OPEN SESSION: The open session commenced at 2:00 p.m.

1. 1998-99 Capital Outlay Budget Plan: Curt led a brief review of the first rough draft of the 1998-99 Capital Outlay Budget plan. The plan, in its rough form attempts to cover all known high priority new projects, schedule maintenance and current projects that will roll over into 1998-99. Curt noted that to all projects listed would require an additional 3 million+ in local funds if we were do to them all. Curt further noted that he and other staff would be working to refine the budget.

As part of the budget discussion, Curt indicated that he had just received word that the

State did not fund Emeritus Phase II Upgrade as a scheduled maintenance project. It was BFC’s decision to fund the project as the first call on any available 1998-99 local funds.

2. Athletic Facilities Access: A discussion was initiated by Trustee Call regarding the improvement of outside groups access to the use of SRJC athletic facilities. It was decided that Ben Partee would compile a list of major sporting events where no rental fee would be charged and only operational support costs would be. Typically, these events would be of a major championship or league playoff nature where two or more participating schools or groups would be involved. Ben is to work with the NBL and SCL coaches to determine the annual dates of these events in order to provide an early scheduling service. This information and suggested fee waiver criteria for these events will be brought back to the BFC.

 

3. Hazardous Substance Program Update: Jay Carpenter provided a brief update on the status of the 1996-97 Hazardous Materials Abatement Program. Staff is recommending and the BFC concurs that excess State funds be directed towards projects such as the Quinn Chlorine Fume Ventilation System and others, which may qualify for funding.
4. Button Building Phase II Update: Jay provided the architect’s first estimate of construction costs (including a lift or elevator to the 2nd floor). The discussion centered on the $200,000 level, which includes an exterior lift. Curt and Jay are to get a design cost proposal from the architect.
5. William B. Race Health Sciences Building Update: Construction should start on Wednesday, May 6th. Curt reviewed the Board item related to the acceptance of three additive alternates, which will be funded from the existing project contingency budget.
6. Criminal Justice Training Center Project Update: Curt and Robert updated the BFC on this project’s status. Funding for the preliminary and working drawings has cleared the Legislature and will be in the Governor’s budget. The College is unaware of any opposition to the Governor’s signing the budget and it is anticipated that the College will receive permission to commence the drawing phase late this summer.
7. Proposed Bike Lanes on Elliott Avenue: Jay was directed to respond to the City Engineer’s letter on this matter and indicate the College could not afford (for safety’s sake) to give up the left turn lanes and it is willing to, with the City, explore other alternatives.
8. Facilities Related Items on the May 12th Board Agenda: BFC had no further questions related to the Board items.
9. Summer/Fall BFC Meeting Dates: The BFC agreed to the schedule as presented, which keeps the meeting dates and times in tact. It did indicate it wishes to schedule the August BFC meeting at the Shone Farm complex in order to review the status of the Horticulture Project
10. Adjournment: There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4 p.m.
