RECOMMENDATION:       That the Board of Trustees reject the claim filed by Malcolm Gross on behalf of Stephen Carroll and refer the claim to the District’s claims administrator and legal counsel.

 

 

D.   DISCUSSION ITEMS

 

1.         Summer 2002 Calendar

 

Last year the Board approved the 2002 summer session to begin on May 20, 2002, and end on July 25, 2002.  The colleges have requested a change in the start and end dates.

 

Both colleges prefer to begin the summer session one week later, May 28, 2002, and end the 10-week session on August 1, 2002.  The 10-week summer schedule will accommodate two five-week summer sessions as well as shorter term classes. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees approve the change in the dates for summer session 2002 to May 28 through August 1.

 

2.      q 2002-2003 Academic Calendar

 

After three years of study and review and extensive campus deliberations, consensus has been reached on a compressed calendar for the fall and spring terms (comprised of 16 weeks) and a full summer term (comprised of 15 weeks).  This change will maximize the use of the colleges’ facilities, allow more growth without additional expensive new buildings, and enable students to complete their program studies sooner if they choose to do so.

 

The YFA agreed to the new calendar in the recently negotiated agreement.  The calendar issues presented by CSEA, Chapter 420, also have been addressed.

 

The attached calendar has been through many revisions in an effort to satisfy various concerns of staff and the State Chancellor’s Office.  Following Board approval, it will be submitted to the State Chancellor’s Office for formal approval.  Locally, efforts are well underway to plan for implementation.

 

RECOMMENDATION:           That the Board of Trustees approve the 2002–2003 Columbia and Modesto Junior Colleges academic calendars.

 

3.       CSEA, Chapter 420, Collective Bargaining Agreement

  

On October 5, 2001, representatives of CSEA, Chapter 420, and the District reached a tentative negotiated agreement for the period July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2004.  Highlights of the agreement include:

 

·       A 3.6% salary schedule increase retroactive to July 1, 2001.  For 2002-03, a salary schedule increase equivalent to the received state COLA.

 

·       Full implementation of the classification study and salary survey effective January 1, 2002.  The study will bring classified salaries to or above the median for our labor market.

 

·       The District agrees to continue to provide District-paid benefits during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 academic years.

 

·      The agreement also provides for improvements in the District’s fringe benefit program including an increase in District-paid life insurance and improved dental benefits.

 

The agreement was forwarded previously to the Board of Trustees.  Copies are available from the Chancellor’s Office. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:   That the Board of Trustees approve the negotiated agreement between CSEA, Chapter 420, and YCCD pending ratification by the membership of CSEA, Chapter 420, and State CSEA.                                

 

4.          MJC Firing Range

 

Plans to accommodate growth and improvements to the MJC West Campus have been implemented over the last five years. These changes included adding four child development centers and a soccer field, and constructing two large classroom buildings. In addition, four new parking lots and internal roads will be built this spring in order to access the new classroom buildings when they open in the summer of 2002. By the fall of 2002 the campus population will jump from approximately 3,000 students to 6,000 students and is likely to reach 10,000 students in another three to five years.

 

One aspect of the changes to West Campus has been the relocation of the Criminal Justice Training Center facilities. The former facilities were temporary WWII buildings and were considered undesirable by prospective and current law enforcement students. In addition, there was growing concern that a live firing range in the middle of a growing and busy campus was an incompatible use. Thus, the campus Master Plan evolved to include the plan for relocation of this program and facilities.

 

Approximately three and a half years ago, the Yosemite Community College District signed a Joint Powers Agreement with the County of Stanislaus (on behalf of the Sheriff’s Office) and the City of Modesto (on behalf of the Police Department) to build and operate new law enforcement training facilities on property near the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center. The facility has since been built, the CJTC program moved, and the old buildings removed from the MJC West Campus.

 

The agreement also called for a new firing range to be built and used by the JPA partners. Recently, the CJTC JPA agreed to support and use the Modesto Police Department’s new firing range that is being built on West Main Street near Patterson.  Plans call for the Criminal Justice firearms classes (90% of the use), and the Administration of Justice firearms classes (10% of the use) to be held at the MPD firing range.  The agreement also calls for MJC to continue to provide a range coordinator and the use of our weapons arsenal. This agreement made it feasible to remove the MJC firing range from the West Campus and proceed with the college plans for that site.

 

As these plans developed this spring, environmental testing that is required for all remodeling, removal or construction projects, was conducted at the firing range site. The preliminary testing yielded results that required more extensive lead testing. The conclusion of the hazardous waste consultants was that the firing range and surrounding area have considerable environmental lead contamination that must be removed.  In the process of conducting these tests, the consultants also confirmed informal reports that we had been receiving. These consultants, the district architect, and our own staff, confirmed that significant shrapnel was escaping from the range. This was determined to be a safety hazard to anyone in the area and a major potential liability. 

 

Following the initial environmental testing, the lead consultants reported to the District that the cistern which pumps water out of the range must be closed down immediately. It was found to be releasing lead-contaminated water into our water disposal system. The District complied as required by law and the cistern was closed.

 

After the escaping shrapnel was confirmed, the option of making immediate repairs was discussed. The lead consultants stated that no repairs could be made to the range until the lead contamination was removed and that only certified lead abatement specialists are authorized to do the clean up. They also recommended that the abatement occur before the rainy season begins. Significant rainfall, they stated, will spread the contamination even further and increase the costs of clean up.

 

The District has taken several steps in response to this new information. The firing range was closed temporarily for health and safety reasons in late July. As the MPD firing range was not yet complete, temporary use of the Sheriff’s Office Laird Park facility was obtained for the police academy students. Two Administration of Justice classes were cancelled for the fall term but will be offered in the spring.  As a backup plan, the Turlock Police Chief has stated that their new facility also can be used as an alternate site in the unlikely event that the MPD facility is not complete by January 2002.

 

Bid specifications have been written and published to identify an authorized vendor to do the lead clean up of the range and surrounding area. Estimates for the lead abatement begin at approximately $150,000. The lead consultants also recommend that once the site is cleaned that it not be reused for the same purpose as the current configuration will cause the contamination to occur again, necessitating yet another clean up.

 

A new development occurred recently. A formal request was received from Sheriff Dick Rogers of Tuolumne County indicating their interest in obtaining salvageable portions of the MJC firing range. It is their goal to relocate the facility and build a range on property owned by Tuolumne County. Once it is completed, MJC’s Criminal Justice Training Center, in cooperation with Columbia College, will offer POST certified and credit classes at the new site in Tuolumne County. Since Tuolumne County and Columbia College are part of the Yosemite Community College District’s service area, this goal is consistent with our mission for serving the entire area. In fact, it has long been a shared goal to increase the number of law enforcement offerings to the communities in the foothills.

 

In summary, the twenty-six-year-old MJC firing range is incompatible at its current site due to the extensive growth and activity in the immediate area and throughout the campus. Consequently, it poses significant health and safety challenges.  In the proposal before the Board of Trustees, current firearms programs will be offered at the Modesto Police Department’s firing range and new courses will be offered at the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s firing range in the future. Additionally, clean up and removal of the old range will meet environmental requirements and allow campus instructional and service plans to continue to be implemented in a safe and appropriate way.

 

Representatives of law enforcement, district consultants, and college staff will be available to speak to the issues described in this item and to answer trustees’ questions. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:      That the Board of Trustees authorize proceeding with conducting lead abatement at the MJC firing range site, closing the range and donating salvageable portions of the firing range to the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office, and preparing an agreement with the County of Tuolumne regarding the transfer of this property and the provision of firearms training at their new range.
