NCTC regents approve raises for full-time employees
From staff reports
Regents of the North Central Texas Community College (NCTC) District unanimously approved a general pay increase for all full-time employees during Monday's regular board meeting.
The pay increase will be calculated at three percent of the mid-point for each pay group. The increase in salaries will cost the college $395,000 next year and has been included in the proposed 2012-13 operating budget.
NCTC employees have not received a percentage raise since 2009-10, although $1,000 was given mid-year across the board in 2010-11 to help offset increased employee insurance expenses.
Also on Monday night, regents approved the 2012-13 salary schedules that reflect a 1.5 percent change from the current pay grade schedules. They also authorized NCTC president Dr. Eddie Hadlock to employ contract personnel that need to be hired prior to the next scheduled board meeting, which will not take place until Aug. 20.
Regents approved the 2012-13 catalog and voted to move forward with plans to execute a lease-purchase contract for property at 1200 Parker Square in Flower Mound. The college currently rents that building, which houses the NCTC Flower Mound campus.
Before Monday's meeting, a budget workshop was held. Hadlock reported that the proposed 2012-13 budget is up 4.2 percent from the current year budget, which experienced a 4.3 percent reduction from the 2010-2011 budget. College staff presented a balanced budget that does not include a tax rate increase.
Total revenue budgeted for 2012-13 is $46,887,300, up 4.2 percent from the budgeted 2011-12 revenue. The largest portion (40.12 percent) of that revenue ($18,811,492) will come from tuition and fees, while 26.33 percent will come from federal funds and 25.28 percent will come from state funds. Only 4.48 percent or $2,100,000 comes from local taxes in Cooke County, while another $357,300 will come from a maintenance tax in Graham. Ad valorem taxes collected from the Graham ISD maintenance tax are spent only on the Graham campus.
The expenditure side of the budget was developed using a zero-based, full-justification approach. Instructional costs (academic, technical, instructional administration, library and special items) comprise slightly more than one-third of the total expenses.
Additional employee positions are included in the budget to assist with the ever-changing workload due to the growth of the student population, but several of these positions represent no new dollars, as they are funded from savings generated by not refilling positions in their same format or area. Second, a raise of three percent for all full-time employees is captured in a lump sum of $395,000.
Proposed additional positions in the budget include an English faculty member (funded from retirement), a history faculty member (funded from retirement), a student life assistant in Corinth (part-time to full-time using current fitness center salary funds), a media specialist for Denton County (funded from retirement), a foundation/alumni outreach coordinator (funded by the foundation), a history faculty member on the Bowie/Graham campuses, a psychology faculty member, a health science simulation faculty member and a counselor on the Graham campus (part-time to full-time).
In his president's update, Hadlock reported that enrollment is up 3.8 percent so far for summer classes. Registration is still underway for the Summer II session.
