Minutes: The minutes of May 21 were approved.
Professional Development: The Professional Development program is scheduled to begin next year.
A rough draft of the Staff Development Mission was shared with the group for discussion and input.
The four categories proposed for the program are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Core courses (including orientations)
Technology Training
Professional Development (including on and off campus workshops)
Personal Development
Comments:
 Divisional training should be included under core courses. Call them customized divisional
programs or division training.
 Where would the training currently done by Fiscal Service, ITS, and Purchasing go?
 Use the combination approach – sometimes a training session is needed and sometimes just
handouts will suffice.
 Reference guides are needed.
 Colleague training needs to be mandated for all new employees, especially managers. New,
untrained managers are causing lots of problems. Vic will find funding for this.
Copies of a Program Proposal Information Sheet from Metropolitan College were shared with the
group as an example of how to submit training/workshop proposals. Send proposed training
information electronically to Donna in this format by June 14. This will be an agenda item for the
staff meeting on the 18th. Trainers will be responsible for room reservations and AV arrangements.
They are looking for commitment to the program.

Bond: There will be several presentations on the bond at the June 24th Board meeting. The
poll of the community re: support for different tax levels started Sunday night and is
currently in progress. It should provide raw data by next week. The plan is to move forward
with the higher number, unless the poll indicates otherwise. Consultants have advised that it
is important to be prepared (they feel that ECC is well prepared) and then go for an amount
large enough so that the college won’t have to go out for a bond again in the near future.
Copies of the latest revision of the Facilities Master Plan Financial Projection were shared with the
group. Noted:
 B2 is where the $394 million ends. If ECC goes for the larger amount, all the items up to C3
can be done.
 The single largest item in the proposed plan is inflation; however, the overall inflation
adjustment figure could be divided up into the individual projects.
 Reimbursements include payments to consultants, etc. for the 90-day period prior to calling
of election by board (7/15/02).
 The ability to build equipment costs into bond estimates is new.
 Representatives from various on and off campus groups will be at the July 15 Board meeting
to ask the Board to approve the bond.
Summer Registration: Although the numbers for summer school appear down, it was noted that the
high school numbers haven’t been put in yet. Part of the problem is that the applications haven’t
been submitted for processing. The issue of timely submission of data needs to be addressed in
order to insure consistency in the figures generated for reports.
Committee Reports/Division Issues
 Satish Warrier: Colleague will be down Thursday night to Monday morning for
maintenance. The kiosks will be down from tomorrow to the 18th to make the changes
requested by Student Services.
 Maurice Elmore: They have started the construction to prepare for the portable classrooms.
Two trees had to be cut down for the storage building for supplies. The premiere bathrooms
will continue to be redone until they are done correctly.
 Marcy Wade: The customer service training was well done and should be of value to
participants.
 David Miller: They are having problems with the contractor scheduled to remodel the MCS
patio. The company is not responsive to requests for required items (such as the “as
builts”), so they are currently locked out.
 Alex Kelley: No faculty members are scheduled to get network connections for classes in
the portable Natural Science buildings. Requests of this nature are to be referred to the dean
of that division.
 Janice Ely: Classified employees received their retro checks. Joyce will begin working on
spring retro checks for part-time faculty next week. The deadline is June 20. Temporary
and non-cert temps will get retro checks for 2001. Kudos were given to custodian Lester
Green.
 Allene Quarles: The classified awards event is scheduled for October 23 at 1:30. The
faculty awards will be ready for August. Due to a death in her family, they are still waiting
for the consultant to reschedule the workshop for the CRC and to make her
recommendations.
 Bob Gann: Nadine Hata and Irv Drew made a decision to move Physics 8 to MCS 106 (the
tutoring lab) for the duration of the Natural Science building remodeling. The tutoring lab
will be relocated to the game room in the Student Development area. The question was
raised as to what the staffing plan was for bond activities if it passes. Managers were asked
to define and identify anticipated bond-related staffing needs (by division) and send the
information to Vic.
Meeting adjourned at 9:35 a.m.
