2030 Goal 3: (Equity) Close all student equity gaps. • In the 2018-19 academic year, Norco College served 677 unduplicated DRC students. This is an increase of 106 students over the previous year. This increase is a reflection of the culture the College has created and fostered for students with disabilities.

2024 Objective 8.6: Build and support student services to foster student engagement, wellness, and success in the classroom and outside the classroom • eSports held boot camp training for team members before the semester began.

• In addition, there were close to 2,000 parents, family and friends in attendance. We had 90 volunteers providing information on admissions, financial aid, library services, counseling, student health, academic support, student conduct, and campus life. Campus tours were provided to 725 people.

INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS

2024 Objective 5.2: Help develop regional identity, collaboration, and organization • The College is sending over 45 staff and students to the Riverside County Women’s Leadership Conference in September, which will take place in Corona.

2024 Objective 9.2: Develop integrated planning processes that include all planning, accreditation self-study, resource allocation, and alignment with district and statewide plans based on the college mission and plans • Accreditation 2020 was a topic of a Flex presentation and a breakout session on August 21.

For the afternoon breakout session, participants’ good questions guided the engaged and fruitful discussion.

• Norco College recruitment effort is under way. Per the direction of the

Chancellor, we are moving forward with two timelines, one that is aggressive in Human that the process would be complete with a candidate in place by 2/1/20; the other Resources & less aggressive in terms of timeline would be complete by 7/1/20.

Employees • HRER met with the consultants from NEOGOV about the possibility of moving Relations the District onto that system. Given Workday’s decision to pull out as the consultant for the District’s ERP, as well as the fact that there is no support from PeopleAdmin or our own internal ITS, HRER must move forward with a system that can be implemented and up in running in minimal time if we are to achieve our objectives and goals in relation to creating a streamlined, effective and efficient system of recruiting. We believe NEOGOV will meet all of our needs as it relates to recruitment and selection, onboarding, learning management and performance management.

Professional Development, Training and Compliance • New changes in the law that became effective 1/1/2019, require that all individuals who receive a pay check must take harassment prevention training. I have met with CTA President Rhonda Taube in relation to this matter. We must

Chancellor’s Monthly Update

continue to work to reach agreement in terms of how adjuncts will participate in this required training. I. For full-time faculty, it will fall under flex. II. For part-time faculty, we will need to compensate them for the time they spend taking the course. We cannot rely upon training they might have received elsewhere, as there is no guarantee that such training would be comparable to that which we provide. Also, the training we provide is specific to our organization.

• Ever-Fi is up and running for managers and classified employees. However, because ITS has not completed the necessary work, HRER has been forced to remain in a holding pattern or attempt to create thousands of records for students and part-time faculty, a virtually impossible task.

• HRER continues to move through the process of updating policies and procedures.

Retention • September is open enrollment month. Notifications went out to employees. If you want to make changes to your benefits, now is the time to do so. Separate notifications were sent to part-time faculty, as their process is slightly different.

• HRER continues to work with CSEA on a number of issues that require negotiations. Those items include, but are not limited to: professional development, impacts and effects of layoffs, and chances in working conditions.

• HRER is currently facilitating the intake and/or actual investigation of a number of complaints of unlawful discrimination falling under Title 5 and Title IX.

• HRER is currently working with the colleges and the District on a number of performance management issues (including discipline) as well as facilitating grievance processes with CSEA.

• HRER is currently facilitating the interactive process with employees at the colleges and District office.

• HRER is currently responding to a number of employees and/or employee groups in relation to matters within the scope of work performed within our office.

• The salary study is moving forward slowly. We have agreed to some specific points related to process.

o CSEA wants us to survey all 226 job descriptions, but to do that would increase the cost of the study by approximately $94,000.

Chancellor’s Monthly Update o We are meeting weekly for updates with the consultant via a fifteen minute phone call every Friday morning. Included in that discussion is the District, CSEA and the consultants. o The consultant does not believe it possible to complete the work prior to February. o CSEA remains tethered to the idea of simply re-writing the current job descriptions as opposed to creating a classification plan that is responsive to the needs of the District. o As an FYI, while CSEA continues to suggest that we have been working on this process since 2016, which is not entirely accurate and extremely disingenuous. o The Board approved authorized the study on February 16, 2016, when they approved the collective bargaining agreement. o The agreement required an RFP to choose a consultant to conduct the study. o The RFP was awarded in November 2016. o Koff & Associates (successful consultant) began work an educational campaign to communicate the process to classified employees and managers in the early months of 2017. o Position Description Questionnaires PDQs were sent out to employees. They were to be completed by the employee, who then sent the document to his/her supervisor. Despite our best efforts, many supervisors (presidents, vice chancellors, vice presidents, deans, directors, etc.) failed to complete the necessary work. o Since we did not believe it fair to employees to miss out on the process, we extended the deadline many times over many months. o In late 2017 through early 2018, Koff & Associates conducted interviews with employees. They also conducted interviews with supervisors. o On July 23, 2018, Koff & Associates forwarded their recommendations related to broad versus narrow classifications. This information was shared with CSEA and with Executive Cabinet. o From 7/23/18 to 5/28/19, there were no less than 16 efforts to move this process forward. o From 6/1/19 to present, there have been an additional four meetings in which we have worked to bring the District and CSEA closer together. The next meeting is set for 9/6/19.

Chancellor’s Monthly Update

Succession Planning • The District presented an MOU related to professional development funds allocated to the District. To date, we have received no response on this matter from CSEA

• Succession planning efforts within HRER are underway.

• The supplemental retirement incentive for December 2019 and June 2020 are underway. We have coordinated meetings with PARS, PERS, and STRS.

OUTREACH and PHILANTHROPY

• Assistant Director Wendy Johnson is working with the Foundation’s newly retained legal counsel to address an issue related to the Jack & Jean Marsh Endowed Scholarship. There is an ongoing misunderstanding on the part of the donors about how endowment funds are managed and disbursed. Multiple attempts by the ED & Foundation Board to address these concerns have been unsuccessful and the donors have engaged the Riverside County civil grand jury. Foundation legal counsel is addressing the issue and the Foundation is cooperating to the extent allowed by the organization’s document retention policy. Further updates will be provided as we move through this process.

• Over the next 30-60 days, Foundation legal counsel will review the organization’s governing documents and recommend any necessary changes to update these documents and bring them into compliance with current laws/regulations, District/Foundation policy, and ensure alignment with the Master Agreement between the District and Foundation.

In addition, BFS is utilizing the CCLC Board Policy and Administrative Procedures service to determine if additional BP/APs are warranted. As necessary, BFS will engage constituency groups to review and advise regarding updates to BP/APs.

Chancellor’s Monthly Update

• Future General Obligation Bond – The District is actively working on the feasibility of a future general obligation bond. The bond consulting firm, TBWBH Strategies, and bond research firm, True North Research, have been engaged to provide strategic guidance to the Board of Trustees and District leadership, including all constituency groups, for a future bond campaign. Planning efforts are fully underway including development of a feasibility survey and the results thereof, meetings with Chancellor’s Cabinet, formation of a bond task force, meetings to engage all constituency groups, development of information mailers and digital media information, development of external stakeholder meeting assignments, to strategically plan for the bond campaign. Two potential election dates have been identified, March 2020 and November 2020. The RCCD Bond Feasibility Survey was conducted in February 2019. The results of the survey have been compiled and were reviewed by the consultants with the General Obligation Bond Feasibility Task Force on March 18th. A GO Bond Study Session took place on March 29th with internal stakeholders (approximately 35 individuals) for TBWB and True North to share progress on bond feasibility efforts; planning for internal/external outreach to stakeholders and to the public; to discuss and develop a strategy, timelines, common messaging, campaign guidelines, raising community awareness; and to review the most recent bond survey results.

• Fiscal Viability Assessment – The District engaged an external consultant, Collaborative Brain Trust (CBT), to assist in developing financial modeling with the primary goal of diversifying the District’s reliance on State apportionment funding. The objectives are to assess and quantify the District’s obligations and liabilities; identify and areas of inefficiency and waste, and opportunities to increases efficiency; and explore opportunities for new funding from private foundations, the RCCD Foundation, Federal and State sources. On February 28th and March 1st, CBT held the first round of meetings with District and College representatives, including College Presidents and Vice Presidents, Vice Chancellors, researchers and IT. The next round of meetings, by phone, were conducted on April 16th, 17th and 23rd with the three Academic Senate Presidents, Faculty Co-Chairs for the Distance Education Committee, Interim Dean of Distance Education, District Office and College Grants and Economic Development administrators, Director of Adult Education, and the Dean of International Studies.

Chancellor’s Monthly Update

Additional meetings were scheduled for the weeks of July 22nd and July 29th including with the new Vice Chancellor of Institutional Advancement, Rebeccah Goldware. A final draft report of findings and recommendations was received the first week of August. While there are some beneficial observations and recommendations that can be gleaned from the report, the overall report recommendations and results are substantially less than expected and will be of only minimal use moving forward. We will regroup and utilize primarily internal resources, augmented selectively as necessary with external expertise, to complete our own assessment that coordinates with our strategic plans.

Accounting • Controller Recruitment – Advertising for the Controller position closed last week with six applicants. The initial meeting of the selection committee will occur the week of September 2, 2019.

• Financial Aid Disbursements – Testing has completed in early July, in coordination with the college Financial Aid offices and IT. Each step in the disbursement process has been reviewed and inefficiencies have been eliminated. The goal was to reduce the disbursement timeline, which has been reduced from 5 days to 4 days which has been accomplished. The reduced timeline will allow for additional disbursement to students, if necessary.

• FY 2018-2019 Year End Closing – Payroll and Accounts Payable successfully completed year end closing on August 1, 2019.

• The District auditors were at the District Office performing fieldwork from July 8th through July 10th. They are schedule to return the week of October 7 and will complete their testing on or before October 17th. The auditors for both the Foundation and Measure “C” audits are scheduled to begin the week of September 16th and will complete their testing on or before September 19, 2019. The Controller and Accounts Payable staff are preparing audit schedules for the audit process.

• Affordable Care Act – RCCD is required to file information regarding offers of health coverage and enrollment for applicable employees, per IRS regulations. HRER enters ACA information into both the Benefit Bridge system and the Galaxy Health & Welfare module. The District will be transitioning to a single data source by migrating solely to Benefit Bridge, increasing both efficiency and manual input errors. Due to personnel changes in Payroll and Accounting Services, testing/validation has been extended. The transition is expected to be complete before the end of October 2019.

• STRS Overload Retirement Reporting Issue – Some District retirees were impacted by a CalSTRS audit finding related to an error in the reporting of overload hours when retirees were still working for the District. The result was that retirees were overpaid CalSTRS benefits and are now being assessed for the overpayments. On Tuesday, August 16, 2019, a meeting was held with Chancellor Isaac, VC Brown, CTA representatives, Payroll Manager, and the Interim Controller to discuss and Chancellor’s Monthly Update

address the benefit overpayments imposed by CalSTRS. Collectively, it was agreed that the District will pay the benefit overpayments. The District has been attempting to work with CalSTRS for many months to verify the accuracy of their calculations, something that has been difficult to do despite our repeated attempts. Chancellor Isaac has scheduled a meeting with the Superintendent of RCOE, VC Brown, and staff on September 16th to have RCOE intercede with CalSTRS at the highest levels on our behalf. RCCD’s CTA will contact the State CTA to seek advice to force CalSTRS to respond to our inquiries. CalSTRS has stated that the District is able to make payments directly to CalSTRS on the retiree’s behalf. Before we do so, it is important that we understand and agree with CalSTRS regarding the calculation of the amount and that we determine the fairest and least impactful repayment method for both the retiree and the District, including consideration of repayment terms over the five year time period CalSTRS has calculated for each retiree. The total amount of benefit overpayments for the current retirees is $158,695.

Budget and Purchasing • FY 19/20 Final Budget Development – The FY 19-20 Final Budget has been completed, incorporating the Governor’s budget proposal, FY 2018-19 year end projections, enrollment projections, and the Student Centered Funding Formula metrics. The first phase of the Revised Budget Allocation Model was incorporated in Final Budget; however, no budget allocation modifications were made as a result of the implementation in FY 2019-20.

Budget/Purchasing • Huron Consulting, RCCD third-party integrator, is working with college test users, district Business Services, IT and RCOE to assist with the refinement of Concur business processes, forms and fields, and workflow. The District along with Huron, DGS and Concur are looking at various card options, including a declining balance card program, for travel expenses such as conference registration, personal hotel credit card holds, meals and transportation. Major barriers that have delayed the implementation of Concur include; automation of import/extract data, Huron recommended configuration changes, and pilot participation.

It was included on the agenda of the District Strategic Planning Council (DSPC) a year ago. At that time, the DSPC asked that the colleges send it through to the shared governance committees for review and comment. Since there has been little activity to finalize the EOP, Risk Management will include it on the agenda of the District Safety and Security Council (DSSC). The DSSC is a shared governance committee to review and recommend moving forward to DSPC. The DSSC will review it in sections. The sections include the Core EOP plan, the pandemic plan, campus closure, PIO Crisis and Communications plan (actively working on with Rebeccah Goldware, Vice Chancellor IA&ED), Emergency Procedures, Emergency Notifications Procedures, Local Hazard Mitigation plan and various appendices.

The policies will be presented to DSPC on Nov. 11th in order to meet the Jan. 1st requirement. • Every three years, the DOJ performs a California Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (CLETS) security audit of the RCCD Police Department. The DOJ audit found that security is complying. However, the DOJ found that the account management security aspect was out of compliance in the following areas: 1) all employees working in the police department (including IT members working on PD computers) need to have a background check under the RCCD PD originating agency identification number and; 2) a firewall needs to be established between the RCCD network and the RCCD PD network that maintains the CLETS access. PD is working with IT to address these items. Full compliance is expected by Apr. 2020.

CA FEDERAL REGULATIONS REGULATION SUMMARY STATUS Undocumented Students: Immigration officials must consider the possibility of legal immigrants being dependent on 8.20.19 – CCCLA Public Charge Rule the federal programs when considering applications for permanent residency. RCCD Colleges sent a message out Old Interpretation: Applied narrowly to generally only those who are in mental health to all students with college staff institutions. lead contact information offering assistance. New Interpretation: Significantly expanded to require immigration officials to consider the following when considering authorizing permanent residency or citizenship: • Utilization of public benefits like SNAP, Section 8 Vouchers, Social Security, Medicaid. • Factors such as age, health, household size, income, assets, debts, education and skill levels. Participation in federally funded financial-aid programs like Pell Grants, the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant or work-study do not qualify for consideration.

Impact: use of targeted programs and discriminates against legal immigrants for factors not relevant to rule’s intention: • Makes it more difficult for immigrant students impacted by the rule to attend college due to reduction of vital support from programs intended to support them. • Will result in reduction in subsidized medical use and potentially increase overall healthcare costs and public health emergencies.

POLICE SERVICES • Parking Committee Activity - The Parking Committee is discussing the following topics: 1) changing the look of electronic parking permits to limit duplications and misuse (this project will proceed when parking pass data is received for the Fall and Spring semesters to see how many passes are distributed); 2) reallocating parking spaces at CAADO for staff and students (some members would like restriping so staff and students can park on all 3 floors) & electric vehicle parking at CAADO (these are on hold until a parking survey is completed in Apr.) and; 3) allocation of a few spaces at the Veterans Center Norco (once clarification is received from NC regarding exactly how many spaces are being requested and the exact locations) The next Parking Committee meeting is on Feb. 7. • Parking Survey – Risk Management and FPD will be engaging a parking consultant to perform a districtwide parking survey to examine the utilization of staff parking during “off-hours” with the goal of determining if unused staff parking during “off-hours” can be designated for student use to improve student safety.
