Agenda Item No. III. Washburn University Board of Regents

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Neutral Rate Hearing BACKGROUND: The Board approved publication notice of the revenue neutral rate hearing at its June 24, 2021 meeting. The notice of public hearing was published in the September 5, 2021 edition of The Topeka Capital Journal. DESCRIPTION: Senate Bill 13 and House Bill 2104 were adopted during the 2021 Legislative Session. The Bills repealed the property tax lid law applicable to cities and counties and certain budget requirements applicate to other municipalities. They also established new notice and public hearing requirements for certain taxing subdivisions seeking to collect property taxes in excess of the subdivision’s revenue neutral rate. The Fiscal Year 2022 public budget reflects the proposed rates for Capital Outlay and Special Liability shown below. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The change in the Capital Outlay rate reestablishes the statutory mill levy. The increase in the Special liability mill levy allows the fund to be self-funding.

RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends approval of the Fiscal Year 2022 Capital Outlay (3.00) and Special Liability (0.45) mill levy rates by the Board of Regents as published. ______________________ _______________________________

Date Jerry B. Farley, President


Agenda Item No. IV. Washburn University Board of Regents

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2022 Public Budget Hearing BACKGROUND: The Board approved publication of the summary public budget document and the notice of the public budget hearing at its June 24, 2021 meeting. The notice of public hearing was published in the September 5, 2021 edition of The Topeka Capital Journal. DESCRIPTION: Attached are the public budget documents required for the public budget hearing. The documents have estimated year end results for Fiscal Year 2021, as of June 30, 2021. Actual results for the year ended June 30, 2021, will be presented to the Board at a later date. The mill levy and property valuation amounts are based on tax information received from the Shawnee County Clerk’s office. The public budget proposed for Fiscal Year 2022 differs from the Fiscal Year 2022 General Fund Budget approved by the Board on June 24, 2021, as the public budget establishes the maximum amount that can be expended in Fiscal Year 2022. The public budget amounts are set to anticipate unforeseen circumstances and provide flexibility to handle increases or decreases in various revenue/expense items. However, any expenditure of amounts in excess of the Board approved budget would require specific Board action. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The public budget establishes the maximum amounts that can be expended from the various funds included in the attached budget documents. The expenditure of amounts in excess of the Fiscal Year 2022 Public Budget approved by the Board would require specific Board action. RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends approval of the Fiscal Year 2022 public budget by the Board of Regents as published. ______________________ _____________________________________

Chairperson Beck said Washburn was busy in the spring and summer. Spring sports teams had good results. Washburn placed 74 newcomers on MIAA the academic honor roll. Baseball lost to Pittsburg State in the quarterfinals. Softball placed 11 players on the all-conference team and two players on the all-Division II regional team.

Switching out of the sports realm, he said the Mulvane Art Museum held an art auction in place of the annual art fair and raised $67,000. $20,000 was donated for Dr. Farley’s portrait that hangs in the Memorial Union.

Chairperson Beck wanted to recognize and thank personally Helen Van Etten and Paul Hoferer for their service on the Board. Regent Hoferer served eight years and Regent Van Etten served seven years. Ms. Van Etten was appointed by the Kansas Board of Regents (KBoR) and has been an active member which is not always the case with the KBoR appointee. Regent Van Etten said her late husband was a graduate of the Washburn law school so it was like being at home. Chair Beck stated that Regent Hoferer was a law school classmate and he has served on about every committee. Regent Hoferer stated he has had a great time serving on the Board. Regent Beck also acknowledged John Dietrich in the audience, who will be replacing Regent Hoferer on the Board.

He said thanks to everyone at Washburn. In spite of all the challenges they performed spectacularly - faculty, administration and staff.

B. President’s Report

President Farley said we are in the midst of music week in Topeka. There are many performances across the City and County. One of the events Washburn takes pride in is the Sunflower Music Festival. The event attracts musicians from all over the world. There are nine performances scheduled throughout the event. The Festival has commissioned a piece based on the first four women supreme court justices and it will premiere on Saturday night.

Dr. Farley said New Student Orientations have been occurring in the month of June, inviting students to come to campus, get more information and enroll. Every event has been filled to capacity or near capacity.

President Farley reported athletic camps are in full swing. This week has been a football camp which is new this year. The camp is for teams. Over 600 players participated. Other camps that have occurred or will occur this summer include pole vault, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and cheerleading.

Dr. Farley stated Washburn is reinstituting the 60+ audit program. Anyone aged 60 or older can register for free in classes where space is available.

President Farley said Washburn Tech students perform each year in the USA Skills competition. They first compete locally and if successful, go to the national competition in Louisville. Washburn Tech has 14 gold medalists from the State competition going to the national event this summer.

Dr. Farley shared that Saturday and Sunday there will be an Air Show - Thunder Over the Heartland. Washburn is one of the sponsors and will have a tent so plan to stop on by.

Dr. Farley reported the Law School had a ground breaking for the new building.

President Farley said Dr. Eric Grospitch, Vice President for Student Life, and his team have developed an extensive list of activities for students this fall. There will be plenty of opportunities for students to be involved and in various areas. Data shows that students who are involved are more likely to stay in school and complete their degree.

Dr. Farley said one of our Board members, Mr. Jim Klausman, was inducted into the business hall of fame by the Junior Achievement for his work. He offered congratulations to him.

B. Action Items

1. Fiscal Year 2022 Operating Budget – Washburn University and Washburn Institute of Technology

Vice President for Administration and Treasurer Chris Kuwitzky presented. The budget was covered in detail at the Budget/Finance Committee meeting held today and on June 8. He said we are seeking approval for the budgets for Washburn University of $96,278,548 and Washburn Tech of $13,283,415. It was moved by Regent Hoferer and seconded by the committee to approve the budget. Motion passed.

2. Expenditures over $50,000 a. Contracted Services with Pinegar, Smith & Associates, Inc.

Dr. Farley presented the item. He said Washburn has utilized the services of Pinegar, Smith & Associates for many years to represent Washburn at the Statehouse and in Washington D.C. They review proposed bills thoroughly and work with the administration to address any issues. Higher Ed is usually on the defense. It was moved by Regent Hoferer and seconded by Regent Parks to approve the contract with Pinegar, Smith & Associates. Motion passed.

b. Property and Business Interruption Insurance Renewal

Vice President for Administration and Treasurer Chris Kuwitzky presented the item. Representatives from IMA, Washburn’s insurance broker, will be part of the presentation. Vice President Kuwitzky stated premiums from MHEC have increased in part due to the new law school being added to the


5

list of covered properties and in part because of the rate increase, up from $0.061 to $0.079 per $100 of value. IMA did go to market to price other insurance options. Brett Taylor from IMA then presented. He said there is continuing struggle for property insurance on a commercial basis. There have been increases 13 years in a row. The best competing quote was more than $.10 per $100 of value, higher than the MHEC rate. The State of Kansas went out for bid with more leverage and their rate is $0.073.

In response to the question about the consortium, Taylor recommended that should stay because we can get dividends and have gotten dividends in the past. Responding to a question about why the market is so tough, Taylor answered that insurers right now are spending $1.08 for $1 taken in. Wildfires, wind and hail in the Midwest are taking their toll as well as hurricanes. Not only numbers of incidents have increased but severity of storms is also increasing. Mr. Kuwitzky noted that because universities have a larger footprint if damage occurs, it tends to damage many buildings.

Regent Hulse left the meeting at 4:38 p.m., before the vote on the insurance renewal.

It was moved by Regent Klausman and seconded by Regent Parks to approve Property and Business Interruption insurance renewal. Motion passed.

c. Chartwells Contract Amendment No. 12

Vice President for Administration and Treasurer Chris Kuwitzky presented the item. He said COVID exposed some issues with our agreement with Chartwell’s, the market study done in 2014 to project what sales would be. In 2018 and 2019, numbers were down significantly from the market study. COVID further exacerbated the situation. This amendment is based on negotiations with Chartwell’s to try and address their concerns but still continue to provide a refresh to the corner store and union market. Also, changes on commissions paid from a flat fee to a percentage.

Answering a question about Chick-fil-A, Mr. Kuwitzky stated that Chick-fil-A changed their sales guarantee from $600,000 to $1 million. When Washburn realized they could not guarantee that amount of sales, the parties mutually agreed to cancel their agreement. It was moved by Regent Klausman and seconded by Regent Hoferer to approve amendment No. 12 to the Chartwell’s agreement. Motion passed.

d. Intercollegiate Sports Accident Insurance

Vice President for Administration and Treasurer Chris Kuwitzky presented the item. He said this is a renewal. Last year, the Board approved an agreement with Mutual of Omaha after going to market to obtain bids. The agreement involved a premium and a stop loss maximum. This year’s premium is rising as is the stop loss, as the number of claims increased. The


6

NCAA has a catastrophic loss policy. It was moved by Regent Parks and seconded by Regent Buhler to approve the intercollegiate sports accident insurance. Motion passed.

e. Petro 358A and 358B Classroom Upgrade

Vice President for Administration and Treasurer Chris Kuwitzky presented the item. He said this is for upgrading technology in the classrooms. The project will be funded through existing capital funds. It was moved by Regent Sourk and seconded by Regent Buhler to approve the classroom upgrades. Motion passed.

f. Library Subscriptions

Vice President for Academic Affairs JuliAnn Mazachek presented the item. She said Washburn is moving to digital subscriptions. These curated types of subscriptions ensure quality of products. Washburn performs about 11 million searches each year which is about 2,000 per student. These four subscriptions are available all across campus. It was moved by Regent Van Etten and seconded by Regent Parks to approve payment of subscriptions. Motion passed.

g. Accruent EMS Scheduling Software

Vice President for Academic Affairs JuliAnn Mazachek presented, saying this software will enhance scheduling capability with technology. Scheduling currently uses paper to handle scheduling of classrooms and ensuring resources. This will migrate data to the cloud and will allow access to data daily for changes and also assess for best uses of our facilities. This software package supplements our facility scheduling software. It was moved by Regent Buhler and seconded by Regent Parks to approve acquisition of scheduling software. Motion passed.

h. EAB Edify Education Data Platform

Vice President for Academic Affairs JuliAnn Mazachek presented the item. This item does not have any dollars involved, but it is a significant change to contract. The Board previously approved to use an EAB platform to develop data to help academic side to make decisions and deploy resources to help with student success. The platform helped Washburn manage its budget these past two years. Now there is an opportunity to enhance and expand that data. Washburn will be an early adopter and because the university is such a good partner, EAB is providing this platform for free. Information Technology Services was also excited about the software. EAB will also be providing 500 hours of professional services to help Washburn get this up and running. It was moved by Regent Van Etten and seconded by Regent Buhler to approve the change to the contract. Motion passed.


7

3. Debt Disclosure Policy

Vice President for Administration and Treasurer Chris Kuwitzky presented the item. This policy formalizes what we have been doing historically. When tax-exempt debt is issued, there are certain requirements on how the monies are used. Bond counsel asked for this, so it is important to have it formalized. Motion by Regent Hoferer and second by Regent Klausman to approve the debt disclosure policy. Motion passed.

4. Legacy Waiver to Include Grandparents

President Farley presented this item. He said he had received communication from an alumnus in California trying to recruit a grandchild to attend Washburn. The alumnus learned Washburn’s legacy policy allows for in-state tuition only for children, not for grandchildren. This policy allows for grandchildren of alumni to also receive in-state tuition. It was moved by Regent Sourk and seconded by Regent Parks to approve the change to Washburn’s legacy waiver. Motion passed.

VIII. Executive Session

It was moved by Regent Parks and seconded by Regent Sourk to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters involving non-elected personnel for a period of 15 minutes. Motion passed.

Open session recessed for executive session at 5:02 p.m. The Board returned to open session at 5:17 p.m.

It was moved by Regent Hoferer and seconded by Regent Parks to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed.

Meeting adjourned at 5:17 p.m.

WASHBURN UNIVERSITY OF TOPEKA BOARD OF REGENTS

MINUTES June 30, 2021

_______________________________________________________________________________ I. Call to Order

Chairperson Beck called the meeting to order at 9:21 a.m. in the Vogel Room of the Memorial Union on the Washburn University campus.

II. Roll Call

Present were: Mr. Beck, Mr. Hoferer, Mr. Hulse, Mr. Klausman, Mrs. Parks, *Mrs. Sourk and Mrs. Van Etten. Ms. Buhler and Mr. Padilla advised they would not be able to attend.

*Participated via telephone conference call. III. Presentation on process by University Counsel

Marc Fried, University Counsel and Secretary to the Board of Regents, provided a procedural recap up to this date. The meeting was to conduct a review of the decision of the Faculty Appeals Committee (“Committee”) regarding the termination of a tenured faculty member as set out in the Bylaws and the Faculty Handbook (“Handbook”). Five charges were brought by Washburn. Counts 1 and 2, the Committee found there was not sufficient evidence to support the University’s decision to terminate. The Committee reached no conclusion as to Count 3 and found that for counts 4 and 5, there was sufficient evidence to support the University’s decision to terminate the faculty member. Only the faculty member appealed, the University did not appeal, so only counts 4 and 5 are for consideration by the Board. Fried advised that pursuant to the Bylaws and the Handbook, the Board is to consider the record of the previous hearing, which has been previously provided to the Board. That record consists of the second amended charge filed by the University, the faculty member’s answer to the second amended statement of charges, all exhibits admitted into evidence by the Committee, closing briefs by both parties and the decision of faculty appeals committee. Also provided and available for the Board were Bylaws and Handbook language related to the Board’s responsibilities. Fried further advised the Board that the Bylaws and Handbook basically leave the Board to make one of two choices; either uphold the Committee’s decision on courts 4 and 5, or send the matter back to Committee with ‘objections specified’ for committee to address. The Board should only consider the evidence relating to counts 4 and 5, and not evidence of any other charges. Fried then advised that the Board may go into executive session to conduct its discussions on this matter, and Fried would recommend doing so both for protection of faculty member and to ensure that the members of the Board are comfortable discussing items that may be harmful to employee.


2

Fried informed the Board that they may not take votes in closed session. The Board can attempt to determine a consensus that all members are ready to vote. When ready to take vote, the Board must come back into open session. Fried stated if the consensus is leaning towards sending the matter back to the Committee, the Board members may develop a list of those questions during their discussions, but what questions are to be sent back to the committee must be voted on in open session. The board could vote on a list as a whole or vote on each question individually as to whether it should be asked of the committee or not. Fried advised the Board that after they go into executive session, he will remain outside and keeping time. He indicated he would also be available to answer any questions as they may related to process or legal issues, but he will not be able to answer questions about specific evidence in the record. If the Board needs additional time after the initial time period as stated in the motion, the Board will need to come back out into open session and move to go back into executive session for an additional period of time. In response to a question if the written closing arguments to Board can be considered, Fried responded that yes they are to be considered as well and noted that those were sent directly to the Board members and not uploaded onto Directors Desk.

It was moved by Regent Beck and seconded by Regent Parks to go into executive session to discuss a personnel matter involving non-elected personnel to avoid disclosing information that may be harmful to the employee if discussed in a public meeting and also to ensure that Board members are not hesitant to discuss all relevant matters because of concern that they may be raising a possible harmful matter about the employee during a public meeting. The Board also anticipates that there may be legal questions that arise during the executive session and so an additional purpose of the meeting would be to receive legal advice for the University Counsel that would be considered subject to the attorney/client privilege and to preserve that privilege. The open meeting shall resume at 10:30 a.m. Regent Beck also stated that Mr. Fried would not be present during the executive session unless requested by the Board and will then appear only for the purposes of the providing such legal advice as requested by the Board. Motion approved.

The Board went into executive session at 9:30 a.m. The Board reconvened in open session at 10:30 a.m. Regent Beck called the meeting to order. It was moved by Regent Hoferer and seconded by Regent Van Etten that the Board sustain and uphold the committee’s decision to terminate Dr. Leslie Reynard including all salary and compensation, effective as of this date of June 30, 2021. Motion passed unanimously There being no other business, it was moved by Regent Van Etten and seconded by Regent Parks to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 10:37 a.m.

Agenda Item No. VII. A. 3. a. Washburn University Board of Regents

SUBJECT: Eminentes Universitatis DESCRIPTION: Washburn University awards the “Eminentes Universitatis” designation to long-term employees who meet the following requirements: employed as a staff employee or technical instructor for a period of ten years or more; retire in good standing; and service performed must be judged to have been meritorious. At this time, we have three employees meeting these requirements. Ms. Cathryn Tunnell retired with 31 years of service to Washburn University. Ms. Tunnell served as the Sr. Administrative Assistant for the political science department and proved to be of tremendous value to the department. She served four different Chairs, dozens of professors and instructors with professionalism and aplomb, along with helping thousands of students and coordinating hundreds of work study students. During the past year, Ms. Tunnell also provided support for the English Department. Ms. Tunnell retired in July, 2021. Ms. Lynn Wilson retired after 24 years of service in the Theatre department as the Facilities and Systems Technician. Over the years Ms. Wilson has provided repair, moved furniture, offered recommendations and generally pitched in wherever needed. She provided great support for students, faculty and staff within the department as evidenced by watching all the student shows. Her length of service helped her anticipate the needs for classes and events and proactively prepared for them. She was a great resource for solving problems and listening to concerns. Ms. Wilson has also been a long-time supporter of the Arts at Washburn. She even created an art gallery in the theatre lobby so that artists could show their work in an intimate space. She has worked with students and community members to showcase their work in different ways. Ms. Wilson retired in August, 2021. Ms. Stacy Woltje is retiring from Washburn just shy of 20 years of service to the School of Business. She holds both a BBA and MBA from Washburn, and began her working career at Washburn as an academic advisor. Over time she took on many more responsibilities, and was later named the SOBU Director of Student Affairs, where she was responsible for a variety of roles, including advising, training of faculty in advising, recruitment, orientation, scholarship management, supporting WU 101 and more recently has been instrumental in making great improvements in the retention rates for the School. In many ways, Ms. Woltje was the go-to person whenever a student had a problem—if she didn’t know the answer, she knew who to ask for help. Over her long career she has helped thousands of students succeed and achieve their goals. Ms. Woltje retired in August, 2021. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None.


RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends the Board of Regents bestow the status of “Eminentes Universitatis” to Cathryn Tunnell, Lynn Wilson, and Stacy Woltje. __________________ _____________________________

Agenda Item No. VII. A. 4. c. Washburn University Board of Regents

SUBJECT: Washburn University Policies, Regulations, and Procedures Manual - Section E. Benefits. Court Leave DESCRIPTION: Eligible employees receive paid time away from work when called for jury duty or subpoenaed to serve as a witness. Our current policy specifies the benefit for non-exempt employees and omits any reference to exempt employees. For consistency, it would be beneficial to remove the specific reference to “non-exempt” employees and clarify that all employees who are in a position authorized to work 0.5 or greater FTE are eligible. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None. RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends the Board of Regents approve amendments to Section E. of the Washburn University Policies, Regulations, and Procedures Manual. ________________ _____________________________ Date Jerry B Farley, President


WUPRPM. Board Policies E. Benefits Revision Date: September 16, 2021 6. Court Leave. Eligible Employees shall receive the special considerations outlined below when called for jury duty or subpoenaed to serve as a witness.

6.1 Eligible Employees. Employees eligible to receive the court leave benefit are those Employees who are in a position authorized to work 0.5 or greater FTE. Temporary, seasonal, and Student Employees are not eligible. 6.2 Continued Pay. The Employee is granted time off without charge to personal leave and without loss of pay. 6.3 Exceptions.

6.3.1 An Employee appearing in court in an official University capacity is considered to be in a normal duty status. Thus, the court leave policy does not apply. 6.3.2 When the Employee is a plaintiff or a defendant, the court leave benefit does not apply.


Agenda Item No._________ Washburn University Board of Regents SUBJECT: Health Plan Renewal – Plan Year 2022 DESCRIPTION: University administrators and employees have reviewed the historical and anticipated utilization of our health plans (medical, prescription, and dental) provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS). The University’s medical plan is a non-grandfathered, self-funded plan. The dental plan is also self-funded. During 2020, the medical plan was underutilized as members delayed care due primarily to COVID-19. This year, 2021, utilization has increased as members once again began seeking care. For 2022, based on current trends, BCBSKS estimates our health plan utilization will increase again. The current medical, prescription, and dental plan design changes and premium pricing structure, along with our employee wellness program, have been important factors in helping manage our claims utilization over the years. Employer/employee paid premiums are expected to fully cover the anticipated increase in utilization. If not, sufficient health plan reserves are on hand to cover any potential over utilization. Therefore, an overall change in premium funding for the current medical, prescription, and dental plan benefits is not recommended for the plan year beginning January 1, 2022. This will be the fifth consecutive year the University has been able to hold health insurance premiums flat. Married couples, who both work at the University and are benefit eligible, will continue to have the opportunity to cover a dependent child/ren. In those circumstances, the married individual in the higher premium tier will continue to be the primary insurance for covering child/ren. The attached premium sheets identify the employee premium amounts by plan, as well as those amounts paid by the University to continue the support of health plan premiums. The University will continue to monitor health plan utilization and our wellness program to determine if future changes in design and/or premiums are necessary. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Fiscal Year 2022 benefit budgets contains sufficient funds to cover the University’s portion of the premiums. RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends Board of Regents approval to renew the University Health Plan for one-year, effective January 1, 2022. _____________________ __________________________________

Agenda Item No. __________ Washburn University Board of Regents SUBJECT: Property and Business Interruption Insurance Renewal Revision DESCRIPTION: At its June 24th meeting, the Board of Regents approved an estimated premium for property and business interruption insurance of $490,620 or $0.079 per $100 of insured value. Subsequent thereto, for the first time in Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) history, the originally quoted premium was revised in mid-August due primarily to MHEC losing over 50% of its member schools. The schools left the Compact after being advised of the initial premiums and without prior notice. With the reduction in member schools and insured values, costs were redistributed over a smaller number of schools. Premiums for some schools increased by over $100,000. For Washburn, due to its strong claims history (no claims in over 5-years), we received a somewhat smaller modification. Our premium rose from $490,620 to $540,447, an increase of $49,827 (10.2%). Washburn’s property values total $621,389,104, so this equates to a revised premium of $0.087 per $100 of insured value. Our insurance broker, IMA Inc., did a complete marketing effort on Washburn’s behalf this year, reaching out to eight primary carriers and over twenty excess/surplus carriers in an attempt to reduce premium costs for this term (see attached bid summary). The lowest indicated rate within the marketplace for our portfolio of buildings was $0.115 per $100 of value, which continues to compare negatively to the modified renewal rate of $0.087 per $100 of value provided by MHEC. We will, however, continue to seek out other insurers in an effort to reduce premium costs without sacrificing coverage. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: An expenditure of $540,447 for property and business interruption insurance renewal, which will be funded as a part of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Washburn University and Washburn Tech operating budgets. RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends approval to purchase property and business interruption insurance policies at an annual premium of $540,447. _________________ ________________________________ Date Jerry B.

Agenda Item No. VII. B. 3. Washburn University Board of Regents SUBJECT: Renewal of Casualty Insurance Policies DESCRIPTION: Pursuant to Board approval at its June 2021 meeting, the University property insurance was renewed in July through the Midwest Higher Education Compact program. The renewal date for the remainder of the insurance coverage is October 1, 2021. Casualty insurance has traditionally been one of the largest drivers of increases for Washburn’s coverage renewal, given the struggles within the marketplace and sizable claim verdicts across the country related to these lines of coverage. IMA worked in conjunction with the Washburn University team to identify, evaluate, and approach the incumbent (Hanover) and a new market provider (Philadelphia Insurance Co. (PHLY)) to obtain viable coverage options. Doing so resulted in a very competitive set of options. The Casualty package consisting of General Liability, Abuse & Molestation, Employee Benefits Liability, Law Enforcement Liability, School & Educators Legal Liability, and Employment Practices Liability showed an 18% drop with PHLY, along with drops of 43% for Auto and 28% for the Umbrella option. All in all, even with an increase in Cyber coverage of 28%, Washburn’s savings this year in Casualty coverage will be over $98,000, a total savings of almost 16%. Workers Compensation constitutes the highest premium of all the University casualty insurance policies. We continue to work to decrease the frequency and severity of claims. Although our experience modification factor rose from .73 to .74 this year, the premium decreased by 13%. The increase in Cyber premium is a result of cyber market increases of 25-40%, especially for the Higher Education sector. Some carriers aren’t interested in quoting Higher Education at this point, because typically there is a lack of funding to implement stronger security controls. While Washburn has been outstanding in their diligence and response to potential issues, some potential concerns have driven the premium up from $19,970 to $34,493. The Pollution Liability Insurance is a 3-year prepaid policy effective October 1, 2020 to 2023. The total 3-year premium is $33,708. The AIG Foreign Travel Insurance is a 3-year prepaid policy effective October 1, 2019 to 2022. The 3- year premium was $22,290. American International Group (AIG) covers faculty and students traveling abroad. IMA’s fee decreased from $60,000 to $40,000 due PHLY’s pricing structure including commissions. IMA and Washburn have a fee-based agreement, so IMA reduced its fee by the commission amount it will receive directly from PHLY.


The list of renewal policies and premium proposals compared with the current year are as follows: Renewal Proposals Insurance Coverage Current Hanover PHLY Automobile $ 68,822 $ 58,962 $ 37,423 General Liability 91,187 90,482 61,493 Educators Legal Liability 73,702 71,269 80,584 Excess Indemnity (Umbrella) 46,439 51,259 34,402 280,150 271,972 213,902 Workers Compensation 207,064 180,362 180,362 Crime 9,039 9,039 9,039 Cyber 19,970 34,493 34,493 Student Healthcare Professional Liability 16,646 16,437 16,437 Broadcasters Legal Liability - KTWU 3,800 3,800 3,800 Pollution Liability (annual premium of 3-year prepaid policy) 11,236 11,236 11,236 Foreign Travel Insurance (annual premium of 3-year prepaid policy) 7,430 7,430 7,430 Cheerleader Catastrophic Accident Insurance 3,542 3,542 3,542 IMA Brokerage Fee 60,000 60,000 40,000 TOTAL $618,877 $598,311 $520,241 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Total premiums are consistent with the approved Fiscal Year 2021-22 operating budget. RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends approval to purchase the casualty insurance policies as listed above under “PHLY”. __________________ ________________________________ Date Jerry B.

Agenda Item No. VII. B. 4. Washburn University Board of Regents

SUBJECT: Employee Stipend DESCRIPTION: The approved Fiscal Year 2022 operating budget includes a $500,000 pool to fund one-time stipends for qualifying faculty and staff. As stated during the June 8th and June 24th Budget and Finance Committee meetings, the administration planned to use general university operating reserves to supplement the stipend pool with another $500,000. Doing so provides sufficient funds for a one-time (non-recurring) stipend for each qualifying employee. The stipend will be paid in the last November pay period for hourly paid staff and in the November pay date for monthly paid faculty and staff. Washburn values the service of its dedicated employees and is pleased to recommend a one-time stipend for qualifying faculty and staff. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funding is available through the Fiscal Year 2022 operating budget ($500,000) and general university operating reserves ($500,000). RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends the Board of Regents approve a one-time stipend of up to $1,000 for each qualifying faculty and staff member. Date Jerry B Farley, President


Agenda Item No. VII. B. 5. a. Washburn University Board of Regents

SUBJECT: Replacement of AC Condenser Package - Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center DESCRIPTION: Pursuant to the Fiscal Year 2022 capital funding plan approved at the March 2021 Board of Regents meeting, the University is pursuing the replacement of the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center’s AC condenser package. The current equipment has lasted beyond its useful life, has a recurring refrigerant leak, uses an obsolete (R-22) refrigerant, and is no longer reliable. Across campus, all units using the R-22 refrigerant are in the process of being replaced. The proposed upgrade will provide a new equipment layout, placing the new chiller outside, and provides for the new controls to be integrated with the Trane building automation system. Facilities Services sought proposals under the Omnia Purchasing Consortium agreement for a turnkey scope of equipment supply and installation from two contracted vendors. Follow up questions and answers supported the clarification of scope and allowed for the vetting of the vendors’ system design and equipment. One of the vendors provided an incomplete scope and was deemed unresponsive to Washburn’s request. Trane’s proposal was complete and is being recommended as the vendor for this project. Trane proposes to perform the scope of work at a cost of $258,685. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Total Project Budget of $260,000 consists of payments to Trane ($258,685) and a contingency ($1,315) to cover unknown items that may be found during the project. Funding will be provided through the use of capital funds. RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends the Board of Regents approve the award of a contract to Trane in the amount of $258,685 to replace the AC condenser package at the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center. ____________________ _______________________________



Agenda Item No. VII. B. 5. b. Washburn University Board of Regents SUBJECT: Hampden Refrigeration Trainers DESCRIPTION: Washburn Institute of Technology was awarded a Jobs and Innovative Industry Skills Training (JIIST) Grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce in the amount of $57,327 to purchase two (2) Hampden Trainers. This equipment will be used in the Climate & Energy Control Technologies program offered by Washburn Tech. The Hampden Trainers provide students with an introduction to the principal components of basic refrigeration systems and heat pump systems. The instructor is able to insert a variety of electrical faults, including defective motors, switches, relays for electrical troubleshooting, and compressor faults. Hampden is on a GSA Contract. Washburn Tech is requesting to use the funds to purchase the following equipment:

• Hampden Model H-RST-2 Refrigerant System Demonstrator at a cost of $26,655; and, • The Hampden Model H-RST-8 Heat Pump Trainer at a cost of $32,491.

The total cost of the equipment is estimated to be $59,146. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funding for this equipment is provided by a JIIST Grant Award from the Kansas Department of Commerce ($57,327) and General Funds ($1,819). RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends the Board of Regents approve award of a contract to Hampden Engineering Corporation in the amount of $59,146 for the purchase of refrigeration training fire equipment. __________________ __________________________________



Agenda Item No. VII. B. 5. c. Washburn University Board of Regents

SUBJECT: Law School Building - Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment Design Services DESCRIPTION: In March 2021, the Board approved moving forward with the construction of a new Law School Building. A $25,406,957 construction contract was awarded to the MCP Group for general construction activities with a total project budget of $35,000,000, which includes soft costs for design, engineering and procurement needs for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E). The University requested a proposal from Stantec, the project architect, to provide design services and assist in the selection of a furniture dealer to partner with, to achieve a high level of detailed coordination through the specification, installation, and closeout of the project. The scope of the design services includes loose furniture and accessories throughout the building and the southeast plaza. Project goals include the following: • To achieve the best value while meeting the design aesthetic and durability requirements of

the project. • To create design cohesion between the furniture and architecture, while maintaining a high

quality of fit and finish, as well as adherence to budget. • To achieve a strategy that will avoid/mitigate cost increases within the ever-changing

manufacturing climate. Stantec has designed the building thus far and has design models that will be utilized in the selection of FF&E products. Stantec proposes to add this scope of work to their project contract at a cost of $108,000. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The design and purchase of the necessary FF&E for the Law School Building Project was identified and funded as an integral component of the Board approved project budget. RECOMMENDATION: President Farley recommends the Board of Regents approve a $108,000 change order to Stantec’s contract for FF&E design services for the Law School Building Project. ____________________ _____________________________ Date Jerry B.

Agenda Item No. VII. B. 5. d. Washburn University Board of Regents

SUBJECT: Cosmetology - Student Educational Supplies DESCRIPTION: The Washburn University Institute of Technology offers a 2-year instructional program in cosmetology that includes clinical labs, as required by the Kansas Board of Cosmetology.

SUBJECT: Degree Change - Associate of Science (A.S.) to Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in Surgical Technology DESCRIPTION: The Associate of Science (A.S.) in Surgical Technology currently conferred in School of Applied Studies will transition to an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) at Washburn Institute of Technology, beginning Summer 2022. This change aligns the degree program with other Surgical Technology programs in the region and allows students to complete the Associate’s degree program more quickly. RATIONALE: Washburn Institute of Technology (WIT) has coordinated the Surgical Technology Certification, program accreditation, and faculty since program inception. The certification is classified as a Certification C with the Technical Education Authority (TEA) /Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) and receives Excel CTE funding to support the technical program. In accordance with ARC/STSA Standard I. A. – Sponsorship of the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), sponsoring institutions should award a minimum of an Associate’s Degree at the completion of the program instead of a certification on or after August 1, 2021. To comply with the accreditation change, an articulated AS degree was developed in collaboration with School of Applied Studies (SAS) and the sponsoring institution, Washburn Institute of Technology (WIT). In further review of the articulated A.S. degree, the WIT Surgical Technology Advisory Board, faculty, leadership (SAS/WIT), and support from the VPAA’s office, the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in the School of Applied Studies would transition to an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) at Washburn Institute of Technology. The A.A.S. degree in Surgical Technology will transition from an 80-83 credit hour program to a 67-72 credit hour program with the degree to be conferred from Washburn Institute of Technology. The degree change will go into effect Summer 2022 with the last A.S. cohort completing the degree program Spring 2022. WIT will provide student advisement and full-time Surgical Technology faculty members will continue to manage the selective admission process into the program. The A.A.S. in Surgical Technology degree will align with the credit hours with other regional institution A.A.S programs, which was not the case with the articulated A.S. degree. The change also allowed for the addition of a new 4 credit course in Sterile Processing, alignment of program pre-requisites, and recruitment pathways into the degree program for both adult and secondary students (high school). The Surgical Technology Advisory Board on July 7, 2021 and Washburn Institute of Technology Curriculum on August 17, 2021 approved the curriculum and degree change.

Quarterly Financial Analysis For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Financial Highlights

Highlights from the Statements of Revenues and Expenditures for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, are presented below. Combined Operating Funds • Fiscal Year 2021 revenues exceeded expenditures by $4.2 million, which is comparable to

the prior year net surplus of $3.8 million. Washburn University General Fund • Fiscal Year 2021 revenues exceeded expenditures by $3.3 million, which is comparable to

the prior year net surplus of $3.6 million. • Tuition and Fee, Sales Tax, and State Appropriation revenues trended positively compared to

Fiscal Year 2021 budget expectations. • Tuition and Fee revenue trailed the prior year by $2.6 million (5.1%) due to a decline in

enrollment. • KTWU’s revenues consist primarily of a Community Service Grant from the Corporation for

Public Broadcasting, underwriting income, and private gifts. • Salaries, Wages, and Benefits trailed the prior year by $3.3 million (5.3%) due to vacant

positions remaining unfilled. • Scholarships exceeded the prior year by $724,000 (11.4%) due primarily to tuition rate

increases and increased School of Law retention and first year awards. Washburn Institute of Technology General Fund • Fiscal Year 2021 revenues exceed expenditures by $916,000, which is comparable to the

prior year net surplus of $286,000. • Tuition and Fees declined as a result of reduced enrollment, which is attributable to the

impact of COVID-19 on technical education programs. Hands on programs such as carpentry, heavy construction equipment, and diesel mechanic do not lend themselves to hybrid course delivery.



Financial Highlights (Continued)

Residential Living • Fiscal Year 2021 revenues trailed expenditures by $146,000, which is comparable to the

prior year net surplus of $131,000. • Room Rental declined as a result of reduced occupancy, which is attributable to lower

student enrollment and COVID-19. • Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds provided $79,000 to

reimburse Fall semester student housing refunds.

• Debt Service declined as a result of the refunding/refinancing of the Series 2010, Series 2014, and Series 2015AB Bonds for savings and near-term budgetary relief.

Business and Auxiliary Services • Fiscal Year 2021 revenues exceeded expenditures by $156,000, which is comparable to the

prior year net loss of $232,000. • Dining revenues have declined primarily as a result of reduced commission income, which is

a result of lower residence hall occupancy and fewer faculty, staff, and students being physically on campus day-to-day.

• CARES Act funds provided $100,000 to reimburse lost dining commissions. • Debt Service declined as a result of the refunding/refinancing of the Series 2010, Series

2014, and Series 2015AB Bonds for savings and near-term budgetary relief. Debt Retirement and Construction Fund • Fiscal Year 2021 revenues exceed expenditures by $518,000, which is comparable to the

Bill Fiander, AICP, Director Tel: 785-368-3728 www.topeka.org

September 7, 2021 Board of Regents Washburn University 1700 SW College Avenue Topeka KS 66621 Dear Board Members:

Since 1995, the City of Topeka’s Neighborhood Revitalization Plan/Program (NRP) has been successfully providing property tax rebate incentives for those willing to invest within our most investment-challenged neighborhoods and Downtown.

The current version of the NRP, which Washburn University is a participant in, expires on December 31, 2021. The City is proposing to extend through the end of 2024.

The NRP area is based on the City’s Neighborhood Health Map which was updated earlier this year. As a result of this update, fewer “At Risk” areas were identified to be included in the proposed NRP which traditionally aligns with “At Risk” and “Intensive Care” neighborhoods. Other notable changes include:

• Adding the former Menninger Tower Building to the NRP area. • Allowing 20 year tax rebates in TIF districts under certain conditions. • Transferring remaining Neighborhood Revitalization funds into the City’s Housing Trust Fund.

We are asking for your continued participation in the program through an inter-local agreement with the City. All taxing entities within the current NRP boundary participate, including USD 345, USD 437, USD 450, USD 501, Shawnee County, Topeka Metropolitan Transit Authority, Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority, Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, and Washburn University.

The success of the NRP is proven. It has accounted for over $64 million of property investment covering 601 separate projects. For every dollar rebated, $8 is leveraged in property investment.

I am attaching background information on the NRP which I am happy to go over with you or your staff if you wish. In the meantime, if you should have any additional questions please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Bill Fiander, AICP Planning Director, City of Topeka

Introduction

This Plan is intended to promote the revitalization of the inner urban area hereinfter

described as the Neighborhood Revitalization Area (NRA) of the City of Topeka through the

rehabilitation, conservation and redevelopment of the area in order to protect the public health,

safety welfare of the residents of the City. More specifically, in accordance with KSA 12-17,

118 (d), a tax rebate incentive will be available to property owners for certain improvements that

raise the appraised value of residential property 10% and commercial property 20%.

In accordance with KSA 12-17, 114 et. seq., the Governing Body has held a public

hearing and considered the existing conditions and alternatives with respect to the described area,

the criteria and standards for a tax rebate and the necessity for interlocal cooperation among the

other taxing units (City of Topeka, Shawnee County, USD 501 (Topeka), USD 345 (Seaman),

USD 450 (Shawnee Heights), USD 437 (Auburn-Washburn Rural), Washburn University,

Topeka-Shawnee County Public Library, Topeka Metropolitan Transit Authority (TMTA),

Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority (MTAA). Accordingly, the Governing Body has

reviewed, evaluated, and found that the described area meets one or more of the conditions

contained in KSA 12-17,115 (c).

1. An area in which there is a predominance of buildings or improvements which by reason of dilapidation, deterioration, obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes or a combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency or crime and which is detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare;

2. An area which by reason of the presence of a substantial number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, defective or inadequate streets, incompatible land use relationships, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility or usefulness, unsanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding the actual value of the land, defective or unusual conditions of title, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or a combination of such factors, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of a municipality, retards the provision of housing accommodations or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare in its present condition and use; or



DRAFT 4

3. An area in which there is a predominance of buildings or improvements which by reason of age, history, architecture or significance should be preserved or restored to productive use.

Furthermore, the Governing Body may declare a building outside of a NRA to be a

“dilapidated structure” if the structure satisfies the following definition KSA 12-17,115(a):

"Dilapidated structure" means a residence or other building which is in deteriorating condition by

reason of obsolescence, inadequate provision of ventilation, light, air or structural integrity or is

otherwise in a condition detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of its inhabitants or a

residence or other building which is in deteriorating condition and because of age, architecture,

history or significance is worthy of preservation.

The boundary of the proposed NRA is intended to reflect the City’s most investment-challenged

and deteriorated areas as determined by the City’s Neighborhood Health Map. The NRA includes

all designated “Intensive Care” and “At Risk” Census block groups based on the most recent

update of the health map in 2017. These areas are deemed to qualify under all of the above

criteria (KSA 12-17, 115 (c)).

In addition, some parts of the proposed NRA are outside At Risk/Intensive Care designations.

Those areas are included because they either: 1) have been historically “At Risk” since 2000, 2)

are part of infill subdivisions or redevelopment areas that were dependent upon and approved

under the City’s past Neighborhood Revitalization Plans, 3) are part of minor boundary rounding

to make the NRA as contiguous and orderly as possible, or 4) otherwise would qualify under the

above criteria (KSA 12-17, 115 (c)). Taken as a whole, the proposed NRA meets legislative and

statutory intent of KSA 12-17, 115 (c).

Any boundary expansions should be consistent with the above criteria and the State’s Attorney

General’s opinion issued in 1996 which determined that the intent of the legislation was aimed at

neighborhood stabilization and preventing deterioration in the central section of the city or more

specifically, neighborhoods. The opinion concludes that the governing body must make a finding

that the area meets one of the conditions listed in KSA 12-17, 115 (c), that rehabilitation of the



DRAFT 5

area is necessary to protect the welfare of the municipalities’ residents, and that the area should

not include the entire municipality.

As a matter of policy, the City of Topeka’s NRA is also proposed to be limited in scope to the

above areas in order to promote a streamlined and administrative “but for” policy. The inherent

presumption of this Plan is that necessary private investments would not occur in these areas “but

for” the incentives offered under the Plan. Incentives are approved administratively by City of

Topeka staff upon application by the property owner without further proof of need for the

incentives. In order to enforce this assumption, the Plan puts forth thresholds for application

deadlines to ensure the applicant knew about the program prior to construction and that the

investment must create an impactful value increase.

Therefore, this Plan finds the proposed areas are most legally justifiable under State law and

provides for a streamlined “but for” test to revitalize the City’s most deteriorated sections.

PART 1

DESCRIPTION OF NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION AREA

The Neighborhood Revitalization Area (Map #1) in general follows the boundaries of

Intensive Care and At Risk neighborhoods as identified in the City of Topeka Neighborhood

Health Map. This map most recently updated in 2017, establishes four (4) health classifications

for neighborhoods (intensive care, at risk, out patient, and healthy) to determine priorities for re-

investment and planning assistance. They are described below in order of priority:

Intensive Care - areas with seriously distressed conditions that need immediate attention and intervention At Risk - areas with emerging/existing negative conditions that need attention before they succumb to seriously distressed conditions Out Patient - areas with favorable conditions in need of minor isolated treatments Healthy - areas with optimal conditions

The four health classifications were based on five (5) vital signs that measured the relative

health of all neighborhood areas in Topeka. This neighborhood health assessment was used to

develop a “triage” approach to revitalization. Those areas that had more “life-threatening” or

urgent needs as measured by the vital signs should receive higher priority for treatment over

those areas with less urgent needs. These higher priority areas (intensive care/at risk) are the

focus for neighborhood planning efforts and public re-investment. A summary of the vital signs

include:

Poverty (20152-20196 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, U.S Census) - High concentrations of poverty are one of the most reliable indicators of performance in school, crime rates, family fragmentation, job readiness, housing conditions, etc. Public Safety (January 20195 – December 20162020, Topeka Police Dept.) – Public Safety, as measured by number of Part 1 crimes reported for the last two full years, is a symptom indicating the local environmental conditions conducive to crime and how well a neighborhood is organized to prevent crime from occurring.

High Priority

Low Priority



DRAFT 7

Residential Property Values (June April 202017, Shawnee County Appraisers Office) – Property values are in part a reflection of the quality of housing supply and the image of a neighborhood. The median value of a house purchased in Shawnee County was $122,000 in 2018 (Topeka Association of Realtors). Single Family Housing Tenure (June April 202017 Shawnee County Appraisers Office) The percentage of homeowners residing in a neighborhood can be an indication of the willingness (or confidence) to invest in the area. The most relevant measure of this is how many single-family dwellings are owner-occupied since these homes were primarily built for individual ownership. Secured Houses & Unsafe Structures (202017 City of Topeka Code EnforcementSpecial Structures Unit) - A secured house is one of the most evident physical displays that will undermine confidence in an area for investment and precipitates a downward spiral for the block and/or neighborhood.

NR Area.

• Average residential property values are nearly three times340% greater outside of the NR

Area than within its boundaries.

• The homeownership rate is substantially greater outside of the primary NR Area boundary

(742% versus 47%).
