From the meeting
At its August 19, 2026 meeting, the board backed a maintenance-level funding request tied to rising electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, stormwater, wastewater management, and garbage collection costs at the colleges. The document says utility costs across the system rose about 37 percent from fiscal years 2022 to 2026, or almost $13 million annually. Final request amounts were still pending updated fiscal year 2026 data before the state budget submission.
Utility providers and energy efficiency vendors should track this as a budget trigger for future operating support and cost-reduction projects.
