2. Special Reports
Proposed $18.9million Measure B Budget re-prioritization
Doug provided a detailed handout showing entire status of Measure B funding and detailed where reprioritization funding was available. Details included not using possible match funds needed when State gives final approval for their projects (B-1600) and not using funds from projects that have already started into design and construction phases. There was some Q&A to recall history of building 2100 efforts and confirmation that B-100 was on target and funded.
Mark asked when and Doug indica ted that “hopefully” will start in the summer. Committee is open to all campus-wide discussions including input coming in the program review process.
Tour of B2100, Biology
Rebecca Otto and the Biology Department were well prepared with handout, students, smells, and more to present their facility needs to the committee. Testimonials and Q&A included a look at possible short and long term solutions. There were conflicting opinions as to some of the historical reasons why/how 2100 was not included in the original Measure B priority list and how the 2100 facility has not kept pace with changes in the teaching/learning of the biological sciences.
