Big Sandy Community & Technical College (BSCTC) exercises control over its physical resources in compliance with the
policies and procedures as outlined in the KCTCS Business Procedures Manual
[1].
Administrative Delegation for the control of the physical resources is evident from the top levels of KCTCS
down to the President of BSCTC, the Vice President of Business Affairs, the Facilities Management Specialist and Supervisors of
Maintenance and
Operations [2].
The tracking and monitoring of the institution's assets and inventory is assigned to a Facilities Management Specialist who
records purchase of equipment on an Asset Management
Addition Form [3],
tags equipment with KCTCS Inventory Labels and enters the equipment into the Peoplesoft Data Base. Two different lists of physical
resources are kept. The
Capital Assets list [4]
which is verified in the fall of each year and the Annual
Inventory list [5]
which is completed in the Spring of each year. Once verification is completed at the College, an
audit team from KCTCS Facilities Management visits the campuses to audit the assets and inventory and submits a follow-up report
on their findings [6].
The BSCTC Fleet of Vehicles [7]
is operated in compliance with KCTCS Business
Procedures Manual [8]
monitored by a Vehicle Request Form [9]
and the use of the vehicle is recorded by a Vehicle
Trip Log [10].
The vehicles' maintenance is monitored and recorded on a Vehicle Maintenance Log
[11]
and the maintenance operating
costs [12]
of the vehicles are monitored on an annual basis. In addition, each driver must complete a Driver
Certification Form [13]
and this list is then forwarded to KCTCS for insurance validation
purposes [14].
The Vice President of Business Affairs has the responsibility of scheduling the use of college facilities by external groups and
individuals; the Provost is responsible for scheduling the classrooms for use by the instructional program. External entities
desiring the use of College facilities are required to complete a Facility
Use Form [15].
Access to facility space approved for external use is controlled by the Maintenance and Operations staff once approved by the Vice
President of Business Affairs. The Pikeville and Hager Hill Campuses are monitored by a video surveillance system. In addition,
campus facilities and parking lots are monitored and patrolled by security officers during normal business hours and when the
campus is closed to provide extra security and control over buildings and grounds. Security officers complete a Daily
Security Log [16].
Also, the Maintenance and Operations staff on all shifts are instructed to be attentive of any questionable activities and to
report any such activities to the M&O Supervisor immediately. The building, room, and/or equipment keys are made available to
College personnel following submission and approval of a
Key Request Form [17]
by the Vice President of Business Affairs.
In addition to exercising appropriate control over physical resources, the physical resources have been determined to be adequate
in meeting the mission of the College. As evident in the compliance statement in
Core Requirement 2.11.2,
the faculty, staff, and administration believe that their physical resources and work environment is satisfactory.
