Closed Session: No reportable actions were taken during closed session.

Open Session:

1. Public Safety Training Center Update: Curt reported the cost for the roof color change came in somewhat less than had originally been anticipated ($8500.00) He provided an update on the status of the annexation of SRJC property to the Town of Windsor and that it should be completed by mid-Summer. He further indicated that the project was still on schedule and staff is pleased with the contractor's progress to date. It appears the College will obtain 6,600 sf of additional property in exchange for a new fence for the property owner adjacent to SRJC property at the north and west sides of the property.

2. Shone Farm Fatal Flaw Analysis: BFC approved the concept of starting the Reservoir Fatal Flaw Analysis and having the SRJC portion funded through use of funds from the Shone Farm Reserve Account. The College will be reimbursed, by the Town of Windsor, for all expenses for the Fatal Flaw Analysis within thirty days of the completion of the report.

3. Shone Farm Classroom/Laboratory Building: Steve Olson updated the BFC as to the status of the project scope and relationship to fund raising activities.

4. Shone Farm Road Improvement Project: Steve provided a review of the Shone Farm access road improvement project which BFC concurred on funding from the Shone Farm Reserve account. .

5. Jewelry Lab and Digital Arts Lab Updates: Curt reviewed his discussions with City Schools and it appears they are still on track to develop a portion of Santa Rosa High Schools facilities into a new jewelry lab in which SRJC's program may reside. Curt is to get an update from City Schools as to the overall status.

6. Bailey Field Pressbox Project: Keith Simons reviewed plans for the proposed new Bailey Field press box. BFC concurred with the concept and understands the project may proceed once sufficient funds are received via fundraising activities. Curt and Jay will work with the architect to review possible DSA requirements.

7. Energy Issues Update: Jay Carpenter outlined the recent ($63,000.00) energy conservation grant proposal he submitted to the Chancellor's Office. The proposed conservation project would provide motion detection sensors for three facilities for over 131 offices and several classrooms and laboratories. The purpose is to automatically, on a timed basis, turn off overhead lighting thus saving electrical energy as well as reducing load on air conditioning systems during the summer months.

8. Mandated External Testing of ALL Fire Alarms and Sprinkler Systems: Jay reported the need to comply with national fire safety code requirements to have all fire alarm testing done by outside contractors. This will be a significant operational cost factor where, previously, college staff provided the testing of fire alarms and sprinklers.

9. Bech Relocatable Space Conversions: Jay and Curt outlined the possible use of the vacant Bech Relocatable space (former child development and later nursing skills laboratory) for conversion into an Anthropology laboratory and administrative office space. Curt and Jay are to pursue this project further.

10. Baker Hall Planning Update: Curt provided an update on the progress of planning the Baker Hall Remodel project.

11. CalTrans Response on Highway 101/Armory Drive Improvements: Curt reviewed the CalTrans letter indicating the impact of Highway 101 improvements on SRJC and the inability to fund the proposed pedestrian overpass.
