Harford Community College Agenda March 8: County Funding Cut, Building Renovations, Drug Abuse Policy Review

A county funding cut and related adjustments to operating budget revenue top the preliminary agenda for the March 8 meeting of the Harford Community College Board of Trustees. The cut to current operating revenue stems from a recent request by Harford County Executive David Craig that the college return 3% of allocated county funding for FY11. Craig’s action was the result of changes in the fiscal outlook, according to county spokesman Bob Thomas.

Also on the agenda are contract approvals to renovate the observatory building and add classrooms, and a drug abuse policy review. The full agenda appears below:
