TO:	  Members of the Board of Trustees	

FROM:  	  Nancy L. Zimpher, Chancellor

SUBJECT: 	Approval of Community College Capital Project 
                      Budgets � Hard Dollar

�
	I recommend that the Board of Trustees adopt the following resolutions:
    
		BROOME COMMUNITY COLLEGE

	Resolved that the capital budget for Broome Community College, State�s share in the amount of $250,000 of the total capital cost of $500,000 for the Gas Line Replacement Project, being in accordance with Chapter 53 of the Laws of 2009, be, and hereby is, approved.

	ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

	Resolved that the capital budget for Orange County Community College, State�s share in the amount of $19,000 of the total capital cost of $38,000 for the Power Distribution Upgrade Project, being in accordance with Chapter 53 of the Laws of 2009, be, and hereby is, approved.


Background

	The resolutions authorize the State�s one-half share of the capital costs of the community college projects described in the resolutions.  The State�s one-half share will be funded by State hard-dollar appropriations, and not by the proceeds of bonds issued by the Dormitory Authority of the State of 
New York.

	Projects may be substitutions for projects previously approved by the Board of Trustees and are authorized pursuant to Chapter 53 of the Laws of 2009 which appropriates funds for the State�s share of the cost of all projects.  A resolution by each local sponsor which authorizes the local share of project costs has been received for each project.
