RATIONALE FOR ITEM:

The Second Step in the 2004-2005 Budget Development Process

STRATEGIC GOAL:

Goals 1-6

AUTHORIZATION(S):

SUMMARY:

The second step in the 2004-2005 budget development process calls for the Board to:

·        establish initiative outcomes and evaluation criteria and review the existing three-year initiatives (April 2003);

·        evaluate the 2004-2005 initiatives proposed by the program offices using the established criteria in the Regents Standing Committees (June 2003);

·        discuss the proposed 2004-2005 budget initiatives with the full Board of Regents (July 2003); and

·        act on the “Bluebook” 2004-2005 Budget Proposal (September 2003).

As you know, the 2004-2005 budget development process was delayed so that the outcome of this year’s budget actions would be available to guide our recommendations for next year.  Consequently, the Deputy Commissioners’ proposed 2004-2005 initiatives will not be completed until just before the June Board meeting.

Shortly before the June meeting we will provide summaries of each Deputy Commissioner’s proposed 2004-2005 initiatives for your review.  You will then have an opportunity to discuss and provide input on the proposed initiatives at the respective Regents Standing Committees.

 

If you have any questions, please call.
