Report
The June 28, 2011, regular meeting minutes were approved.
-Meeting with Dr. Stone and Amy Bosley (the HR Team and the Organizational
Development Team) has been changed to 9/19/11.
-Agenda for the meeting:
1) Better understanding of organization and contract renewal and what that
means. The communication piece of that happening. Lack of communication is
making the stress factor at the college very high. Is there a set of rules for noncontract renewal? When should employees be notified if they are not being
reappointed? A detailed explanation of the contract and the wording of the contract
would be helpful.
2) What do we want from Human Resources? Communication piece, etc. How
can we help our team be more prepared and flexible?
3) Conflict transformation
4) Donna and Liz will meet to come up with questions and the agenda for the
meeting.
-The PSLT Matrix was proposed to Dr. Stone. He had a question about the
compensation piece, is it within Valencia community or the outside community? It
was decided that the compensation piece should stay within the Valencia
community.
-Bereavement leave was added back to the matrix
-Josh asked that professional grievance procedure be added to the matrix. A
grievance procedure should be developed for professional staff similar to the career
and faculty grievance procedures as there is currently not a grievance procedure in
place for professional staff.
-Liz asked that we review the matrix because she would like to send the agenda and
the schedule to Dr. Stone and Amy Bosley by July 20. If we have any other
information to add please submit those items ASAP.
By-laws – Liz discussed the two absence regulation for attending meetings and
asked that the PSLT members please adhere to this regulation.
-Currently we have members serving on two different councils. The question was
raised as to whether we want to include it in the by-laws that a PSLT member could
only represent one council at a time. Debi suggested that maybe we should wait to
discuss this to see what happens with the new governance. Liz suggested bringing
it up at the 8/19/11 meeting.
