Team Charter
Charge
The charge of the Facilities Master Planning Development Team is to develop a plan for
district-wide facilities that effectively support quality learning environments. Secondly,
the team will develop and implement a facilities planning framework that ensures broadbased, collaborative, and data-informed decision-making.
Parameters
The team is working with the following operational principles:
We are an ad hoc group, and will ensure that the planning process we develop is
integrated into ongoing college operations;
We are a fully engaged team who take our tasks seriously and will move in an
efficient and effective manner;
We will follow commonly-developed ground rules for effective meeting
management;
We will represent the thinking of our individual constituent groups, as well as
others, to bring the broadest campus and community input to the process;
As this initial process reaches its goals, we will act as advisors to the process as it
becomes institutionalized.
