EL CAMINO COLLEGE
Office of the President
Minutes of the College Council Meeting of March 17, 2003
Present: Ms. Ely, Dr. Fallo, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Hata, Dr. Caldwell, Ms. Caldwell, Ms. Pickens, Dr.
Simon, Ms. Stewart, and Ms. Smith.
Position Control
Mr. Hanson distributed his memo outlining vacant frozen positions dated March 14, 2003.
Cabinet will identify critical positions for the operations of the college.
Policy and Procedures for Handling Complaints of Unlawful Discrimination
Leo Middleton presented his draft policy and procedures. It was determined that in order to
conform to the CCLC policy and procedure format the policy and procedures should be separate
documents. We currently have board policy 3410 – Nondiscrimination and the policy language
needs to be extracted from Leo’s document to amend this existing policy. Leo will bring these
documents back to College Council when complete.
Facilities Needs
The Facilities Steering Committee will meet on March 31, 2003 from 1-2:30 p.m. in Library 202.
Budget
Mr. Hanson distributed Scott Lay’s CCLC Budget update and said we are still working with the
same target.
Emergency Preparedness
Chief D’Amico reported that Rocky Bonura has sent out an e-mail addressing what to do in case
of an emergency. There is no knowledge that El Camino College is in any way a target. There is
a meeting scheduled for building captains to ensure they are prepared. It is important to remain
calm and professional and to reassure colleagues.
Collegial Consultation—Representative-Mutually Agree
Ms. Stewart feels the simplest way to resolve this issue is to have more Academic Senate
representation on the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC). This discussion will continue
at the next College Council meeting.
Dr. Caldwell pointed out that the PBC rarely makes recommendations. There have only been
three recommendations coming out of PBC. This information has been misreported in the
Academic Senate minutes. For accurate record of PBC proceedings, please refer to the PBC
minutes.
