Pictures were given to the board. Mr. Britt Canada presented the enrollment report for fall 2016.
Overall we have good enrollment. Do we have any students in West Hall? We do have students in West Hall, but when an opening comes up in Clinton or Glover they are moved. Dr. Beebe introduced TD Industries. Mr. Mike Bailey is the manager and Cheryl Costello is the business development manager. They are both helping us ease into the transition.
Ms. Patricia Claxton discussed pre-bid for roofing. At the end of May, a hail storm came through Snyder. Nine of our buildings with shingles were affected; the 5 apartments, Dr. Beebe’s house, the two new dorms, and part of the annex. The roofs were 10 years old. Our insurance company inspected all of our buildings. We will bid per building so we could have one company or multiple companies. Dr. Beebe discussed certified values. Due to an error with Oxy Permian by Stephen Campbell, we have an $84 million reduction in values. Larry Crooks sent us this information. We have already approved our budget and tax rate. With our tax rate of 33 cents, we were facing a $1,623,285 million loss. We are now looking for $507,441. Our total loss is $2,130,726 million dollars. We are not sure what we are going to do. There is no recourse in their error of our values. We have never had an error like this. It is very frustrating that there isn’t any recourse. Dr. Beebe will send this information across campus to let everyone know what we are facing. We are desperately trying not to cut positions or reduce salaries. This should not have happened. A September calendar was presented to the Board. There was no information or questions from Board members There were no suggested agenda items from Board members. Dr. Beebe presented the following president’s report:
The scheduled executive session was cancelled. Motion by Mr. Richburg, seconded by Mr. Bullard to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Date of next regular board meeting – October 10, 2016 |
