4 <br /> 1 President Buxton said it is becoming more and more of a challenge to not only keep up <br /> 2 with the physical growth of buildings, but also maintain the aging buildings on campus. He said <br /> 3 currently some facility needs and all plumbing needs are fulfilled through contracted services, <br /> 4 which is more expensive. <br /> 5 President Buxton said Durham Tech would like to put together a Recruitment and <br /> 6 Retention Fund to be competitive with area universities and industry. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Slide #4 <br /> SALARIES AND RITI AL POSITIONS <br /> • Durham Tech Salaries <br /> Average.5-month faculltl salary $60,005 <br /> ■ 9-month facuftyr salaries range from $45,448-374.827 <br /> ■ Faculty salaries are based on educational attainment and work experience_ <br /> ■ Average staff salary5 ,516 <br /> ■ Critical disciplines and positions <br /> ■ N"th A W&I'lness,Life Sciences facufty_CompetltIon with the Drake and <br /> UNC health systems,local colleges,and universities for nurslrr� Instructors. <br /> Signing bonuses areas high as$20,000. <br /> ■ Advanced Manufacrafin-q faculty,Director's position has been vacant for <br /> over year ire this highly competitive market <br /> ■ IT,FacuttyacrdStaff roles.Compeurig with industry-level salarlesforbolh <br /> facurey and staff positions_ <br /> ■ Campus Polkea Theca are high-tumoverpositions, Clurhom PO iscuirrently <br /> offering a$10,000 hiring incentive and a S3.WO relocatiorato recnaittop <br /> talent, <br /> ■ ,F VACIElerctriclans€affrafes_These high demand positions are competitive <br /> asthe pipeline for these professionals is law as many are retiring. <br /> r�,mrrrt*ch soli <br /> 9 <br /> 10 President Buxton said there has been some investment at the state-level for salaries, but <br /> 11 the reality is that the average 9-month faculty salary is $50,000. He said this is a tough salary to <br /> 12 deal with when competing with industry. He said a fund of $100,000 is not enough but would <br /> 13 help put the salaries in the ballpark. <br /> 14 President Buxton said the last item he wants to mention is a request for a sworn officer <br /> 15 for the Orange County Durham Tech Campus. He said security at all college campuses is vital, <br /> 16 and there are a lot of vacancies for campus police. He said there have been a few incidents at <br /> 17 the Orange County Durham Tech Campus that have thankfully not escalated but have <br /> 18 demonstrated the need for a sworn officer. <br /> 19 Commissioner Fowler asked if the law enforcement officer is included in one of the <br /> 20 amounts listed. <br /> 21 President Buxton said it is not included on the slides but is part of the request. <br /> 22 Andrew Kleitsch said the cost is $78,200 with salary and benefits. <br /> 23 Commissioner Fowler asked if the state provides any money for campus police. <br /> 24 Andrew Kleitsch said no, all funding comes from local sources for campus police. <br /> 25 Commissioner Greene asked what the total amount of Durham Tech's request is outside <br /> 26 of the Manager's recommended budget. <br /> 27 President Buxton said they are requesting $65,000 to match the Durham County <br /> 28 Manager's recommended funding, and $78,200 for the sworn officer position. <br /> 29 Commissioner Greene asked what the slide above indicates in reference to those <br /> 30 amounts. <br />
