College Roundtable for Planning and Budgeting

Berkeley City College’s Roundtable for Planning and Budgeting has three charges:

(a) to address the college's strategic missions;
(b) to advise the administration on planning and budget issues by offering opportunities for college-wide participation and collecting recommendations; and
(c) to ensure budget and planning integration and data-based decision-making.

Strategic Missions:

• Inform the college about the strategic goals and the activities of this committee;
• Discuss proposed changes in broad-based college processes before they are acted on or implemented by the College President;
• Examine and discuss issues of college-wide importance in depth with the goal of ensuring that the institution as a whole is true to its mission, clear in its identity, and effective in serving students;
• Assess and improve the effectiveness of the BCC Shared Governance Structure.

College-wide Input and Participation:

• Create, review, and revise committees;
• Receive reports at least annually from all standing and ad hoc committees of the college;
• Receive reports from district governance committee representatives and provide advice to the representatives in response;
• Receive and review college procedural recommendations; adopt, and revise college procedures;
• Assess college needs to ensure systematic development of procedures;
• Obtain constituent opinions;
• Provide a venue for college-wide initiatives and provide a means of communication with the college community;
• Review, approve, and/or improve recommendations made by other bodies, as appropriate.

Budget and Planning Integration:

• Link planning documents to district missions and goals, strategic plans, and accreditation standards to inform budget decisions;
• Review programs planned and in place in order to make recommendations as to what resources are needed for those programs. Develop a framework or model for this;
• Prioritize resource allocation based on recommendations that are informed by defined criteria and outcomes;
• Consider budget and planning-related issues brought forth by other bodies or from college constituencies before making a recommendation to the president.
