The Audit Committee meeting focused on the Deferred Maintenance Audit Plan, which is a report item requiring no immediate action. Discussions centered on tracking progress within the Deferred Maintenance Program, which addresses chronic underfunding issues dating back to 2019 and 2020. Presentations detailed current financial allocations for deferred maintenance from 2020 to 2024 ($45 million below target) and the proposed 2025 plan ($26 million budget). Key performance indicators for the program include limiting emergency repairs to under 15% of the total budget. Committee members sought clarification on how funds are tracked across different fiscal years and how priorities (ranging from critical deficiencies to enhancements) are determined based on the 2019 Facilities Condition Assessment. Following this, the Academic and Student Affairs Committee meeting convened to discuss the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) update.
