        The agenda was accepted as presented.  The minutes for September 15, 2004 were accepted as presented.

The college debt has increased to $800,000 with the addition of 90 sections for winter intersession.  Spring may have more classes.  Summer has 3 sessions with a 5-week early start (6/13), 8-week (6/20 start) and 5-week (7/18 start).  PACE courses will be in the second session. The Allocation Grant Taskforce will be on campus 11/22 to review our progress, strategies to address the debt and the programs not considered viable through program review.  There are about 500 fewer students this fall compared to last fall.

        The NE & SS users group received an update last Monday.  The key-less project is going out to bid         and will begin with the Administration building.  Leo Daly has been selected as the architect for the         PE/Wellness facility with the first drawings expected the end of October or beginning of November.

        The Accreditation format has changed and is arranged around themes and SLO’s.  The team         will be on campus Spring 2006.  Student Service managers are meeting on Standard 2B and have identified evidence for the guidelines, and are answering the standard questions.  The committee was         asked to look at the questions for any input they could provide.  The upcoming CSSO meeting will       focus on Student Service SLO’s with a rep from Santa Monica College sharing what the            accreditation team recommended regarding their report.  The report is to be a narrative with the         campus participating in a lot of dialogue.

        The sentiment was to retain the existing strategic plan.  A. Patterson would like to see more           emphasis on student services in goal #2. She will connect with A. Tomlinson.

        Program review is part of the accreditation process.  Student Service managers are meeting with    their staff in this review and hope to have a first draft 11/22.  Each manager is developing a one-            page student survey to evaluate services in their area.  The surveys to be distributed in the next few        months. Once the program review is complete, a program review committee will review the report.          Administration and Senate will sign off on the review.

·         Block Grant - $140,000.  Student Services will receive 10%.  One use request is to purchase            SARS Suite software for computerized counseling appointments.  The package is $15,000, however both EOPS and Matriculation are interested to contribute $5,000 each.  E. Colocho is   setting up a demo. 

·     Student Equity - report due 1/28/05.  This is a combined effort with Senate.  The deadline may                      be extended.  LAHC focus will be on the success rate of various ethnic groups.

·      Staffing - to request a certificated position, the position must be in the unit plan.  Staffing                     committee for classified meets 10/28.  CPC approved the SPOC position along with the 2             replacement custodial positions and a .5 locksmith.

·      Faculty Hiring Priorities Committee forum on 11/4 at 1:00 p.m. in PE137.  Presentations: 11/19.

·      High school principals and counselors meet 10/21 at LAHC to talk about future plans.
