four operational areas: (1) student performance, (2) accreditation, (3) fiscal health,
and (4) compliance with state and federal guidelines.

INFORMATION/DISCUSSION/PRESENTATIONS
1. Revised Accreditation Governance Council Handbook
Dr. Lori Kildal, Vice President of Academic Affairs brought forth a revised Accreditation
Governance Council handbook. The Accreditation Council felt a faculty-appointed cochair (two-year term) would align its membership to other governance councils. As
such, the Accreditation Council approved to revise its handbook to include the co-chair.
In addition, a minor typo under the Values Statements was corrected.
2. 2015-16 Budget Update (if May revise info is available)
The Governor’s May Revise was not yet available, so there was no budget update.
3. Accreditation Update – next steps following April 10 follow-up visit
Dr. Kildal reviewed the next steps following the April 10, 2015 visit. Dr. Lewallen
received the draft report from the visiting team and the college was able to correct any
errors of fact. After which, the Team Chair submitted the report to the Accrediting
Commission and the Commission will provide Dr. Lewallen an opportunity to address any
inaccuracies. The Commission will meet June 3-5, 2015 and take action on the
accredited status of the college. The college should receive an action letter regarding its
accreditation status toward the end of June or early July.
4. Annual Review of & Action Plan for IPE Office
Dr. Brian Lofman presented the annual review and action plan for the Office of
Institutional Planning and Effectiveness. Dr. Lofman briefly summarized the review and
plan and spoke to the overall requests within the plan (personnel and office space).
5. First Reading – Request for New or Additional Space
The CPC received the following three requests for new and/or additional space. Faculty,
Marnie Glazier, and Dean of Advanced Technology, Dr. Zahi Atallah, were present to
provide an overview of the requests. All three requests will return to the CPC for
consideration of recommendation to the superintendent/president:
Theatre Arts – Marnie Glazier, faculty
Proposed space: Planetarium in Merrill Hall (after new planetarium is complete)
The space would be used as a classroom/performance space for theatre art students.
When not in use by theatre arts, the space would open up for other programs to use.
This would provide an opportunity to collaborate with other college programs, such as
STEMart. Overall discussion/comments were in support of the concept.
Tutorial/Study/Work Area on Alisal Campus – Dr. Zahi Atallah, Dean of Advanced Technology
Proposed space: Alisal Campus, Rooms A114 and A115
The request is to expand/transform the rooms into a tutorial/study/work area for
students. A lengthy discussion ensued and some members stated that they are in
support of the concept; that a larger tutorial/study/work area would help students
further succeed; that many students do not have access to the internet at home, do not
have a quiet place to study, and that coming to the Main Campus is not always
convenient. Currently, A114 is a MAC computer lab; however, there is other space to

accommodate programs currently using the room. There was a question about the
impact to the college when converting instructional space into non-instructional space.
Dr. Kildal said she would look into the matter. Further, the CPC engaged in a discussion
about the larger vision of the Alisal Campus, including the King City Education Center; as
such, the discussion went into a direction outside of the request.
Fab Lab on Alisal Campus – Dr. Zahi Atallah, Dean of Advanced Technology
Proposed space: Construction Shop – AC-D109
The proposal is to use a portion of the Construction Shop to create an innovation center
(Fab Lab) equipped with an array of flexible computer controlled tools and technology;
the lab could enhance future enrollments in fabrication, welding, diesel mechanics,
sustainable design and construction, and information technology. A discussion ensued
about supervision; the potential liability to the college, and whether the program would
be offered for credit. Dr. Ann Wright stated that she would like the request revised to
reflect the correct requested space. Initially, the request was to use the barn, but it was
later determined that the barn was insufficient because it would need significant repair
to accommodate this request.
6. First Reading - Establishment of Required Short-term Goals for Institutional Effectiveness
The College Planning Council received, as a first reading, the established short-term
goals for institutional effectiveness pursuant to new legislation. A taskforce, led by Dr.
Brian Lofman, was formed to develop the goals. The taskforce met twice and has
concluded its work. The goals have been forwarded to constituents groups, and the
next step is to forward to the Governing Board as a first reading in May, final
consideration of approval in June. The goals will return to the CPC for its final
consideration of approval on May 20, 2015. Mr. Stephen Garcia commended Dr. Lofman
for his work; that Dr. Lofman’s efforts and work keep the college straight.
