The Three Rivers College Board of Trustees held its monthly meeting Wednesday at the Current River Career Center in Doniphan, Mo.
During its regular meeting, trustees heard the financial report, delivered by Chief Financial Officer Charlotte Eubank and the President's Report from TRC President Dr. Wesley Payne.
Eubank said in comparing financials through Aug. 31 to the same time last year, the college is slightly behind by about $320,000.
"That's indicative of our decreasing enrollment pattern that we anticipated and budgeted for," she said.
Eubank said TRC is about a quarter of the way through its fiscal year and that revenues and expenses are performing as expected.
Payne said during his report construction on the Libla Family Sports Complex continues to precede completion.
"They have poured the slab in the lobby and they poured the lower concourse," he said. "The FEMA portion is just getting touch up and final pieces of (owner)-provided materials."
Payne said the campus sidewalk and parking lot projects are continuing to progress.
"All the concrete work is done on the roundabout. It awaits basically patching with asphalt overlay. Coming next, the parking lots themselves have all been sealed. They are waiting for final framing," he said.
Payne said the Westover Building remodel is "making good progress."
He said school officials are awaiting price estimates for cutting in new doors before making a determination on whether or not to redesign or to proceed as planned.
"Yesterday (Tuesday) they were in flooring and final paint touch-up," he said. "So really the last piece of that is getting the door cut."
Payne said the potential doors will be a 12-feet tall system with a 13-feet tall opening and three stories of brick and non structural block. Requested bids on the project are taking a Payne also commented on several events taking place around campus during the past month. He said a well-attended club fair gave about 500 students the opportunity to get involved in TRC's various student organizations.
From Sept. 25-27, the college held Raider Preview Days and more than 650 area students toured the facilities. He also said during an Education Talent Search Extravaganza , youngsters were given the opportunity to see what TRC is all about.
Upcoming events include Excursions on Oct. 26, Once Upon a Mattress Nov. 2-5, and An Evening with Mark Twain, sponsored by TRC's Patrons of the Arts, on Nov. 16.
