Communication is key: As part of our ongoing commitment to facilitating all-way communication, this bulletin was created to engage staff on key areas of interest and provide regular updates from all areas of Campus Operations & Risk Management.
Gearing up for budget season
Last year, CORM received $1.6M in operational funding after our successful budget presentations. Now that the fall semester has officially arrived, we're preparing our requests for the upcoming fiscal year. Some budget requests have already been identified, including:
Increased funding for campus accessibility improvements and furniture renewal
Increased funding for energy projects
Re-submission of the golf cart renewal program
Additional support for custodial and security services
Staff and custodial increases
Continued support from IT in reviewing our BMS and Salto systems (part of our draft roadmap)
In the coming weeks, your supervisors will be working with you to develop additional priorities for funding requests. As always, your voices are a large part of what makes us successful, so if there are any items that you believe should be a focus for 2018/19, please let your managers know!

Congratulations Troy
