Action Agenda A. Policies 1. Proposed Language Change to Board Policy 5.7 – Repeating a Course

Board Policy 5.7 was submitted in November for a first reading and is now presented for approval. The proposed change would adjust wording to reflect the practice of using only the highest grade earned, for repeated classes, in calculating a student’s GPA. It would remove a statement on the student’s transcript that indicates “the notation of RP will replace the lowest grade for a repeated class”, and eliminate the student’s responsibility of requesting the lower grade be replaced with the higher grade. With this change, a student’s grade change will become an automatic process. MOTION NO. 12-16-15-4: Mr. Shackelford moved to approve the language change to Board Policy 5.7 – Repeating a Course. Mr. Reichert seconded. 8

AGENDA ITEM II.A

Those members voting aye were Mr. Wesley, Mr. Fulgenzi, Mr. Shackelford, Mr. Gray, Ms. Baker (advisory), Mr. Reichert, Mr. Rosenthal, and Mr. Findley. PASSED 2. Elimination of Board Policy 5.21 – Special Program Admission Elimination of Board Policy 5.21 – Special Program Admission is submitted for a first reading. The need for this Board Policy no longer exists because Board Policy 5.23 – Selective Admission, provides policy and procedure for the intent of academic programs that have special admission requirements and materials, which include health care programs. These two policies actually duplicate policy/procedure and elimination of Board Policy 5.21 would remove any confusion regarding admission to academic programs. This policy will be presented in January 2016 for approval B. Academic Services Division Items - None C. Student Services Division Items – None D. Administrative Services Division Items 1. Establishment of 2015 Tax Levy Mr. McDonald, Vice President of Administrative Services, provided a brief review of the November Board discussion regarding options for establishing the 2015 Tax Levy. These multiple options were discussed because of the potential implementation of statewide tax cap legislation and its financial effect on the College. The two options for establishing the 2015 Tax Levy presented this evening for Board consideration are summarized below: Option A  Presents a 2015 Tax Levy prepared consistent with past practice of the College.  Levy taxes in an amount to approximate the tax rate resulting from the previous year’s levy, $0.4733.  If tax caps are implemented in their current form, the College is projected to be unable to collect a total of approximately $1,000,000 in property tax revenues in 2016 and 2017 combined as a result (assuming an EAV growth rate of 2% per year in those years). LLCC’s 2014 extension, exclusive of debt service was $25,520,935. The levy recommended to you in this option, exclusive of debt service, is $26,786,900, which is an increase of 4.96% over the previous year’s extension. Option B  Presents a 2015 Tax Levy prepared with a $311,697 increase in the amount requested for the Liability, Protection, and Settlement Fund over Option A. This 9

AGENDA ITEM II.A

  

represents an effort to offset in advance a portion of the property tax revenue that will be lost should tax cap legislation be passed including a 0% growth factor for the 2016 and 2017 levies. Levy taxes in an amount that will result in a projected tax rate of $0.4778, a slight increase of $0.0045 over the previous year’s tax rate. Due to the slight increase in the College’s projected tax rate, the total annual property tax bill for the owner of a home priced at the median in Sangamon County would increase approximately $1.77 more than Option A. If tax caps are implemented in their current form, the college would be unable to collect a total of approximately $755,000 in property tax revenues in 2016 and 2017 combined as a result (assuming an EAV growth rate of 2% per year in those years), a reduction in lost revenue of $245,000 compared to Option A.

LLCC’s 2014 extension, exclusive of debt service was $25,520,935. The levy recommended to you in this option, exclusive of debt service, is $26,793,126, which is an increase of 4.98% over the previous year’s extension. Mr. McDonald explained the State of Illinois “Truth in Taxation” statute requires taxing bodies to publish a “Public Notice of Proposed Tax Increase” if the “aggregate levy” exceeds the prior year extension by 105%, excluding election and debt costs. Option A represents an increase of 4.96% over the previous year’s final extension and Option B represents an increase of 4.98% over the previous year’s extension, therefore regardless of the option chosen, no Public Notice is required. After thorough discussion and review the Board choose to approve Option B, with the following motion:

MOTION NO. 12-16-15-5: Mr. Reichert moved to approve the establishment of a 2015 Tax Levy of $16,631,767 for educational purposes; $4,311,940 for operations and maintenance purposes; $3,895,000 for liability, protection and settlement purposes; $505,000 for social security and Medicare insurance purposes; $70,000 for audit purposes; $1,379,419 for protection, health and safety purposes; and $2,639,150 for Bond and Interest purposes; for a total of $29,432,276. Mr. Findley seconded. Those members voting aye were Mr. Wesley, Mr. Fulgenzi, Mr. Shackelford, Ms. Baker (advisory), Mr. Reichert, Mr. Rosenthal, and Mr. Findley. Mr. Gray voted no. PASSED 2. Restructure of Outstanding Bonds Mr. McDonald explained with the potential for implementation of tax cap legislation statewide looming, it may be advantageous for the College to refinance and restructure a portion of its existing outstanding bond debt. The tax cap legislation, in its current 10

AGENDA ITEM II.A

format, will negatively impact the College’s ability to issue additional debt until the existing debt is retired in 2029 due to the structure of the existing debt. In addition to preserving the ability to issue bonds, should the need arise, between now and 2029, the refinance and restructure of a portion of the existing debt will also reduce the total interest expense paid by the College over the life of the debt. The College’s bond advisor has reviewed a number of debt refinancing options and the two most advantageous options are presented below. Both options involve the refinancing of approximately $10.0M of existing debt, increasing the debt levies for 2015 and 2016, and smoothing debt payments for years 2019 – 2029 as compared to the increasing debt payments that exist now. The best interest rates can be achieved when the debt issuance is $10.0M or less. The current portion of College’s 2014 tax rate that is applicable to debt service is $0.0434 (out of the total $0.4733). Option 1 This option results in an increase in the tax rate for debt service for 2015 and 2016. Beginning with 2017, the estimated tax rate will return to the 2014 level and remain flat through the remaining life of the bonds (2029). The ability to issue additional debt in the future, should the need arise, is greatest under this option as is the interest expense savings.  The dollar amount levied for debt service would result in a debt service tax rate of approximately $.0631, an increase of $.0197, for the 2015 levy and a debt service tax rate of approximately $.0620 for the 2016 levy.  The dollar amounts levied for debt service in future years (2017 and beyond) would be level and result in a debt service tax rate of approximately $.0438 or less, which is nearly identical to the debt service rate of $.0434 for 2014.  Interest expense saved over the remaining 13 year life of the debt is approximately $2.538M.  If tax caps are not implemented, the College still receives the benefit of interest expense savings over the life of the bonds. Option 2 This option results in an increase in the tax rate for debt service for 2015 and 2016. Beginning with 2017, the estimated tax rate will reduce slightly but remain above the 2014 level and fluctuate slightly through the remaining life of the bonds (2029). The ability to issue additional debt in the future, should the need arise, and interest expense savings are present, however, at lower amounts than Option 1.  

The dollar amount levied for debt service would result in a debt service tax rate of approximately $.0542, an increase of $.0108, for the 2015 levy and a debt service tax rate of approximately $.0529 for the 2016 levy. The dollar amounts levied for debt service in future years (2017 and beyond) would fluctuate and result in a debt service tax rate of approximately $.0445 to $.0469, which is higher than the debt service rate of $.0434 for 2014. 11

AGENDA ITEM II.A

 

Interest expense saved over the remaining 13 year life of the debt is approximately $2.363M. If tax caps are not implemented, the College still receives the benefit of interest expense savings over the life of the bonds.

Option 3 This option is not to refinance any of the existing debt at this time. Due to the increasing debt service payment structure of the current bonds, the College would be unable to issue any tax supported bond debt until the current bonds are paid off in 2029. After thorough discussion and review the Board choose to approve Option 1, with the following motion:

MOTION NO. 12-16-15-6: Mr. Reichert moved to direct the President to work with Speer Financial to issue $10.0M of debt for the purposes of refinancing and restructuring a portion of the College’s Series 2008A bond debt in accordance with the estimates presented in Option 1. Mr. Findley seconded. Those members voting aye were Mr. Wesley, Mr. Fulgenzi, Mr. Shackelford, Ms. Baker (advisory), Mr. Reichert, Mr. Rosenthal, and Mr. Findley. Mr. Gray voted no. PASSED Chairman Findley thanked the College administration and staff for their extraordinary effort in providing the Board with this complex information, during these very trying financial times. Vice Chairman Wesley commented that every community college in the state is dealing with these same financial issues, with many increasing tuition, cutting programs, faculty and staff. Mr. Wesley stated he feels the LLCC Board is taking appropriate action with LLCC’s approved tax levy smaller than other community college’s published tax increases, while preserving College programs.

I.

Roll Call

Naming of New Aviation Classroom Building

The current LLCC Aviation Program began in 2000, and has continuously struggled with inadequate space, which allowed no room or possibility for expansion. Over the past six years, Dr. Warren and the Board of Trustees have worked tirelessly attempting to seek funding for new building space. Dr. Warren stated the Foundation recently received an $850,000 donation from Levi, Ray and Shoup, Inc. (LRS) to fund building a new classroom facility for the LLCC aviation program. LLCC Board Policy 9.8 requires Board of Trustees approval for the naming of all College facilities and other naming opportunities in accordance with established procedures. As the donor, LRS meets the policy guidelines to have their name placed on this new building and the administration requests Board approval to name the new aviation classroom building the Levi, Ray & Shoup, Inc. Aviation Center at Lincoln Land Community College. Dr. Warren explained because the building will be located on the grounds of the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, the building and land will be owned by the Springfield Airport Authority. The lease for the new building and existing hangar will be presented for approval at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the LLCC Board of Trustees.

MOTION NO. 1-6-16-1: Mr. Gray moved to approve naming a new aviation classroom building the Levi, Ray & Shoup, Inc. Aviation Center at Lincoln Land Community College. Mr. Shackelford seconded.

Elimination of Board Policy 5.21 – Special Program Admission

DATE:

January 27, 2016

Board Policy 5.21 (Special Program Admission) was created in 2006 and was last reviewed in 2009. The purpose of the policy and procedure was to establish a process for admission to programs that require additional application materials. Over the years, Board Policy 5.21 (Special Program Admission) and Board Policy 5.23 (Selective Admission) have become intertwined. This creates confusion regarding which policy/procedure to reference and follow. Because of the duplication and subsequent confusion, it is recommended to eliminate Board Policy 5.21 (Special Program Admission) and rely on Board Policy 5.23 (Selective Admission) to provide the policy and procedure for the intent of academic programs that have special admission requirements and materials. Elimination of Board Policy 5.21 was submitted in December for a first reading and is submitted for board approval this evening
