LE T TER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Letter from the PRESIDENTSince 1963, Cuyahoga Community College has provided high-quality, accessible and affordable educational opportunities to the residents of Northeast Ohio. Tri-C offers more than 1,000 credit courses each semester in more than 200 career and technical programs, as well as short-term certificates, certificates of proficiency and post-degree professional certificates.

More than 900,000 individuals have attended Tri-C, acquiring the education and training they need to succeed in the 21st century economy — and Tri-C’s students are succeeding in record numbers. More than 4,400 degrees and certificates and more than 19,000 workforce credentials were awarded to our students last academic year. Eighty-five percent of these students will remain in Cuyahoga County, equipped with the skills needed to earn family-sustaining wages while contributing to a vibrant Northeast Ohio economy. Tri-C is proud to provide its students with these opportunities and remains focused on expanding access to these opportunities to students from all backgrounds.

Mindful that part of the funding Tri-C receives is entrusted to us by taxpayers, our commitment to responsible resource management remains a priority. We are also grateful for the support provided by our communities. On behalf of Tri-C’s students, faculty and staff, I extend my gratitude for all you do to keep Tri-C where futures begin.

Sincerely,

Alex Johnson, Ph.D.President

CUYAHOGA COMMUNIT Y COLLEGE | 2019 POPUL AR ANNUAL F INANCIAL REPORT

Letter from the TREASURERI am pleased to present the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for Fiscal Year 2019. Prepared annually by the Administration and Finance Division of Cuyahoga Community College, the PAFR contains a variety of information presented in a simplified format. Using data compiled from the College’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), the PAFR includes information on budget, finances, organizational structure, capital projects, strategic plans and goals, and student and employee statistics.

The culture at Tri-C continues to be one of commitment to and shared responsibility for our students. This begins with ensuring that a high-quality, affordable education is accessible. Maintaining affordable tuition — the lowest in the state of Ohio — is just one way in which Tri-C remains accessible. The College also focuses on removing barriers that act as roadblocks along a student’s educational journey. Reducing the total cost of education through initiatives that promote affordable course materials, providing emergency funding through programs such as Care Team Cash and, quite literally, meeting our students where they are through our Access Centers and other community outreach programs are all ways in which Tri-C upholds its commitment to students.

Tri-C’s continued commitment to responsible fiscal stewardship has again been recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), an organization dedicated to enhancing and promoting the professional management of governmental financial resources by identifying, developing and advancing fiscal strategies, policies and practices for the public benefit. Tri-C has received the Best Practices in Community College Budgeting Award, the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Award from the GFOA and remains one of only a handful of community colleges in the nation to achieve this recognition.

I hope the information presented in this PAFR helps to educate our community regarding how its tax dollars are used to support student achievement and success. Electronic copies of both the CAFR and the PAFR are available at www.tri-c.edu. I invite you to share any questions, concerns or comments by contacting my office at 216-987-4790 or [email protected].

Sincerely,

David Kuntz, CPAExecutive Vice President/TreasurerAdministration & Finance

HISTORY AND OVERVIEW | F ISCAL YE AR 2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Strategic FOCUS AREASThe Collegewide Strategic Plan for 2018-2022 represents theformalization and consolidation of Collegewide priorities, and it isrooted in the foundational principles of access, equity and success.College initiatives align with five strategic focus areas, each withaccompanying goals and metrics that sharpen the focus and clarifythe path to success. We believe that focusing on these areas willallow us to serve our students while achieving goals set forth by thegovernor and the Ohio Department of Higher Education.

• STUDENT EXPERIENCE In order for all students to access a quality education and

succeed in their goals, Tri-C will provide a comprehensive student experience within a welcoming and safe learning environment.

• BRAND/IMAGE Tri-C will continue to increase communication and

engagement with its internal and external communities by promoting a culture of transparency, accountability and inclusion.

• COMMUNITY Tri-C will build upon its external community partnerships —

including alumni, employers, educational institutions, organizations and governments — to meet student needs and improve the quality of life throughout the region.

• WORKFORCE Tri-C will strengthen internal pathways and ensure that

programs, degrees and credentials align with employer needs so that residents are prepared to participate in the skilled workforce and growing economy of Northeast Ohio.

• AFFORDABILITY Tri-C will maintain its long-standing commitment to providing

affordable educational opportunities and services, removing barriers to educational access, exercising good stewardship of taxpayer resources and ensuring institutional integrity.

Fiscal Year 2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTSCuyahoga Community College is committed to creating environments that generate positive, nurturing and learning-focused experiences that support innovation, teamwork and successful student outcomes. Tri-C celebrated a number of achievements in FY19 that further its mission to provide high-quality, accessible and affordable education in Northeast Ohio while keeping a focus on helping students succeed in their chosen educational path and beyond.

• Tri-C earned its 10th consecutive Military Friendly® School designation in recognition of its commitment to serving veterans and active military students as well as their families. The College works with thousands of military families through its veteran services centers, which offer a full array of support services to help veterans reach their educational and career goals as they transition from soldiers to civilians.

• The College conferred 1,852 associate degrees and certificates of completion during the 2018 Fall Commencement ceremony. As the second-largest fall commencement class in Tri-C’s history, it reflects the success of College programs and initiatives designed to keep students on the path to graduation.

• Tri-C received the Best in Class Award for Board Diversity from the Commission on Economic Inclusion. This award recognizes the College’s commitment to advancing equity within all levels of the organization and within the community.

• Tri-C was a recipient of the NorthCoast 99 award in 2019 — its 13th year as an honoree. The College also earned a special category award for Recruitment, Selection and Onboarding. These awards prove that Tri-C’s policies and practices are among the best in the region when it comes to compensation benefits, work-life balance and other significant factors that attract and retain outstanding employees.

• In February 2019, Cuyahoga Community College earned Achieving the Dream “Leader College of Distinction” status for achieving higher student outcomes and narrowing equity gaps. Tri-C was one of eleven community colleges across the country — and one of three in the state of Ohio — to receive this honor.

• Campus Police and Security Services was reaccredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). Only 90 college and university law enforcement agencies have earned CALEA accreditation, and Tri-C remains the only community college in the nation with this designation.

Government Finance Officers AssociationAWARDS FOR FINANCIAL REPORTINGThe GFOA has given an Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting to Cuyahoga Community College for its popular annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. This prestigious national award recognizes conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government popular reports.

In order to receive this award, a government unit must publish a PAFR, the contents of which conform to program standards of creativity, presentation, understandability and reader appeal.

An Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current report continues to conform to Popular Annual Financial Reporting requirements and are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

In addition, GFOA awarded Cuyahoga Community College’s comprehensive annual financial report for fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. This is the highest form of recognition for excellence in state and local government financial reporting.

In order to receive this recognition, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR, the contents of which conform to program standards. Such a report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.

A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current report continues to conform to Certificate of Achievement program requirements and are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.

Finally, the College received the Award for Best Practices in Community College Budgeting for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2017 and July 1, 2018. The College’s budget book for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019 is pending review by GFOA, and the College expects to receive the award upon completion of GFOA’s review. The budgeting process advocated for by the best practices in community college budgeting focuses on optimizing student achievement within available resources.

This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements and are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

Cuyahoga Community College is an asset to the community it serves and touches countless lives in significant ways. Tri-C is where futures begin.

GOVERNMENT F INANCE OFF ICERS ASSOCIAT ION AWARDS FOR F INANCIAL REPORT ING | F INANCIAL RE VIEW

Financial REVIEWThe following is an overview of the College’s financial operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (FY19). Most of the information contained within this Popular Annual Financial Report is extracted from financial information contained within the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The CAFR is a more detailed and complete financial presentation prepared in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited by the College’s independent auditors, receiving an unqualified opinion. An unqualified opinion is given when an auditor can state that the financial statements are accurately and fairly presented. While the financial data in this PAFR conforms with GAAP, the statistical, economic and demographic data is taken from various sources and is unaudited. Financial information for the Cuyahoga Community College Foundation is not included within this PAFR. The CAFR and PAFR are both available at www.tri-c.edu.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION

The College’s financial position in FY19 remains strong, with total assets of $885.5 million, total liabilities of $732.3 million and total net position of $104.2 million.

Sources of FUNDSOPERATING REVENUES

For FY19, operating revenues increased $4.3 million to $81.0 million — 5.6% higher than the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. Student tuition and fees increased $2.3 million and private grants increased $3.0 million, while operating expenses associated with auxiliary enterprises decreased $1.0 million. The increase in student tuition and fees can be attributed to an increase in the per credit hour rate from $104.54 to $114.54. In addition to student tuition and fees, other components of operating revenue include federal, state and local grants and contracts; auxiliary enterprises, which include bookstore, food services and parking operations; and sales and service revenue, which include revenues from partner and customized training, noncredit course fees, special event fees and fieldhouse/facility revenues. Other operating revenues are primarily facility rentals through Tri-C’s Corporate College.

The majority of the College’s revenue sources are state appropriations, property taxes, federal grants and contracts in addition to student tuition and fees, which are kept low since they comprise only a small part of the revenue pie. College management utilizes performance metrics — indicators of financial strength that enable the College to balance fiduciary responsibility with the achievement of its mission, vision and values.

Non-operating revenues include state appropriations; property tax receipts; federal, state and private grants and contracts that apply to future periods; investment income; and state capital appropriations. Non-operating expense includes interest on capital debt and other miscellaneous expenses.

State share of instruction (SSI), the funding method developed by the State of Ohio to determine allocation of funds to school districts, saw a marginal 2.0% decrease in appropriations during FY19. SSI decreased to $70.7 million from FY18 revenues of $72.1 million.

Property tax revenues were up 11.3% for the year ended June 30, 2019, at $131.0 million over $117.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2018. Increased receipts associated with the Capital Bond Levy passed in November 2017 contributed to increased property tax revenues in FY19. Tax abatements have a negative impact on total revenues over the abatement period granted, though abatements decreased $214,500 in 2019.

Restricted and unrestricted investment income together was $4.4 million higher than the prior year. Interest on capital-related debt increased 70.1% to $12.5 million from $7.4 million in FY18.

Major CAPITAL PROJECTS METRO CAMPUS PLAZA RENOVATIONS The College identified costs of approximately $25-$28 million to remove, structurally repair and replace the main campus plaza-level deck, including major exterior pedestrian circulation paths, outdoor educational features, student activity areas and landscaping. The project enhances pedestrian movement, adds outdoor gathering space and provides an open, more welcoming environment.

WESTERN CAMPUS STEM CENTERTri-C has observed the increasing need for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum to increase student learning, success and completion of Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science degrees. This $35 million project created a new 61,374-square-foot building to provide learning spaces for science and IT labs as well as collaborative student study space. The new STEM Center opened in fall 2019.

WESTSHORE CAMPUS LIBERAL ARTS AND TECHNOLOGYThis $41.2 million project includes a new 91,216-square-foot building that provides space on the Westshore Campus to conduct classes previously held at Corporate College West. The building includes offices, student spaces, facilities operations and classrooms. Approximately 15,000 square feet of space in the existing Health Careers and Sciences building was renovated as part of this project. The Liberal Arts and Technology building opened in fall 2019.

ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY CENTER EXPANSIONThis $7 million project, begun in FY19, includes a 12,189-square foot expansion to the existing Advanced Automotive Technology Center. The expansion added classroom and student space, lifts and opportunities for program growth. 5,700 square feet of existing space was renovated. The expanded building opened in fall 2019.

PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING CENTER SIMULATED SCENARIO VILLAGEConstruction on this $17 million project began in FY19. This project will create a real-life neighborhood for first-responder training exercises. The 15,159-square-foot training center includes a training simulator, conference rooms, locker rooms, instructional spaces, a mock 911 call center and training village control room. The village will also include commercial buildings and a mock residence with movable interior wall systems to create a variety of training scenarios.

SUSTAINABILITYFY19 saw the College’s sustainability initiative continue moving forward. The key performance indicator measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by College activities continued to trend down toward its long-term goal. Engagement of Tri-C in the Cuyahoga County sustainability community, support for infusion of sustainability into Tri-C curricula and continued operational efficiency improvements are three main areas of focus, and progress has been made on all fronts.

INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE Infrastructure maintenance is the preservation of existing infrastructure assets at the College. The Capital Bond Levy is enabling the College to continue its concentrated efforts to restore its infrastructure to a high level of reliability through $42 million Infrastructure Maintenance projects started in FY19, with additional projects set to start in fall 2020 and conclude by October 2021. These projects include parking, roadway and walkway repairs and maintenance, athletic track replacement, HVAC equipment replacement, building envelope repairs, electrical panels, generator replacement, lighting retrofit, root replacement, restroom renovations, carpet replacement, floor tile replacement, gym floor replacement, painting, safety and security systems, and building automation system upgrades.
