Minutes of the College Council Meeting of February 21, 2006
Present: Dr. Fallo, Dr. Marsee, Ms Caldwell, Mr. Middleton, Ms. Pickens, Ms. Smith, and Dr.
Simon.
1. Board Agenda
a. Academic Affairs - Accreditation Progress Report – there may be minor changes –
which would include a schedule of Administrative Services units. The intent of the
report will not be changed – the changes are only for clarification. This report was
completed one week ago. Our 2008 Accreditation Co-Chairs are Arvid Spor and
Ruth Banda-Ralph. We will have several positions to fill for each standard. There
are four standards instead of ten standards – but there are a lot of sub-standards. The
biggest issue for 2008-2009 will be student learning outcomes.
b. Administrative Services
i. Contracts Under $50,000 It is reported that “Net” refers to the income
received after expenses are paid.
ii. Contracts Over $50,000 It was noted that the ESL Group is paid a monthly
fee for the services of Thomas Nilad who is the Interim Director for the Small
Business Development Center.
iii. Enron A resolution authorizing the settlement of the District’s bankruptcy
claims against Enron, including participation in the “True-up” process, that
authorizes the Community College League of California (CCLC) to execute
the settlement agreement on behalf of the District is being presented to the
Board. Joining in this settlement with CCLC puts us in a better position.
c. Measure “E” Bond Fund – part of the refunding income will go towards the
increased costs of the Learning Resource Center project. The Measure “E” Project
Budget listing will be revised in approximately 14 months.
