Minutes of the College Council Meeting of March 8, 2004
Present: Dr. Fallo, Dr. Caldwell, Ms. Caldwell, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Hata, Ms. Pickens, Mr. Samimi, Ms.
Velasquez, and Ms. Stewart.
1. As of today there are no more faculty resignations. By next week we should have a good feel
of how many faculty members we will hire.
2. ASO is trying to get 110 students to attend the March on March.
3. Our base went from 18,297 to 18,007. We lost 290 in FTES. Growth this year will be funded
at 65%.
4. There is some concern about the flyer John Means developed for the Interim Director of
Workforce Education. It appears that the job description on the flyer is different from the
Board approved version. The ECCE representative feels that you should not rewrite a job
description when there is already a current one available. One discrepancy is the years of
experience on the job description is 5 years and on the flyer it is three years. Dr. Caldwell will
check with John Means and bring back an explanation.
5. The student representative reported that the students do not want to present their proposal for
an increase in the decibel level until they do another student review to measure the sound
levels. The same process used last time to measure sound will be followed using the same
equipment. College Council members will be invited to participate.
6. The Student Council and Interclub Council voted in favor of increasing the college hour to 1.5
hours. They are also requesting that no classes overlap this period. Dr. Hata will bring this
issue to the Deans Council. Dr. Hata will also bring back how many classes would overlap if
we changed college hour from 12:30-2:00 or 1:00-2:30. Dr. Hata will also report any other
issues that might arise from this change. Each constituent group will be notified of this
proposed change for their information and input. This issue will be reviewed May 10, 2004.
7. ECCFT representative inquired as to what the cost would be to give the casual employees a
2.6% salary increase. It was reported that Pam Fees is already working on this request, which
came out of Planning & Budgeting Committee. Dr. Caldwell reported that in the past casual
employee pay increases have been tied to increases in minimum wage.
8. We will have from 3-4 openings on the Citizen’s Bond Oversight Committee. President Fallo
will bring recommendations to the Board as soon as he receives them.
