Budget Planning Committee (BPC)
Note: In Fall 2013, BPC was suspended and its functions adopted by the Institutional Planning and Budget Committee (IPBC). IPBC will convene ad hoc groups as needed to address budget issues.

  • Recommending annual operating budget to Integrated Planning Committee. 
  • Monitoring the college operating budget on a quarterly basis and recommending corrective actions if necessary.
  • Ensuring that both long-term and short-term budget activities are integrated into College's Institutional Planning Calendar.
  • Making recommendations to Integrated Planning Committee with respect to funding available for staffing levels of faculty, classified staff and administrators in conjunction with Human Resources Committee per fiscal year.
  • Establishing regular communications with the campus community regarding college budget matters.
