Message fromPresident EscamillaProgress on campus and throughout the community defined the 2009-2010 academic year at Del Mar College.

The College enrolled a record 12,069 credit students in the fall semester. The College launched the first American GI Forum student chapter in the nation to commemorate Dr. Hector P. Garcia Day; and students in the new biotechnology program interned with M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory engaging in research usually reserved for college seniors and graduate students.

Geology instructor Vernon Kramer commanded a simulated mission to the planet Mars, GED program director Christine Palacios was one of the first in the nation to earn national GED certification, and English Professor Emeritus Mike Anzaldúa was “roasted” to raise funds for Mariachi Del Mar.

The first DMC Alumni Association mixer enticed community members to enjoy decadent desserts prepared by the Culinary Arts students along with two- and three-dimensional art from the Fine Arts program. College leadership supported the BoldFuture for the Coastal Bend community visioning initiative that developed a Vision Action Plan of 250 actions to improve the economy, education, environment, safety, health, planning and leadership of the College district.

Collegiate High School, our collaboration with the Corpus Christi Independent School District, celebrated more than 60 graduates of its first graduating class that completed Del Mar College degrees and/or certificates before receiving their high school diplomas.

To meet our strategic goal of providing more access to excellent education, we opened the Northwest Center to serve students in that corner of our District. We also celebrated re-opening of the St. Clair Building with the Student Success Center and Collegiate High School, the result of a $3 million renovation. College Regents also expanded educational opportunities to meet community needs with the new Associate in Science Degree in Engineering and Associate in Applied Science Degree in Engineering Technology.

If I’ve piqued your interest with these fast facts, I invite you to enjoy this Annual Report for Del Mar College.

College District Tax

Del Mar College Annual Financial ReportDel Mar remains fiscally sound. A complete financial condition and history based on assets, liabilities and net assets for all funds and account groups is detailed extensively in the College’s Annual Financial Report for each of these years and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for 2010.

Assets

Current assets are those resources reasonably available within one year. Unlike other forms of assets, cash and equivalents such as checking account balances and demand deposits, can be used immediately for current operational needs, such as meeting the payroll or paying vendors. Short-term investments represent the College’s holdings in allowable financial instruments due within one year. Receivables represent those monies due to the College but not yet available for use; examples include property taxes not yet paid and accrued interest.

Noncurrent assets are the College’s long-term financial and plant resources.

Restricted cash is the College’s endowed scholarships transferred to the Foundation in 2010. Bond issuance cost was the cost of issuing bonds which is being amortized over the life of the bonds. Plant and equipment account for the College’s equity in land, buildings, real estate improvements (such as roads and security lighting), and capital equipment expenditures such as computer network servers and digital projectors.

Liabilities

Current liabilities are short-term obligations. Accrued payroll, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities represent amounts due to employees or vendors for services, supplies or equipment provided to the College. Unearned revenues include property taxes and student tuition billed for the fall term and not yet earned.

Noncurrent liabilities represent long-term obligations, usually due over a number of years.

Net Assets

Net assets are the accumulated resources invested in plant and equipment.

Property Taxes

The local property owners provide almost 38 percent of total resources for the fiscal year 2010. However, for a typical homeowner, Del Mar’s 2010 rate of 0.258 dollars per $100 assessed valuation represents only 10 percent of the tax bill. This compares with a local school district rate of about 1.237 dollars and the City of Corpus Christi rate of 0.582 dollars per $100 assessed valuation.

Property taxes are a significant source of revenue for all Texas community colleges.

Revenues by SourceLocal residential and business property owners continue as the primary source of revenues for the College, followed in order by federal financial aid and grants, state apportionment and then student tuition and fees.

Operating revenues decreased by $1.4 million from 2009 to 2010 fiscal years, primarily due to an increase in scholarship allowances funded by the federal government.

Non-operating revenues increased by $8.2 million primarily from an increase in federal financial aid and property tax revenue. Scholarship allowances are reductions of tuition and fees funded by outside sources such as federal Pell grants. Investment income earned decreased due to very low interest rates. Operating expenses increased $5.6 million due to increase in scholarship funded by federal financial aid.
