City of San Marcos – No Report
Space Usage Efficiency Report – Texas State received a perfect score of 200 for fall 2011.
FY 2012 Proposed Housing Renovation Projects – Report to be distributed at a later time when a
representative from the Department of Housing and Residence Life is present.
2012-043 – Engineering Technology RFM 3224A and 3241B – The project involves converting storage
rooms into office space. Cost estimate is $19,525. Department is requesting funding with completion by
fall semester. There were no objections from the Committee. Ms. Nusbaum will secure the appropriate
approvals to proceed.
2012-040 – Academic Development and Assessment JCK 150, 151, 152, 153, and 154 – Cost estimate is
$3,438.31 for carpet replacement. Ms. Nusbaum asked if Facilities Maintenance could cover the
expense. Mr. Compton will check. There were no objections from the Committee. Ms. Nusbaum will
secure the appropriate approvals to proceed if institutional funding is needed.
2012-095 – School of Art and Design JCM 2118 – Department is requesting lighting and furniture for
JCM 2118. Original cost estimate was between $28,000 and $30,200 but the school only has $15,000.
The cost estimate was revisited and a revised estimate of $17,000 was provided. The School indicated
they could fund the entire amount. There were no objections from the Committee. Ms. Nusbaum will
secure the appropriate approvals to proceed.
2012-029 – River House Parking Lot Closure/Construction – The root system of one of the trees next to
the River House has developed root decay. The recommendation from tree experts is to remove the
tree. The existing parking lot will eventually be returned to grass and a new 55 space parking lot will be
constructed next door to offset some of the loss of parking on Moon Street. Cost estimate is between
$200,000 and $230,000. Institutional reserves will be used to fund the project. There were no
objections from the Committee. Ms. Nusbaum provided the information to the committee since this
has already been approved by the President. Notification of the removal of the tree will be made in the
community before it is taken down.
2012-083 – New Agriculture Greenhouse Relocation – The greenhouse located on the roof of the
Agriculture Building needs to be relocated because of water leaks into the building. It will be located
adjacent to the Agriculture Building. President has approved this project and would like to move on this
quickly. Cost estimate $637,500. Funding is available. There were no objections from the Committee.
2012-049 – Agriculture AB 107 Meat Lab – The meat lab is currently not in compliance with USDA
standards and is a critical component to the department. Cost estimate $33,418. Funding has been
identified. This item was brought to the committee as information only since the president has been
involved and approved the project.
Relocation of Continuing Education staff to ASB North, 3rd floor, Relocation of Rural Talent Search staff
to Clevenger House, and Renovation Request for DARS for ASBN 141 and 120
Dr. Thorne has requested that Continuing Education and Rural Talent Search switch locations.
Therefore, three staff members from Continuing Education will relocate to ASB North and Rural Talent
Search will relocate to the Clevenger House. Additionally, DARS (Department of Assistive and
Rehabilitative Services) will remain in ASB North in their current space on the third floor. DARS assists
the Office of Disability Services. Dr. Sherri Benn feels this would benefit Rural Talent Search since most
of their traffic is from off campus and parking is always an issue. There were no objections by the
Committee. Ms. Nusbaum will wait on the renovations requests before seeking the approvals to
proceed.
