The primary mission of the Enterprise Group is to support the academic activities of the College through the administration of a number of revenue-based service divisions, each offering direct support services to the College. The Enterprise Group, working in cooperation with both the instructional and administrative functions of the College, capitalizes on opportunities to generate revenue while fostering community involvement, providing administrative assistance, and encouraging communications between all groups. The secondary mission of the Enterprise Group is to provide administrative activities necessary to operate the College.

Executive Summary The Enterprise Group was established in 2002 to provide alternative sources of funding to support Pierce’s academic programs. This annual report covers the period July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005, a year which began with fiscal uncertainty, but ended with optimism as the College realized the true benefits of enrollment growth during periods of extreme financial restraint. The Enterprise Group is made up of thirteen revenue-based divisions and three services. One of these divisions, Community Services which had been targeted for closure because its financial operation was failing, was reorganized with a new business model and as a result generated a positive year-end balance of $185,000. These strong year-end balances allowed the College to recoup prior year rental fees, and positioned Community Services to begin regaining its leadership role within the Community College District. With the exception of the Food Services and the Equestrian Educational Center divisions, all of the divisions reported positive net revenue streams which collectively generated about $360,000 in additional revenue for the college. Major accomplishments within the Enterprise Group included the opening of the new College Services Building, and relocation of a number of major departments into the new building. New Bookstore opened August 2004 The opening of the Bookstore, Reprographics, and Freudian Sip each required substantial time in labor, resources, and startup capital to retool, repackage and open the doors to customers and staff. The Enterprise Group also coordinated the relocation of the Business Office and Financial Aid.

The Enterprise Group is made

up of both revenue and

service based divisions all of which support

the primary mission of the

College.

Other events included: planning for the Fall 2005 Harvest Festival; opening the Equestrian Center; successfully completing the lease agreements for the cellular phone antenna’s; and completing the joint occupancy lease agreements for the Sunrise Little League fields. These events are expected to generate an additional $200,000 in fiscal year 2005-2006. The Enterprise Group has also participated in many of the activities of campus life including catering of staff appreciation luncheons, community outreach activities such as Day of the Child, and promoting the college at large whenever possible. Projections for fiscal year 2008-09 call for the Enterprise Group to generate a yearly ending balance of about $1.8 million per year. These funds will continue to be made available to offset operational costs, support the College’s use needs, and further enhance its ability to serve the needs of the academic community.

Background

Since funding allocations from the District Office are primarily based on enrollments, Pierce historically has suffered because of its unique costs associated with the size of the campus, age of the facilities, and other related factors. In the past, stabilization models have forced the District’s financial resources from large campuses to smaller colleges. This has occurred under the assumption that large enrollment campuses can better absorb the reduction through economies of scale. However, the models do not take into account the other mitigating factors which have

resulted in a continuing erosion of Pierce’s fiscal footing. The College has addressed this issue through the Enterprise Group which has been actively pursing sources of income that are independent of tax-based revenues, and are consistent with the educational mission of the College. The following two tables illustrate the degree of the problem with regard to the College’s financial condition.

In FY 2008-09 the Enterprise

Group is projected to

generate about $1.8 million

dollars per year in additional

revenue

Table 1 reveals the inequality in State funding among the State’s three institutions of Higher Education and K-12 education. Community Colleges handle 14.4 percent of the students enrolled in California, yet only receive 10.3 percent of educational funding.

Note 1 – Dollars per student based on 1 WSCH per State General Fund Allocation Model

Table 2 displays the physical size of the nine Community Colleges within our District and compares the funded allocations against the number of acres of the institution. Pierce College has 46% of the total District acreage, but only receives funding allocations based on enrollment. Thus, Pierce’s ability to adequately maintain its land continues to create difficulty for the College.

Based on the realities of the State budget and the mechanisms for funding allocations, there is clear evidence that the College must begin to look at other funding sources based on Growth, Foundations, Partnerships, Contract Education, and Entrepreneurship. The realities of funding distribution at the college level reveal only a small percentage of the available funding is considered as discretionary funds. A majority of the funds (over 92%) are consumed in Operations and Personnel. Table 3 illustrates this budget reality.

Table 3 Realities of the Educational Budget

DiscretionaryOperations

Personnel

The College, as part of its process for change, has taken steps to improve its fiscal constraints by reallocating resources, collaboration, and out-sourcing programs which are consuming discretionary dollars. Each of these steps, along with the concepts of partnerships, will provide fiscal opportunities as they relate to the realities of the College’s educational budget. Pierce is rich in land assets but does not receive adequate funding to maintain and support 430 acres of land.

Growth, Foundations, Partnerships,

Contract Education, and

Entrepreneurship are important

funding sources for the College

Vision The vision for the Pierce College Enterprise Group is to provide entrepreneurial support and direction for Pierce College’s operations, and to create and develop special financial opportunities using college property and facilities for educational economic sustainable solutions.

Mission The primary mission of the Enterprise Group is to support the academic activities of the College through the administration of a number of revenue-based service divisions, each offering direct support services to the College. The Enterprise Group, working in cooperation with both the instructional and administrative functions of the College, capitalizes on opportunities to generate revenue while fostering community involvement, providing administrative assistance, and encouraging communications between all groups. The secondary mission of the Enterprise Group is to provide administrative activities necessary to operate the College.

The Enterprise Divisions

The Enterprise Group is composed of thirteen revenue-based divisions and three service divisions. Each operates as a separate entity, guided by a business plan, and is responsible for maintaining excellent customer relations, sustainable profitable operations, and supporting services to the College’s core academic mission. The Enterprise Group currently is comprised of the following divisions:

This reduced the need for student assignments. In addition, an Administrative Analyst was hired to work in the Enterprise office to assist the operational units and to support the College Enterprise Manager.

The real strength of the Enterprise Group is the ability for shared labor resources.

2004-05 Performance Overview by Division

Bookstore (books, supplies, convenience

store, etc.)

On August 1, 2004 the Bookstore relocated to the new College Services Building. During this period, the Bookstore provided the startup capital to fund the opening of both CopyTech and Freudian Sip. Closing inventory remained almost constant over the prior year inventory at almost 14% of gross sales and reflected a turn rate of 6 as compared to the District average of 3.6, inventory turnover which is reflects an excellent turn rate for Pierce.

Labor costs remained constant at about 16%, and the gross margin was 28.8%, which is well above the District average of 25.7%. The store ran an extremely efficient operation even while spearheading the opening of two new business units.

CopyTech (reprographics)

CopyTech opened for business on August 15, 2004 providing basic reprographic services to facility and staff. On November 1, 2004 the business was opened to students as a retail, full-service business. The business unit has continued to mature, offering improved services and a more diverse product mix. It is anticipated that once a permanent manager for this facility is hired, this operation will become a positive revenue center. At of the close of FY 2004-05, CopyTech continues to operate under the Bookstore budget. It is anticipated that this unit will become a stand-alone operation in FY 2005-06

Staff Services (mail room, conference rooms, and phone

operators)

Staff Services continues to offer excellent support services to faculty and staff. Plans are underway to convert the reservation system used for conference rooms to new interactive software. Staff Services continues to benefit from the ability to offer shared labor resources between all three units which provides for efficient labor usage.

Equestrian Center The Equestrian Center as been operating within a partially constructed facility without water, or sewer, and limited electrical service for the last year. This program is running in testing mode with only a few boarders and reduced services. Given these conditions, the Equestrian center continues to be subsidized by program 10100 funds until such time that the second phase of construction is completed.

Food Services- Cafeteria

Gross sales in the Cafeteria remained constant from prior year, with elevated food costs over last year. This, plus labor costs at 72% of gross sales, created a loss of $160,000, not including vending. Labor costs have continued to drop from a high of 94% in 2002 to 61% of gross sales in 2005. During this period, the staff of the cafeteria learned about SafeSev food safety which forced changes in food preparation techniques. The Cafeteria spent over $30,000 to retool its policies and procedures to comply with heath and safety programs. The loss condition continues to be attributed to high food and labor costs.

Vending Operations

Vending program continues to offer 24/7 food services to the campus at large. Based on the sales of $69,090 at 25% commission, the annual sales of vending products equals $276,360. Currently, vending is handled through the Cafeteria.

Freudian Sip Since Freudian Sip opened in May 2005 and was only open 30 days during this fiscal year, there is little historical information available on its performance. Freudian Sip has been extremely busy since it opened with strong sales, and excellent earnings are projected.

Agricultural Education Center

The College currently is sponsoring a Harvest Festival through the Foundation for Pierce College to raise money for future projects. The College expects to raise $150,000 after expenses for the first year sales, and $150,000 – 250,000 thereafter.

Pierce Extension Office of

Community Services

Pierce Extension made a remarkable turnaround from the prior year’s deficit operation losing <$34,000> to net earnings of $185,000. This was accomplished by controlling expenses, maximizing the income potential for each classroom session, and creating models of efficiency as targets. Pierce Extension has also conducted marketing programs and has retooled and re-packaged the programs to meet the needs of the community.

Business Center For the first time, the Business Center generated a positive ending balance. This business unit, which has been in operation for 16 months, is currently leasing property off campus at the rate of $7,200 per year.

Office of Special Events (facilities rentals, filming,

lease agreements, Permits for Use,

Recreational Leases, )

Office of Special Events continues to meet its income projections while being considerate of the educational programs of the college. A marketing program continues to promote the various venues that the college has to offer to potential clients.

The long-range plans for 2008-09 include:

To fully implement aspects of the 2002 College’s Facilities Master Plan land asset management plan which includes joint ventures, joint occupancy leases, fundraising, and other land uses. These funds will provide a source of stable revenue which could be used to beautify spaces and provide long-term support of newly constructed facilities on the campus which may not be covered under State deferred maintenance programs.

The major projects which are projected to be completed within the next 3 years include installing new Food Services programs on the campus, opening a full service Equestrian Center, breaking ground on a new Agriculture Farm Market and Education Center, signing a lease for the 3-6 acre private / public Joint Occupancy tenant, and breaking ground on a new Life Long Residential Housing project.

Long-Term projects include securing a funding base for the 60,000 square foot Multi-Use Covered Arena and Horticulture Partnership areas which alone will add almost $1,000,000 per year to Enterprise operations.

Since many of these programs have been identified as Development projects, the focus of the Enterprise Group may change in the future. The overall mission however, is expected to remain. That mission is to maintain profitable and self sufficient operations for each of the enterprise divisions in support of the academic mission of the college.
