presented by Neil Perkes as a token of appreciation. Lisa said the collaboration of BTECH and Logan

Preliminary FY 2020-2021 Student Enrollment & Outcomes
According to USHE Policy 205.10 “College Data Submission and Certification,” the president and the
executive vice president and provost conducted a careful review of the FY 2020-2021 enrollment
(headcount and membership hours), certificate, and placement data to certify the data is complete and
accurate and complies with the criteria outlined in USHE policies 200, 201, and 205. Michelle Welker,
data specialist, provided the Board with a review of the preliminary FY 2020-2021 Student Enrollment &
Outcome data as provided in the agenda. The overall growth for certificates awarded was 2.47%, which
underscores the students’ dedication to finish their certificates during the pandemic. Michelle
highlighted Master Esthetics, Welding Technology, Medical Assisting, and Dental Assisting as having the
most increase in graduates this year.Bridgerland Technical College Board of Trustees’ Meeting

Item 6
Budget Request – Capital Improvements
Paul James presented the prepared FY 2022-2023 Capital Improvement requests designed to make
major improvements or repairs to existing state buildings as provided in the agenda. The spreadsheet
provided represents a summary listing of the respective projects. The projects listed have been
identified by a combination of processes that include a Facility Condition Assessment conducted by the
state of Utah’s Division of Facilities, Construction, and Management (DFCM) and the Strategic Planning
process internal to the College.
The highest priority items for the College are:
1. $1,473,625 – Culinary Arts HVAC safety and upgrades to the lab, demonstration kitchen, serving
area, and classroom.
2. $244,140 – Master plan
3. 303,925 – Facility repurposing improvements
ACTION: Jeff Packer made a motion to approve the FY 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Request. Mike
Madsen seconded. Motion carried.
Item 7
Budget Request – Operating & Equipment Budget
President Campbell presented the preliminary FY 2022-2023 Operating Budget (Building Block) Request.
This draft list is a compilation of the budget needs and represents the current and immediate priorities
of the College. The budget is based on input from the Strategic Planning process, departmental advisory
committees, instructional departments, and administrative analysis. Some “trimming” of this list may
occur by the commissioner’s office and/or the Utah Board of Higher Education. Still, it represents the
best analysis of business and industry demand concerning the College’s ability to implement the request
during the coming months. Adjustments to this request may occur as Bridgerland responds to the
direction from the Board along with any additional guidance that might come from the Legislature
and/or the commissioner. When approved by the Utah Board of Higher Education, this request will be
forwarded to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget and the Office of the Legislative Fiscal
Analyst on its way to consideration during the next General Session of the Utah State Legislature.
The following are the budget priorities for FY 2022-2023:
1. Nursing Faculty (New Health Sciences Building)
2. Pharmacy Technician Faculty (New Health Sciences Building)
3. Medical Assisting Faculty (New Health Sciences Building)
4. Dental Assisting Faculty (New Health Sciences Building)
5. Health Faculty and IT Staff (New Health Sciences Building)
• Compensation Equity
• Custom Fit
• Equipment

permission to update the request when guidance from the commissioner and/or the Utah Board of
Higher Education is available. Neil Perkes seconded. Motion carried.
Item 8
Performance Funding Goals
The Utah Board of Higher Education and the commissioner have directed each of the institutions in the
state to prepare, adopt, and submit performance funding goals from FY 2021-2022 through FY 2026-
2027 with annual performance metrics for each year. The five-year target goal and the underlying data
were provided by the commissioner’s office. In addition to adopting the goals, the College has identified
a series of tactical plans to accomplish the goals. Performance-based funding resulting from meeting
these goals is scheduled to begin with FY 2023-2024. President Campbell led a discussion of these
metrics and the rationale for choosing them. Goals on Access, Timely Completion, and High Yield were
reviewed (see attachment). President Campbell said he has asked faculty and staff to (1) focus on
helping students successfully enroll, progress through, and go to work in a related field, and (2) help
secondary students who have started a technical education path to become post-secondary graduates
within three years of graduation.
Dr. Scott Theurer said sharing the unique student identifier with higher education would increase data
integrity. The Board anticipates this will be difficult to get parents to agree to release this information.
President Campbell suggested analyzing data by student number, but not student name or personal
information. No decision was made; only discussion occurred.
ACTION: Roger Pulsipher made a motion to approve the FY 2022-2027 performance funding goals. Larry
Williams seconded. Motion carried.

Item 10
Property Title Change
Utah Code Title 53B Chapter 2 Section 101 became effective July 1, 2017, which made Bridgerland
Technical College “bodies politic and corporate with perpetual succession and with all rights, and
franchises necessary to function as such.” It further states, “an institution of higher education may have
and use a corporate seal and may, subject to this title, take, hold, lease, sell and convey real and
personal property as the interest of the institution requires.” Pursuant to that language, Bridgerland
Technical College needs to transfer the title of its existing real property from the previous name and
governing authorities into its own name. Following advice and recommendation from the assistant
attorney general assigned to provide legal advice to the technical colleges, the authority to sign the title
transfer documents may be granted by the Board of Trustees to the president of the College.
ACTION: Eric Wamsley made a motion to grant authority to sign the title transfer documents in the
name of Bridgerland Technical College to the president of the College. Jeff Packer seconded. Motion
carried.
Item 11
Utah Board of Higher Education (UBHE) Report
Dr. Scott Theurer provided the following update from the Utah Board of Higher Education:
• Valirie Serawop, a student at Uintah Basin Technical College, is a new UBHE member. Her
contributions as a non-traditional student will be beneficial.
• By statute, an industry advisory council has been established. Members are nominated and
approved by the Governor with 13 members to meet at least twice per year. In the future,
discussion will be needed to establish communication of College advisory members and this
council.
• Performance goals are being gathered.
• Clock hour to credit conversion is in progress.
• Program alignment is underway to remove duplication and increase efficiency. Certificates
reviewed by a 3rd party are among the first to be considered. The Council on Occupational
Education has committed to reduce program change fees when submitted as a group.
• Tech colleges have been added to Utahmajors.org, which is used as a resource for parents,
counselors, etc.Bridgerland Technical College Board of Trustees’ Meeting
