Ohio University officials presented plans yesterday for possible cuts to its 2009 and 2010 budgets in case of reduced State Funding or effects from the “deteriorating economy.” The Budget Planning Council is planning for up to a $12 million shortfall in State Funding and investment income. “We are putting together best-case, worst-case and middle-case scenarios,” said William Decatur, senior vice president for finance and administration of OU. “Even the best case doesn’t look good, so we are accelerating contingency plans so that, if necessary, we can begin implementation even this fiscal year.” The planning council will identify one-time immediate savings possibilities for every college and department. Additionally, the council will review faculty positions and perhaps offer early retirement buy-outs. A hiring freeze announced Sept. 23 came from the council’s first meeting on Sept. 19. With the possibility of future State budget cuts, OU “wanted to slow the rate of spending immediately,” said OU President Roderick McDavis. “Since 80 to 85 percent of our budget is personnel, we figured that would be the most immediate savings to the university,” he said. With the exception of the freeze, the university will operate as usual and continue to plan for dire times. Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland announced two budget cuts this year: a $733 million cut in January and a $540 million cut to State agencies in September. While both cuts largely ex ...

After trying for most of the 2007-2008 school year to get State reimbursement for repairs that had been made to Gates Intermediate School, this year the Scituate School Committee will ask the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to back possible repairs at Gates and Wampatuck Elementary School. According to the school administration, both schools need the work. Last school year, Scituate hoped that its application to MSBA for reimbursement of money spent on Gates in 2007 would move from the list of projects in a “planning stage” to the list that receive money. According to School Faculties Coordinator Robert Murray, that application still sits in the planning stage. “They (the MSBA) haven’t given us any feedback as to why it hasn’t moved forward,” he told the school committee. On Monday, Murray presented school committee members with a rough draft of Statements of Interest for future repairs at Gates and Wampatuck, which the town must submit to the MSBA. Based on the demographics of Scituate, the MSBA could refund from 40 to 42 percent of the cost of accepted construction projects.   Murray told the school committee he believes the district has a good chance of being reimbursed because of the nature of past and future repairs at the two schools — especially, he said, because Wampatuck meets one of the MBSA’s mandated criteria, which is to aide schools that require better heating and air conditioning systems. “I think we ...

  The Massachusetts School Building Administration met Monday and set the reimbursement for the high-school renovation and construction project at 56.42 percent, slightly more than city officials anticipated. The administration also tentatively capped the project’s cost at $75 million and said it would no longer fund athletic facilities. City officials and the building administration will continue discussions on the cap and it could change. Two weeks ago, Mayor Bill Scanlon said the project’s total cost, including all fees and $3 million for asbestos removal, would be between $82 million and $83 million and said Tuesday he couldn’t go forward with the project capped at $75 million. Scanlon also proposed building a new athletic stadium, with artificial turf, as part of the high school project, but his estimate didn’t include the stadium.  It wasn’t immediately clear if the $75 million cap included all design and engineering fees and the $3 million asbestos-removal costs or it the figure only covered construction bids. Either way, the cap could change over the next two months. “We continue to work with Beverly on the scope of the project,” building administration spokeswoman Carrie Sullivan said. “Right now, the construction contingencies in the bids seemed rather high and we wanted to review them.” Scanlon said he would meet with Katherine Craven, executive director of the building administration, to discuss the cap on Thursday or ...

    Administration at the Vining Elementary School and Locke Middle School will resubmitt their statements of interest to seek Funding for renovations from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). Superintendent Dr. Anthony Serio said that by Nov. 15, the schools will have resubmitted their statements to the MSBA. “We will be bringing these forward again,” said Serio at a meeting of the School Committee on Monday, Sept. 8. Assistant Superintendent of Business Frank Antonelli, gave an update on the school’s dealings with the MSBA, the State agency overseeing the Parker Elementary School building project.  Over the summer, the MSBA approved the Parker School Building committee. The committee voted in a selection subcommittee in charge of finding an Owner's Project Manager (OPM), who will be in charge of completing a $400,000 feasibility study, the Funding for which was approved at the annual Town Meeting. The study will determine whether the Parker School should be rebuilt or renovated. “The feasibility study should take four to six months to develop and get in hand,” said Antonelli. The schools are now in the process of submitting their request for services for the OPM and requested approval from the School Committee to do so. Unanimously, the committee voted to proceed. Antonelli gave a timeline for the process of finding such a candidate. The plan is to advertise for the position by Sept. 17 and hold an informational meeti ...
