longer pay for the use of ETUDES was rescinded after discussion. This item needs to go through
from the Educational Planning Committee.

review.
SHARED GOVERNANCE TASK FORCE: Leslie Milke announced that copies of the yearly
spring evaluations will be mailed out today and are due next month. After much discussion, the
Shared Governance Task Force Recommendations to College Council was revised, finalized, and
adopted by consensus. Co-Chairs of the standing committees will also be the Shared Governance
Task Force and meet the hour before College Council. Maury Pearl will be asked to develop a
unified plan on posting minutes.
NEW BUSINESS
STRATEGIC PLAN: Leslie Milke and Joe Ramirez updated the Strategic Plan with the status
of each of the goals. Most of the goals have been completed or in progress; very few have not
been completed. The responsible person for each of the goals should report the status to College
Council.
HEALTH FITNESS CENTER: The Health and Fitness Center will be use a tracking system
which is different from the smart card. The college is seeking to purchase a smart card system
for the entire college that is not home-grown. Granada High School was a school identified as

smart card for several buildings that will be identified. Maury Pearl will be asked to follow-up.
