Part of the hold-up on filing it last month was on moving FTES from last year to this year. He noted that the second quarter will reflect the transfer of those FTES.

The advice of the consultant was that we continue to float the rates. The rate with this contract is only 4 or 5 % more than last year and by extending this agreement through June 30, the school districts can be back on the market in the early spring. Energy prices are dropping rapidly.

10 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 8, RATIFICATION OF EXTENSION AGREE- MENT FOR PURCHASE OF ELECTRICITY (Continued) 9.8 APPROVAL OF FIVE- YEAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PLAN Mr. Pierson asked if this is mostly high voltage because 6.4 cents is actually pretty good. Mr. Erdman said yes. It was moved by Mr. Lucas, seconded by Mr. Myers, and carried TO RATIFY EXTENDING THE AGREEMENT WITH CONSTELLATION NEW ENERGY THROUGH JUNE 30, The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. Mr. Erdman noted that the District received two block grants this year - one is actually a backfill for PFE money that the District lost this year. Mr. Erdman said he was moving PFE money to replace the roofs on three buildings. The cost for the roofs will be approximately $300,000 and the work will be done about one year ahead of schedule. Mr. Pierson asked if that means in three years that we will then be caught up on roofs. Jim Taylor, Director of Physical Plant Services said yes, adding that there will, of course, be upkeep. Mrs. Pratt said the plan states that that there is funding for matched funds from our budget. She asked if the District has the matching funds. Mr. Erdman said there are no matching funds in the budget this year. Because of our decline in FTES, the Chancellor s office said they would waive that match. In the future, we will have to build it into the budget. Mrs. Hunn asked if we will know ahead of time or whether it would hit the District mid-season. Mr. Erdman said he will need to build it in and decide how much money will be needed for the different match requirements. The District was really lucky this year to get the waiver to offset the loss of funding. Regarding the installation of a new campus waterline in , Mr. Lucas asked where that was planned. Mr. Erdman said the first phase will come in off of Old Oregon Trail and replace the low lines. It is budgeted in the library annex construction. Mr. Lucas asked where they will start Phase 2. Mr. Taylor said at the north part of the campus. Mr. Erdman added that it was just off of Old Oregon Trail.

11 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 8, APPROVAL OF FIVE- YEAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PLAN (Continued) Mrs. Pratt noted that on Page 81, it states that the water delivery system improvements item is the District s first priority. Mr. Erdman said they were designating it as #1 because the water delivery systems are a critical item for the campus. As buildings are added, the supply lines and ability to serve the water needs is shrinking. Jim Taylor noted that the water needed for the farm during the summer really makes them worry. Gary Lewis said the state used to give us a block grant for instructional equipment and a block grant for infrastructure. Now they lump the two block grants together. In the past, the college has not done a good job budgeting a sinking fund and that must be done. Mr. Lucas said Mr. Lewis must be talking about a dedicated reserve. It is a good idea, but we have to have the funds. Mr. Lewis said the college lost some money because it didn t have matching funds. Jim Taylor stated that they re-applied and got those funds. Mrs. Pratt asked if some of the projects are done in-house. Mr. Erdman said the large projects are done outside the campus workforce such as roofs, boilers, and pumps; however, anything we can do, we do inside. Mrs. Judi Beck asked if the track is completed. Mr. Lewis said yes, except the company who did it is declaring bankruptcy and they are billing us for $96,000. Mr. Erdman said he is working with the attorney on this issue. The suit was filed in Atlanta, Georgia, and it may cause us to have to go there, possibly several times, which could be expensive. Cathy Anderson, Academic Senate President, asked if Mr. Erdman said he transferred PFE funds from the general fund. Mr. Erdman said all of these funds, including PFE are lumped into the general fund. The Chancellor s Office is adament that we use the block grant funding to backfill PFE and use that money we would have used to fill the lost PFE funds for the maintenance. The Chancellor s Office wants to report against it. They can tell the

12 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 8, APPROVAL OF FIVE- YEAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PLAN (Continued) legislature that we needed the money and used it for PFE funds. Instead of supplementing from general fund we are using the block grant money so we can say the block grant money was spent. Cathy Anderson reminded Mr. Erdman that the Academic Senate gets to approve the final PFE budget. Mr. Lucas said $96,000 is a sizeable amount and the Board should be kept aware of that. Mr. Erdman said this is something that has recently come up and he was waiting until he received an answer from the attorney. Mr. Erdman said he would never entertain a settlement without coming to the Board. It was moved by Mrs. Pratt, seconded by Mrs. Hunn, and carried TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT THE FIVE-YEAR SCHEDULED MAINTE- NANCE PLAN TO THE CHANCELLOR S OFFICE, AS PROPOSED. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. 9.9 APPROVAL OF HAZARDOUS SUB- STANCE PROJECT FUNDING PROPOSAL Mr. Erdman recommended approval. Mrs. Pratt asked if there is a market for the by-product. Mr. Erdman said it is disposed of as hazardous waste. Mrs. Hunn asked if they have gotten rid of the bats. Mr. Taylor said they have sealed off the buildings and now just have to remove the bat guano. They foamed the exterior. Mrs. Pratt asked if the flickers affect the foam. Mr. Taylor said they still have a problem with the woodpeckers under the eaves. Mr. Erdman noted that a bat can collapse itself down to ¼ inch high. Sealing the holes alone is a huge effort. It was moved by Mr. Lucas and seconded by Mrs. Hunn TO APPROVE THE HAZARDOUS SUB- STANCE FUNDING PROPOSED, FOR SUBMITTAL TO THE CHANCELLOR S OFFICE.

13 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 8, APPROVAL OF HAZARDOUS SUB- STANCE PROJECT FUNDING PROPOSAL (Continued) 9.10 AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR FIRE ALARM REPLACEMENT PROJECT, PHASE 2 Mrs. Pratt asked if the college has to match any funds. Mr. Erdman said no. The motion carried. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. Mr. Erdman said the plans for this project were resubmitted to DSA and we need to be ready to solicit bids for Phase 2 to stay within the funding timelines. Mrs. Pratt asked what the estimated budget would be. Mr. Taylor said it was approximately $200,000. Mr. Erdman noted that this money has already been set aside. It was moved by Mrs. Cheri Beck, seconded by Mr. Myers, and carried TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINI- STRATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR PHASE 2 OF THE FIRE ALARM REPLACEMENT PROJECT AS SOON AS DSA APPROVAL IS RECEIVED. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative GRANT AWARD FROM THE FOUNDATION OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES Dr. Retterer recommended approval. It was moved by Mr. Lucas and seconded by Mrs. Cheri Beck TO APPROVE THE GRANT AWARD FROM THE FOUNDATION OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES. Mrs. Pratt said students will be mentored in approved ECE sites. She asked whether Shasta College was approving a Weaverville ECE site. The site in Weaverville needs to be approved. She asked if they qualify for any of this. Dr. Retterer said this is CalWORKs. Mrs. Pratt said, then, she did not think they would qualify. Mrs. Pratt asked how much money 75% of CalWORKs translates into. Dr. Retterer said she did not know. The motion carried. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

It was moved by Mrs. Pratt, seconded by Mr. Myers, and carried TO APPROVE THE LETTER OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SAN FRANCISCO COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT AND SHASTA COLLEGE FOR THE CALIFORNIA EARLY CHILDHOOD MENTOR PROGRAM. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. Mr. Al Erdman stated that if we lose the ITV bridge, all of our classes go down. Mr. Doug Meline, Associate Vice President of Technology, agreed, saying the bridge is at its capacity. It was failing every Monday for two sections. They don t think they can wait until the Library Annex is up. There is an opportunity with the selected product to have a significant discount. Mr. Lucas asked if two alternative quotes were obtained. Mr. Meline said yes, they are even giving the vendors an opportunity to requote. Mr. Pierson said this appears to have some urgency to it. He asked if this was planned for and whether the staff were aware of the bridge s inability to support the system. Doug Meline said Title III has the money this year in the budget. They were dragging it out to conserve money and wanted to combine its purchase with the construction of the Library Annex and leverage those dollars. Mrs. Pratt asked where the money is coming from. Mr. Erdman said it is a combination of Title III, TTIP, and General Fund Technology funds. Mr. Erdman said they would need a maximum of $123,000. Mr. Lucas said it appears they must take action by December 31. Mrs. Pratt asked how much of a discount they were getting. Mr. Erdman said $30,000.
