3. Goal 8 Second Reading & Recommendation
   
   

·       Draft Goal 8 statement distributed.  First reading approved now looking for approval on second reading.  Moved/Evers; Second by Schultz; Passed to approve sending draft Goal 8 language to Board for second reading with the following change:

 

o        Discussion:  Verbiage should read as follows:  Develop and implement a District-wide facilities plan which encompasses the design, construction (including furnishings and equipment), renovation and major scheduled maintenance of College facilities that support programs and enhance student and employee success.

 

4. Process for Prioritizing Capital Projects

 

• List is set – dollar amount keeps moving up.  How do we prioritize amongst these various needs?    Our process needs to be more profound.  We could do some kind of exercise at the August Council Retreat to establish criteria and initiate a Task Force.  Dr. Treadway needs your initial thoughts.  .  Proposed sale of frontage property was intended to help fund our needs, but Board declined.  Deanna says we need the Board to focus on specific needs for outside funding.  Dr. Treadway will bring materials to the Retreat, we will develop the process, and then launch it.

 

5. Board Agenda Review

 

• Approval of an Energy Service Contract with PowerLight Corporation
• The contract will provide a Photovoltaic System on the roof of the OhloneCollegeNewarkCenter for Health Sciences and Technology.  This system will reduce energy costs and will pay for itself over a period of 20 years.  District solicited bids for the Photovoltaic System to compare prices and systems available.  Two bids were received.  The system provided by PowerLight offered the highest number of Kilowatt Hours and was found to best fit the design of the new center. 
• Consideration of Fremont Police Department Proposal

o        On May 31^st College Council thoroughly discussed the various aspects of the Fremont Police Department proposal as well as other options of campus police and security.  The College Council’s recommendation to the College President is that the District not go further in negotiating with Fremont Police to conduct a study or to otherwise provide direct on campus safety and security services.  College Council was unanimous in its belief that the campus is well served under the current model; that the College should initiate recruitment for a new Chief, Safety and Security (with the current job description).

• Ratification of New Bond Measure A Oversight Committee Members

o        Bond Measure A Oversight Committee members are to be ratified following the Board’s decision at the May 24, 2006 Board meeting to accept all candidates who interviewed with the Board subcommittee.  First meeting with this group will be on June 19, 2006.

 

• Frontage development plan nearing conclusion.  Five of the seven Board Members must concur or a 2/3 vote needed for next step.  Letter of Intent will be sent and then a formal bid will be conducted.
• Bond Project Update distributed by Deanna Walston.  Updates on Fremont and Newark Campus discussed.
• Cheryl Lambert addressed the May 31, 2006 Retreat Notes –

o        Questions need to be answered – people raising the questions seek to get them answered.  This list needs to be sifted through – this issue will be brought forward at the Council Retreat.  Dr. Treadway suggested that Council members identify the top 3 or 4 issues/questions they’d like to discuss further at the August 24 retreat.
