Associated Students of Merced College Agenda, Goals, and Plans 2014-2015

Page 1 Goals of ASMC

1.Promote and work towards the wellbeing, knowledge, skills, and success of our fellow students and Merced College 2.Promote and work towards the improvement of Merced College and the lives of our fellow students 3.Promote, work towards and lay the foundation for a fully sustainable, clean, and efficient Merced College Page 2 Sustainability Challenge

•Merced College should be completely sustainable by 2025.

•As close to Zero Waste as possible

•As close to being Self Sustaining as possible

Page 3 Why?

•Self Reliance •Long Term Reductions in Costs •Moral High Ground •Awareness Concerning the Subject is Dangerously Low •Sustainability means we can continue to operate •Sets a good example

Page 4 Why?

•Our survival and the survival of not only all human beings but all living things on earth is dependent on the environment and its ability to sustain us.

•It is generational tyranny to not only consume more than our share of non-renewable resources but to pollute and damage the environment in the process. This essentially robs future generations of the same standard of living we are accustom to. Page 5

WHY?

•Resource depletion is real, it is unwise and unrealistic to wait for our remaining fossil fuels to be completely depleted before we search for and implement sustainable long term alternatives and solutions.

Page 6 Campus Improvement Projects

•Incorporated into the Sustainability Challenge are the Merced College Campus improvement and beautification projects •Use student artwork and talent to improve campus culture and atmosphere.

Page 10 Page 11 Page 12 Page 13 Plan

•Phase I: Gain campus support and involvement

•Phase II: Research, development, and small scale implementation

•Phase III: Full scale implementation, maintenance, and continued R & D

Page 14 Phase I: Campus Support and Involvement •To succeed the entire campus must support and be involved in the transition process to sustainability •Part of being sustainable is the intelligent and efficient use of our resources. Merced College has many underutilized resources. •We have Professors of multiple disciplines with different skill sets and knowledge on different subjects.

Page 15 Phase I: Campus Support and Involvement •We have thousands of students seeking to earn degrees and acquire applicable skills for the real world job market. •One way to efficiently use our resources and encourage Campus involvement is to incorporate campus improvement projects as well as the next three phases of this plan into the Course Curriculum and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs).

Page 16 Phase I: Campus Support and Involvement •This will not only allow students to learn theory but to gain valuable hands on experience. Giving Merced College students an edge in todays competitive job market. •Each discipline will carry out the tasks related to their field of study. •There will also be opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations on campus improvement projects

Page 17

Phase II: Research, Development, and Small scale Implementation

•Begin by identifying areas in the college where sustainable systems are most beneficial and feasible in terms of cost cutting and profit increases •Identify areas where the college spends the most money ex: electricity, landscaping etc. •Research sustainable and clean alternatives that meet the needs of Merced College •Develop plans for implementation •Begin small scale implementation of certain projects

Page 18 Phase III: Full Scale Implementation, Maintenance, continued R & D

•Full Scale Implementation of the plans and designs that resulted from previous two phases. •Maintain equipment and ongoing projects •Continue to Research, Develop and Implement new sustainable alternatives and solutions •There is always room for improvement!

Page 19 Possible Projects

•Clean, Renewable Energy Production •Water •Agriculture/Gardening •Recycling •Knowledge

Page 20 Energy

Abundant Energy is key to the survival of any society. Abundant sources of clean, renewable energy is key to being sustainable

• Geothermal Electric

• Geothermal Heating and Cooling

• Grow and process BioDiesel

• Fiber optic lighting

• Solar

• Wind Page 21

Energy

• Geothermal has lowest levelized cost of any source

• Systems smaller than 300kw are in operation

• Electricity from these systems can cost less than 4 cents per kwh or 1/3 the tier one price from the electricity company

• Excess energy can be sold or utilized for the benefit of Merced College

• Possible Partnership with Mercy Medical Center and UC Merced, so each facility can utilize the cheap, clean and renewable resource

Page 22 Geothermal Electric

Page 23 Geothermal Electric

Page 24

Geothermal Heating and Cooling

Use constant underground temperature of 55 degrees F to cool buildings in the summer and warm them in the winter which can greatly reduce electricity usage

Page 25 Fiber Optic Lighting Energy

Page 26 Water

•Rain water collectors and water filtration systems around campus •Use of grey water systems, sink water is diverted to toilet water tanks. •Water Conservation Wednesdays -Raise awareness on water scarcity and promote sustainable water conservation practices. • Electric Condensation Systems • Reduce lawn size and use drought resistant plants and ground cover plants

Page 27 Water

Page 28 Agriculture/Gardening

•Vertical farming •Aquaponic gardening •Green/Living walls •Grow fruits and vegetables, sell smoothies to students •Grow valuable plants, then process and sell the product. (lavender extract)

Page 29 Agriculture/Gardening

• Vertical Farms – Benefits of vertical and indoor farming include climate controlled sealed environments, this means that food that does not naturally grow in this area can be grown. The gardens is sealed, therefore pests and Unwanted plants are kept out • Zero pesticides, zero herbicides, 100% organic food production

Page 30

Agriculture/Gardening

• Aquaponics - is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment.

• In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrogen-fixing bacteria into nitrates and nitrites, which are utilized by the plants as nutrients. The water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system.

Page 31

Agriculture/Gardening

• Aquaponic techniques can be incorporated into our living walls and Vertical/indoor farming systems.

Page 32 Knowledge

•Produce text books at Merced College sell at cost to students • Use Professor Knowledge collaboratively compile usable text books for Merced College Students •Release plans for sustainable living campus to the public as open source.

Page 33

Benefits

• Excess food and Electricity produced sustainably by the College can be sold to the community for the benefit of Merced College

• Students who participate in campus improvement projects will learn hands on skills as well as theory

• Encourage student involvement in campus community

• A beautiful, clean, sustainable campus will encourage students to be on campus more often

• We believe there is a correlation between academic success of students and The learning and campus environment the students are exposed to.

No later than its first regular June meeting each year, the Board shall review the salary of the Superintendent/President. Any change in salary made during the life of this Agreement shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement but shall not be construed as entering into a new contract or extending the termination date of this agreement.

5. Superintendent/President Performance Objectives

Page 93 Annual performance objectives shall be reduced to writing for each school year, and shall be based on the duties and responsibilities set forth in this Agreement and in the job announcement and position description together with any other criteria upon which the parties have mutually agreed. Any revision to objectives should be made by July 1 of each succeeding year, and shall be established by no later than August 31 of each school year.

Said objectives shall be among the criteria by which the Superintendent/President is evaluated as hereinafter provided under paragraph 6.

6. Superintendent/President Annual Evaluation

a. Evaluation Format

The Board shall evaluate and assess in writing the performance of the Superintendent/President at least once a year during the term of this Agreement, and the result of that assessment shall be provided in writing annually to the Superintendent/President. Said evaluation and assessment shall be reasonable relative to the description of duties of the Superintendent/President and the goals and objectives of the Superintendent/President for the year in question.

The Board and the Superintendent/President have agreed to a format for said written evaluation and assessment of his performance (hereinafter “Evaluation Format”) which shall be used during the term of this Agreement, unless hereafter the Superintendent/President and Board otherwise mutually agree. The Evaluation Format contains at least the following evaluation criteria: Board Superintendent/President relations, community relations, staff and personnel relations, educational program, business and financial matters and professional and leadership development. The Evaluation Format provides for a rating such that the Board, collectively, may indicate whether the performance of the Superintendent/President is superior, very satisfactory, satisfactory, or unsatisfactory, both as to overall performance and as to the specific criteria set forth in the Evaluation Format.

The Board shall evaluate the Superintendent/President pursuant to the Evaluation Format within sixty (60) days preceding or following the expiration of each year during the term of this Agreement. At least every other year during the term of this Agreement the Evaluation Format shall include Staff Involvement, which is defined to mean that not to exceed fifteen (15) members of each Constituency Group shall be asked to participate in the evaluation process. There are four

Page 94 Constituency Groups consisting of managers, classified staff, faculty and students. The leadership of each Constituency Group shall identify the members of that Constituency Group who shall participate in the evaluation process. Board Policy 2435 and Administrative Procedure 2435 shall be amended to be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

b. Evaluation

In the event the Board, collectively, determines that the performance of the Superintendent/President is unsatisfactory in any respect, it shall describe in writing, in reasonable detail indicating specific instances where appropriate, said unsatisfactory performance. The evaluation shall include recommendations as to areas for improvement in all instances where the Board deems performance to be unsatisfactory and all other instances where the Board deems such to be necessary and appropriate. A copy of the written evaluation shall be delivered to the Superintendent/President and the Superintendent/President shall have the right to make a written reaction or response to the evaluation, which shall become a permanent entry to the Superintendent/President’s personnel file. Within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the written evaluation of the Superintendent/President’s performance, if it is in whole or in part unsatisfactory, or if it contains recommendations as to areas of improvement, the Board shall appoint a committee of one or more members of the Board to meet with the Superintendent/President and endeavor to assist the Superintendent/President in improving his performance as to such matters. The subcommittee shall report in writing to the full Board, with a copy to the Superintendent/President, its activities and the results thereof, within ninety (90) days from the date of its appointment. Thereafter, the Board may continue the committee and require additional reports where necessary.

The Superintendent/President shall notify Board members collectively and individually each year, prior to July, of the requirement of the Board to evaluate the Superintendent/President.

If there is no mutually agreeable resolution to the areas of unsatisfactory performance, the parties may, at their option, mutually agree to further processes/procedures in an attempt to reach resolution.

7. Termination of Contract Agreement

This employment contract may be terminated by:

Page 95 a. Mutual Agreement of the Parties b. Retirement or Death of the Superintendent/President c. Disability of the Superintendent/President

This Agreement may be terminated by the Board should the Superintendent/President, in the opinion of the Board, be unable to serve in the position due to physical and/or mental condition. Termination shall occur after the expiration of the sick leave entitlement as provided by statute and policies, and a written evaluation by a licensed physician selected by the Board indicating the inability of the Superintendent/President to further serve in the position of employment. d. Discharge for Cause

Discharge for cause shall constitute conduct which is seriously prejudicial to the Board including but not limited to, neglect of duty, breach of contract or grounds enumerated in Education Code section 87732. Notice of discharge for cause shall be given in writing and the Superintendent/President shall be entitled to appear before the Board to discuss such causes. If the Superintendent/President chooses to be accompanied by legal counsel at such a meeting, the Superintendent/President shall bear any costs therein involved. Such meeting shall be conducted in closed session unless specifically prohibited by state law. The Superintendent/President shall be provided a written decision describing the results of the meeting.

In the event that the Board offers to terminate this Agreement by paying the amount specified in 7.e. below, the requirement of the hearing before the Board shall be waived by the Superintendent/President. e. Termination with Superintendent/President Concurrence

The Board may propose to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Superintendent/President. If the Board elects to terminate this agreement prior to the expiration of its stated term, District shall pay to the Superintendent/President as liquidated damages the lesser of twelve (12) months base salary including benefits, or the remaining base salary including benefits for the remainder of the term of the contract if less than twelve (12) months. The

Page 96 parties agree to this sum as liquidated damages because the actual damages are otherwise extremely difficult to fix. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs. The Superintendent/President shall not be entitled to such payment in the event he voluntarily resigns. In the event the Superintendent/President accepts the settlement specified above, the requirement for a hearing of the reasons for termination in executive session before the Board as provided for in Section 7, shall be waived.

8. Automobile Expenses

The Superintendent/President is required to have a vehicle available at all times to perform the required functions of the position. The Superintendent/President shall be provided a transportation stipend of seven hundred dollars ($700) during each month of this Agreement, to be adjusted annually at the option of the District. This stipend is to cover transportation in the District. Travel outside the District will be reimbursed at the regular District rate. In addition, a service station credit card will be provided the Superintendent/President for use in the conduct of College business and limited to fuel.

9. Professional Meetings

The Superintendent/President shall attend appropriate professional meetings at local, state and national levels with prior approval by the Board of out-of-state trips and any meetings or conferences lasting more than two working days. Expenses so incurred shall be reimbursed to the Superintendent/President in accordance with applicable District policy. The Superintendent/President shall report to the Board his appraisal of such meetings.

10. Expense Reimbursement

The District shall reimburse the Superintendent/President for actual and necessary expenses incurred by Superintendent/President within the scope of his employment so long as such expenses are permitted by District policy or incurred with prior approval of the Board. For reimbursement, the Superintendent/President shall submit an expense claim and the record of expenses shall be reviewed by the Board at their request.

11. Service Expenditures

The District shall provide the Superintendent/President with an American Express Card and/or other major credit card for expenditures incurred within the scope of his duties as

Page 97 Superintendent/President. The Superintendent/President shall provide a written report of such expenditures to the District on a monthly basis.

12. Outside Professional Activities

The Superintendent/President may undertake for consideration outside professional activities, including, but not limited to, consulting, speaking and writing, so long as such outside professional activities do not, in the Board’s sole judgment, interfere with the Superintendent/President’s performance of his duties. The Superintendent/President’s outside professional activities shall occur only during scheduled vacation or professional development leave. In no event will the District be responsible for any expenses attendant to the performance of such outside activities.

13. Work Year/Vacations

The Superintendent/President shall be required to render twelve (12) months of full and regular service to the District during each school year, or a proportionate number of months of such service during any portion of a school year, under this Agreement. The Superintendent/President shall be entitled to holidays, specified in Board Policy 4010 comparable to administrative/staff management. The Superintendent/President shall be entitled to twenty-four (24) working days annual vacation with full pay and five (5) professional development days annually with full pay. If the Superintendent/President shall desire to take more than five (5) continuous days of vacation, the Superintendent/President should notify the Board prior to the use of vacation time. Upon accumulating forty-eight (48) days of vacation allowance, the Superintendent/President shall not earn additional vacation until the accumulated vacation balance falls below forty-eight (48) days.

In the event of the termination of the contract, the Superintendent/President shall be entitled to compensation for unused vacation not to exceed forty-eight (48) days annual vacation entitlement at the salary rate effective during the school year in which the vacation credit was earned.

Item: Confirmation of Authorized Bank Accounts

Presented By: Joanne Schultz

For: Information Action X

Background Information

As required by the State Chancellor’s Office Budget and Accounting Manual, the District is presenting the review of separate bank accounts. In general, the primary authorized bank account of the District is the cash held in the county treasury. The Board of Governors recognizes that sound fiscal practice may require the use of additional separate bank accounts. The District does maintain several of these accounts in Farmers and Merchant Bank that are within the guidelines set out by the Chancellor’s Office in the Budget and Accounting Manual. These accounts do exceed the FDIC levels but as governmental entity our deposits are fully collateralized and therefore not at risk. A list of accounts is included in the attachment.

Recommendation/Requested Action

It is recommended that the Board of Trustees confirm the continuing need for the bank accounts as shown in the attachment.

“Objective 1.1: Add resources. Provide students with support systems, programs, resources, and development opportunities that maximize success.”

“The objective should be more specific - "professional development for all employees" could be addressed simply by making sure everyone receives some training in anything that might be linked to teaching and services. Perhaps specifying "through ongoing professional development prioritized, planned and implemented, based on formally identified needs or weaknesses" or something along those lines. You may find that best use of resources may not mean all employees get something, but rather those who will most benefit or advance the objectives in areas of need get everything they need to make improvements.”

“Reasonable suspicion” occurs when “it is objectively reasonable for a person to entertain such a suspicion, based upon facts that could cause a reasonable person in a like position drawing when appropriate on his or her training and experience, to suspect child abuse” (Penal code Section 11166(a)).

A Child protective agency is a police or sheriff’s department, county probation department, or a county welfare department. School district police or security departments are not child protective agencies (Penal Code Section 11165.9).

Any person not mandated by law to report suspected child abuse has immunity unless the report is proven to be false and the person reporting knows it is false, or the report is made with reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the incident. Reporting is an individual responsibility. An employee making a report cannot be required to disclose his or her identity to the employer (Penal Code Section 1116[f]). However, a person who fails to make a required report is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to six (6) months in jail and/or up to a $1,000 fine (Penal Code Section 11172(e)).

Mandated reporters must report immediately any reasonable suspicion of child abuse to a local child protective agency and follow up with a written report within 36 hours: Merced City Police Department or Merced County Sheriff’s Department.

Child abuse reporting forms are available at the Merced College Police Department.

No mandated reporter who reports a known or suspected instance of child abuse shall be civilly or criminally liable for any report required or authorized by the Penal Code.

Page 139 Any person other than a child care custodian reporting a known or suspected instance of child abuse shall not incur any liability as a result of making any report of child abuse, unless it can be proven that a false report was made and the person knew that the report was false. (Penal Code Section 11172(a)).

If a school official releases a minor pupil to a peace officer for the purpose of removing the minor from the campus, the district official shall take immediate steps to notify the parent or guardian regarding the release of the minor to the officer, and regarding the place to which the minor is reportedly being taken (Education Code Section 87044), except when a minor has been taken into custody as a victim of suspected child abuse, as defined in Section 11165 of the Penal Code or pursuant to Section 305 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. In those cases, the official shall provide the peace officer with the address and telephone number of the minor’s parent or guardian.

Non-accidental physical injury is considered to be a health and safety emergency, and parental consent is not required for release of student information under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, or the California Student Records Act (Ed Code Section 76200 et seq.).

Information relevant to the incident of child abuse may be given to an investigator from a child protective agency who is investigating the known or suspected cause of child abuse (Penal Code Section 11167b).

The District shall provide a mandated reporter with a statement informing the employee that he/she is a mandated reporter and inform the employee of his/her reporting obligations under Penal Code Section 11166 and his/her confidentiality rights under subdivision (d) of Penal Code Section 11167. The District shall provide a copy of Penal Code Sections 11165.7, 11166, and 11167 to the employee. Prior to commencing his/her employment and as a prerequisite to that employment, employee shall sign and return the statement to the District. The signed statements shall be retained by the District (Penal Code Section 11166.5)

The District will distribute this procedure to all employees.

Each campus or center of the Merced Community College District shall enter into a written agreement with local law enforcement agencies. The agreement shall clarify operational responsibilities for investigations of Part I violent crimes, defined by law as willful homicide, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, occurring at each location.

The written agreement shall designate which law enforcement agency shall have operational responsibility for violent crimes and delineate the specific geographical boundaries of each agency’s operational responsibility, including maps as necessary.

The written agreements required by this policy shall be public records and shall be made available for inspection by members of the public upon request.

The Merced Community College District encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes to the campus police and/or the appropriate police agencies. The Superintendent/President shall establish procedures that encourage pastoral counselors and professional counselors, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform the persons they are counseling of any procedures to report crimes on a voluntary, confidential basis for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics.

Page 141 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE 3520 - Local Law Enforcement

Reference: Education Code Section 67381 34 Code of Federal Regulations Part 668-46(b)(4)

Merced College Campus and the Los Banos Campus have a written agreement with local law enforcement agencies. The agreement clarifies operational responsibilities for investigations of Part I violent crimes, defined by law as willful homicide, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, occurring at each location.

The written agreement designates which law enforcement agency has operational responsibility for violent crimes and delineates the specific geographical boundaries of each agency’s operational responsibility, including maps as necessary.

The written agreements required by the Board policy are public records and are made available for inspection by members of the public upon request to Merced College Police Department.

The Merced Community College District Police Department maintains a close working relationship with the Merced County Sheriff’s Department. The District Police Department occasionally works with other law enforcement agencies, including Merced City Police Department. Meetings may be held between the leaders of these agencies on both a formal and informal basis. The District Police Department, Merced County Sheriff’s Department and Merced City Police Department communicate regularly on the scene of incidents that occur in and around the campus area. When incidents arise that require joint investigative efforts, resources, crime related reports and exchanges of information, the District Police Department will work closely with Merced County Sheriff’s and Merced City Police Department. There is a written memorandum of understanding between the District Police Department and Merced County Sheriff’s Department.

In response to a call, the Campus Police Department will take the required action, dispatching an officer or asking the victim to file an incident report. All incident reports received by the Campus Police Department are forwarded to the Vice President of Student Services for review and potential action. The Campus Police Department may investigate a report when it is deemed appropriate.

Crimes should be reported to the District Police Department to ensure inclusions in the annual crime statistics and to aid in providing timely warning notices to the community, when appropriate.

Page 142 Community members, students, faculty, staff, and guests are encouraged to report all crimes and public safety related incidents to the District Police Department in a timely manner. To report a crime or an emergency on the Merced Campus or Business Resource Center, call the District Police Department. To report a crime or emergency on the Los Banos Campus, call the Los Banos Police Officer.

The District Police have complete police authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts on-campus and areas immediately adjacent to the campus. If minor offenses involving District rules and regulations are committed by a student, the campus police may also refer the individual to the Vice President of Student Services. Major offenses such as rape, murder, aggravated assault, robbery, and auto theft are reported to the local law enforcement and the District Police Department and local law enforcement work together to solve these serious felony crimes. District Police personnel work closely with local, state, and federal police agencies. The District Police Department is also a part of the local 911 Emergency System. Through coordination with local law enforcement agencies, any criminal activity engaged in by students at off-campus locations of student organization, is monitored and recorded. This information is provided to the Vice President of Student Services for any action or follow-up that may be required.

Security officers have the authority to ask persons for identification and to determine whether individuals have lawful business at the District. Safety and Security officers do not possess arrest power. Criminal incidents are referred to the local law enforcement officers who have jurisdiction on the campus. The District maintains a highly professional working relationship with the Merced County Sheriff Department. All crime victims and witnesses are strongly encouraged to immediately report the crime to campus Security Services Office and the appropriate police agency. Prompt reporting will assure timely warning notices on-campus and timely disclosure of crime statistics.

Campus “Pastoral Counselors” and Campus “Professional Counselors,” when acting as such, are not considered to be campus security officers and are not required to report crimes for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics. As a matter of policy, they are encouraged, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform persons being counseled of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary basis for inclusion into the annual crime statistics.

A Pastoral Counselor is a person who is associated with a religious order or denomination, recognized by that religious order or denomination as someone who provides confidential counseling and who is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor.

Page 143 A Professional Counselor is an employee of a District whose official responsibilities include providing psychological counseling to members of the District’s community and who is functioning within the scope of his or her license or certification.

All reports will be investigated. The District does not have procedures for voluntary, confidential reporting of crime statistics. Violations of the law will be referred to law enforcement agencies and when appropriate, to the District’s Disciplinary Committee for review. When a potentially dangerous threat to the District’s community arises, timely reports or warnings will be issued through e- mail announcements, the posting of flyers at local campuses, in-class announcements, or other appropriate means.

BOARD AGENDA BACKUP

PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE MERCED COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT AT THE OCTOBER 7, 2014, MEETING OF THE BOARD

Item: 2013-14 Scheduled Maintenance Program Revise and 2014-15 Scheduled Maintenance Program Presented By: Joanne Schultz For: Information Action X

Background Information It is the intent of Administrative Services to update the Board on the progress of the prior year’s Scheduled Maintenance projects as well as present the current year’s Schedule Maintenance projects. As part of the capital planning process, an assessment is done of the district’s facilities to include the Merced Campus, Business Resource Center, and the Los Banos Campus in terms of age and condition. There are also circumstances when there is an equipment failure or a high possibility of failure that could interrupt instruction are added to the list. Each of these elements are considered when developing the scheduled maintenance projects for the year. On October 8, 2013, the District submitted four Scheduled Maintenance projects totaling is $234,347. The projects included (1) Reroof sections of the Industrial Technology Building $106,650; (2) Services Building Transformer $18,300; (3) Replace Water Boiler at Central Plant $54,900; and (4) Replace HVAC Controls in Los Banos $54,497. The status of the 2013-14 Schedule Maintenance Projects are as follows: 1. Reroof sections of Industrial Technology Building: Only one section of the roof required to be reroofed at a cost of $12,697.

2. Services Building Transformer: The plan to replace the current transformer with a larger transformer to address the power shortage in the Information Technology Services area would not work and will require future study. Only $2,050 was spent on this project as the district had a new transformer of the same size to replace the old transformer.

3. Replace Water Boiler at Central Plant: This project was completed as proposed.

4. Replace HVAC Controls in Los Banos: The problems to be addressed in Los Banos HVAC Controls were more severe than originally anticipated. The building maintenance mechanic in Los Banos is manually adjusts the temperature throughout the day so instruction can take place. The Siemens Company has given an estimate to address the problems that exceed the budgeted amount of $54,497.

Page 180 The dollars not spent on the Reroof Sections of Industrial Technology Building and the Services Building Transformer amounted to $110,203. The Chancellor’s Office has approved modifying the District’s 2013-14 Scheduled Maintenance Projects as follows:

1. Replace HVAC Controls in Los Banos: The budget will be increase from $54,497 to $91,200 for a net increase of $36,703. 2. Replace HVAC in Student Unit: This AC unit is 23 years old and has outlived its useful life. On Monday, September 15, 2014, the heating coils shorted out causing the loss of one of the two compressors and the total power failure in the Student Union Building. Emcor was able to by-pass the defective compressor to allow the AC unit to cool the kitchen area; however, the equipment may fail at any time. The cost of replacement of a 17 ½ ton HVAC unit is $23,250. 3. Replace HVAC Plant Science: The heat portion of the Plant Science Building HVAC is out; whereby, the classroom will not have heat this winter. The replacement cost a 5 ton AC unit is $13,700. 4. Replace Motor and Fan Assembly (2) in Los Banos Cooling Towers; The Board may recall the failure of the Los Banos Cooling Tower in Building B just before the Spring semester’s final exams. The condition of the remaining two cooling towers’ motor and fan assemblies are in critical need of replacing as not to disrupt instruction. Cost of this project is $18,650. 5. Replace Irrigation Pump at Central Plant: The irrigation pump system located by Central Plant is old and operates at an excessive pounds per square inch (psi) which has caused multiple mainline irrigation water breaks. The replacement is a VFD water pump that is very energy efficient and will cost $17,900. The above projects will address immediate District mechanical needs. These projects must be completed by June 30, 2015. The 2014 Budget Act (SB852, Ch. 25) provided $1,261,807 in Block Grant allocations for the purpose of Physical Plant (Scheduled Maintenance) and Instructional Support (Instructional Equipment and Library Materials). The District has chosen to split the dollars between the two areas evenly. Based upon the above information, $630,903 in Scheduled Maintenance projects are being submitted to the Chancellor’s Office as follows: 1. Replace Actuators in IAC Building: Project is to replace the Fire Smoke Damper Actuators with a higher torque actuators as part of the District’s fire protection system. The budget for this project is $24,400.

2. Pool Cover Replacement: Project is to replace worn non-energy efficient pool covers with thermal pool covers and EOS power assist winding unit. The budget for this project is $45,100. The energy savings has been calculated at $40,804/year.

3. Replace 3 Swamp Coolers with AC in Ag/IT Building: The purpose of this project is to replace swamp coolers that have a difficult time keeping student comfortable during hot weather with high efficient air conditioning units. The budget for this project is $141,803.

Page 181 4. Replace Communication Building Roof: The purpose of this project is to remove and replace the existing roof with materials that meet Class A and California Title 24 requirements for energy efficient cooling roofing and make modifications to improve drainage. The budget for this project is $129,300.

5. Replace Two Irrigation Pumps: The purpose of this project is to replace old mechanical pumps with more energy efficient VFD pumps located at the tennis courts and baseball field. The budget for this project is $38,400.

6. Replace Main Telephone Line: The purpose of this project is to replace the main telephone line that originates along Yosemite Avenue and ends at the Administration Building. The District’s telephone service is dependent upon this cable’s integrity. The budget for this project is $201,300.

7. Reroof Sections of Administration Building: The purpose of this budget is to address any roofing problems in the Administration Building. The Budget for this project is $50,600.

It is important to note, the 2014-15 Scheduled Maintenance projects were coordinated with the CCC Proposition 39 Energy Projects the District has submitted for year 2 to provide additional energy savings. The District was notified that the State is expecting all 2014-15 Scheduled Maintenance Projects funds to be spent or encumbered by June 30, 2015.

Recommended/Requested Action It is recommend the Board of Trustees approve the 2013-14 Scheduled Maintenance revise and the 2014-15 Scheduled Maintenance Projects as presented.
