Meeting called to order at 2:05 p.m. 

        The agenda was accepted as presented. 

        The minutes for May 10, 2006 were approved as presented.

Membership of the committee for this year was discussed.  New classified and faculty reps are needed.  Only one rep is needed from A & R.  David will continue as an administrator.  Dr. Richards will in the future.  Nina will check on student rep involvement.

No new news on the budget.  There is concern about identifying a better way to distribute the supply money from community services. A. Tomlinson indicated the Budget Committee may be meeting with individual areas to review their budgets.  However the Budget Committee has not met in some time and they lack a co-chair.  A. Patterson noted the purpose and norms of the committee need to be discussed and not hold any reviews until the Budget Committee is functional.  Discussion followed about identifying funds that are discretionary non-restrictive vs. those with restrictions.  Budget presentations could be done at the administrative level to avoid some past negative experiences.

The District Budget Committee may be able to provide some helpful information.  The accreditation team recommended the college generate its own funds and not wait for the district to provide adequate funding.  A positive outlook with new ideas to grow funds for the budget is needed.

·        The district has recommended all buildings be designed and go to DSA whether funds are available or not.  The college will then be ready if funding comes available.

·        Design of the Child Development Center is complete and will go to DSA in a couple of weeks.  However it is not known if funds will be available. 

·        Humanities/Theater area is still struggling with PAC/WEST.  A lot of the construction has been done incorrectly, an example being a concrete slab needing to be poured 4 times.  PAC/WEST has been given a deadline with notice to finish the punch list by November 4.  The college has held back payment. 

·        The wood wall along Figueroa Place and L Streets cannot be moved back without going back to DSA. New signage will be installed, along with encouraging students to use the south tunnel under the freeway which has been painted and has a cadet posted during selected times.

·        The Tech Building has gone to bid.

·        The physical plant and facilities has a bid and will be going to Board for approval.

·        Athletic Field - 2 for the 4 stadium lights did not fit their base and need DSA approval.

·        ASO Concession Stand - has substandard features including no metal windows/grates to close when not in operation, poor counter design, flimsy materials.

·        The original artist of the Aztec painting on the south side of the Business Building, has agreed to replicate the painting on canvas to be displayed inside ASO.  The only costs will be for supplies and materials.

·        NE Instructional Building - a compromise was reached for a white board/chalk board combo unit for the new classrooms.  The faculty and architects had different recommendations.

·        The auto metal building and CC machine have been sold.  There are a few old cars without pink slips that need to be disposed of.

·        Landscaping - the Million Trees group will provide the campus with free trees.

Last year, Student Services accomplished the following through retreats and on-going meetings.

·        Program Review

·        Successful Accreditation & the Team Visit

·        SLO Design

·        Fostering of Team Spirit

 

This year Student Services will revisit program review, obtain sign-offs, improve retention, and design measurement tools for SLO’s.  A. Patterson noted that the CSSO conference will talk about measuring SLO’s, and staff development will have a retreat on the topic. Other schools can provide examples on how they measure SLO’s.  A joint Enrollment Management committee of Student Services and Academic Affairs is looking at retention strategies along with roles and how it all fits together.
