CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by committee co-chair
Bob Brown.
SUMMARY NOTES
The summary notes from April 4 were approved as presented and
will be posted to the BPC website.
DISCUSSION
BUDGET UPDATE
Lee gave a brief recap of the budget and noted that nothing is
improving at the state level. The state revenue continues to be
lower than expected.
Bob requested that Lee send out an update to all committee
members after the Governor’s May revise of the state budget
comes out. Lee commented that it will take a few days after it is
released to digest and evaluate the effects the revise will have on
the district, but the committee will be kept informed.
MASTER PLANS
Lee reported that the district’s Strategic Plan has been updated and
approved by the board of trustees. The Technology and Facilities
Master plans will soon follow. Dr. Goswami is going to address
both committees so that they are aware of what has to be done.
The goal is to have the plans linked and tie in well together. Lee
noted that improvements will continue to be made to the Program
Review process. As part of the new process committee members
will meet annually to review and outline processes, procedures and
roles of each committee. Each committee will also complete an
assessment annually to review goals and outcomes. There was also
discussion regarding the Program Review Needs Addendum and it
was noted that operational costs less than $5,000 will be routed
back to the division and not go through a committee ranking
process. Concern was expressed regarding this concept. It was
noted that there needs to be a clear process in place for operational
requests to be authorized at the division level. When we get back
to having a full-time Vice President of Instruction it will be easier
for the instructional side to follow this process. It was noted that
whatever is funded for 2011/12 will show up in Program Review.
REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Carla read the committee’s charge aloud and Bob took notes so
that updates can be made.
CLOSING THE LOOP
The committee will continue to work on long-term budget
development.
