Absent: Trustee Don Zumwalt, Ed Buckley, Luann Campbell

Guests: Justin Amberin, Parisa Aminian, Nick Caston, Greg Lylte and Misha Montoya

Closed Session: There were no reportable actions taken in closed session

Open Session:

1. Press Box Update: Jay Carpenter indicated that the press box should be delivered and installed sometime within the next two weeks. Staff is ready to bid the remaining elevator work. Though the press box may not be ready for the first game it will be functional during much of the season.

2. Los Guilucos Firing Range HazMat Cleanup Status: Curt indicated that the County and the College will be meeting soon to resolve how to complete the clean up project and whether the County will still want the facility or have the college take it down.

3. Shone Farm Projects: Jay reported that the modular project will be completed and ready for occupancy prior to the start of classes on August 19th. Curt reported that Gallo, the Town of Windsor and the College will be meeting soon to bring closure on reservoir discussions.

4. Library Project Update: Curt reported that the college is on track to provide the working drawings to DSA for review by mid-October. College is still on track for final Public Works Board Approval in May and release of construction funds for July 2003. Curt indicated the state wants to reduce the state equipment budget by 33 1/3% to 50%.

5. Analy Temps Demolition and Program Relocation Planning: Related to the Library construction project, Curt updated the BFC on the need to relocate 16,000 sf of instructional and student program support space currently located in Analy Temps. Curt is working with Ricardo Navarrette and Luann Campbell in devising options as how to best house those large programs (Disability Resources, College Skills, Tutorial Center) which serve thousands of students. At this point in time, Curt anticipates recommending the partial or complete use of Kent Hall, Bech Temporaries, Doyle Student Center and 5,000 sf of rented relocatable structures to house these and other programs. Given the nature of the programs involved, accessibility and proximate location to one another are critical. Thus the location and proximity of Kent Hall and the Bech Temps to one another is seen as favorable by several of the programs affected.

BFC student guests (Parisa Aminian, Justin Amberin, Nick Castin, Greg Lytle and Misha Montoya) spoke in opposition to the utilization of Kent Hall as it would be disruptive to several individual students and their student life activities at the college. Concern was expressed about the potential loss of housing for all students including disabled students.

The college is need of finding accessible and functional space for programs which serve several thousands of students and is weighing the potential impacts on the seventy-two (72) student capacity dormitory. Curt indicated that he and Ricardo would be meeting with the Associated Students on Monday, August 19th. He, Luann and Ricardo hope to have the various options available prior to that date.

6. Baker Remodel Update: This project will be ready to bid in mid-September.

7. Culinary Arts @ The Brickyard Project Update: Curt indicated that he, Jay and Michael Salinger will be meeting with the contractor and architect to ascertain whether the project will be completed in time to allow the second scheduled eight (8) weeks of classes to commence. The contractor believes he will be done by September 30th and Michael needs two weeks to prepare the facility for October 14th classes. Major concerns are the timeliness of major city inspections (fire, health, wastewater) thus allowing the college to achieve its start date.

8. Trustees Pictures and Student Trustee Signage: Jay reviewed Design Concepts proposed Pedroncelli Center trustees picture and student trustees signage systems. BFC agreed with the overall concepts and the systems except for the refinishing of the existing board member pictures. Jay is to bring back other examples of the photograph refinishing work before proceeding.

9. Classified Memorial Project Update: BFC reviewed the status of the construction project and proposed language for a memorial plaque and approved it as presented.

They have completed off-campus capacity counts and general data analysis. Bill Francis of WPA will meet with the BFC on September 3rd.
