President’s Report
Yvonne Wu Craig is attending the District Budget Study Group at the
time of this Classified Senate meeting. Vice President Gordon Watt
reported that everything Yvonne Wu Craig would have reported on was
in the email she forwarded to everyone from College President Susan
Sperling.
In her email report, Yvonne Wu Craig presented the following:
At DBSG on March 2, I presented a PowerPoint presentation of
recommendations for making budget cuts which generated some
discussion. At Chancellor's council meeting on Tuesday, MaryAnn
Gularte presented the revised draft of the faculty hiring procedures for
non-contract faculty (i.e. new faculty). Linda Wilson and Joanne
Bishop Wilbur were also there to urge the Chancellor to provide as
much advance notice as possible if there are to be any layoffs. She also
stressed that cost cutting measures are necessary and to examine
multiple areas for possible savings. She also presented a suggestion
from LPC for saving funds by not printing the payroll slips and mailing
them to each house. Finally, there will be a joint PRBC/College Council
meeting on Wednesday to discuss future budget and planning and a
PRBC retreat on Friday to discuss shared governance structures and
restructuring committees.
Gordon Watt said that at the last Board of Trustees meeting there was
discussion on moving the District offices to the Dublin site. The District
will rent out or sell Pleasanton site.

presented questions. The entire Chabot College Community is invited to attend
this meeting.
Facilities Committee
Gordon Watt reported that remodeling on buildings 1200, 2600 and 1800 are
underway and on schedule. They are still working on the final plans for the new
signage.
The committee is still grappling with ideas on building 100. They have not come
to an approved plan.
Proposed Facilities Master Plan-One of the ideas was to move the library to
middle of main quad. There are several reasons not to do this. The Quad gets
rented out several times per year. One suggestion is to get rid of the grass area.
Another idea is to dismantle building 200 and put the library in next to book
store.
The interest earned by the facilities bond was used to buy the Dublin site. The
Dublin site was originally going to be used for classes for credit. 30 thousand
dollars was spent on a study to find out if public would be willing to fund a
property tax or other bond for facilities.
Technology Committee
Gordon Watt reported that the Technology Committee is putting together a
form that will tie technology requests with Program review. They want to
disseminate requests across campus to make the process more transparent and
be sure everyone is included and knows what is going on. They want a clear
path to get something approved identifying areas that these requests need to
go through addressing technology needs of the whole campus not just
individuals.
Gordon Watt reported that Chabot Computer Support is putting Wi-Fi access
where they can. They put about 25 new Wi-Fi access points throughout
campus. The goal is to put Wi-Fi in the buildings first then the main courts. The
Athletic Department is working on getting Wi-Fi to the athletics fields. The
computer support web site has a list of Wi-Fi hot spots. He suggested calling
1715 to put in a trouble ticket if Wi-Fi is not available in specific offices. This will
tell the district there's a need.
Bookstore Advisory Committee
Chasity Whiteside reported that the Bookstore Advisory Committee has met a
couple of times this semester. The committee has discussed the upcoming
"Grad Fair”, scheduled for late April. The bookstore is currently working with
the ASCC, to have them participate in the event as well. Most topics covered in
these meetings are any issues coming from the transition, and working with the

bookstore to keep them as part of the Chabot community. There has been
some discussion surrounding submitting book orders for Fall, regarding
deadlines and communication. Some changes to the bookstore have been
made to make it more welcoming and inviting, although it is still prohibited to
eat or drink in the book store, including the new lounge area. The ASCC will poll
students for their opinions/feelings on bookstore, environment, pricing etc.
Classified employees were kept in the transition.
Discussion Items
Classified Website Committee
Catherine Gentiluomo and Ginger Ripplinger have been working on the
Classified Help website. The link will be:
www.chabotcollege.edu/classifiedhelp”. Still need welcome statement from
Yvonne. Catherine took everyone through the website highlighting different
links. Welcome statement will be moved to the top of the page. We are not
creating new stuff we are linking to what is already on the site so we can find it.
A quick guide to what is available on Class-Web to know what you can do.
Reminder dates are from the 15th of each month.
Bookstore will give 20% off to employees. Asked for everyone to jot down
questions that people ask you all the time that they would like answered for
the FAQ section. Need an email to submit questions for FAQ on the page.
Put why does everyone need to be in the union question on FAQ list. Need
input on Acronym list as well.
The Classified Senate Secretary is the web diva. Whoever is the Classified
Senate secretary
Gordon will find out where the directory is housed and who has access to it. So,
it can be directed and Chasity can get access.
Committee will contact IT to have the Classified Help link put on the "today"
and "Help" page.
It was suggested that the Technology Committee be contacted for funding for
training on web pages.
Put on the Next Classified Senate Agenda - Classified Technology needs. (Not
funding... NEEDS)
Soon will be changing from XP to Office 7. Need training on Microsoft Word,
SharePoint Designer.
Part of the budget for new software should be funding for training of staff.
Election Committee
Gordon Watt reported on the Election Committee. In April the committee will
present a list of nominees to Classified Senate. The draft nomination form was
emailed out. This emailed form can be sent as an attachment to other Classified
Staff. The form is also on the Classified Senate web site. Paper copies will be

available. The Election Committee will contact the nominees to see if they are
willing to run. Elections will be held on the first or second Tuesday in May. He
asked if there are any changes to the Draft Nomination Form. There were no
objections raised. The mailroom doesn't distribute nomination forms. Classified
Senate distributes the form.

on the 23rd. 10 am to 3:00 PM in the boardroom.
ASCC Report on “Scrip-pro”
Alyssa Isaacs-Casey and David Rigunay presented on the use of Scrip-Pro to
raise money for ASCC. Gift cards will be sold by ASCC and they will benefit from
the profit. ASCC will take individual orders, contact the company and will
