Closed Session: No reportable actions were taken in closed session

Open Session:

1. Public Safety Training Center Update: Curt Groninga reported the project is still on target for its original completion date of January 26, 2002. There is a change order being developed ($16,500) for the over-excavation and installation of considerable amounts of concrete to counteract a wet soils issue near the juncture of the transition road from the main site to the drivers track area. Curt also indicated staff is starting to develop move protocols and timelines for the Spring, 2002.

2. Public Safety Training Center: Fire Tower Project Review: BFC held a serious discussion regarding possible installation of a future fire tower. Issues identified included site location, esthetics, smoke, height limitations, liability, neighborhood impacts, acquisition and installation. Without approving the project, Curt received direction to hold the public information EIR amendment meeting where neighbors are invited to comment on the possible location of such a structure as well as environmental and esthetic issues leading to potential mitigations. Curt will also meet with legal counsel to review usage language permitting the College to construct such a facility on its property. Curt will report back to the President and BFC on this matter.

3. Public Safety Training Center: Equipment List Update: Curt indicated the project is closing in on the 50% completion point. At that point, SRJC requests release of the $700,000.00 in State funded equipment. Curt, Norm Cleaver and Ken Fiori met and agreed that $119,000.00 of those funds would cover the inclusion of the telephone switchgear, handsets, telecommunications infrastructure and network nodes as well.

4. Nextel Lease Proposal: BFC reviewed the proposed lease offering by Nextel Communications for placement of telecommunication antennas and equipment at Santa Rosa campus. BFC declined the offer based on a series of negative site implications.

5. Restroom Projects Update: Jay Carpenter reported this project is about to commence. With budget savings, it is anticipated SRJC could complete the Tauzer Weight Room restroom facility as well.

6. Petaluma Minor Remodel Project: Jay reported on the plans to punch a window on the west exterior wall of the Administrative Offices in order to convert a conference room to staff space.
