Special meeting: The College Council will meet Tuesday, April 9th from 12:00-2:00 PM
in the Board Room to discuss Procedure 801 and Linking Planning to Budgeting.
Committees on Website: Susan has made a listing of all committees currently on the
website, this listing will be distributed to committee members. When Procedure 801 is
discussed we need to look at how the committees link together.
Accreditation: The team strongly recommended that El Camino College go forward with
a bond measure in November. The team stated that a bond would be the only way for El
Camino to address its serious facility concerns. We will receive a draft report within the
next two weeks.
Bond Campaign: Ann Garten provided summaries from the three interviews for Bond
Consultants held last week. The committee that conducted the interviews unanimously
decided upon Catherine Lew. College Council accepts the recommendation.
It will be important for us to know what our projects will be and the dollar amount as
soon as possible. There will need to be three presentations to the Board of Trustees. The
first presentation will be April 15th and will be a financial overview of how bonds work
by Ernesto Flores. The second will be May 20th and will be a presentation of what the
team and community come up with. The third will be July 15th and will be a presentation
of what the identified projects are.
