Dr. Caldwell, Mr. Josh Dunn, Ms. Ely, Mr. Hanson, Ms. Smith, Mr. Marston, Dr. Simon
Bond Vic reported that the committee formed to choose an architectural firm to review
the College’s Facilities Needs Report has selected a firm which will be recommended to
the Board at its February meeting. Referring to an article in the February 7th issue of the
Union in which Lance Widman was quoted as saying the board is the “best kept secret at
El Camino College,” Vic asked members of College Council if they have been sharing
materials such as the Facilities Needs Report and items on the Bond Work Plan with their
constituents. He asked for suggestions for ways this information could better be shared
with the campus. Pat said she will be meeting with members of the Associated Students
Organization on February 28th. Doug and Luukia suggested a series of open forums at
various times so employees can attend. Josh Dunn said the students are somewhat
familiar with the issue, but he personally wonders where classes will be held during
construction. Vic said a recommendation to purchase 8 modules for labs/storeroom and 4
classrooms for the Natural Sciences building construction will be taken to the February
Board meeting. He said that as the project will be done in two phases, this should be
adequate. Pat noted this will release rooms in the Cafeteria that were proposed for
classrooms. Luukia said she thought people would support the bond when they
understand what they will gain and at what cost to them personally. Luukia noted need
for more appropriate restroom for those who work in the Community Advancement
building.
