Present: Dr. Caldwell, Ms. Caldwell, Ms. Ely, Dr. Fallo, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Hata, Mr.
Marston, Dr. Simon and Ms. Smith.
TEAM REPORTS
President - Dr. Thomas M. Fallo
President Fallo reported that he was disappointed about the decision not to go ahead with
the bond measure in the March election. President Fallo stated that we should, however,
follow the recommendation of Mr. Kinney’s firm.
President Fallo reported that the parameters that were set for the food court proposal
included the ability to provide capital investment and provide quality food at three locations.
It is the intention of President Fallo to keep the campus clear of vehicles, advertisement and
vendors.
It was decided to put Procedure 801 on the January 2002 agenda. President Fallo stated that
if we can get the planning and consultation function down we may be able to have more prediscussion.
AFT, Local 1388 - Dr. Angela Simon
Dr. Simon reported that Dave Westberg had inquired about changing the summer 2003
calendar to two 5-week summer sessions with one session overlapping. It was reported that
the soonest the summer session could be changed would be for summer 2004. It was also
reported that the person making the request must bring for reasons and rationale for the
calendar change. Dr. Simon is going to suggest that Dave Westberg meet with President
Fallo Tuesday at 2:00.
Dr. Simon identified a need to complete the development of the Collegial Consultation
process, which will alleviate future problems.
Administrative Services - Mr. Victor Hanson
Mr. Hanson met with Jennifer Apple and Joshua Lawson to discuss the food court proposal.
Two of the students’ concerns were that prices would be consistent with fast food prices and
they wanted to ensure that there would be income of $75,000 per year. Mr. Hanson
reassured them on both items.
Mr. Hanson reported that the recommendation for the food court proposal is very strong at
this point. When the contract with the previous food vendor was terminated the Cater Craft
trucks and P & A Foods were brought in on an interim basis until a permanent solution was
identified. The Cater Craft trucks were never meant to be permanent and they came in
under those conditions.
Associated Students Organization – Ms. Jennifer Apple
After meeting with Mr. Hanson, Ms. Apple reported (via telephone) that she and Mr.
Lawson met with Harold Tyler to discuss the food court proposal. The students would like
to put 3 suggestion boxes on campus; information regarding the changes suggested by the
Administration would be laminated to the boxes and cards would be made available for
suggestions. The cards will have a place to note whether student, staff, faculty or other. Dr.
Caldwell will meet with Harold Tyler to address this request.
El Camino Classified Employees - Ms. Luukia Smith
Ms. Smith expressed her feeling that there had already been a decision made to accept the
food court proposal before bringing it to College Council. Ms. Smith reported that Janet
Clarke already informed the Cater Craft vendors that their contract would not be renewed
due to the new food court.
Student and Community Advancement - Dr. Patricia Caldwell
Dr. Caldwell distributed the proposed El Camino College Vision, Mission and Values
statement for review. The committee approved this statement as presented.
Revised Board Policy 1200—The El Camino College Mission, Philosophy, Values and
Guiding Principals was also approved and will be presented for Board Amendment at the
December Board meeting.
