The 17,210 FTE students which the appropri ati on is intended to serve is an increase

A change in the appropriation format has been made to separate veterinary

medicine instruction from the genera l university, and include it instead with

the animal hospital appropriations. Resident instruction professional staff

increase to 996.3 FTE, a variance from the formula of 10.0 positions for research

administration. Compensation increases are 6.0%. The support staff increase,

and operating expense and learning mate rials decreases result from systemwide

comparisons of these items. In Organized Research, 2.6 FTE are funded to continue

the weather modification program. 1 .3 FTE are provided for the programs funded

under Public Service. Funding for the Science Motivation program is continued

within these appropriations. Rentals are funded contingent upon submission of

a plan to relocate within existing state-owned space, thereby eliminating rental

costs.

Veterinary Medici ne and Hospital

The cash fund appropriation for 1978-79 includes the

in the apparent sharp increase . The professional veterinary medicine program

will grow from 599 FTE to 675 FTE students as anticipated in the legislation

authorizi ng construction of the new teach ing hospital. Faculty are increa sed

to ma intain the existing st udent-facul ty ratio, -and a personnel manager Jdded

to the hospital staff, for a total of 94 .0 FTE professional staff. Support

institutional role and nrission; other states have statements similar to

those in Colorado, which might be characterized as general and unspecific;

A bill passed this year by the Nebraska Legi slature provides role

and mission statements for the public institutions of higher education in

in-clude a comprehensive staternent of roles and mission5 for all institutions.

The bill (L.B.

was vetoed by the Governor but the veto was overridden

by the legislature. An outline of the sections of this act which specify

university-wide graduate college ••• " (sec.

22)

{d) Statewide respons ibility for continuing education services at

the baccalaureate, graduate, and professional levels. (Sec. 23)

(e) Cooperative graduate degree programs are encouraged between

the University and the state college system:

{1)

When respective boards advise an other board of need;

{2) A needs assessment would then be conducted, including

man-power and student demand and multiple year personnel,

operating costs, and facility needs.

{3) If need is found, boards may include a separate new program

reques t in their budget.

{4) Boards are specifically directed to follow this procedure

in regard to a cooperative graduate program in business

administration at Kearney State College. (Sec. 24)

Jlrhe following activities may be included within this category: {l)

Direct patient care ; (2) health care supporti ve services; (3) corrmunity

Committees and General Business SBA MEETING

August 16-17, 1978

MATTERS FOR ACTION:

Page 10-1

Amendment No. 2 -better known as the "Burch Amendment" RECOMMENDED ACTION:

No action required - report only

EXPLANATION:

A proposal to amend the constitution of the state of Colorado by adding a new article XA limiting annual increases in per capita expenditures by the state and its political subdivisions to the percentage increase in the United States consumer price index, except when a larger increase is approved by the voters in the affected jurisdiction in a special election; providing a pro-cedure for emergency expenditures; prohibiting the state from imposing any part of the cost of new or expanded state programs on political subdivisions; requiring adequate funding of new and existing benefit programs; and establishing a maximum limit on the surplus fund for the state and providing that excess revenues collected by the state be returned to the taxpayers. POPULAR ARGUMENTS FOR:

Amendment would help restore to the general public greater discretion over that portion of income now being spent by state and local govern-ment.

Of the various approaches to halting the growth of government, limita-tions based on cost of living and changes to population are the most reasonable.

Would force legislators to make choices among competing demands for services.

Secretary's Report

Connnittees and General Business SBA MEETING

August 16-17, 1978 page 10-l(a)

Popular Arguments for (Continued ..••.. )

Require state government to fund the cost of new state mandated pro-grams, thereby making legislators more aware of costs imposed on local government.

Prevents the establishment of benefit programs that are not properly funded pursuant to commonly accepted accounting and actuarial principles .

POPULAR ARGUMENTS AGAINST:

Amendment would have severe impact on the ability of state government to assist local government in funding essential services - education , etc.

At current rates of inflation, the seven percent limitation adopted by the General Assembly actually is more restrictive than the

limitation in the amendment.

Would weaken representative government in Colorado by restricting authority of the General Assembly and each governing body to deter-mine levels of expenditures necessary to fund services established by law.

Spending limitation is inadequate to meet the unique problems of many units of government, particularly new communities.

Amendment could mean significant increases in election expenses of state and local governments.

By limiting state and local government expenditures, the amendment could prevent Colorado from receiving millions of dollars from the federal government in the form of matching grants.
