than 100 percent. Reaching maximum capacity leaves the university with little ability to respond to emergency maintenance problems in housing, reduces the capacity to host conferences and visiting students, and greatly reduces the ability of the university to conduct regular maintenance on housing facilities. CWU recreational and athletic facilities also are overtaxed and in need of repair. Some of the facilities have not had significant renovation since their construction in 1959, compromising safety and causing facilities to fall below the basic standards required for participation in NCAA division II athletics. Staff have documented and the board affirm the need for a new residence hall and for critical upgrades to recreational and athletic facilities. Motion 17-33: Mr. Liu moved that the Board of Trustees of Central Washington University directs staff to develop research and documents required to 1.) fund, site, design, and construct a 400-bed residence hall, and, 2.) to relocate track facilities and renovate Tomlinson Stadium. Dan Dixon seconded the motion. Motion approved. Action – Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Approval Central Washington University’s anticipated revenue for Fiscal Year 2018, including all funding sources, will be approximately $310 million. Total university expenses are anticipated to be $308 million. The FY18 operating revenues and expenses are budgeted at $216 million, and $206 million respectively. These budgets reflect the favorable impact of growing enrollment, cost-control initiatives, and strategic investments in our core functions. Operating budgets have been developed using a driver-based methodology informed by history on rates, projected headcounts and FTE, and expected margins. Undergraduate enrollment is the main driver. The increase is attributable to many factors, including strategic investments in recruiting, marketing and a continued focus on improving retention. Motion 17-34: Mr. Johnson moved that the Board of Trustees of Central Washington University hereby approves the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2018 as presented. Mr. Nellams seconded the motion. Motion approved.
