1. Committee Membership, Scope and Responsibilities as stated in Committee Handbook
Cabinet members will be responsible for passing along information to confidential employees
a. Improving means/methods of scheduling district-wide meetings (Mark R.)
 Angelina will teach Mark Renner how to use existing committee tool.
 District to set meeting times – add Department and Division meetings to the
list to avoid conflict
 CRFO and Administration to discuss adding committee assignments to load
sheets. Both have an interest in clarifying 3.9.3 of the contract.
2. Marketing Consultant Focus Groups & Retention Campaign (Angelina)
Send messages with a positive tone and using student personnel emails. We will be doing an
important date text campaign. Angelina is working on 6 focus groups involving students, faculty,
staff, and high school counselors with the marketing consultants. RSVP’s will go out this week.
We are getting rid of all the slogans and tag lines in order to be on the same page.
3. Update on DMV record checks (Doug)
We will only require a DMV “pulls” when the law requires it. We will be changing the
language on the Personnel Auto Use form. Mark R. had concern that there is no criteria
for driving records and John would like to involve the bargaining units as this is a
working condition. John also would like to know what happens to the DMV information
as it’s very sensitive.
4. Personal property in District facilities (Doug)
Would like to get the word out to be caution when bringing personal property to work as if
something were to happen the district would not reimburse for it.
5. Transfer of Territory Update (Keith)
The petition and resolution has been approved but both Board of Trustees, it is now with the
county superintendents. John asked if there was anything we can do to help the process move
along and not get stopped by a complaint. Keith mentioned that is why we are starting the
process early to handle any issues that arise.
Next meetings: October 12th @ 9am
Agenda Items:
1. CR Talking Points to use when out in the community.
