Minutes: The minutes of February 11 were approved.
Facilities Master Plan Meetings: Bob reported that he and David, along with Pat Caldwell, and
Deborah Shepley (tBP Architecture) will be meeting with academic divisions and SCA areas re:
the Facilities Master Plan. There was a large turnout (70-80) for a recent meeting with the
Humanities Division, and a small turnout (12) when they met with the Health Sciences and
Athletics Division. No major issues re: the plan were raised; however, some have taken to using
these meetings as a forum to complain about the current parking situation.
They will meet with Administrative Services at the next Area Council meeting, which has been
rescheduled to March 5 at 8:30 a.m. in the Alondra Room. Everyone in Administrative Services
is invited.
The bond rating was received and was insured to AAA. The college can sell bonds up to $75
million as long as the tax rate is 18.89 or less
Board Update
 The March and June Board meeting dates have been changed to March 10 and June 9. It
was noted that the new March date will seriously impact the Natural Science project
contracts.
 The employment of two non-cert temps (the Telecommunication Technicians) was
extended to June 30th..
 Sheryl Kimball’s title was corrected (to Information Technology Specialist).
 The Maas contract was withdrawn at Bill Beverly’s request and is to be resubmitted next
time with more information. Suggestions: (1) Submit the information in Beverly’s Board
packet. (2) Break it down into yearly requests rather than five years at once.
 The new org chart for SCA (see handout) was approved.
 Janet will check on the SBDC rental contract for the Keenan building because they are
reportedly scheduled to move to Inglewood in April.
 Steve F. questions on move and whether he needs 519. Questions as to what he gets to
take.
 A handout from the Board meeting (Impact of Mid -Year Budget Reductions – February
18, 2003) was shared with the group.
 The issue of employees getting information developed in classification reviews was
raised.
AB 500: Starting July 1, non certs (usually classified staff) will need to fully complete an ESR to
be processed; casuals (usually not classified) will need to complete the form from Pat Caldwell’s
office (and go before the Board) in order to be processed in compliance with the law.
Security: Everyone using ECC as Internet Service Provider will need to be recertified through
their divisions before March 1. Otherwise, their approval will expire February 28th.
Committee Reports/Division Issues
 Alex Kelley
 Due to budget cuts, Web support will cease on February 28th.
 The next AS Quarterly Users meeting has been rescheduled to this Friday at 1 p.m.
 Pam Fees:
 The long lines at cashiers’ window last night were probably due to the Friday deadline
for adding classes. It was reported that Nadine Hata is requiring Admissions to be
open until 7 p.m., but Fiscal Services will not be open that late.
 Over 2,000 Financial Aid checks will be disbursed starting today.
 Janet Clarke: She will meet with Satish re: changes to the Colleague system due to staff
moves.
 Bob Gann: Due to addendums, the Natural Science bids were extended and will not close
until tomorrow. This, combined with the earlier March Board meeting date, may mean
they won’t be ready to go to the Board in March.
 Marcy Wade
 Two disciplinary settlements are in the works.
 Managers are encouraged to attend the very timely and informative Liebert
Cassidy workshops. It was noted that they are trying to expand their video
conferencing capabilities.
 She will attend the Southern 30 meeting on the last Friday of this month.
 David Miller: Due to complications from the rain last week, the revised completion date
for the new fire line project is March 21 (instead of March 15).
Meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m.
