Office of the President
Minutes of the College Council Meeting of June 9, 2003
Present: Dr. Caldwell, Ms. Ely, Dr. Fallo, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Hata, Mr., Neesby, Ms.
Pickens, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Stewart
Board Agenda
There will be a public hearing on the ECCE contract. Human Resources page 7 item 11
is withdrawn. There is also a handout that will be distributed that lists temporary casual
employees that did not get on the agenda. This handout will be distributed to board
members and public at the board meeting. We will go ahead and hire these persons until
the July meeting and ask the board to ratify it.
Graduation Costs
Dr. Caldwell will present the graduation cost figures at the next College Council meeting.
Attorney Listing
Mr. Beverly suggested that the college have an attorney on staff to save money.
Currently a listing is being put together of firms used and what types of services provided
by them. This will be discussed with the Planning and Budgeting Committee before a
recommendation is made. This information will be made available to board members and
public.
Food & Cafeteria Services
We are renewing the contract with S&B Foods due to their satisfactory performance.
As of Friday, June 6, 2003 the previous cafeteria operator has discontinued offering
services. The Culinary Arts program is closed. We are no longer able to bear the risk at
a loss. S&B Foods may be called in to provide cafeteria services. An outside vendor
would take 100% of risk while giving us 10% of gross income.
Dr. Hata will determine how many students will be affected by the program closure.
College Council Summer Meeting Schedule
College Council will meet July 7th, July 21st, and August 18, 2003. Other meetings may
be scheduled as needed.
Budget Discussion
President Fallo indicated that as we look forward to the 2004-05 fiscal year, he hopes to
provide the same notice requirements for managers, classified staff and faculty if
program reductions are necessary for full-time employees.
