BOT Approves Financial Audit and Video Board for Broncbuster Stadium
[Garden City, KS] March 9, 2022 -- The Garden City Community College Board of Trustees approved the 2020-21 financial audit along with a video board for the Broncbuster Stadium athletic complex during the regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, March 8, 2022.
The Board heard a recommendation on installing a video board at Broncbuster Stadium. The large-screen video display would improve the sound system for house sound, field mics, and overall game day sound as the sound will be redirected from being in the stands to being included as part of the video board. Additionally, the video board would enhance recruitment efforts, provide incentives and allow for new avenues for revenue generation through advertising, and provide an opportunity to attract sporting events and competitions to the facility.
Two size options for the video board, a 20'X36' and a 24'X43', were presented. Both sizes have the same quality regarding pixels and picture quality and the same embedded sound system. The Board voted to approve the administrative recommendation of the 24'X43' video board with a sound system for $548,340. Funding for this project is through the new 2022 COP financing plan.
Additionally, the Board heard a presentation by Lewis, Hooper and Dick, LLC. of the 2020-21 financial audit. The annual audit for GCCC also included the Garden City Endowment Association and the Broncbuster Athletic Association. The audit resulted in an unmodified opinion which is the highest rating available for financial audits and was approved by the Board.
Regarding the 2022-23 Tuition and Fees for Senate Bill 155 (career and technical dual credit courses) in last month's Board packet, there was an incorrect rate listing of $50 per credit. The increase in fees was not reflected. The Board adopted the corrected Service Area SB155 Tuition and Fees for 2022-23 as $55 per credit hour.
The next meeting of the Board of Trustees is scheduled for Tuesday, April 12th at 6 p.m. in the Endowment Room at the Beth Tedrow Student Center.
