Addendum One
Budget Committee Report
Submitted by Heather Hernandez
The College Budget Committee last met on November 10, 2015. There was
discussion around the membership of the committee and when the
membership was last approved. The last approved committee membership
and charge that was approved by the college was in 2006. There seems to
have been a revision around 2009, but an official document has not been
found. From that 2009 revision the current membership of the committee is:
4 Administrators, 6 Academic Senate representatives, 2 Classified Senate
representatives, 1 each Faculty Association and SEIU representatives, and 1
Associated Students representative. The committee has made a
recommendation to College Council and PRBC to keep the membership the
same for all other groups and add one more seat for a Classified Senate
representative. We would be going from two seats to three if approved by
College Council and the President. President Sperling also forwarded our
request to the Faculty Senate as the senate is currently reviewing shared
governance structure and process at the college and will be submitting their
recommendations shortly.
VP Willis reported on budget meetings happening at the district level. There
is $4 Million dollars that the district has not run through the budget
allocation model. No decision on how that money will be spent or divided
between the colleges has been made. We received mid- year funding from
the state to hire new full-time faculty.
