STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27096
This is the FY 2020 original appropriation bill for Community Colleges. It appropriates a total of
$48,606,800 and does not cap the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions. For benefit costs, the
bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible FTP; provides a
5.5% increase for the employer's share of PERSI contributions; and temporarily reduces the rate agencies
pay the Division of Human Resources for its services. The bill also provides funding for the equivalent of
a 3% change in employee compensation for permanent employees, with a minimum increase of $550 for
each employee and the remaining amount to be distributed based on merit. Nondiscretionary adjustments
include an increase of $1,018,200. The bill funds four line items, which provide a net-zero transfer of
$10,000 ongoing from the General Fund from each of the community colleges to Systemwide Programs;
a net-zero transfer of $132,200 ongoing from the General Fund from the College of Southern Idaho to the
College of Eastern Idaho for personnel; $117,400 ongoing for Occupancy Costs; and $55,000 onetime from
the Higher Education Stabilization fund for the College of Eastern Idaho.
