TEAM REPORTS
Associated Students Organization – Ms. Jennifer Apple
Mr. Lawson and Ms. Apple reported that they have collected the Food Service Survey
suggestion cards and the results will be compiled and available by December 10th. Mr.
Lawson also reported that there had been several petitions circulated on campus. It was
reported that a unanimous vote by the Senate of the ASO indicated that it is in the students’
best interest to allow the Cater Craft trucks to remain on campus.
Mr. Lawson also reported that there is no objection to the food court, however the
unpredictability of the types of services available does cause concern. The students feel they
should have more input in the decision making process.
President - Dr. Thomas M. Fallo
President Fallo reported that a decision has been made to remove the food trucks and go
ahead with two of the mini food courts. The convenience store next to the Bookstore is
open for business. The projection is for both food courts to be operational by February
2002. The location for the food courts will be MCS-the room that currently houses the
vending machines and Common Grounds-the convenience store in the center of campus.
President Fallo reported that a priority for College Council as of January 2002 will be to
redraft Procedure 801 to define clearly the procedures relating to Collegial Consultation.
President Fallo reported that the Legislative Analyst’s Office has an analysis of the
Governor’s budget. They have reported a $12.4 billion budget deficit for the next 2 years.
The COLA projection for 2003 will be 2.6%; however, this amount could change in AprilMay time frame. This will not affect the 2002 COLA of 5%. In an answer to a question
from Ms. Smith, President Fallo stated that managers, supervisors and the president are all
tied to the same indexes as units.
AFT, Local 1388 - Dr. Angela Simon
Dr. Simon reported that the Union Newspaper stated that the kiosks were being removed
due to contractual problems. Dr. Simon inquired if a legitimate contract could be signed.
Mr. Harold Tyler reported that our current advertising policy that prohibits advertisement on
campus comes from the Education Code. This policy does not cover the Union newspaper
where advertisement is permitted.
