asked C.M. Brahmbhatt, Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services, to present an update on the state budget.
C.M. Brahmbhatt provided an update relative to the State fiscal crisis and the specific impact to the Coast Community College District budget. Mr. Brahmbhatt informed that the state proposed cuts will occur in a two part process: mid-year cuts, which will come out of the budget immediately, and long-range cuts to deal with the ongoing shortfall, beginning in fiscal year 2003-2004. The mid-year base loss is estimated to be between $5.4 million and $9.3 million (worst case scenario), including a $1 million cut from Partnership for Excellence, and a $2.7 million cut from categorical programs. The Consultation Budget Work Group is trying to protect the base as much as possible and minimize the impact to instruction, by taking more money from scheduled maintenance and instructional equipment. For the rolling cuts, impacting the 2003-2004 budget, the Legislative Analyst Office (LAO) is also examining the state budget and will provide another opinion on the actual size of the problem. Mr. Brahmbhatt concluded by stating that the budget crisis will have a significant impact on all districts around the State.
Based on questions posed and the Board's interest in ensuring the District's ability to respond in a timely manner and the Board's request for time line information relative to District cuts, Mr. Brahmbhatt assured the Board that he will return with District proposals once more is known of the actual deficit and campuses have had the opportunity to formulate recommendations. He estimated the timing to be by mid February.

The Coast Community College District requested Total Compensation Systems, Inc. (TCS) to analyze liabilities associated with its current retiree health program as of June 1, 2002.
