Development of the 1997-1998 Lottery Revenure Budget

The development of the California State University Lottery Revenue Budget has as its basis the budgeting and allocation process endorsed by the Long Range Financial Planning Committee and first adopted by the Board of Trustees on July 9, 1986. This process was subsequently modified prior to the adoption of the 1987/88 Lottery Revenue Budget on May 13, 1987. This modification was the culmination of an evaluation process which included reviews of the process by various systemwide committees and organizations. Since this time, however, significant changes have occurred within the CSU system necessitating modifications in the lottery revenue budget process. These changes started occuring during the 1995/96 fiscal year. This year's changes incude the elimination of the expenditure authorizations. The detailed campus allocations, located at the end of this document will now serve as the expenditure authorization for the CSU system. More details are provided under the section entitled General Budgeting and Allocation Procedures.

The purpose of this document is to replace the 1996/97 Lottery Revenue Budget and Policies Manual.

The Chancellor's proposed 1997/98 budget is essentially the same budget as the 1996/97 budget. There are, however, some changes. This budget changes the level of funding for three existing programs and establishes one new program. The changes are targeted to: (1) the CSU Scholarship Program for Future Scholars in the amount of $220,000 and provides a total of $660,000 for all campuses; (2) increasing CSU Monterey Bay's Teacher Diversity program by $70,000 from $5,000 to the same level as other CSU campuses; (3) increasing Campus-Based Programs for CSU Monterey Bay and the Maritime Academy by a total of $10,000. A new program, Technology Access and Support, is established in the amount of $5 million to be distributed to the campuses based on Fall 1996 headcount. A complete description of this program is contained under the section entitled "Program Descriptions, Guidelines, and Reporting Requirements."
