Governance Council Minutes May 9, 2014 <\/strong><\/p>\n Members Present: Kanoe Bandy, Eric B\u00e9rub\u00e9, Sheri Black, Darcy Bogle, Sharyn Eveland, Bruce Ferguson, Victoria Jacobi, Dr. Dena Maloney, Brock McMurray, Velda Pena, Laura Riss, Sonja Swenson, Tony Thompson, Mark Williams and Brandy Young.<\/p>\n Guests Present: Celia Rangel, Anges J. Eguaras and Sam Aunai<\/p>\n Facilitator: Velda Pe\u00f1a Recorder: Kanoe Bandy Timekeeper: Sheri Black Minutes: Debbie Hegeman<\/p>\n <\/p>\n APPROVAL OF MINUTES <\/strong><\/p>\n The minutes of the meeting held April 11, 2014 were approved by consensus.<\/p>\n NEW POSITION <\/u><\/strong>(Sam Aunai\/Agnes J. Eguaras) <\/em><\/p>\n Information was distributed regarding the new proposed STEM Program Coordinator-Counselor position<\/p>\n (copy attached to official minutes and updated on-line)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n COMMITTEE REPORTS <\/strong><\/p>\n Eric reported the committee has not met since our last GC meeting although they are continuing to work on the Integrated Plan Model for the Educational Master Plan.<\/p>\n Brock reported there is nothing new to report at this time \u2013 waiting on the May revise. So far it doesn\u2019t appear there will be a lot of significant changes from the original budget proposal. There are some new funds coming out statewide with strong projections for next year. There may be some one-time funds which may be rolled over to next year. This is contingent upon the information that comes out on the May revise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dr. Maloney thanked Darcy for the work and accomplishments of the committee. She believes that it\u2019s very good that we have this committee which can report back to the GC and the campus. Dr. Maloney asked that we discuss renewing the MOU with the Police Department.<\/p>\n Brock expressed the complexity of the safety issues on college campus. By having the officer on campus there is a connection with all of the other schools and the police department which minimizes risk on our campus.<\/p>\n Q: Has there been any complaints and\/or assessment to see if hiring the police officer served the purpose it was intended for.<\/p>\n Dr. Maloney added we need to consider all groups on our campus, ex: children at the child care center, students with developmental disabilities, dorm students, etc. We are surrounded by all schools which have one entrance to their campus. We are open access and what we do may affect those schools around us. She strongly believes this is extremely necessary and believes we must do everything in our power to prevent and coordinate efforts.<\/p>\n Tony suggested the Governance Council faculty members go back to the Senate before we make a recommendation. However, the GC determined it should ask for a vote now. The members felt the divisions were well represented by the Division Chairs on the GC who are also members of Academic Senate and should be able to vote on their behalf.<\/p>\n It was recommended having the police officer on campus was a short term goal accomplishment and the committee should begin long term goals, such as disaster planning.<\/p>\n Student perspective: Felt very good about having an officer on campus and that he brings forward other areas of interest such as Alcohol Awareness.<\/p>\n Consensus: The GC was unanimous in agreeing to extend the contract with the City of Taft for a police officer on campus. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n FACILITIES <\/u><\/strong>(Brock McMurray) <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n TUTORING & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SPACE <\/u><\/strong>(Mark Williams) <\/em><\/p>\n Mark distributed a diagram of the Library redesign proposal. This will address the following issues:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Q: Is the large meeting room going to be duplicated in the new Student Center? The answer to this is<\/p>\n yes. The Student Center can house about 200 with large big screens and TV\u2019s.<\/p>\n Concern is the acoustics and the cost of new furniture for maybe 3 more faculty meetings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n EDUCATIONAL MASTER PLAN REVIEW <\/u><\/strong>(Dr. Dena Maloney) <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n UPDATE OF GOVERNANCE COUNCIL CHARTER <\/u><\/strong>(Tony Thompson) <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n DEBRIEF OF GOVERNANCE COUNCIL RETREAT <\/u><\/strong>(Dr. Dena Maloney and Tony Thompson) <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next Meeting: TBA Facilitator: Laura Riss Time Keeper: Brandy Young Recorder: Mark Williams<\/p>\n Minutes submitted by: Debbie Hegeman<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2014.05.09-Campus-Safety-Report<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.05.09-GC-Charter<\/a> 2014.05.09-GC-Questionnaire-results<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.05.09-New-Grant-Proposed-Position<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.05.09-Proposal-for-Library-Layout-Revision<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.05.09-Retreat-notes-summarized<\/a><\/p>\n\n
