DISCUSSION
DRAFT
RANKINGS OF
BUDGET CUTS
Lee Lindsey reported that it is necessary to re-balance the Measure Q project
allocations as the costs of some projects have been higher than expected. He
requested that the committee make a recommendation to do so. He proposed
making budget adjustments to the Old Library Seismic Retrofit and Repurpose
project and also to the HRC Teaching Kitchen relocation project. There was
discussion and the committee agreed to the adjustments to the Old Library project
budget. but felt that Lee should meet with Jeff Cummings, Dean of Career and
Technical Education before a recommendation related to the Culinary Kitchen is
made. The committee reviewed the status of the HRC program and its educational
effectiveness. They identified which areas of the HRC program could be
maintained without the HRC kitchen and which areas of the program would be
adversely affected.
There was discussion regarding the draft rankings of the budget cuts and the need
to identify $1M to cut from the budget. Lee will send the rankings sheet out again
to obtain a final ranking.
