1. NEW IDEAS, CONCERNS, ISSUES: Ricardo Navarrette/Student Services explained the rationale for 5 Student Services projects he is recommending. The number one priority is renovations needed at the lobby area of the Financial Aid office. The best way to apply for grants and scholarships is now by computer, and this has greatly impacted the lobby area. It was decided that at this point a space planner would be utilized in developing a budget for this project. George Grijalva mentioned the concern for vision impaired and wheelchair accessibility and Ricardo said he intends to accommodate this. Second is to improve functionality of the public reception services counter at Admissions and Records to provide confidentiality and safety for staff front work areas. Third is to provide a modern, inviting and comfortable area in the Bailey Hall Lobby for self-service information and waiting areas for counseling and A&R. Fourth is replacing 4 outside bulletin boards, and a designated study area within the Doyle Center Student Lounge area with a moveable partition. Fifth was the result of an ad hoc committee of four councilors (Donna Reynolds, Audrey Spall, Shonda Findling, Anna Gozzarino) who recommended digital signage be placed outside of Doyle Center to announce services, events and deadlines. Also, eight key places on campus were identified to place directional signs for pathways. Some discussion occurred on this last point about the best way to do the directional signs. Big sandwich boards were mentioned as well as talking signs. Lions club or other services organizations were mentioned as possible sources of money for the talking sign project. Jay mentioned that the source of power for the talking signs would be problematic. It was decided that the projects would be considered and that the next step would be to develop a budget for the projects to see if they would be feasible. Administrative Services agreed to provide the Facilities Project form to get things started.

2. 2000/2001 DFPC MEETING DATES/TIMES: It was decided to keep the current meeting schedule for fall 2000/spring 2001. See agenda for specific dates.

3. CORE PLANNING COMMITTEES UPDATE: This will stay as a standing agenda item. The DFPC needs to stay informed of core planning committees' activities and how those activities affect facilities. i.e., the Educational Master Plan. The intention is to have the co-chairs of these committees (IPC, BAC, DFPC, EPCC, and STEP) give presentations at each other's meetings when needed or appropriate.

4. SANTA ROSA JUNIOR COLLEGE 2000/2001 FACILITIES PLANNING -- A GENERAL OVERVIEW: Curt Groninga gave an overview of the Five-Year Plan. The Learning Resource Center (Library) seems to be the next project in line to be approved by the Board of Governors and if so approved we would begin preliminary drawings in July 2001, Working Drawings July 2002, Construction July 2003 with completion sometime in 2005. This is a 28-month construction project with a $36,000,000. cost.

5. CULINARY ARTS PROGRAM RELOCATION UPDATE: LuAnn Campbell updated the group stating that she is still looking at several sites including a winery and the Showcase restaurant at the Fairgrounds as the new location for the Culinary Cafe. LuAnn wanted to make it clear that we have not committed to anything yet. The plan is to double the program (and the FTES). The program is being restructured (Cal Works program funding) and fall 2001 is the intended timeline. LuAnn will keep the committee updated. The committee agreed to keep it as a standing agenda item.

6. WAREHOUSE UPDATE: Curt Groninga stated that the Public Safety Training Center is a potential site at which to build a warehouse in the future. For now, we are okay until March 2001. Should we loose the lease before we can build a new one, we would determine an interim solution. Finances are preventing us from building at this point.

7. 2000/2001 IDENTIFIED FACILITES PLANNING ISSUES: The plan is to introduce one or two issues per meeting.
