A draft document was created and is being reviewed by the Planning Committee. There is
a Board Resolution on the April agenda with Troxell as the single source vendor.
Members discussed the addition of electrical outlets. Best placement of equipment to
support teaching will be a priority. The instructor station will be the same as the one in
MUB 255. The instructor station will have an installed computer with the ability to hookup a laptop. Security was discussed. All of the equipment will be cabled.

ITS will continue to roll-out desktop replacements. The Google doc on the ITAC
website is continually being updated.

counselors scheduled soon. The software comes with Starfish. We are not paying for
this software. CCCCO is willing to pay for re-assigned time to assist with
implementation. The CCCCO is paying for this software.
5. Identity Management Project update (Jay)
We are making progress. All identify management (employees and students) will originate
from of Banner. Active directory will support all logins. The software allows for selfservice passwords. It will do the provisioning and the de-provisioning of employee
accounts. Goal for July is to have Web4, Office 365, CCSF Gmail, and Wifi all using
Active Directory (AD). The login will be called the Ram ID.
6. Accreditation update
In early Fall, we will look at draft Policies related to IT for Board approval. These are
needed to meet new Accreditation standards.
7. Update on status of ITAC in Participatory Governance
Plans are moving forward to bring ITAC into PGC. The next PGC meeting will hopefully
have this on the agenda.
8. Tech Plan Revision – review drafts of each section
Revisions were made and discussed. All the sections, with revisions, will be integrated
for final review by ITAC at our 5/19 meeting. The last Planning meeting of the
semester is June 8, so the Tech Plan will be considered then.
New Business:
9. Can CCSF provide WordPress hosting on Fog or elsewhere?
Requested by VMD for features not available in our CMS.
Provisionally approved to install WordPress on Cloud, for departmental use only (not
individual faculty nor students). We will start with a pilot of the VMD Department only
using it. ITS does not have the staff to offer help, install extensions, make frequent
updates, nor support wider use. If these are needed, additional resources should be
requested in Program Review.
