May 20, 2008 Ms. Laura Blackmon Orange County Manager 200 South Cameron Street PO Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 C.~44u~~- Dear Ms. aclcmon: The FY 2008-09 Budget Request for Durham Technical Community College is attached for your review. This budget request, which was approved by our Board of Trustees last week, totals $581,694 which is a 7.17% increase over our annualized appropriation for the current fiscal year. We are .requesting an increase of $42,457 in current expenses over otir annualize appropriation of $502,694 and a decrease of $3,550 in capital outlay over our annualize appropriation of $40,000. As we discussed earlier this month, almost half of ot~r current expense request is in the area of salaries and benefits. The specific items included in that category include atwenty-four-hour per day, seven-day per week campus security presence, afull-time campus receptionist, and funds to pay for a portion of the salaries of facilities services personnel, (such as maintenance technicians, our shipping and receiving coordinator, and supervisors responsible for housekeeping and Landscaping contracts). Based on guidance from the North Carolina Community College System Office, we have calculated a 4% increase for otir frill-time and continuing part-time employees in these areas. The portions of the overall salary we are asking Orange County to fund range from $2,000 to $8,000, depending ttpon the position and the amount of time and attention the employees will devote to supporting Orange County Campos operations. In past years about one-fifth of the students who enroll in classes at Durham Tech reside in Orange County. With the opening of our Orange County Campus we are convinced that percentage will increase. I thank you again for .the support we have received from you and the Orange County Board of Commissioners, and we look forward to meeting with you to discuss our FY 2008-09 Budget Request. Very truly yours, ~`"'~~~ Willia G. Ingram President Edward E.
