The bond premiums included $558,397 for the Health Science Center, $420,000 of this will be used to move the dental clinic, $321,332 bond premium for the Veterinary Medical Tech Building, $347,417 for the Civic Center Renovations, and $257,065 for the ESTC and Main Campus Renovations. Dr. Price mentioned certain items that may need to be addressed to prevent and minimize expenses in the future such as parking lot resurfacing, thermostat replacement, and roofing needs. He also added that the College currently rents space for the large animal program, which will soon no longer be available, thus they are looking at areas to relocate this program. The Board of Commissioners will need to take action by way of a budget amendment to apply bond premiums to these identified needs. Page 113
