the new re-organization of the college and timeline for implementation.
The current plan is to have the plan in place at the end of the semester.

following positions: Development Grant Director, executive Director of
Chabot Foundation, Dean Academic Services (works under the VP

D. College Enrollment Management Committee (CEMC) – meets on 24 .

F. Facilities
i. Building updates: N. Moore noted 3400 has been vacated, the BMW technology group has
temporarily moved to 1400. 1700 is still out for bid and instructors need to remove their
‘junk’ for ‘gutting’ to begin. 1200 has been opened without authorization. M&O and security
were not notified to cover the building resulting in all required facilities not being available
for students in scheduled classes. Disabled fitness center portable is being removed, they
will be moving into 2340 and the staff lounge in 2300. The request to use this space for the
Health Center has been denied. 2700 women’s locker room has been temporarily relocated,
parking and access to the pool has been rerouted with new fencing. Campus was notified by
email of these changes.
ii. Excess Measure B Funds: G. Watt noted the Board will need to approve the reallocation of
funds. Proposals included 5.9 million held for matching funds from the state for
improvements to 1600. This project has been approved by the state. We are waiting for
funding. Other projects include addressing safety and health issues by refurbishing 2100 and
2300. Furniture replacements and some retrofitting throughout campus (5M) are also being
considered. Two large projects will not be considered, they are: 35M to rehab the Biology
building and 57 Million to rebuild the library and building 100. A smaller project in building
100 downstairs has received architectural plans for their review. He explained only capital
projects could be funded with this money. Clean up projects are not allowed.
G. Health & Safety – N. Moore reported security is now directly connected with Hayward Police
Department. They are working towards this same connection with CSUEB campus security. The move
to 200 is completed but relocation of electrical campus components is ongoing. N. Moore is working
with G. Watt to establish a single point of contact via email/phone for security. N. Moore will check
into the current CCSecurity email to see who reviews the correspondence.
H. Planning, Review & Budget Committee (PRBC) – Y. Wu-Craig reported the committee is reviewing
the Program Reviews submitted on 2/28/2013. They are working to coordinate individual committee
results into a comprehensive study.
I. Technology Committee - G. Watt and C. Whiteside discussed the new webmaster position. It should
become part of the current classified hiring listing. The committee has created a new form to request
technology. http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ComputerSupport/ The Campus was notified of this by
email, by the committee. If a submission does not fall under their preview the committee will
forward it to the appropriate department.
J. Bookstore Advisory Committee – S. Stevenson reported the committee met with a regional

representative from Follett. They discussed the ongoing security issues at the bookstore. C. Whiteside
reported the bookstore agreed to begin renting the graphing calculators needed by students for a
st
variety of classes. Graduation is set for June 1 . S. Stevenson asked classified to review the email from
Yvonne/Bella and volunteer either as a marshal or to ‘walk’. Uniforms will be provided free of charge
to classified professionals. ASCC will be working with the bookstore setting up a graduation expo and
the event.
District Budge Study Group Y. Wu-Craig and G. Watt discussed the 3 (or is it 4) models that will be
voted on today at the committee meeting. The new model is on a revenue base not a growth model.
Simulations of funding effects (what if’s in relation to state funding increasing or decreasing) will be
presented today to the committee. The major issue is how District Office is to be funded. It is currently
funded at a one to one ratio. College grows, District grows. Chabot is looking to the District to partially
fund the Dental and Nursing Programs. Q. How will limitations to growth affect the District Office and
classified professionals? Faculty Association is pushing for a smaller District Office with more power at
the college level.
Decision/Discussion Items
A. Carlson Award Update. Y. Wu-Craig stated the $500 deleted from the fund has been replaced. C
Gentiluomo asked if the Senate will continue to fund this award. How the award will be funded this
year is still in discussion. Dr. Carlson never intended for the Classified to pay for their own award. The
Senate previously agreed to roll over previous candidates. C. Sannebeck, D. Kling and Y. Wu-Craig
volunteered to review the submission this year during the summer for an August award. Y. Wu-Craig
will send email to campus in May for recommendations.
B. April Flex Day C. Powell, Y. Wu-Craig and C. Sannebeck volunteered for this committee.
th
C. Election of officers and senators is set for May 14 reported G. Watt. All officers and the following
senators are up for election: C. Gentiluomo, C. Sannebeck, Betty Castaño, and Karen Metcalf. C.
Whiteside and D. Kling will work with G. Watt recruiting candidates, confirming eligible voters with
Human Resources and counting votes. Y. Wu-Craig asked the senators to think about running again
for their seats.
