SUMMARY
NOTES
The meeting was called to order by committee co-chair Bob Brown.
DISCUSSION
ACCJC UPDATE
The summary notes for October 17 & 31 were approved as presented.
Doug Edgmon reported that we have not yet received a report from the ACCJC but should
be hearing something within the next couple of weeks. He stated that the President felt
there was a positive tone to the meeting that she, Special Trustee Henry, and Trustee
Mullery attended in early January. It was noted that the district’s budget will be an
ongoing concern. The ACCJC will want to see a solid fiscal plan that is sustainable
for the future and may include a 3-year projected budget.
GOVERNOR’S
BUDGET UPDATE
There was discussion regarding the significant adjustments that were listed in the
excerpt from the Governors’ Budget Summary 2013-14. There was concern
expressed about how these adjustments may affect the district’s budget.
ENROLLMENT
UPDATE
Dr. Snow-Flamer provided an update on spring enrollment noting that it is lower
than projected. He stated that a projected summer enrollment has also been done
and even if we meet the projected number of FTES we will be short approximately
163 for the 2012-13 year. There was also discussion regarding the following:
 Benefits/drawbacks to allowing students to add classes after the 2nd week
of the semester.
 Outcome of ACCJC report and the effect on future enrollment.
 Finding permanent budget solutions
 Right sizing the district.
INCOME
GENERATING
UPDATE
Doug provided an update on several Income Generating projects. He stated that the
board approved the leasing of the old administration building and an RFP is in
progress to find possible tenants. He also reported that Vice President Lindsey is
working on an RFP for Cell towers as various district sites. The addition of a cell
tower to campus would provide income and increased cell phone coverage which
would be imperative in an emergency situation.
Dr. Snow-Flamer reported that there are a couple of new student fees that are
being discussed with ASCR.
There was also discussion regarding a Forestry Harvest Plan that professor Tim
Baker has written. If implemented this plan could possibly generate revenue and
address the overgrowth of the forest on campus.

A poll will be sent out to committee members to determine an additional meeting
day. The goal is for the committee to meet twice monthly over the spring semester.
