another two-page document that she would provide to the Trustees once she has received it.

Trustee Selena Solis made a motion that the item be tabled until after Executive Session. Mr. Dunbar stated that it could be discussed in Executive Session to determine any liability or potential litigation that might arise out of the purported agreement.

Dr. Uxer asked if this document had been approved by the Board of Trustees in an open meeting. Mr. Fierro responded that it would need to be researched to make that determination. Mr. Dunbar commented that he believed that the document in question is a nullity and was not written or reviewed by his office, or approved by the Board of Trustees.

Mrs. Robles stated that the Trustees needed to get additional information so that sound decisions could be made. She stated that she would not be in a position to vote at this time. She thanked Mr. Dunbar and Dr. Serrata for the document that was presented to the Trustees together with the supporting documentation.

Foundation and the College District. Mr. Dunbar felt that that the Memorandum of Understanding from 2003 is the prevailing document, but if other documents exist they needed to be reviewed.

Dr. Graham commented that she believed that the Trustees were trying to seek clarity to the relationship between the Foundation and the College District. She was unclear how much of the funding was coming from grants and how much was coming in the form of actual donations through the Foundation.

Ms. Solis commented that with the departure of Dr. Christy Ponce (former executive director, Foundation) that her request is to not wait and to move forward with the plan submitted by Dr. Serrata so that funds can continue to be raised for scholarships through the Foundation.

Mr. Fierro agreed with Ms. Solis and stated that he felt Dr. Serrata should appoint someone to provide the immediate direction for the Foundation to keep it moving forward, until the Board decides its direction. Mr. Fierro asked Mr. Dunbar if the motion could be amended to direct Dr. Serrata to assign an interim director while the remaining items are being researched. Mr. Dunbar responded that was appropriate.

Ms. Solis withdrew her motion to table this item until after Executive Session.

Motion Mr. Fierro amended his motion to read “The Second Board of Trustees will deliberate on directing the

FINANCIAL SERVICES ABSTRACT

Item(s) to be Considered: Consideration and deliberation on the approval to Aggregate Amount: increase the amount of existing purchase orders issued (Not to Exceed) to five radio broadcasters. $90,000

Requestor: Joyce Cordell Area Responsible: Marketing & Community Relations

Resource Persons: Ernst Roberts, Joyce Cordell

Purpose: To increase various existing purchase orders by an amount not to exceed $90,000, in the aggregate, for college advertising on five radio broadcasting stations, websites, and live remotes for the duration of fiscal year 2013-2014.

Explanation: In August 2013, the Board of Trustees approved the issuance of various contracts to the five vendors below. These contracts, in the aggregate, were not to exceed $95,000. To increase the College’s visibility, the Administration recommends augmenting these contracts for radio advertising by an additional amount not to exceed $90,000. If this item is approved, this additional up to $90,000 would be split among the five vendors in a manner consistent with the College’s marketing plan.

These broadcasters are sole sources due to individual proprietary broadcasting rights. Radio stations often define their audience by age, gender, income, education, or the station’s chosen format. Our future enrollment numbers will be greatly affected if we ignore any one of these audiences.

FINANCIAL SERVICES ABSTRACT

Item(s) to be Considered: Consideration and deliberation on the approval to increase the amount on existing purchase Aggregate Amount: (Not to Exceed) orders issued to five television media $60,000 companies.

Requestor: Joyce Cordell Area Responsible: Marketing & Community Relations

Resource Persons: Ernst Roberts, Joyce Cordell

Purpose: To increase various existing purchase orders by an amount not to exceed $60,000, in the aggregate, for college advertising on five television stations and their websites for the duration of fiscal year 2013-2014.

Explanation: In August 2013, the Board of Trustees approved the issuance of various contracts to seven vendors, including the five listed below. These contracts, in the aggregate, were not to exceed $105,000. To increase the College’s visibility, the Administration recommends augmenting these contracts for television advertising by an additional amount not to exceed $60,000 for the five vendors listed below. If this item is approved, this additional up to $60,000 would be split among the five vendors in a manner consistent with the College’s marketing plan.

These media companies are sole sources due to individual proprietary broadcasting rights.

In supporting the district’s mission, advertising from the various media outlets must be purchased on an annual basis. In a very competitive market, it is critical that EPCC is easily recognized in the community as a top notch educational institution. Therefore, our message must be sent out through a multitude of media outlets in order to cover the broad target audience we are trying to reach.

FINANCIAL SERVICES ABSTRACT

Item(s) to be Considered: Consideration and deliberation on the approval of the renewal of an annual contract for Amount: $52,600 maintenance and support for software from Ad Astra Information Systems.

Requestor: Daryle Hendry Area Responsible: Student Services

Resource Persons: Linda Gonzalez-Hensgen, Steven Smith

Purpose: To approve the renewal of the Ad Astra annual service agreement to maintain the facilities scheduler and resource management system. Ad Astra is software that brings together facilities scheduling with event and resource management. This system is used to optimize classroom and physical plant resources and usage. The service allows viewers to check space availability on each campus, check room resources and submit space requests.

The room reservation system will be utilized to schedule classes through the Registrar’s and Admissions Office. The Division of Instruction will also utilize the system and make better use of facilities using the analytics package and improve course offerings based on actual student demand.

The web-based room scheduling system combines academic and event activities to refine both the number of sections and the times of course offerings. The planning and implementation of Ad Astra includes the integration with the College’s ERP system, Ellucian Banner. The Ad Astra software was approved by the Board in January 2013.

Explanation: Currently, EPCC is challenged to support annual enrollment growth without major facility construction. Ad Astra will assist College divisions in assessing how facilities are being used and accommodating enrollment growth while absorbing budget cuts. These results can be accomplished through metrics and goals developed by Ad Astra, including increasing enrollment ratios, improving seat-fill ratios, increasing room utilization and partnering with colleges and departments to tightly manage meeting patterns resulting in the lowest wasted space measured to date. This information will allow EPCC to optimize student access to needed courses, which will help improve graduation rates and the potential for increased savings.
