Other miscellaneous revenues may be deposited into the IRA fund. However, be advised that the spending restrictions of the IRA fund will govern the use of those funds.

For your reference, the following is the California Education Code Section 89230 citation .

"Instructionally related activities" means those activities and laboratory experiences that are at least partially sponsored by an academic discipline or department and that are, in the judgment of the president of a particular campus, with the approval of the trustees , integrally related to its formal instructional offerings.

April 24, 2014

TO: Dr. Rollin C. Richmond, President

FROM: Joan Tyson, Associated Students General Manage

RE: I

2014-15 Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) R commended Budget

Enclosed for your approval is the 2014-15 Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) budget and budget language as recommended by the IRA Committee. This budget is based on our current fee structure which is $32.16 per student Fall and Spring semesters. Also included in the budget is an allocation from the IRA Reserve in the amount of $78,000. The current balance in reserves is approximately $315,000 and the Committee is intentionally spending it down. Based on an annualized headcount target of 8,229 fee paying students, our total budget for the year is $591,000.

There are some changes in the 2014-15 budget language and budget from the current year. Among them are as follows:

• Forestry Conclave-Western Regional Conference will be hosting the event in Humboldt County this year. These funds will be used for registration and supplies and services for hosting the event.

• Sport Clubs was allocated additional funds to further assist with out-of-pocket expenses these students incur to participate.

• Currently, several courses offered by Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (CCAT) are undergoing a transition so they are without a course designation. Organic Gardening, Green Building, Herbalism, and Lost Arts of Living/Homesteading, are being proposed by the Environmental Science Department to be moved from the temporary spedal topics course numbering to their own unique course numbers. This will make them stronger and better structures in the future . However, after careful review of the program requirements, the IRA Committee recommends this program continues to receive funding during this transition. The goals of the program remain the same. Your approval of this guideline exception is also necessary.

• Campus Food Security Program is a new IRA Program. The IRA funds are for partial support and development of a program to be launched in 2014-15. The specific breakdown in expenditures is still being detennined as this will be a "team effort"

requiring commitment and support from multiple campus departments . The IRA Committee was supportive of providing this flexibility to the program and the funds allocated will be used for supplies and services that are consistent with IRA funding objectives and guidelines. Due to this uncertainty, the AS General Manager will coordinate approval of the expenditure plan of these program funds with the Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs .

We look forward to your approval of the Instructionally Related Activities 2014-15 budget. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at extension 5410 or j [email protected].
