There was discussion and many questions about the budget allocation process and the projected budget. There was continued discussion on FTES, New Hires, Replacement Hires, District Services, and the results and how they affect Porterville College. Donna suggested taking a very proactive posture on approaching the District on the budget. We need to take a really good look at the budget and see where and if we can cut anymore from our budget; and present our information to the Chancellor and to the Board of Trustees. Virginia suggested we contact our Board member and suggested that the students in attendance contact the Associated Students of the other colleges and we all contact our Board Porterville College College Learning Council Minutes from March 13, 2006 Page 2

Student Mural Project – Henry Reneau: Henry presented a plan by the BroChA Club to do a mural on the East wall of the Student Center. The proposed mural would represent the diversity of Porterville College and incorporate the works of the local Poetry Group in the mural. BroChA also wishes to include a presentation of design ideas for approval by the entire student body for the design of the mural as this will represent every student at Porterville College. Henry presented some sketched ideas of the proposed mural designs. There was discussion about doing the mural on removable boards for the following reasons: 1. To be able to save the mural in case of remodel/repair of the Student Center; 2. Removable panels would also allow the mural to be used for campus activities and taken off campus to promote Porterville College around town and at other off campus functions. It was agreed by all that this would be a great moral booster for the students and all of Porterville College. CLC gave consensus to support the mural project.
