Howard shared that the problems that
Planbuilder was experiencing last week
were probably due to the high volume of
users trying to finish up and submit their
plans close to the deadline.
Gene suggested staggering program due
dates in order to avoid the last-minute
crunch to meet the deadline.
As of today, three Program Reviews still
have not been submitted. Robert

DISCUSSION
Howard called the meeting to order at
1:05pm.
Howard gave an update on the planning
process. Issues with Unit Plans have been
resolved thanks to Gary VanVoorhis’
expertise. Howard will look into an
additional issue and see if there is a
character limit on text that can be
entered.
So far, the software has been stable. The
deadline to submit Unit Plans has been
extended to Friday, November 30.
Howard reported that the second meeting
of the Program Review committee met
last Friday. Twelve Program Reviews
have been completed. The remaining
three will be completed on Friday,
November 16.
Lydia commented that she liked the
consistency of the Program Review
Committee. She commented that she
learned a lot about the programs by being
a committee member. Mark shared that
same thought. It was good to have the
Child Development Center and Child
Development Education Program
Reviews scheduled back-to-back. The
same goes for Calculus, Basic Skills
Math, and Transfer Level Math which
were also scheduled back-to-back.
Howard commented that the Program
Review committee members
complemented each other very well.
Lydia commented that Howard and
Marie make a good team.
FOLLOW UP
The first set of Executive Summaries has
been sent out to the programs. Marie is
currently working on second set.
Program Review Coordinator (Marie
Eckstrom) receives 20% release time.
Programs are already asking when
comments can be put into their Program
Review document.
Howard commented that people are
doing a better job this year. They are
taking it more seriously and have the
involvement of their plan teams.
It was suggested that the Mailroom
program be combined with other contract
programs.
All agreed that the programs going
through review and the review cycle need
to be revisited. Kenn suggested that this
is done on an annual basis as part of the
IEC.
Howard stated that the Institutional
Planning Retreat date has to be changed
due to the presidential interviews.
Another date will be chosen once the
Master Calendar is reviewed.
III.
2014 Accreditation
Self Study
There was discussion about additional
people to add to the committee and how
often to meet.
All agreed that those who should be
invited are:
Matt Koutroulis – as the SLO liaison to
all committees.
Jim Sass – data
Chedva Weingart – Director of
Accounting
Student? - There is a question of
consistency. Student Emilio Nunez was
suggested, since he is actively involved
with PFC. Need to look at value to both
student and committee. This will be
revisited at start of next semester.
Kenn suggested that maybe it would be
better to have students serve as
consultants. Maybe a team of student
consultants or liaisons for the entire
process would be a good idea. More
discussion to follow.
Marie Eckstrom? – for Program Review
portion.
Lydia suggested including one page of
program highlights from Program
Review in the next FLEX meeting
package.
There was another suggestion to
highlight the Program Reviews in an eMessenger sent out by the President’s
office.
Howard will send prior year’s
Standard 1document to the
IEC committee
It was decided that the Standard 1
committee will meet during the 2nd IEC
meeting of each month.
How to write?
- Combination of paragraphs and
bullet points
- Include evidence and backup
- Identification of areas where we
have gaps
- How to deal with gaps
How will we organize ourselves?
Howard will send copy of
- Look at questions in Guide to

Process
- Quick Update
One comment from Lydia regarding
Meeting Minutes dated Nov. 13 – It was
Marie Eckstrom who initially suggested
including one page of program highlights
from Program Review in the next FLEX
meeting package.
Howard gave a quick update on the
planning process. Howard reported that
Gary Van Voorhis has been extremely
helpful in fixing PlanBuilder problems.
The problems with moving goals and
objectives and renumbering have been
resolved.
There was discussion regarding the
District Computer Lab. Who do they
belong to? The Lab has not been
included in any planning process. This is
an example of a gap.
Unit Plans are due on Friday, Nov. 30.
Area Plans are due Friday, Jan. 11.

2014 Accreditation
Self Study
The conversation begins today and either
Howard or Lydia will begin typing in
notes in rough form into the appropriate
sections utilizing the Guide to Evaluating
Institutions.
Best way to work is having conversations
on one section at a time, taking good
FOLLOW UP
notes, and discussing the notes. The
sections to address are: 1) Institutional
Mission and 2) Institutional
Effectiveness. Notes will be taken in
bullet and paragraph form. These notes
will be utilized in the final report. All
agreed that this process would work.
Robert Bethel asked how the evidence
will be included. Howard and Lydia will
put the evidence in a depository.
Evidence will be listed in an appendix
and will be noted in the text with
hyperlinks. Some evidence is not already
in electronic form and will need to be
scanned. ACCJC final report is in Word
format. Evidence will be mostly
submitted in PDF format.
Either Howard or Lydia will type the
notes as the committee goes forward.
Lydia and Howard recommended that the
committee start with “Improving
Institutional Effectiveness” since the first
section has to do with SLOs, and it
would be best to wait for Matt Koutroulis
to participate in the conversation. All
agreed to begin with Section 2 today.
There was discussion about Goals and
Objectives. What does “broad based
understanding” mean? Where is
evidence that there is understanding?
1. After Retreat, Goals and
Objectives go to governance
groups (PFC, Pres. Council, etc.)
2. All staff e-mail with link
3. Goals and Objectives have always
been included in State of College
address at Fall Flex Day.
Need to talk about improvement to
dialog.
Status of Educational Master Plan?
Howard is working with accreditation

Process
- Resource Allocation
Howard reported that he met with Kenn
and Henry who are the chairs for the
Faculty and Classified staffing
committees respectively. Kenn and
Henry are working on establishing the
staffing committees, and Howard has
established the meeting dates.
First meeting will be a prioritization
meeting followed by a meeting to
discuss the calibration process. Scoring
will be done online.
Kenn commented that per the
Governance Manual, there will be cochairs for the Faculty and Classified
staffing committees.
Committees will be formed for three
areas – Staffing, Facilities, and
Technology. Equipment has been
separated out and moved to additional
budget requests.
Howard stated that $18,000 has been
approved for the purchase of new
planning and resource allocation
software. With new software, there will
be a process for ranking and scoring all
Resource Allocation requests in a datadriven way. Additionally, planning
software will be created, supported, and
additional features will be added.
There are some concerns, though. The
company hasn’t been as responsive to
software problems in ESS – still not
completely sold on software.
Howard reminded the committee that
rankings are recommendations. With
the new software, Political discussions
will have to happen up front and then
the ranking.
The question was asked if this is true

Decisions are made ahead of time and
the correct data is input.
Robert expressed concerns about
transparency issues that have been
happening for many years. He stated
that in his opinion, recommending
committees do all the work and then
their ideas are not always valued.
Decisions have been made regardless of
their recommendations, and in his
opinion, no reason has been given.
Howard stated that the Facilities,
Equipment, and Technology request
process needs to be improved. The
“Peter Morrison” model would work for
Facilities, Equipment, and Technology.
The question was asked: What is the
process if there is something out of the
ordinary – how are exceptions handled?
Howard suggested going through the
ITC committee for the software
purchase. He also suggested having
discussions with Matt Koutroulis.
New software will be very similar to
what we’re using now.

Standards are minimal expectations, so
we should always meet the standards.

Howard reported that quite a few
evaluations have been received so far.
Some comments from IEC were:
- RHCLA did a good job with
table warm up.
- Benefit from more table
interaction especially after lunch.
- Good job summarizing climate
survey.
- Send out data before Retreat
- Add color tabs to binders
- Notebook resources are now on
our website.
- Student Success Scorecard is
now online
- Serve a lighter lunch
- Experts on each goal be prepared
ahead of time and bring ideas to
Retreat.
- Jim Sass’s Goals and Objectives
worksheet was a big help
- Warm up activity could be
related to something that would
be covered at Retreat. Howard
stated that this was the
RHCLA’s contribution. The goal
of the activity was to get people
used to working together – not a
heavy issue.
- Movie clips were good
Official approval to go forward with the
actual software itself. A lot more to
work on logistics. Need to work on
coming up with deciding actual data to
determine ranking.
FOLLOW UP
Maybe beta version of software could be
available in Fall for planning – not
resource allocation. Perhaps have just
one Unit and its programs do a beta test.
Need to set up a meeting to go forward
and set up a timeline. Howard and
Lydia will meet with Peter and Pedro.
 Evaluation of
Resource Allocation
Process – establish
steps
Lydia commented that she received
feedback from Colin Young and other
faculty that the faculty ranking is not
data driven enough. She suggested a
focus group to include staffing
committee members and those people
who are complaining.
Robert commented that there is planning
and a process, but then the final
decisions seem to come out of nowhere
and not based on original process.
Kenn stated that IEC needs to play a
bigger role in seeing that the process is
followed. IEC needs to be diligent.
Lydia stated that part of IEC is to
evaluate processes.
Lydia suggested a focus group to meet
in May. She will meet with Howard to
plan for a date – maybe on a Friday?
Howard suggested setting up parameters
that would help keep the structure that
has been created.
