Acceptance of Minutes:

 

            Minutes for 12/23/09 were approved with one correction.

 

Tom Johns the new Project Manager for the campus was introduced by Dr. Spink.  The campus has learnt a few things from the experience with the recent construction.  The previous building did not go through value engineering.  One contractor will be used instead of several and the project will go to bid. The Campus Master Planning Construction list was distributed and discussed.

 

The campus started out with $250 million originally, and we are now down to $219 million. Dr. Spink and Mike Bishop negotiated with the District who then gave them $10 million out of ADA. 

 

The suggestion of leaving the Science Building intact was discussed at CORE and discussion continued about the best alternatives, including modular building replacements. If the building had a paint and patch job done on it, it would not have to be retrofitted. 

 

A motion was passed to accept everything on the Campus Master Planning Construction list, to find out what the cost would be to demolish and rebuild a new building and the cost to paint and patch.  A decision was made to postpone the bid for a couple of days when David Hart and Tom Johns will come back with information on the costs which will then be brought to CPC at a special meeting to be held on Tuesday January 19 at 1:30 p.m.

 

The Harbor Teacher Prep Academy has agreed to buy bathrooms for the School.  The School also wants a site to build a new High School and the college has offered them the area near the Racquetball courts where the new facility will be built.  They will also get a new Contract with the Campus, which will mirror the one with Southwest College.

 

Anne Tomlinson distributed the College Review Self-Assessment Checklist, and the 2008-09 YE.  Ann Tomlinson said that the District Budget committee is getting concerned about the budget deficit.  The report was approved.

The role of the CPC was discussed.  There is concern about issues outside the purview of the CPC being brought before the committee, which is limited to Policy and Planning the area which it has the authority to address.  Any other matters that are brought before the Committee and which the Committee does not have the authority to address will only leave the complainant frustrated.

 

Administrative Report: Dr. Spink spoke about the Governors Budgets. EOP&S and Calworks will be hurt the most.  There will be less money for book vouchers and work study.  The Governor has stated that if he does not get Federal funding EOP&S could be eliminated. COLA will also be reduced. 

 

Budget Committee:  There is overall frustration with the budget level.  All colleges are showing deficit.  We have reduced our deficit from 3.5 to 2.5 million.  Mr. Gary Colombo’s survey is to be completed.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 3:30 p.m.
