Property taxes and tuition pay for about $500,000 in expense gap for various public service programs
Second District Representative Deb McCasland asked the Governing Board to reflect on expending $1.1 million dollars on public service projects, especially if the budget became “tight.” She also asked that in light of the mandate to the Board that spending money on public service projects be “reasonable” that in the future it consider whether such a large expenditure that must be subsidized is reasonable.
Vice President Clint Ewell explained that public service programs that are being subsidized include the Regional Economic Development project, the Performing Arts Center, and other external non-student related projects.
The Governing Board discussion regarding the subsidy for public service may be viewed below.
