3 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, STUDENT SENATE RE- PORT 6.5 BOARD MEMBER REPORTS Robert Wilson, Student Senate President/Student Trustee, stated that he had no report. He said he has been gone for four weeks and he took full advantage of the time to rest. Mrs. Hunn asked if there were any Board Member reports. There were none. 6.6 SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT President Gary Lewis congratulated the new CSEA officers. He said he looked forward to working with them. Mr. Lewis extended congratulations to the graduates of the RN, LVN, and Fire Academy. Last Thursday, he and Vicki Shipman attended the Economic Forecast Conference. They represented Tehama County. Tehama County is seeing positive growth. Mr. Lewis said he, Joe Wyse, Lucha Ortega, Brian Spillane, Nancy Funk, and Pat Demo attended the ACCCA Budget Workshop. They discussed what we will need to do to qualify for $600 more per FTES. This is such new stuff they don t even have the information or forms on line yet. It will be much easier to determine in advance how much funding we will get per FTES. Mr. Lewis thanked Jim Taylor, Owen Smith, and Kevin Kratzer for the work on the Theatre. The Theatre is turning out really well, with new carpeting, new seats, new flooring, and refurbished walls. Many things still need to be done and funding opportunities need to be explored. President Lewis congratulated Frank Nigro, who was chosen as the Area A recipient for the Hayward Award to honor community college faculty members who are selected by their peers for demonstrating the highest level of commitment to their students, college, and profession. Award recipients, nominated by their college academic senate and selected by representatives of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, must have a record of outstanding performance of professional activi-

4 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT ties, as well as a record of active participation on campus. Mr. Lewis led everyone in a round of applause for Dr. Nigro. Mr. Lewis said at this time, Scott Thompson, Executive Director of the Shasta College Foundation, would give his quarterly Foundation report. Mr. Thompson gave his report, as follows: Since my last report to the Trustees on October 11, the Foundation continues to embark on new and exciting ventures. The Food and Wine Gala Fundraising Dinner 2007 will be Saturday, May 12, 2007 (Shasta House). The Foundation has been working hard these past few months organizing the upcoming Food and Wine Gala fundraising dinner. As of today, we have completely sold out our corporate sponsored tables (17 tables at $2,000 a table), and have limited seating available for individual guests (at $125 a seat). We have brought in $16,500 and when all tables have been paid in full, we will have collected just under $37,000 in ticket sales only. This doesn t count monies that will be brought in on the day of the event with our silent and live auctions. Last year s dinner was a sell out and grossed around $20,000. Our next challenge is securing auction items and our Foundation Board members are responding to this with enthusiasm and creativity. Our objective is to raise funds for the technology needed in the Health Sciences and University Center building downtown. Jan Dinkel has arranged for myself and Gary Lewis to give the SRMC Board of Directors a presentation at their next board meeting on February 13. This will be a very important meeting in that this is our first opportunity to officially ask for the hospital s support and fund-

5 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT ing for our Health Sciences and University Center building downtown. They have told us unofficially that they are in complete support but at this meeting, we are going to ask for a monetary commitment. We will also be deepening the partnership between SRMC and Shasta College. This will be the kick-off for fundraising for the Health Sciences and University Center. Mercy Hospital will not be far behind as well as the entire medical community. At our Foundation Board meeting in November, I had the pleasure of introducing Maureen Laughy, our firstever student Foundation Board member. Maureen came highly recommended to me by instructor Dr. Frank Nigro. I have wanted a student on our board for quite some time and feel this will be a good community service opportunity for Maureen. I also feel it will be good to have a student voice on our board. On December 8, KRCR Channel 7 news was on campus to interview Maureen. Maureen will be transferring to UC Davis in the fall. Last month I gave the annual Ivy B. Horr report, and was charged by the Board of Trustees with moving forward with a revisioning plan of the Ivy B. Horr Trust. Gary and I have been working on this and it now sits in the hands of the Foundation s attorney, Justin Arel for review, with four options to be considered: 1. Turn the trust over to someone else. 2. Make a case that Shasta College should use the money in the trust for our Health Sciences Center and that would be compatible with Ivy B. Horr s intent. 3. Turn the trust monies into straight scholarships rather than loans which might have to be divided amongst the three community colleges within the areas of the trust. 4. Continue administering the trust but charge the

6 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT trust for our services to the full extent of our expenses. In a recent phone call, Rayola Pratt suggested that we begin tracking the costs of administering this trust for our annual audit which would help strengthen our case. In February, we will begin our Spring 2007 voluntary Payroll Deduction Staff Drive. This vital program is entering its fourth year. We will be distributing flyers to faculty, adjunct faculty, staff, administration, Foundation Board members and Trustees for our upcoming spring drive. This program continues to grow, bringing in over $10,000 a year which enables the Foundation to support more inspiring campus events each year.

Foundation Board members really stepped up, bringing guests to the college such as Gary Hayward, Martin Myers and the executive staff from Win-River; Rick Barnett, CEO of Mercy Hospital; and Mike Mayer from the Redding

7 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT Bank of Commerce. These lunches have been a successful community connection endeavor and we are ready to start it back up as soon as The Bistro reopens. This year the Foundation has sponsored a table at the upcoming State of the City Luncheon taking place on Monday, January 29, at 11:30 a.m. at the Redding Convention Center. I feel it s very important for Shasta College to be represented in our community at such events. In June, Mercy Hospital committed $50,000 toward the support of our nursing students. Peggy Moore and myself are currently working to get this scholarship program finalized and the money disbursed. This month we put the final touches on a private charitable remainder trust which will one day benefit Shasta College. While the Rolland Robinson Trust is not finalized, Robbie wanted me to report that everything is moving forward and that because of the complicated nature of the trust, it has been frustratingly slow. Robbie has given his attorney instructions to finalize this important document as soon as possible. I continue to work with James Finck, Executive Director of the Shasta Family YMCA on the beginning of an aquatic center for Whiskeytown Lake. At this point, we are doing a community survey to determine interest and the focus of our fundraising for this project. The Foundation Board is currently gearing up in support of the Athletic Department s Celebrity Dinner Auction taking place on Thursday, March 22. We feel it s very important that this fundraiser and the Food & Wine Gala are both successful and our energies will be put toward that end.

8 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT Mrs. Patricia Hunn asked if there were any questions. There were none. She thanked Mr. Thompson for a very good report. Mr. Lewis introduced Catherine Jackson, Director of Planning and Research, who would be giving the Informative Report on Accountability Reporting for Community Colleges AB Ms. Jackson explained her presentation outline: What is the ARCC?

11 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT Ms. Jackson reviewed several charts of student data. Kendall Pierson said Ms. Jackson mentioned some variation on how criteria are measured. If not all reporting is done the same way, it doesn t compare. He asked if that is a challenge. Ms. Jackson said she has not had anyone comment on the incompatibility. Most measures are clear and comparable across the college. Gary Lewis said an example is that he has three sons who went through Shasta College and none have an AA degree because they transferred on. Ms. Jackson said Datatel will have degree audit. They can tell a student that he/she has earned an AA degree and recommend they apply for it. Mr. Lucas questioned why students have to ask for their AA. He asked why we don t just give it to them. Mr. Lewis said that might be something that is an outcome of this. The idea of accountability is we have to have means to measure our success such as degrees and certificates earned or completion rates with a level of competency. This is tied into student learning outcomes, and they are holding the college accountable. Peggy Moore, Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs, said we need to sell the value of the AA degree - it is a milestone and we need to tout this. Gary Lewis thanked Catherine Jackson for all her work. She is a valuable asset. 6.7 REPORT ON CON- STRUCTION PROJECTS Mr. Chuck Ely, Interim Vice President of Administrative Services, said they are waiting for the Governor to sign the budget so they can begin the work on the Library Annex. The design work was approved already. The new carpet was completed today in the Theatre. They completed reinforcement of the girders and connecting plates for the catwalk and ledger beams, so they are ready to do the rigging. They need to look at the work that is left to do. Shalleck will do some of the work but we must go through an architect. We need to know the amount needed. We have $150,000 left in the fund and we are estimating $400,000-$450,000 to complete the project as designed.

12 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, REPORT ON CON- STRUCTION PROJECTS The Health Sciences & University Center is almost 50% complete. They are putting the sheetrock up and then the wire mesh, scratch coat, and stucco. Interior stud work on the walls is done. They are testing the HVAC supply. Things are moving along really well. We are on schedule. There was a design problem. When the plan was submitted for the dome, the requirement came back 60 lb. snow load with a 200 man-weight per sq. ft. That is causing some problems and might cause some delay. We have the easement agreement signed on the Weaverville site. They opened escrow on December 21. The target date for closing is January 31. The sale is subject to approval of the State Parks and Recreation Board but they already had a consensus. The parking lots are designed by the Trinity Players but approved by the Board here. August 30 is the completion date for the parking lot. The cost of the parking lots will be borne by the Trinity Players, to include the lights, utilities, and paving. They are also responsible for maintenance of the parking lot forever. We will each have our own costs. It will cost $168,000 for the grading project and drainage and our part will be about $40,000 but it is not firm yet. We will purchase portables and work with Lionakis to design and engineer the project. We will own the land, have an easement and that will cost the District $135,000. Mr. Ely said they have been working with the architect on the Tehama College Center. He asked Mr. Lucas and Mrs. Pratt if they wanted to report. They just had a meeting on sketches and designs. Mr. Lucas said it is firming up; they are working on the issue of classrooms, counseling centers, student involvement, and bathrooms. Everything was well addressed. The architects will have a pretty firm recommendation and it will come to the Board for consideration and adoption. Rayola Pratt said John Lutkemeier and Tom Orr s input was really good. The architect brought in sketches. We have a fine architect and it is good to have the people who know what is needed to be in the meeting. The architects

13 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, REPORT ON CON- STRUCTION PROJECTS are very innovative. There is a triangular shaped room so the camera could see the students. Mr. Lucas said the architect said we are slightly under budget. Mrs. Hunn asked if there were any questions. Mrs. Judi Beck asked if the parking for the Health Sciences and University Center is ironed out. Mr. Lewis said he attended a meeting of the downtown collaboration group today. Last night, the City Council approved the ad hoc parking committee resolution that there is enough parking downtown. They did an overlay in downtown Redding. There are more parking spots in downtown than at the Mt. Shasta Mall. You don t see the parking spots because of the buildings. One of the things that downtown merchants do not want is parking meters. We probably don t want gates because that would require permits or pay. We are left with a situation where our parking will probably not be designated because we don t have a way to enforce it. Right now there appears to be plenty of parking. There will be a committee for long-term planning for parking downtown and there is potential for an assessment district for parking lots. We would be hit up to pay an assessment on parking. Out here we pay for parking. We should be able to come up with a revenue stream to pay for that assessment. The City of Redding and people downtown are so thankful that we are putting that building up. Property values are increasing. Mrs. Pratt said interest is high. Gary Lewis said he hopes the same thing will happen in Tehama County and in Weaverville enthusiasm and interest. Mr. Kendall Pierson asked what the completion date of the Health Sciences and University Center would be. Mr. Ely said July Mr. Pierson said it would be wise to have press releases on how things will work and get it out in the community; we should provide information. Gary Lewis said it could tie into our ribbon cutting ceremony. We are going to try to get the Governor to attend the ribbon cutting. We want to make this a big deal and at the same time ask for support for completion of the building.

14 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 17, REPORT ON CON- STRUCTION PROJECTS Judi Beck asked if we are protecting some of the little businesses. They want a few parking spaces designated for their customers. We need to make sure and protect some of those small businesses. Gary Lewis said Gary Engell of Crown Camera said he wants those parking meters. The enforcement of this will have to take place. An article in the paper a few months ago reported that several people said they don t understand a problem with parking; from a business standpoint that is a positive thing Kendall Pierson stated that we are doing the right thing and it is a catalyst for many good things. 6.8 REPORT ON GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND EXPENDITURES 6.9 REPORT ON DISTRICT FINANCIALS 6.10 REPORT ON BUDGET TO ACTUALS 6.11 REPORT FROM SHASTA COLLEGE FOUNDATION 7.1 APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD S AUDIT SUB- COMMITTEE MEETING HELD DECEMBER 13, APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING HELD DE- CEMBER 13, 2006 Mr. Ely said this is an informative report.
