Mr. David Schumacher, Director Washington State Office of Financial Management Post Office Box 43113 Olympia, Washington 98504-3113

Dear Mr. Schumacher:

Central Washington University's (CWU) Fiscal Year 2020 Supplemental Capital Budget Request is hereby transmitted. This request was developed from careful review of our current 2019-2021 Capital Budget Requests knowing the direction from the Office of Financial Management is to "prioritize our highest priority capital budgets projects needed in addition to the enacted reappropriation-only capital budget." CWU's 2020 supplemental submitted projects highlight an emphasis on enhancing student and staff safety, preserving existing facilities, and improving aging infrastructure. These supplemental projects are critical to the on-going success of CWU and supports or efforts to provide a safe campus environment with a clear focus on energy efficiencies and stewardship of existing infrastructure. Knowing the capital budget circumstances, CWU has prepared the following submittals: • Campus Security Enhancements – Fill mission-critical and life-safety gaps in emergency response and preparedness infrastructure in response to a ghost shooter event in winter 2019. • Chiller Addition – Installation of a new chiller to mitigate temperature control load capacity on newly occupied buildings, Science II, Samuelson Hall, and expected future capital construction projects Health Sciences and Health Edu cation. • Boiler Replacement – Increases the energy efficiency and life-safety conditions of campus by replacing an aged primary boiler with a new energy efficient boiler. We look forward to working with the Office of Financial Management as the 2020 supplemental budget recommendations are put forth. If you would like more information or would like to discuss our funding requests, please contact Steve DuPont, CWU Director of Government Relations, 509-963- 2111 or Steve.DuPont@cwu.edu.

Sincerely,

James L. Gaudino President
