Present: Dr. Fallo, Dr. Marsee, Dr. Arce, Dr. Baker, Dr. Dever, Ms. Caldwell, Mr. Middleton, Ms.
Pickens, Ms. Smith, and Dr. Simon.
1. Budget – President Fallo joined with the Underfunded Districts’ Caucus for meetings in
Sacramento with representatives from the Governor’s Office, Department of Finance, and the
Speaker of the State Assembly. The Governor’s Office Staff wants to know how equalization
money was used. This information will be submitted at a later date. Ann Garten will submit
our data.
Many people believe that SB361 will not survive as it is currently written but will pass in some
form. President Fallo, Ann Garten, and Robert Campbell will visit Sacramento in opposition to
SB361. Another big issue is the Community College Initiative Ballot proposition being urged
through the Community College League of California.
2. The Actuary Report of Retiree Health Liabilities – will be discussed at a later date.
3. Tree Removal – faculty have requested the removal of two trees near the greenhouse behind
the Murdock Stadium. Dr. Marsee has agreed to remove one tree for safety and sun access
concerns.
4. Classified Termination – The ECCE representative historically has received notification of an
upcoming termination – even when the employee declines representation. In those cases the
there is only notification of the event with no names given. Dr. Marsee will make sure this
occurs in the future.

representative will follow-up with Nina Velasquez to see if the issue has been resolved.
