For your information and review is a copy of the preliminary FY 2022-2023 Operating Budget (Building Block) Request. This draft list is a compilation of the budget needs and represents the current and immediate priorities of the College. The budget is based on input from the Strategic Planning process, departmental advisory committees, instructional departments, and administrative analysis. Some “trimming” of this list may occur by the commissioner’s office and/or the Utah Board of Higher Education. Still, it represents the best analysis of business and industry demand concerning the College’s ability to implement the request during the coming months. Adjustments to this request may occur as Bridgerland responds to the direction from the Board along with any additional guidance or direction that might come from the Legislature and/or the commissioner. When approved by the Utah Board of Higher Education, this request will be forwarded to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget and the Office of the Legislative Fiscal Analyst on its way to consideration during the next General Session of the Utah State Legislature.

Handout(s): FY 2022-2023 Operating Budget Request, Equipment Request

ACTION: Recommend approval of the FY 2022-2023 Budget Request, including permission to update the request when guidance from the commissioner and/or the Utah Board of Higher Education is available.

Item 10

Property Title Change

Chad Campbell, President

Utah Code Title 53B Chapter 2 Section 101 became effective July 1, 2017, which made Bridgerland Technical College “bodies politic and corporate with perpetual succession and with all rights, and franchises necessary to function as such.” It further states, “an institution of higher education may have and use a corporate seal and may, subject to this title, take, hold, lease, sell and convey real and personal property as the interest of the institution requires.” Pursuant to that language, Bridgerland Technical College needs to transfer the title of its existing real property from the previous name and governing authorities into its own name. Following advice and recommendation from the assistant attorney general assigned to provide legal advice to the technical colleges, the authority to sign the title transfer documents may be granted by the Board of Trustees to the president of the College.

ACTION: Recommend approval of granting authority to sign the title transfer documents in the name of Bridgerland Technical College to the president of the College.
