State Board Priorities – Equity and Diversity

Brief Description One of the Board’s six priorities is to eliminate equity gaps for students in the college system. This agenda item is the third meeting in a series to develop an equity policy statement that reflects the values of State Board members on equity, diversity and inclusion.

Background information and analysis Eliminating equity gaps is central to the Board’s priorities to increase access and enrollment and to improve completion rates for degree, certificate and diploma seeing students. Over the past two years the Board has had several presentations related to enrollment patterns and student outcomes by race and income, and the diversity of faculty and staff in the college system. To promote a collective vision for the college system at the March meeting, leaders from the state trustees association (ACT), the presidents association (WACTC), faculty unions, and State Board senior staff and members of the agency’s diversity committee will participated in the training on leading with racial equity from Melia LaCour. Ms. LaCour provided additional training and facilitated a discussion to begin defining the Board’s vision for leading with racial equity. In 2006, the State Board adopted a vision statement for the college system: Build strong communities, individuals and families, and achieve greater global competitiveness and prosperity for the state and its economy by raising the knowledge and skills of the state’s residents. The Board may wish to revise this vision statement to reflect its expressed values on equity and diversity. A work group of participants (Board members, presidents, trustee, chief diversity and equity officer, faculty, students, state board staff) from the March Board meeting has met twice to develop a draft vision statement for Board consideration. Melia LaCour will facilitate a discussion with the Board to review the current draft from the work group. The work group will meet again after the May Board meeting to integrate Board member and further work group participant’s feedback into a final draft vision statement for Board consideration in June.

Potential questions • What equity values do Board members wish to include in the policy statement? • Should the equity policy statement be integrated into the Board’s vision statement?

Recommendation/preferred result Staff recommend a robust round table discussion on equity and diversity with college system leaders and will review and provide feedback on proposed statements to jointly develop an equity policy statement for the college system.

ctcLink Project Update

Brief Description

At its core, ctcLink is the implementation of a single, centralized suite of online tools that provides students, faculty and staff on-demand access to a more modern and efficient way of doing their daily college business. However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State Board agency. It will bring lasting change to the way the SBCTC and colleges do business locally and together as a system. As one college recently put it, “It’s not simply a matter of adapting to new software … it’s about adapting to the change in how we work.”

The project has made significant strides since the State Board requested a full project report one year ago. State Board staff will give a comprehensive, high-level progress report and discuss key activities, including status of the Pilot Remediation Phase, the current deployment schedule for all colleges, key project risks and mitigation measures, project budget status, and an update on local college engagement and shared ownership of the success of ctcLink on each campus.

Staff will reiterate the importance of transparency in all aspects of the project, including ongoing system-wide input and involvement. The project's commitment to this approach since restarting the project has helped instill confidence among stakeholders that ctcLink is on the right track and truly realigned for success.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 Priorities? The ctcLink project is one of the six strategic priorities endorsed by the State Board for 2018-19.

Background information and analysis Based on results from a readiness assessment performed in 2010 by a leading technology firm, the community and technical college system embarked on an enterprise resource planning (ERP) project to replace the 35-year-old legacy system used by all 34 colleges and the SBCTC.

Following extensive planning and a formal RFP process, the ctcLink project kicked off in 2013 and three pilot colleges deployed into the ctcLink/PeopleSoft environment in August 2015. After a difficult go-live with the pilot colleges, an external Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) was performed. Based on the IV&V findings, further deployments were put on hold while the project entered a Pilot Remediation phase. The Remediation phase was officially closed in December 2017, with conditions of a plan and timeline approved by all parties to complete outstanding Remediation items, while also moving the project forward.

The original implementation partner left the project and a new director with extensive PeopleSoft and higher education project implementation experience was hired to get the project back on track. In collaboration with a group of college project and organizational change managers, project leadership developed a detailed plan and timeline for implementing ctcLink to all colleges by 2021.

In addition, Washington State’s Office of the Chief Information Officer required a new project Investment Plan and Technology Budget prior to the restart of the project. The updated plan—along with a budget that supports it—was developed and approved by system leadership and external (oversight) groups in January 2018.

An enormous amount of work has taken place since the project restarted and deployment groups 2 and 3 officially kicked off, with deployment groups 4, 5 and 6 close behind. However, a project of this magnitude and complexity is never easy and will require constant monitoring and engagement at all levels and stages. All college leaders have been advised that having a dedicated project manager in place and working now—regardless of deployment group—is critical to the success of ctcLink at their college. While there have been starts and stops with the project in the past, the message is clear that the project is back on track and the time is now for all colleges to be engaged in ctcLink at some level.

Potential questions

• Is the ctcLink system fully functioning and working well for the pilot colleges? What are the outlying issues that need to be resolved from both a functionality and change management perspective?

• What are the top risks for the project now and how are they being mitigated?

• Are colleges engaged at the levels they need to be and are they getting adequate support, both from their college leadership and the project/SBCTC teams?

• What are some best practices already in place at colleges and positive aspects of the new project

methodology that we want to focus on and build upon to aid in a successful implementation for everyone?

Recommendation/preferred result State Board members will engage in an open discussion and have a clear understanding of the project status, current risks and critical success factors for ctcLink.

STATUS PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION / NOTES

G SBCTC/Governance Governance framework continues to work as expected. Meetings are held according to schedule, with materials distributed beforehand, and decisions made at the appropriate level.

G Project Management Project Management Office (PMO) is fully staffed, working well together and continuing to address improvements in project management processes.

Y Phase Scope QA concerned about implementation schedules for replacement solutions. Impacts to scope and schedule for DG2 and DG3 will be more defined once solutions are selected.

Y Schedule Status DG2/DG3/DG4 schedules and resource constraints now directly impact all deployment groups. Schedule compression and key project resources are heavily allocated to tasks.

Y TrainingThe decisions and actions taken by PMO have enabled recovery of this key work stream. The external contractor supporting delivery of training materials has made good progress with the Finance and HCM pillars. PMO has decided to coincide just-in-time targeted training with UAT Sprints which achieves a number of positive benefits.

Y Testing This work stream is yellow, but is now trending green due to changes made by the PMO. The PMO has added another PS experienced key resource for this work stream. DG2 Testing workstream relies heavily on availability and expertise of functional project staff.

G Configurations / Data Conversion

Technical work for DG2 System Configurations and Data Conversion Cycle 4 is underway with good results reported.

G Organizational Change Management (OCM)

PMO/OCM is actively engaged with all colleges now involved with their Deployment Groups. QAconcerned that PMO focus remains on the DG2 schedule.

G Project StaffingProject staffing is adequate at this time and continues to make staffing adjustments as appropriate. QA and the PMO remain concerned that the overlap of DG2/DG3/DG4 may require additional project and contractor resources. Project leadership and staff morale is positive given schedule pressures.

Y Technical EnvironmentFuture PS updates/bundles and 3rd party software installation and support work is being managed by the IT Division outside of the project responsibility. Overall planning of these changes needs to be tightly integrated with the ctcLink DG2/DG3/DG4 schedules. This becomes more challenging with the overlap in implementation schedules.

Tab 3

2021-23 major capital project scoring criteria

Brief Description

The State Board will review the status of the current 2019-21 capital budget request and will be asked to

decide

• If there should be a selection for new major projects to be added to the 2021-23 biennial capital budget request.

• If there is to be a selection, to adopt selection criteria, identify colleges eligible to compete, set a minimum score, and establish the process for adding projects to the pipeline.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 priorities? The built environment supports enrollment, equity, diversity and completions.

Background Information and Analysis The State Board must submit a single prioritized request for community and technical college capital needs to the Office of Financial Management and the legislature for funding consideration.

Capital projects with state appropriated funds that cost $5 million or more are to be individually requested and are called “major projects”. Major projects are typically funded in two biennia; first for design and then construction.

Smaller projects are called “minor projects.” Minor projects are expected to be completed in the biennium they are funded.

Funding appropriated for the community and technical colleges is usually a combination of state bonds and cash from the building fees paid by the community and technical college students. Building fees are affected by enrollment levels and the state has a constitutionally limited capacity for construction bonds based on the last six-years of general fund revenue. Our system competes with all of the other state and local government agencies as well as some private and non-profit corporations for the limited state bonds.

Update on 2019-21 Capital Budget Request

The Governor and legislature have proposed various funding levels of the State Board’s 2019-21 capital request. The legislature is scheduled to adopt a capital budget by the end of the current session on April 28th. At the time of this writing, the House and Senate are working to resolve the differences in their proposals.

The House has proposed fully funding the projects in the State Board request in priority order down through construction of the Medical Mile Health Science Center at Bates Technical College. The Senate proposal would

Page 20: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

TAB 3

2

appropriate $78 million more for the request in priority order down through construction of the Fine and Applied Arts Replacement project at Spokane Falls Community College.

Both proposals provide all of the alternative financing authorities requested and needed. Additionally, both proposals include sufficient reappropriations for all of the current major projects. Both proposals also provide funding for a Career Preparation and Launch Grant program for the State Board to manage on behalf of the community and technical college system that was not in the request.

There is a side by side comparison of the request and proposals in attachment A. An updated comparison will be provided to the State Board if there is an adopted budget or new proposals before the meeting.

Potential need to add to the pipeline

Preservation Projects: As a building’s age and condition are prime factors in our current major project scoring methodology, they can be used as proxies to estimate the renovation and replacement needs of the system. Not including projects currently in the pipeline, there are over 421,000 square feet of buildings at 20 different colleges that would likely score high enough on condition and age to be added to the pipeline in 2021. Within that group, seven colleges have over 119,000 square feet that would get all available renovation points based on age and condition.

In terms of replacement projects, there are also over 225,000 square feet of buildings at 13 colleges that would likely score high enough to be added to the pipeline. One of those colleges has 27,000 square feet that would get all available replacement points based on age and condition.

These proxies for the complete set of proposed major project criteria indicate there is likely to be a large need for additional renovation and replacement projects.

New Buildings. Given the decline in enrollments, one might not expect a need for new building area. However, some colleges may need net new area to accommodate their current and projected enrollments.

Presently 18 colleges are below the system average square footage per Full Time Equivalent students (FTE) and four of those colleges are below the average from 2010, when system enrollment peaked. After accounting for the projects in the pipeline and the projected growth in enrollment, four colleges will have less square footage per FTE in 2028 than in 2010.

While square footage per FTE is a crude metric for utilization it does indicate some colleges may need additional area.

If new major projects are to be added, how should they be selected and prioritized?

Selection criteria are used to prioritize college requests for major projects relative to the system’s policy objectives. The criteria are reviewed and updated every two years in response to new objectives, experience and external interests.

The State Board’s capital budget request has historically been shaped by an overarching policy set by the State Board, with specific workforce and programmatic needs identified at the local level. New space must be justified through effective use of existing space and forecasted new enrollments. Over the last couple of years, State Board staff has worked with the State Board and system stakeholders to improve and refine the criteria used to select and prioritize projects.

The selection process for major capital projects is designed to balance several, often competing policy objectives. Criteria are selected to be relevant to each type of proposal and to differentiate the proposals

Page 21: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

TAB 3

based on the relative value of each objective. Due to the diverse needs addressed by the proposals, not all policy objectives are applicable to every proposal.

At this time, staff recommends application of a slightly revised/updated version of the scoring criteria used for 2019-21. The most significant updates in the proposed 2021-23 criteria are consistent with The Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges (WACTC) goal to improve educational outcomes of its diverse student bodies and the State Board goal to promote student opportunity and success. System stakeholders worked together to identify how the built environment could improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.

The criteria proposed for 2021-23 includes criteria to encourage using space to close achievement gaps. There are three factors to this new criteria:

1) The number of students in the achievement gap 2) The size of the gap 3) The likelihood the proposed solution will reduce the gap

The criteria allows for multiple gaps and multiple solutions in each proposal.

The proposed criteria also have increased potential points for projects with faculty offices, if they are configured to improve opportunities for student/faculty interaction. Locating faculty offices adjacent to informal learning spaces will earn more points than traditional office configurations.

Attachment B is the 2021-23 Project Development Guidelines recommended by WACTC. It is designed to provide equal opportunity to replacement, renovation and new building projects including infrastructure and matching funds through awarding points in the following areas:

• Minimum and overarching points applicable to all proposals. This includes effective use of existing facilities and consistency with state requirements and college planning.

• Matching fund points when a project includes non-state resources. • Infrastructure points for projects that include qualified site costs. • Renovation points for project reusing existing space. • Replacement points for projects that include demolition of existing space. • New area points for use when a project increases the building area of a campus.

A proposal can include any combination of these elements and all proposals have a potential for 100 relevant and equally hard to get points regardless of what elements are included. Appendices provide additional information for colleges when developing their proposals and for the project scorers.

Next Steps. On April 25, 2019, WACTC is scheduled to hold an academy and vote to recommend whether the State Board should hold a new major project selection for the 2021-23 capital budget request. And, if there is a selection recommended, what the criteria should be and who should be eligible to compete. During this academy WACTC will be briefed on several considerations, including:

• Current practices for budget development and management of the project pipeline • The age and condition of existing facilities • Recent and potential funding levels • Which colleges currently have major projects in the pipeline

The result of this discussion and recommendations will be shared with the State Board during its May meeting.

The current pipeline is in attachment C. Any recommendation from WACTC will be provided prior to the State Board meeting.

Once the questions about a major project selection are answered, there will be east-side and west-side workshops for colleges and their consultants on how to prepare requests for the 2021-23 capital budget. If there is going to be a major project selection proposals will be due in December 2019. Minor project proposals will be due in March 2020.

Potential questions

• Should there be a selection of new major projects for the 2021-23 capital budget request?

• If there is to be a selection ~

o Are the proposed 2021-23 major project scoring criteria consistent with the State Board’s policy objectives and goals?

o Should the competition for 2019-21 new major projects be open to all colleges?

o What minimum score should a proposal get to be added to the pipeline?

o Should new projects be added to the pipeline in rank order, below the existing projects in the pipeline?

Recommendation/preferred result Staff recommends approval of Resolution 19-05-17 adopting selection criteria, identifying colleges eligible to compete, setting a minimum score and establishing a process for adding projects to the pipeline of projects for the State Board’s 2021-23 biennial capital budget request.

Appendix C – Existing Utilization

Utilization is used to compare the level of use of instructional facilities at different locations. The methodology is based on the 1994 Higher Education Coordinating Board standards for classroom and laboratory facility utilization available here- http://www.wsac.wa.gov/sites/default/files/FacilitiesEvaluationandPlanningGuide.pdf. The contact hours are totaled for classrooms, laboratories and other facilities used for instruction in the first week of the preceding fall quarter and compared to the capacity of these spaces. The weekly utilization rate is equal to the contact hours divided by room capacity during a forty-five hour week. The college can identify which forty-five hours represent the peak use of their facilities for the calculation. The capacity is generally the number of student seats designed to be available in the space. If another standard is used it should be described in the analysis.

• For example, if there is a room used for classroom instruction with one instructor, the maximum student-to-faculty ratio is twenty-five by contract, or policy, and the room has twenty-eight student seats, then the capacity of the room is limited by the contract, or policy, to twenty-five students.

The capacity of non-traditional classrooms will be the maximum number of students that can be accommodated by the space at a given time. The capacity of these spaces may also be limited by contract, or policy. Here are some examples:

• If there is a space used for hands-on automotive repair instruction, two students can work on an automobile at a time, and the space can hold ten automobiles, then the capacity of this space would be twenty students.

• If there is a space used for instruction of computer controlled machining that is used by a

single student cohort that includes sixteen student computer workstations and six computer controlled machines for which two students can work on at a time, then the capacity of this space is limited by the number of machines to twelve students.

The analysis will include a note about why any physical workstations were not included in the analysis and how the college plans to use the space more efficiently in the future. Colleges can either calculate their facility utilization using the room scheduling software in ctcLink, called 25Live, or with a spreadsheet provided by the State Board. Currently, the standard utilization reports in 25Live do not offer as much flexibility as allowed by this methodology. This methodology was developed specifically for scoring of new major project proposals and may not be appropriate for other utilization reporting needs.

23

Definitions: Workstation utilization in hours per week equals the number of contact hours divided by the room capacity. Utilization is reported for every individual classroom and lab space on a campus. Utilization is also reported in aggregate by room use code by campus. Contact hours are the sum of the classroom contact hours of state and running start enrollments for-credit courses during the 45 data capture hours of any consecutive five instructional days starting with the enrollment census date of the preceding fall or winter quarter. These are the hours students are expected to attend instructor led classes and labs as indicated on the class schedule. The 45 data capture hours are defined by the college to report their peak facility usage. Colleges may elect to use any combination of 45 data capture hours during the five days. If a class starts before, or ends after a capture hour, then the start and end times for the class are limited to the time included in the capture hours. For example, if the college chooses to use 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM Monday through Friday as part of their 45 data capture hours and a class with 10 students meets five times a week for 60 minutes starting at 7:30 AM, this class would contribute 25 student contact hours toward the calculation of utilization (10 student x 30 contact minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour x 5 meetings). If a college elects to use blocks of contiguous hours each day for data capture, then they may include a 10 minute pad between classes to account for the time it takes to empty and fill a room. For example, if the college chooses to use 8:00AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday as their 45 data capture hours and a class with 10 students meets five times a week for 60 minutes starting at 7:30 AM, this class would contribute 33.33 student contact hours toward the calculation of utilization (10 student x 40 contact minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour x 5 meetings). Room capacity is the capacity of the space for instruction as reported by the college. The room capacity should be based on the physical limitations of the facility and the method of instruction. References: Per FAE Facility Coding Manual, classrooms have 110, 120, and 130. Scheduled labs have 210 and 260 room use codes. State enrollments are defined in State Board policy 5.30.10 A contact hour is defined in State Board policy 5.40.10. Enrollment census dates are defined in State Board policy 5.50. A spreadsheet that calculates utilization consistent with the adopted methodology, and a spreadsheet with sample data are available here — http://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/programs-services/capital-budget/capital-budget-development.aspx

Appendix D — Future Utilization

The utilization of campus classrooms and laboratories in the future is the projected number of contact hours divided by the future number of workstations. This can be estimated by adding the number of workstations in the proposed project to the existing number of workstations and the net new Type 1 enrollment to the existing Type 1 enrollment. Start with the existing utilization, as determined in appendix C, the number of Type 1 FTE in the corresponding fall quarter, and the projected Type 1 FTE as determined in appendix G. For example, given the following: Existing Weekly Utilization Summary Table Class Workstations in Project = 350 Lab Workstations in Project = 600 Net New Type 1 FTE = 500 We can convert the Net New FTE into class and lab FTE by recognizing each lab workstation produces one-half the credits per hour as a class workstation does; Projected Net New Class FTE = (Net New Type 1 FTE) x Class Workstations in Project / (Class Workstations in Project + (Lab Workstations in Project / 2)) = 500 x 350 / [350 + (600 / 2)] = 269.23 Projected Net New Lab FTE = (Net New Type 1 FTE) x (Lab Workstations in Project / 2) / (Class Workstations in Project + (Lab Workstations in Project / 2)) = 500 x 600 / 2 / [350 + (600 / 2)] = 230.77 Next converting the FTE to contact hours; Projected Net New Class Contact Hours = Projected Net New Class FTE x 15 Classroom Contact Hours per FTE = 269.23 x 15 = 4,038.46 Projected Net New Lab Contact Hours = Projected Net New Lab FTE x 30 Lab Contact Hours per FTE = 230.77 x 30 = 6,923.08

We get the new numerator for utilization by adding the net new contact hours to the existing contact hours; Projected Class Contact Hours = Existing Class Contact Hours + Projected Net New Class Contact Hours = 20,344.70 + 4,038.46 = 24,383.16 Projected Lab Contact Hours = Existing Lab Contact Hours + Projected Net New Lab Contact Hours = 8,485.20 + 6,923.08 = 15,408.28 We get the new denominator for utilization by adding the number of net new workstations to the existing number of workstations; Future Class Workstations = Existing Class Workstations + Net New Class Workstations = 787 + 350 = 1,137 Future Lab Workstations = Existing Lab Workstations + Net New Lab Workstations = 415 + 600 = 1,015 The future utilization can now be estimated as; Future Class Utilization = Projected Class Contact Hours / Future Class Workstations = 24,383.16 / 1,137 = 21.45 Future Lab Utilization = Projected Lab Contact Hours / Future Lab Workstations = 15,408.28 / 1,015 = 15.19 Future Weekly Utilization Summary Table A spreadsheet that calculates utilization consistent with this methodology, and a spreadsheet with sample data, are both available here — http://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/programs-services/capital-budget/capital-budget-development.aspx

Appendix E – Average Useful Life of Infrastructure

The following average useful lives are used in accounting for depreciating assets. Since this is an average, about half of the infrastructure is expected to last longer. Projects involving infrastructure with different average lives shall use a cost weighted average life for scoring relative to the criteria.

Appendix G – Enrollment Forecasting

The State Board staff will provide a ten-year enrollment forecast for each college based on the previous fall quarter enrollment adjusted for expected population changes over the next ten years. There will be a total enrollment projection, a projection for sizing classrooms and labs called “Type 1” FTE, and another for sizing other facilities on a campus called “Type 2” FTE that includes online enrollment. The State Board projections include enrollment for academic transfer, workforce and basic skills courses. The projections exclude enrollment for continuing education courses and courses taught in prisons. The Type 1 and Type 2 projections for sizing facilities are based on the peak need for space on the campus so they exclude evening and weekend enrollments. High school students taking for-credit classes on the campus during the day through the running start program are included in the State Board enrollment projections. In general, the State Board’s population-based enrollment projections have been fairly accurate, but individual college projections can be off by large enough amounts to have an impact on capital project scoring. The projections are for a ten year period to account for the time it can take for a capital project to be funded, designed and constructed. The State Board projections will be provided in early 2017. If a college would like to provide an alternative ten-year projection for their Type 1 or 2 FTE, then it should be submitted to the State Board’s capital budget director before May 2017 so it can be reviewed by State Board staff and a task force from the Research and Planning Council (RPC) by the end of June 2017. The RPC task force will provide qualitative feedback on the proposed projection relative to the following goals: Consistency with definition of Type 1 or Type 2 FTE Use of strong and non-derivative data sources Having a minimum of 10 years of source data Use of valid statistical approach for building the forecast Inclusion of “what if” scenarios that explain what may affect the projection

Additional guidance on developing enrollment projections would be provided at the capital budget development workshops in early 2017. Time permitting; the RPC task force will review multiple iterations of a college’s projection. If the college chooses to include the alternative enrollment projection in the PRR, the RPC feedback will be provided to scorers of the major project proposals for their consideration.

Appendix I – Allowable Scope Changes after Scoring

Generally, colleges should make every effort to complete the project as proposed. A college can make changes, for reasons internal to the operation of the college, which are not likely to have changed the project’s score by following these steps:

1. Describe the proposed change to the State Board’s capital budget director.

2. The State Board’s capital budget director will assess the potential impact of the proposed change on the objective and subjective criteria used to score the original proposal.

3. If the change would only impact objective components of the criteria; like facility

condition scores, square footage, building age, cost, or utilization; and, if the proposed change is not likely to have reduced the total score of the objective criteria, the proposed change will be allowed. The capital budget director will then report the approved change to WACTC’s capital committee at their next regularly scheduled meeting.

4. If the change could impact the more subjective criteria, the State Board’s capital budget

director will work with the college to provide information to WACTC’s capital committee for evaluation of the potential impact on the original proposal’s score. If the WACTC capital committee decides the change it not likely to have reduced the score, the proposed change will be allowed.

A college has even more flexibility when the project needs to be changed in response to an external cause. External causes include, but are not be limited to, construction funding below the requested level, delays in state funding, unforeseeable mitigation requirements from permitting authorities, unforeseeable code changes, and unforeseen archaeological impacts. A college can propose a change due to an external cause by following these steps:

1. Describe the external cause and proposed change to the State Board’s capital budget director. This may require some documentation to substantiate the cause.

2. The State Board’s capital budget director will work with the college to preserve the scope

and cost of the originally proposed project while mitigating the external cause of the change.

3. The capital budget director will then report the approved change to WACTC’s capital committee at their next regularly scheduled meeting.

Neither the capital budget director nor WACTC’s capital committee can create an obligation for additional state funding for the project. Based on the nature and timing of the change, it may need approval from the Office of Financial Management or the Legislature.

Appendix J – Identification of Opportunity Gaps and Solutions in the Built Environment The built environment can improve educational outcomes by addressing opportunity gaps at the community and technical colleges. Each college may have different gaps in educational outcomes that are best addressed by different aspects of the built environment. Since gaps and solutions vary from college to college, this criteria has colleges identify their own gaps in educational outcomes and then include project elements that are likely to help close them. The identification and proposed solutions should be consistent with the following:

• Outcomes are compared for a broad cohort of students with similar educational background and end goals (e.g., all award seeking students with fewer than 10 prior college credits).

• Outcomes are compared for a cohort of students with the same starting point and time frame to meet outcomes (e.g., students starting in Fall 2014 and finishing their program within three years).

• Outcomes represent key end goals (i.e., program completion, employment outcomes, and transfer outcomes) or key progress milestones to reach those end goals (e.g., credit completion milestones, math and English completion, or retention).

The points will be awarded using the following methodology that relies on three factors to award the points based on how likely the proposed solution is to have significant improvement in the college’s gaps in educational outcomes. The three factors and there values are:

A. Size of the number of students in the gap relative to the student body as a whole. This factor would be —

a. 0 if the sum of the number of students in the gaps is two percent or less of the student body,

b. 0.500 if the number of students in the gaps is more than two percent and less than 10 percent of the student body, and

c. 1.000 if the number of students in the gaps is 10 percent or more of the student body.

B. Size of the outcome gaps for those in the groups relative to the rest of the student body in percentage points. This is the outcome ratio of all students minus the ratio of the students in the gap. The numerator and denominator would depend on the gap. This factor would be —

a. 0 if the sum of the sizes of the gaps is two percentage points or less, b. 0.500 if the gaps are more than two percentage points and less than 10 percentage

points, and c. 1.000 if the gaps are 10 percentage points or more.

C. The likelihood of improvement due to the proposed solutions. a. C = 1.000 if there is evidence that the proposed solutions have had a significant

impact on similar opportunity gaps at the college or at another college. b. C = 0.666 if there is indirect evidence that the proposed solutions are likely to

have a significant impact on the identified opportunity gaps. Indirect evidence could include a student survey endorsing the proposed solutions, evidence that

New

32

similar solutions have had a significant impact on similar gaps, or evidence that the proposed solutions address a problem related to the identified gaps.

c. C = 0.333 if there is a clear logic model for how the proposed solutions are likely to have a significant impact on the identified gaps.

d. If the solutions have different likelihoods of improvement, the likelihood of improvement of all the solutions will be the student weighted likelihood of improvement for each group.

The number of unweighted points awarded to the proposal for this criteria = A x B x C x the number of unweighted points available for this criteria.

Appendix J – Identification of Opportunity Gaps and Solutions in the Built Environment South Puget Sound Community College Example

Students who take the Enhanced Student Success Class are more likely to complete.

South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) launched an Enhanced Student Success (ESS) Class for new college students who are not academically prepared for college work Fall 2014. The outcome of this class has resulted in increased persistence for students who are successful in the ESS class. Over the last four fall quarters, 338 students is the average number of students who have received a recommendation to enroll in the ESS class. However, on average, only 152 actually enroll within the first two quarters of attendance at SPSCC. Because the outcome of successfully passing this class has proven to be beneficial to student persistence, the college will require ESS for specific student populations, especially for students that are choosing not to enroll after a recommendation to do so. If SPSCC mandates a class requirement, learning space is required to sufficiently meet the needs of the demand. Currently, various teaching space is sufficient to schedule all the necessary classes because a sub-set of the target population is enrolled in the ESS classes (students requiring pre-college work who elect to enroll). However, as this program moves to requirement for this specific population, a larger dedicated space would be necessary to meet the scheduling needs and provide an inclusive central first year experience resource center. Building 26 would be a great location to dedicate to the Enhanced Student Success classes. This building is adjacent to the main Student Services building, the bus loop, and a very short walk to the Student Union Building. Currently this space is not ideal for teaching and learning; the list is long of problems that make it not conducive to teaching and learning best practices.

• On average, 338 students need ESS each fall quarter. • The average number of students who elected NOT to enroll in ESS is 186 students each

quarter.

Retention rate of students who needed ESS but choose not to enroll.

Retention rate of ALL students who needed ESS (including those who choose not to enroll).

Page 52: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

34

• The number of students returning who elected NOT to enroll in ESS is 93 students each quarter.

• The relative size of the cohort in the gap is 93/338 = 27.5% so A = 1.000 • The relative size of the gap is the difference in retention rates of those in the gap and the

larger population of those who needed ESS was 55.6% - 32.8% = 22.8 percentage points so B = 1.000

• For this example we would survey the students who needed ESS but did not take it to find out why they did not take it. Since this survey has not taken place, we will assume a hypothetical result: students did not enroll in ESS because the limited offerings of the class due to available space did not fit into the student’s schedule. By combining this with space utilization data to substantiate the lack of appropriate space, the major project proposal would include dedicated space for ESS so C = 0.666

• A * B * C = 1.000 * 1.000 * 0.666 = 0.666 time the available unweighted points in each category for the proposed project.

Appendix J – Identification of Opportunity Gaps and Solutions in the Built Environment Renton Technical College Example

Students in high-wage programs are more likely to complete.

Renton Technical College would build a center promoting College and Career Pathways (CCP) student transition into college level programs, with a strong emphasis on transition into high wage STEM programs. Factor A: Renton Technical College’s CCP students comprise between 37% and 42% of the College’s overall enrollment2 Year College and Career Pathways Enrollment College Level Enrollment 2015-16 36% 64% 2016-17 40% 60% 2017-18 41% 59%

Transitioned College and Career Pathways students’ share of enrollment in Professional Technical programs stands at 28% of total professional technical enrollment3

Regardless of which lens is applied to the population, the relative size of the cohort exceeds 10% of the student body, so A = 1.000.

2 Includes students with Intents A,B,D,E,F,M,I, and G. Vocational Supplemental and Apprenticeship students excluded from totals. College level students include all students not coded to intents D and E. 3 Based on SBCTC student achievement initiative data: transitioned students are identified using the field Current or Prior Basic Skills. Prof tech students are identified using the fields first and last intent where either field equals F,M,I or G.

36

Factor B: Based on wage and placement data the College receives from Data for Linking Outcomes Assessment (DLOA), the College knows that graduates coded to high wage programs by SBCTC 4 earn more than their peers in medium or low wage programs.

RTC defines the gap as the percentage non-transitioned students enrolled in high wage programs compared the number of prior CCP students enrolled in high wage programs. For the most recent year of data where data is available (2017-18), the gap exceeds 10% (3% for transitioned CCP students enrolled in high wage programs compared to 17% non-CCP prof tech students enrolled in high wage programs), so B = 1.000.

Factor C: This transition center builds of educational research focusing on the correlations between belonging and recruitment/retention/completion of marginalized populations of students in STEM programs. The College would track progress through two leading indicators: CCP enrollment in high wage programs, and their subsequent retention in those programs. The College would use only one lagging indicator: the number of CCP students earning credentials in high demand programs. Research examples include: Toven-Lindsey, B., Levis-Fitzgerald, M., Barber, P. H., & Hasson, T. (2015). Increasing persistence in undergraduate science majors: A model for institutional support of underrepresented students. CBE Life Sciences Education, 14(2), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1187/cbe.14-05-0082 Real world implementation: UCLA PEERS program (Program for Excellence in Education and Research in the Sciences). PEERS is a dedicated center at UCLA that provides underrepresented students professional development in life/physical science mathematics. Strong components of PEERS include collaborative learning workshops, social events with other science students, and personalized academic advising. The following article includes a quantitative study comparing PEERS to non-PEERS control group: Toven-Lindsey, B., Levis-Fitzgerald, M., Barber, P. H., & Hasson, T. (2015).

STUDY SESSION ITEM May 1, 2019

2019-21 Operating Budget Decision Points

Brief Description During this item, the State Board will review the major budget investments and discuss potential methods for distribution. At the time of this writing, the House and Senate have begun to conference on the Legislative budget. If session ends on time, there will be a final Legislative budget to review and discuss at your meeting. If the Legislature goes into special session, we will review and discuss the major investments in all three budget proposals.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 priorities? Legislative operating and capital appropriations to the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges are the foundation for the system’s operation. State resources provide the means to make progress on our goals. The Board has identified college system priorities as Long-Term Advocacy, Equity/Diversity/Inclusion, Completions, Enrollments, Career Connections, and ctcLink success.

Background information and analysis Background on State Board Allocations to Districts

RCW 28B.50.090 authorizes the State Board to receive state funds for the system and to establish guidelines for the disbursement of funds to college districts. Each year, the State Board adopts an annual allocation to the districts before July 1, the start of the fiscal year.

In 2016, the State Board adopted a new allocation model that made significant changes to the methods for funding college districts. Since then, there have been several consistent categories of funding within the allocation to districts. Below is a refresher on those categories:

I. Within the allocation model • Performance Funding — Student Achievement Initiative • Minimum Operating Allocation • District Enrollment Allocation Base • Priority Weighted Enrollments

II. Outside the allocation model, also known as Safe Harbor:

• Legislative Proviso — Language in the budget bill that places conditions and limitations on the use of appropriations.

• Earmarks of the State Board — Funds identified by the State Board for specific purposes. o Annual budget increases for compensation and facilities are held in Safe Harbor for four

years. After four years, the first year of increases is distributed through the allocation model and another year of increases enters Safe Harbor.

o Program- or population-specific funds identified by the State Board, such as Opportunity Scholarship funding.

Legislative Operating Budget Process

At the time of the last State Board meeting, the House budget proposal and the associated new revenue were the main topic of discussion. The Senate budget had not yet been released. A summary of the Senate budget was sent to the State Board and system stakeholders shortly after it was released in late March. A four-way comparison of the SBCTC, Governor, House, and Senate budgets was distributed in early April.

Some background about the final weeks of the operating budget process: The Senate and House budget writers (chairs of the budget committees) along with leaders from the majority party in both chambers, negotiate the final Legislative budget in conference, a series closed-door meetings. Once an agreement is reached, the budget writers release their conference budget (hopefully before the end of the regular session). Once public, the conference budget is quickly moved to the chambers for floor votes, but stakeholders have a very brief window to comment on the budget and request changes. Once the Legislature passes their final budget, it goes to the Governor who has approximately three weeks to review it and consider vetoes, usually of specific provisions. Once the Governor signs the budget, it becomes the enacted biennial budget and it cannot be amended until the supplemental budget process the following year.

The table below provides a list of the major investments in each of the three budget proposals (Governor, House and Senate). Seeing an item in all three budgets usually indicates a high likelihood that the item will be in the final, enacted budget. For ease of discussion, the amounts shown below are biennial (two-year) totals rounded to the millions. Please note, if a Legislative budget is available on May 1, 2019, a summary will be provided in-person at the State Board meeting.

Through a series of slides (Appendix A), the State Board will review methods used in the past to allocate funding. It will also discuss possible methods for allocating new investments. A final decision is not needed at

this meeting. Staff are seeking guidance as they prepare the operating budget allocation for State Board review in June. The State Board always has discretion to hold funding for certain items in reserve if it would like more time to consider allocation decisions. We believe the college presidents will have recommendations for the State Board on allocation methods, but we are unsure if those will be offered at the May or June State Board meeting.

Potential questions • Are the past allocation methods still appropriate for the FY 2020 allocation? • What does the State Board want to incentivize with its allocation to the colleges?

Staff Recommendation No staff recommendation needed at this time.

Next Steps The State Board meets on May 1-2, 2019 and June 26-27, 2019. Colleges will be anxious to receive budget allocation information as quickly as possible so they can finalize their FY 2020 budgets before the end of the academic year. Based on the timing of the Legislative budget, the State Board may wish to schedule a phone meeting in early June to review and approve the FY 2020 operating budget allocation to districts.

Seattle Central College property disposal

Brief Description

Seattle Colleges is seeking approval to dispose of the property known as the South Annex

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 priorities? The disposal of this property supports responsible stewardship of college capital resources.

Background information and analysis Seattle Central College owns three parcels on the southwest corner of the main campus boundary. These three properties include:

Parcel Number State UFI Address Square Footage Description

600300-0440 None 1500 Broadway Parking lot

600300-0442 A07934 909 E Pine 4,632 1912 building

600300-0445 A05447 1534 Broadway 17,123 1906 building

The parking lot is currently operated by a third party. The two buildings are leased by third parties and not used for any college activities. This property was purchased in 1995 for $2,100,000 using local funds. The buildings have exceeded their useful life for institutional needs and are not recommended for renovation.

The college’s master plan is shifting campus priority away from the southwest boundary to the North Plaza on Broadway. Proceeds from the property sale will be used in a future science, technology, engineering and math/information technology building near the main Broadway Edison complex. Disposing of these properties is consistent with the Seattle Central College development plans presented to the State Board at its October 25, 2017 meeting.

As presented in the October 15, 2018 State Board meeting, governance of the acquisition and disposal of real property within the community and technical college system is shared between the State Board, individual college boards of trustees, the Department of Enterprise Services, the Office of Financial Management and the Department of Commerce.

Coordination with the Department of Enterprise Services is underway to evaluate the future use of the property for affordable housing. Consistent with RCW 43.17.400 priority will be given to entities that would provide

Page 69: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

TAB 5a

2

affordable housing and related facilities. Two community organizations, YouthCare and Capitol Hill Housing have been identified as potential buyers of these properties.

The Seattle Board of Trustees approved the property sale on February 8, 2018. Estimated selling price is currently $9 million and will be conveyed through fee-simple transfer of the deed. Once transferred, the college will have no future risks or liability.

Potential questions Is this project consistent with State Board’s goals of being responsive to the changing needs in the community and using resources efficiently?

Recommendation/preferred result Staff recommends approval of Resolution 19-05-15 giving Seattle College district the authority to dispose of parcels 600300-0440, 600300-0442, and 600300-0445, commonly named the South Annex.

Skagit Valley College — local expenditure authority increase for soccer field improvements

Brief Description

Skagit Valley College is seeking approval to use an additional $109,000 of local funds to complete construction of the soccer field improvements.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 priorities? This project supports enrollments and completions by providing modern campus facilities.

Background information and analysis State Board resolutions 16-11-58 and 17-05-30 previously approved local capital expenditure authority not to exceed $2,225,000.

The soccer field improvements are near completion and an additional $109,000 is needed due to seasonal weather construction delays, latent conditions, and owner approved modifications. The total project cost is now estimated to be $2,334,000.

Skagit Valley College’s vice-president of administrative services, under delegated authority from the Skagit Valley College Board of Trustees, approved this request on April 11, 2019.

Potential questions Is this project consistent with State Board’s goals of being responsive to the changing needs in the community and using resources efficiently?

Recommendation/preferred result Staff recommends approval of Resolution 19-05-16 giving Skagit Valley College the authority to spend up to an additional $109,000 in local funds toward the construction of the soccer field improvements.

Approval of 2019-20 state board meeting dates

Brief Description The State Board adopts a schedule of regular meetings each fiscal year for publication in the Washington State Register. Meetings are held approximately seven times per year on community and technical college campuses and at the State Board offices at intervals of six to eight weeks. Locations rotate among all 34 colleges, balancing visits on the east and west sides of the state. During legislative sessions, meetings are held in or near Olympia.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 goals? The two-day meetings include a study session on the first day designed to provide board members with an in-depth discussion about policy issues and a regular business meeting on the second day when action items are addressed. The proposed meeting schedule is designed to align properly with the Board’s current goals.

Budget Proposals and Revenue Forecast Update The biennial budget process began officially last September when the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) and all other state agencies and institutions of higher education, submitted their budget proposals to the Governor and Legislature. In the operating budget, SBCTC requested approximately $190 million in new policy investments and approximately $627 million in capital appropriations. Governor Inslee’s biennial budget proposals were released December 13, with $175 million in additional operating funding and $338 million in capital for our system. These proposals were dependent on new laws that would generate $3.7 billion in additional revenue for the state. Since the 2019 Legislative Session began, the chairs of the House Appropriations Committee, House Capital Committee, and the Senate Ways and Means Committee have been preparing to release their budget proposals. Legislative budget writers have worked with members and staff to review agency requests, the Governor’s proposal and new operating budget policies. The March Revenue Forecast, provided by the Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council, is the last projection of revenue collections for the 2019-21 biennium prior to the Legislative budget process. It provides budget writers with the revenue “ceiling” they can count on under current law. Due to Washington’s balanced budget requirements, if the Legislature wishes to spend more than expected revenue collections provide, they must pass new laws to increase taxes or other forms of revenue. Governor Inslee’s biennial budget proposal includes $4 billion in revenue increases. Preliminary information from the Economic Revenue Forecast Council’s Economic Review on March 7, 2019, indicate:

• The preliminary economic forecast for Washington is similar to the November forecast • While the labor market continues to be strong, wage growth and inflation remain moderate • Revenue collections since the November forecast are 2.9 percent higher than expected.

Legislative Update The Board was briefed on the current status of the 2019 legislative priorities and emerging issues including:

Operating Budget

With a focus on competitive compensation for college faculty and staff, funding for Guided Pathways, and programming for high demand workforce needs, the operating budget request provides much needed services to our students and enhance Washington’s community and technical college system’s ability to respond to ever growing and ever changing employer demands in their regions around the state.

Capital Budget

The Capital Budget request provides students with high-quality classroom and lab space and places for educational support so they can achieve their goals. Our college system faces a backlog of needed projects which funding of the 2019 request to the legislature would greatly reduce. Overall, the list will fund 37 major projects at 29 colleges and minor projects needed at all 34 colleges.

REGULAR ITEM May 2, 2019

Tab 6

Applied Baccalaureate degree proposals, Statements of Need

Brief Description

A conceptual discussion will occur between the State Board members and the community and technical colleges proposing to offer applied baccalaureate degrees.

The Statement of Need document addresses six areas:

• Relationship to institutional role, mission, and program priorities

• Support of the statewide strategic plans

• Employer/community demand for graduates with baccalaureate level of education proposed in the program

• Applied baccalaureate programs build from existing professional and technical degree program offered by the institution

• Student demand for program within service area

• Efforts to maximize state resources to serve place-bound students

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 Priorities?

The State Board goals are “designed to raise education attainment, open more doors to education–particularly for our fast-growing adult population–and build upon our tradition of excellence.” Colleges offering applied baccalaureate degrees meet the needs of changing economies by increasing the number of skilled employees in the areas of greatest need. Through applied baccalaureate degrees, colleges create greater access to higher education by enrolling underserved populations, particularly place-bound working adults, and ensure community and technical colleges are affordable and accessible for students. The following three goals are addressed through the approval process of applied baccalaureate degree programs:

• Promoting student achievement and success by increasing the number of applied baccalaureate degrees conferred;

• Increasing access to post-secondary education by enrolling more underrepresented, first generation and adult students, active military, veterans and their dependents, and develop means to attract former students needing credits for degrees, certificates, or credentials;

• Building on the system’s strength and successes by ensuring balance among mission areas: basic skills, workforce, transfer and applied baccalaureate.

TAB 6

To date, the State Board has approved 102 applied baccalaureate/baccalaureate degree programs at 29 colleges with students currently enrolled in 92 programs at 28 colleges, 8 proposals are engaged in the approval process, and 13 colleges have expressed interest in 17 additional programs. In 2017-2018, there were 3,142 students enrolled in Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) programs representing approximately 1.8 percent of total enrollments in the college system.

(Attachment A: Applied baccalaureate degree programs)

Background information and analysis

3a) Edmonds Community College – BAS in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials

Edmonds Community College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials beginning fall 2020. The degree was developed based on discussions with Boeing and a way to fill a gap in the labor force that works with composite materials and additive manufacturing. Graduates will demonstrate technical expertise in engineering materials as well as their properties and manufacturing processes; articulate and demonstrate professional integrity through the ability to communicate effectively to a diverse audience; apply the principles of quality, safety, and organizational skills to a manufacturing environment; and utilize knowledge of analysis techniques to evaluate and determine solutions to technical problems. The proposed degree would be Edmonds Community College’s second applied baccalaureate degree.

3b) North Seattle College – BAS in Accounting with International Accounting

North Seattle College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Accounting, with International Accounting, beginning winter 2020 to serve the support businesses, public agencies, and non-profit organizations in all sectors of the economy in the central Puget Sound area. This would be the second applied baccalaureate program in accounting in Washington State (alongside Bellevue College), and would address the area’s long-standing unmet demand for accounting professionals. This proposed degree would bring together theory and practice and prepare graduates to work effectively in positions that require applied accounting skills, build upon the business and accounting associate in applied science degree programs at North Seattle College, and provide accounting content needed for success in the occupation and in preparation for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensure. This proposed degree would be North Seattle College’s fifth applied baccalaureate degree.

3c) Shoreline Community College – BAS in Dental Hygiene

Shoreline Community College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene (BASDH) beginning fall 2020. The degree will help transition students in the associate in applied arts and sciences degree in dental hygiene to the BASDH program. It will reflect the academic standards and credit requirements of the current program, while addressing evolving industry standards for the current workforce needs and increasing job marketability for graduates. BASDH graduates will also be qualified for jobs in areas outside of the typical dental practice such as public health, education, research, leadership, practice management, advocacy, and other dental health and business-related fields. This proposed degree would be Shoreline Community College’s first applied baccalaureate degree.

Potential questions

• Does the college proposal for applied baccalaureate degree meet the vision, mission and goals of their respective college?

• Does the proposed applied baccalaureate degree serve the current and future needs of the colleges’ region and the state?

• Does the proposed applied baccalaureate degree support the State Board for Community and Technical College priorities?

Recommendation/preferred result Staff will provide a brief overview of the applied baccalaureate degree proposals. Board members will have an opportunity to discuss the applied baccalaureate proposals with college representatives in the context of meeting college and system goals.

Applied baccalaureate degree proposals Brief Description

In September 2014, the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges adopted a revised approval process, selection criteria, and application materials for community and technical colleges seeking to offer an applied baccalaureate program. The final step in the approval process requires State Board action on the college’s application to offer the proposed applied baccalaureate degree.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 Priorities?

State Board goals are “designed to raise education attainment, open more doors to education–particularly for our fast-growing adult population–and build upon our tradition of excellence.” Colleges offering applied baccalaureate degrees meet the needs of changing economies by increasing the number of skilled employees in the areas of greatest need. Through this, colleges create greater access to higher education by enrolling underserved populations, particularly place-bound working adults and ensure community and technical colleges are affordable and accessible for students. The following three goals are addressed through the approval process of applied baccalaureate degree programs:

• Promoting student achievement and success by increasing the number of applied baccalaureate degrees conferred.

• Increasing access to post-secondary education by enrolling more underrepresented, first generation and adult students, active military, veterans and their dependents and develop means to attract former students needing credits for degrees, certificates, or credentials.

• Building on the system’s strength and successes by ensuring balance among mission areas: basic skills, workforce, transfer and applied baccalaureate.

Background information and analysis

6a) Edmonds Community College – BAS in Information Technology: Application Development

Edmonds Community College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Technology: Application Development beginning fall 2019. The proposed degree will provide Snohomish and North King County residents with the expertise and academic credentials to be competitive in the regional labor market and build off of the college’s professional technical associate degrees in Computer Information Systems—Web Application and Cloud Developer. Program outcomes include but are not limited to: identifying, evaluating, and creating appropriate software using pertinent algorithms and data structures for the needs of a given enterprise system environment, demonstrating an understanding of software lifecycle, utilizing data analytics to solve complex problems with software development, and combining a foundation of software developer knowledge with soft skills and teamwork to excel in the field of information technology. This proposed degree would be Edmonds Community College’s second applied baccalaureate degree.

6b) Pierce College – BAS in Fire Services Leadership and Management

Pierce College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science in Fire Services Leadership and Management degree beginning fall 2019. Building off the college’s associate in applied science degrees in Fire Command Administration and Homeland Security and Emergency Management, the degree will be designed to support the goals and objectives of the U.S. Fire Administration and FEMA to provide fire service professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to progress on their career pathway into supervisory, management, and administrative positions while meeting the succession planning needs of the sector. At the bachelor’s degree level, the industry focus shifts to operations and risk management where advanced training in the increasingly important concepts and contextual studies of leadership, organizational analysis, strategic thinking, risk management, and public policy become paramount. This proposed degree would be Pierce College’s third applied baccalaureate degree.

6c) Wenatchee Valley College – BAS in Data Analytics

Wenatchee Valley College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science in Data Analytics degree beginning fall 2019. After consulting with regional industry partners, neighboring higher education partners, and surveying employers, the college determined that adding a Baccalaureate of Applied Science in Data Analytics (BAS-DA) was essential to serve the educational and workforce needs of the region. As an emerging field, data analytics refers to collecting, identifying, and interpreting both qualitative and quantitative data. This data can be used to inform industry related to productivity, or other business decisions, and also inform researchers to prove or disprove theories and hypotheses. Information systems, applied statistics, management science, data analysis, and computer technology will all be key components of the proposed degree. This proposed degree would be Wenatchee Valley College’s third applied baccalaureate degree.

6d Whatcom Community College – BAS in Applied Business Management

Whatcom Community College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Business Management degree beginning fall 2019. Building off Whatcom Community College’s current associate of science degree in Business Administration, the proposed applied baccalaureate degree prepares students for the workforce needs of a variety of growing small to medium-sized businesses which make up the majority of Whatcom County’s employer community. The degree will also serve budding entrepreneurs who wish to stay and grow their businesses in the local region. Graduates will demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of issues related to human resources; exhibit analytical and critical thinking skills applicable to management of a business or industry; utilize technology and computer software applications needed to function in today’s highly technological business environment; and employ an understanding of financial, accounting, and statistical applications needed to make and evaluate decisions. This proposed degree would be Whatcom Community College’s second applied baccalaureate degree.

Best employment practices for part-time faculty

Brief Description On March 23, 2017 the State Board adopted Resolution 17-03-22, intending to improve student outcomes through continued support of the best practice principles for the employment of part-time/adjunct faculty. The resolution stated, in part, “. . . the State Board shall convene and facilitate a workgroup that includes faculty, faculty union representatives and college administrators to draft collective bargaining language reflecting the best practice principles that local bargainers may use in their negotiations.”

The workgroup, established by the resolution, identified a gap in the “best practice principles” and is recommending that an additional principle addressing diversity, equity and inclusion be added.

In this item, the State Board will be asked to act upon that recommendation.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 Priorities?

Improving salaries and working conditions helps retain and attract the talent needed to improve outcomes for students, businesses and our state economy. This investment in resources provides a learning environment that meets the education needs of our students and provides a workforce that addresses employment trends in our business communities.

The increased focus on equity and inclusion helps diversify staff, leading to more success for students of color.

Background information and analysis Working with stakeholder groups, the workgroup called for in the resolution was established in July 2017. It conducted its first meeting in August 2017, and continued to meet approximately monthly through October 2018.

The workgroup reviewed language in faculty collective bargaining agreements to compile a library of existing contract language specific to each of the ten principles identified in the resolution. The resulting report retains these principles and adds an eleventh related to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Continued progress on implementation of the best practices will primarily occur through local bargaining. These examples are offered as references or starting points for local labor and management bargainers.

A five-member panel representing college administrators, AFT and WEA presented the 2019 “Best Employment Practices for Part-Time Faculty” report to the State Board during a study session

Page 97: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

TAB 8

conducted on March 27, 2019. As directed in Resolution 17-03-22, the workgroup compiled a library of existing contract language considered best employment practices specific to the ten principles.

This report also proposed an eleventh principle specific to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), which supports the commitment championed by the State Board, and the presidents and chancellors of Washington’s 34 community and technical colleges to mitigate barriers to equity in Washington community and technical colleges. The recommended new principle is copied below and is inserted as the tenth principle in the newly proposed resolution:

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. The Washington Community and Technical Colleges are committed to advancing inclusive excellence by promoting equitable policies and practices to dismantle systemic barriers created by oppression, power, and privilege in order to build and sustain institutions that ensure students’ success and honor the unique identity and lived experiences of our diverse community.

Potential questions • What is the State Board’s role in encouraging college districts to use the best practice report

in decisions effecting part-time faculty?

Recommendation/preferred result The report provided in March 2019 provided Board members with a better understanding of employment issues related to part-time faculty.

The Best Practices workgroup has completed their assignment and is requesting adoption of Resolution 19-05-23. Policy Manual change Yes ☐ No ☒

Seattle Central College air rights lease for student housing

Brief Description

Seattle Colleges District is seeking approval to lease property rights to a non-profit for construction, maintenance, and operation of student housing on the Seattle Central College campus.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 priorities? Providing student housing is consistent with the State Board’s goal to advocate for resources that support college enrollment.

Background information and analysis At the State Board’s March 27, 2019 meeting, Seattle Central College presented their plan to have a non-profit entity construct student housing above their existing parking garage at 1609 Harvard Avenue.

The plan is for the college to condo minimize the property to separate the existing parking garage from the air space above it. Certain improvements will also be made to the existing structure to accommodate the development above. As owner of all community and technical college property, the State Board will own both condominium units (the parking garage and the air space above it) and will authorize a lease of the air rights to the non-profit for a term not to exceed 35 years. The college will enter into a public-private partnership with a non-profit corporation that will obtain financing and contract with a developer to build the facility. The developer will pay prevailing wages for the construction of the facility even though the construction is not public work. The non-profit will then maintain and operate the facility for the term of the financing. This arrangement does not constitute financing by the state.

On February 20, 2018, the Seattle Colleges’ Board of Trustees requested the State Board approve a real property lease to support this plan.

The following summarizes the request relative to the in Chapter 6 Appendix D of its policy manual:

• Appropriateness of the facility or activity, its uses and its users, for the requesting college. Increasing the availability of housing for students supports the role, mission and purpose of the community and technical college system and the local college by increasing enrollment, retention and completion. On-campus housing supports three primary goals in each college's master plan: student success; equity, diversity and inclusion; and organizational excellence. Building student housing above the parking garage is part of the 2018 update to the college’s Major Institution Master Plan and makes efficient use of scarce land on the main campus. The housing will be offered first to Seattle Central students and then students at other colleges. The college’s feasibility study has demonstrated the need and viability of the project.

Page 102: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

2

• Appropriateness of the proposed facility or activity for the community. The community’s need for more housing would be addressed by providing housing for students. The college has presented the plans for on-campus student housing to its Standing Advisory Committee for the Major Institution Master Plan, as well as with the local chamber of commerce and business, Capitol Hill Eco district and other community groups. The proposal has received universal support.

• The benefits and obligations of the college (the state) under this proposal. The annual cost of providing services to the students related to the proposals will be identified and dedicated by the college from local resources. The college will have limited control over the operation or the improvements for the term of the air rights lease while its partner will provide the housing primarily to students enrolled in the college that are between 18-24 years of age.

The facility will be operated by a private property management specializing in on-campus student housing. The management will include an annual maintenance budget and reserves for major capital repairs and replacement in the future. Upon the expiration of the air rights lease the improvements will, by operation of law, become the property of the State Board.

The development will comply with city of Seattle Building Code; design and quality standards of modern market-rate apartments.

• Requirements for facilities constructed on state owned property by an entity other than the college for subsequent donation to or for use by the college. The college will establish the program specifications of the facility. All liability for design and construction rests with the non-profit corporation and its contracted developer and development team. Prevailing wage rates will be paid for the construction labor. The developer will require a payment and performance bond of the General Contractor and all subcontractors. All design professionals and contractors will be required to carry errors and omissions insurance policies with the college as a named beneficiary.

The condominium declaration will give the housing project the right to construct the piers and shear walls which penetrate into the lower garage unit. Those improvements will be integral to the housing project and will provide an ancillary benefit to the garage unit (i.e. bringing it up to the current seismic code requirements). The seismic improvements to the garage constitute a prepayment of ground lease rent from the nonprofit corporation to the college with the effect of extending the useful life of the garage. The State Board will retain ownership of the garage as a separate unit under the condominium declaration.

• Financial or programmatic advantages that would be gained by the college and state. The college used a national request for proposals to gather qualifications and select a development partner. The college also used national request for proposals to select a student housing demand consultant, as well as independent construction and owner's representative to validate the cost estimate and proposed timeline. The college retained a seismic engineering and design firm to validate garage load bearing capacity.

In addition to the student benefit of more housing options, the college will receive the income from the student housing net of operating and repair costs and necessary reserves. This income will allow the college to pursue other program and capital plans. The parking garage will continue to be available to college students and staff as it is today.

During the college March presentation of the plan, the State Board had several questions and some required additional preparation by the college to answer.

• Will there be a third-party review of the financials including the college financial benefit, tenant mix and market rates? The college contracted with a third-party to review the pro forma, development proposal and student housing demand study including information on unit mix, floor plans, pricing and project timeline from the developer. The review compared the project to industry norms and provide an independent evaluation of the pro forma and the financial model. See attachment A.

• What assurance do we have that the partner, or its role, will continue for the term of the lease? The proposed air rights lease requires prevailing wage to be paid for construction and payment and performance bonds be obtained for the general contractor and select subcontractors. The non-profit’s failure to properly fulfill its obligations will constitute a default under the air rights lease. The transaction structure creates significant disincentives for, and protections against, such a default. See attachment B.

• What is the plan for improvements to the garage? The improvements to the garage will be paid for by the non-profit corporation and were estimated in 2018 to cost $13 million. The condominium declaration will assign to the upper unit (i.e. the student housing project) the air columns needed to install piers and shear walls to support the housing. Construction of the piers and shear walls will be bid as part of the development of the housing project and will be the responsibility of the developer, not the college.

• How will the property be divided so we can keep the parking garage and the developer can get a lease for the air rights? With the help of a special attorney general for real estate, the college has a plan to condo minimize the property. This is also described in attachment B.

In attachment C, the college’s attorney general has provided an opinion that the project is not public work. The Treasurer’s office has said the plan does not constitute state financing and they will review the final proposed ground lease and related documents before they are signed.

Potential questions Is the air rights lease and resultant student housing consistent with the State Board’s goal to advocate for resources that support college enrollment?

Recommendation/preferred result Staff recommends approval of Resolution 19-05-24 giving the State Board’s executive director the authority to enter into an air rights lease with a term not to exceed 35 years on behalf of the Seattle Central College with a non-profit corporation for the development of student housing above the parking garage at 1609 Harvard Avenue on the Seattle Central College campus, subject to review of the documents by the State Treasurer’s office to verify they do not constitute state financing.

Seattle Central College Student Housing Initial Findings Memorandum DATE: April 17, 2019 FROM: Ann Volz, Project Executive, Advisory Services Ted Risher, Project Executive, Advisory Services

Pete Hofman, Project Analyst, Advisory Services The Scion Group TO: Lincoln Ferris, Consultant to the College Background

Scion was engaged by Mr. Ferris on April 11, 2019 to provide a professional opinion on the feasibility of a proposed student housing project currently being planned at Seattle Central College (the “College”) in partnership with Hanover Pacific LLC (the “Developer”). In the intervening time since Scion’s official engagement, we have solicited and received project information from Mr. Ferris and the Developer to assist us in the determination for which we were tasked. What follows is a high-level summary of our findings to date and recommendations for proceeding to a formal determination by the date of the next Seattle Colleges District Board of Trustees meeting on May 2, 2019.

Findings to Date

Scion has conducted a high-level review of the materials provided by Mr. Ferris and the Developer. These materials include building plans, engineering reports, garage costing estimates, a bond underwriting synopsis, the Housing Feasibility Study, a Power Point summary dated November 29, 2018 of pre-development research, and a project pro forma that was provided to the Developer by an underwriter with whom it periodically conducts business. To inform an objective analysis, Scion placed Developer assumptions garnered from these materials into its own proprietary model to conduct sensitivity analyses and identify potential areas of strengths and weakness.

In general, with the information provided so far, Scion has determined that a viable project is achievable given the assumptions provided by the Developer. Rents and revenue appear conservative; although, Scion has not contrasted these with competing products in the market area and has not seen a full market study to substantiate this. Operating cost assumptions, which appear to be approximately $3,600/bed/year are on the high end for similar projects Scion has worked on over the course of the past year. Financing assumptions seem in line with Scion’s benchmarks. The 30-year bond amortization period could potentially be lengthened to achieve the necessary debt service coverage requirements (usually a 1.20 in the 2nd year after unutilized capitalized interest funds are returned to the College) and/or lower rents. In its current state, Scion’s model produces adequate coverage for the bonds. Scion needs more information to confirm the validity of these findings, but its initial feedback is that the project is feasible.

Additional Required Data

Scion needs to see a more complete development pro forma from the Developer that combines all assumptions regarding capital cost, financing terms, timing, and cash flow projections to make a final determination. Primarily we need a cost estimate for the entire project from the Developer’s general contractor or a qualified cost estimator or construction management company. We understand that the guaranteed maximum price (“GMP”) cost is not available at this time and that project costs are subject to change over the course of the predevelopment period, but

Page 105: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

5

this, combined with a more detailed sources and uses from the Developer, is vital to ascertaining whether the conceived $60M+ bond issuance is sufficient to cover all project hard, soft, and financing costs.

Conclusion

Currently Scion believes this project to be feasible but needs more detailed information from the Developer to substantiate this professional opinion. Generally, Scion prefers to make conservative assumptions in its project underwriting to create bulwarks against market fluctuations and unforeseen credit issues. This increases the likelihood that institutional clients like the College will not have to extend guarantees or contingent liabilities to close the project off their balance sheet and in a credit positive manner. As Scion moves forward with this engagement and on to a more detailed report for the Board of Trustees, these are the principles we will adhere to in providing a final evaluation for this development opportunity.

MEMORANDUM

April 24, 2019

TO: Derek Edwards, Senior Counsel, Education Division Office of the Attorney General of Washington

FROM: Thomas E. Dixon

RE: Summary of Protections Provided Within Air Rights Lease Structure

I have been engaged as a Special Assistant Attorney General because of my transactional real estate expertise. In that role I have been asked to provide the following summary of the protections provided to Seattle Central College under the proposed air rights lease, and within the larger deal structure, for the new 450-unit student housing facility to be constructed above the College’s parking garage on its main Capitol Hill campus.

The current parking garage property will become part of a new two-unit condominium: one unit will consist of the existing parking garage, the other will consist of the air rights above the parking garage. Both units will at all times be owned by the College through the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. The College will then enter into a long-term lease of the air rights unit (the “Air Rights Lease”) to a 501(c)(3) entity (the “Tenant”). The Tenant will be responsible for constructing the housing facility and operating it after completion.

This condominium ownership structure affords a couple protections to the College. First, the parking garage remains a separate legal parcel and will be unaffected by any financing or mechanics liens related to the new development. Second, the property rights acquired by the Tenant, and the property it will offer as collateral for its construction financing, will consist only of its leasehold interest under the Air Rights Lease. The College’s ownership interest in the air rights unit will never be encumbered by the Tenant’s project financing. Thus in a worst case scenario a lender would foreclose and become the tenant under the Air Rights Lease, but the College’s ownership of the air rights unit would remain unaffected.

The Air Rights Lease is similar to what is commonly known as a ground lease in that the Tenant, as opposed to the landlord, will own the improvements being constructed, in this case the student housing facility. With that structure, the consequences of a Tenant default and resulting lease termination are enormous: not only does the Tenant lose its right to occupy the facility, it loses its ownership of, and entire investment in, the improvements.

With those high stakes, the Tenant is extra-vigilant about complying with the terms of the lease, but so also is the Tenant’s lender (in this case the trustee representing the bondholders). As a result, the Air Rights Lease provides extensive cure rights in favor of the lender to remedy any default by the Tenant, and if necessary to step in as a replacement tenant under the Air Rights Lease. Thus a second wave of security is provided against a Tenant default: if the Tenant doesn’t cure the default itself, the lender is highly motivated to do so. Possible defaults by the Tenant range from the failure to properly construct or operate the housing facility to the filing of bankruptcy.

If, despite those protections, the Air Rights Lease is terminated, the College becomes the owner of the new improvements at no cost, which is not a bad result.

The greatest risk for any development project occurs during the construction period. Under the Air Rights Lease the Tenant is solely responsible for all construction obligations. To secure those obligations, the Air Rights Lease requires the Tenant to obtain payment and performance bonds for the project general contractor and selected subcontractors. Each of the Tenant’s lender and, secondarily, the College will receive a collateral assignment of the construction contract and all other construction-related agreements so either may take over the project if the Tenant fails to perform. The lender and the College will be named as additional obligees under the payment and performance bond so they may draw on those bonds if necessary.

Once the project is completed and operating, the College remains involved in reviewing and approving annual budgets and facility operating procedures. The Air Rights Lease also grants the College the right at any time after the 3rd anniversary of substantial completion of the facility to replace the Tenant/operator with a new tenant/operator designated by the College.

The Air Rights Lease provides that any liability of the College thereunder is limited to its interest in the air rights unit, and no recourse is available to any other assets of the College.

We have also been advised that the Tenant will be controlled by a 5-person board of directors. Two of those directors will be selected by the single nonprofit LLC member of the Tenant, two will be selected by the College, and the third will be a local community representative recommended by the College. The College will thus retain a significant influence over the Tenant’s operations.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this.

REGULAR ITEM (RESOLUTION 19-05-25) May 2, 2019

Tab 10

Centralia College ground lease for training facility

Brief Description

Centralia College District is seeking approval to lease property rights to the Centralia College Foundation for construction, maintenance, and operation of a training building on Centralia College campus.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 priorities? Providing training for pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship, and the existing workforce is consistent with the State Board’s mission and additional resources are needed to meet the state's post-secondary attainment goals and workforce needs.

Background information and analysis The plan is for the college to lease approximately 0.5 acres on the Centralia College campus to the Centralia College Foundation to construct, maintain and operate a training building. The Foundation has already obtained funding for construction of the facility. The leased ground would be adjacent to the Technical Center of the college, where the college’s diesel and welding programs are currently located. There will be cross training opportunities with the diesel (machine maintenance and operation) and welding (millwright and assembly), where college equipment and faculty can be leveraged in program offerings. The location on the western area of campus allows for delivery of program equipment and supplies with minimal disruption of traditional campus programs. See campus map for proposed location in attachment A.

On April 11, 2019, Centralia College’s Board of Trustees authorized college administration to negotiate this ground lease with the Centralia College Foundation and present it to the State Board for approval to support this plan.

The following summarizes the request relative to the in Chapter 6 Appendix D of its policy manual:

Appropriateness of the facility or activity, its uses and its users, for the requesting college

This ground lease will be for a period of 20 years with Centralia College’s long term partner, the Centralia College Foundation. The foundation’s purpose is to support the mission of Centralia College. The Foundation provides a critical link to the college’s economic development, local employers, and K12 partners in the community. These partners have indicated a need for space to provide on-demand, industry specific training as well as short-term training for potential employers looking to locate to the area. The region also needs a facility for training specific to certificates to fulfill articulated curriculum agreements with local high schools. While the college can meet some of these needs, the Foundation has secured funding that will provide a facility for employers (current and prospective) to provide company-specific training on a schedule not conducive to current college programs and schedules. The outcome will be a facility that is available to be rented by the college, K12 partners, governmental organizations, and the private sector for education and training needs. A

TAB 10

rental schedule will be established providing tiers to the college, K12, governmental organizations, and the private sector with the goal of providing overall education and training opportunities for the region.

Local training needs in the trades and pre-apprenticeship areas are not being met, primarily due to a lack of appropriate space. The proposed project will create flexible space and associated infrastructure for training construction, assembly, and machine operation skills. The college currently does not have space available to meet these local needs, nor the resources to construct one.

In addition, The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction has increased efforts to offer Career and Technical Education (CTE) curriculum and the college has articulated many of those courses with its K12 partners. However, the lack of space suitable for construction skills (i.e. framing, plumbing, electrical, machine and equipment operation) is an obstacle to offering training for these trades and pre-apprenticeships. Also, in the past, potential employers to the area have inquired about assembly training, and the need to train hundreds of workers before plant openings. While the college was prepared to assist in the requested training, adequate space was not immediately available.

One of the objectives in the college strategic plan is to expand Workforce Education offerings to include the trades and pre-apprenticeship training. This involves partnerships with K12, current and potential employers, local trade unions and governmental agencies. The proposed ground lease and subsequent construction of a training facility will support this objective by providing a facility with flexible scheduling for the desired training. Located on the campus grounds would also allow for effective leveraging of current faculty and staff needed to deliver the required training and education.

This facility will support flexible scheduling and programming.

Typical of most college campuses, the vast majority of the teaching space at Centralia College is scheduled for short periods daily throughout an academic quarter. This type of scheduling is not conducive to offering all-day training for employers who want their staff to complete training in a block by attending all day instead of spread out over an academic quarter. Certificate training can also be accomplished in a shorter, more condensed time frame which would meet the needs of many worker retraining students. In the event of a large scale employer moving into the area, training can be planned to encompass large blocks of time, making it more attractive to locate into the area.

To support many types of programs, the building will be a commercial style facility, with roll up doors, high walls and ceilings, and several basic classrooms. This will accommodate a wide range of workforce education needs, ranging from robotics, construction trades, first aid/CPR, to equipment maintenance and operation. Combined with the existing college facilities that house diesel, welding and nursing assistant programs, it will be an effective opportunity for instruction.

While the availability for use will be open to rent by a wide range of users, it is anticipated that the majority of training will be either delivered or supported by the college

In preparation for this project, and as part of the foundation grant application, college and foundation staff have met with the K12 partners, local union representatives, representatives of the state Labor Council, Department of Labor and Industries Apprenticeship Programs, and employers to conceptualize how the space will be used. All are in full support of this much needed facility to address local needs.

In addition, the college’s newly approved mission statement identifies “supporting our community” as a strategic core theme. This facility would allow the college to support the community by facilitating partnerships among the Centralia College Foundation, local businesses, K-12 CTE programs, and organized labor. These

Page 113: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

TAB 10

3

activities largely fall outside of the for-credit, quarterly schedule model in which the college offers most of its programs.

The college has explored alternative methods to meet these training needs and found the only comparable space on campus houses the diesel and welding programs which are filled to capacity, and using them to meet the needs addressed by this proposal would displace a large number of students.

Appropriateness of the proposed facility or activity for the community

The college is a vital economic development partner linking employers with K12 districts, workforce education and worker retraining programs. The need for skilled workers in the trades and pre-apprenticeship type occupations is a barrier in locating employers with family wage jobs with benefit packages, which in turn stifles the economic advancement of the region.

This proposed facility has received full support from the local K12 districts, which also cannot offer the full range of CTE programs needed for its students. However, combining students from multiple schools will allow for sufficient enrollments to offer a range of courses. In addition, the leaders of the Economic Development Council and the local port districts are in full support of establishing a regional training center in order to attract quality employers to the area.

See attachment B for letters of support from local employers and K12 districts that are in full support of this project. In addition, the Centralia College Foundation Board of Directors, composed of a broad range of community members, felt the impact to the region was important enough that they pledged $200,000 to the project. Finally, the TransAlta Coal Transition Grant Committee, has awarded a $1.3 million grant to the Foundation for this project. Due to these donations, the project will not require any debt by the college or its partners.

The Foundation will assume the risk of operation and provide insurance on the property. Maintenance and utility costs for this facility will depend on use which in turn is tied directly to rental revenues. The Foundation has already had inquiries from local employers for access to the proposed facility.

Since the property proposed for the ground lease is state property, there is no impact to the local tax base. Currently there is not a facility in the college’s service district to deliver the educational and training services being proposed, nor is one being considered. The goal of this project is to promote a higher trained workforce in order to improve the economic conditions of the region.

The benefits and obligations of the college (the state) under this proposal

A draft of the ground lease is in attachment C. The final contract will include the following terms:

The ongoing obligations of the college related to this proposal will be limited to providing access to the facility on its campus. The Foundation will be responsible for insurance, utilities, maintenance, and the operations of the building.

The college is not responsible for maintaining the facilities in general and would only be responsible for any portion it rents consistent with standard lease practices. Utility costs will be included in the rent charged by the Foundation. When the college rents space in the building, the funds necessary will come from its operating budget, where all rental and leases are currently paid.

The Foundation will have control over the facility and is in agreement with the college that the primary purpose is to support education, training, and economic development.

Page 114: STATE BOARD MEETING AGENDA - SBCTC · However, it is about much more than new software. ctcLink is an unprecedented business transformation project for all 34 colleges and the State

TAB 10

4

Scheduling of the facility will be the responsibility of the Foundation, in coordination with the college for the times and spaces rented for college programing. Actual hours of use will be determined based on the needs of the college, K12 partners, community, and economic development partners.

The primary purpose of this facility is to provide education and training for a wide range of partners. This list would include the college, K12 partners, governmental agencies, labor unions, and employers.

The ground lease will include a requirement for the Foundation to keep the building in good repair throughout the term of the lease.

The Foundation, as the owner and operator of the building will be responsible to maintain the facility to meet the types of use described above. Any party requiring specific modifications for their use will need to negotiate that with the Foundation. However, based on the flexible design of the facility, and the intent to operate in that fashion, this should be a rare occurrence.

With input from the users, the Foundation will be responsible for any reuse and/or reconfiguration of the facility for the duration of the ground lease

The Foundation will be responsible for code compliance, specifications, and construction within the footprint of the ground lease. Design will be finalized with input from the anticipated users. The college will be responsible for preparing the ground lease site for the construction of the facility, has set aside funding for this purpose and the work will be done in compliance with state public work and funding rules.

Requirements for facilities constructed on state owned property by an entity other than the college for subsequent donation to or for use by the college

The Foundation, its developer, and the college will agree on their respective limits of liability in the design and construction process. Liability insurance similar to that provided on similarly sized public work projects will be required to protect the state.

The Foundation has consulted with the college on general layout of the facility, but since this building will be primarily a large flexible commercial/industrial style structure, the design elements are minimal.

If the terms are acceptable to the State Board, the draft ground lease will be negotiated by college administration and undergo final review by the Attorney General’s office and the Office of the State Treasurer.

A 20-year ground lease will be executed by the State Board on behalf of the college so the Foundation can make the improvements and operate the facility.

The Foundation, College and City of Centralia have a long history of working together on capital projects, and will continue to do so on this project. The Foundation will require prevailing wages to be paid for all construction labor. The Foundation will hold ten percent of the bid amount for potential claims and require a performance bond from the developer, if deemed necessary by the State Board’s Executive Director and the office of the Attorney General.

The Foundation is required to remove the improvements at the end of the ground lease, unless otherwise allowed to remain, at the State Board’s discretion.

The overall nature of the facility is based on flexibility and the capability to change interior spaces to meet a wide variety of training uses, for the College and other organizations and businesses. The College has provided guidance based on needs when they will be using it and the basic configuration allows for that.

Financial or programmatic advantages that would be gained by the college and state

The Foundation will have a rental contract program geared toward shorter rental periods, which will allow maximum scheduling flexibility. While overall maintenance will be the responsibility of the Foundation, program-specific needs will be the responsibility of the renter.

The Foundation will be responsible for the construction costs and ongoing insurance, operating and maintenance costs. The college’s liability will be typical of operating programs in rented facilities.

Both the college and Foundation have reviewed their respective risks and responsibilities, and request the ground lease from the State Board so they can move ahead with this project.

Potential questions Is the ground lease and resultant facility and training consistent with the State Board’s goal to advocate for resources that support college enrollment?

Recommendation/preferred result Staff recommends approval of Resolution 19-05-25 giving its executive director authority to approve a 20-year ground lease with the Centralia College Foundation, a non-profit corporation, for the development of a training facility on the Centralia College campus.

April 16, 2019

I am writing to express my support for Centralia College’s expansion of technical career pathways. Centralia College is continuously adjusting their program offerings to align with local economic needs, technical education. The college works closely with the local CTE director to propose, create, and implement new programs at the high school, which articulate with program offerings at Centralia College. This offers our students the best opportunity to pursue post-secondary education based on their interests and industry need. We value this support and collaboration here in Centralia School District. Their current strategy to create a pathway for post high school students, that would not otherwise pursue post-secondary education, demonstrates their commitment to the local community, educational, and economic needs. Centralia College’s desire to expand their facilities to include a dedicated CTE Center while they adapt and create new curriculum to reach these goals exhibits their commitment to meet the needs of our community, as well as students in their career goals. The development of such a center will benefit our community, new students recently graduating and those who are looking to get back into the workforce. Aligning these offerings with local Career, Technical and Education programs in Centralia School District creates pathways for students who have a strong interest in these particular fields. I support these endeavors and believe that by being part of the decision making process is beneficial to both institutions. Sincerely,

Monique D Dayton Monique Dayton, CFCS Centralia School District CTE Director

Such insurance shall be in form and with deductibles reasonably satisfactory to the College and Ground Lessee. The Ground Lessee shall be the insured and such policy shall be primary and non-contributory to any coverage maintained by the College.

Any proceeds of such insurance shall be applied to all expenses associated with the restoration of the Premises so long as the proceeds, together with other funds provided by Ground Lessee, will be sufficient to pay in full for such restoration.

During the course of construction of the Career and Technical Education Center, Ground Lessee or its general contractor shall keep in place a policy of "builder's risk" insurance fully insuring the replacement value of portions of the constructed Improvements. 12.4 Waiver of Subrogation.

Ground Lessee shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right to recovery by way of subrogation against either the College or Ground Lessor in connection with any such loss or damage.

Damage or Destruction of Premises. 13.1 Ground Lessee's Duties.

If any insurance proceeds shall have been paid by reason of such damage or destruction, Ground Lessee shall be entitled to such proceeds for the purpose of such demolition and/or rebuilding, as set forth in and subject to Section 13.2 hereof. 13.2 College's Rights. If Ground Lessee fails or neglects to supply sufficient workmen or sufficient materials of proper quality, or fails in any other respect to prosecute such work of demolition, restoration, repair, replacement, or rebuilding with diligence and promptness, then the College may give Ground Lessee written notice of such failure or neglect; and if such failure or neglect continues for sixty (60) days after such notice, then the College, in addition to all other rights which the College may have, may at its sole expense enter upon the Real Property, provide labor and materials, cause the performance of any contract, and take such other action as the College may deem necessary, in which event the College shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable costs and expenses out of any insurance proceeds not used by Ground Lessee for any such demolition, restoration, repair, replacement, or rebuilding it has undertaken. 14. Condemnation. If during the Term there is a taking or damaging of all or any portion of the Premises by the exercise of any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a governmental agency with jurisdiction or a transfer by any Party either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending (a "Condemnation") such that there can be no reasonable use of the Premises by Ground Lessee, this Ground Lease shall terminate on the date the governmental agency has the right to possession of the property being condemned. Any award authorized by Title 8 RCW with respect to the taking of the Premises (except for the Improvements) shall belong to the Ground Lessor, and with respect to the Improvements shall belong to the Ground Lessee.

Liability. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, each Party to this Ground Lease shall be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions and those of its officers, employees, and agents. No Party to this Ground Lease shall be responsible for the acts and/or omissions of entities or individuals not a party to this Ground Lease.

REGULAR ITEM May 2, 2019

Tab 11

Legislative Update

Brief Description The board will be updated on 2019 legislative priorities and emerging issues.

How does this item link to the State Board’s 2018-19 priorities? Identifying possible changes to state law that result in improved service delivery to students supports four system goals:

• Enrollment, Completion and Equity: When legislative goals are met, community and technical colleges have the resources to maintain open doors and promote student success to completion. The 2019 operating budget request as well as two bill proposals for review, address access and student success.

• Advocacy: To accomplish the college system legislative goals, State Board members, staff and system leaders are engaged with the legislature and policy makers to support colleges in promoting student success.

Background information and analysis The primary focus entering the 2019 legislative session is the college system’s operating and capital budget requests.

Operating Budget With a focus on competitive compensation for college faculty and staff, funding for Guided Pathways, and programming for high demand workforce needs, the operating budget request provides much needed services to our students and enhance Washington’s community and technical college system’s ability to respond to ever growing and ever changing employer demands in their regions around the state.

Capital Budget The Capital Budget request provides students with high-quality classroom and lab space and places for educational support so they can achieve their goals. Our college system faces a backlog of needed projects which funding of the 2019 request to the legislature would greatly reduce. Overall, the list will fund 37 major projects at 29 colleges and minor projects needed at all 34 colleges.

Policy Issues Statuses are current at the time of this agenda writing on April 23.
