PRESIDENTS REPORT
Yvonne indicated that she was not able to attend the July 17th Board Meeting,
as she was needed to attend the Hayward City Council Meeting in relation to
the “Promise Neighborhood” project. Vice President Gordon Watt attended
the Board Meeting in her place. President Wu-Craig gave a report on the
District Budget Study Group Meeting that had been held on the 17th at Las
Positas College. At the meeting, newly-hired consultant Mike Hill discussed
the process by which he will work with the various groups to update the
Allocation Model. He indicated that the process would take about one year
– first to agree on the model and then to implement it. The DBSG will meet
every two weeks during this process. Yvonne indicated that the meeting was
very productive with lots of voices heard.
VICE PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Gordon added from the DBSG on the work to update the Allocation Model:
the new model will be fluid and re-examined on a regular basis. It will be set
up to relate directly to funded programs. Gordon reported that at the Board
Meeting Dean Dale Wagoner was approved as interim Vice President of
Administrative Services and that also on the agenda and approved was a
change to the job qualifications for that VP position for both campuses so
that it no longer requires a Master’s Degree in an area related to finance.
Gordon also discussed the agenda item Polling Results for Potential Parcel
Tax and/or General Obligation Bond. A bond measure requires a 55%
approval and funds are limited to capital projects; a parcel tax gives more
flexibility in the use of funds generated and requires a 66 2/3% plus 1
approval. A vote on this topic will occur by August 10.
SECRETARY'S REPORT
Ginger had no report; she bid farewell to the senate.
TREASURER'S REPORT
Rosie reported that we have $85 in our co-curricular account and are
awaiting info on the rollover from last year ($2865.26) to appear on the
books. We have no money in the General Fund. Current total is $2950.26.
We are receiving $85 per month in payroll deductions and are awaiting
reimbursement from the ASCC in the amount of $150 related to expenses
for the dunking booth event in the spring. Senate funds were used for the
Classified Appreciation events in June. Starting at the next meeting, Rosie
will include specific details of expenses incurred over the previous period in
her report.
ACADEMIC POLICY COUNCIL REPORT
Edna Danher sent a memorandum stating “The Academic Policy Council
has not met this academic year 2011-2012. We have hope that it will meet
during the 2012-2013 academic year.”

SEIU REPORT
Catherine Powell gave an update on the recent Mediated Agreement
between SEIU and management. The ratification vote will occur on
Tuesday August 14 and not on July 26 as previously announced. This
change was made in hopes to better accommodate schedules, especially
those who work 9/10/11 month contracts or might be on vacation during
slower summer weeks.

Q & A WITH INTERIM CHANCELLOR CODA (not exact wording)
Q: If it saves money, can we have a 4 day work week all year?
A: It doesn’t save money. It ends up that there is always someone on
campus.
Q: With the air conditioners on, many people use portable heaters because
they are so cold. Can we look at correcting that?
A: Yes
Q: Too much watering of plants. Can we stop that?
A: It’s well water. It wouldn’t save any money if we cut it.
Q: There are lights on most of the time in buildings that no one is in. Is the
system broken and can we fix it?
A: Greg Corea said Susan could call Tim Nelson about lighting, heat, and air
conditioning.
Q: Can we get proper representation on Board Committees?
A: The board is looking into it.
Q: When we hire retired people who cost the most it doesn’t save and is a
constant complaint. What can we do about that? And what about another
SERP?
A: Not while Susan is interim because she doesn’t feel they save money for
the reason listed above.
Q: With parking fees and tuition going up couldn’t we and the board
members pay for our parking? It’s not fair to the students, but some faculty
are complaining because they say it’s not in their contract.
A: If we pay for parking the monies raised would only be able to be used for
parking lots.
(additional Classified comment) – It might stay off raising students parking
fees and for that reason it would be good.
Q: How will future layoffs be notified? Will there be more clarity on why
the layoff is happening?
(The next question was asked before this one was answered)
Q: Can we have get together in the future to build bonding between both sites
and the district? Could we do something like this at flex days?
A: It would have to be planned ahead of time because they are reported to the
state and currently they are not the same days at LPC and CC. They could be
planned that way if it was done far enough ahead.
-
Dr. Coda stated she will talk to the board about what she heard at our
meeting.
Q: Can we stay off hiring a new Chancellor and save some money?
A: The Board won’t do it.
Don’t waste energy and fight battles you can’t win. There may be 1 or 2
more layoffs at District. People will readjust and do more work for no more
money but with Title.
I am here until August.
Q: Will you pass on our concerns?
A: Yes. I know the person being recommended. I believe they will continue
the programs and work I am trying to set up. If not, I will be calling on them.
Q: HR has restarted “incoming interviews” for benefits and such. Could they
do an exit interview and include resume building and fake interviews to
benefit those being laid off?
A: Will pass that on.
