Kirtland Community College Finance Committee Meeting Minutes
The meeting addressed several key financial and programmatic items. Discussion included the review of an RFP for audit services, where three proposals were received and a review committee was established to make a recommendation. Funding for the gun range project was noted to be largely covered by a grant. The First Quarter Financial Review as of September 30, 2025, showed higher cash and investments compared to the previous year, driven by increased student payments, although property tax receipts were lower. Operating expenses were up, primarily due to increased salary and benefits costs, and planned software purchases. A significant proposal involved the potential deactivation of the Wood Science Technology Program due to low enrollment and the initiation of a partnership with Michigan State University to offer an Associate of Applied Science in Forest Technology by fall 2026.
