About the results of operations in the annual plan of Yokohama City University in 2005
[Document 2] (PDF: 726KB) explained by the secretariat, and evaluation adjustments were made based on the work sheet.

1.Overall Evaluation
Even if four of the five evaluation committee members are the same, it is not simply adding the evaluation, but if the remaining evaluation of the remaining one evaluation is weighted, it will be evaluated as a committee . In any case, items with different evaluations by each committee member will be coordinated by the committee.

2.Evaluation by item
“1.-4 Efforts to Achieve Research Goals”
・Since various initiatives have been undertaken, their willingness is evaluated, but considering the results after the efforts, I think it will take a little more time.

・It is highly appreciated that the joint research fund has increased 2.1 times.
Even if it is 2.1 times, we haven't worked on it before, so if you make a little effort, it can double as soon as possible. It's hard to double what we already have a considerable track record, but I guess the original base numbers are small.

・Conventional universities did not have strategically decided on priority areas. Since universities are exploring the truth, faculty members have been free to conduct research in their respective fields, but it is a breakthrough to put this into several areas and focus on allocating research funds. A large university, such as Yokohama City University, can be highly evaluated for having a cross-sectional strategic goals.

“4. Efforts to Achieve Goals for Affiliated Hospitals”
・From the explanation (corporate) explanation, I got the impression that I was doing well about the affiliated hospital. There are many explanations that we have just started our efforts, so we look forward to the results two or three years from now.

・Specific objective figures are shown in the explanation, but all of them have achieved the target values. I think we are actually doing what we need to do with regard to the measures.

・It is highly appreciated that we are working on patient convenience, such as payment at credit cards and convenience stores, but the occurrence of accounts receivable is an issue because of emergency services. In the future, it may lead to an increase in accounts receivable, so why not add that you will consider how to deal with it?

“5. Efforts to Achieve Corporate Management Targets”
・It is natural that the city's organization has been focusing on education due to the nature of a university, but in the future it is necessary to strengthen management initiatives such as finance and personnel affairs.

・While the top down, universities have to respect the independence of teachers, universities have to respect the independence of teachers. You must also consider a top-down method that enhances the independence of teachers.

“5. ― 1. Efforts to Achieve Goals for Improving Management”

・Fostering specialists in finance and human resources is important in order to become independent and independent administrative agencies.

・The number of students per clerk at national and public universities is small. In other words, private schools are working with a small number of elites. Until now, a specialist will never be able to develop a specialist.

“5. — 2. Efforts to Achieve Goals for Improvement and Efficiency of Business Operations”
・When introducing the tenure system and annual salary system, I think that if we do not introduce the tenure system, we will miss talented people.

（３） Approval (draft) of financial statements and appropriation of retained earnings for the fiscal year 2005

[Document 3] (PDF: 130KB) The corporation and the secretariat provided explanations by the corporation and the secretariat, etc., and confirmed the appropriateness of the financial statements and examined "approval of appropriation of profit". Regarding the statement of opinion (draft), there was a proposal from the chair and approved.

※Major exchange of opinions, etc.
・We believe that the “Financial Statements” have been properly prepared in accordance with the accounting standards for local independent administrative agencies.

・The independent auditor should evaluate the fact that the independent auditor has submitted an audit report stating that it is "appropriate" and that two auditors have also submitted an audit report stating that the results of the accounting audit are correct.

・In the income statement, most of the extraordinary losses and extraordinary profits are unique to the first term and received free transfer from the city, so they are considered to be special factors. Based on these special factors, we believe that it is appropriate to use the entire net income to contribute to "improvement of the quality of education, research and medical care and the improvement of organizational management."

・The fiscal base is weak, and it will be serious in the next fiscal year. It is necessary to have such recognition. The tuition fee revision was included in the plan, but we have to start up the plan as soon as possible. The government must also work on the financial base and actively cultivate other than tuition fees. We must work with speed from a medium- to long-term perspective.

・Cost reduction also worked well in FY17, but it will not be the same in FY2018. We will have to narrow down this year. On the other hand, the results of industry-academia collaboration will be achieved first, but seeds must be sown. We must consider increasing income. The finances are not optimistic.
