September 23, 2010
12 Noon, Room 1506
1. Meeting Minutes from September 9, 2010 distributed.
2. Special Reports: B1700/1800 – Steinberg Architects
Doug introduced the presenters and gave a quick review on how the state 50%
match for development led to the college-wide decision to add this project to the
Measure B list. State 50% for construction is still pending the passing of the state
budget. Presentation covered interior, exterior and courtyard. There was Q&A on
furniture, (Mockup available in October/November in B2000) color choices, living wall
maintenance costs, and retaining a grassy area.
3. Project Status Update
Skipped due to time, but then later reported that bids were awarded to contractors for
B1400/1600 and B300 projects at the last Board meeting. Construction can start very
quickly after formal contract is finished and initial contractor meetings.
4. Rumor Control
None identified.
5. Other Matters Initiated
a. Doug reported that the Board meeting has identified 11/3 as a Chabot Open House
(3:00-6:00).
b. Wanda queried (in a friendly fashion) concerning the “low emission” designated
parking spots. Nate indicated that there have been citations issued and that
discussions are on-going about more policy and procedures.
c. Doug reported back that indeed the circuits for the IOB restroom lights were part of
a circuit that is shut off during part of the weekend. He also reported back that

the shower doors are lockable from the inside and in a fashion to exclude entry
even with a key from the hallway.
d. Ashley questioned about the status of 1500 and the loss of classrooms in B1400;
Doug responded that it was part of the larger and more complicated issue of the
other office buildings and the finite amount of Measure B funds available. Doug is
hopeful that the process for revising/updating the Facility Master Plan will bring
some clarity.
e. Bob inquired about the Educational Master Plan committee and Doug clarified
it was one who recommended a firm to the Board to conduct the project; details
for this process and the following Facility Plan will be circulated broadly to
encourage college-wide participation.
f. Mark inquired concerning if this committee needed a report from Campus Art and
Doug will contact Diane when the balloting is over to see if she can provide
updated information.
Meeting started at 12:05 p.m. and ended at 1: 36 p.m.
