09:00 AM -- University of Northern Colorado Campus Recreation Facilities 202 Request
Dr. Bob Hetzel, representing the University of Northern Colorado (UNC), presented the request to the committee. UNC requests cash funds exempt (CFE) spending authority to make various improvements to recreation and athletic facilities on the UNC campus. See Attachment B for the staff write-up for this request. According to Dr. Hetzel, UNC has completed a study of its recreation and athletic facilities and has identified and prioritized improvements to its campus recreation center, recreation and sports fields, and shared athletic facilities. Dr. Hetzel stated that the improvements are necessary to meet demand for the facilities and to meet requirements of the university's new Division I athletics status.
The project is a SB 92-202 request, meaning that the facilities will be designed, constructed, and operated with non-state funds. The project will be funded using proceeds from the sale of bonds
. In April of 2005, students approved a fee increase of $44 per semester. The student fee will be used to pay the principle and interest on the bond financing. Dr. Hetzel responded to questions from the committee.
