Meeting Minutes from February 28, 2013 distributed
Meeting started with a question about the function or purpose of the committee. After a
little discussion it was clarified that the shared governance committee gathers collegewide input concerning facilities and makes recommendations to the president.
Special Reports: Proposed $18.9million Measure B Budget re-prioritization
The committee focused on a November 15, 2012 budget printout delineating accounts
and amounts available for re-prioritization and discussing possible approaches to arrive
at committee recommendations. It was noted that $350,000 of the $18.9M had been
allocated to the B3400 renovation because the bids came in over the estimate. This
was approved by the Board.
A few questions pertained to the budget printout and the possibility of increasing the
amount available for college recommendations:
District-wide:
50100.551011 Labeled “Classroom, Lab Equipment, Chabot College” but used for all
college computer IT needs. Scott: Maybe improvement if college had more input into
the use of these funds. Tom: Were funds restricted to classroom support?
50100.551060 “Energy Projects”. Discussion/questions/suggestions centered on
possibility of leveraging some funds from this set-aside if Chabot projects included
“energy” features.
Doug proposed this as an approach the committee may wish to take as we try to make
recommendations for an eventual Board item target for May.
Proposal: Create 4 major areas to group recommendations and suggested preliminary
“working” amounts just to stimulate more committee discussion.
1. Match funds for State FFP (B-1600); $5.9M
2. Major Projects $5M

3. Minor Projects $2M, plus $1M to augment instructional equipment
4. Seismic issues $5M
Discussion followed concerning seismic needs and the equipment augmentation.
Consensus seemed to indicate that the augmentation ($1M) would be better used to
meet other needs. Committee members had differing ideas about the seismic issues
(Colonnade and B-100). Mark asked about how much a new B-2100 (Bio) would cost
and Doug indicated estimate for Master Plan was $33.2M. Mark asked Becky her
opinion on remodel versus new. She indicated that just fixing the ventilation would be
great.
Bob asked about property purchasing (potential San Leandro site for Fire Training),
Doug indicated that property acquisition was a district function.
Angela asked about the status of B-100 and Doug indicated he had just received the
cost estimate and will review and report out findings.
Project Status Update: Doug reported out per handout and also covered temporary
relocation of adaptive PE to the Rock Room, and going to BID for parking lot security
and Marque sign in 2 weeks.
Bob asked for clarification on current Fire ladder training in relation to current projects,
Doug suggested talking to project manager. Gene confirmed that Doug knew of
acoustic issues in 1200.
Susan thanked the committee for having thoughtful discussions on how to leverage
resources to meet student needs.
