1. AREA REPORTS/REQUESTS/QUESTIONS
Students – Student Reps
The budget for the Pride Club -LBGT Youth packages were gathered for about fifty (50) youth. PA
nominated to go to competition in Hawaii, cost $18,000.00 – gave $2,000.00. Region approved
resolutions. Discussed having homeless students having access to showers at Hartnell, not considered
for disadvantage groups. Hector M. prepared a report by going to homeless shelters to report and
testify on the resolution. We currently have a population of 72 homeless students that we are aware
of. We will be analyzing figures and success rates for a report that we are putting together.
Student elections are underway.
Faculty – Faculty Reps
Mary Davis reported that Nursing faculty who are users of ADMIN are having problems with
documents. Maybe looking into a shared network drive would give better access from VMWARE.
Network Drive – better ability to recover than from Google.
Deborah Stephens said, in terms of keeping image on virtual desktop can’t we try to reference use?
Each Librarian has to login. Need a non persistent desktop. Gmail is also telling us Chrome is
outdated? (Put ticket in)
Staff – Nothing to report.
Functional Areas (Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, Admin Services)
Student email – How long do they stay active? Dave responded – forever, all 160,000 emails. Will
start next year re: options that will be on student applications, by asking for email addresses.
What about services such as the Library? Once you’re not a student and without an ID, students do
not have access to the Library, only as a community member only. Students have access to Google
Docs, only for registered students. Google does have a cap. Can we change email in Colleague? No.
New address, new form would be preferred. Dave will run a report to change. There will be a
presentation re: Transferring by using PAWS to access transcripts.

INFORMATION/DISCUSSION/PRESENTATIONS
1. Tech Minute – Predictions for Next Year
Technology leaders have predicted their 15 boldest predictions for 2016; Singularity –
Humans (Men) + machine to create artificial intelligence; Apple announcement; robots
replacing menial job tasks, etc. Survey was distributed, and council members voted on
whether or not they agree with the predictions. The council will review next December to
see if predictions came true.
2. ITR 2015-2016 Program Planning & Assessment – Dave Phillips
This is done once a year by the Academic PPA & Dept. IT on planning and assessment
what to do in the years to come. We are working on 2015-2016 and 2014-2015 funding to
receive was written last year. Read and give questions by going to the website to view the
2015-2016 plan. The Technology Committee will give input and make decisions also.
Instructional Tech grant funded and will be adding that position into the funding. Although
it could require $300,000 for a complete wireless upgrade on all three campuses, the
current PPA has $50,000 allocated.

3. Computer Replacement Plan
Will be meeting with Paul Chen and Steve Otero re: the Master Plan on computer
replacement for labs which are next on upgrades considering age of equipment, depending
on funding. This is a 5-year cycle, although Dave would prefer to plan for a three-year
cycle. Dr. Lewallen wants to get rid of CPU towers and have laptops with docking stations.
These are more expensive than towers, but allow for more flexibility for staff members to
be mobile. We are moving away from virtual desktops for staff members, however for labs
virtual desktops are fantastic. For power users – not good due to applications, moving to
a high power computer and doesn’t work in every situation. We are not there yet.
Storage few memory and back-end, still not all virtual. Dave Phillips will be evaluating
each upgrade.
4. Wireless Authentication – All
Dave Phillips was originally not in favor of wireless authentication, but is open to the idea.
Deborah Stephens talked about network for guests – good to travel to library. As a nonHartnell Library patron and not affiliated you are using the computer at your own risk.
Authentication can work on wireless, one device per login? Will make a decision and
complete by summer 2016.
There is a move to make a decision on wireless authentication with a couple of meetings
to go and will make recommendations by the end of the semester. CSUMB, MCOE, have
authentications and will be checking to see what their practice is. Depending on operating
systems, guest bandwidth is limited on different levels and groups. Will use procedures
and ask various groups on Pro’s and Con’s. Can email your input and viewpoint.
