Approval of the Minutes

A motion was made by Mr. Rojas, seconded by Mr. Mitchell, that the Board of Trustees approve the minutes of the regular meeting of June 5, 2001.

 

Mr. Rojas pointed out typographical errors that needed correction.  On page one, Mr. Rojas should not have been listed under the section of “Board Members Present,” as he was absent from that meeting.  On page 10, relative to the establishment of the appropriations limit the year should read 2001-2002, and on page 19 Roy Murray and Joanne Larsen should be listed as two separate items not one.

 

With these corrections, the motion carried by a vote of 6-0.

INFORMATION ITEMS

MJC Presidency

 

 

A special welcome was given to Dr. Stan Hodges, who began as MJC’s Interim President on July 2.  The Chancellor stated that his experience, knowledge and commitment to MJC and this community would serve us well over the next few months. Dr. Hodges expressed his appreciation of the opportunity to serve MJC once again.  In the meantime, Chancellor Fisher said the presidential search process is continuing.  Dr. Abel Sykes, is personally contacting and encouraging applications from highly qualified individuals.  The time line calls for interviews to be conducted in September.

Congratulations!

It was reported that four MJC students won scholarships from Townsend Press, one of the leading publishers in developmental education.  Townsend Press is coming out with a new edition of their popular reader, Taking Charge of Our Lives.   This is a heart-rending collection of essays written by developmental students who have overcome serious obstacles to academic success.  In the next edition,  four of the thirty-three essays in this reader will be by MJC students.  English professor Ann Smith reported that she used an application idea from her trip to the Museum of Tolerance to prompt students to write about conquering negativity about self and others. Congratulations were extended to professor Smith and her students!

MJC Title V Grant Award

MJC President Stan Hodges announced that Modesto Junior College is one of only 45 colleges nationwide to receive a Strengthening Institutions Program grant for Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) from the U.S. Department of Education, funded under Title V of the Higher Education Act.  This $2.07 million grant was sought to create a Center for Learning Assistance Across the Curriculum (CLAAC) at MJC.   Staff will be hired in the first year of this five-year grant. The center will be housed in Sierra Halls.  The Chancellor stated that more details will be provided to trustees as this program develops. Chancellor Fisher and trustees commended the many staff who developed this proposal over the past year.

GED Celebration

Dr. Riggs reported that the annual GED graduation celebration was held at Columbia College on June 18.  He said that the new GED recipients, along with family and friends, attended to celebrate their accomplishments.  Some of the students indicated that they are planning to continue their educational pursuits by enrolling in additional courses at Columbia College in the summer and fall semesters.

Louis Armstrong Celebration

Columbia College and the Central Sierra Arts Council are cosponsoring a concert and presentation at Columbia College Carkeet Park on August 4, 2001, from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.  Dr. Riggs said the event will celebrate Louis Armstrong and will commemorate his 100th birthday.  Presentations also will be featured which celebrate Armstrong’s contributions to music and his efforts to breakdown racial stereotypes.  The event is funded by a grant from Met Life Financial Services Foundation to the Columbia College Foundation to be used to support the college’s Beyond Tolerance Initiative.  This event is free and open to the public.

The MJC Foundation will hold its summer gala on Friday, July 13.  This highly successful event also is labor intensive and Mr. Tim Flemming, Foundation Director, reported that 130 staff have volunteered to work hard to make the evening go smoothly.  The Chancellor and trustees thanked them for their support.

 

Teresa Scott, Vice Chancellor for Fiscal Services, stated that the stalemate in the Legislature has prevented the timely adoption of the state budget.  Budget issues include the areas of student enrollment growth, COLA, part-time faculty compensation, and COLA for Partnership for Excellence funds.

 

Chancellor Fisher reported that a  revised version of the MJC West Campus Village concept has been developed by our partner, the Mehmet Noyan Company.  Based upon prior input from the Board of Trustees, City of Modesto, and community opinions, certain elements of the concept plan had been modified to better reflect what the campus and community desire.  Mr. Mehmet Noyan reported that there have been significant  modifications in the scope of the plan.  The retail element has been reduced by more than 50%, the “big box” retail was eliminated and the business park land use was increased significantly.  He said the next step will be to submit a formal application to the City which will include the site plan and land use designation. Mr. Hallinan asked if revisions to the plan will be brought back to trustees before the application is made to the City.  Dr. Fisher explained that the application process will move forward. However, the design guidelines will be developed later, probably in early 2002 and those will be brought back to the Board at that time. Mr. Noyan said that they remain enthusiastic about working with YCCD.  Also present at the meeting was Mr. Dan Strammiello, lead planner, who had been instrumental in making a number of modifications to the plan.

 

Some members of the audience addressed the Board of Trustees on their opinions on this project.  Trustees thanked Messrs. Noyan and Strammiello for their reports.

MJC Firing Range

The Chancellor reported that as more information was obtained concerning health, safety and liability issues,   it was determined that the range is presently not safe for use.  She said we had been aware of the lead contamination problem and later learned of the significant problem with the escaping of shrapnel. Recent reports have been received from the hazardous management consultant, the architect, (and even comments from Mr. Don Clark) stating that the range is not safe until it is repaired or replaced. Since the new range probably will not open until mid-September, an agreement has been made for academy students to continue their training at the Sheriff’s range facility at Laird Park.  However, two criminal justice classes scheduled for fall have been postponed until a safe facility is available. 

 

Several members of the audience requested to address  trustees with their opinions on this issue.  When their time came to speak, some individuals asked to give their five minutes to Don Clark and/or Janice Walker.  Initially Mr. Hallinan stated that there was no need to donate their time, as the time limit did not apply to Information Items.  Other trustees pointed out that the time limit is  a standard practice.  Since audience members had requested to donate their time to others, Mr. Hallinan made a motion to allow them to do that.  Mr. Mitchell said that each person that requests to speak should do so.  Trustees prefer to hear everyone’s opinion.  Mr. Hallinan’s motion died for lack of a second.

 

Steve Breckenridge said this Board should rise above party politics and work to keep the range open.  He suggested and volunteered to help raise money to fix the range.

 

Amilda McCracken complained about the cancellation of the two firearms classes. She said that postponing these classes will delay getting her degree.

 

James McCracken stated that he had a problem with the planning of the West Campus property.  He said this property is intended for educational purposes and asked why a degreed program (firearms training) is being eliminated while a non-degreed program (soccer) is being accommodated.  He suggested the soccer field be moved to where the West Campus Village is planned  and keep the firing range.

 

Daniel McCracken wanted to voice his opinion and said he feels the closure of the firing range is a waste of a learning facility and money.  

 

Jaysen Hill (Don Clark’s assistant) said he is a student concerned with providing training for students.  He said they were promised a range and that has not come true. 

 

Don Clark said he wanted to clarify his comments regarding  the status of the firing range.  He stated that at the April Board meeting he indicated, and still believes, that the MJC Firing Range is an excellent facility.  He said that it is currently unsafe because of neglect by the district.  However, he said the range could easily be fixed by maintenance personnel.  Mr. Clark also had several complaints about not receiving public documents requested under the Education Code provisions.  

 

Janice Walker said she continues to look into questionable district practices.  She  said she has had trouble obtaining public documents from the district and still had not received some of the information she requested.  In particular, she  had made a request  for a copy of the original grant and plan for the firing range.  She said the district’s attorney informed her no such documents were available, yet  MPD  reps were able to obtain the plans.  Chancellor Fisher said that she was aware of Ms. Walker’s request for the original grant, which is not available.  However, she said that if the plans are available they will be provided to her.  Dr. Fisher added that in the last couple of weeks additional information has been received from the architect and the hazardous management consultant which refute Mr. Clark’s statements that YCCD staff could repair the range.  Ms. Walker requested copies of these and Chancellor Fisher agreed to provide those to her.

 

John Rose said he was at this meeting because he disagrees with the Chancellor’s decisions and how she administers the district.  He said he believes that for a long time the Chancellor’s intent has been to take this program off campus.  He said the West Campus property was donated for the specific purpose of creating a regional criminal justice program and educational services, not commercial development.   He said the Chancellor created the Criminal Justice Training Center JPA for the purpose of moving the program from the college campus, and accused her of calling meetings of the JPA without public notice as required by the Brown Act.   Dr. Fisher clarified that the JPA proposal was initiated by Sheriff Weidman five years ago and that the Commission meeting dates are called and posted by the commission president.

 

A.J. Maveety asked for information about which Board member represented his Trustee Area. He said he had been unable to get that information.  After providing his address,  he was informed that he is in Trustee Area 5.   Mr. Hallinan,  Ms. Flores and Mr. Neumann represent that area.

 

Brandy Struve was upset about the closure of the range after being promised that it would be available until the MPD facility was ready.  She began to verbally attack Chancellor Fisher.  Trustee Mitchell  reminded her to keep her comments focused on the firing range issue.  She had no further comment.  

 

John Madden stated that he hoped a compromise could be reached to keep the MJC Range open which is a valuable resource to the community. Mr. Madden said he is the chairman of the “Friends of the NRA Committee.”  They are a volunteer, non-profit organization that raises funds to support shooting sports and hunting activities throughout the country.  He said the MJC Firing Range would qualify for grant funds from “Friends of the NRA.”   As chairperson of the committee he said he can almost assure that funds are available if a grant application is submitted.

 

Thomas Herring said he was present to let the Board know how the programs offered at the firing range have helped him and others he knows with their careers.  He said he would like to see the range remain open until the MPD range is ready.

DISCUSSION ITEMS

Student Services On-Line

 

 

The Chancellor introduced Ms. Susie Agostini, Director of Matriculation, Admissions & Records, and Mr. Juan Alvarez, Dean of Student Services, and thanked them for their patience. (They had waited two hours to make their presentation.) They described the myriad of services available on-line to students.  Among them are registration, transcripts, class search, financial aid information, access of grades, buying books and creating an educational plan.  In the future they hope to add student orientation and tutoring.  For faculty, they hope to introduce electronic roll books.  Trustees commended them for their work and thanked them for their report.

Proposed Revision to Policies 4007 and 5017 (Smoking) - Second 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.  The YCCD Wellness Committee and the college councils have discussed and proposed a modification to Policies 4007 and 5017.  The proposed new policies include prohibiting any smoking within 20 feet of an entrance to a building.  Both Academic Senates and the YFA have indicated their support of the policy change.

 

A motion was made by Mr. Allen, seconded by Ms. Schrimp, that the Board of Trustees conduct a second reading of the proposed revised Board Policies 4007 and 5017 (Smoking).

 

The motion carried by a vote of 5 ayes (Allen, Flores, Mitchell, Rojas, Schrimp) and 1 nay (Hallinan).
