Linking Planning to Budgeting
Dr. Fasteau reported he sent proposal to the District Planning Council members asking
for feedback. Two members did respond and did so favorably. Most Community
Colleges are combining these committees for efficiency.
Dr. Simon reported that the majority of the Budget Development Committee were
opposed and felt it would not be efficient. It was suggested to first try meeting jointly
twice a semester.
Mr. Marston reported a lot of negative feedback from the Budget Development
Committee. There was a concern about increased workload. There was a lot of support
for joint meetings but not for combining the two.
Chief D’Amico reported that at the Budget Development Committee there were strong
views in both directions and not a complete consensus. The focus was on the timing
issue.
Ms. Stewart stated that two separate committees would give faculty members more
opportunity to participate. Organizers could create a time frame that would enable
faculty to participate. Ms. Stewart feels that the Master Plan shows a lack of
understanding of what faculty and El Camino College really do.
Harold Tyler stated that some faculty would need 50% release time to commit and feels
strongly that combining committees would work.
Mr. Hanson stated that the Budget Development Committee does not do a lot of meeting
work during fall semester and that time could be used for planning. Then shift into the
budget into spring. In the beginning there will be more work as people learn what
planning aspect involves.
Dr. Fallo would like a decision next week.
