Campbell Cantrill, KCTCS General Counsel, served as parliamentarian. There being a quorum present, the meeting began with the approval of minutes.

VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. ADDITIONS OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA ACTION: RATIFICATION OF PERSONNEL ACTIONS There were no additions or changes to the agenda. RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents ratify the personnel actions listed in the agenda materials. Chair Thomas called on KCTCS President Jay K. Box to present the item. KCTCS Vice President Wendell Followell assisted with the presentation. It was noted that the personnel actions presented were in accordance with reporting guidelines and policies adopted by the KCTCS Board of Regents. President Box asked the committee to review the revised agenda item distributed at the meeting (Attachment A). The Personnel Actions list was revised to include the appointment of two new college presidents: Dr. Devin Stephenson appointed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Big Sandy Community and Technical College, effective June 1, 2015, and Dr. Scott Williams appointed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Owensboro Community and Technical College, effective June 1, 2015. The 123

DRAFT Administrative Appointments and Promotions with Tenure names were revised to include Maysville Community and Technical College and Somerset Community College. Chair Thomas called for a motion. MOTION: Ms. Flynn moved and Mr. Cooper seconded that the Finance, Technology, and Human Resources Committee recommend that the KCTCS Board of Regents ratify the revised personnel actions as presented at the meeting. VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. ACTION: 2015-16 KCTCS SALARY SCHEDULE RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents approve the 2015-16 KCTCS Salary Schedule (Attachment B), which includes salary ranges for regular full-time faculty and staff. Funding for the salary schedule must be approved by the KCTCS Board of Regents within the KCTCS annual budget. Chair Thomas called on President Box to present the item. Vice President Followell assisted with the presentation. The proposed 2015-16 KCTCS Salary Schedule has been designed in consideration of benchmark pricing, internal equity, and academic rank. The KCTCS Board of Regents last revised the KCTCS Salary Schedule in June 2012. The salary schedule reflects monthly salaries to accommodate the period of assignment in months for regular full-time faculty and staff. Faculty assignments range from 10 to 12 months. Staff assignments range from 9 to 12 months. It was noted that KCTCS is in the process of conducting a systemwide compensation and classification study. The results and recommendations will be shared with the Board when the study is completed in fiscal year 2016. Chair Thomas called for a motion. MOTION: Mr. Cooper moved and Mr. Peeples seconded that the Finance, Technology, and Human Resources Committee recommend that the KCTCS Board of Regents approve the 2015-16 KCTCS Salary Schedule (Attachment B), which includes salary ranges for regular full-time faculty and staff. Funding for the salary schedule must be approved by the KCTCS Board of Regents within the KCTCS annual budget. VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. ACTION: 2015-16 KCTCS SALARY INCREASE RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents approve a 1.0 percent or $1,000 (whichever is greater) recurring salary increase in 2015-16 for each regular full-time KCTCS faculty and staff employed 124

before April 1, 2015, and who earns at least the Fully Met Job Requirements (M) rating in the 2014-15 KCTCS performance evaluation system. DRAFT Chair Thomas called on President Box to present the item. Vice President Followell assisted with the presentation. The recurring salary increase will be funded using recurring funding available to KCTCS in 2015-16. The KCTCS President s Leadership Team supports the increase. The salary increase will be provided to only those employees who earn at least the Fully Met Job Requirements (M) rating in the 2014-15 KCTCS performance evaluation system. The 2015-16 proposed balanced budget for each KCTCS college, the systemwide operations and support programs, the Fire Commission, and the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services (KBEMS) have been developed anticipating funding this increase. KCTCS faculty and staff need to be fully committed to the future of KCTCS. This recurring salary increase is an indication of the KCTCS commitment to its faculty and staff and recognition of their commitment. For KCTCS employees at or below $100,000, the $1,000 recurring increase will have a greater economic impact, and it will help move them closer to the market level within their salary band. Chair Thomas called for questions and discussion. During the discussion, it was noted that the committee would like to provide a greater salary increase, but given the current constraints, a 1.0 percent or $1,000 recurring increase is all that can be accommodated in the 2015-16 budget proposal. The committee expressed its appreciation for the hard work from the KCTCS faculty and staff. Chair Thomas called for a motion. MOTION: Ms. Flynn moved and Mr. Peeples seconded that the Finance, Technology, and Human Resources Committee recommend that the KCTCS Board of Regents approve a 1.0 percent or $1,000 (whichever is greater) recurring salary increase in 2015-16 for each regular full-time KCTCS faculty and staff employed before April 1, 2015, and who earns at least the Fully Met Job Requirements (M) rating in the 2014-15 KCTCS performance evaluation system. VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. 125

DRAFT ACTION: 2015-16 KCTCS ANNUAL BUDGET RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents adopt the 2015-16 budget resolution (Attachment C) regarding the 2015-16 Annual Budget for the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. This budget and its provisions will be effective July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016. Chair Thomas called on President Box to present the item. Vice President Followell assisted with the presentation. The annual budget directs the use of financial resources available to KCTCS to help achieve the mission and vision of KCTCS. This budget places emphasis and the highest priority on students and the effective and efficient use of available resources. The 2015-16 KCTCS budget will fund a salary increase in 2015-16 for faculty and staff. It will fund fixed cost increases in current employee benefits programs and fund the cost of faculty promotions. It will fund fixed cost increases in utilities and facility insurance and will maintain a nonrecurring budget reserve for each college, the systemwide operations and support programs, the Fire Commission, and the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services (KBEMS). The KCTCS President s Leadership Team supports this recommended budget. The proposed resolution (Attachment C) provides for adequate fiscal control and oversight by the KCTCS Board of Regents consistent with common practice within postsecondary education institutions. At the same time, the resolution provides a reasonable amount of discretion to the KCTCS President and establishes limits and thresholds that the President cannot exceed without the expressed consent of the Board. The proposed budget and its provisions will be effective for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015, and ending June 30, 2016. The operating budget authorizations approved by the Board total $888,114,300 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016. Of this amount, $554,528,700 are unrestricted current funds; and $333,585,600 are restricted funds from sources such as federal, state, private gifts, grants, contracts, or appropriations. In addition, the Board approved capital budget authorizations totaling $310,524,000 from agency funds and state funds, contingent upon receipt and availability of those funds for KCTCS for the fiscal year. Chair Thomas called for a motion. MOTION: Ms. Roth moved and Mr. Peeples seconded that the Finance, Technology, and Human Resources Committee recommend that the KCTCS Board of Regents adopt the 2015-16 budget resolution (Attachment C) regarding the 2015-16 Annual Budget for the Kentucky 126

Community and Technical College System. This budget and its provisions will be effective July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016. VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. DRAFT UPDATE: KCTCS QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT Chair Thomas called on President Box to present the item. Vice President Followell assisted with the presentation. It was reported that information for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014-15, which ended March 31, 2015, was derived from the KCTCS Administrative Financial System. The Statement of Revenues and Expenditures reflects the actual program and operational expenditures compared to the fiscal year 2014-15 budget approved by the KCTCS Board of Regents on June 13, 2014. The Annual Budget Adoption Resolution (adopted by the Board of Regents at its June meeting annually) states, The KCTCS Quarterly Financial Report shall contain sections that reflect the KCTCS July 1 opening budget, amendments to the opening budget, and expenditures to date. (Attachment D), the Statement of Revenues and Expenditures, is designed to fulfill this requirement. Total revenues of $709 million reflect 77 percent of the budgeted revenue and appropriated funds. Current fund expenditures and budget reserve through the fiscal year total $650 million, 70 percent of the expenditures budgeted for the year. As of the end of the third quarter, KCTCS has received 92 percent of budgeted tuition revenue; and 84 percent of the total budgeted financial aid has been received and expended. A total of 100 percent of the nonrecurring budget reserve from prior year funds is in place. The Statement of Net Assets presented reflects the overall financial position of the System and includes assets, liabilities, and net assets as of March 31, 2015. The Statement of Net Position (Attachment E), although not specifically required in the Board s Annual Budget Adoption Resolution, has also been included in the Quarterly Financial Report to give the Board a periodic snapshot of the KCTCS financial position using the most common accounting-based schedule. UPDATE: FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY STATUS REPORT Chair Thomas called on President Box to present the item. Vice President Followell assisted with the presentation. The current report includes updates on KCTCS capital construction projects including the BuildSmart projects, property management, sustainability initiatives, energy management, and facilities utilization. The information on property management activities includes property acquisitions and leases, insurance settlements, asset audits, and surplus property disposition. 127

DRAFT UPDATE: RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT REPORT A summary of the Environmental Health and Safety Site Assessment was also included as part of this report. Each college was assessed and the report outlined the process and corrective actions to date. Chair Thomas called on President Box to present the item. Vice President Timothy Burcham assisted with the presentation. The report provides an update on the private giving and sponsored projects, grants, and contracts. Private gift income by donor purpose and source for the System and the donor source by college for each KCTCS college are presented in this report. The largest private gifts received during the reporting period are also featured in the report. Sponsored Projects, Grants, and Contract funds are stated by source and purpose for the System Office in total; and total awards to each KCTCS college are included in the report.

ACTION RATIFICATION OF Agenda Item J-1 PERSONNEL ACTIONS September 18, 2015 Recommendation That the KCTCS Board of Regents ratify the personnel actions listed in the agenda materials. Rationale The KCTCS President routinely administers personnel actions using the authority delegated to him by the Board of Regents, March 1998. The Board reviews and ratifies these actions at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Since personnel actions occur regularly throughout the year, those personnel actions are allowed to take place, subject to Board of Regents ratification at the next Board meeting. The format of this agenda item has been used for the past few years to provide the Board basic information for its action, without providing unnecessary detailed data. o Individual personnel actions (certain administrative appointments and retirements, faculty promotions with tenure, and deaths). o Summary personnel actions (academic appointments, administrative appointments, reappointments, leaves of absence, retirements, resignations, non-renewal of appointments, and faculty promotions without tenure). Background Kentucky Revised Statute 164.365 gives governing boards exclusive control of employment, tenure, and official relations of employees. 139

Capital Funds Request The biennial budget request for capital funding for the 2016-18 biennia is summarized in Attachment A and detailed in the supplemental document, 2016-18 Biennial Capital Budget Request. 2016-18 Capital Budget Request $708,927,000 143

Rationale The KCTCS President has worked with the CPE President and the university presidents to develop a biennial budget operating funds request approach that: Recognizes the economic situation facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky in the 2016-18 biennium. Recognizes the need for an additional general fund appropriation for each institution of postsecondary education. Provides opportunity for the institutions and the CPE to cooperatively seek additional funding. The KCTCS President has worked with the 16 KCTCS college presidents and the CPE President and staff to develop a biennial capital budget request that fully meets KCTCS s capital needs for the 2016-18 biennia. The proposed KCTCS 2016-18 biennial capital budget request is based on the KCTCS 2016-22 Six-Year Capital Plan [compiled from project information submitted by the 16 KCTCS college presidents through a Strategic Needs Analysis (SNA) submitted pursuant to statute to the Legislative Capital Planning Advisory Board.] The KCTCS 2016-18 capital budget request: The summary is ordered by project priority for the Bond/General Funds projects and in alphabetical order for the Other Funds projects. Encompasses new construction, maintenance, renovation and expansion of existing facilities, capital equipment, and information technology equipment. Recognizes the importance of maintaining the existing physical plant in a condition that enables the colleges to provide quality educational programs and services. Emphasizes new construction projects that expand instructional capacity and new construction projects that are continuations of initiatives begun in previous biennia. Consists of 60 projects, resulting in a KCTCS 2016-18 capital budget request of approximately $709 million. Background The KCTCS Board of Regents has an opportunity to present a biennial budget request to be considered by the Council on Postsecondary Education, the Governor, and the Kentucky General Assembly in developing the 2016-18 appropriations to institutions of postsecondary education. The recommended biennial operating and capital budget request was developed by the KCTCS President working with the CPE President, the university presidents, and the KCTCS President s Leadership Team. 144

ACTION KCTCS INTERIM PROJECT APPROVAL Agenda Item J-3 REQUEST: PIKEVILLE TECHNOLOGY CENTER September 18, 2015 Recommendation The KCTCS Board of Regents approve the construction of the Technology Center to be located on the Pikeville Campus of the Big Sandy Community and Technical College. Rationale KRS 45.760(7) requires that an unbudgeted capital construction project with a scope greater than $600,000 be approved by the KCTCS Board of Regents and submitted on to the Kentucky Council of Postsecondary Education for approval. The scope of the Pikeville Technology Center will be $4,500,000. This project will be funded with $3,278,000 of grant funds and $1,222,000 matching agency funds. Background KCTCS has applied for federal grant funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant, and the Economic Development Administration for the construction of a technology center. These federal grant funds combined with Big Sandy Community and Technical College funds comprise $4.5 million. KCTCS proposes to construct an approximate 15,000 square foot technology center with classroom space, lab space, and a high-bay training area to house a telecommunications training program. The facility will be located at Big Sandy Community and Technical College Pikeville Campus. The training curriculum presently being planned would lead to certifications in telecommunication installation and maintenance with options to continue into a degreed program of study. Training will also be available to upgrade existing employee skill sets. Big Sandy Community and Technical College will work with industry leaders to ensure that employer needs are met in the curriculum, as well as meeting the standards and certification requirements for the Electronics Technicians Association International. Course work will include, but is not limited to, basic electricity; cable splicing; fiber optics; copper; pole climbing; and customer service training. Industry demand for technicians experienced in telecommunications is expected to continue to increase, particularly in the region, as a major dark fiber construction project is underway serving eastern Kentucky and eventually the entire state. 149

UPDATE: Agenda Item J-6 SUPPLIER DIVERSITY REPORT September 18, 2015 KCTCS defines diverse suppliers as those businesses owned by ethnic minorities, women, veterans, or the physically challenged. Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 data (July through June) are reported in Attachment A. The data indicate for FY 2015 that KCTCS has spent $4.1 million (7.8 percent) of a total $52.2 million in impactable discretionary spend with diverse suppliers. In terms of business conducted, the percentage spent with diverse suppliers as compared to the total spend was slightly higher in FY2015 (13.0%) compared to FY 2014 (12.5%). However, due largely to reductions in the KCTCS operating budget, $1.4 million less was spent with diverse suppliers in FY2015 as compared to FY2014; a 1.4 percent decline. In terms of dollars spent with all suppliers, FY 2015 reflects an overall decline in impactable spend of $8.2 million, or a 13.5 percent decline ($60.4-$52.2 million). This decline in total spend is also reflective of continued tight budgetary constraints of flat state support and less tuition revenue per the decline in enrollment. KCTCS staff continue to work on diverse supplier matching with registering diverse suppliers through the KCTCS supplier diversity registration portal and analyzing supplier data to ensure the integrity and consistency of the data for reporting. Improvements continue to be employed with the KCTCS supplier diversity registration portal working internally with System Office Technology Solutions staff. On October 1, 2015, KCTCS will hold its third annual Supplier Diversity Fair. The event will be held at the Pritchard Community Center in Elizabethtown. The event is free for diverse suppliers and allows them to meet face-to-face with representatives from all 16 KCTCS colleges, as well as, decision-making personnel from the System Office. More than 300 guests and over 100 exhibitors are expected to attend this event. Buyers and officials from other organizations such as the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the University of Kentucky, Commerce-Lexington, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, are also expected to be in attendance to discuss business opportunities. The event includes not only the opportunity for diverse businesses to showcase their business, but also breakout sessions to assist diverse suppliers to grow their business, i.e., Business Opportunities with KCTCS. Conference calls, college visits, outreach programs, and other informational assistance to support the KCTCS Supplier Diversity Initiative continue. Staff continue to actively participate in events and trade shows, including local chambers of commerce and professional trade organizations such as: Commerce Lexington Spring Opportunity Exchange. Lexington Fayette Urban County Government s training session for small/minority suppliers. Kentucky Public Procurement Association Reverse Trade Show. Kentucky Procurement Technical Assistance Center Small Business Expo. Gov Pro Conference sponsored by the Kentucky Small Business Development Center. 157

Bluegrass Minority Business Expo. Background The Finance, Technology, and Human Resources Committee has asked to be updated periodically regarding the KCTCS Supplier Diversity Initiative. The most recent report was made at the March 13, 2015, Board of Regents meeting. 158

UPDATE: Agenda Item J-7 OFFICE OF AUDIT SERVICES September 18, 2015 The KCTCS Office of Audit Services provides this semi-annual report as a means to inform the Board of Regents of activities within the System and to seek input as to any activities which the Board wishes the Office to review. Background Audit Services conducts internal audits of KCTCS colleges and system-level departments, as well as, special reviews requested by KCTCS management. Audit Services also provides services, which include consulting with management, providing input during the development and implementation phases of financial policies and procedures, training and assisting employees with policies and procedures, and assisting the KCTCS external auditors by reducing the level of their scope of work through normal internal audit activities or other requested activities. Additionally, Audit Services ensures that KCTCS has formal written standards of internal controls and procedures designed to protect KCTCS assets from loss or misuse. STANDARD AUDIT REVIEWS: Madisonville Community College A review of Madisonville Community College was performed for the period September 2013- May 2015. Two formal recommendations for improvement were recommended and have been addressed by college management. Blackboard Student Services In conjunction with KCTCS vendor management, a review of Blackboard Student Services is currently underway and will evaluate recorded calls for accuracy and metric verification based on service level agreements. We will also review chats/tickets for quality, accuracy, and timeliness of response. Environmental Health and Safety Compliance Initial compliance reviews of environmental health and safety regulations were conducted by Facilities Support Services personnel at each of the colleges and deficiencies were observed and reported to the colleges for correction. Audit Services has performed follow-up reviews at four colleges, thus far, to verify that the reported deficiencies were addressed. We noted some deficiencies that still have not been corrected at each college and these findings have been communicated to both the college and Facilities Support Services personnel for corrective action. These reviews will be on-going and generally performed during the course of our normal college reviews. 161

AUDIT REVIEWS FROM CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP: Big Sandy Community and Technical College With the June, 2015, retirement of Dr. George Edwards and the appointment of Dr. G. Devin Stephenson as the new President of Big Sandy Community and Technical College, a review was performed to evaluate its internal controls and operations. Three recommendations for improvement were presented and appropriately addressed by management. Maysville Community and Technical College With the January, 2015, retirement of Dr. Ed Story and appointment of Dr. Stephen Vacik as President of Maysville Community and Technical College, a review was performed to evaluate its internal controls and operations. Ten recommendations for improvement were presented and appropriate corrective action has been taken by management. In addition, a recommendation was made to the KCTCS Human Resources Director to revise and provide system-wide guidelines regarding employee overload assignments. A revised overload policy has been drafted and is undergoing review and approval by KCTCS management. SPECIAL REVIEWS: Student Financial Aid Audit Services is currently working with Student Financial Aid (SFA) and Technology Solutions on an on-going basis to: Assist in development and testing of exception reports for SFA. Conduct parallel analysis of data validity of the exception reports (to review the same time period of testing and then compare the errors discovered with what the exception reports uncovered). Assist SFA in developing proper documentation protocol when exception reports (once in use) uncover errors and they are corrected during the course of normal business (what kind of documentation is needed to provide to an auditor to demonstrate an error was found and corrected prior to it being discovered during the audit). Assist SFA in working with external auditors to verify and document that the exception reports being created are considered valid internal controls; that documentation protocols (created in the above line) are valid; and that any errors discovered and corrected during a given aid year using the exception reports would not be considered a finding on a future audit. Redirect focus to other areas as risk assessment dictates. 162

Jefferson Community and Technical College Human Resources Follow-up KCTCS external auditors, Dean Dorton Allen Ford (DDAF), conducted a review of Human Resources/Payroll at Jefferson Community and Technical College in 2014 and issued recommendations in the areas of adjunct faculty hiring, full-time employee hiring, temporary employee wages, and employee overload assignment authorization. Audit Services performed a follow-up review this year to ascertain if the college had implemented the improvements and procedures recommended by DDAF. Significant progress has been made in formalizing procedures in these areas; however, six additional recommendations for improvements have been presented to the college for implementation. Review of Grants Associated with Terminated Employees Three System Office employees were terminated in 2015 as a result of violating human resources policies. Part of their responsibilities included oversight of four grants - two Perkins, one CPE, and one non-governmental. To ensure that grant requirements were fully complied with and no misuse of grant funds occurred, Audit Services reviewed all grant activity linked to the three individuals and found no improper transactions. ASSISTANCE TO THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR: Assistance is provided each year to our external auditors, DDAF, during the course of their audit of the KCTCS financial statements to reduce the scope of their field work and minimize audit fees paid by KCTCS. Also, in connection with the federally-required A-133 audit of grants and contracts awarded to Audit Services, compliance testing of grants and contracts selected by DDAF is also performed. RISK ASSESSMENT: To develop our annual audit plan, Audit Services conducts a risk assessment of all significant KCTCS units. Each unit is assigned a relative risk rating (on a scale of 1-5 with 1-low, 3- medium, and 5-high) for the following risk areas: Control Risk Quality and stability of internal control environment Operational Risk Complexity and diversity of operations Financial Risk Impact of errors, omissions, and losses Regulatory Risk Level of regulatory concerns Based upon this evaluation, the highest relative risk units within KCTCS for fiscal year 2015 are: 1. Student Financial Aid (3.0 medium risk) 2. Federal and State Grants and Contracts (2.8 medium risk) 3. Human Resources/Organizational Development (2.6 medium risk) No KCTCS units are deemed to have a high risk rating. 163

Agenda Item J-8 UPDATE: TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS REPORT September 18, 2015 Next Generation Kentucky Information Highway (KentuckyWired) High speed internet has become a utility and not a luxury in the eyes of globally competing businesses. If you do not have this basic utility, you are not competing on a level playing field. Kentucky is currently ranked 46th in the United States. Technology Solutions staff have been working closely with leaders in state government, higher education, and private investors on the planning of a 3,000 mile state wide fiber optic network in Kentucky. All KCTCS locations are considered community anchor institutions and will be connected to this network by fall 2018 if construction goes as planned. When the network is live, KCTCS institutions will have access to network speeds of 10-100 times greater than currently possible for the same price as current broadband access. Overall, the project is estimated to cost between $250 million to $350 million and will be supported by approximately $30 million in state bond and $15 to $20 million in federal grants. The remainder of the funding will come from private investment. Online Security Awareness According to a leading research firm, the Ponemon Institute, the number one leading cause of data security breaches in 2014 resulted from non-malicious employee error (39%). Recognizing this critical risk, Technology Solutions staff continue awareness efforts to inform students, faculty, and staff about operating securely online. These efforts have included a monthly newsletter, Security Sense; access to security training modules on a learning platform, Atomic Learning; and an entire section in the online Training and Learning Center dedicated to security. In addition to the initiatives above, Technology Solutions staff use a tool that scans laptops and servers for sensitive data such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, and passwords. The software then notifies the computer user so that they can delete this information from their laptops or store it in an encrypted area. Travel and Expense Module Implementation In June Technology Solutions and Business Services staff implemented the Travel and Expense module within PeopleSoft Financials system. This new module will allow for complete online entry and processing of travel and non-travel reimbursements. It includes workflow approvals, direct deposit of reimbursement, the ability to add backup documentation online, and automated employee validation incorporating changes from the Human Capital Management system. The new module also allows for easy viewing of the current status of a given request from initial submission all the way through to payment. Training and Learning Center Last summer, the System Office Technology Solutions department conducted a survey to determine technological needs across the system. The survey results indicated the need for training resources as one of the top priorities. In response to that need, Technology Solutions implemented a strategy to develop and expand the Training and Learning Center (TLC). The 165

TLC is a one stop source for all technology related training needs. It includes information, resources, guides, and tutorials for products such as PeopleSoft, Skype, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and others that systems staff and faculty use every day. The TLC will continually be evolving as content is added and new systems are implemented. Background Technology Solutions presents an update at each quarterly KCTCS Board of Regents meeting. The update at the March Board of Regents meeting is an annual report. 166

UPDATE: Agenda Item J-9 BUILDSMART STATUS REPORT September 18, 2015 At the September 2015 meeting, KCTCS President Jay K. Box will provide an update on the status of the 16 KCTCS BuildSmart projects. The attached report (Attachment A) entitled STATUS of BUILDSMART INITIATIVES provides information about the status of the funding for each project. Background The 2014 Regular Session of the General Assembly enacted House Bill 235 (the 2014-15 Biennial Budget Bill ) which provided for $194,000,000 of KCTCS Agency Fund Capital Projects referred to as the KCTCS BuildSmart Investment for Kentucky Competitiveness. The KCTCS BuildSmart initiative is a public-private partnership and investment initiative that will provide a total of $194 million in funding for the top capital project at each of the 16 KCTCS colleges. The benefits of the KCTCS BuildSmart Investment are significant for students, communities, and the Commonwealth. KCTCS students across Kentucky will benefit from having additional state-of-the art facilities that will further enhance their individual educational experiences and that of their fellow students. Local communities and the Commonwealth of Kentucky will benefit from the enhanced economic and workforce development that will result from these new and renovated facilities throughout the Commonwealth. Funding for the KCTCS BuildSmart initiative is to consist of $145,500,000 in authorized agency bonds and $48,500,000 from private and other funds raised by the KCTCS colleges. The agency bonds will be issued by the Kentucky State Property and Buildings Commission on behalf of KCTCS. Agency bond debt service is to be paid from revenue collected from a mandatory student fee of $4 per credit hour for all KCTCS students in 2014-15 and an $8 per credit hour mandatory student fee for all KCTCS students beginning in 2015-16 and continuing thereafter until the agency bond debt service is fully paid. At the December 2014 Board meeting, the KCTCS Board of Regents adopted three resolutions required to facilitate the capital project financings in support of the KCTCS BuildSmart Investment: the KCTCS Reimbursement Resolution, the KCTCS Mandatory Fee Resolution, and the KCTCS Authorizing Resolution.. More detailed information on each project and the one state funded project will be provided in the semi-annual KCTCS Facilities Management and Sustainability Status Report to be presented at the December 4, 2015, Board of Regents meeting. 167
