Meeting |
| |
The Miles Community College Board of Trustees approved the
fiscal year 2009 budget in their Monday evening meeting, July
28. This was the second and final reading of the FY '09 budget
and is based on a 410 resident student full-time enrollment
count (FTE) for the 2008-2009 academic year. The approved
unrestricted budget that includes expenses for personnel and
operational costs totals $4,781,257.
In other new business, the College faculty master agreement was
approved by the Board. President Stefani Hicswa praised the
interest based bargaining process used by the MCC faculty
association and College negotiating team and recommended it to
be used in future contractual negotiations. The Miles Community
College faculty contract is approved for the 2008-2009 year
based on the FY '09 budget. A new faculty contract will be
negotiated for 2009-2011 based on state allocated funding from
the 2009 Montana legislature.

Equipment instructor; Rand Selle, Admissions Representative and
