2 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, FACULTY ASSOCIATION REPORT 6.2 ACADEMIC SENATE REPORT There was no one present for the Faculty Association. Frank Nigro, Academic Senate President, asked to speak to Item 8.1 Personnel Retirements and/or Resignations. Dr. Nigro said he received a wonderful letter for being chosen for the Hayward Award. Once a faculty member receives the Excellent Educator award, their name is forwarded as a candidate for the Hayward Award. Dr. Nigro showed the plaque he received on Monday at the Chancellor s Office. This is the first Hayward Award received here at Shasta College. Dr. Nigro said he had been getting a lot of attention. There were 3 or 4 articles that appeared; he did a television interview; the award was presented at a prior Board Meeting; and then it was presented at the Board of Governors meeting. Dr. Nigro said he didn t have the opportunity to thank everyone. He acknowledged his wonderful colleagues who nominated him for the award, the staff who showed confidence in him as President of the Academic Senate, and the Administration Gary Lewis, Peggy Moore, who were very supportive. Dr. Nigro thanked Dr. Brian Spillane, his Dean who has always been a mentor and has gone above and beyond to guide him professionally. He stated that his mother is not here. She started in a community college. She had five children when she started attending Cabrillo Community College. She got her Bachelors and Masters degrees and had a successful career as an English teacher. Dr. Nigro thanked his lovely wife Kazumi Oyama-Nigro, who works in the Human Resources Office. People talk about how wonderful it is to meet Kazumi. She is a wonderful wife and person. Dr. Nigro said he didn t think he would have all his success as an instructor without Kazumi. One final thing the co-recipient for this award, from Santa Barbara City College, said they have brought home 7 of these awards - we have some catching up to do. Board President Martin Myers congratulated Dr. Nigro and thanked him for his report.

3 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, CLASSIFIED EMPLOY- EES ASSOCIATION REPORT Sandy Heisler, CSEA Chapter 381 President, stated that classified staff have been busy working on remodels, maintenance and attending various training workshops related to their specific areas: Jim Taylor has scheduled several training sessions for his staff including asbestos and welding; Nancy Funk had training for several classified staff on Business Office procedures; and Peggy Moore set up a meeting with the Administrative Assistants to review scheduling issues, which the Administrative Assistants appreciated very much. They hope there are more of those meetings in the near future. They have scheduled the first employer-employee meeting with the District and they are looking forward to assisting the Administration in resolving various issues. The Chapter now has a website which is a link off of the State Association s site. The job stewards met after work this week to try to come up with some guidelines regarding the use of the Food Services area. They are hoping to give a draft document to the District in the next couple of weeks and feel that this will help resolve some issues that both the District and CSEA have had over the past several years. They think these guidelines will help both management and classified staff in clarifying the use of those facilities in relation to classified staff. Ms. Heisler asked to speak to Item 8.4 Personnel- Employment-Classified. 6.4 STUDENT SENATE REPORT Robert Wilson, Student Senate President/Student Trustee, stated that they are having Knight s Night Out this Friday, which is a dance in the cafeteria.

They are hosting Huck Finn Day on April 20 this will be the 31 st Annual Huck Finn Day. They ve been working on planning this since January.

4 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, BOARD MEMBER REPORTS 6.6 SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT Mrs. Cheri Beck said she enjoyed participating in the interviews for the Vice President of Academic Affairs. She said the welcome reception for Joe Wyse was great and she is happy to have him aboard. Gary Lewis presented Martin Myers with a birthday card today is his 35 th birthday. Mr. Lewis announced that two Shasta College students were chosen for the California All State Academic Team. Wes Brown was chosen for the first team and Bonnie Wilson is on the third team. President Lewis welcomed Joe Wyse to Shasta College this is Day 8. Mr. Lewis said he was going to say some things about Frank Nigro and the Hayward Award but Frank said them. Mr. Lewis asked Gary Houser to say something about the student athletes honored for academic achievement. Mr. Houser stated that a baseball player, Allen Smith, was chosen as the one athlete in the sport of baseball from all the community colleges for the academic award. They also select team awards on collective GPA and our softball team won. Mr. Houser said the first time he was here, he presented Ricky Ray with the academic award when he played football and almost every year since that, Shasta College has had an athlete selected or a team. Last year we had the female scholar athlete of the year in the state. This speaks well of Shasta College. Mr. Houser said March 22 nd is the 13 th Annual Celebrity Dinner Auction. Cliff Branch of the Oakland Raiders is the guest speaker. If anyone would like to come, they have seats available. Gary Lewis stated that on February 21, he drove to San Francisco to attend a statewide CEO meeting. It was very informative. Both Chancellor Drummond and the new Associate Chancellor for Administrative Services spoke.

5 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT (Continued) President Lewis said Larry Champion, of the Tehama County ROP program, attended the Statewide Conference on Economic and Workforce Development with him and other Shasta College attendees, February 27 through March 1. It was an excellent conference. Brad Banghart was in the Shasta College group and his area received an award for our increases in contract education sales. Mr. Banghart is making a real effort and there are positive consequences with economic and workforce development. On March 2, Mr. Lewis said he, Tom Orr, and other representatives from Shasta College met with Red Bluff City staff regarding the Tehama College Center. They have had staff transitions like we have so everyone is getting on board with the same information. Mr. Lewis said he attended the Red Bluff Rotary on March 6. On March 7, Joe Wyse, Kevin O Rorke, James Crandall, and Gary Lewis met with Assemblyman Doug LaMalfa and then with Chancellor Drummond and his staff. We are getting known in Sacramento. President Lewis said he and Peggy Moore met with Larry McKinney of Simpson University and his staff to discuss collaboration in the health sciences. Mr. Lewis said this week he attended the Northern CEO Conference at Yosemite and Yosemite is absolutely unbelievable. It was incredible. Mr. Lewis said one of his colleagues is retiring, Dave Bush. Dave is a marvelous person. He has been faculty coordinator in the Math Department, He has created opportunities for Shasta College to articulate with high schools. He helped us put together our soccer programs and he is a great guy. It will be really difficult to replace him. He is full of energy and will be sorely missed.

6 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, REPORT ON CON- STRUCTION PROJECTS Gary Lewis introduced Jonathan McMurtry and Victor Burbank of Lionakis Beaumont Design Group, Inc. who would give the Board an update on how things are progressing in Tehama County. They showed a PowerPoint presentation. Mr. McMurtry stated that they met with fire department personnel earlier today on this project. The Lionakis staff have been working with Gary Lewis, his staff, and Board Members Harold Lucas and Rayola Pratt. Gary Lewis said that committee has come up with pretty much final decisions on the basics. They have proposed a covered walkway between buildings. Patricia Hunn asked how they would be able to expand up if they are putting windows on top of the buildings. Mr. Lewis said that, on the general site plan, there is a tight budget. If they add $100,000 for elevators and $100,000 for two sets of stairs, they calculated that it will cost less to build two, one-story buildings instead of one, two-story building. To add stories later on, they would lose the use of the building(s) for 14 months. There will be portables brought in for this Phase I. The next phase, which will be the library and housing, will include a pedestrian connection to the housing. Eventually they will replace the portables with permanent construction, depending on the budget. Cheri Beck asked if the schedule reflecting DSA taking only three months was realistic. Mr. McMurtry said yes, because community college projects have priority over K- 12 projects. It takes six months for K-12 projects. Mrs. Cheri Beck said she didn t think DSA will get it done in three months. Jonathan McMurtry said they just completed three projects and DSA turned it out in less than three months. He also has seen it done faster than that by DSA; three months is realistic. Dan Prideaux, 3D/I project manager, said the Health Sciences and University Center building took 3.5 months but conditions have changed at DSA since then. They were warned that the big glut of

7 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, REPORT ON CON- STRUCTION PROJECTS (Continued) bonds was going to affect them. A COS project was submitted last Friday and is scheduled for review on March 26. Mr. McMurtry said DSA also does a lot of review outsourcing. The project-checkers came to their office and did the last review. Regarding the Health Sciences and University Center, Mr. Prideaux said there will be no problem at all moving in this summer. Mr. Lewis said if any Board Members want to walk through the construction site, please call Sue and arrangements will be made for a tour. It is awesome and really interesting. At this point, they are putting sheet rock on the inside. Gary Lewis said John Lutkemeier has done a great job on our end to make sure things are going well. This has been a good collaborative effort with 3D/I, our staff, and the contractors. Patricia Hunn asked if the rigging in the Theatre has been installed. Mr. Wyse said that work will start this next Monday. 6.8 REPORT ON GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND EXPENDITURES 6.9 REPORT ON DISTRICT FINANCIALS Joe Wyse, Vice President of Administrative Services, said the report is self-explanatory. He asked if there were any questions. There were none. This item is for information only. Mr. Wyse said the financials seem to be staying on track where they should be. He asked if there were any questions. Mrs. Cheri Beck asked if the college has a TRANs loan right now or is it paid off. Nancy Funk, Comptroller, said the college has a TRANS loan and has not had to draw any of the funds REPORT ON BUDGET TO ACTUALS Mr. Wyse said at this point we should be at about 58%. The right hand column reflects the percentage of budget spent. Some items are higher because bills were paid. He asked if there were any questions. There were none.

8 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD S POLICY COM- MITTEE MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 14, APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING HELD FEBRU- ARY 14, CONSENT/ACTION AGENDA It was moved by Mrs. Judi Beck, seconded by Mrs. Cheri Beck, and carried TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD S POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 14, The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. It was moved by Mr. Harold Lucas, seconded by Mrs. Patricia Hunn, and carried TO APPROVE THE MIN- UTES OF THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 14, The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. Board President Martin Myers recognized Frank Nigro who had requested permission to speak to Item 8.1. Dr. Nigro said the Math Department really has their stuff together and that is due in a large part to Dave Bush. He was a real force on the Academic Senate. Dave Bush took this year off from the Senate to take golf classes. Dr. Nigro said he gets a call from Dave every couple of weeks - Dave keeps him on his toes and he is a voice of wisdom. Dr. Nigro said he is sorry the college is losing him. Mr. Myers recognized Sandy Heisler, who requested permission to speak to Item 8.4. She read the following statement: We have asked the district to pull Item 8.4, # , Senior Staff Secretary and # , Student Services Clerk, from the Board agenda for the following reasons: The administration decided to not fill the Senior Staff Secretary position a couple of years ago. If the administration now feels they need that position and that there is work to be done, then CSEA s position is to have the district re-open the position, hire a substitute for 60 days and fill the position with a permanent employee. If the district needs an extension until the new supervisor for that area is hired and they want that new super-

9 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, CONSENT/ACTION AGENDA (Continued) visor to be part of the selection process, CSEA will take this into consideration and work with the district on this. Without specific dates or a staffing plan, it could take 4-5 months to fill this position with a permanent employee. In regards to the Student Services Clerk, the authorization on the Board agenda did not give specific duties, which is required by Education Code, Section We also have three 19-1/2 hour employees in the Admissions and Records Dept., Assessment and the Career Center. CSEA feels that it is in the best interest of not only these employees, but the district as well, that any extra work be offered to these employees. They are already familiar with the college s procedures. No short term people should be offered this work until our 19-1/2 hour employees get a chance to accept the work. We need to invest in our people. If the administration could give CSEA a heads up on staffing issues, I know that we could assist them and resolve many of these issues without the use of the grievance process. Again, we ask that these items be removed from the agenda. Mr. Lewis stated that there was an error on Page 51, Item 8.6. Thomas Martin s travel will not be funded by $350 from staff development funds. The entire amount of this travel will be at no cost to the district. It was moved by Mrs. Patricia Hunn, seconded by Mrs. Cheri Beck, and carried TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. Mr. Lewis said the Administration has been working with CSEA. He met last week with CSEA, thought they had resolution, then another meeting occurred. They will continue to work with CSEA in the best interest of the District.

Mr. Martin Myers opened the public hearing and asked if there were comments from the audience. There were none. Mr. Myers declared the public hearing closed. Peggy Moore, Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs, stated that student fee can only be charged if the students take something away with them. There was a question earlier about the firefighting courses. There is up to a $95 fee this rate is set by the State of California and that fee goes to the State of California. It does not stay with the college. Robert Wilson, Student Trustee, said the new student fees are not listed. The $1 and the $5 fees that the students voted on last semester are not included. Mr. Lewis said he would ensure that those fees are included in the schedule and catalog. They will be presented to the Board at the May meeting. Mrs. Cheri Beck asked if there is help for the students who have to pay fees for the exam. Peggy Moore said she doubted whether there was. Many of these people may be seasonal employees in CDF. They are promoting their careers. In this profession, they have a ton of courses they take to keep current. Dr. Ortega said sometimes the employer may pay the fees.

13 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, APPROVAL OF REVI- SIONS TO STUDENT FEE SCHEDULE (Continued) 9.8 PROPOSAL FOR ARCHI- TECTURAL AND ENGI- NEERING SERVICES FOR THE WEAVERVILLE EX- TENDED EDUCATION CENTER It was moved by Mrs. Patricia Hunn, seconded by Mrs. Cheri Beck, and carried TO APPROVE THE STUDENT FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. Mr. Wyse, Vice President of Administrative Services, recommended the Board accept the proposal from Lionakis for $83,000. It was moved by Mrs. Judi Beck and seconded by Mrs. Patricia Hunn TO APPROVE THE PROPOSAL FOR ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES WITH LIONAKIS BEAUMONT DESIGN GROUP, INC. FOR THE WEAVERVILLE EXTENDED EDU- CATION CENTER. Mrs. Cheri Beck said on Page 91 of the agenda, it states that Sharrah Dunlap and Sawyer will provide a fee proposal directly to the college. Mr. Tom Orr, Dean of Extended Education, said that was approved last month. Mr. Lewis stated that it was approved at about $9,000. Cheri Beck asked about piggybacking our contract with another college. If there are snowload requirements, do we have to order the same portable as they do because they may not have the same snowloads. Mr. Lewis said no, they are piggybacking on the contract but they wouldn t have to order the same thing. The motion carried. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative. 9.9 AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR FIRE ALARM REPLACE- MENT PROJECT, PHASE 4 Mr. Joe Wyse recommended approval. It was moved by Mrs. Cheri Beck, seconded by Mr. Kendall Pierson, and carried TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO SOLICIT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACTS TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDERS FOR PHASE 4 OF THE FIRE ALARM RE- PLACEMENT PROJECT.

14 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACTS FOR THE DORM RE- MODEL PROJECT Mr. Wyse recommended approval. It was moved by Mrs. Judi Beck and seconded by Mrs. Patricia Hunn TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRA- TION TO SOLICIT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACTS TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDERS FOR THE DORM REMODEL PROJET. Cheri Beck said she supports this. The college has been working on the dorms for a number of years. Her question, she said, was about the short-term financing that will come from the general fund and dorm revenue fund and long-term payback from possible lease revenue bonds. She asked if that has to be approved by the Board or by a vote of the voters. Mr. Lewis said there is a revenue stream from redevelopment funds. Nancy Funk stated that you have to project a revenue stream to pay it back. It is not general obligation bond. The Board decides, not the voters. Ms. Funk said the Administration has identified some interfund borrowing - funds the District already holds. They checked the legality and found that is appropriate. We will need to do a full promissory note and make full restitution. We would only do lease revenue if, at some point in the future we had major projects to do, and then this debt would be folded into it. The motion carried. The Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative FUTURE BOARD MEET- ING DATES Mr. Martin Myers announced the future Board Meeting dates as: March 28, 2007 April 11, 2007 April 25, 2007 May 9, 2007 (If Necessary) (If Necessary)

15 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 14, COMMENTS FROM INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD Mr. Myers thanked everyone for the birthday cards. Mrs. Judi Beck said she was invited to be Principal for a Day at Buckeye Middle School and she will be spending a day with Laura Kelly there. It will be very exciting to meet with faculty there and talk about Shasta College. They are having an assembly and it should be a fun day. Martin Myers said at the last Leadership Redding meeting in March, Dr. Borg gave a presentation about the University Center and did an excellent job. It is a unique group and many of them don t have a broad view of the college. It was neat to hear their ideas and feedback. 12. COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE Mr. Myers asked if there were any comments from the audience. Peggy Moore stated that Gary Lewis was a presenter, with a couple of other Presidents, at the Economic and Workforce Development Conference.

Mr. Lewis said he just spent three days with William Cochran s current boss and we are really looking forward to having him on board. Peggy Moore will still be here for the next Board Meeting. We have been fortunate with the interim administrators such as Peggy Moore. It is nice to see the horizon and see some permanency coming. Vice President Cochran s first Board meeting will be May DATE OF THE NEXT REGULAR BOARD MEETING Mr. Martin Myers announced the date of the next regular Board Meeting as Wednesday, April 11, 2007.
