<br />RCCC - Presentation of FY 2014 Budget Request
<br />Ann Wilson, Finance Director, briefly reviewed a section of the FY 2014
<br />Proposed Budget as it related to the budget request from Rowan - Cabarrus
<br />Community College (RCCC). She stated the major decrease in the proposed
<br />request is due to the $919,608.00 one -time capital funds RCCC received the
<br />previous year.
<br />Ms. Wilson advised the RCCC debt service will increase by $28,551.00
<br />over the previous budget due to a scheduled 2014 increase in principal; and
<br />while the interest is scheduled to decrease, it will not decrease to an
<br />extent that offsets the increased principal.
<br />Dr. Carol Spalding, RCCC President and Janet Spriggs, RCCC Chief
<br />Financial Officer, presented an overview of RCCC activities, trends and
<br />growth, as well as the following budget request for FY 14:

<br />The Manager's budget also included $230,569.00 for RCCC debt service.
<br />Dr. Spalding advised they will continue to seek a location for the
<br />cosmetology program over the next year, as their current lease will be
<br />extended for two years, allowing time to secure a location for the program.
