Trustees Report on GCCC Audit and Finances
The meeting covered federal grants and contracts as well as income sources from student tuition, auxiliary revenues, investments, and miscellaneous funds. Investments declined this year with a 1 percent share, after a 2 percent level previously, while the endowment lost over $1 million in 2008 and has recovered about 60 percent. For 2009 expenses surpassed revenue by more than $1 million, with reserves used to balance the gap. A list of 15 stimulus project ideas ranging from $20,000 to $2.3 million was reviewed for potential funding, and ongoing improvements funded by the ARRA were noted. New hires, resignations, transfers, and insurance renewals were reported, alongside accreditation renewals for nursing programs and extended instruction in Great Bend.
