The question was asked “If there was more money coming up, how
would it affect job openings?”There was a discussion of why jobs
were let go, and how there are current specific needs in departments
around the campus. The administration is aware of the needs and
present them to the board routinely.

There was also a discussion on “on-call” positions vs. permanent
positions.
There was also a discussion about the allocation model and how that
would affect the campus and our ability to hire in the future.
Dr. Sperling provided the current prioritization list for classified
positions with 2 new positions through the Mentor program that will
be available to classified personnel.
Dr. Sperling spoke about the reorganization. Her ideas of what would
happen, how it would be written and how the mapping of workload
would play out. There were 7 recommendations that the
Reorganization Committee Retreat came up with.
The role of the Dean of Social Science and School of the Arts was
discussed. Should the position be split. They will be taking thoughts
on that from faculty and administration as well as classified.
There was a discussion of the Learning Connection and the library
about whether one or both may be moved to Student Services or
remain under the Language Arts Division.
This, and other decisions (like where should the TV Studio go) will
wait until the Faculty returns.
Dr. Sperling discussed the Grant Writer and how that is morphing
into a new position at the administrative level.
Voting for Senate Representatives:
Catherine Gentiluomo
Yvonne Vanni
Michele Iriarte
Motion passed unanimously
Classified Senate Representative on Staff Development is now Catherine
Gentiluomo. Please give her feedback. Allocated funding now available for
classified professionals.
If Yvonne takes new position we will lose her as Classified President.
Dr. Carlson brought proposal to former president who created Carlson
Award. Yvonne spoke to Susan and Lorenzo Legaspi. Because of different
problems with the district on using funds we are voting on establishing our
own fund. We can’t get a good accounting of our funds. District didn’t
agree with the terms so Dr. Carlson will get the 10,000 check back. What
happens to the award? Can we change the terms? Would new foundation
kick in the difference? We should ask Dr. Carlson “will you change the terms
temporarily?” Can we kick in something or just use the funds instead of just
the interest?
Vote: Do we set up a foundation? NO
Chasity, Cheryl, Catherine, and Lisa will be on the committee (Outstanding
Classified Professional) which Gordon will head.
Plaques can be ordered ahead of time at $10 a piece or $150 for a group.
$200 with engraving.
College Day of Convocation is when we will announce the winner.
Announcement will be made by the previous year’s winner – Yvonne.
Classified Senate Retreat Planning is set for Thursday August 8th in the
afternoon. It will start with Lunch and go from 11:30 to 4:00. We will offer
a combination of salads and soups. Senate will pay for the sandwiches and
the side dishes will be potluck.
On Wednesday the 14th in the afternoon there will be an Ice Cream Social in
the Lunch room of 700 between 2: - 3:30. There will be sugar free and dairy
free options.
Nate: Parking Fees may rise from $2 to $3, and to $30 for a full ticket.
Mission College is at $45. We are one of the lowest in the Bay Area and it is
affecting us. We can’t maintain what we have. We lose Holidays, Saturday
nights and Sundays for the Theater, or Soccer tournaments. If we did 24/7 it
would fill our lost position and help keep it. Also $35 is the lowest for
citation rates. It is $65 at other campuses. We lose the first 3 weeks of
school. Faculty and Staff have their own parking. Even though they get free
parking doesn’t mean they should park in student lots.
Y Wu-Craig: We are now reviewing different terms in Chancellors Council.
Students would agree if Faculty guarantee was secured.
Katrin: If we bring up 24/7 and daily – could we save the increase to student
parking?
Nate: Trying to change machines to credit card is a $25,000 cost. We should
raise $1 on daily. If you see Faculty parking where they shouldn’t, write a
note on their car and let them know they are taking a student’s spot away.
Administrative Assistants need to get key requests in.
