Leadership Class Reimbursement
BACKGROUND:
Last year’s Student Senate (that of 2013-14) authorized SSCC funds to be used to cover the unit cost ($46 per unit) of the student government leadership class taught by Professor Parker, but unfortunately the record for this authorization cannot be located. At least one individual from a previous senate still needs to be reimbursed for this expenditure.
The leadership class allowed for Student Senators to hone and/or practice their skills as student leaders and representatives (in broadest terms) by providing a venue for SSCC business to be conducted, and completed during the class meeting time(s) with needed lessons on leadership and procedure.
Given this year’s general studies class is again taught by the SSCC Faculty Advisor (albeit a different advisor), and which has a similar purpose as the leadership class that came before it; it is perhaps good to reauthorize this expenditure for Fall 2014.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I recommend the Student Senate reauthorizes the SSCC policy from 2013-14 to cover the cost for the leadership class, for SSCC Senators for Fall 2014.

Need for Clarity around SSCC Interns
BACKGROUND :
Past practice indicates that ALL volunteers with SSCC were mislabeled as “interns” and therefore certain policies were observed, such as these individuals not being permitted to use
SSCC computers or be in the office unless an SSCC member was present. However, the correct meaning of “intern” refers to a person who has been accepted to an organization on a more formal basis to train in a specific role. This is very different from a person showing up to volunteer for an SSCC event or help out with a project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I recommend that the SSCC establish, in writing, a policy for taking on interns, and spell out clearly the expectations, examples of work an intern can do, and any restrictions. I recommend, for example, that an intern be appointed to work under a specific Executive, with an expectation of 3 or more hours per week devoted to SSCC work, and that interns be provided with
Groupwise access, a parking permit, and full access to the SSCC office and equipment needed to carry out that work.

Office Equipment
BACKGROUND:
The office is in need of some equipment. The first being an air conditioning unit or AC unit given the usual hot temperature in the SSCC office.
Also, we could use a projector for the Scribe Room so that it may be used during committee meetings and/or hearings.
Lastly, in order to be better identified by our constituents for the purposes of proper representation, we should purchase a laminating machine so that we may make our
SSCC badges and make this equipment available for student clubs to use as well.
Please see below:
1. Honeywell MN10CESWW 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote
Control - White- $397.12 Shipping from Amazon
2. AmazonBasics Thermal Laminating Pouches - 8.9-Inch x 11.4-Inch (100-Pack)- $12.99

3.
Epson VS230 SVGA 3LCD Projector, 2800 color lumens, 2800 white lumens (V11H552220)- $339.99

Proposed change to bylaws re: filling Vacancies - 2nd Reading
BACKGROUND: :
In order to properly adopt and implement our new Executive Officer appointment process and/or option for filling Executive Council vacancies; I propose the following SSCC Bylaws changes at this second consideration of the proposal.
I propose the following to be incorporated into the SSCC Bylaws:
Under Article I, Section I:
Change:
I. Executive Council
Members of the Executive Council shall be elected to a term of office commencing the first day of the fall session and ending the last day of regular instruction for the academic year.
To:
I. Executive Council
Members of the Executive Council shall be elected to a term of office commencing the first day of the fall session and ending the last day of regular instruction for the academic year, unless appointed during the Fall Semester as described in Section IV of

SSCC Meeting
September 29, 2014 this article; in which case the term of office of individual Executive Officers shall begin following confirmation by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the full Student Senate-with voting power(s).
Additionally, add subsection E to Article I Section IV to state:
E. The Student Senate of Chabot College (SSCC) may opt to fill vacancies of the
Executive Council in the Fall semester through appointment by a two-thirds (2/3) majority vote of its voting members. If
The aforementioned policy is adopted, the Election Committee shall be tasked with establishing and enforcing the logistical and/or procedural aspect of its implementation which shall consist of a written application and panel interview process.
Upon vetting interested SSCC members and students, the committee shall forward a list of recommendations of qualified applicants to the full Student Senate for ratification.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I recommend the Student Senate approve the Bylaws changes from above which outline the previously agreed upon method for filling vacancies of the Executive Council.

Bylaws Revision: Budget Committee Name - 2nd Reading
BACKGROUND :
As previously communicated to the full Student Senate, I would like to rename the Budget
Committee to the “Student Senate Appropriations Committee.”
As explained the reason for this is two-fold:
1
St
. The role of the SSCC Budget Committee has become specialized in the monthly funding allocation process rather than a general budgetary one as was previously the case.
In other words, the role of the committee has evolved to specialize in the allocation of discretionary funds for specific purposes as opposed to general budget overview.
2 nd
. Officially changing the name will prevent any further confusion by the college (and those students privy to the college governance structure) regarding which committee will be reviewing his or her funding application. It is the case of the question of: “College Budget Committee” V.
Student Senate Budget Committee and what is the difference?”
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I recommend for the voting members of the 2014-15 Student Senate to adopt the renaming of the“SSCC Budget Committee” to the “SSCC Appropriations Committee” at this Second Reading of the proposed change.

Trustee Kate Dolorito
Student Trustee Written Report for September 29, 2014
BACKGROUND:
On September, 16, 2014, the Board of Trustees discussed and approved the budget for the
School Year 2014-2015. The budget is about 87 million dollars for the whole Chabot-Las
Positas Community College District. 58% of the given amount will go to Chabot College; that's about 51 million dollars. These funds came from the California State Government; The other grants the college received like Measure B is not included in the 87 million because most of these grants comes locally through local measures. There are concern on how the budget will be when Prop 30 dies. Prop 30 was passed on November 2012 election; it is a proposition that increases funding to schools and colleges by taxing the rich. The proposition is only good until
2016.

Classified Senate Meeting
Meeting was cut short due to a baby shower that was thrown for a former classified member. Discussions are on the table about the complications on why a website called
"WebMaster" [I believe] is taking months to be made. Also informed that this other item is being taken care of before "Webmaster" though that item was just recently decided to be made. We have funds that need to be distributed between both Las Positas and
Chabot College for this upcoming year so that will be soon decided/discussed more on.

Staff Development Committee
At this meeting, my first while serving on this committee, we had a debrief of the 9/02 flex day. We reviewed the flex day faculty feedback (mostly positive) and determined that in order to receive more meaningful feedback we would restructure the survey. At the end of this meeting we had a very brief overview of the upcoming 10/16 flex day.
The details of the upcoming flex day would be discussed at the following committee meeting, scheduled for 9/16.
09/16/2014
Staff Development Committee
At this particular meeting we assembled a "rough draft" for the 10/16 flex day. Here, we determined that faculty would benefit from a fire, earthquake, and lockdown safety drill as a majority have not been well trained in certain emergency situations. The majority of the meeting was spent on constructing the 10/16 flex day agenda to allow for a safety drill and debrief/training. Towards the end of this meeting the chair of the committee,
Professor Warda, let me know that SSCC could have 5 minutes at the morning flex day presentation. To which I notified both Jesse and Noeli about this. The following committee meeting is scheduled for 9/30.

Committee on Online Learning
Committee on Online Learning (Cool) supports faculty in Online/Hybrid course delivery ventures as well as the development of course delivery plans and proposals. At this meeting the committee members discussed their role as the Committee On Online
Learning. They discussed their criteria for a Online/Hybrid course to be proposed and submitted. According to Ms. Wong, Faculty members interested in teaching a course in
Online/Hybrid delivery can view the complete Online/Hybrid Course by accessing www.chabotcollege.edu/cool/Proposal Process. This information pertaining to this committee is vital to the success of students who depend on the convenience that
Chabot College offers through their online courses. As a result, the members of this committee responsibly review the planning and or implementation of these courses.

Planning, Review, and Budget Council
Planning, Review and Budget Council (PRBC) lead the college in planning and the integration of those plans with resource allocations (including development, implement and assessment of plans, and resource allocation), At this particular meeting the council discussed the revision and updated program review: forms, dates, Ed. Master Plan, and website. The next topic of discussion was Shared Governance Committee website support. At this moment each Committee is taking the opportunity to create an updated version of their website. During this meeting, I took the opportunity to inform members of the Student Life Calendar,Literacy Drive, and Town Hall Meeting. We also discussed
PRBC’s strategic plan initiatives, these initiatives allow members of the council to sit down as a collective body. It is here where they constructively discussed the option to implement.

Student Equity/SSSP Council
Introductions as this was the first meeting of the semester. There was good news for this meeting. Senate Bill 860, was signed into law on June 20, 2014. Article 1.5 (Student Equity
Plans) was added to Education code 78220. $70 millions was approved by the California State
Legislature for this. Divided up among different CCC’s. I have budgets if you are curious. We received handouts delineating exactly what this fund can be used for, and what it cannot be used for.To sum it up, you can use it towards the goal of Student Equity. And I have handouts with more specific details. So, we need to spend this money!
09/18/2014
Read the previous report if you would like specifics as to where and how this new funding approved by our Governor and the California Legislature got approved, like bill specifics. Also, ask me if you would like to see any documents as to what this funding can go to. (SB.860).
Virtually anyone can propose a plan to get funding for a program if they would like, if you would,
I would encourage you to attend these meetings. They occur the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month. In the coming meetings various representatives of groups will be proposing plans for review.There are eligible and ineligible expenditure guidelines for funding directed toward
Student Equity. Again, I highly suggest that if anyone is interested in this, to attend the meetings.

Curriculum Committee
First, we did introductions, followed by a recap of the last meeting which happened last semester.Wayne Pitcher, who is the chair, attended the Curriculum Institute in the summer. He learned a bunch of things about curriculum. If you want to see the handouts from that institute, he said they are up on the either the SSCC website, or
SSCC website. Which I am not too sure because I did some searching and couldn’t find what he was talking about. But if anyone wanted to look, my best guess would be to look wherever curriculum committee info gets posted.The bulk of the meeting was spent on discussing CurricuNet and getting that up and running, accreditation, SLO’s. And

SSCC Meeting
September 29, 2014 most of that time was spent on discussing the management of it, more or less.
Accreditation packets were also handed out if anyone was interested.
