1. PLANNING COMMITTEE COORDINATION: BAC: No report EPCC: No report DFPC: No report StEP: Discussing how to proceed with the enrollment management plan and decided to wait until constituent groups review process. Senate: Greg Granderson reported the Senate passed a resolution supporting AFA’s review of salary issues and the Senate to review ESL teaching loads. Senate favors equal workload for short courses.

2. ACCREDITATION RESPONSE UPDATE: The College has received no new information in relation to the accreditation report.

3. 2002-2003 & 2003-2004 BUDGET UPDATE: Dr. Agrella provided a brief overview of information the College has received regarding the Governor’s proposed $10 billion state government budget reductions. The reality is that the College has very little definitive information thus far. Our best guess right now is $1.5 million to $5.0 million in 2002-2003 reductions which would need to occur during the balance of this fiscal year. As the component administrators gain more information they will begin to run budget reduction scenarios. Ron Root will be communicating soon with the college community to layout what options the college may need to consider.

4. SPACE PLANNING AND PARKING ANALYSIS UPDATE: Curt Groninga provided an overview as to the progress of the planning consultants and identified a number of planning issues requiring further work. Key to completing the space planning analysis is the development of collaborative planning efforts with City Schools. Both the College and City Schools have mutual interests in resolving issues revolving around the location of classroom space, parking structures and tennis courts. The College is extending the consultant’s services in order to develop some collaborative planning agreements between the two entities. Curt indicated that both consultant’s believe that parking structures are needed at the front of the campus (Bailey Lot) and in the back of the campus as well. Internal circulation through the campus is also a major issue. He reviewed some of the Library construction planning logic as it relates to fencing off the area around the construction site and abutting both Analy and Bussman Halls. He reviewed the construction area circulation plans and staging areas as well.

5. MEASURE A PROJECTS UPDATE: Curt provided a copy of the Measure A General Obligation Expenditures Report as of December 6, 2002. The report outlines capital outlay expenditures by bond project categories. Robert indicated that the report and other information will be placed on a Proposition 39 web site as part of the College’s web page.
