Deficit requests are submitted when there are unanticipated expenditures that arise that were<br />
not covered or considered when the last biennium budget request was prepared. We have not<br />
yet received the instructions and the timeline for this year’s deficit process, however we<br />
anticipate the requests will be due in late October. The Board is asked to approve several<br />
deficit requests for the <strong>Nebraska</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>System</strong>: the ERP software/hardware, utilities,<br />
the federal minimum wage increase, and a Director for the <strong>College</strong> Center at South Sioux City.<br />
The ERP Software/Hardware request was included in the last biennium request. It was during<br />
the biennium process that we learned the current software would no longer be supported after<br />
the year 2011. With the new sunset date, the ERP becomes a critical priority for the NSCS.<br />
The biennium request was for $10 million. The request will continue to be updated and<br />
adjusted as the vendor selection process continues throughout fall, 2007. The request may<br />
also include funding for ongoing maintenance costs increases with the new software and<br />
anticipated staffing needs related to the conversion process as well as on-going support.<br />
The Utility Cost increase requests were not funded by the state in the last biennium budget.<br />
Current estimates of Fiscal 2007-08 utility costs indicate a shortfall of the following amounts:<br />
CSC $<strong>14</strong>8,557<br />
PSC $123,741<br />
WSC $247,353<br />
TOTAL $519,651
