The Lee College Planning Committee
Recommendations Regarding New Spending: 2005-06
25 April 2005
Introduction The Planning Committee began the process of developing these
recommendations in January, 2005 when it met to review the process and procedures
used in past years and to establish a calendar for the committee’s actions this year. The
process adopted by the committee included the following steps.
• January 24. The committee issued a call for Proposals for New Spending. The
call included instructions, a format for the proposals, and a calendar regarding
committee meetings and deadlines. Note that the members of the Planning
Committee, their college affiliation, and their terms are included in Table 5.
• March 15. The committee began receiving proposals from deans and other
administrators who report to the president.
• March 29 and April 5. The committee conducted hearings. The faculty and staff
members who had submitted proposals were invited and given the opportunity to
explain their proposals and answer questions. The meetings were open to all
Lee College employees.
• April 5. The committee toured the campus to see the equipment, furniture and
physical facilities that were addressed by proposals.
• April 12. The committee agreed on the ranking of the proposals vis a vis the
goals they addressed.
• April 19. The committee agreed on the overall ranking of the proposals and
tentatively agreed on the contents of its report to the president.
• April 25. The committee gave final approval to the overall ranking of the
proposals and to this report.
The Overall Rankings of the Proposals The committee’s overall ranking of the
proposals is presented in Table 1. Tables 2 and 3 include the same data as Table 1;
however, they present the proposals that call for additional personnel and furniture
separately. Note that the “Name/File Reference” column in the tables refers to the MS
Word files that contain the full text of the proposals.
Notes Regarding the Proposals The committee elected to attach notes to some of the
proposals. Some of these notes are in response to a request from the president that
proposals regarding personnel and furniture be ranked separately; others include
committee recommendations that address specific proposals. The notes’ meanings are
outlined below.
Note Meaning
1. The committee attached this note to all of the proposals that addresses the need
for additional personnel or the need to upgrade existing personnel positions. The
committee did so in response to the president’s request that these proposals be
presented separately. These proposals are “noted” in Table 1 and are presented
separately in Table 2.
The committee relied in part on data from Table 4 when ranking the proposals
regarding personnel. Table 4 shows for example, that while overall student
enrollment growth has been modest over the past five years, there has been
significant growth in the some areas, particularly in the numbers of students
attempting biology, physics, and the number of students who apply for financial
aid.
2. This note is used to designate the proposals that address the need for classroom
and/or lab furniture. These proposals are listed separately in Table 3 as per the
president’s request.
3. The committee asked the SACS coordinator to review the list of proposals and
identify those that have some bearing on the college’s Quality Enhancement
Plan. Two proposals were identified; ACAD-11, Developmental Reading
Instructor and SS-3, IR Assistant. The former proposal calls for a new faculty
position, the latter calls for an existing staff position to be upgraded from half-time
to full-time.
4. One proposal, ASCE-1, addressed the need to provide funds for the replacement
of the bulbs used in “media classroom” projectors. These bulbs cost about $500
each.
The committee recommends that the cost of replacing these bulbs and the other
electronic equipment used in media classrooms not be charged to the budgets of
the instructional departments. Instead, the committee recommends that the
college establish a special supply center for these classrooms and maintain an
inventory of bulbs and other electronic items that are used in the classrooms.
Doing so will allow the replacement parts to be purchased in bulk and will ensure
that spares are on hand when equipment fails. The latter will serve students by
helping minimize “down-time” due to equipment failures.
5. One proposal, ACAD-6, calls for the creation of eleven new media classrooms.
The committee recommends that this proposal be broken down into categorical
requests ranked by priority so that the college can fund some, if not all of the
eleven that were requested.
6. Three proposals, ADMN-1, ADMN-7, and ASCE-9 call for infrastructure repairs or
upgrades. The estimated cost of implementing these proposals will be $100,000
or more for each. The committee recommends that these items be funded with
reserves or revenue bonds.
Proposals Regarding Safety and Proposals that Address Conditions that Threaten to
Undermine the Operation of the College In past semesters the committee has reviewed
the proposals it received to see if any meet either of these criteria. The committee did
so again this semester but determined that none of the proposals met either criterion.
The Technical Advisory Committee’s Recommendations These recommendations are
presented in a separate document that is appended to this report.

Thanks to you we were able to accomplish a lot of work in such as short period of time! The final rankings and
recommendations are attached. The next meeting for committee members will be held in June to formalize
recommendations for the upcoming academic year.
Recommendations
• The TAC recommends that any funds left over from bulk purchases be allocated to fund more lab upgrades.
• Library will utilize web appliances since library patrons/students only use the computers for Internet research and
the Library web site.
• The Office of Information Technology will submit proposal requests to TAC for computer lab upgrades
accompanied by appropriate documentation (warranty, helpdesk logs, system requirements, matrix, etc.).
• OIT will continue maintaining the annual inventory on the Computer Lab Matrix.
• Divisions submit proposals for additional computer labs, changes to programs that require new software/hardware
or computer-related peripherals (printers, projectors, multimedia equipment, program specific equipment, etc.).
• Purchase extended 5 year warranty from selected vendor.
