One of my suggestions to save expenses is to close the college early on Fridays.
A majority of classes are over early and students are gone by 2. Closing early
on Fridays and during holiday breaks would save money on utilities.

As a pt instructor I don't know what the expenses are. As a retired adminstrator
of a large government program, analysis often gives us interesting locations for
savings. I would like to understand the income stream and cost of the courses I
teach.

We could switch to a four day ten hour a day work week for all student services
during the months and weeks we are on vacation or between semesters. We can
fire all consultants and hirte people who actually can do the job.

Remove the 25 hour CSEA position for ACE. The job description was written

Reduction: I understand that the nursing discipline manager is now a dean. I
think that that position, plus the dean's position in King City which will be vacated
by the end of the year (?) should go back to being directors. They were
directors before and in this economy, the position should be reduced until the
economy picks up. The nursing manager is a dean for a discipline--not for a
whole area. I also think that we need division deans more than we need a Dean
for Curriculum & Instructional Support. A faculty member was assigned 60%
release time to do Curriculum. This dean could become a division dean. I
believe we have gone through 3 reorganizations within 4 years and with the new

president, we will be reorganizing again. I believe that the existing president
should have left some decisions to be made by the new president. Freeze some
positions that are being vacated now if possible. If you plan to do layoffs, why
create a bumping domino effect for classified staff.

Examine gap between necessary job functions and current jobs to isolate areas

We could save money if we refunded student fees back to the credit card. Right
now we eat the fee because we refund in check form. I was told by a datatel
technician that it was an easy process to run and usually run by AP.

Consolidation of services and/or activities, much time and money are spent
developing and offering the same services in various programs in an inefficient
and often ineffective way. Too often, we reinvent and duplicate the wheel with
every new program. A campus advisory committee made up of experts from
different areas could guide, integrate and oversee activities of campus programs.

The college needs to find a health insurance carrier to replace MCSIG. MCSIG
does not have the size (employee and dependent pool) to keep health care
premiums low. One major medical cost will affect premiums in a small pool than
a large pool. Consider CVT or CalPERS or other.

1) Please, no more free housing allowances for administrators. It was brought to
our attention at a Board meeting that money from the budget was being used to
pay administrators' housing. 2) No pay raises for anyone. 3) No bonuses or
stipends to administrators.In the past administration, $10,000 bonuses or
stipends (or more) were given to administrators for a job well done.

Need to go green. Too much paper wasted. Also the usage of overtime with
maintenance can be reduced. Some times not needed for smaller events.
Food can be reduced at meetings. Limit the amount of food and beverages.

reduce paper use; too many handouts; this would require people to be
"encouraged" to use electronic devices. Much more training re document
sharing. thoroughly analyze independent contractor usage. Can some activities
be conducted from within? Are we duplicating efforts unknowingly? Look at
"expensive" programs (e.g., ACE, ag programs that are industry funded, etc.).
Are they meeting their goals? Is there a way to do the work more efficiently? Is
there duplication of effort? What can be done to increase enrollments in the
programs? This comment should not be interpreted as a call to eliminate
programs, rather, to analyze their effectiveness and true cost.

decision made with maintenance director, maintenance supervisor, and VP of
Business Office. On-campus departments and off-campus groups many times
pay excessively high charges. In contrast, usage fees for all on-campus facilities
should be reevaluated and modified to be competitive with others.

Have you considered allowing faculty to take a reduced load with the subsequent
pay reduction if desired? Sixteen week semesters. That might affect adjunct
pay most directly, but maybe could be negotiated into full time salaries as well.

No new hires....current faculty and classified employees take on additional
classroom and administrative duties. New hires add additional financial burden
to the budget when considering not only salary but benefits. Adjunct faculty
teaching more courses on-line should be considered.

Stop paying for food for meetings- instead people can volunteer to bring food.
Design schedule cover and take pictures in-house, rather than pay for design.
Make course catalog available for students online, or they can pay $2.50 for a

online for free, or pay for a copy. Suspend or reduce travel reimbursements.

of the programs have been reduced to only classified staff. why does the

Please provide a rationale or justification for your suggestions.
DSP&S program have to ask for funds from the HEP program? This past
semester The HEP program bought a $600 IQ test for the Ld Specialists to to do
their job. How does the HEP program justify to the FEDS that they need to
purchase this test when no one in their program can administer such a test.( Ld
Specialst) are not paid by HEP. In past years before the current admin. and
Director of the DSP&S program always paid for their own equipment/tools for the
DSP&S program. Since the current administration and current director the
DSP$S program has never seen a item line budget. Yes we know there has
been cuts but it seems that money for these programs has been directed to other
places . Is this legal? Last year DSP&S factuly was told that part their salary
was now being paid by General Ed funds and DSP&S Factuly now had to
counsel Gen ed students. Why? Was this practice implemented to supplement
that lack of gen ed Counselors?again this practice was only implemented by the
past admin and the current Director. My question is what are they doing with this
money? is it being used to fund other programs? please look very closely at
these "expert" classifications/middle mangement type postions because many of
them were filled with people that were hand selected for the postion , ex the
current Financial Aide Director and the head of admin/records. these postions
were filled without a current hiring process, it was not open to other classifed
staff or faculty. Why does the DSP&S Program have a "expert" for scheduling
the deaf students interpreters? It never had such a postion. why now? with less
money for the program? its wasted money when it was always done within the
program. the whole "Expert" category seems to be a insult to staff when these
people are being paid $35 an hr. or more and staff has been asked to reduce
their pay by furlough days and then not given a chance to apply for these
postions. I would suggest that these postions be looked at very carefully and
stop the practice of these middle mangement postions.

I first and foremost urge you to examine closely what then other three local
colleges---Gavilan, Monterey Peninsula College, and Cabrillo------have done to
weather the various budget cuts that have been imposed statewide over the last
4-5 years. These colleges are laboring under the same budget constraints as
Hartnell, but they have all managed to stay solvent without inflicting on their
students and employees the drastic and draconian cuts that have been inflicted
on Hartnell's students and employees. For example, Hartnell is the only local
college that had a whole summer session eliminated, which delayed many
students' educational and career plans by a semester or more, and which also
provoked many students to transfer to MPC permanently. Additionally, Hartnell's
staff, uniquely among those at local colleges, were forced to endure unpaid
furloughs. Hartnell's faculty has not had a pay raise in 5 years, although all of
the other colleges gave their faculty modest raises (incidentally, as a faculty

member, I am perfectly willing to forgo pay raises, in the fiscal interest of the
college and students, provided such pay freezes are implemented in a collegewide manner with complete transparency). In particular, it is my understanding
that the Superintendent of Gavilan enjoys interacting and sharing with other local
colleges and is exceptionally knowledgeable about budget matters, and is adept
at adapting to cuts in ways that are lauded as fair by his entire campus
community. Hartnell has been paying the housing costs ( in addition to salary)
for many administrators. Most colleges I understand only do this for the
Superintendent. I recommend Hartnell follow its own past practice and the
practice of other colleges, and pay no housing allowances to any employee other
than the Superintendent (so the Superintendent ALONE should receive a
housing allowance). Hartnell seems to have a greater number on managers and
administrators, as well as faculty members doing non-teaching work, than other
colleges. I urge you to look closely at this. Those instructors who are willing to
take extra students voluntarily without any extra compensation, and who have a
reputation for providing excellent instruction, should be allowed to do so without
administrative interference. Hartnell also seems to have an unnecessarily large
and expensive number of paid outside 'consultants'; I urge you to look into
possible cutbacks in this area.

1. Reduce hours of employment of Maintenance staff. We can survive everyother-day cleanings (instead of everyday cleaning) for awhile. 2. Reduce
administrative assistants, or reduce their salaries. 3. A "pie graph" of Hartnell's

make cutbacks.

Reduce administrative pay. Won't change the budget much but it would send a
message to faculty that low pay is not just our concern. Engage faculty in
decision making and begin processes for faculty to serve as Department Chairs.
This will reduce administrative expenses and allow faculty to share in decisions
affecting their departments. Offer golden handshakes to senior faculty with
healthy incentives to retire. Eliminate costly and ineffective attempts to keep
academic courses at the Alisal and King City campuses. Offer online programs
instead. These campuses are attractive but the student population isn't there to
justify the budget. Review the ACE program to determine its value to students.
A formal campus review has never been conducted to determine if the program
is successful. Hiring should be based on numbers not departments. The new
position in computer science is not justified based on the numbers. Other areas
have a much greater need. Move more courses online and eliminate arbitrary
limits on faculty loads. Saves facilities expenses. Eliminate counselors everyone knows they don't actually "counsel" students anyway. Create a drop in
center where students have guided access to necessary information. Eliminate
Dean positions at the King City and Alisal campuses. Reduce semester length
to 16 weeks. Save on facilities expenses. End semester in early Dec to save
money used for heating classrooms. End athletics programs. Costly and
provide little educational value for the average student.

there is alot in these areas but I feel we have an obligation to do the review. 2.
one time % cut to all salaries so all groups are included and less interruption to
services and students. faculty must participate in some manner. 3. Consider
furloughs. I understand most staff liked the furloughs and as in a across the
board cut, we cut our expenses and not interrupt students and services. 4.
Reduced workweek to four to save utilities. If furloughs, we would save utilities.

concentrate our ideas 6. I am concerned for students with less offerings so do
not want to ignore meeting their needs. I agree with efficiency and I think we
have been lacking in assuring we have a high enrollments and not offer
everything for everyone. Students will adjust and just used to having lots of
choices. In discussing our cuts, or use of reserve I hope we offer more for our
students over the funded FTES.

1) Move to 16-week semester (closing college for two weeks to save on energy
costs, etc.), 2) Continue to restructure administration (i.e. some positions could
be as "Directors", reducing salary expense), and 3) Re-establish employee
furlough days (days off with no pay).

Zoned scheduling: Especially in the evening, classes will be held in several
buildings across the main campus. Place all of those classes into one building,

1. Move from an 18-week semester to a 16-week semester. 2. Require faculty
members to post all handouts in their course shells, rather than copying and
passing out printed copies in class. This can easily be verified by requiring
faculty to send a screen-shot of each section to their Dean, indicating the posting
of the handouts. 3. Cap faculty copying with Office Depot, so that faculty
members are encouraged to use the internet for most documents, as discussed
above. 4. Cap management copying, by giving managers a code to use in copy
machines. 5. Allow faculty members to drop students online, so that they don't
have to use hard-copy rosters. 6. Give faculty members a limited supply of
paper, and limit printing to that supply. Many faculty members print copies of
exams, so that they don't have to use Office Depot. This wastes printer
cartridges and also imposes wear and tear on the printers.

End all grant-funded positions that expire after the third year of the faculty

reduction in pay. The college should be legally obligated to repay this salary loss
at some future date, when state funding is restored above some pre-established
level.
61
Analyze administrative/clerical resources for efficiency and reasonableness.
Consider centralization of administrative tasks (one admin person to input all
payroll, another to process faculty contracts) as opposed to having many admin
with varying tasks. Consider a "grants specialist" paid from various grant funds
who would handle in grant-related fiscal and contract transactions only. Training,
training, training for efficiency.

All employees could take a mandatory furlough day 1x/mth (or ?): this shares
responsibility equally, with all contributing. Are there any savings to be had in
the relation with the bookstore? Can we push to move away from hard copy
texts towards open source/on-line and reduce campus expenditures at the same
time?

Stop printing catalogs and require that all students register for classes online. A
lot of schools do this and it saves a bunch of money. For the students who don't
have computers/internet, they can use Hartnell's library to register.

Eliminate printed schedule of classes. Students have access to online schedule
at each college location; thus, the schedule is no longer needed. No student
workers paid from general fund, no exceptions. Office needs can be met work
study students. No temporary/hourly employees paid from general fund. Existing
staff should perform the work needed. Move classified employees (where you
can) to categorical funding. Consider moving to a four-day, ten hour work week
during the summer months. Adjust instructional schedule to accommodate.

Try to go more paperless; is there a program where a faculty member cannot run
his class assignments off the printer which then makes the cost of toner and
paper go higher; begin charging for the catalogue or schedule of classes to
reduce our cost...if they go to the web, then it is free; is it worth to recycle bottles,
cans, etc., -- this could cover the cost of some office supplies. Improve
effectiveness: communication...we have talked about transparency, but it is hard
to believe it exist here. Improve effectiveness...the word is out that we should
not be talking to each other on a personal level during working hours. I realize
this should not be abused, but if we are to be like robots, this is not team
building. The College is the people and the more we work, even sometimes play
together, will make a better team and "going beyond" when needed.

The college should move to a 16 week semester like MPC and Cabrillo or
implementing a 4 day work week for areas or the entire campus. The cost

The management structure at Hartnell has been in disarray since the previous
president arrived. It seems division deans help support instruction and spreads
the work load for various required activities like evaluations. The college has and
had too many VP, directors, and high paid consultants that did not seem to do
much of anything to support instruction and operations.

We need to improve our communication and orientation with all feeder schools in
the area. If high school students are aware of what we offer, we could have
better placement in courses once they get here. Additionally, more students are
likely to enroll with the personal contact made by our counselors and instructors.
I think we'll see less attrition by correct course placement to begin with. Some
high school personnel have told me their school has not been visited in years.

The level of communication needs to increase drastically. Has been very poor.
Departments need to work together. This would help with everyone working
together and giving suggestions that might be needed for your colleagues and
other departments. More teamwork at Hartnell.

A perennial problem is timely communication and access to data. If we are
serious about making a leaner and more efficient organization, we have to really
communicate what people need and how to get it done. Much work has already
gone into trying to make information sharing better and more efficient; let's get a
progress report and see how we are doing. Also, let's respect our planning
processes so that when we make a plan (such as the class schedule, or hiring
full time fauclty) that we stick to it. Reducing costs usually manes reducing
personnel. We usually seem to have a lot of unfilled positions in staff. Can we do
some cross training and move people around rather than eliminate jobs? Also,
let's evaluate the reorgs in the business office and student services and see how
they are doing.

This survey is a good beginning. I think it is important to look outside our
organization, but I don't believe expensive outside consultants are the answer.
We have the expertise and knowledge in-house. I know best my own department
I think this is probably true for other employees. Develop teams in each
department/area/division--whatever is appropriate, and have them research and
review what other similar institutions have done (or even do a literature review)
and then have them form 1-5 recommendations.

Eliminate one staff/faculty member system-wide from each department, or in
anticipation of changes in 2013 regarding repeat courses, eliminate degree
programs that are consistently low in numbers of graduates.

1) Re-instate Enrollment Management Committee to monitor course efficiencies;
faculty need more involvement in this committee's actions to avoid simplistic
"let's cut 5% of all course sections" type of mentality. 2) Strengthen the early
assessment/counseling/placement process for students and encourage early
remediation, if needed, to assure that they are ready for college-level work.

additional full time counselors to assist students.

Business Office Technology could be eliminated because it doesn't provide the
skills necessary for a particular job. Most student's are able to apply from High
School with minimal computer and filing capabilities. Students who do not have
these skills can take Computer Lab courses or go to Salinas Adult School. It
seems redundant to offer it here.

This past June the DSP&S program was part of a state audit. It would be very
helpful if the staff and faculty were given the report to read/discuss and help
implement /make improvements that the state recommended.
why not outsourse the interpreter services for the hearing impaired students?
If you look at what other programs are doing to save money this practice is
now being used by many DSP&S programs throughout the state.

offices have to be closed, set up schedules so that all offices are not closed at
the same time. Find an easier on-line registration program for the following
students: English language learners with limited English comprehension,
students with limited on-line experience and who do not have e-mail accounts,
students with reading disabilities. Set up some APP or HelpHartnell.com
Students type in question or need and up pops the name dept and phone
number. Students would not be walking around blind. This could also help for
students who can't find a specific room on campus. Working students have to
wait several semesters before certain general education courses are offered in
the evenings and weekends. Takes longer to graduate. Do some type of study
to provide more general education courses. Many English language learners
who work do not have ESL courses in the evenings/weekends. Without these
courses, English language learners are not able to complete a college degree.
Many Hispanic students living near the Alisal Center must go to the main
campus for developmental education courses and some ESL. Review state regs
to see if Alisal campus can provide voc. ed. certificate programs that include ESL
and other developmental courses.

The ACE program is not needed....there are other programs in place that are
more effective and have a history of success. The few students in the ACE
program that continue end up in the EOPS, DSPS or Trio programs anyway...
Give more support and resources to these programs they have a stronger record
of success.

1. Printed Materials: Class Schedules and Catalog: meet with the printer and
find out how to reduce the cost and continuie to have a quality image. See if
local major businesses would "sponsor", pay for the printing the class schedule.
They would be able to advertise, or receive recognition on the back of the class
schedule booklet. Even better, have various small businesses contribute to the
printing of the class schedule and the businesses would have their
advertisement in the class schedule, consolidated on one page. These would be
businesses that students would most likely patronize in Salinas. This would go
for the catalog, also. 2. Office Supplies and small equipment: Inventory all
departments to see where their is excess to share with other departments.
These items can be staged at the warehouse for redistribution. When an Office
Depot reqest comes through, Purchasing can check with the warehouse for the
item before sending through the purchase order and leaving the item off of the
P.O. 3. Office Depot can come up with a list of generic items costing less and
still meet the required needs. 4 Use electronics over hard copy where possible
and still be effective. 4. Challenge student body to think stategically to support
the various programs offerred by the college. For example, Performing Art
students would come up with a way to raise funds for their respective art
interests; same for business students, etcetera. 5. Provide an incentive for
departments to save funds: The funds saved by a department, 50% goes back
to the General Fund, and 50% would be banked by the department each
semester. The departments can continue to add to their 50% untill they reach
the dollar value to purchase some equipment they have been needing, but do
not have enough in the budget in any particular year.

This is very difficult to answer, with out sharing the problems. We have for
example "the one stop shop" were I'm not sure if students feel that this has
benefited them or not (maybe doing a questionnaire out the students-?).

We are currently offering four cohorts of ACE. These cohorts are typically
under-enrolled. For example, there are currently 62 seats available in the four
cohorts. There was talk that a fifth cohort was being requested. It seems to me
that, while this might be a worthwhile program, it isn't necessary to offer it at the
current scale.

Our archives's situation is beyond horrible. Probably about 70% of what is in
there could have been destroyed some years ago. Although there is some

and papers on the floor. Besides that, the place is morbid. No wonder it's known
as "the dungeon".

1.Re-institute management evaluations. Before Dr. Helm became the College
president, managers were evaluated periodically and the evaluations became
part of their personnel files. The evaluations were conducted by small
committees composed of one faculty member, one other manager, and one
classified employee. The classified employee could not be an individual that
reported directly to the manager evaluated, and the faculty member had to be an
individual that worked either directly or indirectly with the manager evaluated.

Q3. Provide suggestions for how current college programs, services, operations, and/or practices could improve
effectiveness. Suggested changes could focus on improving effectiveness that leads to reducing costs.
There was a rubric with various criteria that the manager had to address in a
report, similar to faculty pro-growth reports. The evaluating committee reviewed
the report, did their own investigation, and made comments. This would
increase management effectiveness, and also lead to enhanced confidence in
the administration in general.

The supervisor could go through an entire shift with each employee to
see if they could do the job more quickly or in fact,identify if they have more

To generate revenue, I suggest to have a food court in the student center. We

generate more money for Hartnell. Right now a majority of students leave
Hartnell to eat off campus.

I would be willing to do workshops in my field of expertise. We have the best
physical plant to do this. The important issue is to have an annual calendar of
these events that publishes along with the schedule of classes. This is important
because some of our best customers will be our students and their agencies.

one thing we can do is offer some of our courses as cash only and not as unit
courses. Make sure that we acually make private agencies that use our facilities
pay to use them such as Palma high and other such programs. Suggest to the

In the past we have occasionally had representatives from private industry
address the faculty about the skills and skill level they are looking for when

something similar to the "Google/John Deere Day at Hartnell" where students
see a direct buy-in and/or advantage in obtaining the skills required by a certain
company. If the company is willing to offer student internships and the students
can see the potential of their getting hired, they will probably work harder to get
there. It's a win-win situation for students, Hartnell, and industry.
17
A.S.B. fees to cover cost such as free admissions to Western stage and athletic
events. In return fees go to certain trust accounts. Add community Ed to
campus. Community Ed offerings could be big for Hartnell College. Try to be
more involved with community fundraisers such as a fireworks booth before the
fourth of July. Having community more involved in all events at Hartnell College
will bring in more revenue for College.
Jul 23, 2012 12:45 PM
18
Grants: let's have a lot more input into grants before they are submitted so
people are prepared and committed to doing the work. Grants do bring more
money into the college, but if they support projects that are ultimately not useful
to us, they are not worth it. I don't know if fee based classes are worth loking
into or not.

I don't recommend more fees for students. There may be more grant
opportunities. Where are the bricks with people's names on them? I contributed
several hundred $$$ and have never seen these materialize. More naming on
main campus. The Foundation has done a good job getting the Alisal Campus
rooms named after produce companies/families. More visibility of naming in
CALL building and Library. The time to act is now while the buildings still look
"new" and fresh. Hartnell grads are passing away all the time... Remembering a
dear relative by naming a room after them is very attractive to many people.

1. Consider reinstating the DMV's driving school (the school one takes when
issued a citation) on campus (HC is currently listed on the DMV's documentation
anyway). 2. Partner with the CPS & the State of CA to offer notary public
training and testing sessions. Currently, the nearest location for those wishing to
become or renew a notary public commission is in San Jose. 3. Perhaps (when
not in use by TWS), the main theater could be rented for conferences, music,
dance recitals, etc., by local businesses/organizations/groups. 4. Athletics
booster clubs could assist athletics programs with important fundraising efforts.
5. Host Farmers Markets on a weeknight during summer months or weekend
day throughout the seasons; fee to sellers; lease w/ Monterey County Farmers
Markets. Hold at or rotate all three campuses, if possible. Currently Salinas has

1. Oholone College has a comprehensive rental facilities program. Contact
Maria Rocha in Purchasing. They generate, on average, $180,000 per year.
Ask for their procedures and a list of their clients. When classrooms, pool, tennis
courts, ball fields, etcetera, are not being used, they have the potential for rental.
Note: Ohlone has insurance requirements, etcetera. 2. Review all third party
contracts to see where cost reductions can be realized and where cost
avoidance can be realized. 3. Bring back community classes: "Pathways". The
classrooms would be utilized at night where there are no classes being taught.

Provide childcare to employees, this would generate income. International
student program and Community Ed would help. I would also strongly suggest
that all departments have require outcomes and have a committee to see if the
outcomes to better serve our community is being done.(contracted help should
also show this, I don't understand why we continue to pay these people).

We have developed courses to meet industry needs, and this is a good thing, but
often what industry wants is training, not education leading to degree or
certificate. Food safety is one area like this. We have a mini certificate, but it
doesn't lead to a full certificate or a degree program. Another that I have heard
discussion about developing is pest control advisor. Providing training and
licensing exam preparation is a perfect arena for not-for-credit, paid training.
Rather than using our limited FTES for offering these courses, we should charge
for them. We once had a very viable and robust "community ed" program. It
was dismantled about five years ago.

within our community. Chefs from local restaurants could produce
dishes/desserts around the theme. A percentage of the proceeds would go to
the college. Produce vendors, Mexican music, etc. would attack people from
many surrounding communities.
36
Condensed Calendar, reduction of athletic programs, reduction of non-academic
structure, i.e. art, photograph, music while important students often don't
graduate and get jobs in these fields. We can add these later when the economy
improves. Addition of auto program, Animal health technology, mill and cabinet,
machining and most vocational programs that help students find work. Not all
students will transfer to CSU, or UC's, It is critical for us to recognize the
community we serve. Elimination of the Ag. Business and Green construction

As a community college, we used to serve the community by offering classes to
community members. It is not clear to me why we are no longer doing this. We
have the facility resources to be able to offer classes/courses of interest to the
public. For example, music, dance, physical education. At a curriculum meeting
in the Spring, a nursing faculty brought forward a simulation course that could be
offered to the healthcare community as another example.

Hartnell needs a revised alcohol policy to attract use of our beautiful campus. I
for one wanted to have my wedding on campus, utilizing the planetarium and the
grounds. I was told, however, we could not have alcohol. I have also heard of
others inquiring about using the campus grounds for receptions/weddings/etc.
and were denied based on the alcohol policy. Various institutions have policies

Q4. Provide suggested strategies, activities, and/or events that have the potential to generate additional revenue.
on student/faculty/staff alcohol use that are different than hospitality policies. We
should be renting out available facilities as often as possible.

The College can generate income by allowing the Classified, Faculty
Administrator, Managers, and Confidential to have a gym membership that will
be paid on a monthly basis. The membership should include use of the fitness
center, Aerobic classes and swim fitness.

Reinstitute Community Education. Before Dr. Helm became the president of the
College, we offered fee-based courses that were non-credit. We could begin
doing this again. In fact, the County of Monterey has indicated an interest in a
partnership with Hartnell College for the purpose of County employee education.
A recommended contact person is Donna Myers, ph.# (831)755-5298.

Outsource cafeteria services - similar to the Bookstore. Perhaps we can lease
out the space for revenue. Consider bringing back community courses.

Be careful when we bring in additional income generators that, in fact, it doesn't
end up costing us more. We often don't consider the effect of the wear and tear
on the facilities, additional stress on staff, and to the infrastructure (such as the
computer server). Have a long term plan rather than being reactionary to the
immediate need for additional income.
