Nov 17, 2021 Board Meeting

[00:00:01]

>> WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO THE NOVEMBER 17, 2021 CERRITOS COLLEGE

[1. Procedural]

WE WILL BEGIN WITH A ROLL CALL.

>> TRUSTEE BIRKEY, VP DR. SHIN LIU, CLERK AVALOS, TRUSTEE LEWIS, TRUSTEE PACHECO, TRUSTEE DR. SANDRA SALAZAR, TRUSTEE NINEL SUTHERLAND, PRESIDENT SUPERINTENDENT DR. FIERRO? AND TRUSTEE PEREZ?

>> SHE WAS HERE.

>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S START WITH OUR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

I WILL ASK YOU, TRUSTEE NINEL SUTHERLAND TO LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE.

>> PLACE YOUR RIGHT HAND OVER YOUR HEART.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

>> THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO REORGANIZE THE AGENDA IN ANY WAY?

[1.04 Comments from the Audience]

>> SEEING NONE, WE MOVED TO COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE.

I HAVE THREE SPEAKER CARDS HERE, I WILL SHOW YOU THESE AND THEN I BELIEVE WE ALSO HAVE -*CUSTOM* YES WE DO.

WE HAVE THREE IN PERSON COMMENT CARDS AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE THREE RECORDED MESSAGES.

>> OKAY.

WE WILL ORGANIZE IT ACCORDING TO TOPIC SO WE WILL DEAL WITH 2905 FIRST

AND THEN WE WILL GO WITH THE OTHERS.. >> WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CALL THE ONLINE COMMENTS, FIRST?

>> WE WILL DO THE ONLINE COMMENTS, FIRST.

>> ME ONE MOMENT.

>> MY NAME IS JIM BEEVOR AND I AM AN ADJUNCT FACULTY MEMBER AT THE COLLEGE AND HAVE BEEN SO FOR ABOUT 21 YEARS.

I WOULD LIKE THE BOARD TO ENTERTAIN A CHANGE TO BP 2905.

I RECEIVED AN APPROVED EXEMPTION AND I TEACH ONLINE ONLY.

I HAVE NOT TAUGHT A CLASS ON CAMPUS IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS AND DO NOT FORECAST TO BE ONLINE ANY TIME SOON AS MY STUDENTS HAVE BEEN UP NORTH IN SACRAMENTO AND DOWN SOUTH IN SACRAMENTO IN EVER RETAIL MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE AS WE TEACH CONTINUING ADULTS IN THE GROCERY INDUSTRY.

ONLINE CLASSES ARE NOT POSSIBLE FOR THE STUDENT BASE AND HAVE NOT AND SINCE THE INCEPTION SINCE ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO.

HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT I NEED TO PROVIDE WEEKLY COVID TESTING STARTING IN JANUARY 2022 EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT GOING TO BE ON CAMPUS.

MY CERRITOS COLLEGE INTERACTIONS ARE PRIMARILY WITH MY KEYBOARD, MOUSE AND MONITOR.

AND I WILL PROVIDE TEST RESULTS OF I HAVE BEEN ASKED, BUT REQUIRING TESTING FOR THOSE WHO WILL NOT ON CAMPUS, AFTER SAY, IT IS NOT A WIDE USE OF MEDICAL STAFF AND RESOURCES AT THIS TIME, AT LEAST I DON'T THINK SO AND I THINK THE BOARD WOULD AGREE WITH ME.

REALLY, THE ONLY REASON FOR THIS TESTING THAT I CAN FORESEE IS THAT I DON'T INFECT MY MOUSE, MONITOR AND KEYBOARD.

WITH THAT I SUGGEST THE BOARD REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR WEEKLY TESTING FOR THOSE WHO RECEIVE A RELIGIOUS OR MEDICAL EXEMPTION SINCE THEY WON'T HAVE ANY PRESENCE ON CAMPUS AND I BELIEVE, ANYWAY, IT IS NOT WISE TO BURDEN OUR MEDICAL STAFF AND RESOURCES AT THIS TIME FOR A TEST THAT SERVES NO APPARENT PURPOSE.

THANK YOU.

>> HI MY NAME IS PROFESSOR NICK CARBON ROI TEACH AT LONG BEACH CITY COLLEGE AND I WAS A FORMER ADJUNCT FACULTY MEMBER HERE AT CERRITOS COLLEGE.

I AM COMMENTING ON YOUR PROPOSAL TO IMPLEMENT A VACCINE MANDATE FOR FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENT.

I WANT TO GO ON THE RECORD AND SITE I AM OPPOSED TO THIS TYPE OF MANDATE.

[00:05:03]

IF THE COLLEGE IS LOOKING FOR THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST TO TEACH OUR FUTURE LEADERS AND FUTURE STUDENTS AT THE COLLEGE THEN IT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO REQUIRE A MEDICAL PROCEDURE THAT ISN'T FULLY FDA APPROVED EVEN THOUGH SOME MAY CLAIM IT IS IS NOT A FULLY FDA APPROVED ONE.

NO ONE IN THE UNITED STATES CAN GET A FULLY APPROVED FDA VACCINE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS EQUITABLE TO CREATE A CULTURE COLLEGE CAMPUS IN WHICH PEOPLE WILL BE TERMINATED IF THEY DON'T HAVE A CERTAIN MEDICAL PROCEDURE GOING BACK TO THE HIRING, THERE ARE A GREAT NUMBER OF PROFESSORS THAT ARE GREAT PROFESSORS WHO WOULD WANT TO TEACH US AT YOUR INSTITUTION THAT MIGHT NOT APPLY AT CERRITOS COLLEGE AND WHO DOES THAT HURT? IT HURTS THE STUDENTS.

STUDENT SUCCESS SHOULD BE NUMBER 1.

I WANT TO THROW MY HAT INTO THE PORT OF THE FACULTY WHO ARE AGAINST THESE MANDATES.

I WANT TO PUT MY SUPPORT TO MY STUDENTS WHO ARE AGAINST IT BECAUSE THEY MIGHT NOT FEEL THEY HAVE A VOICE AND COMING FROM ANOTHER COLLEGE I WANT YOU TO KNOW THERE ARE FACULTY MEMBERS THAT SUPPORT VACCINES BUT NOT A VACCINE MANDATE AND THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SAY AS A FORMER ADJUNCT FACULTY MEMBER.

IT COULD HURT THE STUDENT SUCCESS AND I HOPE THE BOARD WOULD RECONSIDER IT.

I KNOW IT IS EASY TO GO WITH THE FLOW AND PASS IT BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS PASSING IT BUT THAT MISTAKES IN HISTORY HAVE BEEN MADE IF YOU LOOK ACT.

EVERYONE SAYS IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

I URGE YOU TO VOTE NO ON THE VACCINE MANDATE AND I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY COMMENTS.

>> HI.

MY NAME IS DEEANN FIFE AND I HAVE BEEN A DENTAL HYGIENE INSTRUCTOR HERE AT CERRITOS FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 YEARS.

I WANT TO SAY THIS CAMPUS VACCINE MANDATE IS OVERREACHING JUST LIKE THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS STATES AS IT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE COMMON SENSE DIFFERENCES IN WORKPLACE RISK.

NOT ALL WORKPLACES POSE A GRAVE DANGER.

JUST LIKE TEACHING REMOTELY IS NOT A DANGER TO ANYBODY.

I AM NOT A DANGER TO CAMPUS AS I AM NOT ON CAMPUS.

IN MAKING THIS VACCINE A CONDITION OF MY EMPLOYMENT MAKES NO COMMON SENSE AS STATED BY THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS.

I MANY OTHER DEDICATED INSTRUCTORS WOULD APPRECIATE THE BOARD GOING BACK AND REVISITING THE TERMS OF THIS MANDATE AS IT IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL MANDATE AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ANYBODY.

THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

GOOD NIGHT.

>> I HAVE ONE MORE PUBLIC COMMENT AND IT IS A WRITTEN COMMENT AND I WANT TO READ THAT NOW.

>> THIS PUBLIC COMMENT IS FROM MARK B AND HE STATES, FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR GIVING OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING EVEN THOUGH I CANNOT BE PRESENT.

THANKSECONDLY I WANT TO SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS ON THIS ISSUE I UNDERSTAND YOUR OPINION.

I HAVE QUESTIONS OF HISTORICAL AND ROOT RHETORICAL AND FOR THE PEOPLE HERE IN GENERAL AS WELL.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE OATH THAT THE STATE TAKES TO PROMISE TO DO NO HARM AND NEVER DIVULGE THE SECRETS OF THE MISSION? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THE NUREMBERG CODE OF 1947 THE OUTCOME OF AN ETHICAL MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS AND STERILIZATIONS THAT TOOK LACE DURING WORLD WAR II? AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR CONSENT AND THE ABSENCE OF COERCION? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THE GENEVA CONVENTION OF 1948 STATING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IS THE FIRST CONSIDERATION AND IT IS TO BE RESPECTED AND WE SHOULD HAVE RESPECT FOR THE SECRETS THAT THEY PATIENT CONFIDES IN A PHYSICIAN? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THE DECLARATION OF HELSINKI OF 19 FOR THE WORLD MEDICAL

[00:10:06]

CONSTITUTION THAT WANTED TO BE SECURE AND PROTECTED AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN TITLE VII OF THE US FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 THAT STATES IT IS UNLAWFUL PRACTICE FOR AN EMPLOYER TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY INDIVIDUAL WITH RESPECT TO HIS COMPENSATION, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE SUCH INDIVIDUALS ARE OF RACE, COLOR OR RELIGION OR ORIGIN? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE PROVISION THAT SAYS IT IS UNLAWFUL EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE FOR AN EMPLOYER TO DISCOVER ANY AGAINST A PERSON ON THE BASIS OF RACE, CREED, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, ETC.? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE PROTECTS THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS TO DETERMINE WHAT IS DONE TO THEIR OWN BODIES? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT ALL THE VACCINES BEING ADMINISTERED IN THE UNITED STATES STILL HAVE ONLY EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION FROM THE FDA? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY DETERMINE THE SAFETY OF A PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT IS TO PERFORM A LONG-TERM EXPERIMENT? WE FORGOTTEN THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT RULING JACOBSON VERSUS MASSACHUSETTS DURING THE SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC? AND ALTHOUGH THEY RULED AGAINST JACOBSON THE RULING WAS NOT THAT HE HAD TO TAKE A VACCINE BUT RATHER ONLY THAT HE HAD TO PAY A FINE OF FIVE DOLLARS.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE MOST RECENT ARROW COVID MANDATE HAS ONLY BEEN VERBAL AND NOT BEEN PUT INTO WRITING AS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT THE FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA STATE EXECUTIVE ORDERS REGARDING COVID-19 ONLY USE THE WORDS GUIDELINES, RECOMMENDATIONS, STANDARDS AND ISSUES NOT THE WORD MANDATE? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT THE FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA STATE EXECUTIVE ORDERS REGARDING COVID-19 HAVE PHYSICALLY PROVIDED FOR EXEMPTIONS UNDER THE LAW HE MIGHT HAVE WE FORGOTTEN OSHA AS PART OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR NOT PART OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT OSHA ONLY RECOMMENDS EITHER VACCINE, TESTING, MASKS OR INFORMATIONAL SCREENINGS OF COVID-19? WE FORGOTTEN THAT BUSHES MAXIMUM FOR VIOLATION CIVIL FINE WAS JUST UPDATED TO 13,000 ECCENTRIC $53? IT IS NOT STATED WHETHER IT IS APPLIED TO VACCINE CHOICES AND HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT ON NOVEMBER 5, 2021 THE US CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS CITED GRAVE STATUTORY CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT WORKPLACE RIGHTS INCLUDE THE RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION AND SHOULD BE INTERPRETED WRONGLY AND THE ACCOMMODATION IS AN UNDUE BURDEN? EVERYONE WILL NOT HAVE ALL THE SAME OPINIONS AND WE ALL NEED TO BE INCLUSIVE RESPECT EACH OTHER'S DIVERSITY ESPECIALLY ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL'S DECISION TO PUT SOMETHING INTO THEIR OWN BODY INCLUDING THE DOCTORS ADVICE? LASTLY, HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT WE ARE TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND AND HAVE EMPTY FOR ANN ARBOR AND MORE GENERALLY LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF?

>> THANK YOU.

NOW WE MOVE ON TO THE COMMENT CARD.

WE WILL BEGIN WITH DEAN MALICE, YOU FIVE MINUTES.

>> CAN YOU HEAR ME? GOOD.

THANK YOU TRUSTEES FOR ALLOWING US THIS OPPORTUNITY, SPEAKING WITH MY COLLEAGUES OUT THERE I WAS REMINDED OF A STORY THAT I HAD HEARD A LONG TIME AGO.

I DO NOT REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT BUT IF YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH YOU MIGHT'VE HEARD OF

[00:15:01]

IT WAS ABOUT A WISE OLD MAN WHO WAS SHOWING OFF A NEW ARRIVAL AROUND AND SAID THIS IS A GREAT PLACE YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT.

EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL HERE, JUST DON'T EAT WHAT IS GOING ON THAT TREE OVER THERE CARED SO THEY DIDN'T.

AND THEN ONE DAY HE NOTICED HIS WIFE WAS HEADING TOWARDS THAT TREE AND IT LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS GOING TO EAT.

SO HE JUMPED UP AND RAN OVER TO GET A BETTER LOOK AT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HER AND SHE TURNED AROUND AND SAID THIS NOT ONLY TASTES GREAT BUT NOW I KNOW WHY THE DIAMETER OF THE CIRCLE DOES NOT GO INTO A PERIMETER EQUALLY.

YOU SHOULD EAT SOME OF THIS SO YOU DON'T SAY STUPID FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT BUT I DO KNOW THAT EVERYONE GOT SCREWED.

I TAKE THAT AS A STORY ABOUT COLLATERAL DAMAGE THAT WASN'T NECESSARY.

THE SAFEST PLACE IN THE COUNTY RIGHT NOW IS PROBABLY THIS CAMPUS.

NOT BECAUSE OF BP 2905 BECAUSE THERE'S HARDLY ANYBODY HERE EVER.

THE SOCIAL DISTANCING IS AMAZING.

THE JUSTIFICATION FOR BP 2905 CLEARLY STATED ACCESS TO FACILITIES.

HOW DO WE END UP WITH A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT? IT WAS NOT NECESSARY AND THE HARM IS ALREADY BEING DONE.

SOME FACULTY THINK THE HARM WILL COME JANUARY 3 WHEN THEIR COLLEAGUES GET TERMINATED.

SOME ARE EVEN GLEEFUL ABOUT THAT.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FACULTY SO DIVIDED IN ALL THE LONG TIME I HAVE BEEN HERE.

JUST LAST MONTH FACULTY IN UNITY CAME UP AND SAID WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE HELP WITH THE HEALTHCARE WE CANNOT PAY IT ON HER OWN.

AND ALL OF YOU OBLIGED THEM AND TOOK CARE OF THAT.

BUT NOW WE HAVE FACULTY THAT ARE GLEEFUL THAT SOME WILL GET TERMINATED AND LOSE EVERYTHING.

HOW DID WE GET TO THAT STATE? SOME FACULTY ARE CALLING OTHER FACULTY TERRIBLE THINGS.

I AM NOT A SENSITIVE PERSON BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN CALLED WORSE AND ONLY FOR DEFENDING WHAT I THINK ARE THE RIGHT OF MY COLLEAGUES.

WHAT MY TWO IN PARTICULAR COLLEAGUES IF I CAN CALL THEM THAT FROM MY OWN DIVISION DON'T REALIZE THAT YOU CAN SUPPORT YOUR COLLEAGUES THAT ARE UNVACCINATED EVEN IF YOU ARE VACCINATED YOURSELF.

I THINK THEY WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IF WE EVER HAVE A DIVISION MEETING AGAIN ON CAMPUS, I DOUBT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK IN THE EYE BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY SAID TO ME.

THE DIVISION IS ALREADY HAPPENING.

WE HAVE A STAFF OUT THERE AND ARE ASKING THE UNION REPRESENTATIVE FOR HELP AND GUIDANCE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAYS YOU GET THE VAX OR YOU GET THE ACTS.

THAT IS NOT WHAT I EXPECT FROM A UNION REPRESENTATIVE WHO WANTS TO KEEP PEOPLE EMPLOYED.

MAYBE THESE PEOPLE HAVE APPLIED FOR A MEDICAL OR RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION.

YOU HAVE INVESTED IN WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE GREAT STAFF AND TEACHERS.

THEY ARE ALL OUT THERE AND THESE ARE GOOD ONES.

THE STUDENTS LOVE THEM AND YOU HAVE INVESTED IN THEM AND YOU MIGHT SOME OF THEM.

THE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO LOSE EXPERIENCED TEACHERS.

SOME OF THOSE OUT THERE AND SOME THAT ARE NOT OUT THERE BUT ARE PART OF THE GROUP HAVE BEEN TEACHING HERE FOR 20 OR 30 YEARS.

HOW DO YOU REPLACE THAT? WE HAVE GREAT STUFF OUT THERE GIVING US TREMENDOUS SUPPORT.

GIVEN ENGLISH TEACHER WHO HAS NOT STEPPED FOOT HERE IN CALIFORNIA FOR OVER NINE YEARS WHO HAS TAUGHT HERE FOR 20 YEARS IN TEXAS WHERE THERE IS NO MANDATE.

WHEN YOU TELL HER SHE HAS TO VAX OR TEST WEEKLY TO BE EMPLOYED HERE, THAT IS NOT PUNITIVE FOR ANYTHING.

A PASTOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO SAID SOMETHING THAT I REALLY TOOK TO HEART.

HE SAID, WHEN YOU GO INTO A BANK AND YOU WAIT LONGER IN LINE BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE TELLER.

WHEN YOU GO INTO THE RESTAURANT AND YOU ARE WAITING FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ONE SERVER OR USE YOUR FOOD UP THERE ON THE COUNTER BUT THE SERVER DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO GO OVER AND GET IT BECAUSE THEY ARE BUSY AT THE CASH REGISTER.

I PASTOR SAID THANK YOU FOR COMING TO WORK.

THANK YOU BECAUSE THEY CHOSE TO COME TO WORK RATHER THAN STAY HOME AND MAKE MORE MONEY ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND STAY HOME AFTER THE UNEMPLOYMENT BECAUSE THEY GOT USED TO STAYING HOME OR THEY ARE USED TO HAVING THE MONEY TO GO ON VACATION.

THANK YOU OR THOSE WORKERS.

OUR FACULTY AND STAFF WORKED DILIGENTLY THROUGH THE WORKS OF THE PANDEMIC TO KEEP THIS

[00:20:03]

BP 2905 IS NOT THE WAY TO SAY THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

NEXT, [INDISCERNABLE] [APPLAUSE] >> HELLO EVERYBODY.

I HIM STEPPING IN TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MANDATE, THE EXEMPTIONS, THE PROCESS.

I STRUGGLE WITH DIFFERENT PARTS.

BEING A GRADUATE FROM CERRITOS COLLEGE AND WORKING HERE SINCE 91 WITH THE FOSTER CARE PROGRAM BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING TO ADOPT.

I FOUND THIS PLACE A RESOURCE WORKING WITH THE YOUTH OVER 25 YEARS.

TEENAGERS.

ENCOURAGING THEM TO COME TO CERRITOS COLLEGE.

TO GET THESE ANSWERS TO ASSIST THEM AND BY BEING AN EXAMPLE I FOUND OUT THAT I SHOULD JUST GET MY OWN DEGREE.

SO I ENROLLED MYSELF TO BE BETTER.

IT TOOK ME A WHILE BUT I FINISHED.

IN THREE DIFFERENT ASSOCIATE DEGREES.

FACULTY, WATCHING AND HEARING AND LEARNING THE DISTURBANCE AND CHALLENGES THAT WE GO THROUGH THE PART-TIMERS, STUDENTS, SO I LEFT.

I GRADUATED.

STILL TEACHING CLASSES OVER ZOOM.

AND NOW I AM TOLD I HAD TO TAKE A VACCINE WHETHER I BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

WHETHER I WISH TO BE JUDGED AND HAVE SOMEBODY JUDGE ME THAT SHOULDN'T.

I HAVE ONE JUDGE.

WE HAVE EDUCATED RELIGIOUS LEADERS CALLED THE PHARISEES AND THEY ONLY WANT PROFITS.

NOT REALLY LOOKING OR THINKING ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES AND HOW YOU ARE DIVIDING A CAMPUS.

TELLING THE STUDENTS WE CAN'T EVEN HELP THEM.

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR HELP STUDENTS AND TO SHARE WITH THEM, WHICH WAY AND HOW TO TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO STAY ON CAMPUS AND STAY ENROLLED AND NOT INTEND THAT THERE IS ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO BUT YOU EXPECT THEM TO GO SEE THEIR PROFESSORS.

I ENJOY THE INSTRUCTORS AND THEIR TEACHING AND I SEE WHY YOU NEED THE STAFF TO KEEP THE STUDENTS FAVORITE TEACHER.

IT IS NOT FAIR TO SIT THERE AND JUDGE ME BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL IT IS PART OF MY PERSONAL HEALTH TO HAVE TO FACE THESE EXEMPTIONS REQUIRING IF I HAD CANCER, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME GO GET CHEMO? IF I AM SITTING THERE FEELING JUDGED, WHERE IS MY TRUST? WHY AM I GOING TO GO OUT IN THE CITY OF DOWNEY OR A LIVE FOR 30 YEARS TO TELL THE STUDENTS TO COME HERE, ENCOURAGE THEM? I HAVE TAUGHT AT LONG BEACH, MISSION, HARBOR, SOUTHWEST, EL CAMINO, PASADENA, ALL THESE COMMUNITY COLLEGES WITH OUR PROGRAM.

IT MIGHT NOT BE A MONEYMAKER BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY, OF FOSTERING ADOPTIVE FAMILIES AND ASSISTING THEM IS SOMETHING THAT NOT EVERYBODY IS WILLING OR WANTING TO DO TO SHARE LIVED EXPERIENCES.

MY SON IS 30 YEARS OLD.

HE IS A FEW UNITS AWAY FROM SPECIAL NEEDS.

MY DAUGHTER GRADUATED WITH ME.

AT THE SAME TIME.

I HAD TO FIGHT FOR SOME POLICIES, TO BECAUSE MY INTEGRITY WAS CHALLENGED.

I STAND HERE AS A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL.

I STAND LOOKING TO SEE AS MARY MAGDALENE WOULD SAY WHO IS GOING TO THROW THE FIRST STONE? YOU ARE ASKING THESE INDIVIDUALS TO HAVE TO PUT THEIR FAITH ON THE LINE AND

[00:25:05]

WAS REALLY FORCING YOU TO? THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE? THE STATE? IS IT SOMETHING THAT IS WORTH STANDING AND SAYING HEY, WHY DON'T WE WAIT FOR THE RIGHT RESULTS AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT THE RESULTS ARE GOING TO BE? BECAUSE THEY ARE FINDING IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

AND WHEN YOU DIVIDE THAT YOU THINK THE FACULTY AND STAFF ARE GOING TO BE EXCITED AND TALK ABOUT IT IN THE COMMUNITY INTO THEIR STUDENTS? ALL OF THESE PART-TIMERS YOU HAVE? I AM HERE TO SAY I AM NOT GOING TO DO THE EXEMPTION.

YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE ME.

30 YEARS WORKING WITH THE YOUTH, HELPING FAMILIES.

IT ISN'T ABOUT THE MONEY, IT'S ABOUT THE PURPOSE.

I HAVE ALWAYS WORKED AND NOW I AM INJURED, THE ONLY TIME I HAVE BEEN ON THE CAMPUS WAS TO HELP WITH THE FOOD BANK.

I KNOW OF THE SITUATION.

I WOULD RATHER GET COVID IN THE VACCINE.

I AM NOT LOOKING TO ENDANGER ANYBODY ELSE.

BECAUSE BEING PUSHED INTO SOMETHING THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH IS REALLY WRONG.

IF YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO PROLONG IT, WAIT FOR THE RESULTS, WAIT FOR THE SCIENCE, WAIT FOR THIS AS IT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING.

IF IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, BE GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND HELPING THE YOUTH, IT JUST WILL BE ELSEWHERE.

SAME WITH EVERYONE ELSE WHO CHOOSES TO GO.

>> THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] [CHEERING] HELLO.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

I HAVE ANXIETY AND TOXIC PHOBIA SO THIS IS NOT EASY.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING AT CERRITOS COLLEGE SINCE 2012.

IN PSYCHOLOGY.

[INDISCERNABLE] HOWEVER, I HAVE WATCHED AGAIN AND I HAVE COME TO THE BOARD OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I AM SURE THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE SEEN ME ON CAMPUS.

I AM TOLD THAT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE AN OPINION BECAUSE IT DOESN'T AGREE WITH THE CDC.

I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FIGHT LONG BEFORE I CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND FINALLY REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED AND I AM NO LONGER ALONE BECAUSE OF THE DISRUPTION AT THE CDC AND FDA A REVOLVING DOOR.

THERE WAS A DOCTOR ON THE BOARD AND I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW ALL OF YOU, I AND PART TIME AND I HAVE A SON TO TAKE CARE OF, A BUSY LIFE PAPERS TO GRADE.

I DID NOT PREPARE ANYTHING TONIGHT BECAUSE THE LAST TIME IT TOOK ME TWO DAYS TO GET THE EMAIL OUT.

IT WAS A LOT OF WORK GOOD LAST TIME I PUT A COMMENT BEFORE THE BOARD IT WAS JUST SOME TALKING POINTS BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE NO MATTER HOW MANY FACTS I BRING TO THE BOARD THEY JUST GO ON TILL HE IGNORED.

IF THERE IS A DOCTOR ON THE PANEL I BROUGHT UP THAT WE ARE STILL UNDER AN EDA AND I'M TOLD THAT WE ARE INCORRECT THIS IS ON THE FDA WEBSITE WHEN IT COMES TO THE VACCINE THE FDA APPROVED A VACCINE OF COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE MADE BY PFIZER BY BIONTECH AND THE FDA AUTHORIZES THE COVID-19 VACCINE.

THIS IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES.

THIS IS JUST LOGIC AND THE FIRST POINT COULD AGAIN, I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK BECAUSE I DON'T AGREE WITH MAJOR OPINIONS PER THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS, IT IS INTERCHANGEABLE WITH OTHER COVID-19 VACCINES.

IT HAS THE SAME WARM ELATION OF THE FDA AUTHORIZED PFIZER BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE AND CAN BE USED INTERCHANGEABLY TO PROVIDE COVID-19 VACCINE WITHOUT PRESENTING SAFETY OR EFFICACY CONCERNS PER THE PRODUCTS ARE LEGALLY

[00:30:03]

I AM SORRY, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE EFFECTIVENESS IS.

IN 1996 THE CDC, THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY CAME TO THE GOVERNMENT AND ASKED THEM, THERE ARE TOO MANY LIABILITIES WE ARE LOSING MONEY.

WE NEED LIABILITY FOR VACCINE SO PRESIDENT BUSH IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM SAID FINE, WE ARE GOING TO MAKE LIABILITY FREE WHEN IT COMES TO VACCINE, YOU CANNOT SUE A MANUFACTURE OVER A VACCINE IF YOU ARE A CHILD.

AGAIN, I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW.

THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES HAVE NOT BEEN HELD LIABLE.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SINCE 1996.

OR EIGHT YEARS AGO ONE OF THE COMPANIES ASKED BECAUSE THE DETAIL WAS THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO REPORT EVERY TWO YEARS ON YOUR SAFETY AND EFFICACY VACCINES AND GUESS WHAT NO REPORTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES HAVE BEEN POLICING THEMSELVES FOR DECADES.

THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT BROUGHT US THE OXYCONTIN CRISIS IN OUR COUNTRY AND TOLD OUR DOCTORS THAT THIS WAS SAFE TO TAKE.

ELDERLY, THOSE WHO BROKE THE HIP, OR WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND CAME OUT AND WERE GIVEN OXYCONTIN.

ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN WE NEED A VACCINE THEY ARE SAINTS AND THEY ARE STILL POLICING THEMSELVES.

I AM SORRY BUT A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY WILL NOT BE HELD FOR INJURIES AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS IN LINE WITH THE RISK OF BEING INJURED.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS BROUGHT IMMUNITY FOR ANY INJURY CAUSED A VACCINE DEVELOPER.

THEN THE REPORT CAME OUT.

HE CAME OUT, IT UP TO THE REPORT AND IT CAME OUT, THIS IS 2022.

THE NUMBER OF DEATHS ARE 17,000.

DO NOT VARY IS? IT IS THE VACCINE THAT WAS FIRST REPORTED IN THE SYSTEM.

IN 2010 HARVARD UNIVERSITY WAS GIVEN $1 MILLION TO DO A STUDY TO FIND OUT HOW ACCURATE THIS REPORTING SYSTEM WAS AND THEY FOUND IT WAS ONE PERCENT ACCURATE.

THERE'S IS VERY.[INDISCERNABLE].

IF YOU TAKE THIS AND MAGNIFY THE NUMBERS WE HAVE ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNTS OF DEATHS AND VACCINE INJURIES.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE EDUCATED PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW IT TAKES FOR FIVE YEARS FOR A DRUG TO COME TO MARKET AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS WILL BE AND WE ARE INFECTING OUR CHILDREN.

YOU ARE TELLING COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALMOST NO RISK WHATSOEVER OF DYING IT IS DISEASE THAT THEY HAVE TO BE INJECTED.

I AM A PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR AND I DON'T TELL MY STUDENT WHAT TO BELIEVE OR WHAT TO THINK.

I TEACH THEM TO ASK QUESTIONS THATAND QUICKLY THINK ABOUT A SITUATION AND NOT JUST TAKE INFORMATION AND REGURGITATE IT.

ISN'T THAT WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO AS A COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR? TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES? I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS WOULD COME TO THIS.

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE REST OF THE TIME TO THANK THOSE WHO GO BACK IN THE CLASSROOM.

I CANNOT TEACH IN A MASK.

I'M ALSO IN THE COLLEGE DEPARTMENT.

I AM A TOUCHY D-LEAGUE PERSON.

I CANNOT CONNECT WITH A MASK OVER THEIR FACE.

THIS IS NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE SPREAD.

IT'S LIKE WEARING A CHAIN-LINK FENCE AND TRYING TO STOP A MOSQUITO.

THERE'S WAY BETTER WAYS TO STOP THE SPREAD LIKE STAYING HOME IF YOU ARE SICK AND WASHING YOUR HANDS AND STAYING AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE OBVIOUSLY SICK.

I AM AN ONLINE EMPLOYEE LIKE A SAID AND I DON'T KNOW IF I AM COMING BACK LIKE A SAID.

I MISS MY CLASSROOM.

YOU GUYS ARE ASKING ME TO SUBMIT TO TELL YOU WHAT MIGHT PERSONAL BELIEFS ARE AND WHY IN LIFE AND DEATH IN ORDER TO NOT TAKE AN EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE TO KEEP MY JOB THAT I HAVE HAD HERE FOR 10 YEARS? I'VE NEVER BEEN TESTED TAKE A VACCINE.

I AM A REALLY GOOD TEACHER AND I LOVE WHAT I DO BUT I'M GOING TO BE STAYING HOME AND OUT AND HOPEFULLY MY EXEMPTION WILL BE APPROVED BUT YOU WANT ME TO TEST AT HOME? THAT IS OVERREACHED.

THAT IS TOTALITARIANISM.

THERE IS NO REASON YOUR CAMPUS IS IN DANGER IF I DON'T ACCESS YOUR CAMPUS.

IF I AM AT HOME THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON I HAVE TO TEST OR FOLLOW THOSE RULES.

I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE STOP THIS QUICKNESS THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING THIS WITH GOOD SLOWDOWN.

ONLY DO WITH THE STATE IS REQUIRING YOU TO DO BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU THE STATE IS GOING TO PULL BACK.

THIS IS ILLEGAL THEY CANNOT DO THIS YOU CANNOT FORCE EVIL TO TAKE SOMETHING INTO THEIR BODY THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE.

PLEASE, SLOW DOWN.

THAT'S ALL WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO.

LET US HAVE THE OPTION TO TEST.

DON'T FORCE SOMEBODY TO PUT SOMETHING IN THEIR BODY THAT THEY DON'T WANT.

[00:35:01]

BUT, YOU HAVE JUST AS MUCH OF A CHANCE TO SPREAD IT AS WE DO.

VIRAL LOADS ARE HERE.

THE CDC HAS SAID IT.

FOR YOUR REQUEST WENT IN YOUR ASKED IF YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE OF AN ACCIDENT OF PEOPLE OF GOTTEN COVID AND RECOVERED.

DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY HAVEN'T HAD THIS BECAUSE OF NOT COLLECTING THE DATA.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[APPLAUSE] >> I BELIEVE WE HAVE A FEW MORE COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE.

>> YES WE HAVE SEVERAL COMMENTS AND IN SUPPORT OF ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS 5.02 IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO CLOSE AT THAT TIME?

>> THAT MAKES SENSE.

I WILL MOVE TO COMMENTS FOR THE CONSTITUENTS.[INDISCERNABLE]

[1.05 Reports and Comments from Constituent Groups]

AS YOU HEARD FROM THE LAST BOARD MEETING, HAVING TAXES TO QUALITY CONSISTENT HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ISN'T TO OUR FULL-TIME FACULTY.

FURTHERMORE, CCFF ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HAVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT ONLY BE A FULL-TIME PRIVILEGE.

[2.02 Institutional Presentation: Redistricting Process]

[00:45:02]

>> THANK YOU.

BEFORE I TURN IT OVER I WANTED TO GET TO THE DISTRICT.

THEY HAVE PARTNERED UP WITH NEW DISTRICTING PARTNERS IN THIS PROCESS.

TODAY WE HAD A REPRESENTATIVE FROM REDISTRICTING.

K IS WITH US AND SHE WILL GO OVER THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS AND INTRODUCE SOME TIMELINES FOR ALL OF US REGARDING THIS REDISTRICTING PROCESS.

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO KATE TO GET US STARTED AND WE WILL GO AHEAD AND RUN THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION FOR YOU, K.

>> WONDERFUL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

MY NAME IS K MEL PLEASURE I AM A PROJECT MANAGER WITH REDISTRICTING PARTNERS AND TONIGHT WERE GOING OVER THE BASICS OF REDISTRICTING AND ALSO TALK ABOUT THE DATA FROM THE 2020 CENSUS AND OUR NEXT STEP SO WE CAN GO AHEAD WITH THE NEXT SLIDE.

>> FIRST, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US.

REDISTRICTING PARTNERS IS A FIRM THAT FOCUSES ON REDISTRICTING DEMOGRAPHICS AND VOTING RIGHTS ANALYSIS.

WE WORK UNDER A MASTER AGREEMENT FOR THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND WE PROVIDE SERVICES DIRECTLY TO DISTRICTS ON ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF DISTRICTS.

ESPECIALLY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS.

DUNMORE OF THIS WORK WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES MORE THAN ANY OTHER FIRM AND WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT REDISTRICTING IS.

REDISTRICTING IS THE PROCESS OF ADJUSTING DISTRICT LINES EVERY 10 YEARS AFTER THE RELEASE OF U.S.

CENSUS DATA.

PEOPLE THINK OF REDISTRICTING OR CONGRESSIONAL OR LEGISLATIVE REDISTRICTING BUT SPECIAL COMMITTEE DISTRICTS LIKE MANY COLLEGES ALSO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

IN THE US THIS HAS BECOME AN EXTREMELY POLITICIZED PROCESS.

IT HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF MANY MORE SUPREME KATE DECISIONS.

WE HAVE PRINCIPLES THAT WE FOLLOW THAT WE CALL TRADITIONAL REDISTRICTING PRINCIPLES.

WE HAVE THESE PRINCIPLES IN PLACE TO PREVENT REDISTRICTING FROM BECOMING A GERRYMANDER.

THERE ARE A NUMBER CRITERIA THAT HAVE BEEN USED NATIONALLY AND IN COURTS AND THEY ARE RANKED HERE.

THE FIRST OF THESE IS THAT THE DISTRICT SHOULD BE OF RELATIVELY EQUAL SIZE AND WE SAY EQUAL SIZE WE MEAN PEOPLE AND NOT CITIZENS OR VOTERS FOR THE TOTAL POPULATION OF THE DISTRICT.

THE DISTRICT HAS TO BE CONTIGUOUS AND THAT IS A WORD USED IN REDISTRICTING AND WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT THE DISTRICT SHOULD NOT JUMP.

ANOTHER WORD OF THAT COULD BE DRAW IT WITH ONE LINE SO THERE AREN'T ISLAND OF THE DISTRICT IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE.

THE NEXT STEP IS TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE KEEPING DISTRICTS COMPACT IN BOTH APPEARANCE AND FUNCTION AND SO, WHEN WE SAY COMPACT IN APPEARANCE I'M SURE WHEN YOU THINK OF GERRYMANDERING YOU THINK OF THOSE LONG SNAKE LIKE DISTRICTS, WE DON'T WANT OUR DISTRICT TO LOOK LIKE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE KEEPING POPULATION AREAS THAT ARE MOST TOGETHER TOGETHER IN THE SAME DISTRICT AS LONG AS THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPLES.

WHEN WE SAY COMPACT IN APPEARANCE WE REALLY WANT THEM TO LOOK AS SQUARE OR CIRCULAR AS POSSIBLE.

JUST AS COMPACT AND NOT LONG.

AND ALSO IN FUNCTION.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DISTRICTS ARE COMPACT AND FUNCTIONING AS WELL.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT A MAP IT LOOKS LIKE TWO HOUSES ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

SOMETIMES THOSE HOUSES COULD BE SEPARATED BY FREEWAYS OR RIVERS OR MOUNTAINS AND THAT MEANS THEY ARE IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT COMMUNITY AND OF TOTALLY DIFFERENT POLICY ISSUES THAN THE HOUSE THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE IT IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEM.

WE WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO HOW CLOSE COMMUNITIES REALLY ARE AND TO CONSIDER THE FUNCTIONALITY AS WELL.

NEXT, WE WANT TO MAINTAIN COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST.

[00:50:02]

AND ALSO FOLLOWING THE CITY, COUNTY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT LINES.

WE CAN GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

I MENTIONED THAT COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST ARE GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD AND IF IT FROM BEING MAINTAINED IN A SINGLE DISTRICT.

WHAT THEY REALLY ARE OUR BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE DISTRICT AND IT CAN INCLUDE ETHNIC AND LANGUAGE MINORITIES AND INCLUDE MANY OTHER PROOFS.

EXAMPLE A COMMUNITY OF INTEREST COULD BE A NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT COULD BE A GROUP OF RENTERS DOWNTOWN, A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE IT CAN BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND IS SUBJECT OF AND INCLUSIVE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CONSIDERING ALL DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES.

AND SO THERE ARE CERTAIN COMMUNITIES THAT ARE COVERED BY THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT LATINOS, ASIANS AND AFRICAN-AMERICANS.

WHILE RACE IS A POINT OF INTEREST IT CAN'T BE THE PREDOMINANT FACTOR FOR WHEN DRAWING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.

STARTING IN 2020 CITIES AND COUNTIES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS HAVE ADDITIONAL CRITERIA THAT THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA FAIR MAPS ACT OF 2019.

SPECIAL DISTRICTS LIKE THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS DO NOT HAVE THIS ADDITIONAL CRITERIA BUT WE ARE USING IT AS A BEST PRACTICE WHILE REDISTRICTING AND THESE ARE TRANSPARENCY WHEN CONDUCTING REDISTRICTING NOT USING INCUMBENT OR CANDIDATE RESIDENCE AS A COMMUNITY OF INTEREST AND NOT DRAWING DISTRICTS TO ADVANTAGE A POLITICAL PARTY.

LIKE I SAID, SCHOOLS DO NOT APPLY TO THESE COLLEGE DISTRICTS BUT WE WANT TO USE THEM AS BEST PRACTICES TO PUSH OTHER AGENCIES TO DEVELOP THEM.

AS WE CAN SEE THESE ARE OUR EXISTING LINES FOR CERRITOS AND WE CAN GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE EXISTING DIVISION.

RIGHT NOW WITH ALL SEVEN DISTRICTS WE HAVE TOTAL POPULATION OF 436,500 14 AND AS OUR TOTAL POPULATION.

AN IDEAL TRUSTEE AREA SIZE WOULD BE 62,359.

RIGHT NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE THE DEVIATIONS ARE AS FAR AWAY AS EACH DISTRICT IS FROM THAT IDEAL TRUSTEE AREA SIZE NUMBER.

AND SO, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE TRUSTEE AREA ONE, FOUR AND SEVEN, ONE AND FOUR I AM SORRY HAVE POSITIVE DEVIATION WHICH MEANS THEY ARE ABOVE OR EXCEED THE IDEAL NUMBER AND THAT IS AREAS TWO, THREE, FIVE AND SIX HAVE NEGATIVE DEVIATIONS SO THEY ARE UNDER THE POPULATION NUMBER.

WE CAN GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

FOR THE TOTAL DISTRICT DEVIATION PUT TOGETHER THE SUMS OF THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF THE HIGHEST DEVIATION.

HERE, WE SEE THAT DISTRICT 4 HAS THE HIGHEST DEVIATION TO THE POSITIVE DEVIATION OF 6.6 PERCENT.

IN AREA SEVEN HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST DEVIATION WITH A -5.5 PERCENT.

THE TOTAL DEVIATION OF THAT DISTRICT AS A WHOLE IS 12.1 PERCENT WHICH IS OVER THE MAXIMUM DEVIATION ALLOWED OF 10 PERCENT SO WE WILL HAVE TO SEE SOME MOVEMENT OF THE POPULATION HERE.

>> WE CAN GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO, THIS IS THE NEXT STEP.

TONIGHT WE WENT OVER THE BASICS AND LOOKED AT THE DATA FROM THE 2020 CENSUS.

IN JANUARY WE WILL BE HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING ON DRAFT MAPS AND WE WILL BE PRESENTING THREE DRAFT MAPS TO YOU AND THESE ARE AGAIN THE DRAFT MAPS, NO FINAL MAPS SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ANY INPUT AT THAT MEETING AND THEN IN FEBRUARY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WILL VOTE ON THE REVISED TRUSTEE AREAS AND WE HAVE A DEADLINE

[00:55:07]

THAT IS THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? TRUSTEE LEWIS?

>> WHAT IS THE PLAN IN GETTING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED IN DRAWINGSDRAWING THE LINES? ARE WE GOING TO USE ANY TOOLS FOR DISTRICT DRAWING OR ANY OTHER TOOLS THAT THE PUBLIC CAN BE SUBMITTING?

>> K, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ANSWER?

>> YES.

I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THE DECISION WAS ON THE DISTRICT IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO USE THE ONLINE TOOL.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.

WE COULD DO AND ONLINE SURVEY ON THE WEBSITE.

AN EMAIL ADDRESS WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEND THEIR INPUT AND TESTIMONY AND ALSO IT DOESN'T HURT FOR PHILLY EXTRA PUBLIC HEARING FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH SPECIFICALLY.

IF YOU DO NOT USE THE ONLINE TOOL THERE'S OTHER WAYS TO GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.

I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE DECISION WAS WITH THAT REDISTRICTING.

>> TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DECISION WITH THAT.

IT IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD DISCUSS HERE AS A BOARD.

I KNOW A FEW CITIES HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND AROUND THE NATION HAVE USED IT AND IT'S PRETTY INTUITIVE TOOL TO USE AND VERY EASY TO SUBMIT TO THE INTERNET ACCESS.

WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT YOURSELF AND SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO USE.

THERE IS FLEETWOOD, LA MIRADA AND L FLOWER HAVE PRELOADED MAPS ON THERE THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER AT CERRITOS COLLEGE TO HAVE LOADED ON THERE AS WELL.

>> AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THIS IS A TOOL FOR FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST FOR OUR CONSIDERATION AND PROCESS.

>> BOTH EXPRESSIONS OF COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST AS WELL AS THEIR OWN DRAFT MAP THAT THEY MAY SUBMIT SO, YOU CAN DO BOTH.

>> GREAT, THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE OUTREACH, CAN WE GO BACK TO THE LAST SLIDE THAT HAS THE SCHEDULE? IT MENTIONS A PUBLIC HEARING IN JANUARY.

WE PLANNING ON DOING A PUBLIC HEARING BECAUSE I DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE.

>> RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING JUST THE ONE AND WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE ONE MORE BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING AND PRIOR TO THAT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AND ADD IF IT IS AGREEABLE WITH THE TRUSTEES FOR THE OFFICERS OF THE BOARD TO BE LOOKING IN EARLY ON ON THE DATA THAT IS GOING TO BE RELEASED BY THE DRAFT MAP SO THERE IS SOME LEVEL OF HUMAN OCCASION AND AWARENESS OF WHY IT IS HAPPENING BEFORE IT COMES TO YOU FOR THAT POSITION.

[01:00:05]

>> MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE ARE UNDER AND UNFORTUNATE TIME CRUNCH DO TO THE FACT THAT IT IS NOVEMBER 28 AND ALL OF THE CENSUS DATA WAS LATE AND THAT PUTS US IN A BAD SPOT.

>> THAT IS RIGHT BUT WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO SOME THING TO DO WITH.[INDISCERNABLE] WITH THE SAME WAY FROM ONE WEEK TO THE NEXT OR IN THE AFTERNOON FOR MORE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IF SOMEONE WANTS THAT ATTENTION AND I THINK IT WOULD BE DISAGREEABLE FOR THE BOARD TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO REFER TO THE BOARD AS THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THIS HAPPENS EVERY 10 YEARS SO I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE ENTIRE BOARD NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED AND WE DEFINITELY NEED TO DO ANOTHER HEARING AND I SUGGEST THAT WE WORK WITH TRUSTEE ALVAREZ AND THEIR COLLEAGUES TO POSTED UP THERE TO WORK WITH THE SOUTHERN END OF THE DISTRICT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING ON THE NORTHERN END OF THE DISTRICT FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME TO SPEAK DURING THE HEARING AND ALSO TO HAVE SPANISH AND ENGLISH TRANSLATION AND I KNOW THAT THAT WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT.

I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING A SURVEY SO THAT WOULD BE A WAY TO GET PEOPLE ENGAGED.

I AM SURE WE HAVE ADDRESSES, TEXT MESSAGING CAPABILITY.

I THINK THE MORE INPUT THE BETTER.

AND I THINK AGAIN, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET A MAP FOR THE LAST TIME THE MAPS WERE THERE AND THE ONLY THING THAT WAS PUSHING THAT WAS VP DR. SHIN LIU.

SINCE THE MAPS WERE DRAWN, MOST OF US WOULD NOT HAVE PICKED THE DISTRICTS AS THEY WERE DRAWN BECAUSE THOSE DISTRICTS WERE DRAWN TO CHECK THE INCUMBENT AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT FORTUNATELY, OCCURRED.

BUT WE HAD THE ACTION TO CORRECT THAT AND CHANGE THAT AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE PROCESS BE VERY FAIR IN VERY TRANSPARENT AND THAT IS WHY I WOULD ARGUE THAT THE ENTIRE BOARD NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED IN ALL THIS AND HAVE MORE HEARINGS AND SURVEYS.

I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO SPEND MORE IS LESS TIME ON AND AGAIN IT HAS A HUGE IMPACT LONG AFTER WE ARE ON THIS OR.

THE OTHER THING I WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN WAS YOU MENTIONED THE CPAP.

WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT WHEN DRAWING MAPS?

>> THE CPAP IS THE CITIZEN VOTING PAGE POPULATION.

WE COULD ACTUALLY, IF WE WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DATA TABLE THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

THANK YOU.

PERFECT.

HERE AT THE BOTTOM YOU CAN SEE THE CITIZEN VOTING AGE POPULATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THERE ARE FOUR LATINO GEORDIE MINORITY SEATS AND THESE ARE TRUSTEE AREA ONE, TWO, THREE AND SIX.

THERE IS ALSO ONE ASIAN MAJORITY MINORITY SEAT IN DISTRICT 5 AT 52 PERCENT OR TRUSTEE AREA FIVE EXCUSE ME.

THESE ARE INFLUENCED DISTRICTS THE MAJORITY MINORITY DISTRICTS AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP THESE INTACT AND MAKE SURE WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO THESE MAJORITY LINES AS WELL.

>> I THINK THAT IS ANOTHER KEY POINT, TOO.

DON'T WANT TO LOSE OUR DIVERSITY ON OUR TRUSTEE BOARD AS WE TAKE GOOD PRIDE ON THAT AS WE DO REALLY REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE SO THAT'S AN IMPORTANT

[03:55:42]

[03:55:44]

WE COULD ARRANGE THAT IF WE WANT AND AGAIN WE DO HAVE THE MEETINGS AND THAT WOULD GIVE US SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE TWO HEARINGS.

>> IS IT POSSIBLE TO COLLECT BECAUSE I DO UNDERSTAND THAT TO USE THE DISTRICT OR SOFTWARE TO COLLECT INFORMATION AROUND CERTAIN COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST AND IS THERE A WAY TO GATHER, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE DESPITE OUR CALENDAR.

>> WE WILL HAVE A FOLLOW-UP WITH THE DISTRICT TO SEE HOW WE CAN PUT TOGETHER THE ONLINE TOOL IF THAT IS THE DIRECTION WE ARE GOING AND WE WILL BE COLLECTING INFORMATION PRIOR TO THAT AND OBVIOUSLY WE ARE WAITING TO RECEIVE DATA ON THE FINAL NUMBERS OF THE CENSUS AND ALSO WE SHOULD BE RECEIVING THAT DATA SOON AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BRING SOMETHING ONLINE.

>> OKAY.

CLERK AVALOS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

>> A COUPLE OF THINGS AND I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH HAVING MORE AVAILABILITY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS WHO WANT TO CHIME IN AND GIVE THEIR OPINIONS.

THERE IS A THING CALLED DISTRICTS SCENARIO AND I WANTED TO SHOW IT TO YOU GUYS.

IT ALLOWS FOLKS TO ACTUALLY CREATE MAPS ALLOWING THEM TO DO THAT AND HAVING GUIDELINES IN TERMS OF THE VOTER AMOUNTS.

I GUESS WE CAN CALL IT THAT AND ALSO BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THE GEOGRAPHICAL FOUNDRIES AND ALL THOSE THINGS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IN TERMS OF TEST PRACTICES.

I THINK IT IS TRULY IMPORTANT TO FACILITATE AND HAVE SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE ON OUR WEBSITE.

I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ON IT AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU WE ARE BEHIND IN TERMS OF THE TIMELINE.

I THINK IF WE HAD FOUR, WE HAVE SEVEN DISTRICTS.

WE HAVE HAD FOUR MEETINGS AND I STILL THINK IT IS SHORT AND WE DON'T WANT TO SHORTCHANGE OUR COMMUNITY.

THIS IS AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF UNDERTAKING IN TERMS OF WHAT WE DO.

MARISSA SAID THE LAST NUMBER ARE INCUMBENTS AND THE NUMBERS LOOK AT IN TERMS OF WHO THEY REPRESENT.

A CLASSIC EXAMPLE, FOR ME, HALF OF MY CITY OR DISTRICTS THAT I REPRESENT ARE DIVIDED IN HALF.

IT MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER BUT THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.

I THINK WE HAVE A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT TO READJUST WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE AND WE REALLY NEED TO ALLOW THE VOTERS TO HAVE INPUT AND I DON'T THINK ONE MEETING IS GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT.

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE 400 36,000 PEOPLE AND WE ARE ONLY PROVIDING ONE PUBLIC MEETING? I DON'T THINK THAT IS FAIR.

IN ORDER TO DO ONE MEETING FOR EVERY 100,000 WE STILL FALL SHORT.

I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT WE HAVE ONE MEETING EVERY WEEK FOR THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS UNTIL THE MONTH OF JANUARY TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC INFORMATION IF WERE NOT DOING THAT WE SHOULD PROVIDE THEM SORT OF TOOL ON OUR WEBSITE FOR THEM TO CREATE A DRAFT MAP SO THAT WOULD AT LEAST GIVE US SOMETHING THAT WE CAN AT LEAST REFERENCE IN TERMS OF PARTICIPATION WITH THE ENGAGEMENT ON THEIR INS.

I DON'T KNOW AND I WILL BE VERY HONEST BUT I DON'T KNOW IF A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITIES ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON REDISTRICTING OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE POWERFUL POSITIONS IN TERMS OF CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS AND ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS.

HAVING SAID THAT I STILL THINK WE CAN PROVIDE AS MUCH INFORMATION AND OPPORTUNITY AND PERHAPS EVEN THOSE THAT WE REPRESENT BECAUSE POPULATION IS BIGGER THAN THE TRADITIONAL DISTRICT.

THOSE ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS AND TRUTHFULLY WE DO HAVE A VARIETY OF LANGUAGES THAT LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITIES SO LOOK AT WHAT THOSE LANGUAGES LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF WHAT IS PRESENTED ON OUR WEBSITE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS REALLY STRICT GUIDELINES WHEN IT COMES TO THE ELECTORATE AND WHAT IS PROVIDED AND AS AN ELECTION OFFICIAL WE REALLY NEED TO TARGET WHAT THE MAJOR LINKAGES ARE IN OUR ENTIRE DISTRICT SO THAT IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL AND WE ARE OPEN TO SUGGESTION.

>> INCORPORATED YOU TRUSTEE ALVAREZ.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? TRUSTEE DR. SANDRA SALAZAR?

>> THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE AND I WILL ACCEPT VP DR. SHIN LIU BUT WHAT WAS THE PROCESS LAST TIME? MY CONCERN WAS THAT THERE WAS A PRODUCTION OF CERTAIN INCUMBENTS IN THE BOARD.

I WAS WONDERING IF WE DO THE SAME PROCESS OR HOW DO WE CHANGE THOSE MAPS THAT FAVOR THEM? AND, IS THIS FIRM HIRED BY US OR WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE IN THE THIRD ONE WOULD BE WHAT IS THE TIMELINE IN TERMS OF RECEIVING THE DRAFT? I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE VOTE WHEN WE EXPECT TO SEE A DRAFT?

>> I CAN ANSWER THE LAST TWO BUT I WILL NEED SOME HELP THE LAST ONE.

I WILL LET VP DR. SHIN LIU GO WITH THE PROCESS AS YOU MIGHT HAVE A BETTER HISTORY ON THAT HERE.

>> FOR THE LAST TIME, THE DRAFT WAS ABOUT 40 MAPS AND SO, BEFORE WE ASKED THE COMMUNITY TO GET INVOLVED WE HAD THE FULL MAP AND IT IS NOT GENERATED AS PEOPLE SAY IT IS NOT DATED FOR THE LONG-TERM AND IT IS INACCURATE.

IT WAS DONE BY A COMPANY AND FOR THE COMMUNITY, THE COMMUNITY GOT TO VOTE ON WHAT MAP THEY WANTED AND I THINK WE HAD ONLY ONE OR TWO FOR THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO VOICE THEIR CONCERN AND THE DECISION WAS BASED ON THE COMMUNITY INPUT AND THE TRUSTEES.

LAST TIME WAS VERY UNIQUE.

SO, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS THE STORY BUT IT WAS VERY UNIQUE BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND THIS IS TO ASK THE DATA TO SERVE THE POPULATION AND SO, THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME.

IT WAS DRAMATIC BUT IT IS ALWAYS LIKE THAT, RIGHT?

>> JUST TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE ARE DOING WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER A MORE ROUND PROCESS.

LAST TIME WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS THE COLLEGE WAS MANDATED TO DO A REDISTRICTING AND HAVE THESE ELECTIONS.

IT WAS VERY CONTENTIOUS.

THREE BOARD MEMBERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AND THAT WAS A PROBLEM.

AS YOU NOTICE IN THE CURRENT MAPS THERE ARE THREE AREAS THAT TOUCH WITHIN BLOCKS AND YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE THAT THE MAPS WERE GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE INCUMBENT BOARD MEMBERS.

EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS OPPOSITION TO THE MAPS AND THE WAY THEY WERE DRAWN, THE BOARD AT THE TIME, FOR MEMBERS LIVED WITHIN BLOCKS OF EACH OTHER AND I WAS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THAT.

AND SO, LONG STORY SHORT WE HAVE THE CURRENT ONE THAT WE HAVE.

I AM HAPPY TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS BECAUSE I THINK IT HAD BEEN RUSHED AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF THE DELAY IN RECEIVING INFORMATION AND WE SHOULD DO OUR BEST IN PROVIDING MORE ACCESSIBILITY AND RECOGNIZING THAT MANY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE REDISTRICTING PROCESS AND WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS WHO ARE FIRST-GENERATION AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING HOW IT ALL COMES INTO PLAY FOR THE COMMUNITY, WE SHOULD BE DOING SOME IN TERMS OF OUTREACH, TO PUT OUT TO THE COLLEAGUES THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS PUBLISHED QUICKLY AND.[INDISCERNABLE] THESE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND HEARING THEIR OPINIONS.

I'M GLAD THAT WE ARE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION AND RECOGNIZE WE HAVE A LOT OF TIME COMING UP ON THE HOLIDAYS AND WE ARE REALLY FOCUSING ON FAMILY AT THIS TIME AND WE REALLY NEED TO GET SOMETHING ON THE WEBSITE REGARDING THE MAPS AND THESE MODULES AND DISTRICT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

>> THANK YOU APPEARED TO OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN IN TERMS OF THIS CONSULTING FIRM WHETHER IT IS SOMEONE WE ACQUIRED OR HOW THAT WAS CHOSEN? AND THE LAST ONE WAS WHEN WE WILL SEE A DRAFT OF THE MAPS.

>> THE DISTRICT PARTNERS HAVE CONFIRMED THROUGH THE FOUNDATION AND THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE.

WE CONTRACT WITH THEM SO WE WILL HIRE THEM.

>> ALL OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE WILL BE USING THE SAME FIRM?

>> NOT NECESSARILY BUT USUALLY WHAT WE DO IS WE FOLLOW THE AGREEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SIGNED WITH THE FOUNDATION AND WE PARTNER WITH THEM SO IT IS WITH THE OTHER FIRMS. AND KAY, CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THE LAST QUESTION ABOUT THE DATA?

>> WE TRIED TO GET THE DRAFT MAPS TO THE BOARD BEFORE THEY GO PUBLIC AND THEY WILL GO ON THE WEBSITE PRIOR TO THE DRAFT MAPS PUBLIC HEARING.

I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE OF THE EXACT DATE BECAUSE FROM MY UNDERSTANDING WE DID NOT HAVE AN EXACT DATE FOR THE JANUARY DRAFT MAPS MEETING BUT IF WE DO HAVE AN EXACT DATE THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC TIME THAT YOU WOULD LIKE THEM WE CAN WORK WITH YOU TO TRY TO GET THEM BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THEM IN TIME AND BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THEM AND MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN LOOK AT THAT.

TRY TO DO THAT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THE DRAFT PRESENTATION TO GIVE YOU ENOUGH TIME TO LOOK IT OVER.

>> WILL THE PROCESS BE THE SAME FOR HAVING MULTIPLE VERSIONS? WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR THAT?

>> BECAUSE OF THE LINES WE WILL HAVE TO ADJUST THE POPULATION BECAUSE WE ARE OVER THE 10 PERCENT DEVIATION.

WE WILL HAVE A DRAFT MAP THAT IS AS CLOSE TO EXISTING LINES WHILE BALANCING POPULATION AND THEN WE WILL ALSO HAVE TWO OTHER DRAFT MAPS INITIALLY TO START WITH AND WHEN WE DRAW THOSE DRAFT MAPS WE USUALLY LOOK AT THINGS LIKE UNIFYING NEIGHBORHOODS, UNIFYING CITIES AND IN YOUR CASE IN THE CASE OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS WE ALSO MIGHT LOOK AT SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND UNIFYING HIGH

[04:00:02]

THAT IS USUALLY WHAT WE LOOK AT FOR OUR DRAFT MAPS BUT WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT THE COMMUNITY OF INTERESTS AS WELL.

ANY INPUT RECEIVED WE WILL CONSIDER THAT AND MAKE SURE WE ARE KEEPING THOSE COMMUNITIES WHOLE BECAUSE IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE WHEN REDISTRICTING.

THAT IS USUALLY HOW WE START WITH THE DRAFT MAP PROCESS AND THEN WE TAKE ANY INPUT FROM THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND FROM THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL.

>> THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS: GO AHEAD.

>> ARE WE HIRING AN OUTREACH CONSULTANT? CAN WE DO THAT UNDER YOUR AUTHORITY? TRUSTEE ALVAREZ MENTIONED, AS EXACTLY RIGHT.

SOMEBODY YESTERDAY SENT OUT A PRESS RELEASE TO ALL OF THE NEWSPAPERS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FITTING IN AND ALL OF US ARE FROM DIFFERENT CITIES NOW, I JUST REALIZED THAT.

WE ALL LIVE IN DIFFERENT CITIES AND WE HAVE ONLINE CITY NEWSPAPERS THAT IS ALL CONNECTED AND THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT THE INFORMATION AND I WAS WONDERING IF WE WOULD HIRE A CONSULTANT TO HELP.

BECAUSE IN THIS SHORT TIME THERE IS A LIMITED SCOPE AND THERE IS A LOT THAT COULD BE DONE AND I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE THE PROCESS.

I KNOW THAT THEY DIDN'T CHANGE THEIR MAPS MUCH BUT MAN, THEY WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE FROM THE EMAILS, THE BILLBOARDS, IN SPANISH AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

NINE AND DATE THAT CITY HAS REALLY GOTTEN AND TRIED TO GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.

I REALLY ALL THE OUTREACH TO.

>> YES, THANK YOU.

THAT REDISTRICTING PARTNERS ALSO OPENED THE COMMUNICATION AND WE WILL WORK ON THAT WITH K AND KIM.

>> THAT IS GREAT.

ONE RELATED ITEM, DO WE HAVE, I KNOW WE HAVEN'T APPROVED A SLATE OF THINGS FOR OUR BOARD NEXT YEAR, DO WE HAVE ANY DRAFT OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE? IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE AS MUCH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS THROUGH ALL OF THIS?

>> YES.

ASIDE FROM THE MEETINGS THAT YOU WILL APPROVE COMING UP IN DECEMBER, WE CAN SCHEDULE A TENTATIVE TIME FOR THE SPECIAL MEETINGS SO, IF YOU CAN CALL THEM OR NOT BUT WE CAN PUT SOME PLACEHOLDERS FOR SPECIAL MEETING.

ALSO, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IF ALL OF YOU ARE GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN AGAIN WE WOULD LIKE THAT, WE WOULD HAVE TO POST YOUR PRESENCE ON EACH ONE OF THE FORUMS AND ALSO SINCE IT IS A PUBLIC MEETING IF WE DO NOT ADVERTISE PROPERLY WE WILL BE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT.

>> THAT IS GREAT.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF WE HAVE JANUARY DATES ALREADY SLATED EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT ALREADY FINALIZED BUT AT LEAST IF WE HAD THOSE IN MIND IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR US.

>> YES.

TENTATIVELY WE HAVE JANUARY 19 AS A REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING, FEBRUARY 9 AS A TENTATIVE STUDY SESSION, FEBRUARY 16 IS ANOTHER.

>> ONE THOUGHT IS MAYBE WE HAD AN ALTERNATIVE TO HAVE AN EARLY JANUARY MEETING TO GIVE OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT MORE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ALLOWED OR NOT.

>> ALL RIGHT, THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY RIGOROUS PROCESS AND I COULD NOT AGREE MORE THAN WITH MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS AND IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE DOING THIS RIGHT.

THAT IS WONDERFUL.

I APPRECIATE THE CARE AND RIGOR THAT K AND HER TEAM ARE GOING TO BRING TO THAT PROCESS.

ALL RIGHT.

>> SO, TO SUMMARIZE, WE WILL WORK TOGETHER AND WE WILL HAVE A MEETING COMING UP WITH K AND HER TEAM AND WE WILL DEVELOP ADDITIONAL STEPS AND WE WILL BE MOVING THE BOARD WITH THOSE STEPS PRIOR TO THE DECEMBER MEETING AND THE DECEMBER MEETING WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE REVIEW AND IF WE CAN WE WILL HAVE THE DATA ALREADY AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE AT SOME POINT IN DECEMBER.

WE WILL DO THAT OTHERWISE WE WILL ROLL IT TO GET MORE PARTS PATIENT.

WE WILL ALSO WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND TRY TO DO IT BY CITY.

WE HAVE A LIST OF OUTREACH THAT WE ARE USING WITH PUBLIC AFFAIRS SO WE WILL ALSO UTILIZE THIS FOR ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION.

>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

I THINK WE CAN BEGIN GATHERING INPUT ON WHAT OUR COMMUNITY DEFINES AS THE COMMUNITY OF INTEREST ASSUMING WE HAVE OUR OUTREACH LINDA.

ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT, I WILL MOVE TO ITEM 2.03 AND THIS IS THE STUDENT DATA THAT WAS PRESENTED AT THE 2021 22 CONVOCATION.

>> GOT IT.

THANK YOU.

AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD, I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU SOME DATA.

I THINK THAT WE SAW A LITTLE BIT OF SOME OF THE DATA THAT WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE LEAGUE BUT THE DATA I PRESENTED WAS AT THE STATE LEVEL HOWEVER, WE ARE USING THE SAME TYPE OF APPROACH FOR THE DATA ON CAMPUS AS WE TRY TO WORK WITH THE LONG-TERM RE-ATTAINMENT AND CLOSING OF THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP.

I WOULD LIKE TO PREFACE THIS BY SAYING WE HAVE BEEN DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS INCREASING OUR GRADUATION RATES AND INCREASING OUR AWARDS AND DOUBLING BASICALLY THE NUMBER OF DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES THAT WE HAD AWARDED SINCE 2015 AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THAT PRESENCE AS WE HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS.

THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE AND WE ARE CLEARLY RECOGNIZING THAT WORK AND CONTINUE TO RECORD HIGHS THE WORK WE ARE DOING BUT WANT TO THANK EVERYONE AT WE HAVE BEEN DOING THAT HEAVY LIFTING BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN HEAVY AND A LOT OF US HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS.

WHEN YOU SEE THESE NUMBERS I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE SAD BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY LOOK BUT I WANT US TO LOOK AT HOW WE ENGAGE OR CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN THIS PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO CLOSE THE EDUCATION GAP.

THIS IS NOT A WAY TO SAY THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK BUT AS WE DO WORK IN THESE AREAS THERE IS SOME THINGS THAT WE COULD WORK ON.

WHAT WE DO KNOW IS WE LOOK AT WHAT IS KNOWN AS A MOMENTUM POINT AND THE SHOULD BE AT LEADING INDICATORS.

THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CHECK ON OUR STUDENTS IN A TIMELY FASHION WHEN THERE IS STILL TIME FOR US TO HELP THEM DO BETTER.

THE THINGS THAT WE DO ON CAMPUS ARE SCALABLE.

TAKING SURE THAT THOSE SERVICES DO NOT STATE ON A SMALL SCALE BUT WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THEM BIG ENOUGH THAT ALL THE STUDENTS ON OUR CAMPUS BETTER.

WE HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF OUR STUDENTS AND FOR THE STUDENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY CAPABLE THEY ARE SMART AND THEY CAN DO THEIR WORK.

WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT LOWERING THE REQUIREMENT WERE NOT TALKING ABOUT LOWERING, OR TALKING ABOUT HAVING HIGH STANDARDS AND HIGH LEVEL OF SUPPORT.

RIGHT? WE CANNOT HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS WITHOUT THE SUCCESS OF THE STUDENTS.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MEETING THE STUDENTS WHERE THEY ARE AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING THIS OR THAT THEY NEED.

BECAUSE, I DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE YOU BUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS WANT TO DO BETTER AND ARE CAPABLE OF DOING BETTER.

WE ARE BEING TRANSPARENT ABOUT PERFORMANCE.

I HAVE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS.

WE HAVE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS IN WHICH WE HAVE SHOWN YOU DATA THAT IS NOT THE MOST FLATTERING DATA.

HOWEVER, YOU BEEN INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE FOR US TO GO BACK AND TAKE THINGS BETTER AND IMPROVE OUR SERVICES FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WE CAN BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE CONVERSATION AND EVERY CONVERSATION WE HAVE IN EVERY PIECE OF DATA WE HAVE SHOWED YOU NEEDS TO BE AN AWARD OR FLASHY BUT WE ALWAYS DO GREAT BECAUSE YES WE DO GREAT WORK BUT THERE'S ALSO WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED AND THIS IS THE CONVERSATION TAKING PLACE.

THE LAST PART OF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO REPEAT AND IT IS CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

WE NEED TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS TO FIND OUT WHO IS NOT DOING WHAT OR POINT A FINGER.

NEED TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION TO ENSURE WE KNOW WHAT IS WORKING THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT WORKING AND MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE THE SUPPORT NEEDED TO MAKE THEM BETTER.

SO, WE HAVE DONE SOME WORK ON WHAT WE HAVE KNOWN AS THE LCT.

THESE ARE THE AREAS ON CAMPUS THAT ARE GOING TO ALLOW TO PLACE STUDENTS IN GROUPS THAT ARE RELATED TO THEIR PREFERRED FIELD OF STUDY.

WE HAVE TROUBLES WHEN WE HELP STUDENTS SECURITY MAJOR WHEN THEY COME IN BUT WE CAN HAVE AN AREA OF INTEREST WE CAN IMMEDIATELY PLACE THEM IN CLASSES THAT ARE GOING TO COUNT FOR MOST MAJORS THAT ARE WITHIN THOSE LEARNING PATHWAYS SO ESSENTIALLY THE GUIDED PATHWAY MODEL WOULD BE SECURE.

THE GOAL FOR THIS IS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS DO NOT LOSE CREDIT IF THEY DECIDE TO SWITCH MAJORS.

AND IF THEY LOSE CREDIT IT'S JUST A MINIMUM NUMBER OF THOSE.

WE HAVE DONE SIGNIFICANT WORK WITH STUDENT SERVICES TO ENSURE THAT THESE ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND THE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN TOUGH THEY HAVE COME TOGETHER AND ESSENTIALLY HAVE A MODEL THAT THIS POINT IS OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE TO BRING TO YOUR STUDENTS.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO MY STUDENT AND SAY, WHAT LCP DO BELONG TO AND 9/10 TIMES I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET AN ANSWER AND STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW WHERE THEY ARE PLACED.

IT IS NOT A PERFECT THRESHOLD BUT IT IS WHERE WE ARE AIMING.

SO, IN RELATION TO THIS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TO BEGIN TO ACTIVELY MONITOR MOMENTUM POINTS.

THEY ARE BACKED BY RESEARCH AND DATA OVER SEVERAL YEARS THAT COULD LET US KNOW WHETHER OR NOT STUDENTS ARE GOING TO GRADUATE AND WHETHER OR NOT STUDENTS ARE GOING TO GRADUATE ON TIME.

WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT HAVE ATTEMPTED THESE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TERMS WITH TRANSFERABLE UNITS OVER THE FIRST YEAR.

FOREIGN ASSOCIATE DEGREE IS ROUGHLY 55 MAYBE 70 UNITS.

AROUND 66 UNITS WHICH MEANS THE LENGTH OF AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE IS ROUGHLY 2 YEARS.

SO, WE KNOW HOW THE STUDENTS COMPLETED.

THIS COULD BE THE FIRST YEAR AND WE CAN RIDE AWAY NO BUT THAT STUDENT IS NOT GOING TO GRADUATE ON TIME.

SO IF WE KNOW THAT THE FIRST SEMESTER WITH AN INCOMING STUDENT WHO ONLY TOOK SIX UNITS AND WE DO NOT REACH OUT TO THAT STUDENT LINO THAT STUDENT ALREADY IS AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEHIND.

AT LEAST.

BUT IS LIKELY A YEAR BEHIND ALREADY ON THEIR FIRST SEMESTER.

THEN THE STUDENTS NEED TO TAKE MATH BASICALLY THE FIRST YEAR.

WHY? THE LONGER WE DELAY TAKING MATHEMATICS THE LESS LIKELY THEY ARE TO GRADUATE.

YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT IS A FEAR FOR SOME STUDENTS TO TAKE MATH THAT FIRST YEAR, HOWEVER, IF WE PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GRADUATE THEM ON TIME AND

[04:05:02]

IN FACT, THE EFFORT HAS BEEN SO BIG THAT WE HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS PASSING THAT MATH CLASS IN THEIR FIRST YEAR BY 382 PERCENT.

THAT SEEMS LIKE A REALLY GOOD NUMBER BUT REMEMBER, WE HAD A VERY LOW PASSING RATE.

BUT WE STILL HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO AND SO I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE MATH FACULTY FOR ALL THE WORK THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

NOW, BETWEEN THIS THE STUDENTS WILL NOT COME BACK A YEAR FROM FALL TO FALL AND THAT MEANS THEY ARE LIKELY NOT RETURNING.

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RELATIVELY HIGH NUMBERS OF RETENTION WE NEED TO MONITOR THOSE BECAUSE THERE WAS A PANDEMIC AND PRIOR TO THAT HAVE SEEN DECLINE IN THOSE NUMBERS.

SO, WE CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE MOMENTUM POINT.

THOSE CAN BE SEEN ON THE CERRITOS COLLEGE - WARD AND IF YOU LET ME KNOW I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU ACCESS TO THE DASHBOARD AND MOMENTUM POINTS AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE SEE WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD AND IF ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE HAD I WOULD BE SURE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE ACCESS TO THOSE DASHBOARDS.

WE HAVE DONE IS, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT IT IS A HIGH POINT INSTITUTION AND WE ARE BENCHMARKING ALL OF THESE POINTS WITHOUT THE INSTITUTIONS PAIRED WE ARE NO LONGER BENCHMARKING MOMENTO POINT WITH INSTITUTIONS.

WE ARE BENCHMARKING WITH THE TOP INSTITUTIONS IN THE NATION.

NOW, WE WANT TO CELEBRATE SUCCESS.

I HAVE TOLD THIS STORY A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE TO PUT THAT PICTURE THERE JUST BECAUSE I LOOK GREAT AND BECAUSE OF THE STORY BEHIND THAT.

THE PICK SURE IS OF THIS PAST YEAR.

IF YOU LOOK, THERE ARE FOUR GENERATIONS THERE.

THE FIRST GENERATION GRADUATE RIGHT THERE, MOM, AND MOTHER AND THIS LITTLE GIRL RIGHT HERE THE DAUGHTER OF OUR STUDENT.

THAT LITTLE GIRL DOES NOT KNOW JUST YET HOW GRADUATION FROM HER MOTHER CHANGED HER FUTURE.

THE KIDS THAT COME FROM PARENTS THAT HAVE ACHIEVED IF COLLEGE DEGREE HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE OF GOING COLLEGE AND NOT JUST THAT THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF GRADUATION.

WHY DO I LIKE IT SO MUCH? BECAUSE THAT WAS ME AT SOME POINT.

I WAS THE FIRST OF MY FAMILY TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE.

I KNEW EVEN BEFORE I WAS BORN WHEN MY GRANDFATHER HAD GRADUATED FOR THE FIRST TIME I FUTURE HAD ALREADY CHANGED.

BECAUSE NOW WHAT THEY CALL COLLEGE GOING FAMILIES.

BUT WE KNOW THAT FOR SOME OF THE STUDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY THEY'RE NOT JUST CHANGING THE LIVES OF THOSE STUDENT BUT POTENTIALLY INFLUENCING THE FUTURE OF OTHER FAMILIES.

SO AS I SAID BEFORE WE HAVE SEEN INCREASES, ON THE COMPLETION OF MATHEMATICS IN THE FIRST YEAR AND RIGHT HERE YOU CAN SEE WE WERE ABOUT 4.2 PERCENT AND NOW WE HAVE ROUGHLY 24 PERCENT.

ENGLISH IS BETTER THAN 24.6 PERCENT AND WE HAD 42.6 PERCENT.

THAT STILL LEAVES ROOM FOR US TO GROW.

BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE.

THE NUMBERS OF AWARDS, WE HAVE INCREASED 86 PERCENT FROM 2015 TO 2021.

AT SOME POINT THE HIGHEST HAS BEEN 5078 DEGREES WITH THESE AWARDS.

NOW, HERE IS WHERE WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO.

ON THE ASSOCIATE DEGREE THEY ARE BETWEEN 64 AND 66 HOURS AND MANY STUDENTS ARE RUNNING AWAY WITH 94 UNITS.

THE STATE AVERAGE IS 85 AND WE WILL HAVE DECREASED OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS FROM 99 UNIT AVERAGE TO A COMPLETION OF A DEGREE AND WE STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO 64, 66 UNIT THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE.

30 ADDITIONAL UNITS MEANS ONE MORE YEAR, ONE MORE YEAR.

LINO THAT STUDENTS HAVE TAKEN ROUGHLY 69 UNITS SO HERE, WE HAVE OFTEN TIMES THREE YEARS FROM GRADUATION.

THE FACT THAT GRADUATION IS 5.5 YEARS.

REMEMBER, FOREIGN ASSOCIATE DEGREE SHOULD BE TWO YEARS.

PARTICULARLY, I WILL PROBABLY PUT ON MY HEADSTONE OR WHATEVER IS WE CANNOT NORMALIZE ASSOCIATE DEGREES AND GRADUATIONS AS SIX-YEAR AND THREE-YEAR MARKS.

UNFORTUNATELY WE REPORT GRADUATION ON ASSOCIATE DEGREES AT SIX YEARS AND WE CALL THAT 200 PERCENT OF THE TIME OF THREE YEARS AND WE CALL THAT 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME.

AN ASSOCIATE DEGREES TWO YEARS THAT IS 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME THREE YEARS WOULD BE ONE OF 15 PERCENT OF THE TIME IN FOUR YEARS SHOULD BE 200 PERCENT OF THE TIME.

THE LONGER WE CONTINUE IS SIX YEARS AND OKAY TIME FOR PEOPLE TO GRADUATE FOREIGN ASSOCIATE DEGREE IT WILL HARDLY BE ABLE FOR US TO CHANGE THOSE NUMBERS.

CRACKS I DEFINITELY AGREE AND WHAT IS EXCITING TO ME IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEBODY WHO HAS A LOT OF INTEREST IN LIFE AND IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO GET THROUGH THE WORST WORK AND SOMEONE WHO IS TAKING 150 PERCENT OF WHAT THEY NEED TO TAKE AT CERRITOS TO GET WHAT THEY CAME FOR.

WHAT IS DRIVING THE NUMBERS WHEN IT COMES TO POTENTIALLY 30 UNITS MORE THAN WHAT WE ACTUALLY NEED FOR FOLKS TO GRADUATE?

>> THAT IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.

WHAT IS DRIVING THOSE NUMBERS? PART OF THAT WAS SOME OF THE CLASSES AND WE HAVE ALSO STREAMLINED SOME OF OUR PREREQUISITES FOR WHEN WE CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF HOURS WE FORGET THAT WE HAD BARRIERS PRIOR TO THAT AND BEFORE SHE I SAY I TAKE MY FIRST MAJOR CLASS I HAVE TO TAKE A NUMBER OF PREREQUISITES AND A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS HAVE DONE A LOT OF THAT WORK TO STREAMLINE THOSE PROCESSES.

MANY TIMES WE HAVE BARRIERS AND AS WE LOOK CLOSER THE FACULTY HAS BEEN DOING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT THE OTHER PART IS THE CAN HEATING INTEREST PAIRED WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS AND HOW WE OFFER CLASSES AND HOW WE DELIVER THOSE CLASSES.

I THINK COVE IT GAVE US A PERFECT EXAMPLE TO SEE A SCHEDULE THAT HAS MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR STUDENT AND THAT COULD BE THE WAY OF THE FUTURE.

HAVING SHORTER SESSIONS COULD DIGITALLY HAVE 15 UNITS OR 12 UNITS IN A YEAR WOULD BE THE SCHEDULE EIGHT WEEKS, EIGHT WEEKS AND SOME FACULTY HAD BEEN DOING THAT FOR INSTANCE FOR THE BUSINESS PROGRAM AND IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL THROUGH THAT AND RIGHT NOW OUR BUSINESS PROGRAM IS A TOP BURNER AND MOST OF THE STUDENTS ARE ACTUALLY WORKING ON THOSE AS MORE AND MORE APARTMENTS CONTINUE TO MODEL THESE ITEMS I ANTICIPATE BEING THE NUMBERS.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION.

HE MENTIONED THE BUSINESSES ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL, ARE THEY TAKING THE CAPITALIST ROUTE OR STATISTICS ROUTE?

>> I WOULD SAY, HELP ME, THAT COULD BE A MULTIPLE ANSWER.

>> NO CALCULUS, THEY ARE TAKING THE OTHER ROUTES.

>> THAT IS THE KEY.

>> IT IS ONE OF THE KEYS.

>> THAT IS CHEAPER.

AND I WILL SAVE MY COMMENTS FOR LATER BUT THAT COULD BE THE KEY IT IS MATH.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS GRAPH RIGHT HERE.

IT IS 100 STUDENTS.

CERRITOS COLLEGE STUDENTS COME IN IN 2016 AND WE TOOK A TIME MACHINE AND WE ARE LOOKING AT ONE OF STUDENTS BRING IT BACK IN 2016.

ONLY NINE OUT OF 100 STUDENTS THAT CAME IN IN 2016 GRADUATED ON TIME.

9/100 GRADUATED IN 2018 FROM THOSE THAT CAME IN IN 2016.

THEN, WE LOOK AGAIN IN 2018 AND WE HAVE ACTUATED 26 OF THEM.

THEN, WE GO BACK AND WE SEE 27/100.

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE GOTTEN BETTER THERE STILL A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE.

RIGHT HERE WE CAN SEE THE STUDENTS GRADUATING THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

IN 2009 WE HAD GRADUATED AT LEAST 50 PERCENT MORE THAN WHAT WE ARE GRADUATING IN THE PAST.

THERE STILL ONLY NINE OUT OF 100 STUDENTS.

THEN WE GET TO THE TWO-YEAR MARK WHAT WE LIKE TO CALL ONE OF 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME WE'VE GRADUATED 26/100 AND IT'S 11 PERCENT MORE THAN WHAT WE STARTED WITH AND THEN WE GET TO THE FOUR YEAR MARK AND WE HAVE ABOUT 37 PERCENT OR 37 STUDENTS OUT OF 100.

AND THAT IS FOUR YEARS.

IF WE KEPT LOOKING THE NUMBERS GET BETTER.

THEY THINK AROUND 39 PERCENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND THAT MEANS IS 60 PERCENT OF THE STUDENTS THAT WE ARE STILL TRACKING AFTER THE SIX YEAR MARK.

KEN, I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE SHOULD NOT, WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO LOOK AND HELP OUR STUDENTS BUT WE SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT THE STUDENTS TAKING LONGER THAN THE FOUR YEAR MARK 200 PERCENT OF THE TIME PAID WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO INCREASE THE NUMBERS RIGHT HERE AND DECREASE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE NUMBERS BEYOND FOR YOUR MARK.

>> I THINK WE AGREE ON THAT.

THE CONFUSING PART TO ME IS WHY IS IT SO HARD, THE STUDENTS DON'T WANT TO BE HERE FOREVER AND WHY IS IT SO HARD TO CONNECT THE DOTS.

IF IT'S A TWO-YEAR DEGREE WHY DOES IT TAKE LONGER THAN TWO YEARS?

>> I COULD ANSWER THAT BECAUSE OF A STUDENT MYSELF BUT PART OF IT IS WHAT THEY EXPECT WHEN THEY COME IN AND THEN MAYBE THEY CHANGE MAJORS AND YOU HAVE A VARIETY OF PEOPLE TELLING THEM DIFFERENT INFORMATION IN TERMS OF TAKE THIS CLASS OR TAKE A CLASS AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT THE STUDENTS, THAT'S WHY WE GET SO MANY UNITS.

TELLING YOU THIS FROM EXPERIENCE ONE COUNSELOR WILL TELL YOU ONE THING AND ANOTHER COUNSELOR WILL TELL YOU ANOTHER THING.

AND IF YOU GO TO THE DEPARTMENT THEY WILL TELL YOU SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND AS A STUDENT YOU LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE THEN I AM THINKING ABOUT MY DIRECTION I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE I TRUSTED TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

>> AND YES TO THAT POINT BUT IT CAN'T 90 PERCENT OR STUDENTS ARE CAN BUT TWO THIRDS OF OUR STUDENTS, THAT IS PART OF THE SCHEDULING THE OTHER PART HAS TO DO WITH SCHEDULING TO TRY TO GET THE CLASSES, TRYING TO FIT THEM INTO YOUR SCHEDULE.

I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT I WAS GOING TO THREE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO GET THE COURSES THAT I NEEDED.

THAT IS VERY TYPICAL ACTUALLY.

I WISH I COULD TELL YOU IT'S NOT BUT IT IS.

GIVE MOST OF THE STUDENTS TO GOGOING TO AT LEAST TWO COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO TRY TO GET A CLASS THAT THEY NEED.

SO, IT IS CHALLENGING.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE STATE OR TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESSES AND ONE OF THE NEW THINGS IS TO ALLOW THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH NOT ONLY CAL STATE THOSE THAT WE HAVE AGREEMENTS WITH AND TRANSFER STUDENT IN THE UC'S SHOULD HAVE A COMBINED PROCESS WHICH ALL OF OUR STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON.

I THINK THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF THESE ASSOCIATE DEGREES IN PLACE BECAUSE IT JUST DEPENDED ON WHAT SCHOOL YOU WENT TO.

I THINK IF WE LOOK AT THE UC AND PARTICULARLY OUR PRIVATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES,

[04:10:01]

SO YES, THERE IS A VARIETY OF REASONS AND I THINK AS I HAVE GONE ON THE BOARD I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THOSE COMMUNITY CLASSES AND WE ARE COMPETING WITH THE FOR-PROFIT WERE THINKING WHY IS IT WORKING FOR THEM AND NOT FOR US RIGHT? EVERY TIME IT HERE ABOUT ONE OF OUR LOCAL RESIDENTS PAYING $35,000 TO TAKE A CLASS TO BECOME A MEDICAL ASSISTANT, TIMMY THAT IS JUST OFFERING THOSE COURSES AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE EVEN AT OUR LOCAL ADULT SCHOOLS AND IS NOT THERE STUDENTS DON'T WANT TO DO THE CLASS WORK IS JUST TAKING SO LONG TO GET THERE.

RIGHT? IN TERMS OF THE PROCESSES STREAMLINING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR THEM AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT DON'T WORK SHOULD HOPEFULLY HELP US, TO AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SO SUCCESSFUL IN THAT DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF EATING KIDS IN STUDENTS THROUGH THE PROCESS.

EVEN WITH THE STATISTICS CLASS AND WE'VE GOT MORE SUPPORT AND WERE ABLE TO GET OUR STUDENTS THROUGH THOSE COURSES AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE THAT SUPPORT SYSTEM.

I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT FOR A LONG TIME THEM TIRED OF HEARING MYSELF BUT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DOING WHAT THE FOR-PROFIT SCHOOLS ARE DOING WHICH IS TAKING ONE CLASS AT A TIME AND ONLY FOCUS ON THAT ONE CLASS, RIGHT AND THEN REREGISTER FOR THE NEXT CLASS AND IT'S VERY SEQUENTIAL AND YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, WHAT TIME IS GOING TO HAPPEN SO IN TERMS OF THAT WE KNOW WHEN THE STUDENTS WILL MAXIMIZE WHAT WERE DOING AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES, THAT HAS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF STUDENTS BEING SUCCESSFUL AT TAKING THOSE SUMMER CLASSES BECAUSE ONE, THEY ARE SHORT AND THEY TAKE THAT AMOUNT OF TIME IN TERMS OF THE SCOPE OF THE SIX WEEKS OR FIVE WEEKS OR WHATEVER THAT IS AND WHEN IT GOES QUICK IT'S ONE CLASS AND THEY DO VERY WELL AND IT'S VERY FOCUSED.

>> DOCTOR WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD TO THAT?

>> YES, THERE ARE A FEW PIECES THAT I THINK THAT THERE ARE MANY YEARS WHERE THERE IS AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAS MAJORED IN SIX YEAR INTERVALS WHO HAVE MADE IT OKAY FOR ALL OF US TO ARRANGE A SCHEDULE AND ADVISE IN SUCH A WAY THAT HAS LED TO THE CONCEPT OF COME TO THE COLLEGE AND TAKE AS MANY CLASSES AS YOU WANT UNTIL YOU FIND WHAT YOU WANT AND THEN WHEN YOU FIND WHAT YOU WANT YOU CAN DO THAT CREW TRACK AND OBVIOUSLY THAT TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND WE GO BY THE RESEARCH AND LOOKING AT THE PRACTICES OF THE IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITIES FOR INSTANCE WHEN YOU'RE COMMITTED THAT IS THE SCHEDULE YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE AND THOSE ARE HIGH-PERFORMANCE STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALL KINDS OF SUPPORT ALREADY AND WE GIVE THEM A VERY SET SCHEDULE TO GO IN.

I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD IGNORE THAT TYPE OF PRACTICE WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE STUDENTS THAT NEED THE GUIDANCE AND WE HAVE THE ANSWERS FOR THEIR QUESTIONS.

AND SO, THERE IS A LADY WHO USUALLY SAYS THAT 'S ARE NOT OPTIONAL AND SHE GOT THAT FROM INTERVIEWING STUDENTS AND TALKING WITH THE STUDENTS AND AT SOME POINT THE STUDENT SAID AND SHE PRESENTED THAT AT THE INTERVIEW AND IT MADE US LAUGH BUT IT WAS NOT FUNNY SHE SAID WELL, THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING.

WE KNEW ALL OF THIS TO BEGIN WITH AND THE STUDENT ANSWERS WAS IF ALL OF YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HELP ME WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME AND WHY DON'T YOU MAKE ME DO IT? I CLEARLY DON'T KNOW AND I THINK SOMETIMES THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE FALLEN SHORT.

WE ARE NOT BEING INTENTIONAL WITH THOSE STUDENTS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF THOSE PIECES WITH WORK TO DO AND PART OF THAT WORK AND PART OF THE CORRECTION OF THAT MODEL IS A NEW ADVISING MODEL THAT WE BEEN WORKING ON WITH DOCTOR HOYT AND WE ARE HOPING THAT THAT WILL GIVE US SOME TRACTION MOVING FORWARD.

WE ARE MOVING FROM DIFFERENT GROUPS OF STUDENTS THAT ARE BEING TOLD THIS IS WHAT YOU DO AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR GRADUATION RATES AND PERFORMANCE AND WE ARE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO NEARER SOMEONE ACROSS THE CAMPUS.

IN TERMS OF THE GRADUATION THIS IS A FILE OF A TYPICAL STUDENT AT CERRITOS COLLEGE.

EITHER FROM HIGH SCHOOL, THEY ARE 24 YEARS OF AGE AND THEY TAKE ABOUT 95 UNIT FOR A DEGREE AND GO ABOUT 30 EXTRA UNIT.

THEY ONLY TAKE ABOUT NINE UNIT AT CERRITOS COLLEGE SO POTENTIALLY ALMOST 6 YEARS.

THEY TAKE 1.5 YEARS FOR EACH CLASS AND WE ARE NOT MAKING THEM TAKE THOSE CLASSES IN THE FIRST YEAR EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW IT IS BEST FOR THEM SO THEY WAIT THREE YEARS TO TAKE THEIR FIRST NEEDED CLASS AND WE KNOW THAT IS NOT GOOD.

IN FACT WE KNOW THE THE LONGER THEY PUT THOSE CLASSES OFF IS LESS LIKELY FOR THEM TO GRADUATE.

SO, THE AVERAGE COMPLETION IS 5.6 YEARS AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A TWO-YEAR DEGREE.

>> THIS PATHWAY LOOKS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE BEEN SEEING FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS AND HAS ANYTHING CHANGED OR IMPROVED? BECAUSE.

>> THIS IS THE OLD WAY.

>> ASSESS 2021.

>> AGAIN, WE ARE LOOKING AT EXTERIOR GOALS.

THESE ARE STUDENTS THAT WE GOT IN 2016.

SO WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE OTHER STUDENTS? THEY ARE ACCUMULATING CREDITS AND THEY HAVE DIFFICULTIES SELECTING A MAJOR AND UNTIL RECENTLY WE DID NOT FORCE THEM OR ENCOURAGE THEM TO GET ONE AND NOW WE ARE PUTTING THEM INTO BUCKETS OF KNOWLEDGE AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP US A LITTLE BIT AND MANY STUDENTS ARE SEEING THOSE IN THE TIME IS GETTING SMALLER.

WE ALSO KNOW HOW TO PROVIDE THAT HELP.

SO WHAT IS OUR JOB? TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS THAT DON'T SEEM POSSIBLE ACTUALLY BECOME POSSIBLE.

AND GOING TO SHOW YOU THREE GROUPS.

WE HAVE CERRITOS COLLEGE AND TOPS AND PUENTE AND YOU CAN SEE PROGRAMS USUALLY HAVE A HIGHER RETENTION RATE THEN THE GENERAL POPULATION OF CERRITOS COLLEGE APPEARED WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE TALK ABOUT MORE ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT STUDENTS WHICH WE ALSO KNOW HELPS THEM SUCCEED.

WHEN WE LOOK AT WHEN WE LOOK AT COMPLETION OF THE TRANSFER OF MATH AND ENGLISH AND CERRITOS COLLEGE, UMOJA, EOPS AND PUENTE, WHAT IS CHANGING THERE, IT IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.

THIS IS HIGH TOUCH ENSURING THAT THE STUDENTS ARE FALLING THEIR EDUCATIONAL PATH AND ENSURING THE STUDENTS ARE TAKING MATH AND ENGLISH THEIR FIRST YEAR AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY STAY ON TRACK FOR THE ON-TIME COMPLETION.

THE NUMBERS FOR INSTANCE ON PUENTE VERSUS CERRITOS COLLEGE AS YOU CAN SEE ARE TWICE AS HIGH YOU TALK ABOUT MATH AND ENGLISH IN THE FIRST YEAR.

WHY? IT IS A REQUIREMENT.

THEY WANT TO BE IN THE PROGRAM AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.

THE NUMBERS ARE NOT PROBLEM IF THEY WANT TO BE IN A PROGRAM THEN THAT IS WHAT THEY TAKE.

SO WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH CERRITOS COMPLETE AND CERRITOS COLLEGE? AS YOU SEE HERE, WE PULLED OTHER STUDENTS.

THE YELLOW LINE THAT YOU SEE IS AS MANY STUDENTS THAT WE ENROLL INTO CERRITOS COMPLETE AND AS MANY STUDENTS THAT WE ENROLL TOTAL AT CERRITOS COLLEGE AND WE ARE ALMOST AT AS MANY STUDENTS ENROLLED IN CERRITOS COMPLETE AND AT CERRITOS COLLEGE.

>> CAN I ASK A QUESTION ON THAT LEVEL, OR THESE INCOMING FRESHMAN ARE THESE CERRITOS COMPLETE STUDENTS WHAT ABOUT THE TWO THIRDS? HAVE THEY BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR CERRITOS COMPLETE OR ARE THESE STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT COMING FROM PRIOR DISTRICTS?

>> EVERYONE THAT IS A FIRST-TIME STUDENT IS ELIGIBLE SO SOME OF THEM MIGHT NOT HAVE APPLIED TO THE PROGRAM AND SOME MIGHT COMING OUT OF THE DISTRICT AND SOME MIGHT BE RETURNING STUDENTS.

THESE COULD BE STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING FROM OUR LOCAL AREA.

>> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I DON'T THINK I FOLLOWED.

>> THESE ARE FIRST-TIME STUDENTS.

AND THESE ARE CERRITOS COMPLETED STUDENTS IN OUR LOCAL INSTITUTIONS AND HAVE TO APPLY TO GET INTO THE PROGRAM AND THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE WHOLE THING.

THERE ARE STUDENTS THERE WHO MIGHT FROM A LOCAL AREA BUT DID NOT FLY FOR THE PROGRAM OR THEY DID APPLY OR THEY ARE COMING FROM OUT OF AREA.

>> I THINK THAT IS WHAT I'M EATING AT.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REACH MORE AND AGAIN I AM GOING TO PERSONALIZE THIS AS A PARENT OF A STUDENT AT ONE OF OUR FEEDER HIGH SCHOOLS, IT DOESN'T DO ENOUGH AND I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD ON THAT THROUGH THE COUNSELORS WE HAVE AT EVERY SINGLE SITE BUT AGAIN WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PENETRATE MORE BECAUSE AS YOU MENTIONED THERE IS A SCHOOL TWO MILES FROM THE COLLEGE AND THIS IS A SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT WE ALL SERVE AND LIVE IN.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN DO MORE BUT THERE HAS TO BE MORE TIME IN YOU KNOW THE SUCCESS DATA, YOU WANT TO HOLD ONTO EVERYBODY AT CERRITOS BECAUSE THAT IS A LONG-TERM GOAL AND THAT MAKES SENSE.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW ANYTHING, TOO, THERE IS FRUSTRATION AND DR. FIERRO HAS SEEN A LOT OF FRUSTRATED STUDENTS AND PARENTS AS WE HAVE CERTAIN DEADLINES AND TIME FRAMES THAT ARE REQUIRED AND WE NEED TO ON OUR INS BUT PARENTS DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT, STUDENTS DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT AND THEY MISS A DEADLINE AND AGAIN, THEY FALL OUT.

SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CAPTURE THAT GROUP WHO DON'T MEET THE DEADLINE BECAUSE THEY WILL BRING MORE SUCCESSFUL.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT GROUP.

>> THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE STUDENTS THAT FIRST YEAR COMPARE TO THE POPULATION OF CERRITOS COLLEGE.

81 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ENROLLED IN CERRITOS COMPLETE IS HERE IN 2020 AND 2021 COMPLETED MATH AND ENGLISH IN THE FIRST YEAR VERSUS ONLY 17.8 FROM THE OTHER COLLEGE.

NOW, WE HAVE RECEIVED AN UPWARD TREND AND OBVIOUSLY WE CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE STRUCTURED A NEW PROGRAM AND THE STUDENTS DO BETTER FROM THE GET-GO.

AND IT IS ALSO TRUE INSTEAD OF THESE NUMBERS THAT I SHOWED YOU BEFORE.

THESE WILL BECOME A STRUCTURED PROGRAM AND WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON? THEY ARE ASKING TO TAKE THOSE TWO CLASSES TO BEGIN WITH, AND OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT.

HOW MANY AT DELAY STUDENTS ATTEND 15+ TRANSFERABLE UNIT? WE HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS 22 PERCENT IN THIS PAST YEAR, AND 19.9 PERCENT COMPARED TO 11 SO ESSENTIALLY TWICE AS MANY OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE BEEN ENROLLED IN A STRUCTURED PROGRAM LIKE CERRITOS COMPLETE ARE ABLE TO COMPLETE THOSE FIRST 15 UNITS AND THEIR CHANCES OF GRADUATING ON TIME INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER THAT FIRST STEP.

THEY INCREASE MORE ABOUT 2.5 FOLD AND THAT IS WITH MATH AND ENGLISH THAT FIRST YEAR.

>> I THINK THE POINT YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE IS USING THE COLLEGE AND PART OF A CONTROL GROUP INSTEAD OF AN EXPERIMENTAL GROUP.

THIS CONTROL GROUP IS ONLY AS SUCCESSFUL AS FOLLOWING A MORE STRUCTURED PROCESS.

YES? SO, PERSISTENCE.

AGAIN, ON CERRITOS COMPLETE AND WE HAD THE OTHER STRUCTURAL PROGRESS.

[04:15:01]

SO, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE BEHIND THE STUDENTS ENSURING THEY DO WELL.

AND THEN WE WILL ASK, IS IT THE SCHEDULE? YOU ALREADY SAW THAT WE HAVE ONE PART OF THE CLASS TO BE A FEW HUNDRED STUDENTS THAT ARE INCOMING OUT OF 20 OR MORE LPS AND OTHER STRUCTURED PROGRAMS. WE ARE EASILY TALKING ABOUT 2000 STUDENTS A YEAR THAT ARE THE SUCCESSFUL WHICH MEANS IT IS ALREADY AT SCALE AND THESE ARE ENTIRE COLLEGES THAT ARE 2000 STUDENTS.

WE HAVE ALREADY A SCALE OF THIS AMOUNT AND THIS IS A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS WITH STUDENT AFFAIRS AND AGAIN, HOW ARE WE GOING TO STRUCTURE THESE CONVERSATIONS? HAVE TO STRUCTURE THE SCHEDULE SO WE CAN REROUTE MORE STUDENTS THAT WAY TO CONVERSATIONS ON HOW WE ADVISE THOSE STUDENTS AND CONVERSATIONS ON HOW WE MONITOR THE DATA EVERY SEMESTER RATHER THAN JUST EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS.

THE KEY TO DOING THE MOMENTUM POINTS IS TO LEAD AND EVERY YEAR AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT OUR INCOMING CLASS AND DETERMINED HOW MANY OF THE STUDENTS MET THE BENCHMARK OF THOSE MOMENTO POINTS.

AND THEN WE GO AND REACH OUT TO THEM AND SAY HEY, HOW CAN WE GET BACK ON TRACK? I DO THINK IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO WAIT SIX YEARS TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE GRADUATED THEM ON TIME.

AT THAT POINT WE KNOW THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THE STUDENTS ARE ALREADY LATE AND MOST HAVE ALREADY LEFT AND WE MISSED OUT ON ASKING THEM HOW THEY DID IT.

SO WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED TO DO.

WE NEED TO MOVE FROM THE OTHER STUDENTS AND GET THEM READY FOR COLLEGE.

TWO, IS THE COLLEGE READY FOR THE STUDENT? I HATE TO SAY THAT BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I AM ALSO GETTING OLD.

SO IF THINGS ARE LOOKING THIS WAY TO MEET WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THINGS ARE LOOKING THIS WAY FOR THE STUDENTS.

HE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE COLLEGE IS READY FOR THEM WHEN THEY COME IN INSTEAD OF ASKING THEM IF THEY ARE READY FOR US BECAUSE WHAT WE DO, WHAT WE LIKE IN OUR PREFERENCES AND HOW HE WENT TO COLLEGE LOOKS INCREDIBLY ARCANE TO MOST OF THEM AS IT DID FOR US WHEN WE WENT TO COLLEGE.

THINGS WERE VERY DIFFERENT WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER.

NOW WE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO LOOK VERY DIFFERENT FOR STUDENTS.

WE WILL MOVE FROM WONDERING TO PURPOSEFUL PROGRESS INTO THE CURRICULUM OF THE MOMENTUM POINT SO WE CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE TO HAVE GOALS AND PHILOSOPHY TO ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO WANDER AROUND THE CURRICULUM TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE PAID WE SHOULD PROVIDE GUIDANCE BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT WORKS AND WE HAVE ALL DONE IT.

WE NEED TO WORK ON REFERRALS FOR OPTIONAL SERVICES AND REMOVE THAT FROM OUR VOCABULARY AND EMBED SERVICES AND ENSURE THAT WHERE WE PUT THEM THEY DO NOT MISS THE STUDENTS.

ESSENTIALLY WE HAVE TO BE INVASIVE AS TO HOW WE PROVIDE SERVICES FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WE NEED TO MOVE AWAY QUICKLY FROM ASSIGNMENT AND SCHEDULING TWO CLASSES AND SCHEDULE AROUND THE STUDENT, THEIR NEEDS AND THE SUPPORT.

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS OF IT HAS CORRUPTED THIS AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CURRICULUM IS THERE.

COULD IT HAS DISRUPTED US AND WE HAVE SEEN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

AGAIN, MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE STRUCTURED SERVICES AND AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE WE CAN DO BETTER WITH THE CONTROL GROUP OR THE STUDENTS THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE PROGRAM AND HALF TO PERFORM.[INDISCERNABLE] I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS SO I DON'T KEEP SOUNDING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.

>> DR. FIERRO, GOING BACK TO THE MAJOR CONCERN THAT WE HAVE ABOUT THE 90+ UNITS THAT ARE TAKEN BY THE AVERAGE STUDENTS HERE IN THE FOUR YEARS IT TAKES TO DO IT, THE TRUSTEE MENTIONED THAT THE FACTORS THAT HAPPEN ACROSS THE STATE IN THE NATION BUT WE HAVE ANY DATA SPECIFICALLY TO KNOW WHAT ONE PARTICULAR FACT OR OR SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES IS MOST PREVALENT THAT WE CAN FOCUS OUR RESOURCES ON TO ALLEVIATE THAT?

[LAUGHTER] >> I DID NARROW IT TO A SINGLE ITEM AND IT'S PROBABLY NOT NECESSARILY POSSIBLE BUT I THINK THE BIGGEST FACTOR THAT HAS HELPED US ON ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN 8705 BECAUSE WE HAD LAYER AFTER LAYER PRIOR TO THAT AND WE ARE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF CREDIT AND AFTER WE DID THAT WE STARTED LOOKING AT OTHER CURRICULUMS AND WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT WE HAVE SOME WITH THE PREREQUISITE AND IF WE ARE TAKING ORGANIC CHEMISTRY THEY HAVE TO TAKE CHEMISTRY ONE AND CHEMISTRY TWO AND IN SOME CASES THAT IS A LEGITIMATE ROUTE AND WE NEED TO POINT THEM OUT AND THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT.

AND THE OTHER THING IS WE NEED TO COORDINATE ON MOVING THOSE.

THE BIGGEST FACTOR WAS THOSE CLASSES.

>> DO WE HAVE ANY DATA FROM THE STUDENTS INTO WE HAVE COUNSELORS ASKED THEM AT THE TIME TO SAY, WHAT HAS CAUSED YOU TO STAY THIS EXTRA YEAR MOVING FORWARD? HAS THIS CLASS CHANGED HER MIND OR DO YOU HAVE A WAY OF ATTEMPTING 15 UNITS PER SEMESTER? HAVE YOU DONE ANY QUESTIONS LIKE THAT?

>> I THINK WE ARE LEARNING A LOT OF THINGS.

I THINK WE UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OF THESE STUDENTS ARE FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS MANY OVER 24, PART OF THE WORK WE ARE DOING AND MANY OF THEM ARE FINANCIAL AID.

WE KNOW THAT MANY OF THOSE THINGS EXIST FOR STUDENTS AND FOR US WHAT WE HAVE STARTED TO TACKLE MORE AGGRESSIVELY IS THROUGH THE GUIDED PATHWAYS AND CAREER PATHWAYS AND PROGRAM MAPS ARE CRITICAL.

THAT IS THE SEQUENCE OF THE COURSE THAT YOU TAKE IF THEY ARE IN LINE TO A PARTICULAR SVP AND IN ADDITION TO THAT WHAT WE ARE DOING IS EVERY SINGLE STUDENT WILL HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION PLAN THE END OF THE SEMESTER SO ORIENTATION THEY GET ABBREVIATED FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER AND THEN THEY ARE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR ENTIRE TIME HERE.

AND IN ADDITION TO THEM GETTING COMMITTED AND NOT STAYING UNDECIDED FOR TOO LONG IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE STAYING ON THAT EDUCATION PLAN IF THEY SWITCH THAT ED PLAN THERE IS A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE SO THEY GET A NEW EDUCATION PLAN WHEN THEY CHANGE THEIR MAJOR BECAUSE I THINK WHAT HAS HAPPENED FOR STUDENTS IS THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ON A SEQUENCE SO AS THE OTHER TRUSTEES HAVE SAID THEY HAVE BEEN BOUNCING AROUND AS THEY BOUNCE THEIR MAJORS.

I FIRST GOT HERE THERE WAS A STUDY THAT WAS CONDUCTED THAT SAID STUDENTS WERE CHANGING THEIR MAJORS 8 TO 10 TIMES.

WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE STUDENTS WHO ARE LOCKED INTO AN LCP AND EVEN IF THEY CHANGE THEIR MAJOR THEY NEED MORE TIME.

SO, AS DR. FIERRO SAID IT'S A COMBINATION TO TAKE AWAY THEIR WHOLE TO WORK OFF-CAMPUS AND TO TRY TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES TO UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A PATHWAY TO THEM AND WE ARE SUPPORTING THEM FINANCIALLY WITH THEIR BASIC NEEDS AND THAT IF THEY SHIFT FROM THEIR MAJOR THEY HAVE A NEW PLAN READY.

>> AND I THINK FOR THOSE PREREQUISITES THAT ARE CHOSEN, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT BECOME A PART OF OUR SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE TO DIG PRETTY DEEP TO FIND AND THAT COULD POSSIBLY BURY THE STUDENTS ALTOGETHER AND SAVE THEM MANY MORE YEARS THEN THEY NEED TO.

IT COULD BE A TASK FORCE LEVEL OF ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO RESOLVE BEFORE THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR OCCURS BECAUSE HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THESE PATHS AND THEN COME TO FIND OUT HERE IS ANOTHER ROADBLOCK? HERE IS ANOTHER THING THEY NEED THAT MIGHT CAUSE THEM TO CHANGE THEIR MAJOR IN THE FIRST PLACE.

BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY ROADBLOCKS.

THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE THEIR TOP PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THOSE CLEAR PATHS AND THAT IS WHAT WE TALK ABOUT BUT FOR ALL OF THE SUCCESS THAT WE HAVE HAD OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS SINCE DR. FIERRO HAS ARRIVED IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH.

WE STILL HAVE THESE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE BOOKS FOR WAY TOO LONG AND IT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.

IDEALLY IF WE CAN BEFORE THE NEXT SEMESTER IF NOT CERTAINLY BY THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, THIS IS A VERY LONG YEAR AND THESE ARE STILL PERSISTENT ISSUES.

DONE THE GREAT WORK BUT A LOT HAS CHANGED IT REALLY SHOULD THAT CERRITOS COLLEGE AND UNFORTUNATELY OTHER COLLEGES HAVE DONE THIS JOB WITH STUDENTS IN THE PAST AND THEM GLAD THAT WE COULD WORK AS A BOARD TO REALLY SET THIS COLLEGE AND MANY OF OUR LOW INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE LOOKING TO US AND I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN TOLD A NUMBER OF TIMES THAT OTHER COLLEGES CALL US TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO BEST PRACTICES.

THE WORK IS BEING DONE BUT IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH.

I THINK THAT WE CAN TAKE YOU EVEN BIGGER CHANGE IN DIRECTION OVER THE NEXT YEAR AND I LOOK FORWARD TO REGULAR UPDATE.

THANK YOU.

>> WE AGREE WITH YOU TRUSTEE LEWIS AND UNDER THE GUIDED PATHWAYS WORK THEY HAVE PROGRAM MAPS FOR EVERY DISCIPLINE FOR FULL-TIME AND THEY ARE WORKING ON PROGRAM MAPS FOR PART-TIME AS WELL AND WE ARE TAKING SERIOUSLY THE DECREASE IN NUMBER OF UNITS FROM 95 TO 76 IS OUR VISION FOR SUCCESSFUL'S AND THE ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE IS TACKLING THAT READY AND WE UNDERSTAND AND WE HEAR YOU AND WE WANT TO HAVE A BETTER UPDATE, SOON.

>> FOLLOWING UP ON WHAT WAS SAID, WE ALL HAVE ACCESS TO PROGRAM EFFORT AT CERRITOS COLLEGE TO SEE THAT THESE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN DONE ACROSS THE CAMPUS AND IF YOU CLICK ON ANY OF THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN WE CAN LOOK AT MARKET DATA TO INFORM STUDENTS ON THE CAREER PATHWAYS AS WELL.

THAT IS ONE THING.

THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS TRUSTEE PEREZ YOU HAD ASKED EARLIER ABOUT CERRITOS COMPLETED STUDENTS.

HOW DO WE MORE AND HOW DO WE GET THE MESSAGE OUT? I'M GLAD THAT YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION BECAUSE WE JUST SENT OUT TO FAMILIES IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH INFORMATION ON HOW TO LET THE HOUSE IS NO PEER WHAT WE BEEN FINDING IS THAT STUDENTS THEMSELVES ARE HEARING FROM COUNSELORS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL OR THEIR LIAISONS AND WE'VE HEARD FROM FAMILIES THAT THE INFORMATION IS NOT GOING HOME TO THEM.

WE FOUND IS THAT WE HAVE STARTED ANOTHER CAMPAIGN TO REACH THE HOUSE ITSELF.

>> THAT IS GREAT.

AND THAT IS VERY POWERFUL.

TEENAGERS TELL PARENTS NOTHING.

MOST OF US CAN ATTEST TO THAT.

>> THE OTHER THING THAT STRIKES ME IS THE MAPS ARE VERY HELPFUL IN AS LONG AS STUDENT HAVE THEM AND ARE REALIZING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE USED ARE VERY HELPFUL.

[04:20:02]

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT PROCESS IS IN TERMS OF INCREASED ABILITY BUT IF YOU ARE IN A TWO-YEAR EXPERIENCE AT A COLLEGE, YOU ARE CHANGING YOUR MAJOR IN RESPONSE TO ONE OR TWO CLASSES AND SO, THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ABOUT HOW WE CAN GET PEOPLE ON BOARDED TO THE SPECIFIC MAJORS AND I REALLY LIKED YOUR IDEA IN TERMS OF GETTING THE MAJOR SO YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN ONE MAJOR AND ANOTHER AND FOR THE MOST PART IT MAKES UP COURSEWORK THAT IS THE SAME SO THERE IS VERY LITTLE LOSS IN THAT REGARD.

OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN SWITCH YOUR PROGRAM AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME ADVANTAGE BUT IT DOES MAKE SENSE IN TERMS OF THE.[INDISCERNABLE].

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE TRUSTEES? TRUSTEE PEREZ?

>> THANK YOU.

THE FIRST COMMENT IS I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE DR. FIERRO AND MY COLLEAGUES ABILITY TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS AND VERY TRANSPARENTLY AND ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WE MADE PROGRESS BUT WE DO HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

I THINK THAT'S VERY POWERFUL AND VERY PROUD TO SERVE WITH ALL OF YOU HERE BECAUSE I THINK THAT EACH OF US ARE DEDICATED TO SEEING OUR STUDENTS TO GET BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND WHEN I TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT OUR MEETINGS AND THEY SAY ISN'T YOUR MEETING DONE IN AN HOUR AND WE SAY OH NO WE HAVE PRESENTATIONS AND WE HAVE DATA THAT WE ALL QUESTION AND AGAIN, I THINK THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH EVERYBODY AT THE COLLEGE IS DEDICATED AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THAT.

I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACULTY AND STAFF WITH GREATLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS HERE AND I WANT TO GO BACK BECAUSE FOR US WE ARE GOING TO START OUR NIGHT THEATER ON THE BOARD AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW FAR ALONG WE HAVE BEEN COMMITTED TO THIS WORK AND THE DATA COULD NOT SHOW THE SUCCESS WE ARE MAKING WITHOUT COMMITMENT.

THE LAST THING THAT I WANTED TO SAY, IF WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT MATH, MATH HAS BEEN A NEMESIS IN OUR LIVES OR OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES OR FAMILY MEMBERS LIVES AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CRACK IT BUT IT IS STILL AN ISSUE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR STUDENTS, WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT A STUDENT TAKES THREE YEARS TO TAKE THEIR FIRST COLLEGE LEVEL MATH.

DON'T GETS BECAUSE THEY ARE WONDERING OR NOT SURE WHAT MAJOR THEY WANT, IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED, THEY ARE SCARED OF MATH AND WE KNOW THAT THE FEAR OF MATH STARTS AT A YOUNG AGE AND IT ONLY GETS HARDER AND HARDER AS MATH GETS MORE ADVANCED AND YOU START TO FALL BEHIND A VERY YOUNG AGE.

I BROUGHT THIS UP EARLIER BECAUSE I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS WITH OUR K-12 PARTNERS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO AS WE KNOW, EDUCATED OVER STUDENTS IN K-12 BECAUSE THEY BECOME OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS.

I THINK OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT GOING TO GIVE US ANY SHORT-TERM SUCCESS BUT REALLY A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT MATH, WE TEACH MATH AND ENCOURAGE MATH AS A CAREER.

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SPEND SOME TIME THINKING ABOUT THAT LONG-TERM.

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE PEREZ.

I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS AND AGAIN I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE ABILITY TO PRESENT THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE THIS IS NOT EASY.

I PERSON THE INFORMATION THAT IS NOT FLATTERING TO THE PUBLIC AND IS NOT EASY BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN OPEN TO LISTEN AND I AM OPEN TO PROVIDE IDEAS AND GIVE THE SPORT THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THE PROGRESS BECAUSE WE DON'T TALK ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG WILL NEVER GET IT FIXED AND THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE HAS BEEN MADE PARTIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS.

I ENCOURAGE YOUR COMMENTS FROM THE ADMINISTRATORS BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN MAKING THE PROGRESS AND WE HAVE A LOT OF EFFORT FROM EVERYONE AND IT IS A CHALLENGE.

WHEN WE WERE SPEAKING IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE LAST MEETING THAT I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND IN PERSON WITH OUR FACULTY AND I THINK IT WAS RIGHT BEFORE WE CLOSED FOR COVID AND WE HAVE HAD A SERIES OF MEETINGS AND IT WAS A VERY HARD CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND WE WERE SCRATCHING OUR HEADS.

WHAT WERE WE GOING TO DO AND I REMEMBER THAT WE BROUGHT SOME OF OUR BRAND-NEW DATA AND OUR BRAND-NEW DASHBOARDS THAT WE WERE BARELY FINISHING AND WE REFERRED TO THE MEETING THAT THE FACULTY WAS ABLE TO FOR THE FIRST TIME TO REALLY SHOW THEM VERY SPECIFIC DATA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO HER STUDENTS.

IT WAS LIKE BEING IN THE DARK AND THEN GIVING PEOPLE A FLASHLIGHT BECAUSE THEN AT THAT POINT OF THE CONVERSATION IT CHANGED DRAMATICALLY STARTED LOOKING AT THE DATA AND AT THAT POINT I DON'T THINK WE WERE INVITED TO THE MEETING ANY LONGER.[LAUGHTER] AND WE HAD A LOT OF WORK.

THE CURRICULUM HAD BEEN APPROVED THAT WAS GOING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAD IDENTIFIED WITH THAT DATA.

SO ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY THAT A LOT OF THIS WORK IS ONGOING AND TWO, IS TO TO US NOT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING BUT WE DID NOT HAVE A FLASHLIGHT TO BE ABLE TO POINT TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO SAY OH, HERE IT IS.

NOW WITH THE DASHBOARDS WE HAVE AND THE ACCESS TO THE DATA THAT WE HAVE, THIS MAKES IT A LOT EASIER TO FIND THE PROBLEMS. I SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT THE DASHBOARD AND EVERY TIME I FINISH IN HERE WHY ARE WE DOING THIS OR THAT IS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THERE AND NOW IT'S EASIER TO FIND THE ISSUES THAT WE HAD AND IT IS EASIER TO CORRECT THEM AND I THINK THAT IS A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE.

I WANT TO THANK TRUSTEE AVALOS FOR THE DASHBOARDS AND THE WORK THEY ARE DOING THE PRESENTATION FOR US AND FOR SHOWING THAT YOU WANTED TO LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD AND YOU WANT ACCESS TO IT AND LATER ON WE WILL GET YOU IN IT AND WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO USE THAT FOR THE DATA AND FOR LISTENING AND BECAUSE I BOTHER HIM ALL THE TIME WITH THIS DATA.

SO, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

WE ARE PROUD OF THE WORK THEY ARE DOING AND OBVIOUSLY THE IDEA IS TO GET BETTER AND WE PROMISE YOU WE WILL BRING YOU MORE DATA AS THERE ARE A LOT MORE ISSUES TO DISCUSS.

>> IT'S MUCH APPRECIATED.

I THINK YOU RAISE A REALLY GOOD POINT.

WITH ALL OF THE DATA AND SUCCESS THAT WAS THERE, WE HAD TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE IS ROOM TO GROW AND WE JOIN YOU IN THAT AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE LAST THREE, FOUR OR FIVE YEARS THERE IS A DEEPER INSTITUTION TO MAKE THAT PROGRESS AND THAT IS A PRODUCT WITH A LOT OF WORK IN THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS ARE POINTING OUT ANOTHER PIECE TO WORK ON THAT IS GREAT AND THE GOAL IS RIGHT, YOU HAVE A VERY WELL-BALANCED SET OF CRITERIA AROUND WHICH WE MEASURE, SO THANK YOU GUYS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT.

NOW WE ARE GOING TO THE PRESENTATION FROM VICE PRESIDENT LOPEZ ON BOND MEASURE CC AND G.

>> GOOD EVENING BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

TODAY I'M GOING OVER PART OF OUR PROCESS OF PROVIDING INFORMATION TO THE BOARD REGARDING THE BONDS AND THE NEXT STEPS ON THE POTENTIAL BOND MEASURE THAT WE ADDED TO OUR NOVEMBER 22 BOND ELECTION.

HERE, I PUT TOGETHER A PRESENTATION AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO I PROVIDED AN UP DATE REGARDING THE TAX IMPLEMENTATION FOR TAX EFFECT THE BOND HAD ON BOTH MEASURE CC, G AND THE TAX AND HOW IT WOULD LOOK ON A NEW MEASURE.

NOW WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN DONE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS STARTING BACK IN 2004 WHEN WE FIRST APPROVED OUR FIRST WANT MEASURE.

>> YOU KNOW THE STUFF MY HEART RIGHT?

[LAUGHTER] >> JUST QUICKLY TO TOUCH ON IT, THIS IS THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE THAT WAS PUT ON THE BALLOT FOR THE 2004 ELECTION AND 2012 ELECTION.

SOMEWHAT SIMILAR AS YOU RECALL THERE IS A WORD LIMITATION ON THEIR AND SO WE TRIED TO PUT AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE IN THE LANGUAGE AND SOMETIMES IT'S A VERY LONG-RUNNING SENTENCE.

BOTH OF THEM HAVE SIMILAR LANGUAGE AND SIMILAR ISSUES AS ON-CAMPUS.

TO PROVIDE AN ADDED NOTE, MEASURE CC WHICH WAS APPROVED IN 2004 WAS FOR A TOTAL AUTHORIZATION OF TUNER $10 MILLION AND THIS AUTHORIZATION WAS FULLY EXTENDED IN DECEMBER 2018 AND MEASURE G WHICH WAS APPROVED ON THE NOVEMBER 2012 BALLOT WAS FOR A TOTAL OF 350 MILLION AND AS OF JUNE OF THIS YEAR WE HAD SPENT ROUGHLY 2 TO 62 MILLION UNDER APPROXIMATELY 88 MILLION TO COMPLETE.

BOTH OF THESE MEASURES REALLY WERE FOLLOWING THE DIRECTION OF TWO FACILITY MASTER PLANS OUR 2011 AND HER MOST RECENT 2019 MASTER PLAN AND THIS IS REALLY THE DRIVING FORCE.

THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE 2011 ABILITIES MASTER PLAN AS A WHOLE AND THESE HIGHLIGHTED AREAS REPRESENT EXISTING FACILITIES, WE CALLED IT BE ORANGE, THESE GUYS HERE WHICH REPRESENT NEW FACILITIES UNDER MEASURE CC BOND AND AGAIN THIS IS LOOKING AT A PRESENCE AS 2011 AND THEN BECAUSE OF THE DOLLARS THAT WERE ACCRUED IN 2004 IT WAS 210 MILLION DOLLARS AND EVEN THOUGH THAT SOUNDS A LOT OF MONEY IT DOESN'T GO FAR AND IT COMES TO BUILDING NEW FACILITIES.

THESE TWO BUILDINGS WERE DEALT UNDER THAT AND WAS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE WAS A NEW FACILITY THAT WAS NEEDED BUT WERE NEEDED BASED ON A FUTURE BOND THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THESE NEW BUILDINGS.

AND THEN THE ORANGE ACTUALLY, I MESSED UP.

THE YELLOW REPRESENTS THE NEW BUILDINGS UNDER CC AND THE ORANGE REPRESENTS WHAT WAS UNDER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION UNDER THIS POINT.

ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE BOND IS THAT IT ROUGHLY TOUCHED EVERY AREA ON CAMPUS AND THESE BLUE DOTS ON THIS MAP REPRESENT EVERY AREA AND SOME AMOUNT OF BOND DOLLAR WAS PUT INTO WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS NEW CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION, REMODELING, IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT.

PRETTY MUCH WE HIT NEARLY EVERY INCH OF THE CAMPUS WITH THESE BOND DOLLARS AND IT SHOWS THAT WE TRIED TO ACTIVELY SPEND THE FUNDS AS FAR-REACHING AS POSSIBLE TO ADDRESS THE MANY NEEDS ON-CAMPUS.

SO, HIGHLIGHT ON BOTH OF THE MEASURES.

17 NEW BUILDINGS, SEVEN MAJOR RENOVATION PROJECTS, SEVEN REMODELS AND THE NUMBER OF ASSESS ABILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURES, 90+ TOTAL PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE UNDER BOTH OF THESE MEASURES.

NEARLY 900,000 SQUARE FEET OF WORK HAD BEEN DONE ON OUR CAMPUS.

TO GET INTO EACH OF THEM, THIS IS A LIST OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE FUNDED WITH EACH OF THE MEASURES AND HAVE A SIMILAR SLIDE ON MEASURE G.

WE CAN SEE THE LIST OF BUILDINGS THAT WOULD BE THE REMODEL, THE NEW BUILDING, RETROFIT AND VARIOUS PROJECTS THAT WERE DONE.

AND THIS IS THE SAME FOR MEASURE G.

SO, THIS IS REALLY THE CURRENT EXISTING CONDITIONS ON CAMPUS AS OF TODAY AND WHAT IS GOING ON.

THE GREEN IS REPRESENTING WHAT IS IN CONSTRUCTION OR DESIGN AND OBVIOUSLY IT IS THE TAIL IN OF THE PATH BUILDING AND NEARLY FINISHED.

[04:25:02]

THAT IS BEING HELD UP DURING THE SHIPPING CRISIS THAT IS GOING ON THAT'S STILL NOT SLATED TO COME TO CAMPUS UNTIL LATE JANUARY.

OBVIOUSLY, FROM THE OUTSIDE IT LOOKS COMPLETE BUT FROM THE INSIDE THEY ARE STILL DOING WORK ON THE ACTUAL THEATER IS SELF AND A LOT OF THAT IS STILL PENDING.

WE HAVE TWO BUILDINGS UNDER WHAT WE ARE CONSIDERING DESIGN PHASE AND WE HAVE THE HEALTH SCIENCE RENOVATION PROJECT RIGHT NOW AND SO WE ARE ACTUALLY WORKING ON BIDDING THIS JOB OUT RELATIVELY SOON SO WILL BE WORKING ON THAT AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET THAT OUT ON THE STREET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO THE ABLE TO BID THAT JOB OUT.

AS A REMINDER THAT IS A STATE FUNDED PROJECT AND WE ARE TRYING TO LEVERAGE OUR BOND DOLLARS AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE CAN DO THAT IS BY APPLYING AND WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THIS BUILDING APPROVED.

THE OTHER BUILDING THAT WAS IN THE DESIGN DAYS IS THROUGH THESE SERVICES ADMINISTRATION BUILDING WHICH IS UP HERE AND AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE MAJOR DEMOLITION GOING ON IN THE BUILDING RIGHT THERE AND IF YOU HAVE BEEN ON CAMPUS THE LAST TWO WEEKS YOU HAVE GOTTEN A TREAT TO WATCH ALL THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT COME IN AND TEAR DOWN AND ACTUALLY IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY A NUMBER OF US STOOD OUT THERE AND WE SAW THE DEMOLITION PROJECT WATCHING THAT HEAVY MACHINERY COME IN TO OPERATE.

IT IS SOMETIMES A SHAME TO SEE THE PAST GO AWAY BUT IT PROVIDES A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR WHAT IS TO COME NEXT ON THOSE PROJECTS.

SO, TODAY AGAIN, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE WE HAVE TWO PROJECTS THAT WE ARE FINANCING THE DESIGN PHASE, AGAIN THIS IS THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND I WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS BUILDING ON A FUTURE SLIDE.

LOOKING AT WHERE WE ARE AT TODAY FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT AND WE CAN ACTUALLY DO.

GOING BACK TO WHAT I HAD MENTIONED A COUPLE SLIDES AGO WE HAVE $88 MILLION REMAINING IN MEASURE G.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE COMMITTED $46 MILLION OF THAT 88.

THAT IS ABOUT $6 MILLION OF LOCAL PROJECTS STILL OPEN AND ROUGHLY $11 MILLION TO CLOSE OUT THE PERFORMING ARTS BUILDING 27 MILLION WE HAVE OBLIGATED FOR HEALTH SCIENCE DIVISION AND 27 IS REALLY AN ESTIMATE AT THIS POINT IN OUR BEST GUESS ESTIMATE ON THAT ONCE WE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY BID OUT THIS JOB THIS NUMBER COULD CHANGE.

IT COULD GO UP AND IT COULD GO DOWN.

THEN WE HAVE THE DEMO PROJECTS GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND THAT IS A OR MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT.

$46 MILLION COMMITTED AND THAT LEAVES US 42 MILLION OF UNCOMMITTED DOLLARS.

THAT WILL THEN START THE CONVERSATION ON THE STUDENT SERVICES ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

WE WENT INTO THIS PROJECT AND WE HAD TO, WE WENT INTO THIS PROJECT UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT WE WOULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A BOND MEASURE IN NOVEMBER 2020 BALLOT.

AS YOU REMEMBER WE WENT INTO THIS PROCESS SIMILAR IN 2020 AND THEN COVE IT HAPPENED AND WE ALL DECIDED THAT PROBABLY WASN'T THE BEST TIME TO DO SO.

>> I JUST WANT TO CALL ON THIS QUICKLY ON THE HEALTH SCIENCES BUILDING THE FUNDS THERE ARE THE BONDS DOLLARS THAT ARE NOT INCLUSIVE WITH THE STATE?

>> THAT IS CORRECT.

THAT COMMITMENT GOING BACK TO 27 IS BOND RELATED.

WHAT WE HAD TO DO IS WE WERE PUT IN A POSITION WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY WE WERE PROJECTING THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUILD OUT THE ENTIRE PROJECT SO WE HAD TO BUILD IT OUT IN PHASES OR INCREMENTS SO THERE ARE THREE INCREMENTS OF THIS PROJECT.

BASICALLY WHAT WE SEE HERE ON THIS BASE APPROACH WE HAVE $4 MILLION WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS AND ONCE WE DEMO THE PROJECT WE WILL HAVE THE SOILS IMPROVEMENT TO GET IT READY TO BUILD AND AS WE KNOW WE HAVE A HEAVY WATER CONTENT ON THE CAMPUS AND SO THERE NEEDS TO BE A PRETTY EXTENSIVE SOILS IMPROVEMENT IN ABLE TO BE DONE TO GET READY FOR THE ACTUAL BUILDING ITSELF.

WHAT WE ARE CLASSIFYING AS THE STUDENT SERVICES BUILDING WHERE WE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE A TWO-PHASE APPROACH ITEM, THE FIRST MAJOR BUILDING IS ROUGHLY $54 MILLION AND AGAIN THIS IS WHAT OUR ESTIMATE IS AT THIS TIME.

TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT WE ARE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY $58 MILLION AND THAT LEAVES ROUGHLY $16 MILLION GAP FOR THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

THIS LEAVES US WITH TWO THINGS THAT CAN REALLY HAPPEN.

THIS IS THE DIRECTION WHERE WE ARE GOING.

SO, WE ARE GOING TO BE BIDDING OUT THIS JOB RELATIVELY SOON AND SIMILARLY WE WILL BE BIDDING OUT THE HEALTH SCIENCE BUILDING.

THERE IS A POTENTIAL THAT THIS NUMBER HERE COULD GO DOWN WHICH WOULD LEAVE US WITH A HIGHER AMOUNT OF UNCOMMITTED DOLLARS OR, IN A WORST-CASE SCENARIO THIS NUMBER COULD GO UP WHICH THEN WOULD IMPACT TO MAKE THIS GAP EVEN LARGER.

WHEN WE HIT THE BID WE WILL ANALYZE THE BID TO ADJUST THESE PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD.

WHAT WE WILL LIKELY BE BRINGING TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL IS MOVING FORWARD FOR SURE MOVING ON THIS HEALTH SCIENCE RENOVATION PROJECT AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS THAT IS THE SAFE KIND OF PROJECT WHERE WE ARE NOT GOING TO JEOPARDIZE LOSING THE MONEY THAT THE STATE HAS PROVIDED US.

IT MAKES SENSE TO MOVE THAT WHOLE PROJECT FORWARD.

WE HAVE THE FUNDS TO BUILD OUT THE PROJECT AND THAT WOULD BE THE DIRECTION WE WOULD GO.

IF THERE IS A SIZABLE UNFUNDED GAP FOR STUDENT SERVICES PIECE, WE HAVE TWO ACTIONS TO DO THIS.

BY THE TIME WE GET THE BIDS IN WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO THIS IS AN ESTIMATE BUT PROBABLY GOING TO BRING IN JIMMY TO HELP NAVIGATE ME ON THE TIMING OF THIS.

JIMMY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN AND CLARIFY ANY OF THE THINGS THAT I MIGHT HAVE MISSPOKE.

THE GOAL IS THAT WE ARE LIKELY GOING TO HAVE THIS IN FOUR OF THE STUDENT SERVICE ADMIN BUILDING AND ROUGHLY SOMETIME IN LATE SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER OF NEXT YEAR.

THAT WILL BE THE DRIVING POINT OF WHETHER OR NOT WE MOVE FORWARD.

IF THE UNFUNDED GAP IS TOO LARGE WHAT WE COULD DO IS HIT PAUSE UNTIL WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER ASSUMING WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD.

IF WE ARE NOT MOVING FORWARD THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO FIGURE OUT DO WE PUT THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM ON HOLD, FINISH COMPLETING THE RENOVATION PROJECT AS WE PROCEED, PUT THE STUDENT SERVICES BUILDING ON HOLD OR TRY TO FIND ALTERNATIVE FINANCING TO FILL IN THE GAP? EITHER WAY WITHOUT ANOTHER BOND WE ARE DONE WITH SECTION AT THAT POINT.

THESE ARE SOME PRELIMINARY OPTIONS THAT WE CAN DO.

THE NICE THING ABOUT IT BEING SO CLOSE TO THE NOVEMBER BALLOT, WE COULD POTENTIALLY PAUSE FOR THREE MONTHS OR SO, FOUR MONTHS AT THE MOST UNTIL WE KNOW WHETHER OR NOT A BOND PASSES AND IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL WE WOULD IMMEDIATELY GET BACK ON TRACK AND BRING THE BIDS IN THE CONTRACT TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL AND REALLY WHERE WITH A VERY LIMITED GAP IN OUR SCHEDULE ON THAT.

THOSE ARE SOME OF THE OPTIONS THAT WE ARE REALLY AT AT THIS POINT.

JIMMY, DID I GET THOSE DATES CORRECTS?

>> YES, YOU DID.

>> AND SO IT IS GOING TO REALLY DRIVE ON THOSE TWO PROJECT BIDS ONCE THEY COME IN.

ONCE WE GET THE NEW BID, LIKE A SAID, WE ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT BUT IT WOULD GIVE US A GREAT FOUNDATION OF WHAT THE MARKET IS ACTUALLY SAYING RIGHT NOW WITH THE COST OF THOSE BUILDINGS AND WITH IT WOULD BE.

AND SO, THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AT WITH THIS PROJECT THAT KIND OF LEAVES GOING INTO THE NEXT SLIDE.

BASED ON THE 19 FACILITIES MASTER PLAN THIS IS STILL AN IDENTIFIED NEED ON THE CAMPUS AND FINISHING OFF THE STUDENT SERVICES BUILDING THERE ARE NINE FUTURE BUILDING SLATED IN THE MASTER PLAN WHICH WOULD REQUIRE US DEMOING NINE EXISTING BUILDINGS.

BASED ON AND THIS IS JUST A LIST OF THOSE POTENTIAL PROJECTS.

DOWN HERE IS THE ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT THE CAMPUS WOULD LOOK LIKE AND I THINK I SHARED THIS WITH YOU BEFORE, ONE OF THE IDEAS WITH THE MASTER PLAN, WE ALL KNOW THAT IF YOU DRIVE AROUND STUDEBAKER WE DON'T HAVE A FRONT DOOR ON THE CAMPUS IS JUST BUILDING, BUILDING AND PARKING LOT AND PARKING LOT.

EVERYTHING LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME.

>> WE DO HAVE A NICE SIGN.

>> YES.

I DON'T THINK THAT IS AN OFFICIAL LOOK AT ALL.

THAT IS A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.

BUT, WE WERE TRYING TO BE INTENTIONAL ON THE FRONT DOOR OF THAT SO THIS IS REALLY THE FRONT DOOR IMAGE OF WHAT THAT CREATION WOULD LOOK LIKE.

AND SO, IT'S DEFINITELY A NEED ON THE CAMPUS AND THIS WOULD BE A FRONT DOOR RIGHT INTO OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART STUDENT SERVICES BUILDING A ONE-STOP SHOP AND MOST OF OUR STUDENT SERVICES ARE STANDARD THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS AND THIS WOULD PROVIDE AN EASY WAY FOR STUDENTS TO ACCESS SERVICES ALL IN A RELATIVELY CLOSE KNIT AREA.

SO WE LOOKWORK HARD WITH OUR APARTMENTS TO CREATE A DIFFERENT WAY OF OPERATING OPEN SPACES WITHIN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

SOMETIMES WE DESIGN BUILDINGS AND WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT BREAKING OUT THE SILOS AND WE DESIGN BUILDINGS THAT CREATE THOSE SILOS PAID THIS BUILDING WAS INTENDED TO TRY TO NOT CREATE THOSE TYPES OF SILOS AND AGAIN THE SIZING THE FURTHER NEED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THAT WOULD COST US ROUGHLY TO BUILD OUT OUR ENTIRE MASTER PLAN WE ARE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY $440 MILLION.

WYATT THINK THIS NUMBER IS IMPORTANT IS THIS IS REALLY WHAT OUR STARTING POINT ON THE POTENTIAL BOND MEASURE AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT AMOUNT, WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING IN THE MASTER PLAN.

WE SHOULD ALWAYS START ON WHAT THE COST WOULD BE TO COMPLETELY REDO THE MASTER PLAN SO OTHERWISE WHY WOULD IT BE A MASTER PLAN.

WE ARE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT THE PLAN STATES.

AND SO, THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE MOST THAT WE WOULD WANT TO ASK FOR.

AS WE GO THROUGH POTENTIAL POLLING'S AND WORKING WITH CONSULTANTS THIS NUMBER COULD BE ADJUSTED DOWN AND AGAIN MANY OF US ARE NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT THIS NUMBER AND MAGNITUDE AND THAT'S WHY WE CAN ADJUST DOWNWARD BUT I THINK THAT WE WOULD WANT TO START AS CLOSE TO THIS NUMBER AS POSSIBLE AND THAT COULD PROVIDE US RELATIVELY ENOUGH FUNDING TO BUILD OUT OUR 2019 MASTER PLAN.

>> IN THE WORLD OF COLLEGE UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS IT'S NOT ALTOGETHER AS DIFFERENT AS MANY OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS WE KNOW? WE ARE SEEING EXTRAORDINARY COST ENVIRONMENT.

HOW DOES THAT FOR 40, HOW DOES THE 440 ACCOMMODATE THAT?

>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

WHEN OUR STAFF MEMBERS ARE GOING THROUGH THIS, WE BUILT IN A LOT OF ESCALATION PRICE

[04:30:02]

IT'S A NUMBER BASED ON TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT IT COULD BE ADJUSTED SIGNIFICANTLY.

TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.

AND SO, WE NEED TO BEGIN TO LOOK AT AND READJUST THIS NUMBER BASED ON TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

THIS IS BASED ON WHAT WE INITIALLY THOUGHT WHEN WE WENT THROUGH ROUGHLY ABOUT A YEAR AND AND A HALF AGO AND SO IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A LONG TIME BUT A LOT HAS CHANGED BETWEEN 2020 AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN 2022.

>> I THINK IS JUST SHOWING A LOT OF UNIVERSITY PROJECTS AND OBVIOUSLY THE BOARD HAS NOT HEARD BUT AS LONG AS WE CAN GO IN WITH EYES WIDE OPEN?

>> I THINK IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO HEAR WHAT THE NUMBER IS AND THEN ADJUST FROM THERE BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS AND IT GOES INTO PRIORITIZATION IN WHICH PROJECTS ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUILD UP THE MASTER PLAN AND THEN IT GOES UP TO A PRIORITY LIST OF WHICH PROJECTS GO AND WHY OR WHY NOT AND A LOT OF TIMES WE LIKE TO FOLLOW SEQUENCING THAT HAS ALREADY DRAFTED AND PUT INTO THE MASTER PLAN BECAUSE THE SEQUENCING MASTER PLAN HAS BEEN DESIGNED PURPOSELY, IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR A CERTAIN PURPOSE.

MUCH OF WHAT WE KNEW BEFORE IS THE MASTER PLAN INCLUDED NINE NEW BUILDINGS.

WE ARE PUTTING BUILDINGS AND PLACES AND FOR THIS MASTER PLAN TO WORK WE HAD TO GO INTO THAT SEQUENCE AND SO SIMILAR TO WHAT WE ARE DOING TO PUT OUT A NEW STUDENT SERVICES AVENUE, WE WOULDN'T ABLE TO BUILD THAT BUILDING WITHOUT DEMOING A CERTAIN BUILDING FIRST.

SOMETIMES SEQUENCING ESPECIALLY IN OUR CAMPUS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF OPEN REAL ESTATE OR WE CAN JUST GO THROUGH THE BUILDING, IT WOULD REQUIRE US TO DEMO EXISTING BUILDINGS TO BUILD NEW FACILITIES.

>> OUR MASTER PLAN IS NOT LIKE A CSU MASTER PLAN WHERE IT HAS A CERTAIN PIR IMPLICATION?

>> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> THIS IS JUST A REFRESHER BUT HOW MUCH TO LEVERAGE PROPERTY TAXPAYER WITH THIS PRICE TAG BE AND FOR HOW LONG?

>> I DON'T HAVE MY PRESENTATION ANDY BUT ROUGHLY THE MAX ON THE NEW BOND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE LAW PROHIBITS US ON THAT SO RIGHT NOW IF WE WERE TO CHOOSE THE MAX IT IS $25 PER $1000 PLUS VALUE.

FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU USE YOUR HOME AS AN ASSESSED VALUE OF 400,000, THE MOST YOUR PROPERTY TAX BILL WOULD BE $100.

FOR THAT ELECTION.

AND SO, BUT IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE DURATION OF THE ACTUAL PROGRAM BECAUSE WHEN WE ACTUALLY ISSUE THE BOND MOST OF THESE PROGRAMS, IT COULD TAKE 30 TO 40 YEARS AS A MOTTLED FROM THE PREVIOUS CLIENT, TO BE ACTUALLY ABLE TO RUN OFF THE GUEST SERVICES OF JUST ONE AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE $25 IS A.

WE CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE IF THE BOARD CHOOSES TO DO SO, WE COULD IMPOSE A LOWER RATE INSTEAD OF THE $25 PER ONE OF THOUSAND COULD PROPOSE A $20 OR AN $18.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD CAUTION ON DOING THAT IS IT COULD PREVENT US FROM SELLING BONDS POTENTIALLY IF SOMEHOW THE HOUSING MARKET RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO REASON THAT IT WOULD NOT STOP US FROM ISSUING A BOND BECAUSE HOUSING MARKET SKYROCKETING RHINO BUT IN THOSE YEARS WHERE YOUR GROWTH IS DECLINING OR FOR WHATEVER ECONOMIC CRISIS HAPPENS IN THE NEXT HANDFUL OF YEARS, IT COULD IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO SELL BONDS.

THAT WAY THE ONLY CONCERN I WOULD HAVE ON IMPOSING A LIMITATION ON THAT.

BUT, IT IT IS DONE QUITE OFTEN AND THERE ARE OTHER MECHANISMS THAT WE CAN DO TO BE ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT BUT IF THE BOARD CHOOSES TO HAVE A LOWER TAX RATE APPLIED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER, THAT IS A WAY TO DO THAT.

>> AND THAT IS SOMETHING TO DISCUSS WHEN THE TIME COMES? ANOTHER QUESTION IS IF WE HAVE DONE A BOND MEASURE FOR EVERY EIGHT YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE, SEEMS TO BE 2004 2012 AND POSSIBLY 10 YEARS? IS THERE A FORESEEABLE CHANCE THAT THERE WOULD ANOTHER BONDS NEEDED FOR 10 YEARS TO DO ANYTHING ELSE ACCORDING TO THIS MASTER PLAN AND POSSIBLY A NEW ONE WITH THE THINGS THAT WERE MODERNIZED FROM 2004?

>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.

TO BE HONEST, THERE'S PROBABLY ALWAYS GOING TO BE A NEED TO CONTINUE TO UP DATE AND UPGRADE FACILITIES AND TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTANTLY.

WITH THE AMOUNT OF DOLLARS BEING ASKED CHANGED DRAMATICALLY I WOULD IMAGINE THAT ONCE YOU DONE A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AND YOU SHOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO DO ANY ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.

WE MAY HAVE TO, BECAUSE WE ARE BRINGING ON MORE EFFICIENT HOLDINGS, MAY BE OTHER COSTS WOULD COME UP AND THAT'S A TRIGGER THAT IS HAPPENING.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO START MOVING TOWARDS A MORE SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS AND THAT MEANS THE COST OF THE BUILDINGS WILL DRAMATICALLY GO UP.

I PLAN TO PROVIDE A PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD IN DECEMBER FOR THE NEXT BOARD MEETING REGARDING A POTENTIAL SOLAR PROJECT ON CAMPUS BECAUSE THE STATE IS PUSHING LIVE CERTAIN MANDATES AND GOALS THAT WE WOULD ABIDE BY WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY.

2025, 20 PERCENT OF OUR ENERGY MUST RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 20 3050 PERCENT OF OUR ENERGY THAT WE CONSUME MUST COME FROM NOBLE ENERGY.

TO GET NUMBERS LIKE THAT NEED TO BE CERTAIN TO ADD OTHER ALTERNATIVE MEANS TO PROVIDING THE ENERGY AND I WILL BE PROVIDING A PRESENTATION ON A POTENTIAL SOLAR PROJECT AND WHERE THAT WOULD GO AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THE FACILITIES TEAM AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN WORKING ON, DR. FIERRO AND I HAVE MET WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOLAR COMPANIES ON THE AND FINALLY WE HAVE ONE THAT WE THINK COULD POTENTIALLY WORK AND WE MET WITH THREE OF THEM.

OUR ISSUES SEEM TO BE THE CHALLENGING THING IN THE OTHER THING THAT BENEFITS US ON THAT IS WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW COMMUNITY COLLEGES WHO DIRECT PURCHASE OUR POWER THROUGH WHAT THEY CALL A DIRECT PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

WE ACTUALLY DON'T GET OUR POWER FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON EVEN THOUGH WE ARE STILL PAYING THE FEES TO EDISON BUT THAT GOES FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ENERGY AND WE GET OUR ENERGY FROM THE STATE CONTRACT AND WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW COMMUNITY COLLEGES WHO DO THAT WHICH MEANS THE ENERGY COSTS ARE VERY COMPETITIVE TO WHAT WE GET FROM SOLAR.

TO MAKE SOLAR WORK IS SOMEWHAT CHALLENGING BUT WE ARE ABLE TO GET TO A POINT WHERE IT IS PROMISING AND WE WILL GET TO THAT AT THE NEXT MEETING.

ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT I MENTIONED WILL GENETICALLY CHANGE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF OUR CAMPUS AND THAT IS GOING TO END UP IN VERY COSTLY AND NONE OF THAT IS EMBEDDED IN THE MASTER PLAN.

WE WILL UPDATE THE MASTER PLAN AND AGAIN AT THE END OF THE YEAR WE ARE IN 2020 AND WERE TALKING ABOUT A FOUR-YEAR-OLD MASTER PLAN SO ROUGHLY UPDATE THOSE MASTER PLANS EVERY 5 TO 8 YEARS SO WERE RIGHT AROUND THE WARNER OF DATING THE MASTER PLAN AND BASED ON THE NEEDS AND GROWTH OF THE CAMPUS WE WOULD BE PROPOSING A DIFFERENT FEEL ON CAMPUS AND THAT WOULD THEN BE ADDITIONAL MONIES FOR A POTENTIAL BOND PROJECT DOWN THE LINE.

I DON'T ANTICIPATE THESE TYPES OF THINGS GOING AWAY.

I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE A PROCESS.

AGAIN, WE DON'T BUILD BUILDINGS AND LET THEM SET FOR 30 YEARS AND DON'T DO ANYTHING TO THEM.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE TECHNOLOGY.

WE ARE CONSTANTLY KEEPING THEM GOING.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE HVAC SYSTEM AND WHAT WERE DOING TO IMPROVE THE HVAC SYSTEM.

A LOT OF THESE REQUIRE EXTENSIVE MAINTENANCE WORKS AND UPGRADES TO THE FACILITY SO I ANTICIPATE THIS.

>> UNDERSTAND THAT.

THIS CONTINUES TO PUSH MORE AND MORE COST ON PROPERTY OWNERS IN A MALL FOR INVESTING IN ANYTIME WE PASSED A BOND WE DO VERY WELL WITH IT AND OUR STUDENTS BENEFIT AND SO ON.

REFRESH MY MEMORY, IS MEASURE CC STILL BEING PAID BY PROPERTY OWNERS? HOW LONG WILL THAT BE ON THE BOOKS?

>> I WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU.

IT WAS ON THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION AND IF YOU GIVE ME A SECOND I CAN PROBABLY FIND IT.

>> AND THINKING VERY LONG TERM.

WERE CONTINUING TO ADD $25 EVERY 8 TO 10 YEARS OR SO ON THE PROPERTY OWNERS IN THAT CONTRIBUTES TO A HUGE AMOUNT BUT IS STILL ADDING TO THE COST OF LIVING AND THE COST OF OWNING THE PROPERTY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ALONG WITH INFLATION MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR PROPERTY OWNERS TO CONTINUE TO GET ON BOARD AS NO ONE CAN SAY THAT THEY ARE OPPOSED TO MODERNIZATION AND BUILDING THE BUILDINGS ON THE FRONT END.

IT BECOMES MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT OF A SALE AND YOU ARE TRYING TO CREEP UP INTO THE THOUSAND DOLLAR PER YEAR RANGE FOR INVESTING IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

IT'S A MUCH LESS SALIENT INSTITUTION FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR POPULATION IN THE K-12 SCHOOL DISTRICT WHERE THEY HAVE KIDS OR THEY KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS GONE.

I AM ALL IN FAVOR IN INVESTING IN THIS SET NEED TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MITIGATE FROM THAT TOP LINE OF 440 AND I UNDERSTAND INFLATION COST IN STEEL PRICES AND WOOD AND SO ON AND SO ON HAS INCREASED THE COST OF THESE BUILDINGS WITH THE MODERNIZATION TO HIM AND I THINK IT'S A PRETTY SERIOUS CONVERSATION ON HOW TO MITIGATE THESE INVESTMENTS THAT WE WOULD ASK OUR CONSTITUENTS TO TAKE ON.

>> IF THESE FAMILIES IN 2022 IF THAT PAST, DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE HOMEOWNER MUST PAY?

>> UNTIL MEASURE CC HOLDS.

I CAN'T REMEMBER.

I THINK IT IS ON THE OCTOBER PRESENTATION IS PROBABLY ON THE BOARD DOCS, WHAT I DID IS THE SLIDESHOW HAS A COMPARISON OF ALL THREE BONDS ON THAT AND OBVIOUSLY THE NEW MEASURE WOULD NOT START UNTIL WE ACTUALLY ISSUED THE DOLLARS ON THE BUTT TAXPAYER WOULD NOT BE PAYING ANY PROPERTY TAXES ON THAT MEASURE AND PROBABLY AT LEAST UNTIL 2023 OR 2024 WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH TO FLOAT US THROUGH BUT OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD NEED TO ISSUE THE BOND TO FULLY FUND THE STUDENT SERVICES ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND SO THAT WOULD LIKELY NOT BE RIGHT AWAY AND SO IT WOULD ROUGHLY BE A YEAR AND AND A HALF TO TWO YEARS AFTER THE ELECTION PAST.

>>.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WORK ON THIS.

I THINK THE THING THAT SEEMS TO ME COULD BE VERY GIGANTIC BUT ULTIMATELY REALLY VALUABLE IS ALL THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE OUTSIDE OF THE MASTER PLAN WORK THAT IS HELPED US BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE COULD HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THIS WORK SO WHEN TAXPAYERS PAY THE BOND THEY ARE SO GENEROUS TO DO THAT AND ALMOST ALL THE MONEY IS GOING TO THE CAPITAL PROJECT RATHER THAN THE INTEREST ON THE CAPITAL PROJECT AND THAT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE FINANCIALS SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK.

MRS. A WORLD THAT WE CAN ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF THAT.

>> THANK YOU AND SPEAKING OF THAT AND WE JUST FINISHED THE FINAL SALE ON THE LAST PRESENTATION $75 MILLION OF THAT BECAUSE OF THE CREDIT IN THE UPGRADE, THE TOTAL COST OF THIS ISSUANCE IS THE LOWEST EVER AND PRETTY MUCH THE LOWEST IN ALL OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

WE HAVE A VERY SOLID RATE GOING INTO THIS BOND SALE.

[04:35:02]

A LOT OF THE INVESTORS KEPT CONGRATULATING US AND COMPLEMENTING US ON OUR RECOGNITION OF OUR NAME AND RECOGNITION OF THE CREDIT ON THAT SO ALL OF THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS AGAIN THAT IT CONTRIBUTES TO THE OVERALL LESS DEBT THAT THE TAXPAYER HAD TO PAY SO ALL OF THAT TIES INTO THAT HERE THE NEXT PRESENTATION THAT I WILL BRING BACK TO THE BOARD IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE TIMELINE AND THE NEXT STEP MOVING FORWARD.

22 IS JUST RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

AND SO, IT MAY FEEL LIKE I AM PUSHING BUT A LOT OF INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE HAND IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD WANTS TO DO.

ONCE WE ACTUALLY APPROVE THE RESOLUTION THEN WE WILL BE IN CAMPAIGN MODE.

THE LONGER WE DELAY THAT THE LESS CAMPAIGN TIME ARE GOING TO HAVE TO POTENTIALLY TAKE SOME OFF THE PASS.

THE NEXT BOND PRESENTATION OF GOING TO TALK A LOT ABOUT THE TIMELINE AND THE NEXT STEPS AND A POTENTIAL DIRECTION TO GO ON THIS.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT.

I BELIEVE OUR STUDENTS DESERVE THE LEVEL OF QUALITY OF A FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTION SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

AS A POINT OF TRYST DO YOU RECALL APPROXIMATELY WHAT THE RATE IS THAT WE GOT ON THE BOND? ON THE MOST RECENT?

>> THEY CALL IT AND I HATE THROWING A NUMBER OUT THERE IN CASE I AM WRONG BUT.

>> YOU CAN TELL ME AFTERWARDS.

>> I ACTUALLY DID AN ANALYSIS AND I SENT IT OVER TO DR. FIERRO ON THAT AND SO I CAN'T REMEMBER IF HE WAS SENT THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND THAT OVER TO YOU.

I ALREADY DID THE LEG WORK I JUST HAD TO SEND IT OVER.

>> I THINK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THE.

>> MEASURE CC EXPIRES 2038 AND MEASURE G ON?

>> 2024.

>> THEY WOULD NEED A POTENTIAL OVERLAP OF 12 YEARS AND WHAT WITH THE INFLATION ON THIS?

>> IT WILL BE MUCH.

>> I'M SURE.

>> OKAY.

NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT CALENDAR.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION REGARDING THE CONSENT CALENDAR? DO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR AS SHOWN? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? AND IT PASSES.

ALL RIGHT, INFORMATION ITEMS. WE ARE GOING TO REVIEW THE REGULAR MEETING DATE AS PROPOSED.

ON THIS ITEM, DOES EVERYONE HAVE THE DATES IN FRONT OF YOU? ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS AS PRESENTED? THE ONLY CONCERN I HAD REALLY IS AROUND THE BEGINNING OF THE CALENDAR IN ORDER TO GET THE FACETIME FOR REDISTRICTING, IF IT'S ALL POSSIBLE TO MOVE TO THE JANUARY BOARD MEETING AND MOVE THAT AHEAD A WEEK? I WILL OPEN THE DISCUSSION TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY REASON FOR THAT.

>> THESE WILL BE THE OFFICIAL MEETINGS AND WE CAN SCHEDULE US MANY SPECIAL MEETINGS PRIOR TO AND IN BETWEEN.

SO, WE CAN DO ALL OF THE DATES AND WILL ME GET CLOSER, IF YOU WANTED WE COULD ROLL THEM OUT AS LONG AS THERE'S ENOUGH TIME IT SHOULD BE FINE BUT WE CAN, IF YOU WILL ME TO HOLD THE DATES IN BETWEEN, USUALLY WE HAVE A NUMBER OF DATES IN THE YEAR AND WE DON'T HAVE IT AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING WE HAVE THOSE MEETINGS FOR YOU BUT WE CANNOT HAVE THEM AT OF TIME AND IS THAT A SPECIAL MEETING?

>> THE JANUARY 19 MEETING SEEM LIKE WE WERE GOING TO PRESENT THE DRAFT IN JANUARY, THEORETICALLY JANUARY 19 SO I'M PROPOSING THAT WE DO THAT CONSIDER JANUARY 12 INSTEAD OF GENERATING 18.

>> IS A MAKE SENSE.

>> YES.

>> WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO 12 AND 19.

>> 12 INSTEAD OF 19?

>> WE COULD DO BOTH.

>> WE COULD DO THE 12 IN THE 19 BACK-TO-BACK.

>> IS NOT CONSIDERED A CLOSED SESSION THAT WOULD ALMOST BE EXCLUSIVELY NECESSARY FOR THE REDISTRICTING FOR DISCUSSING THE DRAFT MAP THAT WE PROPOSE?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

DOES IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO DO ANY OTHER MEETINGS? I GUESS WE COULD HAVE A SINGLE-PURPOSE MEETING IF WE WANTED TO SPEND EXTRA TIME ON IT.

>> THEY ARE RELATIVELY WELL SPACED OUT AND IT WILL MAKE SENSE IN THIS CONTEXT AND THE ONLY ONE THAT STRIKES ME IS SEPTEMBER 14 AND 21 BACK-TO-BACK.

ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT?

>> PERHAPS WE CAN MOVE THE SEPTEMBER 14 MEETING UP TO OCTOBER? THAT IS GOING TO BE IN THE VERY MIDDLE OF THE CAMPAIGN SEASON FOR THE THREE OF US AND ANYONE ELSE WHO MIGHT BE DOING THAT AS WELL.

I WOULD SAY THAT WE COULD DO THE SEPTEMBER 21 TWO MOVING IT UP TO JANUARY 12.

>> THAT COULD WORK.

THE REASON THE 14TH IS THERE IS USUALLY BECAUSE THE BOND HAS MOVED UP AND WERE TRYING TO MAKE THE DEADLINE.

AND STAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING SO WE CAN MOVE IT TO JANUARY.

>> AND IN THE 14TH BUDGET?

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS CALENDAR? ALL RIGHT.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION?

>> THIS IS JUST FOR INFORMATION AT THIS TIME JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE OKAY WITH THE CURRENT DATES.

THIS IS FOR THE BOARD TO NOTICE THE SEQUENCE OF THE MEETINGS SO AS LONG AS YOU ARE OKAY WITH THIS WE WILL BRING YOU AN ACTION ITEM THE NEXT TIME AROUND WE ARE HAVING A MEETING.

>> OKAY.

YOU ARE SAYING TO MOVE ONE OF THE SEPTEMBER MEETINGS OR ELIMINATE IT COMPLETELY?

>> WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS SET UP ADDING ONE MORE MEETING, TAKE THE SECOND MEETING IN SEPTEMBER, PUT IT ON 12 JANUARY SO WE CAN HAVE TWO MEETINGS BACK TO BACK OR WORK ON PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> GOTCHA.

>> WE WILL TAKE THAT AS AN ACTION ITEM.

>> CORRECT.

>> THE DIRECTION ON THE IS THAT WHAT IT IS?

>> ALWAYS FORGET ON THE ACTION ITEMS, WHICH ONES HAVE A VOTE IN WHICH ONES DON'T HAVE A VOTE.

>> WILL BRING YOU A COPY OF THIS THE NEXT MEETING FOR YOUR APPROVAL.

>> GREAT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

THE COLLEGE COORDINATING MINUTE OF THE 27TH AND OCTOBER 11 OF 2021 THERE'S NO ACTION BUT YOU RECEIVED A MENTION?

>> CORRECT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WE RECEIVED OUR INITIAL PROPOSAL FOR THE CERRITOS COLLEGE EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATION, CSEA FROM JULY 1 THROUGH JUNE 30 AND THE NOTIFICATION OF A PUBLIC HEARING AT THE DECEMBER 15 REGULAR BOARD MEETING.

THAT IS SO RECOGNIZED.

ALSO RECEIVED THE INITIAL PROPOSAL OF THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION CSEA CHAPTER 161 TO RIOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT FOR JULY 1, 2021 THROUGH JUNE 30 24 AT THE DECEMBER 15 2021 REGULAR BOARD MEETING.

SO, NOW WE MOVE TO ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS. BY THE BOARD POLICIES REVIEW OF CHAPTER 2 POLICY 2010 AND 2021? DR. FIERRO?

>> THANK YOU.

ESSENTIALLY THESE WERE THE POLICIES WE BROUGHT IN THE LAST TIME AROUND FOR THE FIRST READING.

THIS ONE IS HERE AND IT WAS IN RELATION TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND WE CANNOT CHANGE THAT BECAUSE OF THE CODE WE WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE OF HOW THAT GOT INTO THE CODE BUT THAT IS HOW THE CODE DEFINES IT AND WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SAME.

>> I AM JUST READING THAT THE DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND PROCEDURE OF CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEADS AND IN SO MANY WORDS THE CONCLUSION BASICALLY SAYS EVEN THOUGH THE STATUTE PROHIBITS SERVING ON THE GOVERNING BOARD OF HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT WHOSE BOUNDARIES ARE WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS HAS TO BE THE SAME BOUNDARIES OF THE COLLEGE DISTRICTS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

THE PRACTICALITY OF IT IS THAT BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD STILL BE WORRIED ABOUT SERVING ON ANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT OR OTHERWISE OVERLAPPING BOUNDARIES AS IT IS SUCH A SCENARIO THAT IS IN INCOMPATIBLE PUBLIC SERVICE.

IT IS A WEIRD RULE AND STATUTE.

>> CORRECT.

>> IS THAT ONLINE? WHAT TECHNICALLY.

>> YES.

>> SO, THE QUESTION IS DO WE ADOPT IT?

>> I SECOND THAT.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE? THAT PASSES.

NOW WE HAVE A CONSIDERATION OF AN ADOPTION OF 21 - 1117 HE COMMITTING TO THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTICS.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM?

>> YES, AND Q.

I HAVE SEVERAL PUBLIC COMMENT AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT MANY WERE IN THE MEETING EARLIER BUT THEY ARE NOT PRESENT AT THIS TIME FOR THE FIRST COMMENT IS FROM JEREMY RAMOS SAYS COULD EVENING BOARD OF TRUSTEES I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I AM IN SUPPORT OF THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC ITEM 5.02.

AS PRESIDENT OF THE ART CLUB I'M HAPPY TO SEE THIS CAMPAIGN PROGRESSES THROUGHOUT TIME.

THIS INVOLVED 2018 WHICH WAS THE FIRST CLUB PRESIDENT HAVING A PASSION TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON CAMPUS.

THROUGHOUT THIS TIME WE KNOW MANY ISSUES ARE SHARED WITH THE OFFICERS AND ADVISORS OF THE CLUB.

BEFORE HE TRANSFERRED HE GOT THE APPROVAL OF STUDENTS AND THE VENDORS WERE FORWARDED WITH THE CHANGE.

WHEN COVID-19 WAS IN PLACE EVERYTHING WENT ON PAUSES THAT MEAN WE NEED TO STOP AND GIVE UP? APSLEY NOT.

OUR LAST PRESIDENT DECIDED TO BRING IT BACK AND CONTINUE WITH THE BOARD.

IT IS NOT HOW WE START HOW WE FINISHED ON MAY 5 IT WAS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD ALONG WITH OUR EYES ARE REGARDING THE CAMPAIGN.

EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AN INFORMATIVE ITEM WITHOUT THE BOARD SHOULD LEARN ABOUT THIS FIRST AND THEN TALK ABOUT IT.

THEN WE HAD TWO AMAZING CODIRECTORS WHO WERE IN CHARGE OF THIS.

I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE TWO STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT ONLY CODIRECTORS OF THE CAMPAIGN BUT WHERE THE SUSTAINABILITY OFFERS/ STUDENT GOVERNMENT.

AS PRESIDENTS I KEEP CONTACT WITH THEM AS THIS IS THE CLUB THAT STARTED IT ALL AND AS THE YEARS PROGRESSED WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH OF OUR CAMPUS WILL BE CHANGED.

I HOPE THE CONSIDERING OF THE APPROVAL OF THE CAMPAIGN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

THE NEXT COMMENT IS FROM ROWLEY ON GOOD IN A SCHOOL WHERE MOST OF THE POPULATION LIVES NEAR REFINERIES AND OTHER TOXIC HARM, IMITATING OUR CALM DELAY CARBON FOOTPRINT IS IMPORTANT.

IT WILL HELP COMMUNITY AND FACULTY MEMBERS IN THE AREAS GOOD IF WE DECIDE TO BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC WE WILL BE SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT ARE IN NEED

[04:40:01]

THE NEXT COMMENT IS FROM JOEY MACHADO.

GOING PLASTIC FREE PROVIDES AN EXAMPLE TO OTHER SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTIONS TO FOLLOW OUR FOOTSTEPS.

THE EFFECTIVENESS, EASE AND LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES WILL SHOW THAT THIS SETS THE PRECEDENTS FOR OTHER COLLEGES HERE THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE MANY OTHER COLLEGES WILL EVENTUALLY NEED TO MEET SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES.

THE NEXT COMMENT IS FROM BRANDON JENSEN.

I AM 100 PERCENT IN FAVOR OF THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC CAMPAIGN.

LET'S MAKE CHANGES TO BETTER OUR COLLEGE ENVIRONMENT.

THE NEXT COMMENT IS FROM LUCY CRUZ.

I AM IN FAVOR OF THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC CAMPAIGN TO THE NEXT COMMENT IS FROM EMILY GOMEZ.

MY NAME IS EMILY GOMEZ AND IMUS DUDE AT CERRITOS COLLEGE IN SUPPORT OF THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC INITIATIVE.

THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND BECOME A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS AND ECO-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY BELONGS TO ALL OF US.

DO IT TO THE ENVIRONMENT OF FUTURE GENERATIONS TO MAKE THESE CHANGES.

THANK YOU.

THE NEXT COMMENT IS I AM IN FAVOR OF THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC CAMPAIGN THAT IS THE END OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND I WANT TO NOTE THAT GISELLE AND HECTOR WERE NOT ABLE TO RESUME THE MEETING.

>> GREAT.

WHAT THEY LIKE TO SHARE ANY BRIEF WORDS AS WE CONSIDER THIS?

>> YES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

THAT EVENING.

I AM THE DIRECTOR OF SUSTAINABILITY ALONG WITH GISELLE SHE IS MY DEPUTY FOR ASCC AND TODAY WE ARE THE DOCTORS FOR THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC CAMPAIGN.

TONIGHT WE JOIN YOU WITH A SENSE OF OPTIMISM AND HOPE INNOCENCE OF URGENCY TO TAKE ACTION ON BEHALF OF THE DESTROYED ECOSYSTEM AND POLLUTED OCEANS AND COMPROMISED COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE WORLD AND HERE AT HOME ALIKE DUE TO PLASTIC POLLUTION.

SINCE THE 1950S WE HAVE PRODUCED 18 BILLION TONS OF PLASTIC AND TO PUT THAT INTO CONTEXT, THAT IS 1 BILLION ELEPHANT, 80 MILLION LOU WHALES 25,000 EMPIRE STATE BUILDINGS AND JUST OVER 800 THOUSAND EIFFEL TOWERS.

THERE ARE A LITTLE OVER 7 BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH AND THAT IS JUST OVER 2000 POUNDS OF PLASTIC PER PERSON ON EARTH.

THAT'S REALLY HOW MUCH PLASTIC WASTE WE HAVE CREATED IN ONLY A MATTER OF A FEW DECADES TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE.

PLASTIC WASTE AND PLASTIC POLLUTION IS TRAGICALLY PUTTING EVERYONE AT RISK WHETHER IT IS THE RISING TOXINS IN OUR FOOD CHAINS DUE TO THE MICRO PLASTIC WILLED UP FOR THE TOXIC CHEMICALS RELEASED BY THE PETROLEUM REFINERIES PUTTING BLACK AND BROWN LOW INCOME COMMUNITY AT A HIGHER RISK OF LIFETIME HEALTH ISSUE AS MUCH AS ASTHMA AND CANCER.

SO MANY OF OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS LIVE NEAR THAT AND CLEARLY OUR USE OF PLASTIC REVEALS THE HARMONY BECAUSE TO OUR OWN ENVIRONMENT AND OUR OWN COMMUNITIES.

AND AS COLLEGE STUDENTS WE DEMAND OUR INSTITUTION STANDS UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND COMES A LEADER WITHIN THE BIGGER PICTURE OF ENVIRONMENT OF JUSTICE.

YOU KNOW, THESE ARE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

BOARD MEMBERS, THIS INITIATIVE WAS CALLED TO ATTENTION BACK IN MAY AND I BELIEVE NOW IS THE TIME FOR US TO MAKE A PRACTICAL DECISION.

HERE IS OUR PROPOSAL.

THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC INITIATIVE WILL PHASE OUT SINGLE USE PLASTICS FROM OUR CAMPUS VENDORS IN SEVEN YEARS AND EACH YEAR WE WILL REPLACE PLASTIC WITH ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES ONE ITEM AT A TIME.

FOR INSTANCE, YEAR ONE WE WILL REMOVE PLASTIC BAGS AND REPLACE THEM WITH PAPERBACKS.

IN YEAR TWO WE WILL REPLACE PLASTIC UTENSILS WITH SILVERWARE OR PLANT -BASED UTENSILS FOR THE NEXT YEAR WE WILL REMOVE PLASTIC CUPS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH UNTIL WE REACH YEAR SEVEN WHICH THE VENDORS WILL BECOME PLASTIC FREE.

ONCE THE COLLEGE AGREES TO THIS INITIATIVE A TASK FORCE WILL BE PERFORMED AND THEY WILL OVERSEE OUR PLASTIC FREE PRACTICES AND THAT OF WHICH WOULD ALSO CONSIDER THE DELAY IMPLEMENTATION OF OTHER PRACTICES ON CAMPUS AS WELL AND DIVERTING FROM FOSSIL FUELS OR MAYBE PLANTING MORE TREES AND NATIVE VEGETATION HERE ON CAMPUS.

THAT BEING SAID I WILL HAND OVER THE FLOOR TO GISELLE.

>> YES, THANK YOU, HECK THERE.

HOW CAN ACHIEVE THIS? LET ME REFER TO THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE LEADING BY EXAMPLE IN TAKING ON THIS INITIATIVE.

FOR INSTANCE BY 2023 THE CSU SYSTEM IN ITS 23 CAMPUSES WILL BE ELIMINATING THE USE AND SALE OF SINGLE USE PLASTICS.

THE UC SYSTEM IS IMPLEMENTING A PHASEOUT AMONGST OTHER UNIVERSITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE NATION.

THIS IS DEFINITELY FEASIBLE.

IN ADDITION, THERE IS ONLY ONE OTHER COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE US, DURHAM TECH THAT HAS PLEDGED TO THIS INITIATIVE.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY HEADLINES TO REACH CERRITOS COLLEGE THE FIRST COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN CALIFORNIA AND SECOND IN THE NATION TO BREAK AWAY FROM SINGLE USE PLASTICS.

OBVIOUSLY FROM A PUBLICITY AND NEWSWORTHY STANDPOINT THIS IS GOOD AND FROM A COMPETITIVE AND COLLEGIATE STANDPOINT THIS IS ALSO GOOD AND PERSONALLY I THINK THIS WOULD BE AN OPPRESSIVE ACCOLADE TO THE COLLEGE'S RESUME.

LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS FROM A FOOD BUSINESS STANDPOINT.

BY ELIMINATING THE NEED TO BUY SINGLE USE PLASTIC AND INVESTING IN ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES WE CAN SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.

THOUGH WE PERSONALLY HAVE NOT CRUNCHED THE NUMBERS AND DON'T KNOW THE EXACT COST OF THE INITIATIVE THERE HAVE BEEN CASES WHERE CERTIFIED BUSINESSES PROVE THIS PLAN RIGHT.

FOR EXAMPLE, THEY INVESTED $636 TO REPLACE SINGLE USE PLASTICS AND HAD A NET SAVINGS OF $22,000.

TO RECAP, REMOVING SINGLE USE PLASTICS FROM OUR CAMPUS WILL BE A WIN-WIN FOR STUDENTS.

NEED TO TRANSFORM CERRITOS COLLEGE INTO A GREENER INSTITUTION.

THANK YOU AND I YIELD MY TIME.

>> THANK YOU BOTH.

THANK YOU HECTOR AND GISELLE.

AND RYAN AS WELL FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK ON THIS INITIATIVE.

WE ARE INDEED EXCITED TO ADD MORE THINGS TO OUR EXTENSIVE COLLEGE RESUME.

HOPEFULLY THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE AS CRITICAL.

DR. FIERRO?

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE BIRKEY AND I WANT TO THANK HECTOR AND GISELLE FOR STICKING AROUND AND FOR SPONSORING THIS INITIATIVE AND KEEPING OUR STUDENTS ENGAGED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

THE SOLUTION BEFORE YOU IS OBVIOUSLY TO ESSENTIALLY ADOPT A BREAK FROM PLASTIC AND THE OUTLINES THAT WE EXPECT TO ACHIEVE AND THE RESOLUTION WILL BE ADOPTED.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN IDEA OF THE WORK WE'VE BEEN DOING OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO WORK WITH OUR VENDORS AND ANALYZE WHAT WE COULD DO NOW, WE KNOW THERE IS A SEVEN-YEAR COMMITMENT AND THERE IS ALSO AN URGENCY TO DO IT EVERY SEVEN YEARS WHICH IS WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO SEE.

IF YOU LOOK OUTSIDE THE WINDOW YOU WILL SEE ONE OF THOSE REVITALIZATION'S AS WE UPGRADED THOSE ACROSS THE ENTIRE CAMPUS.

WE DO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING A CAMPUS WITH A FEW STUDENTS AND FACULTY AND STAFF THAT IS THERE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A FULLY FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION THAT IS PART OF OUR PLAN TO MAKE A WATER BOTTLE.

IF YOU LOOK IN OUR KITCHEN YOU WILL NOTICE THE USE OF THE FILTER THAT FROM THE MOST PART YOU'VE SEEN A FILTER TO ELIMINATE THE USE OF THE BOTTLE THAT WE HAVE ON THIS SIDE.

WE ARE DOING THIS TO MOST OF OUR OFFICES TO BEGIN ADOPTING A RESOLUTION BEFORE YOU AND AN ADOPTION TO EXPEDITE OUR COMMITMENT.

AND THEN THE NEXT PART OF THAT, I DON'T WANT TO STEAL ANYONE'S THUNDER BUT WE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON HOW WE CAN MOVE AWAY FROM DISPOSABLE SILVERWARE AND IN THE FUTURE WE WILL PROVIDE PACKAGES TO THE FACULTY STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS THEIR OWN SET OF SILVERWARE SO IT WILL BE PORTABLE SILVERWARE, CERRITOS COLLEGE BRANDED AND PROVIDED TO ALL OF US AND WE WILL USE THOSE FOR EVENTS INSTEAD OF HAVING TONS AND TONS OF PLASTIC UTENSILS IN THE OFFICE.

IN THE NEXT STEP TO THAT TO COMPLEMENT, YOU PROBABLY NOTICED A BOTTLE OF LIQUIDS IN FRONT OF US RIGHT NOW WHICH IS PART OF WHEN WE WILL ALSO PROVIDE EVERYONE ON CAMPUS WITH A BOTTLE TO TRANSITION FULLY OUT OF THAT AND TO PROVIDE THAT STATION.

WE ARE BUSY AT WORK TALKING WITH OUR VENDORS AND WORKING ON A DECISION GOING FORWARD.

WE DO HAVE WORK THAT IS OCCURRING WITH SOME VENDORS THAT HAVE SWITCHED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND WE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN NEW CONTRACTS WITH YOU IN THE NEW ELITE NEAR FUTURE WITH THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE THAT WE REACH OUR SEVEN-YEAR COMMITMENT.

SO, REDUCING OUR PLASTIC CONSUMPTION ON CAMPUS AND WE HOPE TO CREATE A SEVEN YEAR MARK.

SO, I WOULD AGAIN ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORK WITH A SOLUTION AND CONTINUE MORE WORK TO BECOME A GREENER CAMPUS.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WITH THAT DO WE HAVE A MOTION REGARDING THIS RESOLUTION? WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED? NONE.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS RESOLUTION DID.

NOW AND CONGRATULATIONS BY THE WAY.

ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK IS NO OFFICIAL.

GREAT JOB EVERYBODY.

AND THANKS AGAIN TO OUR STUDENTS FOR LEADING THE WAY ON THIS ISSUE AND SONY OTHERS.

[APPLAUSE] WHEN WE COME BACK TO THE INSTITUTIONS THEY WILL ASK WHERE DID THE PLASTIC GO? THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR WORK.

WE WILL MOVE TO THE REPORTS AND COMMENTS FROM DISTRICT OFFICIALS AT THIS EARLY HOUR OF 10:45.

WE WILL START WITH TRUSTEE NINEL SUTHERLAND.

>> NO COMMENT.

>> TRUSTEE PACHECO?

>> FIRST I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR CONSTANT HARD WORK AND DILIGENCE.

I REALLY ENJOYED THE RESEARCH.

THE OTHER THING IS I JUST WANTED TO, I KNOW IT WAS VETERANS DAY AND I WANTED TO THANK ALL THE VETERANS FOR ALL OF THEIR SERVICE AND WE DO HAVE, BUT WE DO HAVE OUR CHRISTMAS PARADE BUT IF YOU DO, WE WILL BE HAVING THE CHRISTMAS PARADE ON DECEMBER 5 AND IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE LET ME KNOW AND I CAN LET THE CHAMBER KNOW AND I CAN WORK ON THAT FOR YOU.

SO PLEASE, REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF THE CHRISTMAS PARADE.

I BELIEVE THAT IS ALL.

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE PACHECO.

TRUSTEE AVALOS.

>> WOULD LIKE TO ALSO AGREE WITH WHAT SHE SAID AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I AM GLAD THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT MORE OF OUR STUDENTS AND.[INDISCERNABLE]

[04:45:02]

>> THANK YOU.

VP DR. SHIN LIU?

>> NOTHING FOR ME.

DR. FIERRO?

>> WISH I COULD SAY I HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT.[LAUGHTER] >> IT'S LIKE A MATH PROBLEM.

YOU SHOULD JUST DO IT IN THE BEGINNING.

>> YES.

>> OCAMA YOU PROBABLY SEEN AND READ ABOUT THE STATE OF LOCAL ENROLLMENT AND CERRITOS COLLEGE IS NO EXCEPTION.

WE BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF OUR ENROLLMENT AND HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE IN THE LOOP AS THE CAMPUS BEGINS WITH THESE BECAUSE WE ARE FACING A VERY DELICATE SITUATION WITH ENROLLMENT.

FROM WEEK 14 TO FALL OF 2021 TO COMPARE WITH FALL 2020 WE ARE ABOUT 10 PERCENT DOWN IN ENROLLMENT WITH STUDENTS, NUMBER OF STUDENTS.

AND FROM FALL OF 2021 TO FALL OF 2019 WE ARE DOWN 24 PERCENT.

THE NUMBERS ARE INCREDIBLY CONCERNING AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

NOW, THESE ARE STUDENT NUMBERS AND SO WE NEED TO DEFINE WHAT DOES IT MEAN.

WE ARE RUNNING SOME CALCULATIONS BUT EVERYTHING SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT WE ARE LOOKING WITHIN 10 TO 12 PERCENT WHICH AGAIN IS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER.

THIS IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE LOWEST NUMBERS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE LAST DECADE.

IN THE NUMBERS ARE BELOW WHAT MANY ARE EXPERIENCING ON THE STATE AVERAGE AND IT IS STILL CONCERNING PARTICULARLY AS WE LOOK AT THE BUDGETS AND AS WE START BEING INTO HIRING FACULTY WE HAD PLANS OF HIRING A NUMBER OF FACULTY BUT IF WE CONTINUE TO SEE THIS TREND OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO KEEP EVERYONE AT THOSE CURRENT LOADS.

WE ARE MONITORING THE SITUATION VERY CLOSELY AND THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE HAD IN WORKING WITH THESE AND WE BEEN WORKING AND WE HAVE YET TO CONFIRM THE DAY BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ENGAGE THE ENTIRE CAMPUS INTO THESE CONVERSATIONS.

THE SILVERLINING IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR POINT WE ARE UNDER EMERGENCY FUNDING WHICH MEANS THAT THE FUNDING IS BASED ON THOSE NUMBERS AND WE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT THIS IS HERE AND THE EMERGENCY UNEMPLOYMENT INS THIS YEAR AND WE ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE TWO YEARS OF DECREASE AT ONCE SO WE ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE A DECREASE OF 2020 AND 2021 IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR.

REMEMBER, THE FORMULA IS BASING THE AVERAGE ON THREE YEARS SO WE WILL HAVE TWO OUT OF THE THREE YEARS IN OUR CALCULATIONS BEING LOW WHICH MEANS WE ARE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCING BUDGET CUT EVERY YEAR UNTIL WE ARE SEEING THE ENROLLMENT INCREASE.

THE STATE AS YOU PROBABLY HAVE SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS IT HAS BEEN BELOW 2 MILLION STUDENTS.

WE WERE AS HIGH AS 2.3 AND NO WE ARE GOING TO 1.9 WHICH IS AGAIN CONCERNING AT THE STATE LEVEL AND LOCAL LEVEL AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR LEGISLATION TO ENSURE THAT WHAT'S AVAILABLE FOR THE SERVICES BUT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO INVEST IN RECRUITING AND ATTRACTING STUDENTS.

PRIOR TO THE DISTRICTS, THEY ARE BECOMING MORE PREVALENT THAN EVER BEFORE AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO EXPAND CURRENT ENROLLMENT IS THE KEY INTO BEGINNING TO WORK OUR WAY OUT OF THIS TREND.

WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED AS WE WANT TO START THE CONVERSATION AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS IT THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO TO NAVIGATE THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS FOR THE ENROLLMENT.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

TRUSTEE LEWIS?

>> NEWS INDEED.

THE LIGHTER THINGS FIRST, I WANT TO THANK THE COMMANDER AT THE VFW FOR PUTTING ON A GREAT VETERANS DAY EVENT THAT'S THE CITY HALL IN THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS MUCH MORE IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND IN THE COMMUNITY.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE K-12 BREAKFAST WHICH HOPEFULLY IS THE LAST TIME IT WILL BE ON ZOOM.

THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT STUFF HAPPENING WITH ENROLLMENT AND PROGRESS IS BEING MADE BE BETWEEN THAT TO EXTEND THE DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM AND CONTINUOUS HIGH SCHOOL SUCH AS EL CAMINO HIGH SCHOOL IN MY DISTRICT.

I THINK THAT WAS CERTAINLY LONG OVERDUE AND I HOPE WE CAN PROVIDE THAT OPPORTUNITY ESPECIALLY TO STUDENTS WHO ARE LOOKING TO FIND A NEW OPPORTUNITY AS THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN THOSE KEY AGENCIES.

ALSO WANT TO THANK MY EMPLOYEES THERE ESPECIALLY JIM AND MADISON FOR PUTTING US THERE AND SHOWING ALL THE EFFORTS THEY PUT INTO MAKING IT A COZY PLACE AND SHOWCASE TO THE STUDENTS THAT THERE IS NO SHAME IN SHOPPING FOR THE FOOD THERE AND HAVING A SAFE PLACE THE MATTER WHO YOU ARE TO HAVE PROFESSIONAL CLOTHING AND TO GIVE YOU THAT LEG UP.

SO THANK YOU TO THEM FOR THE EVENT AND THE LAST THING I WOULD ASK THAT THE PRESIDENT TO PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT WEEK IS A RECONSIDERATION OF THE VACCINE MANDATE CONSIDERING THE COMMENTS THAT WE HEARD TODAY FOR THE CERTAIN ADJUSTMENT THAT NEED TO BE RECONSIDERED AND ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT THAT DR. FIERRO JUST REPORTED THAT WE FIND OURSELVES IN A DROP IN STUDENT ENROLLMENT SO CERTAINLY HAVING THE STRICT VACCINE MANDATE WHICH IS VERY RARE IS NOT GOING TO HELP THAT SITUATION.

CERTAINLY MINORITY STUDENTS BUT IT MAKES IT WITH THE NUMBERS AND ULTIMATELY WITH THOSE FACULTY AND STAFF RESOURCES FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WE HAVE HAD A BOARD MEMBER PUT THAT ITEM ON THE AGENDA AND BASED ON THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS IT AND WE IMPLEMENTED IT ON JANUARY 1.

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE LEWIS.

TRUSTEE PEREZ?

>> THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ALREADY IS THAT WE ARE IN THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEAGUE AND I WAS INVOLVED IN THE BROWN ACT AND THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING AND I HEARD DR. FIERRO TALK ABOUT LOCKING IN THE STUDENTS AND HOW TO REACH THEM FOR THEIR SUCCESSES.

IT WAS REALLY INFORMATIVE ABOUT DIFFERENT PRACTICES AND STRATEGIES TO SECURE SUCCESS.

THIS IS HOPEFULLY THE LAST VIRTUAL CONFERENCE AND WE WILL ALL PROVIDE A CALENDAR IN JANUARY AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RETURN FROM THE ARMY CONFERENCE AND AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE ORIENTATION AND THE CONFERENCE IN SACRAMENTO.

THERE'S A LOT OF IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT WE ARE WORKING ON ADVOCATING SO HOPEFULLY EVERYONE CAN ATTEND.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE PEREZ.

AND OBVIOUSLY TO ECHO WHAT YOU ALL SAID IN TERMS OF ALL THE IMPRESSIVE WORK ON THE ITEMS, I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU WHO SHARED ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TOPICS.

I THINK IT'S BEEN A VALUABLE MEETING FOR US AND OUR INSTITUTION AS A WHOLE.

WITH THAT, HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND I WILL SEE YOU ALL VERY SOON AND WE WILL GO INTO CLOSED SESSION NOW AND THERE WILL BE NO READOUT.

>> NO ACTIONS ON THE CLOSED SESSION?

>> AFTER THE CLOSED SESSION WE CAN GO.
