1. Public Safety Training Center Update: Curt Groninga reported the project is still on target for its original completion date of January 26, 2002. Currently change orders are at eighty-three hundredths of one percent (.83%) or about $98,000.00. Curt anticipates, by the completion of the project, that change orders may represent one and one-half percent (1.5%) or about $150,000.00. College may realize some credits in near future as well. A discussion was held regarding the dedication date. BFC members felt May 17^th may be too late. It was agreed to consider other possible dates in the Spring, 2002. BFC Board members were to meet to consider possible naming opportunities for PSTC facilities. The dedication plaque, per college policy and past practice, will bear the names of the Board of Trustee members who took action to award the construction contract, the College President and the Architect. Curt is to meet with Sue Nelson (Brelje and Race) and Vic Pozzi to discuss final realignment of property.
2. Parking Lot Update: Curt indicated that final negotiations with Safeway to use the old Yardbird's parking lot are nearing completion. It is anticipated that the College could announce the availability of the Park/Walk lot by the end of this week. Hours of operation probably will be from 7 am to 4 pm Monday through Thursday. Curt noted that competition for property near SRJC is increasing as both City Schools and the County of Sonoma are continually looking for land upon which to expand.
3. Shone Farm Facilities (Richard L. Thomas) Update: Curt and Jay indicated that the project is on schedule for delivery and installation of the relocatable classroom facility in October with completion in time for the commencement of the Spring Semester, 2001.
4. Los Guilucos Firing Range Demolition Project: The BFC reviewed the draft letter to be sent to the County of Sonoma notifying them of the College's intent to demolish the LG Firing Range and remove hazardous material per the terms of the lease. Curt anticipates the demolition work to commence in March 2002. It is funded by California Community College's Hazardous Materials Removal funds.
5. Restroom Projects Update: Jay indicated that the contractors are rushing towards completion of the restroom upgrades. They should be done before the start of the Fall Semester.

6. Press Box Project Update: Jay indicated the architect and vendor are attempting to get a determination as to whether the existing bleachers will require any further upgrade prior to the installation of the press box itself. The earliest installation date for a new press box is well after the conclusion of the 2001 football season.
7. Navy Base: Future Uses: Dr. Agrella led a brief discussion regarding the possible future uses of the College's old navy base property. The City of Santa Rosa and the National Guard have expressed some interest in using the property on a temporary basis. Curt will continue to respond to those parties.
8. Culinary Arts Brickyard Project Update: Curt reported that TLCD a restaurant consultant (Larry Balinger) are working on the design of tenant improvements. TLCD hopes to have preliminary drawings and cost estimates available by September 10^th.
9. Emeritus/Race Pumping Station Project Update: Jay indicated this project would be completed prior to the start of the academic year.
10. Maggini Hall/Haehl Area Water Line Problems: Jay alerted the BFC to deterioration in the water line from Maggini Hall to the Haehl Pavilion. Staff has completed repair work but the situation needs constant monitoring and it could lead to an extensive replacement of portions of the line.
11. Facilities Related August Board Items: The items were reviewed and no further information required.
12. Budget Update: LRC Preliminary Plans, Scheduled Maintenance & Hazardous Materials Projects: Curt confirmed that the Governor vetoed funds for the LRC (Library) preliminary drawings, deleted all 2001/2002 scheduled maintenance funds and eliminated (temporarily) two hazardous materials removal projects. Prospects for receiving any new funds during 2001/2002 are bleak.
13. 2001/2002 High Priority Projects (FRG Lists): Continuing on with the bleak budget outlook, BFC reviewed the highest of the high priority FRG list projects for possible funding ($283,000.00). Ron Root will address these items during final budgetary deliberations. Curt indicated that the College is unable to commence with several necessary rehabilitation projects due to the lack of funds.
