The chambers of commerce of Ceres, Modesto, Oakdale, Riverbank, and Turlock, the Stanislaus County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Stanislaus County Economic Development Corporation have joined with Modesto Junior College, CSU Stanislaus, and UC Merced to create the “Chamber University.”  Together they will offer education and training customized for chamber members.  The new concept was formally introduced to the public at a major event on May 24, at the S.O.S. Club.  This is another example of our colleges responding to the needs of our communities in an interactive way.

D.   DISCUSSION ITEMS

 

1.   Educational Excellence at MJC

 

For the past six years Dr. María Sheehan, MJC President, has led the college in its pursuit of educational excellence.  Their challenges and accomplishments have been numerous.  On the eve of her departure, she will share with trustees and colleagues highlights of her tenure as MJC’s academic leader.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees review the report, commend Dr. Sheehan for her accomplishments, and wish her well in her new position as President/Superintendent of the College of the Desert in Palm Desert.

 

2.   Tentative 2001-2002 Update to the Educational Master Plan

 

Over the past year staff throughout the district have participated in the development of an update to the Educational Master Plan.  The Plan reflects priorities and objectives which will guide our decision-making during this time period.  Ms. Diana Sunday, Director of Research and Planning, and members of the Chancellor’s Cabinet will present the special priorities of each college and Central Services.  A complete update will be brought to the Board of Trustees for review in August and approval in September.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

                                          That the Board of Trustees receive the report.

 

3.   q2001-2002 Tentative Budget

 

State law requires that the Board of Trustees adopt a Tentative Budget and file it with the County Superintendent of Schools by July 1.  Adoption of the Final Budget will occur at the Board's regular meeting on September 4, 2001, thus providing the Board and staff three months in which to further review the Tentative Budget and modify it when final adjustments to the 2000-01 state budget are adopted. 

 

This Tentative Budget anticipates 4 percent growth and a 3.91 percent cost of living adjustment (COLA).  The COLA is set aside in a contingency account.  Both growth and COLA await final legislative action.  The COLA may decrease modestly when the final state budget is adopted and unfortunately does not include a COLA on the Partnership for Excellence funds.  The apportionment revenue budget has been adjusted for 4 percent growth and the expenditure budgets have been adjusted to cover the cost of growing 4 percent.  An augmentation of $500,000 for increased energy costs is included in the Tentative Budget.  New faculty and staff positions, health benefit increases, and other operational costs also are included in the Tentative Budget.

 

Staff have updated the current year budget to include adjustments to revenue that occurred after the September 2001 final budget.  Adjustments have been made to apportionment, prior year apportionment, and Partnership for Excellence.  The June amended budget represents our best estimates for the remainder of the current fiscal year.  We expect modifications to the Tentative Budget following the adoption of the state budget.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees:

 

a.   Amend the 2000-2001 budget as presented (Column 3).

 

b.      Adopt the 2001-2002 Tentative Budget (Column 4) for the Yosemite Community College District and direct staff to file it with the Stanislaus County Superintendent of Schools by July 1, 2001.

 

4.     q Resolution Authorizing End-of-Year Transfers

 

California Code of Regulations, Section 58199, provides that the District may, with the consent of the governing board, make transfers as are necessary to permit the payment of the District's obligations incurred during such school year.  Transfers may involve modest General Fund and Special Project expenditure adjustments for 2000-2001.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees adopt Resolution No. 00-01/08 authorizing the transfer of appropriations necessary to balance expenditure classifications of the Yosemite Community College District budget for the 2000-2001 fiscal year.

 

5.     q Establishment of 2001-2002 Appropriations Limit

 

Section 7910 of the Government Code provides that ". . . each year the governing body . . . shall, by resolution, establish its appropriations limit for the following year . . ."  The law further requires that the information relative to the action be available to the public fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting at which the determination of the appropriations limit is made.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees:

 

a.      Accept the report regarding the establishment of the 2001-2002 appropriations limit;

 

b.      Direct that the computation be publicly posted; and,

 

c.      Declare its intent to adopt the report at the next regular meeting of the Board of Trustees on July 3, 2001.

 

6.     q Proposed Revision of Policy #1000 (Use of College Facilities) - Second Reading

 

Legislation passed in 1998 made it possible for alcohol to be served on community college campuses under very limited conditions, if the Board of Trustees has adopted appropriate policy.  Both college foundations and both college presidents have requested that YCCD Policy #1000 be modified to include some changes.  The proposed new policy is attached and would allow serving wine at foundation fund-raisers with prior approval from the college president and district chancellor.  This proposal has been distributed to the leadership of constituent organizations and their 45-day response period is not yet concluded.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees conduct a second reading of the proposed revised Policy #1000.

 

7.      q Proposed Revision to Policies 4007 and 5017 (Smoking) - First Reading

 

In 1988 the Yosemite Community College District adopted a policy prohibiting smoking in all buildings except in designated areas.  Since that time state law and district practice have evolved to the prohibition of smoking in all facilities and vehicles.  In the past several years there has been increasing concern about second-hand smoke and smoking litter adjacent to buildings where staff and students must walk.  Recently the YCCD Wellness Committee and the college councils, have discussed and proposed a modification to policies 4007 and 5017.  The proposed new policies are attached and the changes include prohibiting any smoking within 20 feet of an entrance to a building.  This is the first reading and the proposal will be sent to constituent leaders for their formal review and comment.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees conduct a first reading of the proposed revised Board Policies 4007 and 5017 (Smoking).

 

8.           q CSEA, Chapter 420, Proposal to YCCD - Public Hearing

 

CSEA, Chapter 420, previously presented its initial negotiations proposal for the period beginning July 1, 2001 to YCCD.  Consistent with applicable code sections and district policy, it is necessary for the Board of Trustees to conduct a public hearing on the proposal.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees conduct a public hearing regarding the CSEA, Chapter 420, bargaining proposal to YCCD.

 

9.           YCCD bargaining Proposal to YFA

 

On April 10, 2001, YFA presented a bargaining proposal to the District.  A public hearing on the proposal was conducted on May 1, 2001.  The next steps in the process are the presentation of the District’s proposal to YFA and the scheduling of a public hearing.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees approve the following proposal to YFA and schedule a public hearing on July 3, 2001.  As indicated, the proposal provides for renewal of the existing agreement for a new 3-year term (July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2004) with the following improvements:

e.         Term: This agreement shall continue in effect to and including June 30, 2004 and from day to day thereafter until the parties reach agreement on a successor agreement.

 

f.           Renegotiation: For the 2003-2004 academic year, either party may reopen negotiations on salary and/or fringe benefits.

 

g.         Side Letter 5 (Evaluation of Faculty Supervisors) and Side Letter 6 (Evaluation of Educational Administrators): The District proposes to remove faculty supervisor and educational administrator evaluation procedures from the agreement with YFA.   Procedures for the evaluation of faculty supervisors and educational administrators shall be included in the Leadership Team Handbook and will include an opportunity for faculty to participate in the evaluation process of their immediate supervisor and/or their educational administrator.
