The transition of the Bookstore to Follett should be complete by
finals week in December. Faculty book orders should have already
gone in. Faculty should not need to resubmit book orders for spring.
Follett is currently conducting the text buy back and taking
inventory. Procedures should remain the same. Email faculty and tell
them to send in book orders. There will still be a textbook rental
program.

Discussion Items
Doug Horner from Facilities and Mani Farhadi - Associate from Steinberg
Architects, reported on the Master Plan Update.
Doug Horner said the update of the Master Plan is in progress. The existing
plan was done in 2005. 80% of the Measure B budget has been used. The
current Master Plan will cost more than the bond. There is a need to prioritize
and restructure the plan. In addition there is a need for a 5 year facility capital
plan. This is an ongoing process. The Facilities Committee is going to pull
ideas from multiple sources to draft the educational master plan. Unit plans
have some needs listed that involve facilities. Measure B money cannot be
used for staff. IT is drawing up district wide master plan. They are looking at
what didn’t get done such as pulling fiber through all pipes. Chabot has asked
for larger Wi-Fi capability. Gathering of input starts in January. Facilities
will review requests and the plan will be revised.
The Classified senate meeting can be used to give input. Senate can also give
input to Gordon Watt who will bring to facilities committee.
Mani Farhadi, an associate from Steinberg Architects presented a PowerPoint
presentation on the background and purpose of the Master Plan using
Measure B money. The Bond money must be spent on capital improvements
such as brick, mortar & labor. There is no restriction on the percentages spent
on either campus. At this point Chabot College received 16 to 18 million
more than Las Positas.

The PowerPoint is on the Facilities website.
Yvonne Wu Craig requested that the projects that were delayed or postponed
in the current bond have first priority in the next master plan.
The new Message board is in design and will be delivered with the Security
update in G lot. A request for bid will soon be put out for the LED marquee
board at corner of Depot & Hesperian.
A request was made for making entrances to the college more visible and the
campus map needs to be put back up.
Doug Horner responded that Campus signage – signage master plan for the
campus, will be under the current measure B. The new signs will not be
lighted. He said that the Board of Trustees is unimpressed with the
landscaping along Hesperian. Steinberg will be using a landscape architect
named David Gates to come up with a plan to enhance the college entry
points.
It was noted that southbound traffic going to B lot won’t see the marquee
signage on Depot & Hesperian. A plan should be made to upgrade the
signage on that entrance.

Paint old buildings
Nate Moore suggested moving the library to building 200. Demolish and
rebuild 200. The Library should be on the ground floor in the front. The
students will get more club space.
ASCC Representative David Rigunay said that students are not happy with the
limited parking spaces. He said that it’s discouraging for new students to find
a space to attend 9:00 AM classes.
Jennifer Lange requested proper ventilation and emergency showers in the
chemical rooms along with proper biohazard storage. The college has two
understaffed prep rooms. According to OSHA a person should not be
working alone in a prep room. There is a need for one large, properly
equipped prep room.
Student Services and Administrative Services Program Review Forms and
Training Needs
Jennifer Lange reported that the Staff Development Committee is asking for
input on revising program review forms. The committee is asking if all
classified staff are covered somewhere in program review processes and do
Classified have input in program review process. Any changes need to go to
PRBC by November 30th. The next Staff Development meeting is November
29th.
Classified staff, in academic services, and administrative assistants are
currently addressed in program review. There needs to be a program review
process for the division offices. The committee wants an ongoing record of
needs for classified. Academic Services are considered a unit. They should
meet as a unit to talk about training, etc. It was suggested that perhaps
Academic Services needs their own program review plan.
ACTION: Jennifer Lange will email the latest revision to Yvonne Wu Craig.
Yvonne will review on November 30th at the PRBC meeting. The Staff
Development meeting is in room 505 at noon November 29th.
Veteran’s Day Event Update
Nate Moore reported that the Veterans’ day event was a success. The
connection between Veterans and Classified Staff is very strong. Mark
Stephens representing the Veteran’s club was presented with a US Flag and
California flag. Mary Lou Cisnero’s family was very happy about the
scholarship. There is now a need for donations for the scholarship. Rozen
Caampued is the new veteran’s specialist.
Todd Stephens Veteran’s event at LPC was a success
Feasibility Study Campus Safety Department Move to Building 700 South
and Staffing Update
Nate Moore reported on the Feasibility Study to discuss moving campus
safety to 700 south. The move won’t cost much but furniture and wiring are
needed. Part of this move will be moving the Dispatch Office to 700 as well.
The study will take a month to a year.
Campus Safety is hiring 1 ½ positions. The positions will go to the next board
meeting to be approved. Will be 90% staffed.
AMAG Company Security Access Control System implementation
Alarms are going off because people are not operating alarms properly.
Security will hold staff accountable for operating the system.
Email Luis Montañez and Keith Stiver to get training on the security system.
If there are problems with certain key pads email Luis & Keith.
It was requested that Campus Safety send out an email informing staff that
Luis Montañez and Keith Stiver are the contact people for alarm issues.
Nate Moore said that if doors are left open people should call dispatch at
ext: 6923. Security is working on the protocol to send out so people know
what to do
