BLINN BOARD TO CONSIDER BUDGET ADOPTION, DREYER FIELD UPGRADES

  

The Blinn Board of Trustees will consider adoption of the new fiscal year’s budget and stipends at its meeting this (Tuesday) afternoon.

The College proposed a budget of $105 million, a 12.4 percent decrease from the current fiscal year, at the board’s meeting last month.  The new budget, according to College officials, accounts for anticipated decreases in state funding, enrollment, and housing and food service revenue, among other revenue sources.  It includes reduced travel expenditures and reductions in all departmental budgets, but also includes a potential salary increase for full-time faculty and staff.

Also at today’s meeting, trustees will consider authorizing the College to seek qualifications for architectural services and seek proposals for construction manager-at-risk services related to upgrades at Dreyer Field on the Brenham Campus.

The board will also consider going out for proposals for construction manager-at-risk services for the RELLIS Phase II Building on the RELLIS Campus, and proceed with the design of the building.

The board will meet this afternoon at 5:30 p.m.  Public access to the meeting will be limited to Rooms 2 and 3 of the Brenham Campus Student Center.  The meeting will also be livestreamed on Blinn’s YouTube channel.
