4. INFORMATION
Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson made the following statement:
"At 12 noon today, the Election Comrnittee counted the ballots cast by the members of the CCE/AFT. The tentative agreement was overwhelmingly approved. The tentative agreement can be considered as consisting of two major parts. One part pertains to the distribution of the 2.26% COLA, and the remaining part pertains to the protection and care of my classified brothers and sisters at the Bookstore. In my opinion, the conditions contained in the tentative agreement could have been arrived at without attaching the COLA to the contracting out of auxiliary services. Although I am glad to see the CCE finally get a COLA that is more than deserved, I am saddened by the fact that, for two consecutive years, the employee unit that continues to play a vital role in keeping this venerable institution afloat has been, in my opinion, held under water for no rational reason. The damage to morale cannot be measured, and the valuable time spent by the District and the CCE in negotiations cannot be regained. But I remain hopeful that future talks involving COLA or other salary funding will have more meaning and substance."

Report of the Associated Student Government
Xavier Corona welcomed everyone back from the holidays.
Xavier congratulated the Palomar College football team for winning the California state championship. ASG was proud to work with the Athletic Department in ensuring that the cheerleading squad was able to attend the game. They enthusiastically motivated the crowd and the players.
ASG is assisting with registration this week and is also supplying pencils.
ASG distributed 1,000 stress packs to this campus and about 100 to the Escondido Center. Palomar Community College District January 12, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 12
Xavier noted that he has developed a sheet outlining the accomplishments of the ASG during the Fall semester, which is available upon request. Exhibit F-5
ASG will be placing posters at the education centers notifying those students that they may also run for ASG to be a representative for that campus.
Xavier noted that the concern of inadequate lighting and call boxes was raised again during the semester break. He noted that at Southwestern, the ASG brought the same concern to their Governing Board and district; and, within two months, they started allocating funds to improve the situation.
Xavier expressed concern that, because of the construction on campus, telephones in the student union building have been out of order most of the time during the past two and one-half months.
Xavier reported that he has spent some time with Dr. George Mozes looking at some items that have been of concern to students.
Xavier recently returned from a conference for ASG presidents in Sacramento. Approximately forty ASG presidents attended to share ideas, learn about their rights, and review sections of the Education Code that affect them.

8. APPROVE LEAVES OF ABSENCE
MSC Dougherty, Jensen
RESOLUTION 98-19302
a. BE IT RESOLVED, That KELLY PATRICK, Library Media Technician I, Library Media Center, be granted a 20% personal Leave of Absence without pay and with no effect on benefits, effective January 19, 1999, through May 18, 1999. (Leave is to teach a class)
b. BE IT RESOLVED, That MARJORY ADCOCK, Graphics Specialist II, Graphic Communications, be granted a 15% personal Leave of Absence without pay and with no effect on benefits, effective January 19, 1999, through May 21, 1999. (Leave is to teach a class)
c. BE IT RESOLVED, That GLORIA KERKHOFF, Academic Evaluator/Advisor, Admissions, Records, and Veterans' Services, be granted a 15% personal Leave of Absence without pay and with no effect on benefits, effective January 19, 1999, through May 21, 1999. (To do academic advising in the Counseling department)
d. BE IT RESOLVED, That JO-ANNE LESSER, Senior Administrative Secretary, Student Support Programs, be granted a 28% personal Leave of Absence without pay and with no effect on benefits, effective January 12, 1999, through May 19, 1999. (To work as adjunct counselor/instructor)
Dr. Boggs noted that Ms. Hughes had requested information as to why these employees are given leaves of absence to teach or work in another area and who replaces the employee while they are away from their regular position. Dr. Boggs reported that we grant leaves because we must reduce the classified load for anyone who is going to take an academic job due to an interpretation of the Fair Employment Standards Act, which we have been trying to get Congress to change for several years. If we did not reduce the load of the classified employee and assigned the academic job on top of that, we would be required to pay overtime beyond the 40 hours, which would actually pay the person more than our adjunct faculty salary schedule. Joe Madrigal noted that while these persons are on leave, hourly personnel cover their positions. Diane Michael added that another reason we grant these kinds of leaves is to provide excitement and motivation to these people so that we can keep our talented classified staff. Dr. Dougherty asked about the effect of this on the employee's salary. Dr. Boggs noted that their salaries as classified staff members would be reduced by this percentage, but they would then be placed on the adjunct faculty salary schedule for the portion they are serving in an academic capacity, so they would most likely be earning more than their regular salary.

L. ITEMS PENDING
There were no items pending.
M. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS
Dr. Dougherty suggested that tee-shirts be made with the statement, "I survived the Palomar College repairs," with a picture of the clock tower and the dome in order to keep morale up during the construction. Neil Bruington has indicated that he can buy tee-shirts and silk screen the printing on them for a total of about $4 each. Dr. Dougherty suggested that, if there is interest in this idea, we notify administration. A suggestion was made that the shirts could be sold in the Bookstore or, perhaps, given to students with a high grade-point average. Palomar Community College District January 12, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 24
Dr. Nelson reported that she enjoyed the Learning Paradigm Conference. She felt it was well organized, and the quality of the presentations was outstanding. She 1s particularly enthused about the outcomes assessment that was discussed and is looking forward to hearing more about what we are doing at Palomar. She is also interested in service learning and is anxious to learn what we are doing about it. Dr. Nelson stated that she hopes the new grant writer will look at some of the offerings through the Chancellor's Office and the possibility that we could use some of these opportunities to enhance our service learning here at Palomar. Dr. Nelson noted that there are some opportunities through the Chancellor's Office for the America Reads project that go along with service learning. This would get our students out into the community to improve literacy in our local schools. When our students complete their service, they qualify for a $1,200 stipend to further their education or pay school debts. She feels this is a wonderful opportunity for Palomar to be engaged in this program.
Dr. Nelson again noted that she enjoyed the LP Conference, and some of the conversations the participants were involved in were especially exciting. She stated that she felt a great deal of pride to be associated with the Palomar community.
Mr. Corona stated that it has been a wonderful semester, and he is looking forward to the next one.

Report of Superintendent
Dr. Boggs reported that the trustees have received an invitation from MiraCosta College for the Annual SDICCCA Trustees Dinner on Thursday, February 11, at 6 p.m. We must R.S.V.P. by February 8. The cost is $15. Trustees were asked to notify Barb Baldridge or Dr. Boggs if they plan to attend.
Dr. Boggs circulated a group of photographs taken at Palomar's Education Expo held recently at North County Fair. Norma Bean spearheaded the effort, and several faculty and staff members participated. Several applications for admission and other College materials were given out. Dr. Boggs thanked all those who volunteered to be part of the Expo.
Board members have been invited to be part of a panel at the Diversity Conference, April 29, in San Diego, 2:15-3:30 p.m. Trustees interested in participating were asked to notify Doris Pichon or Dr. Boggs. Palomar College is a co-sponsor of this conference.
Dr. Boggs reported that enrollment for this semester is now .55 percent higher than last Spring semester. We increased day students by 2.2 percent, but decreased students in the extended-day program by about 6 percent. Noncredit students are up 5.3 percent. Palomar Community College District January 26, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 12
The State of the College Report should be distributed by early next week. Kendra Jeffcoat is putting the final touches on the report.
Board members were asked to complete their Form 700 - Statement of Economic Interest - and return it to Barb Baldridge by March 15.
The College is in the initial process of considering a bond campaign. A Financial Resources Task Force has been formed and has begun to talk with people who are consultants for bond campaigns. We are trying to get our facilities plan together, including all the needs of the District. We may be moving forward with a feasibility study in the future. Dr. Dougherty noted that, if the state legislature reduces the approval rate for school bonds to 50 percent, it would make our campaign far easier. Dr. Boggs noted that three or four districts have successfully passed bond issues recently. It requires a lot of work, and the College would need to be seriously focused toward that goal if we do, in fact, go forward with the bond campaign.

M. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS
Dr. Dougherty reported that Dr. White, Dr. Boggs, and he recently attended a meeting of the Inland Valleys Trustee and CEO Association in San Bernardino. He feels the group is making progress. If Palomar joins the group it will cover a large area from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean to the Tehachapi Mountains and Gorman, and from Mexico to Trona. The group is attempting to work together in a cooperative manner to create a "virtual region," in which all the community colleges from this area meet to work together.
Dr. Dougherty reported that Dr. Boggs, Kendra Jeffcoat, Wilma Owens, Teri Safranek, and he had attended a meeting of the Economic Development Association of Poway this morning. This is an attempt to put together all the governmental agencies, including Palomar College, the Poway Unified School District, and the City of Poway, plus organizations such as the Poway Chamber of Commerce and major and minor businesses. This group will meet on a regular basis to discuss how to help each other. There was a large attendance at the meeting this morning. The businesses were delighted to see this type of thing started. If a business has a problem, it will be able to come to this group to see what ideas the group has to solve its problem. One of the organizations involved is a business development group for the entire county that has federal funding. They can actually allocate money to solve some of the problems. To a large extent, the idea for this organization came from this Board last year. The group is well on its way.
Dr. Nelson stated that she felt the retreat was very productive. David Viar from CCLC/CCCT did a wonderful presentation, and Ben Echeverria presented a very informative review of the Brown Act. It was a very worthwhile meeting.
Dr. Nelson noted that Governor Davis has allocated $1 O million for a program regarding community college interns in K-12 districts. She is excited to see that and hopes it will increase our involvement and help us do some outreach to the schools, possibly by offering some literacy initiatives.
Ms. Hughes stated that she also enjoyed the workshop on Saturday as she always learns new things.
Ms. Hughes reported that she and Mr. Corona had attended a conference last week in Yorba Linda regarding lobbying and the effectiveness of higher education in reaching the legislature to get some of its needs met. Legislators indicated that they would like to hear from us to say "thank you" occasionally, instead of just whining and complaining that we need things. Ms. Hughes suggested that, when representatives of Palomar attend the legislative conference in Sacramento next month, they take little packages of Palomar's cookies, wrapped with ribbon and little cards saying that Palomar College students, staff, faculty, administrators, and Board members really appreciate what our legislators have done for us. The packages will be dropped off at their offices in Sacramento as a way of thanking them.
Ms. Hughes expressed discomfort with the process that has been used in the past to write Board goals. She feels we have many resources on campus that are not used for this purpose. We have a good Fact Book that is assembled by our Research Department that tells us what is going on here and in the community. We have an Educational Master Plan now. We were in the forefront of the Learning Paradigm, and we have terrific vision and mission statements based on it. Now, we have Partnership for Excellence, which shows the goals the state would like us to achieve. She feels all these things should be tied together, along with the concept of accountability - "how can we do this better for our students." She would like to see the Board's goal writing be more institutionalized and tie all those things together in order to be more outcomes based. Palomar Community College District January 26, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 20
Mr. Corona stated that he also enjoyed the conference in Yorba Linda. They listened to great speakers and saw some of their colleagues at work learning how to lobby legislators and use them properly. It was geared toward "be friendly and ask nicely"; don't "kick, scream, and whine." He met with some trustees, student body presidents, and some other important individuals, such as Denise Ducheny, who has done so much for Partnership for Excellence. He spoke with her regarding next year's funding and getting some insight on what students can do to make sure they keep it.
Mr. Corona stated that he would appreciate it if the ASG could get a copy of the San Diego County Schools Directory that the other Board members received tonight. They would use it as a resource because they are starting to do a lot more community outreach, not just within our campus, but with the Boys and Girls Club and local high schools.
Dr. White stated that, at the meeting of the Inland Valleys Trustee and CEO Association, she received the impression that some districts' boards do not seem to understand that they have a role of leadership. Palomar College looked very "mature" at this meeting, and she appreciates the leadership of all of our people in this regard.
Dr. Dougherty commented that he agrees that, no matter where you look, Palomar College is "leading the pack" in almost any area of education.
Mr. Corona also noted that two ASG Board members were in attendance at tonight's meeting. They are aware that everything that is done by the Governing Board affects the students. He thanked Margo Hill and Elaine James for attending the meeting.

Report of The Faculty
Bruce Bishop suggested that, for the purpose of the 1999-2000 fiscal year, the Board members give consideration to the idea of acting proactively, instead of reactively, and coming to the decision to automatically grant COLA to all of the employee groups prior to discussion of any other salary increases or adjustments to the salary schedules. Bruce stated that some of the employee groups have been through some tough times in negotiations over the last couple of years. He stated that this has caused a great deal of dissension. One of the major issues for the last couple of years has been the granting of COLA. He stated that some of the employee groups have been hurt by the situation, and many individuals have been personally upset by it. He asked that the Board make the decision as soon as possible, just for next year, to grant the COLA as soon as the College receives the funds. He stated that he doesn't feel it is necessary to establish a precedent, if the Board is unwilling to do that, although he would be in favor of it. The Faculty has already begun the meet and confer process with District representatives. They have asked that this be considered. He asked that the Governing Board not wait until the District representatives come to them. Bruce stated, "It would be really nice if the Board came forward and said that this is what they want to do for 1999-2000."
3. INFORMATION
Report of the Administrative Association
Norma Bean reported that the Administrative Association wishes to thank Dr. Boggs and the President's Advisory Council for suggesting the equalization of the Employee of the Year Awards, an item that appears on the agenda tonight.
Norma stated that the Association congratulates The Faculty upon the President's Advisory Council's recent approval to adopt new titles for faculty according to faculty developed criteria. The Association supports such endeavors in a collegial, shared governance atmosphere that allows employees to initiate self-determination on matters that have no repercussions on other employees or College operations, that are consistent with all applicable state and federal regulations, and that improve the quality of the Palomar College experience for employees and students.

Report of the Associated Student Government
Xavier Corona reported that he enjoyed his recent visit to Sacramento where he gained many new experiences and met with our legislators.
ASG had a retreat recently where they accomplished many things, such as learning to work as a team and understanding and practicing shared governance.
ASG has gained several additional members recently. Xavier introduced K. J. Tosaya, newly installed ASG Senator. Also inducted were Rose Gamble and Keiko Nishida, an international student. These new members bring ASG up to 13 active members. Tomorrow, another member will be voted upon, and two other members will be on the agenda for information. If everything goes well, they will then have a full board.
ASG is also preparing for an ASACC Conference in Washington, D.C. They will be meeting with members of congress on behalf of Palomar College and its students.
February is Black History Month. Posters have been placed in the Cafeteria regarding the events, which include speakers, ethnic foods, and the opportunity to learn more about black history.
Xavier reported that he had attended the joint meeting of the Board of Governors and CCCT Board last week in San Diego, where he had the opportunity to express the concerns of students and Palomar College regarding the ever-increasing price of books. These higher prices make ii difficult for some of our students to take more than a couple of classes at a lime. Also, books often are not re-used by instructors over a long period of time. Students are then unable to sell them in order to buy their books for the next semester. There is no warning to students that a book will not be used again. The subject of adjunct faculty not receiving paid office hours was also discussed at the meeting. This is a concern of many students as one of the most important areas to address. Xavier stated that contact with students outside the classroom is vital to student success.
Xavier thanked Dr. Boggs and Barbara Hughes for their help on the trip to the CCLC Legislative Conference last weekend in Sacramento. They met with the staffs of Senators Kelly and Morrow and Assemblymen Wayne and Kaloogian. They had the experience of spending some lime with Mr. Kaloogian, who told them he had as much time as was needed for Palomar College. They were able to express their concerns. Mr. Kaloogian stated that he was happy that funding had been allocated to widen the Twin Oaks Valley Road bridge over Highway 78. Mr. Kaloogian stated that he would be interested in helping Palomar with anything else it needs. Palomar Community College District February 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 12
Xavier expressed appreciation to the janitors who work at night for their efforts to keep the restrooms near the cafeteria in good condition. Xavier thanked Diane Michael and the Educational Master Planning Committee for changing its meeting time from 2 to 2:30 p.m. so that ASG members are able to attend. Xavier also thanked the Resource Allocation Committee for agreeing to fund the replacement of the bookstore door in order to make it more accessible to handicapped students. ASG is hoping that similar steps might be taken in the restrooms. They are still concerned about improving the lighting in the parking lots. He hopes that money could be set aside for this project on a regular basis.
6. INFORMATION
Report of Superintendent
Dr. Boggs displayed a copy of a feature story in the North County Times about Suzanne Gavin, our new TRIO Coordinator, and her husband. Suzanne's husband is employed in a similar position at CSUSM.
Dr. Boggs displayed a copy of a feature story that appeared in the North County Times recently about our Disabled Student Programs and Services ski trip. This is a heart warming report about the meaning of this trip to our disabled students. Sorne of them have never been away from home. They experience the freedom of skiing and come back thinking that if they can do that, they can do anything.
USA Today has ranked the Palomar College Football Team co-national champions with Butler County College in Kansas. Dr. Boggs congratulated the coaches and players.
As Norma Bean mentioned earlier in the meeting, Dr. Boggs noted that the President's Advisory Council has approved the following faculty title changes: "There shall be three classifications of full-time faculty members, as follows: Assistant Professor - new faculty members Associate Professor - when tenure has been granted Professor - after ten years of service if they have a doctorate; after fifteen years of service if they do not have a doctorate." Dr. Boggs noted that this does not affect Board policy.
One of our former students, Blanca Zauscher, did an internship with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, in the Summer of 1998. She was selected from a field of 120 highly qualified applicants from the United States and abroad to serve an internship with the scientific staff at either Lamont-Doherty or at Mt. Sinai Medical Center.
Dr. Boggs displayed a copy of the January 15, 1999, edition of Amateur Wrestling News, which features a photo of one of our students, Jason Bedsole, on the cover.
Dr. Boggs announced that Palomar College has been the recipient of the North County Times' 1998 Media Award. They have given us a nice plaque that we will hang in the Board Room.

Mr. Corona also asked the cost to the District to join this group, in addition to the $50 per year dues. Dr. Dougherty responded that there will be some nominal costs of mileage. They will probably have three meetings during the year, one of which will be at the CCLC annual meeting and the other at the CCCT annual meeting. Dr. Boggs noted that there may be some costs to a host district in keeping minutes, etc. Dr. Dougherty stated that dues should cover those costs.

RESOLUTION 98-19338

5. INFORMATION: ACCREDITATION MIDTERM REPORT
Exhibit 1-5
Ms. Hughes stated that she had several questions regarding the report and asked if she might address these questions to Diane Michael by telephone. Ms. Michael responded affirmatively.
Dr. Nelson stated that she has questions regarding program review. Ms. Michael stated that we are in the first cycle, and the Institutional Review Committee is getting the reports back by February 11 from the units. They will then evaluate them. We should be prepared to present a report approximately by the end of the semester as to the recommendations.
Dr. Dougherty stated that he felt the accreditation team was a little unrealistic when they said to tie program review to funding. That is a very difficult thing to do wisely. One of the districts in the Bay Area tried it for a year and a half and then abandoned it. The problems in terms of tying funding to program review can be extremely complex. Ms. Michael responded that she thinks the recommendation means tying them to our planning process, of which program review is a part. They want us to have a plan that drives the budget, rather than having the budget drive our actions. Bob Barr is bringing some proposals to the Educational Master Planning Committee for this purpose.
6. INFORMATION: PROPOSED REVISION OF BP 9.2-COMMENCEMENT OF TERM
BE IT RESOLVED, That Board Policy 9.2 be revised as follows:
BP9.2 Commencement of Term
An elected Board member will begin his/her term of office on the last first Friday in November December following his/her election. EC~ 72027
Ms. Hughes asked the reason for this change. Dr. Boggs noted that the fact that the policy as it currently reads is not correct had been discussed at the Board retreat. Subsequently, Ben Echeverria discovered that it referred to an outdated Education Code Section. Ben supplied us with the correct section of the Code that reads as the policy is revised above.
7. APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
MSC Dougherty, Hughes
RESOLUTION 98-19339
BE IT RESOLVED, That an agreement for services of an independent contractor be approved between the Palomar Community College District and Norma Shapiro, 14151 Chandler, Van Nuys, California, for the purpose of providing a "Chalk Talks Workshop" on March 6, 1999, for the ESL department.

M. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS
Dr. Nelson stated that the Learning Paradigm Teleconference was very enjoyable, and she especially enjoyed observing the technical portion and its smoothness of operation.
Dr. Nelson noted that the CCLC New Trustee Orientation last weekend in Sacramento was very beneficial for her. It was fact-filled. After a year of "hands-on," she will be ready to go again and learn even more.
Ms. Hughes thanked Kendra Jeffcoat, Food Services, and everyone else who helped prepare the gift bags of cookies and a Palomar mug for our legislators last week. It was fun to go to their offices and say, "We're just here to say thank you."
Mr. Jensen noted that he had been suffering from the flu since the Board retreat on January 23. Palomar Community College District February 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 23
Mr. Corona stated that he abstained on the vote regarding the Child-Care Center because he has received a number of complaints from parents about the two individuals whose employment was terminated. This is a serious concern to many of our students who have children at the Child care Center because their children were accustomed to dealing with those two individuals. It is upsetting to the children when their child-care provider is suddenly gone and a new person replaces them.
Mr. Corona noted that the ASG has been working to increase parking facilities. There is still not any movement taking place in the parking lot near the Wellness Center. The ASG is very much opposed to relinquishing parking spaces in the main lots.
Mr. Corona noted that he still has not received a copy of the San Diego County School and Community College Districts' Directory that he requested at the last meeting.

He plans to remind them of this issue regularly at Governing Board meetings and hopes it won't go on for very long.

Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson made the following statement:
"Although I didn't know Virgil Bergman, I went to his memorial service yesterday. I was very impressed with all of the accolades that were bestowed upon him. It was obvious that he was very well liked and appreciated.
"I invited Ms. Sue Prior, of San Diego United Way, to last week's classified staff meeting. I wanted her to speak to the people that were present and also to share the video that was shown at the United Way kickoff in the staff lounge. Classified participation in the United Way program is very low; and I asked the classified staff to please not Jet our differences with the District during the past two years have a negative impact on our need to support the United Way campaign. Palomar Community College District February 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 9
"The CCE Executive Council will be meeting with Dr. Boggs this week for the purpose of reviewing the results of the CCE Employee Morale Survey. We will be meeting with Dr. Miyamoto within the next week. Approximately 300 surveys were sent out and 118 were returned. There are some interesting comments that the staff and the District can work on to make things a little better. There are probably some things we have taken for granted that are issues with the staff. We are still getting some stragglers in and they will be included with the rest of the results. I will be sharing these with the Board after we have our meeting with Dr. Boggs. Hopefully, we can come out with a plan where both the CCE and the District can work together in order to improve morale on both sides of the fence.
"I am sure that everyone has heard that Palomar College lost another member of our family this past weekend. Bobby Janes died this past Saturday. He was a faithful union member, and he will be missed. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family. The funeral service will be held tomorrow, February 24, at one o'clock, at Poway Bernardo Mortuary, 13243 Poway Road, Poway. I will be going to present a resolution to the family from the union. I'm sure the family can use everybody's prayers and condolences. Thank you."

Ben Echeverria reported that Mr. Corpora has elected not to accept his share of the pre production fees to which he is entitled and will, instead, use them to cover additional production costs incurred by the annual productions required for the course. Dr. Dougherty stated that he feels this is a very generous act on Mr. Corpora's part.
The Vote was unanimous.

Ms. Hughes stated that she is glad to see that we are adding more full-lime faculty members.
Dr. Nelson asked if these positions were approved through one of our regular processes and requested an explanation of the criteria used to determine which departments should get additional full-time faculty members. Jack Miyamoto stated that the Staff Priorities Committee, which is made up of the various constituencies of the faculty and staff, received all of the input from the departments. They considered the availability of adjunct faculty, the size of the departments, the attrition that has taken place in departments, and student demand. This year, there was also input from the Partnership for Excellence Task Force. Palomar Community College District February 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 24
Dr. Dougherty suggested that, in the future, the faculty consider requiring mentoring for all new faculty members. Bruce Bishop stated that the faculty has a voluntary mentoring program now, and each new faculty member is assigned a mentor. Mark Vernoy noted that we also have a very strong professional development program to assist new faculty members. Many of the workshops that they do throughout the year are focused on new faculty members. Information regarding the mentoring program is available in the Faculty Manual. Dr. Dougherty felt it would be wise to mention the program either during the interview or during orientation so that it doesn't come as a surprise.
Dr. Boggs added that it is too bad that we cannot hire more new full-time faculty because we have some very well-demonstrated needs in several departments on campus. It is a matter of not having the funding we need to hire the faculty we should have.
Mark Vernoy pointed out that the money for these new faculty members is coming from the Partnership for Excellence Funds, so it is unlikely we will be able to do this again next year unless the Governor significantly increases the amount. Dr. Boggs pointed out that we could receive additional funds if we start growing again. Dr. Dougherty stated that there is sentiment throughout the state that we have to find funding for more full time faculty. Dr. Boggs stated that there will probably be a bill before the legislature to hire more full-time faculty. Ms. Hughes noted that the state would have to put some money behind such an action.
The Vote was unanimous.
L. ITEMS PENDING
There were no items pending.
Bruce Bishop thanked the Board for providing coffee and cookies for everyone attending tonight's meeting.

The Faculty's Meet and Confer Committee will meet with District representatives tomorrow to continue the process. They will reiterate their concern and request for COLA to be granted automatically in the paychecks as soon as the District receives it from the state. Bruce asked for reactions from the Governing Board, either individually or as a group, to this request.
Dr. Dougherty stated that this is a meet and confer issue by state law. Other than speaking in generalities, he felt the Board really should not get into it.
Xavier Corona commented that he feels the Board should stop wasting its time about this issue and get it done. The employees at Palomar are granted the COLA from the state; and when the funds are available, they should be distributed to the employees.

Report of the Administrative Association
P. J. DeMaris reported that the Administrative Association is working with its membership to help define the positions in the four subgroups that it represents, develop consistency in the awarding of titles among all four groups based on the type of work being done, and deciding in which of the four groups that position belongs. They are also planning a retreat in June. Dr. White asked what definitions the group is seeking. P. J. responded that some of the definitions are in the Education Code, and that clearly indicates to which of the four groups positions should be assigned. In other places, it is less clear. There seems to be inconsistency in titles among the four groups. They hope to better clarify and have an understanding as to which of the four groups any position should be assigned and to achieve consistency within the titles for each of the four subgroups.

Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson stated that he has received some very encouraging signs from the District that this year's COLA negotiations will not be drawn out. He hopes the morale will be boosted as a result of that. The CCE has already asked for consideration to start negotiations.
Ernie asked that the following resolution of the CCE/AFT, which was read at the funeral service of Bobby Janes, be entered into the minutes of this meeting:
RESOLUTION IN MEMORIUM BOBBY EARL JANES, JR.
WHEREAS, God in His infinite Wisdom, has seen fit to call our friend and fellow Union Brother, Bobby Earl Janes, Jr., to his reward, and
WHEREAS, Bobby Earl Janes, Jr., has on numerous occasions demonstrated his belief in the importance of the Council of Classified Employees Local 4522 as it related to his fellow Union and non-Union brothers and sisters at Palomar College, and
WHEREAS, to those of his immediate relatives and friends, who are most heart-stricken at the loss we have all sustained, we have but little of this world's consolation to offer; we can only sincerely, deeply, and most affectionately sympathize with you in your bereavement. Therefore, be it
Resolved, that in the death of Bobby Earl Janes, Jr., Local 4522 has lost an active and beloved member, his family has lost a loving sibling, his mother a devoted son, the community an upright, honorable, and conscientious citizen who knew his duty and dared to do it. And be it further
Resolved, that a copy of this RESOLUTION be forwarded to the Palomar Community College Governing Board in order that it may be included in the minutes of the March 9, 1999, meeting. And be it further
Resolved, that a copy of this RESOLUTION be entered in the minutes and the archives of the Council of Classified Employees Local 4522. And be it finally
Resolved, that the original RESOLUTION be presented to the mother, Eleanor Janes.
Respectfully submitted on this day of February 24, 1999,

Report of the Associated Student Government
Xavier Corona apologized for missing the last meeting because he was attending the ACCT National Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. He had an opportunity to learn a great deal from the presentations and from meeting trustees from throughout the United States. He also met the Governor of New Jersey, and he was invited to attend a private meeting of the Congressional Representatives from California with Governor Gray Davis in the basement of the Capitol. Representatives Cunningham and Packard introduced him to everyone in the room as a community college leader from Palomar College.
Xavier reported that the ASG now has a full board and is able to keep the office open a longer period of time. Night students are being better served because there are now night students on the ASG.
This month, the ASG is honoring Women's History Month. The cafeteria has been decorated, and several events will be held in honor of the celebration.
ASG is planning on providing a weekly forum for students to ask questions and share concerns and viewpoints. This will begin in April, following the ASAAC Conference in Washington, D.C. They plan on getting input from the students on their feelings regarding Pell Grants and Financial Aid so they may be better prepared before visiting the Senators and Representatives in Washington.
ASG has set a goal of doing more community outreach and plans on visiting high schools and middle schools.
ASG hopes to pay for a scholarship for students every year.
ASG is planning on having a suggestion box.
ASG would like to have textbooks in the Library for those students who are unable to purchase them, or whose instructors did not provide a copy for the reference section, or whose instructors did not turn in their orders on time.
ASG is currently working on the Springfest, where various bands from Palomar College will be playing on campus. Several of these bands have made CDs and are quite talented.
ASG plans to honor the memory of Bobby Janes by allocating funds to purchase a plaque and a tree to be planted in his memory. Students who have passed away will also be honored in this manner.
ASG members who serve on shared governance committees are now providing written and verbal reports regarding the actions taken at those committee meetings. Xavier stated that it is unfortunate that ASG had not had a representative on the Curriculum Committee; consequently, they were not aware of matters that will be discussed at tonight's meeting. Palomar Community College District March 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 9
ASG remains concerned about the lighting on campus and feels that something needs to be done about it. They feel it would be unfortunate if any bad incident were to occur because of poor lighting or unavailability of emergency call boxes in numerous areas. They feel we need to prevent accidents, not wait for one to happen before taking action on this matter. Xavier pointed out that, for the past ten years, $10,000 is budgeted per year for improvements in the parking lots, which has allowed them to re-light the parking lots, resurface the lots as needed, stripe the lots, or put in call boxes or ticket machines.
Dr. Dougherty stated that, unfortunately, that is not enough money to make all the improvements that need to be made. This would require about $200,000. The alternative is to consider something like a bond election in a couple of years to make these improvements. The infrastructure change will improve lighting and call boxes on campus but not in the parking Jots. He stated that we are lucky not to have had anyone murdered in our parking lots. Xavier stated that he is afraid if we wait until a bond election, it might be too late. He feels we should be proactive and avoid the possibility of an unfortunate incident happening.
Jerry Patton noted that Mike Ellis will present a report at the next Board meeting to give a better understanding of the areas upon which the District should concentrate. His staff has been trying to work on these problems and will be able to show us the foot-candle power that is required by state law, so that we have a better idea of how much money will be required to rectify problems. Mike will also report on the fairly substantial improvements that have been made each year. More than the budgeted $10,000 is spent each year because Mike has been able to set aside other funds for this purpose.

1. INFORMATION: COMMUNITY COLLEGE GOVERNANCE POLICIES - A JOINT STATEMENT OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS AND TRUSTEES OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS !CCCTl - DRAFT
Dr. Boggs noted that CCCT would like the Board to take a position either to support this or to suggest some changes.
Ms. Hughes stated that she is in favor of supporting this statement. She feels there is a need for some formal delineation of responsibilities, and this seems to retain the local Governing Board's authority in places where sorne people would like to take it away.
Mr. Corona stated that, when this document was first presented at the joint meeting of the Board of Governors and CCCT, he had suggested that some changes be made so that the vision would be geared more toward students and how it would help retain students by maintaining local control. He suggested some changes to Chancellor Nussbaum and David Viar of CCLC. Palomar Community College District March 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 11
Ms. Hughes asked Xavier to provide his recommendations for changes prior to the next meeting so that the Board members might have an opportunity to study them in advance.
Dr. Dougherty stated that one of the things in this draft that he thinks should be there involves districts that get into financial trouble and an early-warning system to allow help to be provided. He feels it is important to identify those districts at the earliest possible time so that changes may be made before they get into serious trouble. The Accreditation Commission is also looking at some kind of early-warning system.
This will be on the agenda for information/action at the next meeting. Exhibit 1-1

5. INFORMATION: CANDIDATES FOR ELECTION TO CCCT BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dr. Dougherty stated that, instead of having two seats open for non-incumbents, there are four. Incumbents on that board are usually re-elected because they have done an outstanding job. He suggested that the Board consider voting for Charles Hayden from College of the Desert, as well as all the people from San Diego County because he feels it is important to have one or two voices on that board.
Mr. Corona suggested that the Board consider representatives from other districts outside of San Diego County, because the CCCT board bases its opinion on demographics. They want to be certain the entire state is represented. He feels that the odds of electing another person from this County, in addition to the one from Southwestern College who was elected last year, are slim. He feels we should see what members from other districts the Board would like to endorse and start creating relationships with them.
Dr. Nelson recommended Don Jenkins from Rio Hondo College. He has been on their board for a long time and has been very active statewide. He is a very seasoned, knowledgeable person who is committed to community colleges.
The vote will take place at the April 13, 1999, Governing Board meeting. Exhibit 1-5.

MSC Dougherty, Hughes
RESOLUTION 98-19385
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Governing Board of the Palomar Community College District hereby receives bids submitted on March 8, 1999, for the work of construction to renovate and replace HVAC in Buildings M, 0, CH, Bookstore, and Theatre, and for LS- 3, S-11, Building F-Photo Lab and 0-Building (domestic hot water) [the "Project"] in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by TMAD Engineers, Inc., as previously approved by the Board; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That Cal-Air, Inc., of San Marcos, California, be and is hereby declared to be the apparent lowest responsive bidder for this Project for a total contract price of $546,487.00; and that a contract for this amount is hereby authorized with this contractor, on condition that the contractor deliver to the Office of Counsel, Contracts, and Special Projects all required bonds, insurance, and certifications required by the contract documents. Funding is from State Scheduled Maintenance and/or State Hazardous Substance Removal Programs. Exhibit 1-8
Ben Echeverria reported that only one bid was received, and it was more than the budgeted amount, at $1,571,013.00. It was, therefore, recommended that the Board accept the aforementioned bid, dropping off the following projects: Bookstore - $88,401.00, S-11 - $64,716.00, M Building - $131,706.00, and Howard Brubeck Theatre - $739,703.00, leaving a bid balance of $546,487.00. Palomar Community College District March 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 15
Dr. Boggs stated that we are having problems getting bids because there is so much work available that many potential bidders are electing not to respond to a request for a bid or to bid very high. In this case, we can cut the project back considerably so that we can stay within the budget.
Mike Ellis pointed out that two of the items that are being cut back are actually being deferred because we have another 1% years in which to rebid and reschedule them. We are cutting S-11 because that is currently the dental lab, and there are plans to move this program to the Escondido Center. We are also cutting the Bookstore project. We are on a very tight time line. The biggest problem is that this project has been waiting for the DSA approval for 1% years, which has taken up half of our time line. We have three years after they award ii to select the engineer, give the design, get it approved by the DSA, begin the project, and get it done.

15. APPROVE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN PALOMAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT AND PALOMAR COLLEGE FOUNDATION TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT TO AUTHORIZE THE FOUNDATION THE FUND RAISING AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COLLEGE'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
MSC Dougherty, Hughes
RESOLUTION 98-19390
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Governing Board approves the memorandum of understanding between the Palomar Community College District and Palomar College Foundation to enter into an agreement to authorize the Foundation the fund-raising and fiscal responsibility of the College's scholarship program. Palomar Community College District March 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 19
Under this arrangement, the Foundation will:
1. Coordinate and conduct all activities (fund raising, soliciting donors, cultivating donors) relative to securing, maintaining, and increasing scholarship funds. 2. Establish scholarship criteria, selection, award amounts, and disbursement guidelines with donors. 3. Maintain receipt of funds and records for respective donor scholarship programs. 4. Prepare and distribute all scholarship checks to scholarship recipients; distribute to scholarship recipients checks received at the College that are made payable directly to the recipient. 5. Send award acknowledgment letters with checks to scholarship recipients 6. Coordinate scholarship recipient donor thank-you letters 7. Solicit current donors to increase scholarship funds and establish new donor scholarships. 8. Maintain bank and investment accounts in accordance with donor's stipulations. 9. Plan, organize, and conduct annual scholarship awards night. 10. Maintain and update database of donors and potential donors.
In addition, the Foundation agrees to maintain applicable records, financial transactions and investments within generally accepted accounting principles and under the appropriate California Government Code. The Foundation agrees to hold the College harmless, defend the College, and pay for any judgment for the negligence of the Foundatio,; or Foundation employees.
Under this arrangement, the District will:
1. Coordinate Scholarship Committee that has the responsibilities of selecting recipients according to the donor criteria; participating in the scholarships awards night ceremony activities, such as announcing awards and recipients to the donors, families, and audience. 2. Actively market scholarship opportunities to a wide variety of potential and current students at feeder schools and off-campus centers. 3. Communicate, educate, and assist current and potential students in obtaining scholarships offered at the College and from various outside sources. 4. Remit $25,000 to the Foundation for services rendered under this agreement.
This arrangement shall be in effect for one year only, beginning March 10, 1999. If at the end of one year, the College wishes to continue this arrangement, the College shall process a new agreement for a subsequent new year. The College shall be the sole determinant in the renewal of this agreement.
Dr. Dougherty asked the actual cost to the College to provide staff to perform these scholarship activities in-house. Jerry Patton reported that Mary San Agustin would need at least one more person to adequately manage the scholarships; and this, including benefits, would add over $40,000 to the expenses of the College.
Mary San Agustin reported that her department has never had the responsibility of soliciting donors for the scholarship program, and they have been able to stay "status quo" with the existing donors. They feel their office should advertise and recruit students to apply for scholarships, but they do not have the staff or the expertise to solicit donors or provide fund-raising events. Palomar Community College District March 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 20
Ms. Hughes asked if the Scholarship Committee that selects the recipients would still be in effect. Dr. Boggs reported affirmatively. Ms. Hughes feels that it should be very clear that the $25,000 the District would pay the Foundation is not scholarship money and that we are not taking money away from student scholarships to fund the disbursement of them.
Bruce Bishop asked if anyone could speak to the practices of other institutions in terms of to what extent they fund their foundations for this type of thing or if the foundation funds it from the funds that it collects. Dr. Boggs reported that it is quite common to have the fund-raising part of scholarships in a foundation. Donors tend to give the money and designate it for scholarships. They don't want it to go to administering the scholarships. Bruce asked if there is other money within our Foundation that could be utilized to administer scholarships. Dr. Boggs reported that there is a certain amount of discretionary money, but most people give money with a specific purpose in mind. Our fund raisers provide the discretionary money. Dale Wallenius noted that about 85 percent of the money coming into our Foundation is designated; 15 percent is undesignated. That 15 percent is utilized for staffing needs, grants, faculty awards dinners, and similar things that come up. YMCAs and universities always scramble for undesignated money as most donors want to see their money used for specific needs.
Dale stated that the Foundation has the staff to perform the duties in question, and the $25,000 would help offset the staffing needs to administer designated funds. We cannot use scholarship moneys for this purpose. Since the Foundation has taken over the scholarship program, it has expanded the program to 64 new scholarships worth $118,000; and they would like to increase this amount even further.
Ms. Hughes stated that she agrees that it is important for the Foundation to be self supporting. The College formerly performed these duties, and then the Foundation was given the responsibility. This entailed many hours of work that were shifted from the College to the Foundation. and those hours must be paid.
Mr. Corona stated that he is concerned about what would happen if the administrative costs of the program exceed $25,000. Would the Foundation then request additional funds? Would the Foundation cease the service when it exceeds $25,000? Dale Wallenius stated that no more than $25,000 would be requested. Before the transfer of responsibility, the College was administering 151 scholarships and the Foundation was administering 60, or approximately 40 percent. There are presently 275 scholarships offered at Palomar College. Each one has very specific requirements from grade-point average to entrance requirements, etc., and they need a great deal of attention. It was overwhelming for Financial Aid to handle these scholarships, so the District approached the Foundation for assistance in assuming this responsibility. Mr. Corona stated that, because this is a one-year test program, it is vital that the Foundation keep complete records indicating how they have helped the students. He feels the students would be in support of the Foundation handling the scholarships if these conditions were met.
Dr. Dougherty stated that it is important that the entire process be done very well, including apprising students of the scholarships that are available. He agrees that this is probably the best way to handle scholarships.
Ms. Hughes stated that she plans lo vote for this tonight, but she would have appreciated seeing it as an information item before it came as an action item.
The Vote was unanimous. Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye Palomar Community College District March 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 21

Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson made the following statement:
"On March 12-14th. I was in San Francisco for the purpose of attending the California Federation of Teachers 5y'h annual convention. This was a special occasion for rne because the CFT appointed me to be the chair of the Classified Employees Issues committee. My committee's responsibility was to review the various resolutions submitted by various CFT locals from the state of California. I found this experience to be both enlightening and threatening. The submitted resolutions included:
1. Class-Size Limits For Special Day Classes (The Early Childhood/K-12 Council) 2. A.DA Reimbursement For Suspended Students (Salinas Valley Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 1020) 3. Social Security and Hourly Teachers (San Jose Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 957)
"As one can imagine, various resolutions can generate a Jot of enthusiastic discussion and creative expressive language. Overall, I feel the convention was an overwhelming success and concluded on a very positive note. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 8
"I might add that a few Locals were accompanied by members of their respective Governing Boards. And with that in mind, I would like forthe members of Palomar's Governing Board to give this some thought because as soon as I get the details of the year 2000 CFT convention, I will be extending a personal invitation to each of you. I am sure that you will find it to be a worthwhile experience.
"During last week's Classified Staff meeting, I introduced Dr. Jack Miyamoto. His comments and remarks were very well received. My thanks to Jack for taking time to come and be a part of our meeting.
"Also, during the meeting, I wanted to acknowledge their past and ongoing concern and support for the Classified Staff that has been shown by Dr. Mark Vernoy, Bruce Bishop, and P.J. DeMaris. On behalf of the Classified Staff I presented them with a Certificate of Appreciation that acknowledges the same. I also presented a Certificate of Appreciation to Gary Warth who is a reporter for the North County Times. I feel that Gary has been very objective in his reporting of classified issues here at Palomar College. Bruce was not able to attend the meeting, so I have his certificate with me tonight. When making out-of-the-classified-unit acknowledgments, there is always the possibility of forgetting someone. And, unfortunately, I forgot about Norma Bean, Vice President of the Administrative Association, who has been very supportive. The picture frames for Norma's and Bruce's certificates are at home and I will bring them in tomorrow."
5. INFORMATION
Report of the Associated Student Government
Xavier Corona reported that ASG is accepting election packets for the coming year. Eight of the twelve taken out have been returned. It is hoped that efforts to disseminate election packets will increase the number of students voting.
Women's History Month is nearing an end. Many speakers and presenters were on campus.
ASG is celebrating Springfest. Food will be given to both day and night students on Wednesday. Flyers have been posted on campus. At the same time as the food is being distributed, a new survey will be circulated regarding ASG and its events. Hopefully, this will help next year's ASG to continue improving student government here at Palomar College.
The Battle of the Bands is currently taking place. The first band performed today; another will perform on March 25.
Tomorrow, ASG officers will be auctioning themselves off to be purchased by faculty, staff, or students. All the money that is raised will go to the food bank on campus. The purchasers will be given the opportunity to eat lunch with the ASG officers they purchase, at which time the officer and the purchaser may get to know each other better and learn more about what student government does.
Several representatives have gone into classrooms and worked with counselors and staff members in drafting letters for students to write to legislators regarding their concerns with financial aid, Pell Grants, and child care. These letters will be presented to Dianne Feinstein, Randy Cunningham, and Ron Packard when ASG members attend the ASAAC Convention in Washington, D.C. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 9
ASG is attempting to encourage as many students as possible to attend the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) Third International Conference, which will be held in San Diego April 6-8. Palomar has been invited to bring as many students as possible to attend the conference. The conference is not limited to Hispanic students. The objective of the conference is to promote higher education. This will afford students the opportunity to attend an international job fair where Fortune 500 companies and many government agencies will be present to allow students to learn more about obtaining internships, scholarships, and advanced degrees at no cost to the students, providing they work for a certain company. The cost of all of our students' materials and food will be paid by HACU, along with a $25 stipend for their gas money.
The ASG newsletter is in its final stages prior to publication. It is hoped that this document will assist future ASG members in making our student government better.

I. NEW BUSINESS
1. INFORMATION/DISCUSSION: CALIFORNIA CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Dr. Dougherty stated again that he does not feel regionalization is a good idea. There are too many things against it, and there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing. That is why this College belongs to two regional organizations. He feels we should state that we do not consider regionalization to be as good as the present system. He agrees with Constance Carroll and others who have said that "we have very bright people working very hard to make a system work, which has major inefficiencies and problems in the basic system." There are some major problems in the Education Code and in some of the ways we do business. Getting things approved by the state architect is cumbersome and results in delays. When this comes to the Board for action, Dr. Dougherty feels we should point out those items that we consider to be major flaws.
Ms. Hughes stated that she would not vote for any resolution that endorses this proposal. The institutions that the proposal criticizes most are the community colleges, not anything else. The proposal says that we don't have any accountability, and many community colleges have difficulty moving from the type of decision-making structure found in K-12 to the more collegial one typical of the universities. Ms. Hughes does not know of a university that operates well under the collegial system, whatever their definition of it is. Ms. Hughes feels that the entire structure that is proposed for the community colleges is ridiculous with all the appointees who would be running the local colleges. The writers of the proposal say this will take the politics out of community colleges, but Ms. Hughes feels it would make it worse. She feels they are trying to punish the entire system for a few colleges that have gone astray and created problems for themselves. She does not feel it is right for them to do that. One of the proposals is to implement a state-wide collective bargaining system. Ms. Hughes asked how the Palomar faculty feels about this. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 13
Mark Vernoy stated that the Senate has not discussed this issue. Because we don't do collective bargaining here, we would be forced into a collective bargaining situation. The last time the faculty at Palomar was asked to do that, they resoundingly defeated that suggestion. He feels that, generally, the faculty would not be in favor of it. Mark stated that he agrees totally with Ms. Hughes comments regarding this document. He feels the people who set out to write this document thought that they were doing the right thing, but they turned out a document that is very much ill-conceived and doesn't reflect what most community colleges are like in California today. He wonders where they got their information. However, Mark feels that Palomar's faculty is in the extreme minority where the question of collective bargaining is concerned. Ms. Hughes stated that it appears they are proposing a state-wide salary system. Mark stated that he thinks that most of the unions are state wide and are affiliated with CTA. He feels sure that CTA would have no problem with this. He doesn't like the idea, himself, "because it seems like we get along OK here."
Mr. Corona stated that he thinks the students would also be the largest group affected if we were to change to regional control. He feels each district has its own special needs. He feels resolution to immediate concerns would take longer under regionalization as they would be putting another obstacle in our way. ASG has talked briefly about this, and he is certain that they would be totally opposed to it.
Mark Vernoy encouraged the Board to write a motion condemning everything this proposal states.
Dr. Dougherty stated that a letter should be sent stating that the proposal has major and unacceptable flaws. The major issues on which we disagree, as well as our reasons, should then be discussed individually so that it is not viewed simply as a negative response. One thing he disagrees with is granting the authority to people from off campus to choose a new president as this should be done by people from within the community. A candidate who fits well at one college may not fit well at another, and only local representatives could make that judgment.
Dr. Boggs was asked to draft a response and bring it back to the next meeting. He replied that he is not certain to whom the response should be addressed as the Commission has been disbanded. He feels we need to look for legislation that might be based on some of these principles and be certain to oppose or support the ones about which we feel strongly.
Dr. White asked where this Commission came from in the first place. Dr. Boggs stated that it was privately funded. It had a former CPEC director as the staff person, John Peterson, who was retired from the Accrediting Commission, and Lucy Killea, retired State Senator, as some of its members. Very few active educators served on the California Citizens Commission on Higher Education. It was developed with an intent to influence the new Governor and the legislature to change the law to accommodate these principles.
Mr. Corona stated that he would like to encourage that we both write a letter and condemn these recommendations. He stated that if we get the word out and take a stand on this right away, by drafting opposition through something that passes through our Board, it will bring attention to our concerns. Consequently, other community colleges will be aware that we are taking a stand, and we are encouraging them to do the same. Looking at changing policy or making laws so that this doesn't go into effect would also be helpful. Creating a law requires a long period of time. The more people that are gained along the way in support of this, the more power that we will have once it does become law. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 14
Ernie Carson stated that he would have a concern from the classified staff standpoint when it talks about display 12 in the document, regarding where substantial sums were wasted. For example, it says, under classified employees, an employee employed five days a week should be entitled to 12 days leave of absence for illness or injury. Ernie is concerned about what they mean by "substantial sums" being wasted. Dr. Boggs stated that he thinks this section is just trying to point out that the Education Code is excessively detailed and that those kinds of things might be better left to individual colleges or a state Board of Governors, rather than being in the Education Code.
Ms. Hughes suggested that a letter be sent to the Board of Governors and state that we would hope that they would not be considering this when they are looking at new legislation. Dr. Boggs suggested that we go through the major issues that the Board would like to comment on and draft such a letter. He feels there are some things that the Board may want to support, such as funding or getting a fair share of Proposition 98.
Dr. Boggs stated that there are many ways to look at the state-wide collective bargaining issue. One perspective is from the institution, and most of us would not favor collective bargaining with the faculty. But if it is examined from a state-wide perspective, and you look at all the money that is being spent by each individual district negotiating with all the employee groups, many of them are mandated costs that are billed back to the State of California. There are 71 different districts negotiating, rather than one state agency. Usually, there is a great deal of animosity or negative feelings during collective bargaining processes that are focused on the local level. Dr. Boggs noted that these are two very different perspectives on collective bargaining.
Dr. Dougherty commented that even if we had collective bargaining for salaries, things like health benefits vary immensely from one district to another. It would be very difficult to have collective bargaining state wide, putting everybody into one health plan state wide. That would not, in his opinion, be the best in many districts.
Dr. Boggs will attempt to draft an item-by-item response on the major things on which the Board would like to comment and bring it back to a future Board meeting.

The District authorizes and requests the Authority to issue Bonds pursuant to and as provided in the Indenture as finally executed. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 21
The District acknowledges that the Authority, acting upon the advice of the Financial Advisor, may seek such credit enhancement for the Note and for the Series of Bonds related thereto as it deems necessary or desirable. The District agrees to be bound by the terms of such credit enhancement, if any, and the agreements related thereto. The District's approval of such credit enhancement, if any, and the agreements related thereto shall be conclusively evidenced by execution and delivery of the Pricing Confirmation. Each Authorized Representative is authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the District, all agreements related to credit enhancement for the Note and for the Series of Bonds related thereto that such Authorized Representative shall approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by execution and delivery of such agreements.
The Authorized Representatives of the District are hereby authorized and directed to provide the Financial Advisor with such information relating to the District as the Financial Advisor shall reasonably request for inclusion in the Preliminary Official Statement and Official Statement related to the Bonds. Upon inclusion of the information relating to the District therein, the Preliminary Official Statement is, except for certain omissions permitted by Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Rule"), hereby deemed final within the meaning of the Rule with respect to the District. If, at any time prior to the execution of the Pricing Confirmation, any event occurs as a result of which the information contained in the Preliminary Official Statement related to the District might include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit lo state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the District shall promptly notify the Financial Advisor.
The District agrees to pay or cause to be paid, in addition to the amounts payable under the Note, its share of any fees or expenses of the Trustee in connection with its participation in the Program, as determined in accordance with the Indenture. Such additional fees and expenses will be paid by the District within twenty-five (25) days of receipt by the District of a bill therefor from the Trustee.
Section 6. Transfer; Exchange. The Note shall initially be registered in the name of the Authority. Thereafter, the Note may not be transferred or exchanged except for a transfer to a provider of credit enhancement for the Note or for the Series of Bonds related thereto as provided by the terms of such credit enhancement and any agreement related thereto. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 22
Section 7. Deposit of Note Proceeds; No Arbitrage. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Note, in an amount equal to the District's share of the costs of issuance (including any fees and expenses incurred in connection with credit enhancement) of the Note and of the Series of Bonds, related to the Note, shall be deposited in the Costs of Issuance Fund established under the Indenture and expended as directed by the Authority on costs of issuance as provided in the Indenture. The remainder of the proceeds from the sale of the Note shall be deposited in the Proceeds Fund established under the Indenture and, until transferred pursuant to a requisition of the District, be invested in Permitted Investments (as defined in and under the terms of the Indenture) as directed by the Authority. While they are on deposit in the Proceeds Fund, proceeds from the sale of the Note shall constitute additional security for repayment of the Note. Upon requisition submitted to the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, the Note proceeds deposited in the Proceeds Fund shall be transferred to or on behalf of the District for any purpose for which the District is authorized to use and expend moneys. The District hereby covenants that it will make no use of the proceeds of the Note that would cause the Note to be an "arbitrage bond" under Section 148 of the Code; and, to that end, so long as the Note is outstanding, the District, and all of its officers having custody or control of such proceeds, shall comply with all requirements of said section, including restrictions on the use and investment of proceeds of the Note and the rebate of a portion of investment earnings on certain amounts, including proceeds of the Note, if required, to the Federal government, and of the Income Tax Regulations of the United States Treasury promulgated thereunder or under any predecessor provisions, to the extent that such regulations are, at the time, applicable and in effect, so that the Note will not be an "arbitrage bond."
Section 8. Payment of Note.
(a) Source of Payment. The principal amount of the Note, together with the interest thereon, shall be payable from taxes, income, revenue, cash receipts and other moneys which are received by the District during fiscal year 1999-2000 and which are available therefor. The Note shall be a general obligation of the District, and to the extent the Note is not paid from the Pledged Revenues defined below, the Note shall be paid with interest thereon from any other moneys of the District lawfully available therefor, as provided herein and by law.
(b) Pledged Revenues. As security for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Note, the District hereby pledges certain unrestricted revenues (as further described in the following paragraph, the "Pledged Revenues") which are received by the District in the months specified in the Pricing Confirmation as Pledge Months (each a "Pledge Month" and collectively the "Pledge Months"). The term "unrestricted revenues" shall mean taxes, income, revenue, cash receipts, and other money of the District as provided in Section 53856 of the Act, which are intended as receipts for the general fund of the District and which are generally available for the payment of current expenses and other obligations of the District.
With respect to each Pledge Month, the amount of unrestricted revenues which shall constitute Pledged Revenues will be equal to a percentage of the Principal Amount plus a percentage of the interest due on the Note on the applicable interest payment dates, including maturity, such percentages, and dates to be specified in the Pricing Confirmation. Any one of the Authorized Representatives of the District is hereby authorized to approve the determination of the Pledge Months and the amount of Pledged Revenues with respect to each Pledge Month by executing and delivering the Pricing Confirmation, such execution and delivery to be conclusive evidence of approval by this Board and such Authorized Representative. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 23
The principal of the Note and the interest thereon shall be a first lien and charge against and shall be payable from the first moneys received by the District from such Pledged Revenues, as provided by law.
In the event that there are insufficient unrestricted revenues received by the District to permit the deposit into the Repayment Account, as hereinafter defined, of the full amount of Pledged Revenues to be deposited from unrestricted revenues in any Pledge Month, then the amount of any deficiency shall be satisfied and made up from any other moneys of the District lawfully available for the repayment of the Note and the interest thereon.
(c) Deposit of Pledged Revenues in Repayment Account. Pledged Revenues shall be held by the District in a special account within the District's general fund designated as the District's "1999 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note Repayment Account" (the "Repayment Account") and applied as directed in this resolution. Any moneys placed in the Repayment Account shall be for the benefit of the holder of the Note, and until the Note and all interest thereon are paid or until provision has been made for the payment of the Note at maturity with interest to maturity, the moneys in the Repayment Account shall be applied only for the purposes for which the Repayment Account is created. Upon the written request of the Trustee or any provider of credit enhancement for the Note or the Series of Bonds related thereto, the District shall, within ten (1 O) Business Days following its receipt of such request, provide written evidence that the deposits to the Repayment Account required by this resolution have been made. In addition, the District shall provide such additional financial information as may be required by any provider of credit enhancement for the Note or the Series of Bonds related thereto.
(d) Disbursement of Moneys in Repayment Account. The District shall, to the extent necessary to pay the principal of and the interest on the Note, cause the moneys in the Repayment Account to be transferred to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the date that interest on the Note must be paid, as applicable, and prior to the maturity of the Note. Moneys so transferred to the Trustee shall be deposited in the appropriate Bond Payment Fund established under the Indenture and applied to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Note when due and at maturity, as provided in the Indenture. In the event that moneys in the Repayment Account are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Note when due and at maturity, such moneys shall be applied first to pay interest on the Note and second to pay principal of the Note. Any moneys remaining in or accruing to the Repayment Account after the principal of and the interest on the Note have been paid, or provision for such payment has been made, shall be transferred to the general fund of the District, subject to any other disposition required by the Indenture.
Section 9. Execution and Delivery of Note. The Note shall be executed by the manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Representative and countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary or the Clerk of the Board. The proper officers of the District are hereby requested to deliver the Note to the Authority.
Section 10. Covenants and Warranties.
(a) It is hereby covenanted and warranted by the District that all representations and recitals contained in this resolution are true and correct.
(b) The District shall not incur any indebtedness secured by a pledge of its unrestricted revenues unless such pledge is subordinate in all respects to the pledge of unrestricted revenues hereunder. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 24
(c) So long as any Bonds issued in connection with the Note are outstanding, the District will not create or suffer to be created any pledge of or lien on the Note other than the pledge and lien of the Indenture.
(d) The District and its appropriate officials have duly taken, or will take, all proceedings necessary to be taken by them for the levy, collection and enforcement of the Pledged Revenues in accordance with the law and for carrying out the provisions of this resolution and the Note.
Section 11. Ratification and Approval of Past and Future Actions. All actions heretofore taken by the officers and agents of the District with respect to the Note, the Bonds, and the Program are hereby approved, confirmed and ratified, and the officers and agents of the District are hereby authorized and directed to do any and all things and take any and all actions, which they, or any of them, may deem necessary or advisable in order to consummate the lawful issuance and delivery of the Note and the District's participation in the Program in accordance with this resolution and resolutions hereafter adopted by the District. The Authorized Representatives are hereby designated as "Authorized District Representatives" under the Indenture.
Section 12. Events of Default and Remedies.
If any of the following events occur, it is hereby defined as and declared to be and to constitute an "Event of Default":
(a) Failure by the District to make or cause to be made the transfers and deposits to the Repayment Account or any other payment required to be paid hereunder on or before the date on which such transfer, deposit or other payment is due and payable;
(b) Failure by the District to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under this resolution, for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, is given to the District by the Paying Agent, unless the Paying Agent shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration;
(c) Any warranty, representation or other statement by or on behalf of the District contained in this resolution or the Note Purchase Agreement (including the Pricing Confirmation) or in any requisition or any financial report delivered by the District or in any instrument furnished in compliance with or in reference to this resolution or the Note Purchase Agreement or in connection with the Note, is false or misleading in any material respect;
(d) A petition is filed against the District under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, and is not dismissed within 30 days after such filing, but the Paying Agent shall have the right to intervene in the proceedings prior to the expiration of such 30 days to protect its interests and the interests of the registered owner of the Note;
(e) The District files a petition in voluntary bankruptcy or seeking relief under any provision of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the filing of any petition against it under such law; or Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 25
(t) The District admits insolvency or bankruptcy or is generally not paying its debts as such debts become due, or becomes insolvent or bankrupt or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a custodian (including without limitation a receiver, liquidator or trustee) of the District or any of its property is appointed by court order or takes possession thereof and such order remains in effect or such possession continues for more than 30 days, but the Paying Agent shall have the right to intervene in the proceedings prior to the expiration of such 30 days to protect its interests and the interests of the registered owner of the Note.
Whenever any Event of Default referred to in this Section shall have happened and be continuing, the Paying Agent shall, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by law or under the Indenture, have the right, at its option without any further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
(1) Without declaring the Note to be immediately due and payable, require the District to pay to the Paying Agent an amount equal to the principal of the Note and interest thereon to maturity, plus all other amounts due hereunder, and upon notice to the District the same shall become immediately due and payable by the District without further notice or demand; and
(2) Take whatever other action at law or in equity (except for acceleration of payment on the Note) which may appear necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due hereunder or to enforce any other of its rights hereunder.
Section 13. Proceedings Constitute Contract. The provisions of the Note and of this resolution shall constitute a contract between the District and the registered owner of the Note, and such provisions shall be enforceable by mandamus or any other appropriate suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction, and shall be irrepealable.
Section 14. Request to Borrow; Transmittal of Resolution. The Note shall be issued in conjunction with the note or notes of one or more other community college districts, as described in Section 53853(b) of the Act. Following its adoption by the Board, signed copies of this resolution shall be transmitted by the Secretary of the Board to the treasurer of the county (the "County") in which the District is located, to the County's board of supervisors (the "County Board"), and to the County's superintendent of schools. Transmittal of this resolution to the County Board shall constitute a request by the Board for borrowing and for the issuance of the Note by the County Board. This resolution is based on the assumption that the County Board will fail to authorize, by resolution, the issuance of the Note within 45 calendar days of its receipt hereof or that the County Board will notify the District that it will not authorize the issuance of the Note within such 45-day period. If within such 45-day period the County Board authorizes, by resolution, issuance of the Note, then, notwithstanding this resolution, the Notes shall be issued in the name of the District by the County Board pursuant to such resolution of the County Board.
Section 15. Limited Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Note or in any other document mentioned herein or related to the Note or to any Series of Bonds to which the Note may be assigned, the District shall not have any liability hereunder or by reason hereof or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except to the ex1ent payable from moneys available therefor as set forth in Section 8 hereof. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 26
Section 16. Amendments. At any time or from time to time, the District may adopt one or more Supplemental Resolutions, without the necessity for consent of the owner of the Note, for any one or more of the following purposes:
(a) to add to the covenants and agreements of the District in this Resolution, other covenants and agreements to be observed by the District which are not contrary to or inconsistent with this Resolution as theretofore in effect;
(b) to add to the limitations and restrictions in this Resolution, other limitations and restrictions to be observed by the District which are not contrary to or inconsistent with this Resolution as theretofore in effect,
(c) to confirm, as further assurance, any pledge under, and the sub. subjection to any lien or pledge created or to be created by, this Resolution, of any monies, securities or funds, or to establish any additional funds or accounts to be held under this Resolution;
(d) to cure any ambiguity, supply any omission, or cure or correct any defect or inconsistent provision in this Resolution; or
(e) to amend or supplement this Resolution in any other respect;
provided, however, that any such Supplemental Resolution does not adversely affect the interests of the owner of the Note.
Any modification or amendment of this Resolution and of the rights and obligations of the District and of the owner of the Note may be made by a Supplemental Resolution, with the written consent of the owner of the Note; provided, however, that if such modification or amendment will, by its terms, not take effect so long as the Note remains outstanding, the consent of the owner of the Note shall not be required. No such modification or amendment shall change or modify any of the rights or obligations of the Paying Agent without its written assent thereto.
In addition to the amendments permitted by the above paragraphs, this Resolution, including the form of the Note, may be amended at any time prior to the execution and delivery of the Note pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement or the Indenture, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference to the extent that they relate to the Note, the District, and the District's participation in the Program. Any amendment of this Resolution pursuant to this paragraph shall not require the execution and delivery of a Supplemental Resolution
Section 17. Severability. In the event any provision of this Resolution shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision hereof. Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 27
Section 18. Appointment of Bond Counsel. The law firm- of Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, San Francisco, California is hereby appointed as Bond Counsel for the Note and for the Program. The District acknowledges that Bond Counsel regularly performs legal services for many private and public entities in connection with a wide variety of matters, and that Bond Counsel has represented, is representing or may in the future represent other public entities, underwriters, trustees, rating agencies, insurers, credit enhancement providers, lenders, financial, and other consultants who may have a role or interest in the proposed financing or that may be involved with or adverse to the District in this or some other matter. Given the special, limited role of Bond Counsel described above the District acknowledges that no conflict of interest exists or would exist, waives any conflict of interest that might appear to exist, and consents to any and all such relationships.
Section 19. Effective Date.
This Resolution shall take effect from and after its date of adoption.

Jerry Patton noted that tax revenue notes were resigned several years ago to make up the cycles of cash flow. Under Proposition 13, we receive funds only twice a year, which causes some cash-flow problems. Lois Meyer does a calculation that is verified by Sutro as to the need for funds. We formerly borrowed from the County, but they charged us interest. CCLC provided us about $90,000 in interest the year before last. It is difficult to say whether or not we will need to use the funds. However, this gives us two vehicles with which to make payroll and take care of our payables.
J. INSTRUCTIONAL/OPERATIONAL REPORTS
1. Capital Outlay Projects and Estimated Costs for General Obligation Bonds Issue
Kelley Hudson-Macisaac discussed and presented a list of building needs that might be met through a general obligation bond issue. Exhibit J-1
2. Parking Lot Lights and Call Boxes
Mike Ellis reviewed the current and proposed systems of outside lights and emergency call boxes. He requested assistance from the ASG in determining areas where additional lighting and call boxes are most needed. He noted that the infrastructure project will add additional lighting. These additional lights will also increase the cost of electricity and the cost of maintenance. Mr. Corona pointed out that you cannot place a dollar amount on a student's feeling of safety on campus and suggested that this be made a high priority for any funds that may be received. Bruce Bishop suggested that Board members drive through the parking lots after the meeting tonight to determine for themselves if the lots are too dark.
The Board recessed at 8:36 p.m. and reconvened at 8:41 p.m. to allow time for Jan Kuzmich to set up equipment for her presentation.
3. Articulation
Jan Kuzmich discussed articulation programs between Palomar College and other levels of education. She also described the ASSIST program, which provides detailed student transfer information on the Palomar web page. Jan is looking for additional ways to get the word out to students. Several suggestions for reaching students were provided by Mr. Corona. Exhibit J-3 Palomar Community College District March 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 30

2. APPROVE CHANGE TO ACADEMIC POSITION
MSC Dougherty, Jensen
RESOLUTION 98-19422
BE IT RESOLVED, That the change for the following academic position be approved:
a. Position: INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COUNSELOR/COORDINATOR Name: Lisa A Cox Department: Counseling, Guidance, and Career Development Position#: 410102 New?: Yes (approved 2/24/98) Sal Rng/Stp: G/5 Salary: $53,275.20 annually % of position: 100% # of Mos: 11 Effective: March 23, 1999 Acct No(s): 01-10-40-4010-6210-1221.00-0889/100% NOTE: This is a specially funded position. It is being changed to a tenure track position.
Ms. Hughes asked if we are taking a specially funded position and rolling it over to a tenure-track position that will be funded out of the general fund. Jack Miyamoto stated that the issue was raised after this person was hired. Because of special funds that are considered to go on in perpetuity as opposed to funds from a grant or something that had a limited time period, it was inappropriate to hire this person in a non-tenure-track position as these funds are considered to be ongoing. Legal counsel feels that it is appropriate to convert this person at this time. Funding will still be from the initial funding source. If for some unknown reason funds do not continue, there is a layoff process for faculty. Hopefully, that doesn't happen.

Mr. Corona stated that he feels we are not ready to take on items j and k yet and requested that they be tabled until the next meeting. Jerry Patton stated that there is a time frame that needs to be met in order to comply with the requirements of the grant. Mr. Corona asked when these positions will be available for applications. Jack Miyamoto stated that approval of these positions tonight will allow the District to develop job announcements next week and begin the recruitment phase by advertising for four to six weeks. If there are other issues involved, there would be time to debate them prior to the actual hiring of persons to fill these positions. Jack stated that not approving these positions tonight would put the District in a very difficult position. Mr. Corona stated that he feels we are moving into an armed police force without being adequately prepared from the students' point of view. He stated that information was taken by the individual who formerly served as the supervisor of that department, there is much ambiguity, and the remaining employees are very uncertain about their positions. Jerry Patton stated that he feels Mr. Corona has a great deal of misinformation. Jerry also stated that we are considering hiring an interim chief of police during the next two weeks who is experienced in these matters. There are three retired chiefs of police who are consulting at this time. Mr. Corona stated that he feels we are trying to hire the police officers before we have a chief of police and will, consequently, experience problems. He feels we need a stronger base for that position before we add armed personnel on campus. He is uncomfortable and worried that this is being done in this way. Jerry suggested that Mr. Corona speak with him for reassurance regarding the manner in which this is being handled.
Dr. Dougherty suggested that the District provide the Board and ASG with information regarding the criteria for hiring these individuals, as well as the credentials, experience, and background checks on the individuals, and who will be on the hiring committee. He stated that if people understood more about the process, their fears might be allayed.
Tom Plotts stated that he feels it is important to note that the process the District will go through by putting out the job description, etc., identifying candidates, going through the proper channels on the resource side is extensive and does not include the time required to conduct background investigations and complete the hiring process. The time line will be approximately two to three months before we get the background checks done.
Jerry Patton noted that the minimum qualifications will be what P.O.S.T. requires. There is a task force looking at the policies and procedures and additional qualifications needed in these officers. It is quite a long process.
Bruce Bishop asked if Mr. Corona's concerns were with having armed officers on campus or the absence of leadership in that position. Mr. Corona replied that he is concerned about the absence of leadership in that position, and, at the same time, how stable are we given that we don't have a leader and have a program already established. Bruce stated that, as a member of the task force to establish a policy and procedure manual, he is confident that the College is not going to make such a decision without the appropriate leadership.

Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson made the following report:
1 "On Monday April 5, the classified staff celebrated the 13 h Annual Classified Staff Development Day. The CCE/AFT Executive Council extends a sincere "thank you" to the Staff Development Day Committee for a job well done. Our thanks also go to Pat Barrett and her Food Services staff for all of the work they did in preparing the food and refreshments.
"Mr. Steven Jones, of Jones & Associates, was the keynote speaker; and his comments regarding the value and worth of classified employees were well timed, very appropriate, and very well received. His workshop on "It's a Jungle Out There, So What Are You Packing For The Safari" proved to be an invaluable experience and exercise for the attendees because we matched-up and interacted with people that we didn't know. One of the more interesting match-ups occurred between two classified employees: one who spoke primarily Spanish and the another who felt somewhat comfortable in her ability to understand and speak Spanish. Through an interpreter. the Spanish-speaking employee's assessment of the exercise was that his partner made him feel very at ease and comfortable because of her efforts to maintain a dialogue with him. Mr. Jones was very pleased and stated that this exemplifies how we, as employees and managers, should conduct ourselves in our daily interaction with each other.
'The highlight of the day was the announcement of Bonnie Corzine as Classified Employee of the Year. Bonnie is a Senior Library Technician at the Escondido Education Center library and has been employed at Palomar for over 30 years. Bonnie's work ethic and dedication to Palomar is unquestionable, and I congratulate her on this well-deserved recognition and award.
"In closing, I would like to thank Dr. Robert Dougherty and Dr. Michele Nelson for their appearance as representatives of the Palomar College Governing Board. Dr. Dougherty's conversations with various employees made them feel that it really is OK to talk to a member of the Governing Board. I would also like to personally thank Dr. Nelson for approaching numerous classified employees and introducing herself. Based upon the comments that I've received from my peers, Dr. Nelson's cordial manner was very much appreciated and very well received."

Report of the Associated Student Government
Xavier Corona reported that the ASG had recently attended the ASACC Conference in Washington, D.C., where Ralph Nader and Bay Buchanan were speakers. The ASG interacted with over 300 members from 30 different states. The organization is growing. Palomar College was recognized several times throughout the conference for assistance received throughout the years from Jim Bowen and several of our students. They met with the office staffs of Barbara Boxer, Duke Cunningham, and Ron Packard to discuss issues such as child care, Pell Grants, and financial aid.
ASG is currently preparing for the election of officers for next year to be held on April 20- 21. Many packets are out and eight to ten students have returned their packets indicating their intent to run for executive positions and senator positions. They are hoping to have a good-sized board.
ASG is preparing for the CalSACC conference and is planning to help that organization reorganize. Palomar students are planning to run for either regional or state positions for the coming year.
Xavier reported that Moody Wasif, one of our ASG Senators, appears to be a strong candidate for an ASACC office.
At its next meeting, ASG will deal with issues such as its budget for next year, so that the new student government will come in to a comfortable budget and has more flexibility within the line items, particularly those accounts where the funds were exhausted early this school year.
ASG would like to improve the student guide book by including additional information and working in cooperation with the Graphics Department and sharing the cost with the District.
ASG would like to purchase benches and microwaves for the educational centers and to repair the microwaves or the electrical connections to them on the San Marcos campus.
There was a strong showing from Palomar at the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) Conference last week. Many of the attendees were very pleased that they received job offers for the summer and internships, along with being provided an abundance of information about many different fields. There were speakers from Brazil, Costa Rica, and Ecuador. Former Congressman Esteban Torres was also present.
Xavier attended a CCCT Board meeting on April 9-1 O in San Diego where they discussed some of the bills coming up that will affect community colleges.
Xavier expressed appreciation to Dr. George Mozes for installing handles in the restrooms in the Library in order to assist persons who are physically challenged.
Xavier will be absent from the next Board meeting as he has been chosen as the only student in the nation to be part of a Congressional Forum with HACU and the Educational Testing Services (ETS) to furnish input on working together to provide better testing services for high school and college students that will place them in the appropriate science, math, and English classes.

Report of Superintendent
Dr. Boggs reported that Palomar has been selected to receive a $2.5 million grant to host the California Community College Satellite Network. That grant will extend into an $8 million project before it's over. He commended and congratulated those involved in developing, writing, and defending the grant when the visiting team was here. Hosting the state network will be a "feather in our cap."
Dr. Boggs presented certificates to two Palomar students, Sheri Dickey and Katherine Kuncewicz, who were recently named to Phi Theta Kappa's All California Community College Academic Team, Second Team. Dr. Boggs had the pleasure of being with them in Sacramento when they were recognized. He stated that he is very proud of their accomplishments. He was also in Nashville for the presentation of the All USA Team, that was featured in USA Today. It is a wonderful endorsement of community colleges and their finest students.
Palomar's Alpha Omega Rho chapter of Phi Theta Kappa returned from the regional convention with a five-star rating and the leadership hallmark. Some of the members recognized were Linda Isakson, who received the most outstanding student officer award; Rudolfo Geronimo, who received the regional literary award; and Sheri Dickey, who was elected Southeast Vice President of the Nevada-California Region. Dr. Boggs expressed appreciation to Marilyn Lunde, the Advisor of this group, for all her efforts.
Dr. Boggs displayed a plaque presented to Xavier Corona by ASACC recognizing him for his efforts and distinguished service at the national level for being California and Gulf Region Director for 1998-99.
Dr. Boggs also displayed a STAR Advocate Award that was presented to Xavier at the recent ASA CC convention.
Dr. Boggs reported that The Telescope, Palomar's student newspaper, had received 19 awards while competing with over 500 students from 45 other schools. We are very proud of the work that they do.
Dr. Boggs congratulated Bonnie Corzine, Library Media Technician at the Escondido Education Center, for being named Classified Employee of the Year.
Dr. Boggs congratulated Bill Flynn for being a presenter at the AACC Convention in Nashville last week. Bill has a special session presentation scheduled in June at the League for Innovation Annual Conference in New Orleans. Dr. Boggs and Bill have been asked to make a presentation on the role of board members in the learning college at the CCCT Conference, May 7-8, in Burlingame.
Dr. Boggs congratulated Dale Wallenius for his article in the March, 1999, edition of Foundation Development Abstracts. Other colleges are looking at Palomar as a model for development because of our very successful integrated fund raising, advancement, public relations, and marketing efforts.
Dr. Boggs reported that he has reviewed the sabbatical leave reports for the 1997-98 academic year and the Spring, 1998, semester. The Sabbatical Leave Committee has also approved them. The reports are on file in the Library for review. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 13
Dr. Boggs noted that, some time ago, there had been a concern regarding the transfer of our students to San Diego State University. We have been working on a Transfer Agreement Guarantee (TAG Agreement) with SDSU. Dr. Boggs expressed appreciation to SDSU for their willingness to negotiate with us regarding this agreement but noted that additional negotiating is required. Their criteria are that students must have a declared major, must be fully CSU-eligible and have no remedial needs, must earn 60 units applicable to general education requirements and major, and must attain a GPA of 2.7, which is considerably higher than the current GPA requirements. In addition, they must complete at least 36 units in one of the San Diego or Imperial County community colleges; and, if they want to be admitted to an impacted major, they must meet other admission requirements and attend transfer student workshops one semester prior to transfer. They must identify that they want to be part of this agreement three semesters in advance. Dr. Boggs feels that we are getting closer to an agreement with SDSU, which should help our students.
Dr. Boggs reminded the Board that the Professional Achievement Tea is scheduled for Wednesday, May 5, 3 to 4:30 p.m., in D-6. This is a very nice occasion where we recognize faculty and other staff members who have contributed professionally, such as being published or having presented at a conference. We also honor those who are newly tenured and those who are anniversary pin recipients. Board members were encouraged to attend.
Commencement is schedule for Friday, May 21. Board members will meet in the Board Room at 5:30 p.m. This year's ceremony will be held on the football field. The speaker is Ken Blanchard, who, along with his wife, Majorie Blanchard, are our honorary degree recipients this year.

Report of Other Organizations and/or Individuals
Workers Compensation Insurance
Jerry Patton reported that Jack Miyamoto and he have been looking at a different carrier for Worker's Compensation Insurance, the California Community College Risk Management Association. Currently, we are with the San Diego County JPA. Jerry and Jack think the coverage may be better with the new carrier, but they have not received the actual details yet The rates, however, are good and would save us about $80,000 to $90,000 per year. Any action would take place in either late April or early May. CCCRMA's bylaws state that they must review new members during that period. Consequently, a recommendation to change carriers may be brought to the Board within the next couple of months. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 14
Meet and Confer Process
Mark Vernoy noted that Dr. Boggs regularly reports how wonderful people at Palomar are. He stated that we all know that Palomar is one of the premier community colleges in the nation. He stated that, ifthat is the case, the District should show the faculty and staff its appreciation. He noted that he had gone through all of his Board minutes for the past couple of years and found hundreds of times where Dr. Boggs had recognized Palomar people for doing exemplary jobs. He could not find one time that the Board said that they thought it would be a good idea to give the faculty or staff a raise. The only time the Board mentioned a raise was when one of the Board members asked if we really needed a goal of getting to the top 25 percent of the comparable colleges. He stated that not once has a Board member said that they appreciate the faculty and staff and think they should be given a raise. He noted that he has no idea what is in the Board members' hearts and what happens in closed session. The Faculty Senate has had some problems with the meet and confer process; consequently, they have directed Mark to write a letter to the Board, which he read aloud into the record at this lime:
"April 7, 1999
Palomar College Governing Board:
For the last twelve months the faculty has been involved in the meet and confer process with the district regarding compensation issues for the 1998-1999 academic year and related issues for the 1999 - 2000 academic year. Three faculty representatives have regularly met with two district representatives during this lime. Throughout this time span, four faculty concerns have been consistently addressed:
• That we settle the COLA issue by adopting a presumption that for the 1999-2000 academic year COLA will automatically be given once the college receives it. • That an additional adjustment be given to the salary schedule beyond the COLA adjustment received in 1998. • The creation of a workable model for comparing the Palomar College faculty compensation schedule with the schedules of our 16 comparable colleges. • A revision to the faculty salary matrix to make it more comparable to other California community colleges.
1 The March 10 h meeting of the meet and confer committee ended with an understanding of the five members present that these four issues would be presented to the Governing Board by the two district representatives, Dr. Jack Miyamoto and Jerry Patton at the board meeting scheduled for March 23"'. The next meeting of the meet and confer 1 committee was scheduled for March 24 h to discuss the results of the meeting with the Governing Board. The faculty representatives were disappointed (even offended) when one of the district representatives was out of town and unavailable for the scheduled March 23rd meeting. During a subsequently scheduled meeting, the faculty representatives were told that the district was "not interested" in making COLA automatic for the 1999-2000 academic year and they were not willing to allocate any funds for a salary increase beyond the 2.26% COLA allocated in 1998. (It was clear that salary was not a concern of the District.) The other two issues (revision of the salary matrix and developing a model related to salaries) were never taken to the board because, in the view of the district representatives, they were "operational issues" that could be taken care of within the meet and confer process alone. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 15
The results of the previous twelve months of meetings have caused the faculty to lose faith in the meet and confer process. It is clear to us that the district has failed to approach the process with a commitment to a good faith discussion of issues. In fact, a review of the past ten years of the meet and confer process shows that on the few occasions when the faculty did receive salary increases above COLA, it was only following a bitter confrontation between the faculty and the District resulting in a "standoff." Even then, the increase was received following direct initiation and discovery of available funds by the faculty, not the District. If the District is truly committed to its stated goal of improving compensation for faculty and staff, these "standoffs" would never occur and these issues would be resolved within the meet and confer discussions.
It is the perception of the Faculty Senate that the meet and confer process, as practiced at Palomar College, exists to serve only the district and only to appease the faculty. Though the District claims to have never used the meet and confer process to "stall" on the question of salary issues, appearances reflect otherwise. We were asked in August of 1998 to postpone discussion of a salary increase (above COLA) until enrollment figures were available in February, 1999. We agreed to do that only to be told that the enrollment figures, although not as bad as feared, did not allow for a permanent salary adjustment. We were told in February that a one-time "bonus" might be possible only to be told in April that the district was not able to give any additional money at all. Since 1997, the meet and confer discussions have centered on the development of a workable model that could be used to compare Palomar College faculty salaries to the salaries of faculty at our sixteen comparable colleges. We were asked in the fall semester (1998) to postpone consideration of this model until after the college hired a new Vice President of Human Resources. We agreed to put this off yet again. Since then, the faculty meet and confer representatives have devoted countless hours to developing a model and made several attempts to finalize this effort and the district representatives have not contributed significantly to this discussion.
In practice, the meet and confer process has served to isolate and insulate the Governing Board from the faculty compensation issue. The faculty has operated under the assumption that the two vice presidents represented the district in the process. But, this has not been the case. The district representatives have been unable to engage in discussion with any degree of confidence as to what the district will agree. As such, the district representatives are unable to offer meaningful input during discussions regarding compensation issues because they do not truly speak for the District but rather merely report what they perceive the Governing Board has told them. The faculty believes that the meet and confer process should allow meaningful and progressive dialogue directed at resolving issues and concerns. In this light, the district representatives should be able to move toward tentative agreements and resolutions that would require Governing Board approval for ratification.
The faculty wants the district to demonstrate its commitment to its human resources. We believe that this should be done through the development of a plan that recognizes the worth of the staff, in part through a compensation package that makes salary advances an integral part of the budget. Historically Palomar College has granted salary increases (above COLA) only as an afterthought. If money is "leftover" or identified as "excess," then the district considers giving a salary raise. This is backwards. Our human resources are the most valuable resources that the District possesses; they should be funded first, not last. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 16
The conclusion seems clear. The meet and confer process, for at least the past year and really the past ten years, has been a waste of time. The district has had three faculty members and two highly paid executive level administrators working on this process for hundreds or thousands of hours with absolutely nothing to show for it. The faculty and the District have come again to another "standoff." It is time for the faculty and the Governing Board to enter into direct discussions over salary issues.
The Faculty Senate would like a detailed response to this request in open session at the next meeting of the Governing Board.
Sincerely,
Mark W. Vernoy, Ph.D. President of the F acuity Senate
Bruce Bishop President of the Faculty
CC: Dr. George Boggs Dr. Jack Miyamoto Jerry Patton Diane Michael Joe Madrigal P. J. DeMaris Ernie Carson Members of the Faculty Senate"
Mark stated that this letter was sent to each individual Board member.
Mark noted that the District has a goal of getting salaries into the top 25 percent of comparable community colleges. Mark stated that, in the past year or so, the Board has not discussed how they plan to meet this goal or that they actually wanted to do it. Mark noted that none of the Board members have ever stated in open session that COLA is not a salary increase. The state gives everybody COLA, and the legislature expects us to use the COLA to compensate faculty and staff and to pay for increases in utilities, etc. Mark stated that he doesn't think that some of the Board members understand that if it is truly a goal to get to the top 25 percent, then giving only COLA and never an increase above COLA, doesn't solve the problem. It doesn't make us move toward getting to the top 25 percent. Mark demonstrated how two districts with faculty receiving different salaries, and who receive only COLA, would grow farther apart each year. Mark stated that a plan needs to be made to add sufficient funds to the salary schedule in order to meet the goal of reaching the top 25 percent.
Mark stated that the faculty and staff should be the number one priority of the District in formulating the budget. If we don't do that, we will keep falling farther behind, instead of moving toward where we want to be; and the perception of the faculty is that the Board doesn't care about them and about salaries. He feels we need a plan that will build this into the budget. Mark thinks that Dr. Boggs is not happy that we have low salaries here because it is hard to hire people at those salaries. Right now, we are hiring faculty at step 8 just to compete. Mark stated that Dr. Miyamoto probably had to take a salary decrease to come to Palomar College; it is a wonderful place, but he shouldn't have to do that. The Board then changed the salaries of executive administrators so that they all are paid the same amount. Mark stated that we have an unusual way of recognizing and paying people who have been here for awhile. We need more money put into the salaries of the faculty, staff, and administration. Mark asked the Board to think about what he and the Senate have said and to respond to his comments. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 17
Bruce Bishop told a story about his childhood and running in a "fog" of insecticide. He likened that to the Board operating in a "fog" by, perhaps, not understanding where the faculty and staff of Palomar College are coming from. He stated that perhaps the Board goes into closed session and says, "What can we do to give these folks a raise, to show them how much we appreciate them? What can we do financially?" But the response is not getting back to the employees, so the perception the employees have is that perhaps the Board doesn't know how the employees feel. Maybe the Board is "running in a fog" such as the one he ran in as a child.
Bruce stated that, when he became a member of the Meet and Confer Committee two years ago, he entered into it with a great deal of enthusiasm because he thought he would be good at it. The first meeting he attended, which was Jerry Patton's first meeting also, Bruce asked what the model for the meeting was - how it was going to work. He wanted to understand what the role of the District representatives were going to be, because he knew what his own role was supposed to be. He asked the District representatives what authority they had to negotiate on the part of the District. He was assured that they had that authority. He thought that meant that they had the authority to make some tentative agreements, speaking on behalf of the Governing Board, and that they would go back to the Governing Board with whatever agreements the group came to and advocate on behalf of the faculty at that point. He feels the Meet and Confer Committee sits down with the District representatives and talks about the issues, comes to an agreement that they think will work, and, since the faculty doesn't meet with the Governing Board, they must rely on the District representatives to do that. The District representatives then become the faculty's representatives to the Governing Board. The District representatives should go to the Board and say, "Here's what we think we have agreed to, and this is what we think should happen." If that's not the model, then the faculty feels they should not even be talking to the District representatives - they feel they should be talking directly to the Board. Bruce stated that, if the District representatives do not have the authority to make a tentative agreement, the only thing they are doing is keeping the Board "in a fog." They are keeping the Board insulated from the faculty's and staff's feelings, concerns, and arguments. They should either have the authority to reach some agreement and then advocate on behalf of that agreement, or the "middle man" should be eliminated. If that is the case, the faculty's Meet and Confer Committee should sit down with the members of the Governing Board and talk. Bruce stated that the last two years have been a tremendous waste of his time. He has reminded the Board regularly, for example, that COLA should be distributed to the employees as soon as the District receives it. In his way of thinking, he stated, it "doesn't cost the District a penny to tell the employees that this would be done." He is willing to bet that we will have COLA next year, but is it going to be this "horrible process" that the classified staff members have gone through in the past two years? Or will the Board just say that COLA will be distributed to employees as soon as the District receives it? Bruce asked that the Board consider the cost to the District for the five persons to sit down on a regular basis to "meet and confer" for two or two and one-half hours each time and accomplish absolutely nothing in two years. He stated that sometimes someone needs to point out that "running in a fog" just isn't good for you.
Bruce pointed out that it takes the entire village of Palomar College to run it, and we need everyone working together, not working against each other, not fighting amongst each other, not one large group unhappy. But that is exactly what is happening. There is a terribly unhappy large segment of the staff of Palomar College right now. The Faculty will meet on April 21 to address those issues. Bruce stated that the faculty is looking forward to the Board's responses to these comments and to meeting with the Board in closed session. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 18
Dr. Boggs responded to Mark's comment that there is no mention in the Board minutes about the Board's support of salary improvements. In the 13 years that he has been here, one of the Board's goals every year has been to improve the salaries of faculty and staff at Palomar College. That has been a very visible part of the discussions at the goal-setting retreats. This Board is committed to the goal of improving salaries.
Dr. Boggs noted that Bruce's idea of the way the process should work is correct. The Board has representatives that they direct; they set the parameters for the meet and confer discussions. These representatives also inform the Board about the requests the faculty members are making and why and what our goals should be. Those are the kinds of discussions that are held in closed session. Closed session is meant for the Board to give direction to its representatives or negotiators. The Brown Act does not permit the Board to meet in closed session with the employee group that they are meeting and conferring with or negotiating with. That must be done in open session. Closed session is meant for the Board to direct its representatives. Ben Echeverria confirmed that negotiating behind closed doors would not be allowable under the Brown act. Bruce asked that this be confirmed officially.
Bruce stated that his understanding of how the process should work has not been the practice. The faculty's perception is that the practice has been entirely different from the original purpose for which the process was designed.
Dr. White stated that the faculty has given the Board a considerable amount to think about. Although there is nothing they can do officially right now, they will certainly be thinking about it. She would like the Board to receive more information from the faculty when they need it by having a conversation in open session. Bruce encouraged the Board members to speak individually in response to the comments made by himself and Mark so that they may report back to the faculty on April 21.
Dr. White: "I was impressed by both of you, and I am amazed that I have been so unknowledgeable about your feelings. Now, whether that's our fault as Board members or whether that was something that you have set aside because you believed that you were doing what you needed to do and couldn't do other things, I don't know. And I don't know if I'm making sense here, but that's why I said you've given us a lot to think about. And, so far, I haven't heard anything that offends me. What it does is inform me, and I'm hopeful we can start being a little more open."
Dr. Nelson: "I share your concern about competitive salaries and the need to maintain morale to reward dedicated, hard-working people and to attract new faculty. I absolutely understand that. I think I speak as the newest member that we recognize that the faculty is the brain, the heart, and the soul of an academic institution. But, as a new member, I'll tell you frankly that I see my responsibility as a Board member to be prudent and not to obligate or place current or future faculty members in jeopardy of short-term decisions that have long-term implications. I'm concerned about that. I don't ever want to see a RIF here at this college. Palomar's enrollment is down .75 percent; and I'm going to speak only for myself on this, that I would like to see all of us share in the responsibility for generating growth and that we share in the fruits of that growth and efficiency so we can all benefit. And that growth will be a tide that will raise all the ships, and that the growth tide will rise faster if efficiency of scheduling and room assignments and things of that sort are addressed in a collective process where we're all understanding what the issues are and what we can do about it. We've had reports come across our desks about a consultant who has come in and talked about room utilization, efficiency, and things of that sort. That's a shared problem. I guess I'd like to take a shared view of this as a collective problem and see what we can do to solve it. That's just the new person's response." Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 19
Ms. Hughes: "I've always had a high concern for faculty, staff, administrative - everybody's salaries. As a Board member, I would never see myself meeting and conferring with you directly. I think that's the worst kind of micro-management I could do as a Board member. If you want me to meet and confer with you in that nature, then you want me to decide what your books are, you want me to decide what your curriculum is, you want me to put my nose everywhere else. and I don't want to do that. I see that as micro-managing. We have two people who we designate. I think it's our job as Board members to give them perimeters, let them know that salaries are important, but that salaries are not an isolated part of what we do here at Palomar College. And then, we have to look at our financial stability over the long run. We've been told how the enrollment's gone down; and, if that projection keeps happening, we may not only be pulling in the same amount of dollars, we may be pulling in less dollars on a yearly basis. That's another perimeter that we give to the people who meet with you. You know financial stability is important to keep this institution afloat."
Mr. Jensen: "Yes, I agree with what Barbara said. I mean, I would be very pleased to pay the faculty more money if I had more money to pay the faculty. As she mentioned, it looks like we may be in some trouble here in the next few years due to the FTES problem. We have to look at the big picture. I guess salaries already represent about 86 percent of the budget. It's not something we're ignoring."
Dr. Dougherty: "From my viewpoint, meet and confer is written into state law. It was written into state law, I believe, in the 1950s in order to try to give a fair approach to employee salaries and benefits. That does not mean. however, that the process of meet and confer cannot be improved. It is, at best, a tedious and sometimes prolonged process, which does not always go fast and often seems very inefficient and, at times, even confrontational. That's unfortunate. I agree, however, with Barbara, Ralph, and Michele in their general remarks, and I think what the Board needs to do is to meet, as is planned this evening, with its representatives and say, 'Is there something we can do to increase the efficiency of the process and get things done faster and in a manner which appears to be making real progress.' So that is my position."
Dr. Boggs: "I have one other comment, and it refers actually to something that Mark said. I have been troubled ever since the Staff Planning Committee set this goal for us to 1 be in the top 25 " percentile because there was no plan to accomplish that. It just sets us up for frustration and anger that we're not making progress toward that goal because we didn't have a plan. What I would like to see is for the District representatives and the faculty representatives to hammer out in this meet and confer process a plan to improve our rankings, improve our salaries. And I think that's going to mean increasing the efficiencies of what we do at Palomar and trying to meet our enrollment goals. We do have one of the lowest weekly student contact hours per full-time faculty in the state. We need to improve that figure in order for us to generate funds. So if we can come to some kind of an agreement where everybody is on the same side, that faculty and administration and classified staff are all working toward improving efficiencies and meeting our enrollment goals, then I think we can set aside part of those funds to improve our District's salaries for employees." Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 20
Mark Vernoy: "I have one thing - I know Bruce probably has other things to say. I think it really is - I'm kind of mad at myself because I think you all missed the point. But maybe it was me, but what we need to do is to do kind of what you all have suggested. We need to come to a plan, say 'let's put the money in the budget,' and then work the budget. I'm not suggesting that we design a budget that's going to fire people in the next five years, but the other point that I think you're all missing is that growth is not the solution. When I wanted to put my kids through college, I didn't plan on hitting the lottery. Growth is kind of like hitting the lottery for a community college because it's based almost entirely on chance. We can improve growth. If the economy goes in the toilet, we'll be just fine. Growth is really a pyramid scheme. We have to be able to work our finances without counting on growth. If we're only going to count on growth, then, yes, you're right, you're all right, all of the discussions we've had are silly. I don't think that what we need to do should be based on growth. It think it's a big mistake to do that. We have to do it based on other kinds of things. Well, anyhow, that's what I wanted to say. I think that whenever you say that 'it'll all be fine when we grow,' that's a big mistake. We should never be planning on growth. We shouldn't be worried about growth because growth is not necessarily a good thing. And I'm sure if you talk to Mr. Patton, he will explain to you that it's not always the case that just because we grow, we end up getting more money. So that's really the thing that I wanted to make clear to you. Yes, we do need a plan, we need to put the money in the budget, and we need to deal with that, but we shouldn't try and base it on growth because that's just a very, very risky thing to do."
Bruce Bishop: "I promised this Governing Board several months ago - I don't remember when it was that you guys were last discussing the goals that you adopted for the current year, and I know Barbara had a whole bunch of concerns about maintaining the language of that top 25 percent in there - and I promised you at that meeting, at least from a personal standpoint, that you would not be held hostage. No one would ever come back to you and say, 'Aha, you didn't do it, you couldn't do it, and as a result of that you violated that goal.' And I'm not, in any sense, suggesting that tonight. I want to make that real clear to you. What Mark is saying and what I am saying is that, and I think what Dr. Boggs said also, feeds the argument that nobody has developed any kind of a plan to get there. That goal is not new. That Staff Development Plan came out many, many years ago, and I was at that meeting when that top 25 percent goal was articulated initially, and I said, 'Or what? What are you going to do if you don't make 25 percent by the year 2000?' And people just looked at me and said, 'What do you mean "or what?'" And I said, 'What's the consequence of not getting there? It seems to me if you have a goal, you ought to attach to it some kind of a consequence for not getting there or some reward for getting there. If you're not going to have a consequence or if you're not going to have a plan, then why say 25 percent? Why not say, "number one"? Our goal is to be the number-one-paid staff in the entire state of California by the year 2000. Why not make that the goal?' Well, the reason we didn't do it is because it wasn't realistic. We thought 25 percent was realistic, but that wasn't realistic either in absence of any kind of a plan to get there. Palomar Community College District Aprll 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 21
"You know, Mark could have said 20 years ago, 'I'm going to send my kid to Tufts. I'm going to send another kid to this school and another kid to this school and another kid to this school.' Great plan. How're you going to get there? And if he had relied only on cost-of-living increases, he never would get there. There's not a chance in the world that any of us would get there. So, we want a plan. We've been asking for a plan, we've been talking about a plan for the last year in meet and confer. Let's develop a plan, let's talk about efficiency, let's talk about reallocation of funds because Jerry's mantra has been, 'We can't just rely on growth.' He's constantly reminding us about FTES and weekly student contact hours, and we've said, 'OK, then build the salary increase into the budget. Let's work on reallocation; let's work on these efficiency things; but give us something to aim for. Give us a reason; give us the consequence; give us the money and then say, "Now, get there or we take it away."' But the faculty and the rest of the staff of Palomar College doesn't see anything coming from the District to make us want to do that. And in the next few months, we're going to talk about passing a bond issue, and I'm certain this Governing Board is going to say, 'Faculty, we need your support. Classified, we need your support. Administration, we need your support, too.' And I'll tell you, if this issue of faculty salaries is in the newspaper at the same time we're trying to pass a bond issue, that's not going to look good to the public. The public is going to say, 'Well, they only want to pass a bond issue so they can get more money to pay the faculty.' And no matter how well you state the concern for a bond issue, they're not going to read it that way. We've got to get this thing settled, and we need to have a plan to get there, and we need to make some commitments to the staff of Palomar College, and growth isn't going to do it.
"Now, in terms of the meet and confer process, whatever the law says, I'll abide by it. would never ask any of you to violate any tenet of the Ed. Code or of the law, but somebody up here, I don't remember which one of you said it, you need to define the process a little bit better and tell the folks that are representing the District exactly what authority they have so that they can come in and honestly meet and confer and get into a dialogue that's meaningful and that has an ability to make a commitment. Back in September, back in August, we were told, 'Here's COLA. Wait until February to discuss any other additional funds.' Now, I should not have gotten my hopes up; but that sounds to me like, 'Well, there will be some additional funds. We just don't know how much.' Maybe I'm like a little kid who says, 'Can I have this? Can I have this? Can I have this?' and the parents say, 'We'll see. We'll see. We'll see.' But, if it's not going to happen, then say, 'No.' I hate using that metaphor of a little kid, but what needs to have to happen is the District representatives have to have the authority that I went into the meet and confer process thinking they have, because they don't have it; at least, I don't see that they have it anyway. It doesn't seem to me."
Dr. White stated that she would like to hear the District's representatives' response to that. Dr. Dougherty stated that he felt it would be better to discuss it with them in closed session. Dr. White replied that she wanted to hear it now. Dr. Boggs stated that the District's representatives do what the Board tells them to do in closed session. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 22
Mr. Corona commented: "I've been here at Palomar for about 3% years now, and I've had the luck to have nothing but great professors or adjunct professors, up until this semester, just one. It has been, I think, due to the influence that we're in the business of education, not money. But, unfortunately, money is what pays for our houses, money is what pays for our food, and, in this case, it's what pays for your family to sustain itself. And I would hate to lose any of the professors who taught me just because we can't work on this. I'm not trying to suggest that we implement this right away, and I'm not trying to suggest or demand that the Governing Board does anything at this exact time. But we need to come to an efficient and accurate way of developing funds, not only expected on growth, but in using the different avenues of income that we have access to. Dr. Boggs just mentioned the contact hours. That's been going on for about a year that we've talked about it. You're right, I think that both parties need to be responsible and come to some agreement and not just make, I don't want to say, false promises, but intentions that don't come true. As a student, I would hate to lose one of the professors that I've had because I learned, and I learned a lot. And I would hate for them to go next-door to another district just because they get paid a thousand dollars more or five hundred dollars more than here. I would hate that to happen. So I think that there needs to be some resolution and also, through the help of Mr. Patton, of finding ways to be creative to start within the avenues that we can already use, such as the contact hours, and expand from there. Because, also, we do have other needs and we do need to stay with the parameters of the budget that we have. I would also like to see the District work a little bit harder on the 75/25 of full-time faculty and only 25 adjunct because then we are also not servicing the students adequately when our adjunct can't get paid for office hours and they don't have a place for students to go meet with them, because they're worried about going from one campus to another and making sure that they feed their families. I think that it's been proven to us that we are who we are today, nationally ranked and recognized, not only because of the Governing Board here, not only because of the students, but because of the faculty and staff that take care of the day-to-day business. So I think that we need to come up with a plan and slowly work up to the 25 percent, and, if not, be within the 10 percent in the future."
Mark Vernoy thanked everyone for listening to them.

I. NEW BUSINESS
1a. INFORMATION: DISTRICT INVOLVEMENT IN THE SYSTEM'S 1999-2000 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
Dr. Boggs asked for input from Board members regarding the legislative program for next year. He assumes we want to continue to support the items we previously supported but that did not pass. This is our opportunity to suggest additional pieces of legislation to be considered. He noted there is one new piece of legislation that might be worthy of consideration. Approximately three or four years ago, the state of Florida passed a bill that allows the legislature to match endowment funds raised by local districts. We are in a position where we have developed our Foundation to the point where we probably could be pretty successful in improving our endowment funds with that kind of an incentive. That may be something we want to propose to the legislature. Exhibit 1-1a Palomar Community College District Aprll 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 24
1b. INFORMATION: DISTRICT INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM'S 2000- 2001 BUDGET PACKAGE
Dr. Boggs stated that this is very political. There are a number of priorities. The California Community Colleges are the most under-funded system in the country for community colleges. In comparison with our two other higher education systems in California, we are drastically under-funded. There was a newspaper article recently that ranked the dollars per student in the local elementary and unified school districts, and we aren't even up to the bottom of those rankings. The average is $5,752 per ADA. Our FTES is not quite $3,800. We have fallen behind all segments of education in California and are probably at the bottom of the nation in terms of the funding that we get. The political part will be in terms of how the new funds are allocated. There are some districts that are going to be advocating very heavily for growth. They would like to see most of the new money come in the form of growth because they are rapidly growing districts. There are some districts that will benefit from equalization. The districts in California get a different amount of money per FTES for various historical reasons. Palomar ranks es'" out of 71 districts, not exactly in the top 25 percent in terms of how much we get per FTES. However, because of the way the Chancellor's Office formula works, we would not benefit from the modest amount of equalization that is being proposed. Consequently, we need to get that formula examined. Other districts are going to be pushing to maximize COLA. The original COLA that was proposed for this year was 1.83 percent. The legislative analyst is recommending that it be lowered to 1.4 percent. There are districts that are trying to keep it at 1.83 percent or even increase it. Some districts will be arguing for reallocating Partnership for Excellence funds. We received $100 million this year. Next year, we have $10 million in the budget. There is going to be a move to try to improve that. The latest report is that $50 million will be requested. Faculty associations throughout the state will be advocating for funds for new full-time faculty. The districts are not going to be united in this because of these competing priorities and the different ways in which each district will benefit from them. The San Diego and Imperial County group is very much interested in equalization because all of our districts, with the exception of MiraCosta, are under-funded compared with the rest of the state. Equalization could be seen as a priority, but for us it won't help unless the formula is corrected at the state level. This is an opportunity for our Board, faculty, and staff to present recommendations.
Ms. Hughes asked if there are any plans to increase funding for items such as student health services and other special-needs areas. We have had to take a lot of what formerly came from student fees out of our general budget to take care of certain students' health fees and things such as signing for deaf students. Dr. Boggs will check on that. The issue on student health services was one that we were very concerned about and remain concerned about because students who have the Board of Governors Fee Waiver are exempted from paying those fees. Every year, more and more of our students are exempted from paying those fees, and yet they still require health services; and we are not being reimbursed in any way for providing those services. Governor Wilson had vetoed bills on this issue. In terms of Americans with Disabilities and the signing problem, there has also been an increase in cost for us because we are being seen as a very friendly place for students who have these kinds of disabilities.
Mr. Corona reported that he had presented some of the same concerns at the CCCT Board meeting. He suggested that we should look into the health fee being included in the BOG Waiver, directly coming from the state and being allocated directly to the campuses so that we don't have to subsidize that cost. He stated that several other people at that meeting expressed agreement with this idea. He suggested that someone follow up with David Viar when Mr. Corona's term on the CCCT Board is over so that it might become part of the next agenda. Palomar Community College District Aprll 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 25
Mr. Corona reported that there is a bill that may be introduced that will allow the major core textbooks that are used, such as English and math, to be entered into a state-wide agreement to implement translating them into Braille, instead of the individual districts doing it. They would share the costs and then re-sell them to the districts at a lower cost than doing it themselves.
Mr. Corona reported that a budget item that has been discussed by the CEOCCC and approved by CCCT includes the $90 million for Partnership for Excellence. Exhibit 1-1 b

WHEREAS, Classified employees contribute to the establishment and promotion of a positive learning environment; and
WHEREAS, Classified employees play a vital role in achieving the mission of Palomar College; and
WHEREAS, Classified employees of Palomar College strive for excellence in all areas relative to the educational community;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Governing Board of the Palomar Community College District hereby wishes to honor the contribution of the classified employees of Palomar College to quality education in the State of California and to Palomar College by recognizing the week of May 17-21, 1999, as "Classified Employees Week."
The Vote was unanimous. Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye
Ernie Carson stated: "On behalf of the Classified Staff, I would like lo thank the Board for this recognition of the Classified Employees Week. I would also hope, and not to diminish the importance of this, that the spirit of this resolution be carried on throughout the year, not just during the week of May 17, but also during the week of June 1, the week of July 5, and so forth. I would hope that it also carries into the December holidays when the Classified Slaff has to take either one or two days vacation or comp time, or else we lose pay. What's significant about that is that we accrue vacation at a lesser rate. I'm not saying this to diminish importance, but I think that the spirit of the resolution can really help a lot if it's carried and looked at throughout the year. Thank you."

8. INFORMATION/DISCUSSION: BP 11.1 - GOVERNING BOARD - SERVICES
Dr. Dougherty stated that as he understands state law, the Governing Board cannot change the compensation after the new student trustee is seated, which is some time in May. lfwe are going to do something, it should be done at the next meeting. His interpretation of the material that Ben Echeverria supplied in Exhibit 1-8 is that the Board may, at its discretion, grant benefits, but it is not legally obligated to do so. He would like to see an agenda item next time extending the benefits that other Board members have available to them to the student trustee, so that it may be discussed and voted upon. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 28
Mr. Corona stated that because he will be absent from the next Board meeting, he would like to comment at this time. He noted that there are more than just a few distlicts that offer this to their student trustees. At one of the PAC meetings, he presented a copy of the policy from another college allowing the student trustee to receive these benefrts. He hopes that the Board keeps this in consideration when voling upon this matter at the next meeting. He feels approving this would improve the morale of the student trustee. Mr. Corona feels all Board members should be equal; and every time the student trustee represents the College, they say they are part of the Governing Board, so he feels they should be treated equally.

J. INSTRUCTIONAL/OPERATIONAL REPORTS
1. Budget Update
Jerry Patton presented the following update on the current financial status of the District and gave preliminary information on the tentative budget-development process.
"During the last two years, we have been monitoring several key indicators of financial solvency for Palomar College. This year has brought some significant changes that require me to provide the Governing Board with an update and status on these trends and the possible resulting effect on the financial condition of the College.
I. Current financial status
The current financial status of fiscal year 1998-99 involves a review of beginning fund balances, anticipated revenues, expected expenditures, and the resulting ending fund balances. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 30
• Beginning fund balances: The beginning balances are the same as the ending fund balances for FY97-98. FY97-98 was perhaps the best financial condition of the College. Ending fund balances in the Unrestricted General Fund were over $6.9 million. For my presentation to show available funds, I've also included Priority #1 funds to make a total beginning fund balance of $7.7 million.
• Revenues: Using an estimate of 150 new FTES, we built the FY98-99 budget on $55.9 million revenue. An update of revenue now shows $54.8 million, a decline of over $1 million. Our revenue is dependent upon the state funding formulas, which fund by FTES (full-time equivalent students). Instead of realizing 150 new FTES, the Office of Institutional Research and Planning is projecting a decline of 117 FTES, a swing of 267 FTES from what the budget was built upon, resulting in the revenue decline of over $1 million.
• Expenditures: The expenditure budget for FY98-99 included expenditures for increases in inflation, salary schedule movements, and increases in class schedule that would total $835,877 more than revenues, indicating that we knew that had we experienced the 150 new FTES, our fund balances would still decline by over $800,000. By projecting the ending expenditures by looking at the actual expenditures on today's date, it appears we will expend approximately $300,000 more than budgeted.
• Ending fund balances: Adding these three amounts, the $1,097,977 decline in revenues, the $835,877 in expenditures above revenues in the adopted expenditure budget, and the $300,000 in over-expenditures, the ending fund balances will decrease to slightly under $5.5 million, still a healthy condition reflecting 9.5% fund balances.
II. Historical Trends
• FTES: Over the last nine years, FTES have fluctuated due to a multitude of factors from the state of the California economy, marketing efforts, curriculum, service-orientation, and facilities. The data presented show the growth and decline of FTES over the past nine years. You can see for the past two years, we are in a downward spiral.
• Expenditures: Using the data from the Chancellor's Office Fiscal Data Abstract, these next slides show the expenditures per FTES comparing Palomar College with our 16 peer institutions. From the years between FY93-94 through FY97-98, we exceed the expenditure per FTES in most all categories by significant amounts. By looking at the actual dollar expenditures graphically, the portrayal of increasing expenditure trends is even more dramatic. Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 31
• Efficiency: Selecting one area to show efficiencies is the WSCH (weekly student contact hours) per FTEF (full-time equivalent faculty). This year, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, WSCH per FTEF is about 413. The statewide average is approximately 525. These slides and charts show that an improvement in one FTEF from 413 to 525 would generate $14,800 more. Hypothetically, if all 530 FTEF could make this goal, an additional $7.4 million could be generated. We know that's not possible due to variances in disciplines, but it does point out that improvement in all efficiencies, not just in instruction, but District-wide, need to occur.
• Pro Formulas: Another important tool in financial forecasting is a proforma analysis which is projecting revenue and expenditures out in the future to determine the financial stability and solvency by using differing "what-if' hypotheses. I used three FTES growth scenarios - no growth, modest growth, and aggressive growth. If no FTES growth occurs over the next five years, there could be a $17 million dollar deficit. If modest growth occurs over the next five years, there could be a $12.5 million dollar deficit. The next slide shows that to maintain a 3% reserve, we would need to reduce expenditures $1.5 million, $1.5 million, $2.6 million, $3.4 million, and $3.3 million respectively each year. To give a 1% salary increase, the reduction in expenditures each year would be $1.5, $2.0, $3.6, $3.9, and $3.8 million, respectively. If we could maintain an aggressive growth posture, starting with 330 new FTES in FY99-00 and give a 1% salary increase each of the next five years, we would need to reduce expenditures each year $1.5, $1.5, $1.5, $2.4, and $2.5 million respectively.
Ill. FY99-00 Tentative Budget
• Revenues: Using a modest FTES growth projection, revenues are projected to reach $55.9 million. This is the last year of budget stability, which causes our revenues to be decreased over $400,000.
• Expenditures: If our spending patterns continue, expenditures are projected to reach $58.4 million. This includes starting with FY98-99 actual expenditures and adding COLA (estimated at 2.5%) of $1.2 million and salary matrix costs of $505,000.
• Ending fund balances: If revenues and expenditures respond as projected, ending fund balances could decline to $3 million.
IV. Summary
• Planning: This update is to inform the College of apparent trends in FTES, revenues, and expenditures. The information is somewhat sobering, but there is good news in this analysis, too. There is time to plan and react before we reach a crisis status." Palomar Community College District April 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 32

M. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS
Dr. Dougherty apologized if his statement in the North County Times indicated that we have given up hope on the Ted Williams Parkway site. He does not think we have given up; he thinks we are developing a contingency. He thinks the Poway City Council is beginning to understand our dilemma of having a Ted Williams Parkway site that may not be approved in Sacramento. We have made every reasonable effort to show a need for a campus in that area. Bob Barr's figures show that the demographics in terms of student population are climbing far faster than we had anticipated. He stated that there will be plenty of students for both Miramar and an education center in the southern area of the Palomar District. He hopes that Sacramento will approve something soon. If the Ted Williams Parkway site is approved, Dr. Dougherty indicated that we will certainly go ahead with that. If not, the Board is starting to look at other sites in the south part of the District that would be suitable. He noted that, instead of looking only at the ten mile criteria, the state should look at the cost of land. The state apparently doesn't care if you spend twice as much for a piece of land than a site that is slightly closer to your competitor. To a rational person, this doesn't seem rational. He again apologized if the newspaper story was misleading. He also praised the efforts of everyone who has worked to get the Ted Williams Parkway site approved. Palomar Community College District Aprtl 13, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 36
Dr. Nelson commended everyone for the wonderful Classified Staff Development Day celebration. She enjoyed it very much and took lots of ideas back to her day job. She commended Dr. Jack Miyamoto for his excellent work as master of ceremonies.
Dr. Nelson reminded the Board members that she would be away for the next two meetings.
Dr. Nelson thanked Harry Bliss for opening the gallery before the meeting tonight so that the Board members could enjoy the exhibit.
Dr. White noted that if anyone wishes to see the gallery exhibit, they should do so soon. Many of our former students are showing their work. It is one of the more impressive shows that Harry Bliss has put together. The exhibit closes on Friday, April 16.
Ms. Hughes noted that she also enjoyed the exhibit in the gallery.
Mr. Corona thanked Jerry Patton for his report on the budget. It brought a reality to where Palomar could be headed unless we start acting on issues now. Specifically, he felt that we need to operate within a budget and take the necessary steps now and in the years to come so we do not fall "in the red," have a positive cash flow, and are able to grow as an institution. We should make use of all of our resources and not depend only on the outside.
Dr. Boggs read aloud the public notice from the first page of the agenda, as follows: NOTICE TO PUBLIC: PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM GOLDEN HANDSHAKE In accordance with Government Code 20586, Palomar Community College District hereby announces its intention to provide the Public Employees' Retirement System Golden Handshake, providing two years of additional service credit to faculty members who are enrolled in the Public Employees' Retirement System, and who are retiring between May 14, 1999, and August 14, 1999.

2. INFORMATION
Report of The Faculty
Bruce Bishop reported that the representatives of the faculty in the meet and confer process met with District representatives and received their offer of enhancements to the salary schedule and other issues on April 20. The Faculty met on Wednesday, April 21, to discuss faculty salary issues. At that meeting, two motions came forward and passed unanimously. Bruce, as President of The Faculty, was directed to demand that the Faculty Senate reject the District's offer for a .5 percent pay increase. The Faculty suggested to the Faculty Senate that they propose an alternative amount salary increase to the Governing Board for consideration. The Faculty has directed Bruce to urge the Faculty Senate that if this demand of the alternative amount is not met, they would urge the Faculty Senate to order the faculty to cease participation in the meeting processes here at Palomar College. The second motion directed Bruce to request that the Governing Board schedule a special meeting to address the single business agenda item of faculty salary issues. The meeting must take place within ten days of the April 21 meeting of The Faculty. Bruce sent the letter on April 22, and ten business days would be May 6. Bruce has also been directed to call a second meeting of The Faculty for May 12 in order to apprise them of the Governing Board and District's response to these demands. Palomar Community College District April 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 7
At the Faculty Senate meeting on May 3, Bruce will present the aforementioned motions to the Senate for their action. There is a meet and confer meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 5.
Dr. Boggs suggested that the Board hold a special meeting on Tuesday, May 4, at 7 p.m. Members present indicated that would be acceptable to them.

4. INFORMATION
Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson made the following report:
"Roberta Posner was selected by the Palomar College Performing Arts Department as Palomar's 1999 Volunteer Employee of the Year. She was honored at a ceremony today at the Sheraton Harbor Island Hotel, along with approximately 81 other honorees from 61 business and educational institutions in San Diego County. These institutions include The Chula Vista High School for the Creative & Performing Arts, Balboa Theatre Foundation, California Ballet Company, Carlsbad Community Theatre, East County Performing Arts Center, La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, Old Globe Theatre, Southwestern College, and the San Diego Ballet Playwrights' Project. The honoring event, called Star Awards '99, was put on by The San Diego Performing Arts League.
"The CCE/AFT conducted elections for the 1999-2000 term with the following results: President - Ernie Carson Vice President - Cindy Kratcoski Secretary - Barbara Clay Treasure - Dolores Sylva Grievance Officer - Carmen Eckman The newly elected officers will assume their offices on July 1, and I expect the CCE executive council to continue our efforts to work in harmony with the District and the other respective units.
''This past Saturday, I attended a symposium called Building National, State, and Local AFT Political Power. The meeting was held at the Poway Federation of Teachers office on Pomerado Road. Those in attendance included: Escondido Federation of Teachers, Local 1278; San Diego Community College Guild, Local 1931; UC San Diego Local 2034; Poway Federation of Teachers, Local 2357; Naval Technical Training Instructional AFT, Local 4727; and San Diego Adult Educators, Local 4289. Various speakers included Michael Nye, Secretary-Treasurer, California Federation of Teachers; Kenneth Burt, Political Director CFT; Kim Moran, Deputy Political Director, American Federation of Teachers; and Jerry Berkowitz Secretary-Treasurer San Diego/Imperial Valley Central Labor Council. Palomar Community College District Aprll 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 8
"Speakers included Donald Cohen, Director, San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council, who spoke on 'Building Community Coalitions.' The Labor Council includes various CFT Locals and other employee groups such as the State Employees Trade Council, Local 1268; Steelworkers, Local 1506; Longshoreman, Local 29; Laundry and Dry Cleaning, Local 52; and the Association of Student Employees, Local Lodge 389. Although our Local is a part of the Labor Council, we have not been an active participant. But, as of this past weekend, I renewed the commitment of Local 4522 to become an active member of the Labor Council. Afterwards, I briefly mentioned Palomar's intent to test the waters with regard to a bond issue. I was told that, if needed, the Labor Council could help us with a telephone bank, i.e., placing phone calls requesting support from voters in our District. We would have people representing steelworkers, firemen, managers, secretaries, construction workers, ditch diggers, etc., assisting us with our phone calls.
"California State Assemblyperson Charlene Zettel was also present at our meeting and spent almost two hours conversing with us and answering questions. Assemblyperson Zettel, a Republican and former Poway City Council member, was heavily supported by the CFT. As you know, the CFT has historically supported Democratic candidates. But as a board member, her voting record caught the eye of the CFT, and the rest is history. The meeting attendees were primarily educational and faculty members; therefore, a lot of the conversation with Assemblyperson Zettel centered on class-size reduction.
"Near the conclusion of this particular topic, I stated that, as a leader and as a classified employee, I have learned that I not only need to look out for the needs of the classified staff but also for the needs of Palomar College. Therefore, I support the class-size reduction remarks. But I also asked Assemblyperson Zettel that, when she looked for money to fund additional faculty, she please consider funds for additional classified staff, because smaller classes will mean more classrooms for an already undersized classified facilities staff. Assemblyperson Zettel appeared to be very concerned and appreciative of my remarks."

Report of Superintendent
Dr. Boggs recognized April Hernandez, a Palomar student, who has been named a recipient of Guidepost Magazine's Young Writers Grace Award. He noted that April's achievement is a considerable one. The competition for the prizes was entered by 5,300 high school juniors and seniors from all over the world, and only 20 students whose stories reveal their extraordinary strength of character in facing difficult situations were chosen to receive the award. Dr. Boggs presented April with a framed certificate commemorating her achievement.
Dr. Boggs congratulated Buddy Rabaya, who has recently been elected ASG President for the coming year. As such, Buddy will also serve as the Student Trustee on the Governing Board for the next year. Dr. Boggs also congratulated K. J. Tosaya, who has been elected ASG Executive Vice President. Palomar Community College District April 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 9
Dr. Boggs reported that Joe Madrigal has been selected as a member of the Education Committee for the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce. Joe also serves as President of the San Marcos Rotary Club. We appreciate his community service.
Dr. Boggs reported that Stan Levy has been appointed to the Library Board of Trustees for the City of Escondido. Stan also serves on the Escondido High School Curriculum Council. We appreciate his being a very active community member.
Dr. Boggs reported that Tom Craft has been honored as "Coach of the Year" by the California Collegiate Football Coaches Association. Tom accepted the plaque at the CCFA Hall of Fame banquet in Visalia.
Dr. Boggs noted that Jay Alperson has been named the winner of a "1999 Technology Education Award, first place: Best Use of Lesson Using Multimedia Technology" from the Community College Foundation. His entry was "Grouping: Using Frequency Distributions to See Your Data." This award was accompanied by a $500 check.
Dr. Boggs also reported that Mark Vernoy has been invited to participate in The National Forum on Psychology Partnerships in June, 1999, at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The event is sponsored by the American Psychological Association. Distinguished psychology teachers from high schools through graduate institutions will convene to discuss ways that academic partnerships can promote more effective psychology education. The participants will formulate strategies that address compelling issues influencing the direction of psychology education in the 21'' century. Participants were selected based on their long-standing contributions and leadership in the psychology community.
Dr. Boggs reported that Jerry Patton would be late to tonight's meeting because he has been attending a meeting on equalization at the Chancellor's Office in Sacramento today. Palomar is one of the low-revenue districts, so this is an important topic for us. Jerry is going back to Sacramento tomorrow to attend a legislative hearing on capital outlay with the Assembly Budget Subcommittee. Our Science High-Technology Building plans will be under consideration at that hearing. Dr. Boggs spoke with Assembly Member Charlene Zettel about this matter earlier today.
Dr. Boggs announced that Dr. Harry Mahan, retired faculty member in social sciences and behavioral sciences, who taught at Palomar for 21 years, passed away on April 19, 1999.

3. INFORMATION
Report of the Administrative Association
Norma Bean reported that there had been a general membership meeting of the Administrative Association on May 7.
Norma read a memorandum that was sent this past week to Dr. Miyamoto. The memo states: "The members of the Administrative Association request a 1.6 percent raise, retroactive to July 1, 1998, for the current fiscal year and an automatic COLA in the fiscal year 1999-2000, as soon as funds become available to the District. During the remainder of this fiscal year, if additional funds become available or an additional increase is awarded any other employee group, then we request the opportunity to request additional compensation at a later date." Norma stated that Dr. Miyamoto had received the memo on May 11, 1999.
Norma read a resolution that the Administrative Association has recently passed by a 2/3 majority vote:
"Let it be resolved on this 1o'h day of May, 1999, that
Whereas, the Board of Trustees at Palomar College has issued March 15th notices of intent to not re-hire two members of the Administrative Association; and
Whereas, the two members issued said notices currently serve on the Executive Council of the Administrative Association and are required to engage with District representatives in "meet and confer" negotiations as a function of their representative responsibilities; and
Whereas, this action detracts from the environment necessary for any successful "meet and confer" process; and
Whereas, this action came without warning and without cause as stated by the District; and
Whereas, this action discourages an academic environment where open debate, innovation, and constructive discourse are encouraged; and
Whereas, the affected employees were not given any opportunity to speak or have representation on their own behalf during the decision-making process; and
Whereas, these employees have no other representative voice outside the Administrative Association to speak on their behalf; and Palomar Community College District May11, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 11
Whereas, the employees within the Administrative Association are concerned for their own job security and the uncertainty of a future where they, too, may face unemployment or reassignment with significant losses in income without forewarning, explanation, or employee representation; and
Whereas, the District has no recognized due-process procedure for employee actions affecting members of the Administrative Association;
Let it, therefore, be resolved, that the members of the Administrative Association take exception to the issuance of the March 15th notices and request to work with the appropriate District representatives to: 1. Institute a new section of the Administrative Team Handbook that will include an explanation of employee contract language; 2. Develop a due-process procedure that outlines under what conditions an "at will" employee may be subject to not being re-hired in the subsequent year; 3. Implement a process for employees who are not re-hired, for reasons other than cause, to participate in a mutually agreeable alternative that addresses the needs of the District while preserving the professional dignity of the employee."
4. INFORMATION
Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson reported that the following revisions to the bylaws of the CCE/AFT have been submitted to and ratified by the union members:
"1. Three new executive positions have been created. Instead of one Vice President, there will be a Senior Vice President and a Junior Vice President. Their duties will be primarily focused on membership services, recruitment, and putting the building representative structure in place. The creation of these positions will greatly enhance our capability to communicate with members and non-members. 2. Unfortunately, we had to create an additional grievance officer position. This will help us to be responsive in a more timely manner as different situations come to the attention of the CCE/AFT. 3. The terms of the executive officers, President. Senior Vice President, Junior Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Senior Grievance Officer, and Junior Grievance Officer, have been increased from one to two years. In order to maintain consistency, the election of officers will be split into even and odd numbered years."
Ernie congratulated Xavier Corona for a very productive year as Student Trustee. He extended his personal best wishes for a very productive future. Ernie stated that he is certain Xavier will succeed in his life's goals because "he came to us as a desert cactus, and he is leaving us as a peacock in his proud glory."

J. INSTRUCTIONAL/OPERATIONAL REPORTS
1. Athletics, Fall Sports, Student Athlete Advising
John Woods, Athletic Director, introduced the following persons who reported on activities and trends in the Athletic Department: Steve White, Athletic Counselor; Michelle Barton, Institutional Research Analyst; Thom Kaumeyer, Transfer Coordinator.
John Woods reported that this has been a banner year for the Athletic Department. Two students from Palomar were selected to receive the Wilson Scholar Athlete Award from GOA. Conferences recommend student athletes to receive the award from the 102 community colleges in California with 23,000+ student athletes. Only 17 athletes are acknowledged statewide. The two Palomar students who were selected are Marina Lawrence, a five-time all-American swimmer, and Pat Edwards, a member of our baseball team, who was the strongest member of our men's sports program.
Athletically, Scott Thompson just won the California Community College Tennis Singles title. This is the first time a Palomar student has won this distinction. Scott has also been nominated for the national community college tennis player of the year.
Palomar College finished second in the state in men's tennis.
Our baseball team coached by Bob Vetter was ranked first in Southern California. This is the first time for this distinction for Palomar, among many colleges with exemplary baseball programs.
We have six conference titles, and seven of our teams placed in the top seven in the state finals. The baseball team and softball team are both ranked in the top ten, so we hope to have nine of our teams finish in the top seven in the state, a remarkable achievement. With athletic success comes recruiters, which is a very nice package.
The Athletic Department is very proud of the accomplishments of Steve White, Tom Kaumeyer, and the coaches. The department is grateful for the resources of the College that allow them to serve our students. It is a team effort, and the faculty members have been very cooperative, Also, Judy Eberhart and Lynda Halttunen have been great technological and human resources for them. The leadership and athletic advocacy of Dr. Boggs, Joe Madrigal, and Xavier Corona are greatly appreciated by the Athletic Department.
Xavier Corona thanked John and his team for their efforts in community outreach.
Bruce Bishop stated that, from a faculty perspective, he thinks the program is great. The Governing Board should be aware that the athletic program requires student athletes to visit their professors to get a grade progress report from each of them on a monthly basis. It gives the professor an opportunity talk to the students and forces the students to approach the professor and discuss any problems that may have arisen. Palomar Community College District May 11, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 14
G. COMMUNICATIONS
1. Letter from State Senator Jack O'Connell, to Dr. Boggs, dated April 21, 1999, discussing his introduction of SCA 1 in an effort to reduce the 213 vote requirement for local school bonds to a simple majority and requesting that the Board pass a resolution to place this matter on the statewide ballot. Exhibit G-1
It was suggested that such a resolution be placed on the next agenda. Dr. Boggs noted that he had already sent letters to our legislators asking for their consideration of this proposal, and we have had very strong replies from three of them indicating they would be opposed. The chances of this getting through the legislature are not very good. However, CTA is pursuing a ballot initiative, so it may end up on the ballot through their actions. It had been on the ballot previously and was not approved. However, there is a pro-education sentiment in California right now, so it may be a different environment. Xavier Corona suggested that the item not be placed on the agenda because our legislators have already indicated their opposition, and we should not take the chance of losing their support for other things by passing a resolution. He feels it would be wiser to write additional letters, rather than publicly stating this.
Because placing the item on the next agenda will allow the Board to discuss the issue, it was decided that the item should appear on the next agenda.
2. Letter from Katsunobu Hashimoto, Executive Director, Osaka Colleges of High Technology, Medical Technology, and Health & Welfare, to Dr. Boggs, dated April 13, 1999, thanking him for attending their commencement ceremonies and speaking to their graduates and stating their intention to establish a long-term relationship with Palomar College. Exhibit G-2
3. Letterfrom Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian, to Dr. Boggs, dated April 20, 1999, indicating his intention to maintain the two-thirds majority vote for local school bonds. Exhibit G-3

MSC Dougherty, Hughes
RESOLUTION 98-19487
BE IT RESOLVED, That the resolution to reaffirm the Governing Board's intent to provide health and welfare benefits to the student trustee be taken from the table.
The Vote was unanimous. Palomar Community College District May 11, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 15
2. FAILURE TO REAFFIRM BP 11.1-GOVERNING BOARD-SERVICES
MS failed Hughes, Dougherty
RESOLUTION 98-19488
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Governing Board of the Palomar Community College District hereby reaffirms its intent to provide health and welfare benefits to the student trustee as currently specified in Board Policy 11.1:
BP 11.1 Services (79-7791) Governing Board members, including the non-voting student member, are compensated for their services within the limits established by law. Those who so elect receive health and welfare benefits extended to District employees. Adopted compensation is found in Section B. EC 72023.7, 72425; GB 3-11-80
Xavier Corona stated that he usually feels "as one" with the Board members and feels equal to them, but this time he feels he is being treated differently from them. He felt he should express his opinion of the Board's consideration of removing the health and welfare benefits from the student trustee. Xavier stated that, at the state level, the CCLC has given the Board the decision of whether or not to grant these benefits to the student trustee. Xavier stated that the Attorney General's opinion of 1979 indicated that the student trustee is not entitled to receive these benefits, even though the student trustee shares the same agenda, concerns, and objectivity as the other Board members while they are at this campus working. He feels the Board is fair in giving the student trustee a stipend. However, at the state level, student trustees are considered to be equal to the other trustees. They sit on the Board and share the same interests of the District for the benefit of the students. He asked that the Board consider making the student trustee equal to the other trustees. At the CCLC, they have given the Boards the right to decide whether or not they want to afford the benefits to the student trustee. At the CCCT, they consider the student trustee equal to the other members; they rejected implementation of a document separating the student trustee from the others. At the CCCT Board, the student member has been given a full vote and received the same respect as everyone else. He would like to see the same thing happen with this Board.
Ms. Hughes stated that she would vote no on this because it is a matter of economics. She does not feel we should spend District money to provide health insurance and benefits to a student trustee. As a full-time student, the student trustee is eligible to buy health insurance at student rates. It has nothing to do with equality or respect. The student trustee has not been elected by the public in general and should not receive these benefits.
Bruce Bishop stated that, as a voter in this District, he would not like to see the student trustee receive the health benefits that the elected members of the Board receive. The voters of this District have an opportunity to say who they want to represent them and who they want on the Board; and, as a result of that, they have an indirect voice as to the benefits they receive, as well. Because the public does not have any say as to who the student trustee is, Bruce feels it isn't right for the District to spend public funds on benefits for the student trustee.
Mr. Jensen noted that, in the past, the Board had voted to give the student trustee the same monthly stipend as the other Board members. There was a time when the student trustee received only half the stipend afforded to the other members. Palomar Community College District May 11, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 16
Xavier noted that many districts provide both the full stipend and the health benefits. Dr. White noted that there are some that don't give the student trustee either a stipend or health benefits.
Mr. Jensen stated that he concurred with Ms. Hughes.
Dr. Dougherty stated that he could see both sides. He will vote yes, but it is a complex issue. When you look at other districts, some do and some don't.
The Vote: 2 Aye (Dougherty, White), 2 Nay (Hughes, Jensen) Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye
Ben Echeverria was asked to research the Education Code for the legality of changing the student trustee benefits policy prior to the new student trustee being sworn in. If it is deemed appropriate, a resolution to amend Board Policy 11.1 to deny health and welfare benefits to student trustees will appear at the beginning of the agenda for the next meeting, prior to administering the oath of office to the new student trustee.

MSC as amended Hughes, Jensen
RESOLUTION 98-19495
BE IT RESOLVED, That bids were received by the Palomar Community College District on May 10, 1999, for the re-roofing of the Escondido Center, J-Bldg. Complex, Warehouse-B, and Library (San Marcos campus), (the "Project"),
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That Foam Experts Roofing, Inc., of Mesa, Arizona, be and is hereby declared to be the lowest responsive bidder for the Project, and a contract in the amount of $197,900.00 is hereby authorized, subject to submission of all required bonding and certificates of insurance. Funding for this contract shall be from Account Nos. (Escondido Center) 05-10-64-6400-7100-6271.00-0644 50%; 05-10-64-6400-7100- 6271 .00-1644 50%; (J-Complex) 05-10-64-6400-7100-6209.00-0644 50%; 05-10-64- 6400-7100-6209.00-1644 50%.
Mark Thorson of Advanced Foam and Coating of San Diego spoke in opposition to awarding the bid to Foam Experts Roofing, Inc., because he maintains that they had omitted the warehouse from their bid. Mr. Echeverria explained that sufficient ambiguity had occurred on the way the bid was stated to make it legal for him to determine if a clerical error had occurred on the Foam Experts Roofing, Inc., bid which, when clarified, included the warehouse and, therefore, made them the lowest responsive bidder. California law provides that a clerical error may be clarified before the awarding body and the body may waive that clerical error. Mr. Echeverria stated that it is his opinion, as the Board's contracts officer, that a clerical error had occurred and it is his recommendation that the Board waive it.

Steve Flores, one of Anita Sugar's R.O.P. Graphics students, won a recent competition to design a new portfolio cover for the San Diego County R.O.P. He will receive a cash award and was honored as the 1999 Distinguished Student and Business Partner.
James Luna, one of our Counselors and a recognized artist, will be performing his work at the Aboriginal Voices Festival, June 16-21. There is a nice statement about him on the Aboriginal Voices web page, "Luna, who is from the La Jolla Indian Reservation, is well known for his installation and performance art all over North America. What most people don't know about Luna is that he is an academic counselor at Palomar Community College in San Marcos, California, and has been for over 15 years." The statement also mentions his degrees and credentials.
Frank Glasson, an adjunct faculty member in our Performing Arts Department, and the Palomar Repertory Jazz Ensemble were awarded first place honors at the 1999 Coronado Jazz Festival. Dr. Boggs reported that he had heard the band in concert last week, and they are wonderful. They will be cutting a CD, which the Foundation has funded.
Bill Flynn was a keynote speaker at the College of the Air Distance Education Consortium, May 17-19.
One of Neil Bruington's students, Barbara Krywko, won an award of excellence at the Creative Show in San Diego. Her photograph was called, "Reflections of Bodie." Palomar Community College District May25, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 12
Debi Moffat sent Dr. Boggs information regarding the performance of Palomar's EMT students on the national registry. The average pass rate for the national registry is 75 percent. The average for San Diego County is 72 percent. Palomar's pass rates for the last four exams have been 96, 100, 81, and 79 percent, so our program is well above both national and county averages.
Frank Puchi, Counselor, and Director of Future Teacher Diversity Corps, was just granted an award of $100,000 for next year to fund a project that will allow mentors to work in the San Marcos schools. The funding was provided by the California Wellness Foundation. Frank has been aggressively pursuing private funds, and it is good to see him successful.
The Governor's May revise of the budget was very disappointing to community colleges. He is proposing a drop in COLA to 1.41 percent, which is a serious problem for us because we had four years with no COLA in the early 90s. We have never made up for that loss. The Governor is proposing a 3Y, percent growth in enrollment caps. Partnership for Excellence was funded only at an additional $1 o million, and no COLA was provided for the original $100 million. He is proposing a $1 per unit fee reduction, and he is proposing backfill for the lost revenue to the colleges, but we are concerned that it not be made effective for the Fall semester because we need to go through the expense of reprogramming all of our computers. The Assembly and Senate have augmented the community college budget in the Partnership for Excellence area but not in the other areas. The two houses have different amounts of augmentation, so we are not certain what will come out of the conference committees and negotiations with the Governor, but we expect there will be some improvement in Partnership for Excellence.
We have experienced some problems with student registration for Summer Session caused by the implementation of our new PeopleSoft system. We had to switch over to the new system now because we have a Y2K problem, and we want to improve the service to our students, which the new system will allow us to do. Jerry Patton reported that we are finding "bugs" in the program. We are still registering students, and each session is much faster. However, we have only a few lines open; and we hope to open an additional 48. We will start testing them to see if the system slows down. The transaction speed was as high as one to two minutes to add a class and is now down to eight to fifteen seconds. The system is improving slowly, but it is not yet where it should be. We may have to return to walk-in registration in the Fall, even though it is not a popular idea. We are no longer handling cash; we are registering students and sending invoices later. Dr. Boggs reported that we have added personnel to handle the calls from students who were unsuccessful in getting through the system.
Jack Miyamoto presented a report on the diversity of faculty recruitment pools at this time. He explained the procedures used in advertising in order to reach the most diverse pool of candidates possible. He also noted that there are a large number of positions available this year for community college instructors throughout California. Exhibit F-6
Dr. Boggs reminded the Board of the special meeting set for June 5, 8:30 a.m., at the Vallecitos Water District Training Room, 201 Vallecitos de Oro, San Marcos.
Dr. Boggs reminded the Board of the new policy that an orientation session must be held when a new student trustee is seated. He suggested that some time be added to the June 5 meeting or that a separate session be held with the student trustee, Dr. Boggs, and a Board member. Dr. Dougherty stated that even if a separate meeting is held, he thinks about half an hour should be spent on this at the retreat so that all Board members will have some input into it. Dr. Dougherty and Dr. White agreed to represent the Board at a separate meeting for this purpose. Palomar Community College District May25, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 13
Diane Michael noted that the Paramedic Graduation ceremonies will be held on Thursday, May 27, 6:30 p.m., in the Theatre. Dr. White and Dr. Dougherty plan to attend.
Diane also noted that the Cabinet and Furniture Technology awards luncheon will be held on June 4, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Dr. Dougherty noted that the Dental Assisting Graduation ceremonies will be held on Friday, May 28, 7 p.m.
7. INFORMATION
Report of Other Organizations and/or Individuals
Ernie Carson made the following report: "Lisa Cox is the advisor and Wilma Dockett McLeod and myself are the co-advisors to a student group on campus called the Pan African Student Movement (PASM) Club.
"On Saturday, May 15, 1999, the PASM club participated in the Rancho Bernardo High School (RBHS) Multicultural Fair. PASM club members in attendance included Zeda Barnett, Hillary Champaign, Jose Cartegena, Elaine James, and Darlene Lee. Others were not able to attend due to jobs and previous commitments. The event started at 11 o'clock with spiritual songs from one of the community's African American gospel choirs. This was followed by an inspirational presentation of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" by a child that appeared to be between the ages of eight and ten years old.
"Our African American booth had barbecued and fried chicken, collard greens, hot water corn bread, rice, beans, corn on the cob, barbecued ribs, and chocolate cake. In addition to our booth, there were 22 other booths including representatives of Israel, Korea, Puerto Rico, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, China, and numerous others where food was being served. One of the PASM club members commented that he literally ate his way around the world.
"The program included dancing by numerous representatives from the different ethnic groups. During the program, the Rancho Bernardo High School ASU student president asked that the PASM club come to the stage. She presented us with a very nice Community Service Award and asked our president, Elaine James, to say a few words. Elaine caught me off guard by immediately passing me the microphone. I thanked the RBHS ASU for inviting our club and I also encouraged any seniors who had not committed to a four-year institution of higher learning to please consider coming to Palomar College.
"Last Thursday, PASM had its end-of-the-year banquet and awards dinner at the Quails Inn. Several awards and certificates were presented. Dr. Boggs was presented with a very nice picture as a token of PASM's appreciation for his support. PASM president, Elaine James, noted that the picture was chosen because she has seen the walls in Dr. Boggs office, and they are adorned with plaques and awards. She felt the picture would add a nice touch. PASM had five members graduating this past Friday night All of the PASM graduates were presented with sashes adorned with PASM - CLASS OF 99 and the graduates wore their PASM sashes with pride."

H. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
I. NEW BUSINESS
1. INFORMATION: PROPOSED RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF SCA 1
WHEREAS, the capital outlay demands of the state's 106 community colleges in 71 districts far exceeds the available state resources to address them; and
WHEREAS, a tidal wave of more than 370,000 new students will enter the community college system by the year 2005, a 30 percent increase over current enrollments; and
WHEREAS, over half of the buildings on our community college campuses are over 30 years old; and
WHEREAS, the California Postsecondary Commission estimates that $375 million per year is needed to maintain our existing community college campuses through 2005-06; and
WHEREAS, the California Postsecondary Commission estimates that $125 million per year is needed for the construction of new buildings and campuses through 2005-06; and Palomar Community College District May 25, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 15
WHEREAS, the 1998 Bond Act will provide only $186 million a year for four years but $500 million per year is needed for construction, maintenance, and renovation of our community college campuses; and
WHEREAS, approval of local school bonds by a simple majority of the voters would give communities greater flexibillty in funding their facility needs, thus decreasing their reliance on scarce state bond funds;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Palomar Community College District supports the passage of SCA 1 to place a majority vote proposal on the statewide ballot.
Dr. Boggs noted that this resolution had been placed on the agenda at the request of the Board at its previous meeting. There was a brief discussion of this matter at that time. The legislator who is sponsoring this has asked Boards to endorse this legislation. Dr. Boggs informed the Board that he has already sent letters to all of our legislators asking for their support of the legislation, and we have received two very strong letters stating that they will never support this legislation. The feeling in Sacramento is that the legislation will not pass. In fact, CTA has begun an initiative to get signatures to put it on the ballot.
Mr. Jensen stated that the legislators will never approve this, and he feels we should not antagonize them when we need their support on other things.
Ms. Hughes stated that she thinks this is good legislation; and if a majority of the Board thinks so, we should let them know how we feel. She does not see the sense of backing down on what we believe in just because it might antagonize them.
Dr. Dougherty stated that he supports it, but he agrees with Dr. Boggs that it is somewhat redundant in view of our previous letters.
This matter will return for action at the next regular meeting.

1. APPROVE ACADEMIC CALENDAR FOR 2000-2001
MSC Dougherty, Hughes
RESOLUTION 98-19547
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Governing Board approves the proposed academic calendar for 2000-2001 as shown in Exhibit H-1.
The Vote was unanimous. Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye
2. APPROVE PROPOSED RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF SCA 1
MSC Dougherty, Nelson
RESOLUTION 98-19548
WHEREAS, the capital outlay demands of the state's 106 community colleges in 71 districts far exceeds the available state resources to address them; and
WHEREAS, a tidal wave of more than 370,000 new students will enter the community college system by the year 2005, a 30 percent increase over current enrollments; and
WHEREAS, over half of the buildings on our community college campuses are over 30 years old; and
WHEREAS, the California Postsecondary Commission estimates that $375 million per year is needed to maintain our existing community college campuses through 2005-06; and
WHEREAS, the California Postsecondary Commission estimates that $125 million per year is needed for the construction of new buildings and campuses through 2005-06; and
WHEREAS, the 1998 Bond Act will provide only $186 million a year for four years but $500 million per year is needed for construction, maintenance, and renovation of our community college campuses; and
WHEREAS, approval of local school bonds by a simple majority of the voters would give communities greater flexibility in funding their facility needs, thus decreasing their reliance on scarce state bond funds; Palomar Community College District June 8, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 11
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Palomar Community College District supports the passage of SCA 1 to place a majority vote proposal on the statewide ballot.
Dr. Dougherty stated that, although this may well be redundant in view of our past actions, he is in favor of requiring a simple majority vote.
Mr. Jensen noted that, at the last meeting, he had stated that our legislators are firmly opposed to this and why antagonize them. Politics is the art of the possible, but when it's impossible to change their minds, why pick a fight with them on this issue. However, his primary reason for voting against it is that people who are not property owners would have the right to raise the taxes of the property owners. This constitutes taxation with under-representation. He feels that giving a citizen who will not incur any liability the ability to impose a tax on another citizen is wrong. The non-property owner can impose this on the property owner.

Report of the Administrative Association
P. J. DeMaris reported that the Association has had an exciting year facing a lot of challenges. They are looking forward to many possibilities for the new year. They have laid a foundation to address many of their concerns and have addressed them in the meet and confer process. She is very optimistic that, through that process, they will be able to negotiate a much-improved relationship with the District on behalf of the mid level managers who are represented by the Association. P. J. stated that it is her opinion that there is a lot of work that needs to be done. The handbook is woefully inadequate and has many gaps in it. There are areas where employees are misnamed and misplaced. They are hoping that, with the foundation that they've laid, those will be addressed. Many of the concerns during the past year would be taken care of in that way. The Association will have a much brighter and happier future with the District. On behalf of the Association, she thanked the Board for the opportunity to have been the President. The administrators are excellent, and she hoped the Board will support them in every way possible.

The Administrative Association supports the bookstore's proposal for remaining an institutional operation. They hope the Board will consider the bookstore's request to continue in operation for the five years they request, provided that they meet their projected goals. The Association is interested in helping its members preserve their positions with the District, while recognizing that fiscal responsibility continues to be a priority.
Another goal of the Association this year is to continue the cooperation with the other employee groups.
4. INFORMATION
Report of the CCEIAFT
On behalf of Ernie Carson, Mike Barber gave the following report: "Four members of the CCEIAFT executive council are attending the western Union Leadership Institute (ULI) which is being held at the University of California Santa Cruz. Western ULI is a week long training and leadership development program sponsored by the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO. Its purpose is to further acquaint the attendees with the AFT and its issues and to provide a forum to exchange information with union brothers and sisters. Carmen Eckman, Dolores Silva, Cindy Kratcoski, and Ernie Carson will be taking courses in Introduction to Grievance Administration, Union 101, and Effective Union Communication. The classes start at 8 a.m. and conclude between 4:30 and 5 p.m. Ernie will provide more information about their respective classes during his report at the next Governing Board meeting.
"I would like to commend the College on the new lighting in Parking Lots 1 and 2. There have been times during the past several weeks when I've left Palomar between the hours of 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. and have almost had to shield my eyes due to the brightness of the lights. Trust me it is super bright out there. In my opinion the nighttime lighting is a 1,000 percent improvement over the lighting that was previously there. Oh how I wish that Xavier Corona, former ASG President, was with me so that he, too, could shield his eyes.
"On behalf of the classified employees, I would like to convey sincere thanks and appreciation to the Governing Board, Dr. Boggs, and members of the District's negotiation team for their wisdom in releasing the 1999-2000 COLA after Governor Davis signed the state budget. I would also like to thank Dr. Mark Vernoy and Mr. Bruce Bishop for their constant, but ever so subtle, expressions to the Governing Board that releasing the COLA, without having to go through devastating negotiations, would be a positive step for the District.
"As all of us are aware, our ongoing migration into the world of PeopleSoft has had a negative impact on practically all District employees (including management) and all students. For those of you that have never experienced a major application conversion, let me state that a lot of the problems that the PeopleSoft conversion has been encountering are a normal part of the migration to production process. Normally, some of these problems are spread over a much larger time frame. But, since our year 2000 window is small, we are experiencing a lot of problems within a much smaller project time frame. Untimely mainframe computer problems have also impacted the College's PeopleSoft production progress. Palomar Community College District July 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 13
"Dr. Miyamoto, I know that you and I had a similar conversation last week, so please forgive me for bringing this up. Having said that, Dr. Boggs, I would encourage each executive management member, if you haven1 done so, please go out and talk to your respective employees. The stress of this project is taking a serious mental and physical toll on our College's most treasured resource, your employees. You might not like what you will hear; but by being there, at least your employees will feel as if upper management does care about the day-to-day trials and tribulations that are being endured. In other words the stress level of your staff is at a very, very high and potentially damaging level. Unfortunately, I am not here to present my feelings in person; and it is easy for you all to think that I am being somewhat dramatic with these statements. I can only say that I cannot put into words what is going on in our work place.
"Our District's employees are to be commended for trying to maintain a constant PeopleSoft "can do" and "positive customer service" attitude. With the multitude of procedural changes, shift in business processes and responsibilities, and, in some cases, minimal training, your employees are doing a fantastic job; and I have no doubt that they will continue to do their best. But please be advised that the accompanying high levels of mental and physical stress are keeping up with us stride for stride. To compound this, with each passing day, personnel within various departments are beginning to receive more and more lucrative inquiries from employment agencies that are looking for individuals, with PeopleSoft experience.
"It is not my intent to try to paint a picture of gloom and doom. Hopefully, each of you should know that I have always done my best to be objective when reporting on staff issues. If anything, this portion of my report has been very subtle, to say the least. I have no doubt that the classified staff will endure. But we need your visible support, we need your encouragement, we need your support in providing temporary clerical staffing assistance where needed. This PeopleSoft quest that your employees are on is not optional. We not only have to do it and get it done; I promise you, with your help, that we will do it, and we will get it done.
"In closing, I would like to thank our CCE/AFT Ambassador at Large, Michael Barber, for delivering this report in my absence.
"Respectfully Submitted, Ernie Carson, President, CCE/AFT"
5. INFORMATION
Report of the Associated Student Government
Buddy Rabaya reported that he is receiving a lot of complaints from students regarding the registration process. They are complaining because the new system was supposed to be faster and more efficient, but it isn't. ASG is telling them that there are still some things that need to be worked out The phones seem to be cutting off during registration, causing students to have to try several times. Students are pleased that the Social Security numbers are being replaced by Student ID numbers.
An attempt is being made to move ESL students out of meeting rooms because of conflicts with meetings. Also, there is often no access to chalk boards or tables/desks on which to write for many of these students.
Buddy introduced Moody Wassil, the Vice President of State Affairs and chair of CALSACC. Bridgette Roncone, Senator, is also the President of the College Republican Club and the Director of the California College Republicans. Palomar Community College District July 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 14
Students are still complaining about having to pay the regular-semester parking fee for the summer session, because it is so much shorter than the regular semesters. They feel there should be some negotiation for a pro-rata fee during these abbreviated sessions.
They will be working with Kendra Jeffcoat to get more community service involvement. They would like to see a one-unit course created for internships.

3. INFORMATION: DISTRICT GOALS FOR 1999-2000
Draft Governing Board Goals for the Palomar Community College District - 1999-2000
Philosophy. The Governing Board of the Palomar Community College District establishes annual goals to guide District and College decision making. The Governing Board is committed to setting all of its goals within the context of the Palomar College Mission and Vision Statements and the developing Educational Master Plan. The College exists to promote and support student learning. The themes of empowerment, learning, evaluation, discovery, and growth as outlined in the Mission and Vision Statements should be the basis of all decision making and planning. Palomar Community College District July 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 18
The Governing Board is also committed to the concept of shared governance, to setting an example for high ethical standards, and to maintaining an environment of mutual respect for individuals in all of its actions. Within these parameters, the Governing Board sets the goals for 1999-2000. The Board recognizes that many of these goals identify issues that may take longer than one year to address completely but expects to see progress toward goal achievement.
I. Budget Stability: Plan for and achieve budget stability.
The financial stability of the District depends, in large part, on the District's ability to manage its enrollment and its ability to operate efficiently. The District has set a goal, for the last several years, to capture enrollment growth funds by increasing enrollment beyond the base enrollment of the previous year to at least the maximum funded enrollment as calculated by the Chancellor's Office. When enrollment falls below the maximum FTES enrollment, potential funding is lost. If enrollment exceeds the maximum FTES enrollment, the state will not fund the excess enrollment.
The Board is also committed to increasing efficiencies of all operations and all functions, such as improving class scheduling and room utilization practices, improving student retention rates, and maintaining quality of service while reducing costs in all support functions. The efforts of all staff and faculty will be needed to address these needs and responsibilities. The Board expects the development of a process whereby benchmarks will be determined as a viable goal and as a measurement of performance tool.
It is the intent of the Board that the District continue progress toward a system in which the institutional strategic plan is driving resource allocations, that budgeting is funding the strategic plan, and where fund balances and reserves are maintained at a financially healthy level.
Resource Development: Secure resources and revenues that supplement our reliance on public funding.
The Vision Statement commits the District to securing resources and revenues that supplement our reliance on public funding. The Board continues its commitment to augment state funding through efforts to expand identification, research, cultivation, and solicitation of individuals, businesses, redevelopment agencies, and other public and private funding sources, to apply for grants and to expand worksite education (contract education) services to local businesses and agencies.
Compensation: Develop a plan to improve employee salaries.
The Board recognizes that Palomar College is successful because of its exceptional faculty, administration, and classified staff. Attracting, retaining, and rewarding excellent employees is of primary importance to the future of the College.
It is the intent of the Board to ensure that employee representatives are involved in the development of a compensation plan. This plan should direct a specific percentage of resources identified from enrollment growth, increased efficiencies, and student retention to increase employee salaries without compromising quality or District values. Palomar Community College District July 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 19
II, Educational Master Plan. Integrate plans from all areas of the College into a comprehensive institutional plan.
Plans from all areas of the College need to be integrated into a comprehensive institutional plan, supporting one of the recommendations of the Accrediting Commission. The Board also expects progress in the development of outcome measures that enable us to assess our success in promoting and supporting student learning. Appropriate goals for improving outcome measures should be discussed by all departments and divisions. The Board encourages the further development of innovative teaching, learning, and student support practices that will meet the needs of students.
It is the Board's desire to strengthen the link between Institutional Review and Educational Master Planning. The intent is to align and maintain the District's goals with the department goals into a comprehensive institutional strategic plan. As programs are reviewed, outcomes should be determined and integrated into the Educational Master Plan as appropriate. For example, the Assessment of Learning Project needs to be monitored for its effectiveness. As efficient methods for assessing student learning are determined, assessment objectives should be incorporated into the Educational Master Plan.
A. Institutional Review: Implement an ongoing system to continuously review all College programs.
Palomar College began implementation of a formal ongoing system to review its programs in 1997. In order for the College to be assured that program objectives are being met and to improve efficiency and effectiveness, it is necessary that all departments and divisions take the review process seriously. Implementation of a regular and comprehensive program review model was one of the general recommendations made by the Accrediting Commission, and the Board expects the work of the Institutional Review Committee to carry out this recommendation. It is expected that the Committee's review and report will include: applicable benchmarks, progress on achieving benchmarks, progress on achieving goals and objectives, recommendations to correct any discovered performance deficiencies, and some final determination of three possible recommendations of "maintain," "increase," or 'decrease" the functions and funding of the unit under review.
B. Services to Students: Streamline student services and find ways to improve convenience to students.
The Governing Board asks College staff to continue to streamline and automate processes to improve accessibility of services to students. The Board is committed to enhancing the quality of the service to students within an environment that is helpful, efficient, and friendly in meeting the needs of students. Palomar Community College District July 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 20
C. Technology Plan: Implement and fund new technologies as needed to increase institutional efficiency and staff capability.
It is the Board's desire to plan for adequate maintenance, service, and replacement of technological software and equipment to increase the efficiency of the institution. The Board is also committed to enhance the capability of personnel by providing ongoing training and education for faculty and staff. Regular assessments will be conducted to streamline the technological processes with an emphasis on increasing efficiencies. This technological plan will be integrated into the comprehensive institutional plan and linked to resource allocations. The Board is desirous of having a line item in the budget for replacement and maintenance of technological equipment.
/II. Education Center Identification/Acquisition: Identify and acquire a site for the Southern Educational Center.
For several years, it has been the philosophy of the Board to improve access to Palomar College courses and services by identification and development of future educational centers. The results of a Marketing Assessment Report conducted by Steve Eckstone reveal the importance of the Education Centers for future growth of the District.
IV. Legislative Advocacy: Continue to develop positive relationships with our legislators and their staffs.
State and federal legislators have become more active in proposing legislation that affects our College and our students. It is important for representatives of the District to develop positive relationships with our legislators and their staffs and to advise them about the effects of proposed legislation. Especially important this year will be efforts dealing with the state budget for community colleges.
V. Commitment to Diversity: Implement both the Faculty and Staff Diversity Plan and the Student Equity Plan.
For the past several years, the Board has clearly stated its commitment to expanding opportunities for learning access and success by culturally diverse, traditionally under-represented populations and to fostering positive relations among all of the College's racial and ethnic groups. The Board continues this commitment and will hold itself, faculty, staff, and administrators accountable for the successful implementation of both the Faculty and Staff Diversity Plan and the Student Equity Plan.
VI. Safety and Security: Implement a plan to convert the contracted security service to an upgraded level of service provided by District security officers.
The Governing Board is committed to maintaining a safe environment on the San Marcos campus and education centers of Palomar College. Plans to convert the contracted security service to an upgraded level of service provided by District police officers should be implemented this year. Palomar Community College District July 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 21
VII. Engagement with the Community: Continue to promote outreach with community stakeholders.
It is the Board's desire to continue the outreach into the surrounding community. The Board is committed to increase service learning opportunities, to be more involved in the economic development within our District, and to support efforts to enhance citizenship and the quality of life in the communities we serve.
Dr. Dougherty stated that he feels the goals accurately reflect the opinions that were discussed in the Board's workshop.
Dr. Nelson stated that she would like to see a few more measurable outcomes on some of the points so that the Board could later determine if they have achieved the goal. For example, under budget stability, she would like to see a system in place that would maximize room utilization, building the schedule to be more effective and efficient, and offer classes across the day and throughout the week to help us generate revenue. If we achieve that, it will help us move in the direction in which we want to move. Under compensation, Dr. Nelson would like to see an agreement with the faculty for revenue sharing. She would like to see clear benchmarks that would show what has been achieved.
Ms. Hughes stated that she concurs with Dr. Nelson. Ms. Hughes would also like to see only the goal statements with some benchmarks without the explanations attached - more like a list of goals. Some of the goals seem to be parts of things that could be done to achieve other goals. For example, goal VI discusses safety and security, and goal 11-B discusses increasing service and improving convenience for students. These could be combined under one heading.
Mr. Jensen noted that items such as revenue sharing are subject to negotiation or meet and confer.
Dr. Dougherty suggested that Dr. Boggs consider these suggestions and modify the goals accordingly for the next meeting.
Dr. Boggs summarized that the Board would like him to remove the language that explains the goals, add language regarding measurable outcomes for some of the goals, and combine the goals on service to students and safety and security.
Ms. Hughes stated that she would like the goals to be broad Board statements. The explanation for achieving the goals would be the institution's responsibility. For example, we want a plan for improving employee salaries; but she does not feel the Board should prescribe what that needs to be.
Dr. Boggs will draft another proposal and include both proposals so the Board can see how they compare. Palomar Community College District July 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 22
Ms. Hughes stated that she had received a report from Institutional Research about outcomes-based learning and the learning paradigm. There were four broad institutional goals mentioned that she feels are good in terms of accountability and benchmarks. They were ways to show greater student learning success, showing increases in transfer readiness, the number of degrees and certificates awarded, the course completion rates, and participation in service areas. She would like those four things incorporated in the goals. They may fit under Institutional Review, which says, "Implement an ongoing system to continuously review all College programs." She suggested we add, "based on the need for greater student success and learning as shown by increased retention rates." These are basically the Partnership for Excellence goals. These are measurable goals.
Dr. White stated that we have already done some of these things. Ms. Hughes agreed and stated that we should look at what we are doing to see whether or not we are succeeding.
Jerry Patton stated that the Educational Master Planning Committee has done an excellent job this year in having a mission, goals, and objectives, as well as defining those in measurable outcomes. He suggested this task be given to Bob Barr and that committee to incorporate these and develop student outcome measurements so that we will have criteria to determine if we are meeting these goals and provide some information on how to achieve the goals.
Mark Vernoy suggested that an item should be included in the goals indicating the Board's intent to keep us on the edge of educational technology.
4. APPROVE AGREEMENT WITH PACIFIC BELUMCI, ACQUIRING PACIFIC BELL VOICE, USAGE, AND DATA SERVICES UNDER THE CALNET AGREEMENT BID BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR OTHER PUBLIC ENTITIES

5. APPROVE CONSUL TANT AGREEMENTS FOR GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND FEASIBILITY STUDY
MSC Dougherty, Jensen
RESOLUTION 99-19628
BE IT RESOLVED, That agreements be approved between the Palomar Community College District and the following consultants to assist the District in conducting a feasibility study, including a public opinion poll through a qualified pollster, leading to a recommendation to the Governing Board regarding the advisability of placing a measure on the ballot seeking voter approval in the year 2000 for the sale by the District of General Obligation Bonds to raise needed funds for capital improvement projects:
• The Lew Edwards Group (Catherine Lew, Esq.) Feasibility Consultants
• Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth (David G. Casnocha, Esq.) Bond Counsel
• Sutro & Company, Inc. (Cathy Bando & Robert Barna) Financial Consultants
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That funding for the feasibility study, including services of a pollster, is hereby authorized as follows: (1) For the services of The Lew Edwards Group, the sum of $5,000.00 per month, not to exceed nine (9) months; (2) For the services of a pollster, the sum of$ 20,000.00; and (3) For assessment mailing/direct mail, the sum of $25,000.00; all of said sums to be funded from Account No. 795000-11- 111100-66100-10-2000-0000000. As to the payment for the services of Bond Counsel and the Financial Consultant, both are contingent on the District Governing Board passage of a resolution calling for a General Obligation Ballot Measure in the year 2000 and the passage by the voters by two-thirds vote or greater of those registered voters casting votes at the election on which this Ballot Measure appears. The schedule of fees and charges for Bond Counsel and Financial Consultants are detailed in the back-up memorandum to this Resolution (see Exhibit "C" thereto), the terms of which are incorporated herein. Exhibit 1-5
Dr. Dougherty reported that he had attended the interviews of the two finalists in each category, and all of them were excellent.
Ms. Hughes questioned if the Board is agreeing to spend $50,000 to study whether or not it's feasible to have a bond election. Jerry Patton stated that $75,000 has been set aside in our reserve for elections, and this item would tell us what the public/community would think about the issues we would raise for a bond issue to assist us in our capital finances. Much of the information that would be derived would be the springboard for the second phase of how to develop a campaign to get the bond passed. Even if we decided not to proceed, we would have spent the money on the feasibility study. However, should the Board decide to proceed, the study would be used to determine the strategy we should use to get the bond approved. Ms. Hughes asked if we put the bond on the ballot for a general election, does it cost the District. Jerry responded that we still have to pay a prorated share. Ms. Hughes asked if other districts have found that by not doing the feasibility study in advance, they have a lesser chance of passing the bond. Jerry responded affirmatively. Palomar Community College District July 27, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 24
Mark Vernoy stated that he had recently received a rnerno stating that we are not going to be replacing any people who retire for awhile because we don't have enough money to do things. He stated that he feels we have already missed the window for this type of bond election. Trying to get 2/3 of the voters to vote in favor of a bond for Palomar College is going to be extremely difficult. He feels it might be more prudent to save this money and wait for the effort to reduce the percentage needed to pass bonds to a simple majority. There is a strong initiative being prepared that will probably be on the ballot very soon. It might be to our benefit to wait a year or so to see what happens to that initiative before looking at the feasibility of a bond election. We have heard many times that we are in budget stabilization and that we do not have enough money to do things. He feels it would be prudent to wait awhile before doing the study. He also stated that we have not had a campus-wide discussion of whether or not we want a bond. He feels this study might be a little premature.
Dr. Dougherty stated that whether the 2/3 is lowered to SO percent or not, we are still going to need a bond to do the improvements and new construction that is needed here and in the Poway area. Even if the consultants say that we would get only a S5 percent approval, the results of the study become critical. In the long run, we need a bond election. Everyone on campus should be aware of why we need it and how you decide when and how to do it.
Dr. Boggs stated that he feels this is ground work that needs to be done so that we are ready to go for a bond issue, should the data reveal that a bond issue with certain items on it would be likely to be passed by our voters. We have tremendous needs at this College. Our Facilities Committee spent a great deal of time last year listing all of those projects. We could not make much progress on that list without a bond issue. For new projects coming on line that have to be submitted to the state, there is a 40-year waiting list. If we had to wait 40 more years for another building on this campus or at one of our education centers, most of us wouldn't be around. The last classroom built on this campus was probably erected in the 1970s. Our student population has gone from 8,000 or 10,000 students at that time to 28,000 currently. This study is a responsible thing for the Board to do at this point so that we are prepared should the window appear favorable for us. That might mean waiting until a decision is made regarding the SO percent passage.
Dr. Nelson added that we should consider that the economy is strong right now, and we don't know how long that will last. Bond measures tend to pass when the economy is strong. We need to do this ground work and be poised and ready to take advantage of the economic situation in California.
Jerry Patton reported that a discussion to identify all needs has not yet taken place. If this were to proceed, we would need a broad-based process to be certain we understand all the needs of the campus and that they are included on the list.
Bruce Bishop asked if the study was going to check the feasibility of Palomar College being able to pass a bond issue and then do a mail campaign for us, as well. Jerry Patton responded that there are several components involved in it, but primarily that is correct. The primary effort is to determine if the voters in our District are willing to assist the College with a levy on their property taxes.

1. INFORMATION
Report of the Faculty Senate
Dr. Mark Vernoy reported that the Senate had its first meeting of the semester yesterday. Salary negotiations over the summer were discussed.

2. INFORMATION
Report of The Faculty
Bruce Bishop reported that The Faculty held its first meeting of the year on August 20. The meeting was scheduled last May to bring faculty members up to date on the progress made over the summer regarding the meet-and-confer process.
Bruce extended thanks on behalf of The Faculty for the wonderful orientation. He has heard nothing but positive remarks about it. He thanked Bonnie Dowd for the tremendous job and the effort she expended preparing for the day.
Bruce also thanked everyone in Facilities for their efforts in putting everything back together following construction as quickly as possible.
Bruce thanked everyone who has been involved in the PeopleSoft implementation. These people's patience has been tried many, many times; and he is aware of the frustration they have suffered. He suggested that everyone take time to thank these people for their efforts.
3. INFORMATION
Report of the Administrative Association
Norma Bean echoed some of the remarks made by Bruce Bishop. The Administrative Association is very grateful to the support staff and the administrators who have helped the year begin successfully. She thanked those who spent their weekend getting the campus ready for classes on Monday.
Norma also expressed appreciation for the Admissions and Records staff and other staff members who have helped to make the first couple of days very, very positive.
The Association is looking forward to an extremely progressive, fruitful year. They have begun with Executive Council meetings and setting forth goals. They have had their first meet-and-confer session and look forward to holding more of them with administration on a regular basis so that some of the "undone" business may be completed.
The general membership meeting of the Association has been tentatively planned for September 15. They are hoping to hold informal lunch meetings once a month where they can attempt to build morale and a spirit of association within their group.

4. INFORMATION
Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson reported that, during the week of July 30, he was at UC Santa Cruz, along with executive council members Carmen Eckman, Dolores Silva, and Cindy Kratcoski.
"We were there for the purpose of attending the American Federation of Teachers annual Union Leadership Institute. Carmen was enrolled in Introduction to Grievance Administration. One of the benefits of this class is that it helps new grievance officers recognize the difference between an actual grievance and a misunderstanding. Dolores and Cindy were enrolled in Union 101. This class is very instrumental in helping newly elected officers to understanding their respective roles. Insight is also provided with regards to the state and national federations. I was enrolled in a class called Effective Union Communication. This class dealt with topics such as proper interviewing techniques and the art of oral and written persuasive communication. My class was divided into four groups of three people, and our assignment was to develop a newsletter that utilized what we had learned during the week. Each of us had computers and the latest desk-top publishing software. All of the resulting newsletters were outstanding. My group's newsletter was unique in that the entire front page was a "persuasive" article that I wrote entitled, "THE UNION HAS DONE A LOT WITHOUT YOU ..... Imagine what we can do with you." The entire back page was an interview of me that consisted of my thoughts on some of the past negotiations that I have been involved in at Palomar.
"My purpose in bringing this up is because Palomar is always in the spotlight, whether it be academic or classified excellence. Whenever I attend state and national union activities, I am not only proud to be a representative of CCE/AFT Local 4522. I am equally proud to be a representative from Palomar College. For years Local 4522 has been widely recognized at the local, state, and national fronts. This is due, in part, to the District's quest for academic excellence and Local 4522's commitment to assist the college in this quest, while also showing a strong commitment in representing classified staff employees.
"During the past few weeks, the classified staff has shown their commitment by doing whatever is necessary and possible to work with PeopleSoft. This included working various adjusted work schedules and long hours. I would like to thank Dr. Boggs and all of the Vice Presidents who acknowledged the classified staff's support during their respective addresses during faculty orientation. I was disappointed that the entire classified staff could not be there, because it made me feel good as each of them expressed their thanks and support of the classified staff. My ultimate hope is that, as we go into the year 2000 and the PeopleSoft project has settled down and things are back to normal, the District keeps in mind what the classified staff has done and, in the spirit of negotiations, we will get through smooth and painless negotiations. I had hoped that a lot of the classified staff could be here tonight to support me in showing my thanks for your appreciation and to acknowledge their support because I really appreciate what everybody is doing."
5. INFORMATION
Report of the Associated Student Government
Buddy Rabaya welcomed everyone and stated, "It's nice to sit here and not be passing out these bottles." (The ASG is distributing 20,000 large bottles filled with sample products to students. They are also distributing 10,000 "sipping" bottles.) Buddy stated that he appreciates being able to represent students on issues. Palomar Community College District August 24, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 14
Buddy thanked Phil Morgan for seeing that additional ashtrays were placed around the student union in a very timely manner. The students really appreciate it.
Buddy thanked Mike Ellis for shutting down a noisy operation for 1Y, hours during a final exam upon the request of a student. The entire class was appreciative of Mike's cooperation.
Buddy thanked Jerry Patton and Lise Telson for their direction toward a very successful retreat last week. Joe Madrigal was a guest at the retreat and offered to assist the ASG as they do not presently have an advisor. The group listed many goals and is talking to students to see what they want ASG to accomplish this year. ASG will be the voice of students in the future. The philosophy of the Board is going to be the philosophy of the school.
Buddy stated that some students had commented this morning that Cornet Circle is backed up onto Mission Road because of the construction detours, and it is causing delays for them.
Buddy reported that the Student Union and Student Lounge are very crowded at noon, and people are even silting on the floor. With the PIC Center inside, sealing has been relinquished. He would like to see the PIC Center use less seating so students may be seated, especially during lunch.
Buddy notJd that there have been some "nightmares" with registration. ASG members are trying to diffuse the problem by saying that it's going to get better and there are some "bugs" in it. Basically, people are complaining that they can't crash ii, and there was no knowledge that add slips are no longer needed. ASG is trying to educate the students that they must go to the classes and get permission codes from the instructors, instead of using add slips.
Buddy is working on an ASG partnership with Phil Morgan to improve the condition of restrooms. The 47 clubs on campus will volunteer their time to help paint and clean up the restrooms. Students, faculty, staff members, and guests use these restrooms; consequently, this situation needs to be addressed.
Buddy is looking into a problem with EOPS, because they switched over to vouchers for books. Some of the books are not in stock in our bookstore but are available at the store down the street. The vouchers, however, cannot be used at the store off campus; consequently, this is hindering the learning of sorne of our students.
Buddy stated that he knows we are going to have a successful year. Everyone whose door he has knocked on has been more than welcoming to his suggestions. All ASG needs is a good advisor who will come in and make the changes to help them grow as students and to keep their perspective on the philosophy of the school, not on their own agenda.
6. INFORMA)ION
Report of Superintendent
Dr. Boggs thanked Buddy for the gifts he distributed tonight.
Dr. Boggs also echoed Bruce's and Ernie's comments about the appreciation for the work of our staff in dealing with the infrastructure project and the software conversion. We've had people doing a tremendous amount of work on these projects, and we really appreciate it. Palomar Community College District August 24, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 15
The enrollment report for today shows 19,676 students, which is down 448 students or about 2.2% from last fall. We are not really sure how this is going to "shake down" yet because the system is different. We have students on wait lists, we didn't drop students for nonpayment as we have in the past, but we know that we have a lot of students around, parking lots are full, and traffic is very heavy. We hope registration will continue to pick up additional students.
Kathy Clyne, Chair, Nursing Education Department, asked Dr. Boggs to announce that the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission will be visiting our campus October 12-14, 1999.
One of our students and a member of Phi Theta Kappa, Rodolfo Geronimo, is the author of a poem entitled, "Forming a Line," which was one of 27 entries chosen out of 1,642 submitted for publication in the literary honors anthology of Phi Theta Kappa.
An article featuring Steve Miller, one of our Art faculty members, appears in the September, 1999, issue of "American Artist" magazine. Dr. Boggs circulated the magazine for Board members to view.
We have had a tremendous amount of publicity about Sandra Angelo's exhibit in the Boehm Gallery. Some of the newspapers featuring articles about the exhibit are San Diego Union Tribune, The Reader, North County Times, and Washington Post. There was also a piece in San Diego Home and Garden magazine and a segment on CNN Headline News about the exhibit.

Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye F, HEARINGS OF INDIVIDUALS. GROUPS. AND DELEGATIONS 1. INFORMATION Report of the Faculty Senate Dr. Mark Vernoy reported that, at the Faculty Senate meeting, mostly information items were discussed, The proposed Faculty Salary-Enhancement Plan was presented. A general meeting of The Faculty was scheduled for yesterday where the Plan was again discussed, The Senate will be voting on the Plan next week, Dr. Miyamoto attended the Faculty Senate meeting to discuss the proposed revision to the Sexual Harassment Policy, The Senate would like several parts of the proposed revision to be changed slightly, Dr. Miyamoto agreed to revise and resubmit the Plan to the groups. 2. INFORMATION Report of The Faculty There was no report. 3. INFORMATION Report of the Administrative Association Norma Bean reported that a general membership meeting of the Administrative Association has been planned for October 14. Last week, they had their first brown-bag luncheon in the garden. It was well attended, and they hope to have it again with even better attendance, Palomar Community College District September 28, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 10 The Association has some concerns about the language in the proposed Sexual Harassment Policy revision. Katherine Gannett has collected those comments from the members and has forwarded them to the Faculty Senate to be included in their general discussions. Meet and confer sessions will resume in the near future with Dr. Miyamoto and Mr. Madrigal. 4. INFORMATION Report of the CCE/AFT Ernie Carson reported that he has received a request for negotiation dates from Dr. Miyamoto, so that the CCE may begin negotiations with the District. He will submit these dates within the next few days. Governor Davis has vetoed a CFT-sponsored bill, AB 94. This bill would have designated one seat on the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges for a classified employee of a community college. During the final hours of AB 94's life, the CFT put forth a massive show of support by asking leaders of California locals to fax the Governor and ask him to sign the bill. While the letter-writing campaign did not succeed, it did show a united front. Ernie was honored that his letter was used as an example at the recent annual CFT Council meetings in San Francisco. They are currently waiting to see if Governor Davis will sign SB 400, which would make much-needed improvements within the PERS retirement system. Ernie has sent the Governor a letter asking for his support of this bill. Ernie thanked Dr. Boggs for a very nice letter he sent to Governor Davis on behalf of SB 400. The Wellness Team sponsored a bowling night recently that helped the 37 employees, mostly classified staff, who attended to relieve some of the stress caused by the PeopleSoft implementation. Ernie encouraged faculty and administrators to attend events of this type in the future. Pictures of the event will be posted on the Palomar web site. Within the past couple of weeks, Ernie has spoken with four employees regarding their inability to cope with the pressures being experienced with the PeopleSoft project. In all situations, the employees broke down in tears during the course of the conversation. He let them vent and share their anger, and they seemed to feel better afterward. Ernie suspects that there are more individuals who would come forth to talk with a trained professional. He suggested that administrators reach out to their employees in a manner similar to that of Mr. Madrigal, who held a luncheon for the Student Services employees. These types of events relieve anxiety of employees. Ernie feels we need to do even more, because people are internalizing their stress. He suggested that the District consider bringing EASE counselors to campus to work with affected employees. He requested ideas from Board members on ways to help employees cope with stress. The enthusiasm of employees should not be dampered with the stress that is being brought along. Norma Bean stated that, on behalf of the Administrative Association, she echoes Ernie's remarks regarding the need for assistance in dealing with stress. There is a huge need that needs to be addressed. There are multiple work units on the campus that are under staffed and working phenomenal hours just to meet daily needs without the addition of the PeopleSoft concerns. That creates a tremendous stress and workload with which employees are faced. Palomar Community College District September 28, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 11 5. INFORMATION Report of the Associated Student Government Buddy Rabaya reported that the election held last week showed 2.5 percent of the student body voting. Eight positions were filled, consisting of five Senators and three Vice Presidents. Students are also feeling stress at this lime. Bruce Bishop has been giving the ASG good advice about using humor to relieve stress. Some of the ASG members were involved in welcoming the students from Osaka, Japan, who are on campus this week. They met them and showed them around campus and made hamburgers for them. October 1-3 will be ASG's first CalSACC leadership conference in Los Angeles. This will give the new ASG officers an opportunity to attend some valuable workshops. ASG is continuing to work on Cornet Week, October 4-8. Saturday, October 9, will be the crowning of the Queen and King and their court. 6.

INFORMATION: TENTATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN DISTRICT AND FACULTY REGARDING SALARY-ENHANCEMENT PLAN Tentative agreement has been reached between the District and Faculty regarding a Salary-Enhancement Plan that covers a five- (5) year period beginning July 1, 1999, and ending June 30, 2004. Additionally, agreement has been reached to improve the Faculty Salary Schedules by 2% retroactive to July 1, 1999. Copies of the complete Salary Enhancement Plan have been placed in the Library, Human Resource Services Office, and Faculty Senate Office for those wishing to see the entire document. Highlights of the Salary-Enhancement Plan are included below: Salary-Enhancement Plan Outline The major components of the Salary-Enhancement Plan are: 1. Agreement that COLA will be passed through to Faculty Salary Schedules in the same percentage that COLA is received by the District. For example, if the District receives a 2% COLA from the State, Faculty Salary Schedules will be increased by 2%. 2. Agreement to pass "regular" college growth through to Faculty Salary Schedules via an agreed upon indexed formula. 3. Agreement on a formula that provides faculty with an increased proportionate share of new district growth revenue that can be attributed specially to faculty efforts. The formula is indexed over a five- (5) year period. L. ITEMS PENDING At this time, the Board discussed New Business item 1-2 that was postponed earlier. 2. INFORMATION/DISCUSSION: PALOMAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT'S MARKETING ASSESSMENT REPORT- MAY, 1999- PREPARED BY ECKSTONE COMMUNICATIONS Dr. Dougherty reported that he had requested that this item appear on the agenda because there are many things in the report that the Board should examine. He feels that the over-all thrust of the report is that Palomar is an excellent college and has an excellent reputation. Palomar Community College District September 28, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 27 Dr. Dougherty stated that one area in which we could improve is communication with high school counselors and administrators so that when they think of someone going to college, Palomar is one of their top choices. He feels we need to keep looking for new programs that attract students and help people get jobs that serve the community. At the last meeting, Mike Rourke discussed the possibility of offering computer skills and other vocational programs at the Escondido Center. That has great potential for helping local employers, helping students find jobs, and helping the College raise revenues. Dr. Dougherty noted that there is going to be another major shortage of Registered Nurses in California within the next 15 years. He thinks the state needs to provide special funding to both enlarge the existing programs and to consider starting new ones. Palomar College has had an outstanding R.N. program. It provides people with skills and the ability to get a job, in addition to providing quality R.N.s for hospltals. He would be interested in seeing what Administration, working with the Nursing Education Department, would see as our potential for enlarging the number of students in our program. He realizes we would need additional facilities; perhaps there is room in the Escondido Center. We would also need additional equipment, and special funding for that equipment could be investigated. We would also need to enlarge the faculty in Nursing Education. All these things might be done. He suggested that the Nursing Education Department and Administration study this proposal and decide that, if we had adequate state funding, what would be feasible and what the time schedule would be. This would take time to study and implement. This is one way we could increase our enrollment and possibly get some additional state funding. Dr. Dougherty also stated that this has been an excellent opportunity to review the report and look at things that we can improve, while maintaining the excellence we already have. Diane Michael stated that she understands that one of the main impediments to expanding the nursing program is the lack of clinical sites and the competition for clinical sites among the various programs in the county. She is not sure that expansion is feasible at the present time, even though they are going toward home-based programs. Dr. Dougherty suggested we try to utilize Camp Pendleton's Naval Hospital as we may already do some dental assisting training there. Diane will ask Mike Rourke to investigate this matter. Dr. Boggs commented regarding the Administration's study of this report. One of the themes they identified is that we need to do a better job coordinating with high schools. We would like to make a submission to the Partnership for Excellence Task Force to look at the possible funding of a position that would be responsible for coordinating with the high schools or an office of high school relations. MiraCosta has this kind of model, and it appears to be very effective for them. We do have our Palomar Peers group, which Norma Bean currently coordinates. Presumably, that effort could move to this new high school relations office. Dr. Boggs stated that we are also recipients of two federal grants, the GEAR UP grant, which will enable us to reach out to middle-school students; and Upward Bound, which enables us to reach out to some at-risk high school students. Dr. Boggs stated that Administration has been talking about encouraging some of our faculty members to get out into the high schools. There was some interest in that possibility on the part of the department chairs early in the year. Palomar Community College District September 28, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 28 Dr. Boggs stated that another theme in the report is that we need to do a better job of programming at the education centers. The comment in the report is that the San Marcos campus is convenient to only a small percentage of the District's population. Diane Michael has done a study as to whether a student could get a degree at the centers, and it can be done; therefore, the programs are more coordinated than it seems. Diane Michael stated that Pat Schwerdtfeger will be giving her a complete report on this subject at the end of the month. Dr. Boggs stated that another theme in the report is that there may be some dissatisfaction on the part of employers with the skills of Palomar graduates. The sample size is very small, and he questions the accuracy of that conclusion. Paul Kelly will be surveying employers to get a better feeling for their needs in terms of the qualifications of our graduates. Dr. White stated that she was surprised about the comment that some employers are dissatisfied with our students because, in the past, we have heard nothing but glowing comments. Dr. Boggs stated that there are a couple of comments that come to mind. One of the businesses surveyed employs current Palomar students, not graduates. It has been a great thing for our students because they get funds to continue their education. It has also been very good for this particular business. However, the employer complained that these students had very poor math skills. That's a very isolated circumstance and certainly does not talk about our graduates, because the students he employs could be brand-new students to Palomar. The other comment was from another long-time supporter of the College, who is concerned that we charge a lot for contract education for businesses. He is a donor to the College and feels that, as he supports it, it should not cost him so much for us to put on a training program for his business. The answer to that is that it is not state supported, and we have to charge the full costs when we go into a business. Dr. Boggs reiterated that he feels the data is too limited to make the aforementioned conclusions. He is certain Paul Kelly will provide much better information as a result of his survey. Paul Kelly briefly described the survey he is conducting. Ernie Carson stated that he has not seen the report, but he understands, from the statistics of the various ethnic groups surveyed, that the African-American community was not included. Palomar has a lot to offer African Americans, as witnessed by the fact that many who have started here have gone on to bigger and better things. He was anxious to see the perception of the African-American community in the report and was dismayed to find it missing. In future studies, it would be great to include this diverse group. Dr. Nelson stated that she was glad to hear that the link between our staff and high schools could be strengthened. She would like to see what we could do about shared staff-development activities or any number of things that would enhance that critical link of departments meeting with their counterparts in the high schools in our attendance area. Often times, these people can teach part time. There are all kinds of links that can be forged. She encouraged the staff to do whatever they can to promote this. Dr. Boggs stated that a couple of our department chairs spoke strongly along those same lines. These are departments that have historically gone out and recruited students in high schools. Palomar Community College District September 28, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 29 Dr. Nelson stated that having social get-togethers for new students entering departments, such as those done at four-year institutions, works very well to make them feel welcome on the campus. This kind of thing builds department loyalty and cohesion as well as making new students feel welcome. Dr. Boggs stated that Norma Bean did a survey of students right after registration to find out their perceptions. There were serious concerns about parking. This is something that has been plaguing Palomar for a long time and something that we need to develop some plans to address, perhaps through the bond issue. There were concerns about registration problems about which we were aware because the PeopleSoft implementation has not gone as smoothly as we would have liked. Eventually, we will get through those problems. Dr. Boggs stated that one of the themes in the marketing report is that the education centers are going to be very important for the future of the College. We need to proceed as best we can with the development of the Southern Education Center and provide services at our other education centers. We also have the factors of the economy being strong in our area, which is retarding our growth and enrollment somewhat; and we have a brand-new university nearby that is up 14 percent in enrollment and is recruiting heavily for freshmen and sophomores. We could do something about some of these factors, but some of them are out of our hands. Dr. George Mozes commented that the North County Higher Education Alliance (NCHEA) has also performed a study which may be helpful to us. M. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS Dr. Dougherty commented that all of us were disappointed that the financing for a dental hygiene program simply is not there. It is his opinion that a dental hygiene program at this institution is not feasible until such time as there is a heavy and reliable outside subsidy program. It would operate at such a loss that we could not, in good faith, do it. We cannot start a program that is going to lose money every year. He feels we gave the idea a very fair hearing and looked at it carefully. Dr. Rourke did an excellent job of presenting the entire picture, and it is simply not feasible. Dr. White noted that she was surprised that the dentists are not willing to help financially as the program is so important to them. Dr. Dougherty stated that he thinks they would help, but it would not be nearly enough to subsidize it year after year. They would not be interested in a long-term major pledge. Dr. Nelson congratulated Ann Boggs and her committee for the wonderful President's Associates gala event. Dale Wallenius did a wonderful and energetic job of graciously running it. It was a marvelous success. Dr. Nelson reported that she had enjoyed and worked hard at the Arboretum clean-up last Saturday. She was glad she participated. Ms. Hughes reported that she had attended the Professional Development presentation on "Beyond Diversity" by Glen Singleton last weekend. She found it very thought provoking and very good for her personally. Most of the people who attended got the same feeling after participating. She was happy to see so many adjunct faculty members in attendance. Mr. Jensen stated that he must regrettably concur with Dr. Dougherty'& remarks about a dental hygiene program.

CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR There were no items removed from the Consent Calendar. F. HEARINGS OF INDIVIDUALS, GROUPS, AND DELEGATIONS 1 . INFORMATION Report of the Faculty Senate Dr. Mark Vernoy reported that the Faculty Senate had met last week and discussed the Faculty Salary-Enhancement Plan that is being proposed. A decision was made to postpone the vote in the Senate and to schedule a meeting of The Faculty to discuss the matter. It is likely that this will eventually be taken to the entire faculty for a vote. 2. INFORMATION Report of The Faculty There was no report. 3. INFORMATION Report of the Administrative Association Norma Bean reported that the first general membership meeting of the year will be held on October 14. A meet and confer session has been scheduled with Dr. Miyamoto and Mr. Madrigal for Monday, October 18. One of the items that the Association wants to address is the criteria that the District uses in determining how positions are placed within the four subgroups of the Association. 4. INFORMATION Report of the CCE/AFT Ernie Carson stated that he continues to express grave concern for the mental and physical toll that the PeopleSoft project is having on the classified staff. Ernie gave the following report: "Mary Bergan, president of the California Federation of Teachers (CFT), recently appointed me to the CFT retirement committee. This past Saturday, I attended my first committee meeting, which was held at the San Francisco Airport Westin Hotel. The 16- member committee consists of three classified staff representatives from throughout California, along with representatives from faculty, adult education, and retired faculty. Our goals for 1999-2000 include getting additional legislation to help retirees and doing a better job of understanding and educating our respective peers about the retirement offerings. Palomar Community College District October 12, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 6 "During the past couple of weeks, the classified staff at Palomar College has been the focus of recruitment visits by representatives of the California School Employees Association (CSEA). During one late evening visit last week, these representatives were successful in getting some classified employees to sign cards. CSEA told the classified staff members that these signatures were required in order to allow the CSEA representatives to gain access to the Palomar College campus, but the ultimate goal of this deceitful tactic was to gain enough signatures so that PERS will call for an employee vote to determine whether or not to decertify the CCE/AFT. "While I feel that the minimum requirement of 30% of the signatures from staff will be difficult to attain, I am taking CSEA's attempts to decertify the CCE/AFT as an extremely serious matter, and I would deal with it as such. "I would like to go on record as stating that I will defend the CCE/AFT's right and privilege to be the collective bargaining agent for Palomar's classified staff by any means necessary." 5. INFORMATION Report of the Associated Student Government There was no report. 6. INFORMATION Report of Superintendent Dr. Boggs congratulated the students and The Telescope for the fine showing at the recent Journalism Association of the Community Colleges Southern California Conference. They received many awards, among them are General Excellence for Online Journalism; 2"d place in Advertising Design, Daniel Kwan; Column Writing Honorable Mentions, Tom Chambers and Rich Miron; 2"d place for Editorial, Jessica Long; Honorable Mention for Headlines; 2"d place for Inside Page Design, Melody Cruz; 2"° place and Honorable Mention for Line Illustration, Irving Martinez; 1st place in Editorial Writing, Amy Bolaski, Honorable Mention, Tom Chambers; 4th place in Copy Editing, Daniel Kwan; 4th place in Feature Story, Sean O'Conner, Honorable Mention, Tom Chambers; 4th place in Front Page Design, Daniel Kwan; Honorable Mention in News Photo, Sean Colburn; 1st place in News Story, Jessica Long; 3'd place in Sports Photo, Johnny Rabago, 4th place, Chris Weedon; 2"d place in Sports Story, Anthony Saavedra, 3' place, Mike Stevens. One of our adjunct instructors in Public Safety Programs, Lorraine Brealey, was just selected to participate in a nation-wide training program for sexual assault investigation by the National Center for Women and Policing. She was selected because of her outstanding credentials and extensive training in the area of sexual assault. Dr. Boggs congratulated Jim Gilardi from our Life Science Department. Jim and his students spotted a night snake on one of the islands visited as part of the Sea of Cortez Field Course last year. They confirmed this as the first official recording of the species on the island and submitted a report for publication in Herpetological Review. Dr. Boggs congratulated Kendra Jeffcoat on being named as a finalist for the "San Diego Women Who Mean Business Award." Palomar Community College District October 12, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 7 Dr. Boggs reported that our GEAR UP Grant has been recognized as being ranked 1st in California and 15th in the nation, out of 800 applications submitted. Dr. Boggs reported that local colleges are reporting enrollment figures as follows: There are only two that are down in enrollment, the San Diego Education and Cultural Center, which is the San Diego Community College District's adult education program, is down 3.6%, and Palomar is down 1.3%. All the other colleges are up, with the highest being CSU San Marcos, which is up 14%, and San Diego Miramar College, which is up 9.4%. We hope to turn Palomar's trend around as early as next semester. Dr. Boggs reported that, at a CEO Academy meeting last year, Glendale College has developed an option in their phone-in registration for students to voluntarily make donations to their foundation. They raise about $6,000 per semester, which is a modest amount of money; but we would have the ability with our new registration system to give students the option to choose to donate back to the College. Dr. Boggs proposed that, when we get all our other problems with the registration system resolved, we explore that possibility. Dr. Boggs stated that SAN DAG has asked us to co-host a workshop on Regional Growth Management in North County. It will be held Saturday, November6, 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the Poway Community Center. If Board members are concerned about the College co-hosting this event, they were asked to notify Dr. Boggs. Dr. Boggs asked Bonnie Dowd to present to the Board the awards for institutional merit for the College and for individual merit for Bonnie that were received at the recent NCSPOD conference. She thanked Dr. Boggs, Diane Michael, and Jack Miyamoto for their parts in the nomination for these awards. Bonnie also discussed the workshop Palomar presented entitled, "Two Sides of the Same Coin." Bonnie also reported that Dr. Boggs was the keynote speaker at the Friday session of the conference. Exhibit F-6 7. INFORMATION Report of Other Organizations and/or Individuals a. Narcotics Anonymous Elaine James, Chair, North County Inland Area of Narcotic Anonymous, thanked the Board and presented the College with a plaque for opening its doors to the recovering addicts of North County Inland Narcotics Anonymous.

APPROVE PROPOSED REVISION OF BP 11.1 - GOVERNING BOARD - SERVICES MSC Dougherty, Jensen RESOLUTION 99-19753 BE IT RESOLVED, That the Governing Board of the Palomar Community College District hereby approves the revision of Board Policy 11.1 - Governing Board - Services to include the underlined sentence as follows: "Governing Board members and the non-voting student member are compensated for their services within the limits established by law. Compensation for the non-voting student trustee will be set by the Governing Board on or before May 15 of each year. Board members, except for the non voting student member, may elect to receive health and welfare benefits extended to District employees. Adopted compensation is found in EC 72023.5, 72425." Dr. Dougherty noted that this policy change is necessary to indicate that we are in compliance with state law. The Vote was unanimous. I. NEW BUSINESS 1. INFORMATION: MIDTERM ACCREDITATION RESPONSE Diane Michael distributed copies of the response to the accreditation team's recommendations. At the next Board meeting, a more complete report will be presented. Dr. Boggs noted that we will need the Board and the constituent groups to sign off on the report. Exhibit 1-1 2.

PERKINS VOCATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION ACT OF 1990 !TECH PREP REGIONAL COORDINATION CENTER GRANT 99-335-0011 MSC Dougherty, Jensen RESOLUTION 99-19754 BE IT RESOLVED, That a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is approved between the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) and the Palomar Community College District (Palomar) for services funded by the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technology Education Act of 1990, under a program through the Tech Prep Regional Coordination Center providing regional and state leadership in Tech Prep and School-to Career in community colleges. This agreement shall be effective from July 1, 1999, until June 30, 2000. Palomar Community College District October 12, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 9 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That SDCCD will pay Palomar $13,360.00, based upon 20% replacement costs of Nancy Galli's contract and 64 hours overload per semester at the hourly rate for Nancy Galli, to provide the services required under this grant. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That SDCCD will pay Palomar $7,860.00 for 30 days of the contract for Lydia Signorelli, to provide the services required under this grant. Exhibit 1-2 Ms. Hughes requested information as to Ms. Galli's and Ms. Signorelli's services to be provided. Diane Michael stated that Ms. Gall i's responsibilities are to organize, develop, and coordinate beach camp for professors, a five-day institute for community college and university faculty. She creates the schedule and designs the curriculum for the five days, secures the location facility, arranges for job-shadow opportunities for each participant with businesses throughout the San Diego area, and facilitates the institute. Basically, the institute is designed to assist them in integrating academic and workforce preparation. Ms. Galli also prepares and makes presentations about the integration of academic preparation with workforce preparation at Academic Senate meetings statewide and other meetings. Ms. Signorelli-Brown has been requested to work for the regional center grant. She has developed an overview of tech-prep articulation and is to identify the best practices and problem areas, to research articulation procedures and policies throughout the state with a goal of providing a process for articulation of transferable courses. She meets with the education issues and practices subcommittee on articulation and admissions regarding issues of articulated transferable courses with high schools, and she is working with a woman in the San Diego Community College District to provide a best-practices workshop. These services are being provided state wide. The Vote was unanimous. J. INSTRUCTIONAL/OPERATIONAL REPORTS 1. Community Development Update Kendra Jeffcoat presented a report on community involvement, not only of the President's Office, but of faculty and staff members, many on their own time. Exhibit J-1 2. Emergency Call Boxes Update Mike Ellis presented a report on the features and expense involved in installing 15 call boxes in strategic areas on campus. Exhibit J-2 Dr. Nelson pointed out that because not all classrooms have phones, this becomes very important whenever there is a climate of fear for students, faculty, or staff. She feels that having some type of telephonic communication available in every building complex is essential. Mike stated that our long-term goal would be to have that many phones available, and this proposal is phase one. Palomar Community College District October 12, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 10 K.

INFORMATION Report of The Faculty Dr. Mark Vernoy reported that The Faculty will meet tomorrow to discuss and, hopefully, vote on the proposed salary-enhancement plan; however, it will most likely go to a mail ballot of all faculty members. This would take at least ten days. 3. INFORMATION Report of the Administrative Association Norma Bean reported that she is proud to be serving as President of the Administrative Association this year and to be representing such a fine group of people. She noted that the Association also believes there are outstanding people within the Association, the Classified Staff, and the Faculty. They have some concerns, however, that the work units are being overly stressed in recent times with some of the PeopleSoft implementation problems. They have concerns both at the administrative level and for those they supervise. The workloads are such that there are institution-wide concerns for the mental health and well-being of all of these people. She requested that the District encourage employees to take advantage of the EASE program and whatever other services are available for counseling, etc. She hopes the College values its employees enough to get them the support they need to continue making their valued contributions to the institution. 4. INFORMATION Report of the CCE/AFT Ernie Carson requested that if the Board approves the resolution on tonight's agenda to offer the Supplemental Early Retirement Plan, the District consider providing a presentation to the Classified Staff as there are many questions that he is unable to answer. Ernie also concurred with Norma Bean's remarks regarding concern about the stress level of Classified Staff members and the College in general. He noted that chair massages were being given by the representatives of Kaiser Permanente during the recent benefits open enrollment. He feels this would be a nice benefit for employees who are stressed. 5.

PERSONNEL 1. APPROVE RECLASSIFICATIONS MSC Dougherty, Jensen RESOLUTION 99-19775 BE IT RESOLVED, Thatthe reclassification of the following positions be approved: a.

Position is currently a faculty position performing the administrative duties of Director of TRIO Programs. The Vote was unanimous. Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye Mark Vernoy stated that the Faculty Senate is opposed to changing the Director of TRIO Programs from a faculty position to an administrative position. Joe Madrigal pointed out that the faculty ranks did gain an additional member with the reassignment of P. J. DeMaris. Mark stated that he did not agree with this because Ms. DeMaris was reassigned last year before this reclassification was proposed and that the reassignment was not done with this reclassification in mind. Dr. Dougherty noted that this issue has come up before, and the issue is not the number of faculty but whether or not it is determined that a faculty member or counselor is really performing an administrative role. It makes sense to place them where they seem to belong. As time goes by, jobs on this campus change from one type of classification to another because of an evolution in the work assignment. It appears that the duties of the position in question are more the duties of an administrator, rather than a faculty member. Dr. Boggs stated that he has discussed this matter with Mark, and he appreciates Mark's concerns, and he understands the Faculty Senate's position. We have researched this with the federal officials since we have added the Upward Bound grant, and their regulations state that this should be an administrative position. We have taken this reclassification through the shared governance process by way of the Staff Priorities Committee.

BE IT RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Board hereby adopts that certain plan known as the Palomar Community College District Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan, effective July 1, 2000.

BE IT RESOLVED FURTHER, That, for purposes of the limitations on contributions and benefits under the Plan, as prescribed by section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the "limitation year" shall be the Plan Year, as defined under the terms and provisions of the Plan. BE IT RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Board hereby appoints Keenan & Associates as the contract administrator to assist the District in the implementation and administration of the Plan. BE IT RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Board hereby authorizes and directs the Assistant SuperintendenWice President of Human Resources to take the following actions: Palomar Community College District October 26, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 18 a.

Contract with Keenan & Associates as contract administrator to provide all services described in the contract. c.

Several vendors made presentations to the Benefits Committee, and the committee recommended Keenan & Associates as the contract administrator. Jack noted that separate meetings will be held for each employee group within a week regarding the plan's details and options. After those meetings have taken place, STRS and PERS will hold meetings on campus for those persons who are interested in considering the possibility of retiring near the close of this school year.

One of the things he found of interest was a discussion on the need to orient the campus to a new police department. Dr. Dougherty will speak with Tom Plotts regarding setting up such a program here. Dr. Dougherty also described the cumbersome procedure ACCT used to elect board members. He asked the Board's permission to compose a letter to ACCT on behalf of the Board outlining suggestions to improve the election process and its fairness. Dr. Dougherty also noted that one district had given away a piece of real property owned by the district to a non-profit organization. He expressed his concern with such an action.

The Vote was unanimous. Resumption of REGULAR AGENDA E. CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR There were no items removed from the Consent Calendar. F. HEARINGS OF INDIVIDUALS, GROUPS, AND DELEGATIONS 1. INFORMATION Report of the Faculty Senate Dr. Mark Vernoy reported that the Faculty Senate met once since the last Board meeting for a general discussion but took no action. Palomar Community College District November 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page S 2. INFORMATION Report of The Faculty Dr. Mark Vernoy reported that The Faculty is in the process of voting on the proposed Salary-Enhancement Plan. The vote will be final by the end of next week. After the votes have been tallied, the results will be communicated to the Board. A ballot is also out to replace Bruce Bishop as President of The Faculty with Anne Hohman and Bob Sterken as candidates. Sherry Gordon and Lee Kerckhove are running for Vice President, a position that has been vacant for over a year. This is the first time in several years that there have been contested elections for officers of The Faculty. 3. INFORMATION Report of the Administrative Association Norma Bean reported that the members of the Administrative Association have noted that staff members are now provided free beverages in the staff lounge, and they extended their appreciation for this to Food Services. A meet and confer session is scheduled for November 22. Several issues will be introduced at that meeting. The most important are the continued discussion of the Professional Development policy, the initial placement on the salary schedule for Administrative Association members, and the concept of promotion as it is currently outlined in the handbook. Although the stress level of some employees has been discussed at previous Board meetings, Norma felt it is important for all persons not to lose sight of the reason we are here, and that is to serve the students. She believes the Administrative Association members are committed to doing that. Dr. White added that we, as a college, are more concerned for our students than any other group she has seen. 4. INFORMATION Report of the CCE/AFT Ernie Carson reported that the CCE/AFT's negotiation team met with District representatives recently and laid the groundwork for upcoming sessions. They are scheduled to meet again in early December. Ernie reported that he received a letter from representatives of the California School Employees Association, along with a document they have submitted to the Public Employees Relations Board. They are going after our custodians, groundskeepers, maintenance and food services employees in an effort to separate them from the CCE/AFT. Ernie has major concerns regarding the content of the document that was submitted to PERB and has spoken with his union's attorneys. CCE/AFT is also developing a strategy with the assistance of the CFT offices in Burbank and Oakland. Palomar Community College District November 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 9 It appears that CSEA probably felt that they couldn't get the signatures of 30% of the entire classified staff to bring about a decertification vote, so they are going after the facilities and food services employees. One of the union's national organizing representatives didn't think that PERB would go along with that but noted that PERB has taken unexpected actions previously. CCE/AFT is taking this matter very seriously and, after meeting with individuals in the facilities area, is confident that once our employees are shown what they would be facing if they did vote to go with CSEA, they would not choose to do so. They have also been attempting to clarify some of the false statements that the CSEA representatives have made. 5. This item was postponed to later in the meeting 6. INFORMATION Report of Superintendent Dr. Boggs noted that we received an E-mail from Buddy Rabaya indicating that he is resigning from his position as ASG President and Student Trustee for personal reasons. The ASG constitution provides that the Executive Vice President automatically assumes the role of ASG President in this instance. We expect Diane Vasquez to be sworn in as the new Student Trustee after her arrival this evening. The Boehm Gallery has been receiving a great deal of favorable press recently. KPBS has printed two articles about recent exhibits in the Gallery, and there is also a feature in the November, 1999, issue of San Diego Home and Garden. The current exhibit in the Gallery is a combination of quilts and glass. Dr. Boggs encouraged the Board members to visit the exhibit. Dr. Boggs congratulated Dr. Doris Pichon on recently being awarded her doctorate degree. Bruce Bishop introduced Diane Vasquez, who will be assuming the positions of ASG President and Student Trustee. Bruce also introduced Shannon Gyde, who will be assuming the position of ASG Executive Vice President. ADMINISTRATION OF OATH OF OFFICE TO STUDENT TRUSTEE At this time, Dr. Boggs administered the Oath of Office to the new Student Trustee, Diane Vasquez. 5. INFORMATION Report of the Associated Student Government Diane Vasquez apologized for being late to the meeting. She stated that she is excited to be a part of the Board and is looking forward to working with everyone. Palomar Community College District November 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 10 7.

Palomar Community College District November 9, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 16 Dr. White commented that the condition of the parking lot during the construction period is very annoying.

Dr. Boggs noted that we are nearing the completion of the construction project, and things should improve at that time.

Resumption of REGULAR AGENDA E. CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR There were no items removed from the Consent Calendar. F. HEARINGS OF INDIVIDUALS. GROUPS, AND DELEGATIONS 1. INFORMATION Report of the Faculty Senate Dr. Mark Vernoy reported that the Senate had voted this week to unanimously support offering benefits for domestic partners. Mark asked the other employee groups to support this, as well. 2. INFORMATION Report of The Faculty Dr. Mark Vernoy reported that Anne Hohman has been elected President and Sherry Gordon has been elected Vice President of The Faculty. The Faculty voted and has accepted the Salary-Enhancement Plan by a five-to-one margin. They are looking forward to working with the Board and the administration to make the plan work. Palomar Community College District November 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 7 3. INFORMATION Report of the Administrative Association Norma Bean reported that the Association has been busy pursuing some of its goals. They held another brown-bag luncheon last week, where an exchange of ideas took place. Norma reported that the luncheon was as equally well-attended as the first. The luncheons will continue so members can continue to exchange ideas. Another meet-and-confer session was held yesterday. The group discussed the salary guidelines in the handbook, which most directly pertain to what was originally considered initial placement and which the Association is proposing be deleted so that current employees are not discriminated against as they compete for positions with outside candidates. The group also edited and provided its response to administration on its proposed Professional Development Program. They are hopeful that this might be resolved so that the program may move forward. Jerry Patton had given an informative presentation on the Faculty Salary-Enhancement Plan to the Executive Council. The Association commends the faculty and administration for developing this forward-thinking plan. Norma stated that she understands that discussions with the faculty have taken place over several months. She also understands that the initial discussions were made at the suggestion of the Governing Board following a period of battling for COLA. The Administrative Association has been told that the same offer will be made to the other employee groups, a prospect they are eagerly anticipating. The Executive Council has suggested that, in the future, these dialogues happen concurrently, rather than letting the faculty settle their concerns first. The Administrative Association is the smallest employee group on campus, representing approximately ten per cent of the employees. Historically, employees hear phrases in meetings such as, "the faculty are top dogs" and "this is faculty-driven institution." The Administrative Association realizes that the faculty is responsible for contributing most directly to learning outcomes in the classroom. However, they also recognize that the Administrative Association's members and the Classified Staff provide support that is absolutely essential to student outcomes and success. Without that kind of support, the success we have here at Palomar would not be possible. The Association would appreciate it if, in the future, starting with the Governing Board and the executive administration, we start thinking in terms of the entire collegial atmosphere, and that terms such as "top dogs," etc., be put aside. Perhaps, when there is dialogue for salary plans that affect the entire institution, there may be a way that all groups would be apprised of the ongoing dialogue or somehow participate, rather than making the other groups feel like, "if you're lucky, you'll get it, too: Norma pointed out that each employee's role is important to the institution and none should be considered more important than another. We each make a unique contribution; and we collectively make Palomar the fine institution it is. The Administrative Association would appreciate being better informed in the future. Norma stated that we need to value each individual and each group on an equal playing field. Palomar Community College District November 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 8 4. INFORMATION Report of the CCE/AFT Ernie Carson stated that he would take Mark Vernoy's request regarding benefits for domestic partners back to the Executive Council. Ernie reported that the CCE is looking forward to its next negotiation session with the District's representatives. This past weekend, Ernie attended California's annual state CCE conference. It was held in Long Beach on the Queen Mary, and an estimated 200-300 people were in attendance. The theme of the conference was "U2K - UNION 2000, SECURING OUR FUTURE." The conference started on Friday afternoon and concluded early Saturday evening. The keynote speaker for the Saturday luncheon was Assemblyman Carl Washington, Democrat, 52"" Assembly District. Several workshops were available for the attendees' choice. As usual, the representatives from Palomar played a very important role throughout the conference. Cindy Kratcoski, CCE vice president, was the moderator of a workshop entitled, "Can They Do That? Know Your Rights," which focused on "Knowing Your Rights and Responsibilities As A Union Leader." Discussion also focused on "Learning Systems for Handling Grievances" and "Understanding Duty of Fair Representation Charges." The latter helped define the line between union involvement and court litigation. Barbara Clay was the moderator of the workshop, "Take This Job and Reclassify It," which focused on learning how to approach and conduct job classifications that are fair and equitable for all classified employees in the union. Ernie Carson was the moderator of the general session, "Union 2000 - Securing our Future," panel discussion. Topics discussed centered around union organizing and union member political involvement. CCEIAFT Local 4522 will hold two off-campus meetings on December 1, 1999, at Rossi's Pizza on Rancho Santa Fe Road. The meeting will be open to all classified staff members, both union and non-union employees. The purpose of the meeting will be to increase the communication between the union and all classified employees. Our primary focus will be on listening to and addressing the concerns of the facilities employees and explaining "Why the Palomar College CCEIAFT is the Union For You." In order to accommodate the employees of all shifts, two separate meetings will be held on that day. Notifications will be sent out during the next few days via phone calls and flyers. It was noted that no District equipment or resources are being used in disseminating notification of this event. Palomar Community College District November 23, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 9 5. INFORMATION Report of the Associated Student Government Diane Vasquez reported that Johnny Rabago, ASG Senator, is working on a resolution allocating up to $6,500 for replacing the tile in the lobby of the Dome. ASG members attended a conference at SDSU last weekend. ASG members will be participating in the San Marcos Kiwanis Club Parade on Decembers. 6. INFORMATION Report of Superintendent Dr. Boggs congratulated Fergal O'Doherty, Assistant Professor, English, for his presentation at the California Center for the Arts Museum Gallery. Dr. Boggs congratulated Bill Flynn for being the keynote presenter at the annual conference of the Continuing Education Association of New York. Bill Flynn and Lynda Halttunen were congratulated for being recognized at the CCLC Convention for being "out-of-the-box thinkers." Dr. Boggs congratulated Diane Michael for chairing the annual California Community Colleges CIO Conference in San Diego last month. Dr. Boggs reported on the recent change to San Diego State University's admissions policies. The new policy will give preference to students in the SDSU service area. SDSU has decided that Palomar College is not in their service area. This will be discussed with Steve Weber, President of SDSU, at the next SDICCCA meeting. We will attempt to maintain a SDICCCA-wide agreement, rather than singling out various colleges within San Diego and Imperial Counties. SDSU will honor the transfer agreement for Palomar students who have been under the guaranteed transfer program and maintain a 2.6 GPA They will even allow students with lower GPAs than that to be admitted if there isn't a program at CSUSM that will accommodate them. 7.

Mark introduced Anne Hohman, the newly elected President of The Faculty. 2. INFORMATION Report of The Faculty There was no report. 3. INFORMATION Report of the Administrative Association Norma Bean reported that the Administrative Association will have its second general membership meeting of the year this Thursday.

Norma thanked the Board for considering making December 28 a paid holiday this year. 4. INFORMATION Report of the CCE/AFT Ernie Carson reported that classified employees are participating in various year-end activities ranging from setup and preparation for Spring and Summer, 2000, to a wide range of holiday activities. The CCE is currently awaiting a decision from the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) on the CSEA issue. Palomar Community College District December 14, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 10 Ernie reported that this has been a very interesting year for classified employees. Uppermost on everyone's mind is PeopleSoft. Although we have yet to declare total victory in our "PeopleSoft War," the classified staff is noticing that software stability is gradually becoming a reality. Ernie stated that, while his comments in previous meetings have been about the impact of PeopleSoft on staff, students, faculty, and administrators, he would like to take a moment to tell the ASG President, Diane Vasquez, that the classified staff really appreciates the patience and understanding the students have exhibited during these difficult times. The students could have turned the days of our classified staff into nightmares. Choosing not to do so and go down that path is symbolic of the character and makeup of our student body. 5. INFORMATION Report of the Associated Student Government Diane Vasquez reported that ASG is planning a retreat for January 13 and will be working on the "Welcome Week" plan. 6. INFORMATION Report of Superintendent Dr. Boggs welcomed Anne Hohman to the meetings. Dr. Boggs announced that Kendra Jeffcoat has successfully defended her doctoral dissertation. Dr. Boggs attended a luncheon today with Sam Stein and several of the nursing students who have received Sam's scholarship. It is heartwarming to listen to these students, many of whom are single parents who could not have gone to college without the kind of help that Sam provides with these scholarships. Last night, Dr. Boggs attended the ESL awards ceremony at the Escondido Center. The instructors gave awards to their most-outstanding students. It was another heartwarming event where he saw what we are doing for many of these students. The students presented him with a publication they produced that shows pictures of the students and tells a little bit about each of them. Dr. Boggs read part of a message to John Woods that he received from the Athletic Director at Bakersfield College regarding Palomar's recent participation in the Potato Bowl. "John, I want you to know that I was so impressed with your whole school this weekend, but especially how Coach Craft, the players, and his staff, including you, handled themselves after the game. It was total class. You and I know that this isn't always the case. The people I've talked to say this is one of the best Potato Bowls ever. If Palomar College is indicative of the class and ability of the Mission Conference, then we want in. John, you, as Athletic Director, can be very proud of your organization." Dr. Boggs stated that this kind of message is important to him because it shows the kind of work that our coaches do in instilling important values in our players. Palomar Community College District December 14, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 11 Dr. Boggs reported that he had received a note from an outstanding alumna, Teresa Chamberlain. She came to Palomar as an economically disadvantaged student, entered our TRIO program, was a financial aid student, and was in Phi Theta Kappa. She had a dream of going to Mt. Holyoke, and the dream came true. She received her Bachelor's degree there and went on to get her Master's degree at Marlboro. She now has a career in web site development. She is another success story from Palomar. Photos of Palomar's Child Development Center are featured in a book, "Revisiting Children's Outdoor Environments, "which is published in Canada. Dr. Boggs informed the Board that the next meeting is scheduled for January 11, 2000. He will be in Guam for an Accreditation Commission meeting on that date, and Diane Michael will be assuming his responsibilities in his absence. The national legislative seminar will be held in Washington, D.C., February 26-29, 2000. The registration deadline is January 7. We are trying to conserve our resources, but if anyone is interested in attending, it would be good to get the registration in early. We have had trouble getting in the right hotel when reservations are not made in a timely manner. 7.

APPROVE DECEMBER 28, 1999, AS A PAID HOLIDAY FOR ALL PERMANENT AND PROBATIONARY STAFF MSC Dougherty, Hughes RESOLUTION 99-19849 WHEREAS, the Governing Board of the Palomar Community College District wishes to acknowledge the Palomar College staff for their additional duties, responsibilities, and hard work associated with the infrastructure project and the PeopleSoft software conversion and to demonstrate their sincere appreciation; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, Thatthe Governing Board of the Palomar Community College District, approve December 28, 1999, as a paid holiday for all permanent and probationary staff. The Vote was unanimous. Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye Ernie Carson stated, "Since the 1999-2000 holiday calendar was inadvertently published and distributed without a Council of Classified Employees (CCE) vote, I have been like a gnat in Dr. Miyamoto's ear. For me to have been persistent on this issue since the August time frame can only be attributed to my taking notes from past ASG president, Xavier Corona. Palomar Community College District December 14, 1999 Governing Board Minutes Page 22 "But on a serious note, I've always felt that, in lieu of complicating this issue with a delayed CCE vote, if the District were to grant the staff a paid holiday on December 28, this would send out a tremendous message. With the advent of PeopleSoft, the classified staff employees, along with our brothers and sisters in the other units, have been performing feats that approach the level of miracles. Walking through the various departments on campus, you could see the daily display of a 'can-do attitude,' the daily display of 'we've got to put on a positive face for our students,' and the daily display of 'although I am frustrated, I've got to make this damn thing work.' "My continuous message to Dr. Miyamoto was, 'Let's do something to show the employees that the District does care.' Although this is a special one time resolution and is referencing just one day, I've had several senior employees tell me that this is the first time that the classified staff has not had to use a vacation or comp day in order to be paid during the holiday season. "Within the past week, as the rumors began to fly and anticipation began to arise that the chances of getting an extra paid day might actually happen, the smiles and the upbeat moods and the words of disbelief were worth their weight in gold. "You all will probably never fully realize the extent of my gratitude. I'll say this again because it is actually music to my ears, and I can never say this enough: For the first time, your classified employees will not have to sacrifice a vacation day or a comp day in order to receive pay when the College is officially closed for the December holiday season. And being a true union person, it is my hope that this gesture by the District will eventually become one of our future collective bargaining pillars. "In closing, and on behalf your classified employees, I would like to sincerely say to the Governing Board members, Dr. Boggs, and his executive administration, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' You may think that you've taken a small step, but this is one step that will echo though every hall, every building, and every site of our illustrious institution." Respectfully submitted, Ernie Carson, President, CCE/AFT Local 4522. L. ITEMS PENDING M. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS Dr. Dougherty wished everyone a happy holiday season.
