Budget and Measure C Update Shirley Barker addressed the Senate to discuss how the state budget problems are affecting the FHDA District. We are not as badly affected as other districts because of the one-time money held in reserve. The shortfall from a decrease in statewide county tax bases amounts to $2.5 million for the District. We are able to cover this shortfall through the one-time funds. Although we did not have as much growth in 06-07, we did manage to recover our base funding. Negotiations agreed to a 1% raise if we grow 2%. While well have some growth, we probably wont reach the 2%, (the current projection is 1.95%), so the raise will probably be slightly less than 1%. The plan for next year is to take a conservative spending approach while still promoting growth. The college is finalizing the schedule for Measure C improvements which include HVAC, roof repairs, and some electrical work. The year delay due to the lawsuit has increased the cost of the projects. While we have more projects than available funding, the top priority is improving classrooms. APM/CAC Update The CAC meeting included a budget update. Educational Technology Advisory Committee (ETAC) announced the following: The latest hardware and software standards are posted on the ETS website The District is beta testing a new spam filter An information security policy is being discussed, specifically who and what to protect, who is responsible, and procedures in the event of a security breach. A draft of this policy will be forwarded to constituents before approval. Plans are being made to streamline the email system The District is redesigning our digital network. Mike Murphy is the faculty representative on this committee. District Senate President M/S to approve Dolores Davison as District Senate President for 2008-09. Vote unanimous, motion passed. Opening Day Speakers Information in possible speakers for Opening Day was passed out to senators. The Chancellors Advisory Committee (CAC) seeks feedback from faculty on these speakers. Attendance at Commencement Judy Miner asked Carolyn to solicit comments from faculty regarding attendance at commencement. The following are suggestions made by various senators, which might improve attendance: Transfer students should be recognized so more faculty would know graduates Acknowledge former 17Թ students who are graduating from four-year institutions Each graduate formally invites two faculty to attend (Judy Miner) Discuss the date and timing of the event earlier in the day, or earlier in the week, might be more attractive Make attendance at commencement part of negotiations Provide more PR on why its a meaningful event Get a group of colleagues to go together Senators should discuss this topic with colleagues and send feedback to Carolyn. The list of commencement speaker nominations was presented for approval. M/S to approve list with the amendment that non-tenured faculty be removed. Vote unanimous, motion passed. GE Pattern Update Carolyn reminded the Senate that the College Curriculum Committee (CCC) is rewriting the General Education Handbook. Senators should remind constituents that this is occurring, and solicit their feedback on the current drafts. The CCC develops the final document of GE criteria and sends it to the Academic Senate for approval. It is anticipated that the Senate will receive the new handbook for a first reading on June 2, and that the second reading/voting will be at our June 16 meeting. Senators should stress to colleagues that now is the time to review the drafts and offer feedback. Carolyn will compile the current drafts and send them to senators to share with colleagues. Carolyn Holcroft-Burns adjourned the meeting at 4:04 pm. Submitted by Tess Hansen (May 7, 2008) +>6F$2G H t u v D_,Sn!4 hsy0JjhsyUjhsyUhsy hsy5>* hsy5*+>56F#$23- . h^h & F4 - . ?
