Classified Senate – Gordon Watt, President
The Classified Senate is hosting a children’s book drive. There are four receptacles
outside of the office in 400. There will be a One Warm Coat Drive headed by Christie
Verarde. Paulette Lino is the new administrator on the Classified Prioritization
Committee. Donna Gibson is the faculty representation. Classified Prioritization will be
on the next agenda.

Academic Senate – Kathy Kelley, President
The Academic Senate is talking about the relationship with the District. LPC passed a
resolution for prioritization. A resolution for process should be shared at college hour
more than once in order to get others input. The Senate would like to have active student
representation.

Service Employees International Union (SEIU) – Chasity Whiteside,
Representative
Still in negotiations. Negotiations started in April. The contract ended June 30th.

Faculty Association - Andrew Pierson Representative
The follow up on the town hall question is that Charlotte Lofft’s interpretation of the
contract is town hall is how it was negotiated for LPC. It is either Town Hall or college
hour. Many would be opposed because of the elimination of college hour. Town Hall
during college hour is possible, but there’s always committee meetings.
Kathy Kelly reported there is work with the District on the educational master plan for
November with the company MIG. There is concern of allocation of time and
responsibilities. There is a request for two meetings in November by MIG in order to
make the November Board meeting.
The Council moved the recommendation that MIG work with the college to move the
report to the Board meeting in February based on the needs of schedules and educational
plans and in order to facilitate meaningful discussion and to work with faculty and other
staff schedules.
There needs to be a calendar with different steps. Helpful to have a calendar and time
lines of meeting times for achievement goals and objectives.
Dean Corcoran is to work with Ms. Kelley or Mr. Jim Matthews to communicate to the
Chancellor the need of a timeline, milestones, and goals.

D. Discussion Items
1. Student Equity Plan Approval Process and Proposals
Vice President Matt Kritscher presented the Student Equity Plan materials. The Equity
Plan is to be presented to the Board of Trustees on November 18th with approval on
December 9th and sent to the state by January 15th.
The Council is to review the proposals and accept recommendations from the Student
Equity Committee. MIG should be invited to the Board of Trustees meeting to hear the
presentation in November.
What is the process and best venue considering distribution of resources on plans. First
order is the gathering of proposals. Second, projects staffing should be part of classified
and faculty prioritization. There is recommendation to have one committee like College
Council to review the funding. Equity initiatives should be in the program review.
Job classification not vetted at the committee level, it is part of administrations role and
the bargaining units. The suggestion is to link the language in program review.
Due to the timing, Vice President Kritscher requested immediate $10,000 funding to pay
for Umjoa Conference. The Council approved.
Request for $1,000 for membership consortium dues. The Council approved.
Request for allocation of $2,500 immediate needs for books etc. with the discretion to VP
of Student Services to decide on direct student aide. There is a provision for student bus
fare. Will be considered a pilot program and VP Kritscher will evaluate. Should be
amended to include transportation based on the Student Senate referendum.
