Agenda Items Facilities Master Planning Committee: Andy Ochoa, Erich Holtmann, Van Boschetti, Barbara Austin, Don Kaiper and Phil Gottlieb appointed 12-0-0. Vice Chancellor hiring committees: Ginny Buttermore appointed (14-0-0). Budget Key Goals and Strategies: New revisions including feedback from senates. Strategies greatly expanded. Goal 2, strategy 1: concerns about the use of the survey district-wide rather than more localized areas, good business planning and addressing needs of community. Concerns that individual college needs might be overlooked in a district-wide survey rather than more localized survey areas (i.e. by zip code). Goal 1, Strategy 1: establishing Middle College: CCC has Middle College which serves as a transition program in which high school students take high school courses and college courses at CCC. Middle College students take classes in a localized area at CCC. Ӱɴý previously had a Middle College program that was discontinued due to loss of funding despite transition success. Goal 3: Suggestion: add reward quality employees to goal 3. Goal 4: no steps listed to increase operating budget. Suggestion to rewrite goal 4: realign district budgeting priority to allow for total increased operating budget. The intent of this goal could be to allow DGC to address our budget priorities. Suggestion to include a time line for movement towards accomplishing the goal: 2 years. Suggestion: more specifics for implementation. Goal 5: confusing and vague. Suggestion: clarification. Suggestion: include steps to rectify the adjunct to full-time ratio of faculty. Formula for calculation of adjunct faculty budgeting is underbudgeting actual need. Goal 7: already implemented. Retiree health benefits: district budgeting of $1 million annually to meet financial responsibility from district of current employees. Any adjunct faculty who receive health benefits are included in district employees who receive health benefits. Goal 8: Could include non-credit programs such as Senior enrichment, non-credit ESL programs, etc. Feedback from Budget Goals and Strategies will be presented to Chancellors Cabinet this Thursday 3/8.07. The Facilities Master Planning Committee presented a map including new buildings. Entrances to campus will be reduced to two main entrances instead of the three existing. Changes to the unsignalled entrance to parking lots B and C, including extended turn lane, would need cooperation from both Pittsburg and Antioch. Safety in this intersection is a concern and will be presented to community. Possible change could include a right-turn only exit at the unsignalled entrance. Changes to the perimeter road and parking lots configurations to facilitate better traffic flow were presented. Possible additions for the future were discussed including a possible Performing Arts Center, Student Center, Health Center, Fitness Center, additional cafeteria or dining options. Options presented included combining Student Center and Health Center in one facility or Student Center and Fitness Center combined. Concerns about noise from a future Performing Arts Center disrupting classes. Suggestion for Performing Arts Center at front of college for nice entrance and easier access for community. Suggestion for increased access to lake facilities bike trails are being considered. Concern: large trucks making deliveries are currently unable to turn around and causes safety concerns. Concern that students using lot B often block traffic while dropping off. Suggestion for cafeteria: multiple dining facilities on campus. Traffic near Child Development Center is a great concern. Additional drop off points for safer traffic flow is a clear need. Possible suggestions included new roads and turn-abouts. However, construction of roads is extremely expensive and may not be a realistic possibility at Ӱɴý. Curriculum Discussion: postponed until next meeting to allow for enough discussion time. Faculty Code of Ethics. Professional Conduct Committee envisioned by Peter Garcia. Faculty to faculty conflicts are sticky issues. There is no body to ejudicate facts or deterioration of relationship. Suggesting a Council of Elders, in the sense of wise, respected faculty members that would have the overall interest of Ӱɴý at heart, respectable in the community, to make some recommendation even on a completely confidential basis. Ombuds and/or facilitator training. We might respond better to peers who have understanding of faculty challenges. The focus would be relationships rather than job performance, evaluation, and contractual obligations. Feedback from Senate: individuals might not have communication skills. What if faculty declines involvement with proposed professional conduct committee? What is the enforcement of recommendations by this committee? The intent would be voluntary. Concern: manipulation of committee or committee having an agenda and less open-minded. Peer-mediation might be very messy. Suggestion: professional mediator instead on an on-call basis whether for conflict resolution or to improve skills. The Senate previously reviewed AAUP ethics guidelines. A professional conduct committee may serve as a deterrent to future difficulties. This committee serves as a mechanism to address faculty to faculty conflict. Suggestion: ask counselors and/or human resources to fill this function. Has this Council of Elders been successful at other colleges? Other organizations might use Emeritus faculty. Sense that the Senate is opposed to formal sanctions. As faculty is the largest group on campus, leadership, good advice and good judgment in the issue of faculty to faculty conflict is needed. Peter is encouraging a response from the Senate addressing leadership in the area of faculty to faculty conflict. Remaining agenda items tabled until following meeting. VII.
