The Columbia Gorge Community College budget committee passed a 2015-16 fiscal year plan as developed by college administration, except for moving $43,798 dollars from institutional support to student services to add an administrative assistant for the Hood River campus.  Committee members had received over $270,000 in possible transfers to student services from staff as they requested, even though CGCC Chief Financial Officer Will Norris emphasized he was not recommending them.  But a motion to make all the moves lost in a split 6-6 vote, with four of the no votes from College Board of Education members.  The committee did pass a policy calling for institutional support to be brought more in line with other community colleges in the state by the next fiscal year.  A report by one budget committee member indicated CGCC’s institutional support represented 28 to 30 percent of the school’s budget, while the average at other Oregon community colleges was 20 percent.  Committee Chair Arthur Babitz said the College Board should call for a major reorganization, while board member Ernie Keller contended colleges are different than a business and have different system requirements.  The Board of Education holds its budget hearing on June 9.
