SUMMARY
NOTES
The summary notes from the March 19, 2012 meetings of the Facilities Planning
Committee will be forwarded for approval at the May 7, 2012 meeting.
DISCUSSION
WRAP UP
There was discussion regarding how the year went for the committee, what was
accomplished and what can be done better. It was noted that some Program
Review processes are being modified that will help make the Resource Requests
(Needs Addendums) forwarded to the committee easier to rank. Part of the
process will include the chairs of each committee meeting and reviewing the
Resource Requests to assure that requests are appropriately distributed to each
committee. The Resource Request will also include a section for “total cost of
ownership” for items that require updating or ongoing maintenance. To close the
loop if a department or program received funding the year before they will
provide some documentation of how the need was met and what difference it
made.
FACILITIES
MASTER &
STRATEGIC
PLAN
The committee discussed the Strategic Master and Education Master Plans. Lee
noted that both plans will show where the district wants to go in the future but
they are not contemplating a high level of growth. The main section of the
Facilities Master Plan (FMP) needs to be geared toward this. There also needs to
be a section in the FMP that addresses what the district will do in future if
funding improves. At the next FPC meeting on May 7, Dr. Goswami will address
the committee regarding the Facilities and Strategic plans and give the committee
a charge.
OTHER
There was discussion about closing the 101 corridor sites and what will be done
with the furniture and equipment from these locations. Some type of prioritization
will be done to redistribute the furniture and equipment to areas of the campus
that need it most.
There was also discussion regarding Measure Q projects that have been funded
but have not yet been completed.
