I WANTED TO OFFER A STATEMENT ON THE NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT FOR SALARY.
IT WAS RATIFIED BY CCF AND I AM HOPING THE BOARD WILL APPROVE IT.
THIS IS A PRECARIOUS TIME FOR MANY OF US ECONOMICALLY AND HAVING THE SECURITY OF COLA WILL BE A HELP TO MY AND OTHER FACULTY.
THE FINAL COMMENT IS FROM STEPHANIE ROSENBLATT, INSTRUCTION LIBRARIAN.

[00:05:02]
YOU OUR TRUSTEES WILL DO.WHILE EVERYONE WISHES WE COULD RECEIVE A RAISE ABOVE COLA WHILE RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTIONS WE MAKE TO THE COLLEGE, WE ARE COGNIZANT OF THE STRAINS PUT ON OUR COMMUNITY, COLLEGE AND STUDENTS.
I'M GLAD TO PUT THIS ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS BEHIND US TO TAKE CARE OF OUR STUDENTS.
I'M CONFIDENT DURING THE NEXT ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS TO MAKE SURE ALL FACULTY ARE RECEIVING JUST COMPENSATION, MORE WILL BE DONE AT THAT TIME.
ANYBODY ELSE? SEEING NO OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE.
WE WILL PLEASE MOVE TO ITEM 1.05, REPORTS AND COMMENTS FROM CONSTITUENT GROUPS.
ALSO, DOCTOR ARE WE BROADCASTING THIS MEETING OR HOW ARE THE MEMBERS OF PUBLIC ABLE TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE'RE BROADCASTING IT IS MEETING THE SAME WAY WE WILL BROADCAST IF WE WERE ON CAMPUS.
SO, WE ARE USING NEW TECHNOLOGY SWAGIT FOR CAPTIONING BROADCASTING.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CLICK ON THE SAME LINK IN OUR WEBSITE AND BE ABLE TO SEE THE MEETING LIVE LIKE WE ARE SEEING IT NOW.
SO REPORT AND COMMENTS FROM CONSTITUENT GROUPS, ITEM 1.05.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START WITH VALERY.
DO YOU WANT ANY UPDATE TRUSTEE ESCOBAR FOR ACC?
>> WE PRESENTED THE BUDGET TODAY.
SINCE IT WAS DONE PRIOR TO COVID-19, WE HAVE A LOT OF FIXES AS OF RIGHT NOW.
AS SENATE, IT WENT TO SENATE TODAY.
THERE'S THAT AND WE HAD ELECTIONS LAST WEEK.
SO, WE SHOULD KNOW THE RESULTS BY TOMORROW NOON.
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> HI, YES, GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.
HOPE EVERYBODY IS STAYING SAFE AT HOME.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE CLASSIFIED STAFF FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THEM DOING SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB KEEPING OUR CAMPUS AS OPEN AS POSSIBLE AND SUPPORTING OUR FACULTY AND OTHER STAFF AND OUR LEADERSHIP ON CAMPUS.
JUST A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THEM DOING SUCH EXCELLENT WORK DURING THIS TRYING TIME.
DO WE HAVE AN UPDATE FROM DR. GRIFFIN ACADEMIC SENATE?
>> YES, WE ARE MOVING TOWARD ONLINE INSTRUCTION DURING THE SUMMER.
WE ARE EXPERIENCING A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE JUST AS WE ARE MOVING FROM SPRING TO SUMMER AND THEN INTO FALL.
SO BASICALLY THE LAST MONTH I HAVE SPENT TRYING TO ENCOURAGE FACULTY TO INSURE THAT STUDENTS AND FACULTY FEEL SUPPORTED DURING THIS UNPRECEDENTED PERIOD.
THERE'S BEEN FEAR TO MOVING TO ONLINE TEACHING JUST BECAUSE MANY FACULTY NEVER CHOSE TO BE ONLINE EDUCATORS.
INSTEAD, THEY CHOSE TO BE IN-PERSON EDUCATORS.
IN THE LAST SEVEN DAYS, THE CHANCELLORS OFFICE HAS GIVEN THE DISTANCE EDUCATION ADDENDUM AND WITH THIS ANNOUNCEMENT THE SUMMER WOULD NOT BE LIKE SPRING.
WE WOULD HAVE TO MOVE TO ONLINE INSTRUCTION WHICH INCLUDES CONTACT HOURS AND CONTACT WITH FACULTY.
AND TO DEMONSTRATE A PLAN TO MEET OUR IMMEDIATE GOALS FOR TRAINING FACULTY ON DISTANCE EDUCATION.
AS I CONVEYED THIS MESSAGE TO FACULTY, MY OWN E-MAIL HAVE GONE TO FEARFUL.
WE HAVE SCRAPED BY ON THE GOOD WILL OF THOSE WHO VOLUNTEERED AND BEEN PAID STIPENDS.
THEY WORKED COUNTLESS HOURS TO SUPPORT STUDENT AND FACULTY.
MANY COMMUNITY COLLEGES INCLUDING THOSE IN OUR OWN REGION ARE STRUGGLING BUT BENEFITTING FROM FAR MORE ESTABLISHED INFRASTRUCTURE THAN CERRITOS A 2000 SURVEY INDICATED THAT OF THE 80 COLLEGES THAT WERE SURVEYED, 73 HAD DE COORDINATORS.
THE AVERAGE WAS TWO FULLY REASSIGNED INDIVIDUALS AND THE MAXIMUM WAS NINE.
[00:10:05]
THE TRUSTEES TO SUPPORT THE FACULTY TRAINING THROUGH APPROPRIATE RESOURCES SUCH AS TECHNOLOGY, CONTENT MODULES AND COMPENSATION FOR DE COORDINATORS.OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE ALL FACULTY -- AVAILABLE RESOURCES IS NOT A LOFTY GOAL.
THE SENATE AND DIGITAL LEARNING COMMITTEE AND THE CURRICULUM COMMITTEE ARE HARD AT WORK TO PROVIDE THE PLANS REQUIRED BY THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE.
AS THESE PLANS COME TO FRUITION, I WILL SHARE THOSE WITH YOU AND MY HOPE IS YOU WILL SUPPORT FACULTY TO ENSURE QUALITY EDUCATION TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.
LAST YEAR THE CERRITOS -- DID AGREE TO REOPEN NEGOTIATIONS AT A LATER TIME TO COMPLETE THE CBA REGARDING SALARY FOR THE OTHER TWO YEARS THAT OUR CURRENT CONTRACT COVERS.
THIS SEMESTER'S -- TO APPROVE OR REJECT THE TA.
60% OF VOTING FACULTY VOTED TO APPROVE IT.
WITH THE COMPLETION OF RATIFIED TA AND THE BOARD'S VOTE TO APPROVE IT TODAY, WE CAN MOVE ON AND LOOK FORWARD.
WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS SECURING WAYS OF IMPROVING OUR FACULTY'S WORK LIVES, THEIR HEALTH, WELL BEING, SAFETY AND SECURITY.
ESPECIALLY DURING THESE STRANGE AND UNCHARTED TIMES.
DURING THE PANDEMIC OF THE NOVEL CORONOVIRUS, PRESERVING OUR HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FOR ALL FACULTY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHER.
JOB SECURITY AND FINANCIAL SECURITY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.
REQUIRING FACULTY TO MAKE THE QUICK TRANSITION ONLINE AND ONLINE INSTRUCTION TRAINING.
MANY FACULTY ARE BEING ASKED TO DO EXTRA WORK THEY ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH AND STRUGGLE WITH.
THEY PERFORM THIS WORK TIRELESSLY AND OFTEN AROUND THE CLOCK TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF THE STUDENTS.
WE CAN'T IGNORE THIS AND MUST RECOGNIZE TO FAIRLY COMPENSATE THE EFFORTS THE INSTRUCTORS ARE PUTTING FORWARD FOR THE STUDENTS WHILE ENSURING OURSELVES AND OUR LOVED ONES.
PASSING THE RATIFIED SALARY TA WILL ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD AND ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR OUR FACULTY IS IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND OUR COLLEGE.
THAT SHOULD CONCLUDE OUR REPORTS FROM CONSTITUENT GROUPS AND COMMENTS.
SO, WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM NEAR 2.01.
[2. Open Session Agenda]
INSTITUTIONAL PRESENTATION OF THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IT MASTER PLAN.>> GIVE ME JUST ONE MOMENT AND I WILL LET THEM INTO THE ZOOM CALL.
WE HAVE A COUPLE SPEAKERS THAT ARE GOING TO WALK US THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THE MASTER PLAN.
AND THERE WILL BE SHARING THE SCREEN WITH US TO GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.
[00:15:02]
THIS PRESENTATION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ALL THE GROUPS ON CAMPUS.AND LAST WENT THROUGH COORDINATING COMMITTEE AND OBVIOUSLY NOW IS COMING TO YOU.
HI MARVIN, HOW ARE YOU DOING? I'M DOING WELL.
>> GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE AGAIN.
WE ARE READY ANY TIME YOU ARE.
LET ME SEE IF I CAN'T SHARE MY SCREEN.
WANT, SO I AM MAYBE YOU ALREADY HEARD.
MARVIN SAWYER WITH PLANT MORAN.
WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR WORK WE DID WITH YOUR TEAM ON CREATING AN IT MASTER PLAN.
GOING TO SPEND YOU'RE ABLE TO HEAR ME OKAY, RIGHT? WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES JUST SETTING THE STAGE FOR SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE DID TO CREATE THE I T MASTER PLAN AND REALLY THIS SLIDE SPEAKS TO IT ALL.
AND THEN I'M GOING TO REALLY GET INTO THE PLAN ITSELF.
BUT THE BIG THING WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS THE FACT THAT WE LOOKED AT BOTH EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FACTORS THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE IT MASTER PLAN.
FROM AN EXTERNAL PERSPECTIVE, WE LOOKED AT TECHNOLOGY TRENDS, WE LOOKED AT SOME PEERS AND GOT THAT FROM YOUR TEAM IN TERMS OF WHAT WERE SOME FOLKS THAT YOU THOUGHT OTHER COLLEGES THAT YOU THOUGHT WERE COMPARABLE BUT THEN WHAT WERE THE ASPIRATIONAL EITHER DISTRICT OR COLLEGES THAT YOU THOUGHT WE SHOULD COMPARE CERRITOS TO.
WE LOOKED AT TRENDS IN HIGHER ED WITHIN CALIFORNIA AND A VARIETY OF THINGS WE DID REALLY FROM AN IT ASSESSMENT SO THAT WE HAD GOOD UNDERSTANDING AND FOUNDATION FOR TECHNOLOGY WITHIN CERRITOS.
WE INTERVIEWED A VARIETY AND WE HAD IT STAFF, WE HAD END USERS, AND WE HAD STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN A SURVEY.
WE DID INTERVIEWS AS WELL WITH VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS.
WE COLLECTED A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION FROM YOUR IT TEAM.
WE LOOKED AT YOUR EDUCATION MASTER PLAN.
WE LOOKED AT YOUR FACILITIES MASTER PLAN AND WE USED THAT TO HELP IN GUIDING TO SET AN I T STRATEGY.
TO DEVELOP THE I T MASTER PLAN, OBVIOUSLY THOSE ARE THINGS WE'RE SHARING THIS EVENING AND THEN FROM THAT, REALLY YOUR TEAM THEN TAKES IT AND OPERATIONALIZES IT TO SAY WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC DETAILS, PROGRAMS, INITIATIVES WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT, WHAT ARE RESOURCES REQUIRED AND MAPPING THEM OUT.
WE DID TAKE THE IT MASTER PLAN AND LOOK AT WHAT SHOULD WE BE FOCUSED ON FOR YEAR ONE AND WE WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU THIS EVENING AS WELL.
SO THIS REALLY GIVES YOU THE CONTEXT FOR HOW WE DID THE PLANNING.
FROM THERE, JUST SO YOU'LL HAVE THE PRESENTATION SO YOU CAN REVIEW LATER.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO EACH OF THE BACKGROUND SLIDES IN DETAIL OBVIOUSLY
[00:20:05]
ON ALL THE SLIDES THIS EVENING.BUT WE LOOKED AT AS I SAID A VARIETY OF TRENDS.
MARKET RESEARCH AND TRENDS THEY HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR.
WHEN WE DID OUR PLANNING THE MOST RECENT INFORMATION THEY HAD WAS FROM 2019.
AS I SAID, WE LOOKED AT TRENDS WITHIN THE CALIFORNIA HIGHER ED SYSTEM AND WHAT IMPLICATIONS THOSE MIGHT HAVE FOR CERRITOS.
AGAIN THEY WERE TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT OR NINE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS.
COMMUNITY COLLEGES, CITY COLLEGES, ET CETERA THAT WE LOOKED AT VARYING SIZES TO GET SOME INFORMATION THAT AGAIN JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ARE THERE SOME SIMILARITIES? ARE THERE THINGS WE CAN LEARN FROM THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS? AND WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE ONE OF KEY TAKE AWAYS WAS SOME HAD BUILT A PLAN FIVE YEARS AGO.
SOME YOU KNOW THEIR PLAN WAS COMING OUT OF DATE LET'S SAY BUT THEY HAD A LOT OF SIMILAR INITIATIVES TO THOSE WE IDENTIFIED FOR CERRITOS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I THINK IT MEANS YOU'RE ALL DEALING WITH VERY SIMILAR ISSUES THAT YOU NEED TO ADDRESS FROM AN IT MASTER PLANNING PERSPECTIVE.
AS I SAID, WE TALKED TO AND SURVEYED A NUMBER OF PEOPLE CROSS SECTION OF FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS TO TRY AND GET INFORMATION THAT WE COULD USE TO PAINT THE PICTURE OF WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENT AND WHAT DO WE REALLY, WHERE ARE YOU AT NOW TO HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF HOW DO WE BUILD A PLAN TO TAKE US TO THREE, FOUR, YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
AND SO PART OF WHAT WE DID WAS FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE, THE PROCESS, AND THE TECHNOLOGY.
A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU LOOK AT AN ASSESSMENT, YOU ONLY FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY, BUT YOU KNOW, THINGS AROUND PEOPLE FROM A COMMUNICATIONS AND STAFF RESOURCE STANDPOINT.
PROCESSES, HOW YOU GO ABOUT DELIVERING SERVICES.
AND THEN FINALLY THE TECHNOLOGY ITSELF.
FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE A LOT OF THAT WAS FOCUSED ON WIRELESS AND CAPABILITIES THAT YOU HAVE AND WHETHER THEY'RE CONSISTENT ACROSS EVERY CLASSROOM WITHIN THE DISTRICT.
THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT MANUAL PROCESSES.
YOU'RE BLESSED TO HAVE A VARIETY OF SOFTWARE PACKAGES, BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TOO MANY.
IT'S HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE ONE THAT BEST MEETS THE NEEDS AND NOT HAVE OVERLAPPING SOFTWARE ACROSS THE CAMPUS.
SO REALLY WHAT WE DID THEN FROM THERE IS NOW THAT WE HAD A GOOD PICTURE, WE'RE ABLE TO NOW CREATE THE I T MASTER PLAN.
AND A GOOD PLAN STARTS OFF WITH A VISION, AND FOR CERRITOS, THE VISION FOR TECHNOLOGY IN THIS COULD BE LOOKING OUT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, YOU'RE LOOKING DOWN AND SAYING, IT IS SAYING WE DELIVER COMPREHENSIVE AND SECURE INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AND SOLUTIONS THAT ENABLE INSTITUTIONAL AND OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE, ENABLE STUDENT AND CAREER SUCCESS, AND ENHANCE ALL ASPECTS OF THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE.
THAT STATEMENT IS GOING TO GUIDE EVERYTHING ELSE WITHIN THE PLAN AND IT SHOULD ALSO GUIDE HOW YOU'RE MAKING INVESTMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY SO THAT IT REALLY DICTATES WHERE YOU WANT TO END UP.
HOPEFULLY AT THE END OF THE PLAN, YOU'RE ACTUALLY SAYING THIS AFFIRMATIVELY THAT THIS IS THE ENVIRONMENT WE HAVE INSTILLED ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
SO WITH THAT, AS OUR VISION WE THEN HAD BASED ON ON ALL THIS INFORMATION, THEY WERE FOUR KEY THINGS DRIVING GOALS THAT REALLY STUCK OUT ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE.
ONE AND SURVEY RESULTS AND SOME OF THOSE FINDINGS IN THE ASSESSMENT REALLY SET THE STAGE FOR THIS.
GOAL ONE IS AROUND OPTIMIZING IT SERVICE DELIVERY.
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES ON THAT.
GOAL TWO, AND MAYBE THEY'RE NOT NUMBERED IN TERMS OF PRIORITY.
SO I COULD SAY A, B, C, D IF I WANT AS WELL.
[00:25:01]
THE NEXT ONE IS ON ENHANCING IT GOVERNANCE.HOW DO WE GO ABOUT MAKING DECISIONS? WHO IS INVOLVED IN MAKING THE DECISIONS? IS IT AS TRANSPARENT AS IT POSSIBLY CAN BE? THEN WE LOOK AT CYBER SECURITY.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE ENVIRONMENT, THE WORLD AND YOUR COLLEGE IS IN, CYBER SECURITY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.
WE'RE CONDUCTING OUR BOARD MEETING REMOTELY.
YOUR STAFF ARE WORKING REMOTELY.
YOU'RE DOING ONLINE LEARNING ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND SO WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ON MAKING SURE WE'RE IMPROVING OUR CYBER SECURITY POSTURE.
OUR FOURTH AREA IS SAYING HOW DO WE ALIGN ALL OF OUR SOLUTIONS TO MEET THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF THE CONSTITUENTS THAT WE HAVE THAT INCLUDE STUDENTS? FACULTY, ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPPORT NEEDS.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIGHLIGHT THOSE.
NEXT WE SET SOME GUIDES PRINCIPLES.
HOW IS IT GOING TO OPERATE TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE GOALS THAT WILL MOVE US TOWARDS THE VISION THAT WE HAVE SET? THERE ARE FOUR PILLARS TO THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES.
UNDER PEOPLE AND MAYBE JUST IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HAVING UNIFORM ACCESS TO THE IT SKILLS AND RESOURCES ACROSS THE COLLEGE IS A FUNDAMENTAL THING.
COMMUNICATIONS, THE GLASS BULLET UNDER PEOPLE IS VERY STRATEGIC AND HOW WE DRIVE THE IT ORGANIZATION.
MAKING SURE WE, IT'S TRANSPARENT AND WE KNOW NOT EVERYONE CAN PARTICIPATE.
SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE THEN OF WHAT WITHIN THE IT ORGANIZATION AND EXTERNAL TO IT.
GOVERNANCE, I MENTIONED OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE ONE OF GOALS FOCUSED ON THAT.
BUT HOW CAN IT, WE NEED TO BE FLEXIBLE AND NIMBLE.
WE HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES WE KNOW THAT.
SO, HOW DO WE MANAGE THOSE FROM AN ORGANIZATIONAL, FINANCIAL AND TECHNOLOGY PERSPECTIVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ANTICIPATING THE NEEDS OF OUR CONSTITUENTS? UNDER SERVICE DELIVERY, THINK A KEY ONE, A COUPLE OF THEM ARE THE TRANSPARENCY AGAIN AND CONSISTENCY, THE THIRD BULLET.
AND THEN WE LISTEN TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND WE'RE WILLING TO DO THE RIGHT THING THE RIGHT WAY TO MEET CUSTOMER NEEDS.
THAT'S A KEY ONE UNDER SERVICE DELIVERING.
THE ONE WE WANT TO FOCUS ON UNDER CYBER IS THE FACT THAT EVERYONE HAS SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR SECURITY.
SECURITY IS NOT AN IT-ONLY THING.
IF WE'RE WORKING REMOTE, WE CLICK ON A LINK THAT WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY THAT HAS IMPLICATIONS ACROSS THE COLLEGE AND SO WE WANT TO DO AS MUCH STAFF AWARENESS AS WE CAN AND THESE TIMES AND ALL TIMES TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE AWARE OF THAT AND UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.
SO FROM THERE, I WANT TO JUST SPEND A FEW MINUTES DELVING IN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER ON EACH GOAL.
THE FOUR GOALS WE HAD FROM FOUR TO SIX STRATEGIC PRIORITIES.
AGAIN, IF WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ON THESE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES, IF WE'RE ACCOMPLISHING THEM, THEY WILL MOVE US FORWARD ON THE GOAL WITH THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES AND BELIEFS THAT WILL THEN BE MOVING US TOWARD THE VISION THAT THE IT MASTER PLAN HAS SET.
SO UNDER OPTIMIZING IT SERVICE DELIVERY, WE TALK ABOUT PROJECT MANAGEMENT, WE TALK ABOUT MANAGING SERVICES BUT ALSO ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT.
MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT STAFF AND IF WE DON'T, DO WE THEN HAVE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT ARE BROUGHT IN, MAYBE FOR JUST A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME TO HELP US MOVE A PROJECT FORWARD.
AND SO WE LOOK AT THAT AS THERE IS TO OPTIMIZE THE WAY WE'RE DELIVERING SERVICES.
UNDER GOVERNANCE THE KEY PRIORITY IS FUNDING.
ALL OF OUR INTERVIEWS AND SURVEY DATA SAID PLANNING IS GREAT, BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE FUNDING, THEN HOW IS IT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD?
[00:30:05]
WHAT WE WERE CAREFUL TO DO AS PART OF THE PROCESS IS NOT MAKE IT A PANACEA WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE UNLIMITED FUNDING AND IF YOU COULD DREAM, LET'S JUST DO EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN.IT'S GOT TO BE SET AND GROUNDED WITH WHAT DO WE HAVE AVAILABLE HERE AT CERRITOS COLLEGE? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? WE NEED THE IT PLANNING PRIORITIZATION AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION.
WE NEED TO THEN ALLOCATE AND PRIORITIZE OUR RESOURCES AND LET PEOPLE PARTICIPATE SO THEY KNOW HOW WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS ON WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN YEAR ONE? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN YEAR TWO, THREE, AND BEYOND? THOSE ARE KEY.
I GOT TO TELL YOU WE HEARD PROBABLY IN EVERY SESSION ACCESSIBILITY IS OBVIOUSLY CRITICAL.
YOU HAVE MANDATES AROUND THAT AND THE STRATEGY, THE GOVERNANCE ON WHO IS INVOLVED IN SETTING THAT STRATEGY AND MAKING DECISIONS AND THEN HOW TO YOU EXECUTE YOUR PLAN AROUND ACCESSIBILITY IS A REAL KEY AROUND THIS WHOLE GOVERNANCE CONCEPT.
FROM THERE, WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT CYBER SECURITY BEING SO IMPORTANT.
WE FEEL, WE SAY CYBER SECURITY OFFICE.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT FUNDING 10 OR 20 PEOPLE IN AN OFFICE.
THE IDEA IS YOU HAVE STRUCTURE BEHIND IT.
YOU HAVE A PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR CYBER SECURITY WITH THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE PUT IN PLACE THAT YOU ACTUALLY DO HAVE A CYBER SECURITY PROGRAM THAT OTHERS CAN SEE THAT YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS SECURE IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO IS BUILT AROUND SECURITY.
AND MAKING SURE IT'S AS SECURE AS POSSIBLE.
AND FINALLY, THE FOURTH GOAL WAS ABOUT ALIGNING THE SOLUTIONS AND THE IDEA THAT YOU LOOK AT IT ENTERPRISE WIDE, AND I MENTIONED UNDER THE ASSESSMENT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WITH ALL THESE SOFTWARE PACKAGES, THE IDEA WE CALL IT OPTIMIZATION AND RATIONALIZATION.
FIGURING OUT THROUGH A RUBRIC WHAT ARE THE BEST SOLUTIONS WE SHOULD HAVE.
IT MIGHT BE MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS BUT LET'S MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE AND LET'S MAKE SURE MAYBE WE GET RID OF THE APPLICATION THAT AREN'T SERVING THE PURPOSE OR ANOTHER ONE IS BETTER SERVING THE COLLEGE.
FROM THERE, WE ACTUALLY THEN SET STRATEGIC INITIATIVES, AND WE LOOKED AT THEM FROM THREE CATEGORIES.
WHAT WAS THE IMPACT THAT IT WOULD HAVE ON THE COLLEGE? WHAT IS THE URGENCY? MEANING IS IT SOMETHING THAT'S A FEDERAL OR STATE MANDATE OR IS THIS INITIATIVE REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE THE COLLEGE'S EDUCATION MASTER PLAN OR STRATEGIC GOALS, SUPPORTING WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO WITH FACILITIES SO THAT RAISES IT UP FROM URGENCY AND THEN IMPACT IS GOING TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT OBVIOUSLY ON THE COLLEGE AND THEN EFFORT.
HOW MUCH TIME AND RESOURCES ARE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT THIS INITIATIVE.
SO WITH THAT, WE HAD OH, PROBABLY 60 PLUS INITIATIVES THAT WERE CREATED AS A PART OF THIS PLAN.
AND WE KNEW OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THOSE OR HALF OF THOSE IN A ONE-YEAR TIME SPAN.
WHAT WE TRIED TO DO IS WHAT ARE THE BASE FOUNDATIONAL IT INITIATIVES YOU REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON IN EACH OF THE FOUR GOALS? SO WE HAVE SOME UNDER SERVICE DELIVERY, SOME ARE PROJECTS THAT WERE ALREADY UNDER WAY, AND WE'RE SAYING THESE SHOULD BE COMPLETED.
SOME MAYBE NEW AND YOU SEE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, THE DOLLAR SIGN IS THE LEVEL OF EFFORT.
THE URGENCY IS WHETHER THEY WERE HIGH, MEDIUM OR LOW.
MOST OF HIGH IMPACT EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE WHERE WE DENOTED THEM OFF TO THE SIDE.
AND THEN YOU SEE ON GOAL TWO, UNDER GOVERNANCE ACCESSIBILITY, FUNDING.
COMMUNICATIONS WERE KEY THERE.
UNDER GOAL THREE, WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT CYBER SECURITY, GOAL FOUR, REALLY HAS TO DO WITH LOOKING AT THIS WHOLE ENTERPRISE APPLICATION MANAGEMENT AND
[00:35:04]
MAKING SURE WE HAVE A SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE US FORWARD.HOW DO WE STRATEGIC SOURCING IS ABOUT IF YOU ARE USING OUTSIDE VENDORS OR RESOURCES OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN STAFF, DO WE HAVE AGAI A WAY TO GRADE THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE BROUGHT IN AND WE HAVE A REAL PLAN FOR WHO WE USE.
IF THEY'RE NOT DOING THE JOB, WE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE WE CAN WORK WITH AND WE ACTUALLY BUILD UP A RELATIONSHIP PROGRAM WITH STRATEGIC PARTNERS IF YOU WILL.
SO THIS LAYS THE FOUNDATION IN YEAR ONE A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
GOVERNANCE RELATED THAT SETS THE STAGE FOR YEARS TWO, THREE AND FOUR.
SO I THINK THAT WAS REALLY WHAT WE WANTED TO COVER WITH YOU THIS EVENING.
WE HAVE AND I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE, WE COVERED THIS NOW.
WE HAD COUPLE OF IT FORUMS. PROBABLY HAD 50 OR 60 PEOPLE IN THOSE.
WE HAD VERY GOOD PARTICIPATION AND I COMMENDED YOU KNOW EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AND YOU AS THE BOARD GUIDING THE COLLEGE ON CONTINUING THIS PROCESS REMOTELY YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY NOT THE SAME AS BEING THERE IN PERSON BUT CLOSE.
YOU NOW KNOW AT LEAST VIRTUALLY WHO I AM.
AND WE CAN DO THE VIRTUAL HANDSHAKE.
I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME THIS EVENING TO HEAR THIS AND AGAIN, I THANK THE LEADERSHIP OF THE COLLEGE AND THE IT STAFF ON REALLY ALL THEIR SUPPORT IN HELPING US GET TO THIS POINT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A SMAL EFFORT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH MARVIN, APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME OF SPENDING A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR EVENING WITH US.
THIS IS AS I SAID IN A COUPLE PREVIOUS OCCASIONS, VERY INFORMATIVE.
SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN OBVIOUSLY NEEDING IN OUR CAMPUS AND IS BECOMING A LITTLE MORE EVIDENT NOW THAT WE HAVE TO ESSENTIALL DO ALL OF OUR WORK USING OUR T INFRASTRUCTURE SO.
BEFORE I PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT AS TO HOW WE GET HERE AND WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF IMPLEMENTATION, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK OUR BOARD PRESIDENT, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS FROM HER OR ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS?
THERE CAN DOCTOR, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? THIS IS JUST, LET'S SEE IT'S A PRESENTATION BUT THERE'S ALSO AN ITEM RELATED TO IT.
>> WE WOULD TAKE THE ITEM RIGHT NOW.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ON THE PRESENTATION? DO YOU SEE ANYBODY?
SO WITH THAT, THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND CONCLUDE THIS ITEM AND TAKE ITEM 5.05.
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MASTER PLAN.
SO WE WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT ITEM NOW FOR CONSIDERATION.
ANY QUESTIONS, AGAIN, MR. SAUER IS HERE.
IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 5.05.
>> I HEARD SHIN MOVE AND ZURICH SECOND.
SO THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS ITEM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION MR. SAUER AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YEAR ONE OF THE PLAN.
SO PROBABLY GOING TO MOVE NOW ON TO ITEM 2.02.
ANOTHER INSTITUTIONAL PRESENTATION ON EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.
WE WILL LEAD ANDREA SET THAT ITEM UP AND THE PRESENTER IS GOING TO BE MR. CRAIG
[00:40:08]
CARTER FROM WEST COAST ITEM 2.02.THIS IS CRAIG CARTER FROM WEST COAST CONSULTING INCORPORATED, THE COLLEGE CONTRACTED WITH WEST COAST TO PUT TOGETHER EMERGENCY PLAN AND THE APPROPRIATE TRAINING IN KEEPING WITH THE PP3505 AND BEING PREPARED.
WE WORKED WITH CHIEF GALVAN AND MR. LOPEZ ON GETTING THIS PREPARED AND READY TO GO.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVER VIEW.
CHIEF OR MR. LOPEZ, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY BEFORE I GET STARTED?
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT WHETHER OR NOT DO YOU HAVE THIS ON YOUR COMPUTER WHERE YOU CAN SHARE YOUR SCREEN?
>> YES, I DO, LET ME PULL THAT UP.
SO, I HAVE THE OTHER SCREEN UP THERE.
BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS A TIMELINE OF, SORRY I'M GOING TO GET RIGHT BACK TO THE PRESENTATION.
A TIMELINE WHERE WE STARTED IN NOVEMBERÂ 2019 CONTRACTING WITH WEST COAST.
WE HAVE CONTRACTED WITH TRAINING, CRITICAL ICS TRAINING FOR CRITICAL MEMBERS AND GENERAL MEMBERS AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL.
AS WELL AS AN ONLINE OR EXCUSE ME, IN-PERSON MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS ASSESSMENT WHICH WE DID.
WE ALSO MET WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN FEBRUARYÂ 11TH WITH DSPNS STAKEHOLDERS REGARDING INCORPORATING EMPLOYEE GUIDELINES AND EVACUATION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND OPENING UP A SECOND GENERAL SESSION FOR THE ICS 100 AND 700 AND ONLY EMERGENCY PLAN.
JUST A QUICK REMINDER, THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE HAS A TRAINING MATRIX FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL THAT WOULD BE CALLED UPON TO BE ACTING IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCY.
WE GO THROUGH THAT MATRIX AND COVER THAT WITH THE COLLEGE AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE APPROPRIATE TRAINING ON BOARD.
THAT FIRST TRAINING WAS ICS 100, 200, 700 AND 800.
FOR CRITICAL PERSONNEL AND EASILY DEFINED WITH A ROLE IN THE EOC OR THE FIELD.
THOSE CRITICAL PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THESE ICS CLASSES WE OFFER ONLINE.
WE OPENED IT UP FOR ONE MONTH.
THEN WE MOVED INTO THE GENERAL INDIVIDUALS.
ANYBODY THAT MIGHT HELP TO EVACUATE OR LOCK DOWN TO STUDENTS.
THAT WAS OPENED UP FOR ONE MONTH AS WELL.
WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT ON FEBRUARYÂ 4TH, WE TOOK A LOOK AT YOUR ON-SITE MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEM AND FOR TWO DIFFERENT MEETINGS, WE TALKED TO INDIVIDUALS AND TOOK A LOOK AT WHAT THE COLLEGE HAS IN PLACE.
OVERALL, CERRITOS HAS A VERY GOOD EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND WILL IMPROVE AS THE RAVE GUARDIAN SYSTEM IS UPGRADED.
OFFICE AND COLOR ALERT SIGNS AND E-MAIL AND TEXT MESSAGING, THIS IS A VERY ROBUST SYSTEM.
WE DO A LOT OF WORK WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE THIS MUCH NOTIFICATION IN PLACE.
THE MEETING I HAD THERE IN FEBRUARYÂ 11TH WITH MR. LOPEZ AND CHIEF GALVAN AND WE MET WITH SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE DSPS STAKEHOLDER SAYS REGARDING THAT PUTTING INFORMATION INTO THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN THAT THEY FELT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR THEM IN THE EVENT OF AN EVACUATION OR EMERGENCY ON CAMPUS.
AS A RESULT OF THAT MEETING, WE MADE CHANGES TO THE PLAN AND BROUGHT THOSE CHANGES BACK TO THE COLLEGE FOR APPROVAL.
AGAIN, ONLINE TRAINING WITH GENERAL PERSONNEL IS GOING TO OPEN UP AGAIN APRILÂ 1ST THROUGH 30TH.
I DID AN ONLINE PRESENTATION FOR THE EMERGENCY OPERATION PLAN OVERVIEW AND A DEMO OF THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN AND I WILL DO THAT AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.
THIS MEETING TONIGHT WITH THE BOARD IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE CONTRACTED TO DO.
[00:45:03]
AND THEN WE'RE PREPARING FOR A TABLE TOP.OBVIOUSLY WITH THE COVID-19, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THAT OFF.
THAT WAS MEANT TO GET PEOPLE IN THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER COMFORTABLE AND READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY.
WE RUN A PREPARATION FOR THE TABLE TOP AND THEN A TABLE TOP.
THERE'S A HIGH SUCCESS RATE AND THEY FEEL GOOD HOW THEY EXERCISE THIS.
AND THEN IN THE FALL, SOME TIME AFTER ALL THIS GOES AWAY, WE CAN GET INTO THE 300, 400, WHICH IS IN-PERSON TRAINING.
WE WILL COME UP THERE AND DO THAT FOR THE STAFF MEMBER THAT IS NEED THE ICS 300 AND 400 TRAINING.
I WILL NOW GO ON TO THE ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.
THAT PLAN WAS CUSTOM MADE FOR CERRITOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
AND YOU SEE THAT ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING.
THIS PLAN IS VERY INTUITIVE AND AS YOU CAN SEE, EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS YOU CAN CLICK ON IT, IT WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT TO IT.
WHAT WE ALWAYS START OFF WITH THIS IS BLUE TAB AT THE TOP.
>> CRAIG, WE CAN'T SEE THE PLAN.
THAT PLAN NOW HAS THIS BLUE BUTT ON HERE THAT TAKES YOU TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WILL BE WHEN YOU GO TO THE EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER.
THE WAY WE DESCRIBED THE PLAN, YOU WALK IN THE DOOR, YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON IN CHARGE REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOUR AREA OF EXPERTISE.
EVERYBODY WHO WALKS INTO THE DOOR FIRST IS THE EOC MANAGER.
YOU CLICK ON EOC MANAGER AND TAKES YOU TO THAT MAKE.
ALL OF THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES.
FIRST PERSON IN THE DOOR CAN START OPERATING THE EOC AND INITIATING PROTOCOLS TO MAKE SURE IT'S SUCCESSFUL.
ALL BOARD MEMBERS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS.
THE TABLE OF CONTENTS IS WHERE I LIKE TO GO NEXT.
WHEREVER YOU DO AND WHEREVER YOU CLICK, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY GO RIGHT TO THAT INDIVIDUAL'S AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY AND I WILL GO TO SECTION 4 DOWN HERE IN THE OPERATIONS SECTION.
AND THAT OPERATIONS CHIEF POSITION WHERE THEY STAND WITHIN THE EOC AND THEN THEIR GOALS, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE.
WHAT BRANCHES MIGHT BE UNDERNEATH THEM.
IT REALLY WORKS OUT WELL AS FAR AS MAKING SURE THAT IF YOU'RE IN THE EOC AND REALLY NEVER HAVE LOOKED AT THE PLAN, AS LONG AS YOU KNOW AT LEAST WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO, IF YOU CLICK ON IT, WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU THERE.
I WILL COVER ONE ON THIS AREA.
IS THAT WE HAVE A BUNCH OF AREAS WHERE YOU HAVE AREA SPECIFIC EMERGENCIES THAT HELP GET THROUGH A PROGRAM, FOR INSTANCE WE ALL KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE EARTHQUAKE COMING UP SOME TIME SOON.
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER ACTIVATED? THESE ARE THE THINGS WE RECOMMEND YOU THINK ABOUT WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO MITIGATE THE EARTHQUAKE OR EMERGENCY YOU HAVE.
AND THEN AT THE VERY BOTTOM HERE, WE HAVE SPECIFIC TO THE COLLEGE, WE HAVE EVACUATIONS.
DIFFERENT EVACUATION MAPS, WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO.
WHAT TO DO IF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES SO WE CAN HELP MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE SAME HELP THEY NEED.
THIS IS THE SECTION DAVE HELPED DRAFT WITH ME.
SO IT REALLY DOES PUT THE ENTIRE PLAN AT YOUR FINGER TIPS.
THE PLAN ITSELF AS A HARD COPY IS FOUR TO FIVE INCHES THICK.
YOU CAN RUN THIS ON YOUR SMART PAD, IPHONE OR COMPUTER.
THIS IS A PIECE WEST COAST CONSULTING PUT TOGETHER FOR THE COLLEGE AS WELL.
AT THIS POINT, I WILL KEEP IN MY TIME, I WILL SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO COVER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES OR ANYBODY ELSE? ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.
I HAD A QUICK QUESTION REGARDING THE TRAINING.
[00:50:01]
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN TRAINING ALL EMPLOYEES.IS THAT A REQUIREMENT FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE TO COMPLETE THEIR LEVEL OF TRAINING?
>> IT IS A REQUIREMENT AS FAR AS THE CHANCELLOR'S CONCERNED.
WHERE WE ALWAYS LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE HIT THIS HOME.
IS THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A DISASTER, AN EMERGENCY, YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT YOUR TRAINING RECORDS AND ASK YOU IS THE CRITICAL STAFF, THE ONES INVOLVED IN SOLVING THIS PROGRAM.
HAVE THEY GONE THROUGH THE ICS TRAINING AND THE ANSWER THERE, IF IT'S YES AND DOCUMENTED WELL, YOUR REIMBURSEMENT CHANCES ARE HIGH.
IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE TRAINING DONE, YOU MAY NOT GET REIMBURSED.
THE OTHER QUESTION WAS ON THE PANDEMIC PLAN, ON THE SECTION OF THE PLAN, WHAT DOES THAT INCLUDE?
>> IT KIND OF GIVES YOU, TRY TO FIND IT HERE.
JUST BASICALLY GIVES YOU BASIC THINGS YOU SHOULD BE DOING.
DIFFERENT AREAS THAT YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THE C.D.C. FOR GUIDANCE.
THE GOOD NEWS IF THERE IS GOOD NEWS WITH THE COVID-19 IS THAT EVERY EMERGENCY CENTER.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS REALLY LOOKING AT THIS PIECE.
AT CERRITOS, YOU COULD LOOK AT IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH SUPPLIES, IF YOU BECOME A SHELTER, RED CROSS SHELTER, THEY MIGHT ASK YOU FOR THAT.
THERE'S JUST A DIFFERENT THINGS YOU SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT AND MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE CONTACTING WITH THE C.D.C. AND THE STATE AS YOU GO THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.
TRUSTEE ESCOBAR HAS A QUESTION.
>> IS THIS AVAILABLE FOR ANY STUDENT ON CAMPUS?
>> COULD BE AVAILABLE AS WELL.
THE LOG-IN AND PASSWORD IS HOUSED BY THE COLLEGE SO THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION THAT I WOULD LEAVE WITH MR. LOPEZ AND CHIEF GALAVAN.
ALL EMPLOYEES WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS.
>> IT'S, ONE THING IS, IT'S SIMILAR TO OUR CURRENT EOP WHICH REQUIRES A DISTRICT LOGIN TO OPEN OUR CURRENT DOCUMENT.
NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS PLAN BUT RELATED TO THE SECURITY OF OUR FACILITIES.
I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN WE ORIGINALLY STARTED THIS DISCUSSION WAS BEING ABLE TO FOR ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES TO BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY LOCK THE DOORS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. I KNOW IT'S NOT DIRECTLY IN THIS PLAN, WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THAT?
>> ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH THAT?
>> IN RESPONSE TO OUR BOMB SCARE THAT WE HAD EARLIER IN THE YEAR, WE RETROFITTED, WE'RE ABOUT 95% RETROFITTED WHERE WE INSTALLED LOCKING MECHANISMS IN ALL OF THE CLASSROOMS. OUR GOAL FIRST WAS TO RETROFIT ALL THE CLASSROOMS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WE'RE STILL WORKING ON SOME OF OUR EXTERIOR DOORS THAT REQUIRED SPECIAL EQUIPMENT AND REQUIRED US TO DO SPECIAL ORDERS ON GETTING THAT.
BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR DOORS WERE RETROFITTED TO DO THAT, AND SO I CAN FOLLOW UP AND PROVIDE YOU A MORE DETAILED LISTING OF WHAT IS STILL OUTSTANDING ON THAT.
OUR STAFF REALLY JUMPED ON THAT REALLY QUICKLY AND RETROFITTED A NUMBER OF OUR BUILDINGS DURING THIS PROCESS.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL WHEN YOU HAVE TIME.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? AND DO WE HAVE, IS THERE AN APPROVAL RELATED TO THIS?
PERFECT JUST A RECEIVE WITHOUT INFORMATION.
WELL, I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
SO WE WILL GO AHEAD AND THANK WEST COAST CONSULTING.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING WORKING WITH THIS IMPORTANT WORK.
THANK YOU TO LEADERSHIP BECAUSE YOU'RE AT A VERY GOOD SPOT BECAUSE OF FELIPE, THE CHIEF AND EXECUTIVE BOARD.
>> I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK TOM GAVALAN.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE CHIEF AS WELL.
SO WE WILL GO AHEAD AND END THAT PART OF THE MEETING AND MOVE ON TO CONSENT ITEMS.
[3. Consent Items]
WHICH ARE ITEMS NUMBER 3.01 THROUGH 3.12.[00:55:04]
SO I WILL GO AHEAD AND ASK FOR A MOTION FOR APPROVAL FOR THE CONSENT CALENDAR.>> SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY TRUSTEE LEWIS.
>> AND WE HAVE SECOND BY DR. LIU.
WE WILL SEEING NO OBJECTIONS TO THIS APPROVAL.
WE WILL ASK MISS WITTIG TO COMPLETE A ROLL CALL VOTE.
WE WILL NOW MOVE TO ITEM 4.01.
UNDER INFORMATION ITEM SECTION.
THE REVISED MISSION STATEMENT.
[4. Information Items]

SO, ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM?
WE WILL RECEIVE AND FILE THAT ITEM.

THAT ITEM HAS ALSO BEEN RECEIVED AND FILED.
SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 5.01.
[5. Administrative Items]
AD MINISTRATIVE ITEMS. CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 20-0415 C ORDER OF BIENNIAL GOVERNING BOARD ELECTIONS.>> SO WE'RE BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION FOR YOUR APPROVAL TO HOLD ELECTIONS IN 2020.
WE NEED TO ESSENTIALLY APPROVE THESE.
NOTIFY THE LA COUNTY SUPERVISORS AND BEGIN DEVELOPING THE PROCEDURES TO PLACE THE DISTRICT ON THE BALLOT FOR NOVEMBERÂ 3R ELECTIONS.
WE HAVE FOUR SEATS THAT WILL BE UP FOR RE-ELECTION IN THIS YEAR IN NOVEMBERÂ 3RD, 2020.
>> SO THE RESOLUTION IS ATTACHED IN BOARD DOCS AND PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
SAME TYPE OF PROCEDURE WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ANY DISCUSSION? I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION MY TRUSTEE USE.
WE WILL HAVE FOR A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS ITEM.
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL FOR CANDIDATES FOR THE CCCT BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR 2020.
>> SO EVERY YEAR THERE IS A ROTATION ON POSITIONS FOR THE CCCT BOARD, WHICH IS A BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT THE STATE LEVEL.
WE ALREADY HAVE PARTICIPATION BY PRESIDENT PEREZ, I THINK SHE'S
[01:00:02]
BECOMING AN OFFICER THIS YEAR PRETTY SOON.THIS IS ESSENTIALLY FOR US TO ENDORSE ONE OF THE CANDIDATES PRESENTED ON THE ATTACHMENT FOR ONE OF NINE VACANCIES THAT SIT FOR THIS PARTICULAR ROUND.
SO FOR THE MOST PART, WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST IS PRESENT PICK ONE OF THE CANDIDATES FROM THE BALLOT AND SELECT IT FOR ENDORSEMENT.
ONE OF THE NINE OPENINGS IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD BY PRESIDENT PEREZ AND WHO IS AN INCUMBENT IN THIS ELECTION.
SO ELECTIONS WILL TAKE PLACE I THINK NEXT MONTH IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN.
USUALLY DONE BY THE DAY WE MEET ON TRUSTEES ANNUAL MEETING.
THIS YEAR THE MEETING WAS CANCELED.
I ASSUME IT WILL HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY.
WE GET TO SELECT NINE CANDIDATES.
I JUST GLANCED QUICKLY AT THE LIST.
I WOULD LIKE TO OF COURSE SUPPORT THE INCUMBENTS AND THEN THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR THREE OTHER PEOPLE.
SO DO YOU WANT ME TO READ THE NAMES OR CAN EVERYBODY SEE THEM.
THE FIRST NAME IS ADRIAN GRAY.
BARBARA NORTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT.
BARBARA GENE CALHOUN, COMPTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
SOUTH ORANGE COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT.
MARISSA PEREZ, CERRITOS COLLEGE.
[INAUDIBLE] DERRICK SNAIL, SANTA MONICA COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
THE INCUMBENTS ARE ANDREA HOFFMAN, PAM HAYNES.
>> SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OF ANYBODY ELSE WHO THEY WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL? DR. LIU.
>> THIS IS MARTHA CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD BARBARA CALHOUN FROM COMPTON COLLEGE.
ANYTHING ELSE TRUSTEE CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ?
>> I HAPPENING IF YOU JUST REPEAT THE COLLEGES OF THOSE THAT ARE ON THE LIST, THEN
I CAN KIND OF REMEMBER DETAIL ABOUT -- >> OKAY.
SO, WE HAVE ADRIAN GRAY, [INAUDIBLE] ANDREA HOFFMAN, LOS.
YOU'RE PROPOSING ANDREA HUFFMAN FOR NOMINATION.
BARBARA, COMMUNITY AT NORTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT.
[01:05:02]
[INAUDIBLE] COMPTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE.THOMAS PENDERGRASS, SOUTH ORANGE.
[INAUDIBLE] MONTEREY PENINSULA.
>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, MARISA YOU'RE ON THE LIST.
>> I THINK THAT WAS THE ONLY CONCERN.
>> THEN CHOOSE THE OTHER NEARBY COLLEGES.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU, DR. LIU, IF YOU KNEW SUSAN LEE CHANG?
I THINK, SHE'S NEW RIGHT? SHE'S NEW.
AND I DON'T KNOW, I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU KNEW HER.
WE MET HER AT ONE OF THE -- >> OKAY.
SO THEN I THINK THEN THE MOTION WOULD BE THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE.
>> WE ARE CERRITOS COLLEGE WOULD VOTE TO NOMINATE ADRIAN GRAY.
BARBARA CALHOUN AND I WOULD SAY PROBABLY OUR NINTH ONE WOULD BE, I DON'T KNOW HER.
BARBARA DUNSHE FROM NORTH ORANGE BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR NEIGHBORS.
SO THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION THEN FOR APPROVAL.
AND TRUSTEE CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ, WOULD YOU SECOND THAT?
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
AND ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? CONDUCT A ROLL CALL VOTE, ESCOBAR.
TRUSTEE CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ, >> YES.
CONSIDERING OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 20-0415 E IN SENT OF DECLARING APRIL AS CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES MONTH.
WE SUPPORT OUR COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE STATE BY DECLARING CELEBRATING APRIL AS CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES MONTH.
I THINK THIS YEAR THE RESOLUTION IS MORE MEANINGFUL THAN EVER.
IN THE PAST AS WE HAVE TRANSITIONED TO SERVE THE STUDENTS, TO CONTINUE TO SERVE THE STUDENTS IN A NON-TRADITIONAL WAY WITH VERY, VERY LITTLE TIME AND NOT ONLY COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAS BEEN CONTINUING TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS BUT WE HAVE ACROSS THE STATE, BECOME A WAY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ACCESS SERVICES AS WE EXPERIENCE JUST FOR INSTANCE ON THE FOOD DRIVE AT CERRITOS COLLEGE.
I KNOW MANY OF OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE COUNTERPARTS ARE DOING SIMILAR THINGS NOT ONLY FOR THE STUDENTS BUT FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
SO THIS YEAR, THE RESOLUTION IN MY OPINION CARRIES MUCH HIGHER WEIGHT AS WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST BECAUSE COMMUNITY COLLEGES REALLY, REALLY HAVE A STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE TO SERVE NOT ONLY THE STUDENTS BUT OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY LIKE NO OTHER SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
SO, IF YOU CAN SWITCH BACK AND FORTH.
WILL BE HAPPY TO HAVE MISS WITTIG READ THE RESOLUTION FOR ALL OF US.
EVERYBODY IS PROBABLY OKAY WITH THE MESSAGE.
UNLESS ANYBODY IS REQUESTING IT, I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
WE WILL TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT.
SO TRUSTEE CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ MOVES AND SECOND.
[01:10:03]
SO WE WILL GO AHEAD AND TAKE A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THAT ITEM.
WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 5.04.
CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION TO RESOLUTION 20-0415 D IN SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY BILL 2910 GRANTING STATE WIDE RIGHTS TO STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS.
AND I WILL ASK DR. FIERRO AND TRUSTEE ESCOBAR TO OPEN DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM.
AND YES, THIS IS THE RESOLUTION AS STATED HERE TO SUPPORT ASSEMBLY BILL 2910 TO GIVE STATE WIDE RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCEEDINGS ON THE BOARD.
YOU MAY BE ASKING WHY SHE WOULD DO THAT RESOLUTION IF WE ALREADY DO THAT -- THOSE SORT OF THINGS.
AND IT SEEMS IT'S NOT WHAT WE EXPERIENCED AT CERRITOS COLLEGE WHAT HAPPENS ACROSS THE STATE IN ALL COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS FOR THE STUDENTS.
WE HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE SAME TYPE OF PRIVILEGES WITH OUR STUDENT TRUSTEES AND THE PARTNERSHIP HAS WORKED QUITE WELL OVER THE YEARS.
SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS BILL IS DOING IS GRANTING, YEAH IT WILL GRANT STUDENT TRUSTEES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE SAME TYPE OF RIGHTS THAT ALL THE STUDENT TRUSTEE VALERY ESCOBAR HAS IN OUR BOARD.
PARTICIPATING FULLY IN THE PROCEEDING OF THE BOARD.
AND TO PARTICIPATE FULLY WITH THE BOARD.
AND BEING COMPENSATED FOR HER SERVICES AS A TRUSTEE.
SO, THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY ANYTHING NEW IN OUR DISTRICT.
WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND WITH GREAT RESULTS.
THIS IS A WAY FOR US TO SUPPORT VALERY AND HER COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE DISTRICT TO HAVE SIMILAR PARTICIPATION.
TRUSTEE PEREZ AND I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN CONVERSATIONS REGARDING THESE PARTICULAR ITEMS ACROSS THE STATE.
WE BOTH HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE STATE.
THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WHICH OTHER TRUSTEES ACROSS THE STATE.
WE FEEL IT IS A GOOD MOVE TO ALLOW FOR THE STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETING IN THE SAME WAY THE VALERY PARTICIPATES IN OURS.
WE DON'T SEE NECESSARILY A DOWN SIDE OF ALL THE TRUSTEES HAVING THIS SAME TYPE OF ENGAGEMENT.
I'M SURE I FORGOT SOMETHING, TRUSTEE PEREZ YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD >> MOST OF THE OTHER STUDENT TRUSTEES WE HAVE A CAUCUS AND ACTUALLY MEET EVERY TWO WEEKS TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG ON THE BILL, AND TO SEE HOW EACH OTHER'S CAMPUS HAVE BEEN REACTING AND A LOT OF STUDENTS TRUSTEES DO CARE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
THEY DO CARE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEIR STUDENTS.
THE ONLY ISSUE IS THEY'RE NOT PROTECTED AS WELL.
SOME OF THE STUDENT TRUSTEES HAVE GONE HOMELESS.
SOME OF THEM HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING TO EAT.
I WOULD ASK ALL OF YOU TO GIVE THEM THE SAME CHANCE I HAVE HAD.
I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO BE A PART OF A BOARD THAT UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDENTS.
BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S NOT THE WAY ALL ACROSS CALIFORNIA.
SO I REALLY ASK FOR THE SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR. FIERRO AND TRUSTEE ESCOBAR.
[01:15:03]
I'M GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO ADD THIS TO THE AGENDA TODAY.THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING DISCUSSION FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS AT STATE WIDE LEVEL ON CCT BOARD, THE TRUSTEES BOARD.
WE HAVE A STUDENT TRUSTEE SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE AT OUR COLLEGE BOARD, AND HE THIS YEAR IS ELIJAH GERARD FROM SAN BERNARDINO COLLEGE.
HE IS THE VOICE OF THE STUDENTS ON THE BOARD.
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THE CAUCUS AS REALLY BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION.
TRUSTEE ESCOBAR -- THAT'S MY DAUGHTER.
TRUSTEE ESCOBAR IS CORRECT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING DISCUSSION AND REALLY COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE NOT 100% SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.
SO, I THINK I REALLY ASK FOR THE BOARD'S LEADERSHIP ON THIS.
I BELIEVE THAT OUR STUDENTS DESERVE ALL THE BENEFITS AND RIGHTS THAT WE ALL HAVE AS TRUSTEES AS ELECTED TO REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITY.
OUR TRUSTEES ARE LIKELY TO REPRESENT THE STUDENTS.
IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE A TRUSTEE AND I THINK THE STIPEND AND THE HEALTHCARE INSURANCE THAT WE PROVIDE IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD PROVIDE ACROSS THE STATE.
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THE COLLEGE'S LEADERSHIP ON THIS BY CONSIDERING APPROVAL.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT ALREADY SUPPORT TODAY DR. FIERRO.
WE HAVE NOT TAKEN A SUPPORT ON THIS AT THE LEAGUE.
WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME, THE LAST TWO TIMES WE TALKED ABOUT IT, IT'S LIKE WE WANT MORE INFORMATION.
IT'S MAINLY COMING FROM COLLEGES THAT DON'T OFFER THE RIGHTS TO THEIR STUDENTS.
AGAIN I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT LEADERSHIP ROLE THAT CERRITOS COLLEGE COULD TAKE ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENTS EVERYWHERE IN THE STATE.
SO WE DID NOT FIND ANY OTHER DISTRICTS ON THE SEARCH WE DID.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE NOT DOING IT OR WILL NOT.
WE PROBABLY WILL BE THE FIRST ONE OR ONE OF THE FIRST COLLEGES.
WE DID NOT FIND ANY OTHER DISTRICTS ON THE SEARCH WE DID.
WE TRIED TO FIND A SAMPLE RESOLUTION.
WE MADE IT FROM SCRATCH AND I USED IT AS THE TAKING CREDIT FOR THE WORK THAT ANDREA DID MOSTLY ON THAT RESEARCH AND THE RESOLUTION.
SO, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANY OTHER COLLEAGUES?
>> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION BUT I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE IT.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY TRUSTEE CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ.
>> AND DR. SALAZAR SECONDS THE MOTION.
WE WILL ASK FOR A ROLL CALL VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
WE MOVE ON TO, WE WENT AHEAD AND SKIP 5.05 AND MOVE ON TO ITEM 5.06.
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL FOR SABBATICAL LEAVE APPLICANTS FOR 2020-2021.
>> WE HAVE TWO FACULTY MEMBERS APPROVED BY THE FACULTY SENATE TO BE APPROVED FOR SABBATICAL FOR THE 2020-2021 ACADEMIC YEAR.
THE FIRST MEMBER IS DR. MICHELE DWELLING.
THE SECOND ONE IS DR. LYN SERVAN.
THEY BOTH WILL BE, THEY WILL BOTH BE REQUESTING FULL SABBATICALS FOR THE 2020 AND 2021 ACADEMIC YEARS.
MICHELE WILL DO WORK ON SOCIAL SCIENCES.
SHE IS A PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR AND LYNN WILL DO SUCCESS IN TRAVEL SPACES AS SHE FOCUSES ON OUR FIELD OF EXPERTISE IN ENGLISH.
[01:20:01]
BOTH ARE REQUIRED AND WERE APPROVED BY FACULTY SENATE FOR APPROVED YEAR OF SABBATICAL.SO, ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ANY COMMENTS? OKAY.
WE WILL GO AHEAD AND ASK FOR A MOTION FOR APPROVAL FOR THIS ITEM.
>> I DO ACTUALLY, SORRY, I HAVE A COMMENT.
>> I JUST WANTED TO SAY I THINK BOTH OF THESE ITEMS OR BOTH OF THE SUBJECTS FOR THIS SABBATICAL LOOK VERY PROMISING AND I'M EXCITED FOR THE PRESENTATIONS IN ABOUT A YEAR'S TIME.
THERE'S A MOTION BY TRUSTEE LEWIS.
>> SECONDED BY TRUSTEE CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ.
WHICH IS CONSIDERATION RATIFICATION OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CERRITOS COLLEGE AND COALITION FOR HUMANE RIGHTS.
>> I WILL ASK TRUSTEE PEREZ TO HELP ME.
>> WE HAVE ENTERED AGREEMENT AND PROVIDE SERVICES FOR OUR UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS.
THEY WILL BE HOUSED IN THE FALCON'S NEST WHEN THAT IS COMPLETED.
UNTIL THAT TIME WHEN WE GO BACK ON CAMPUS, THE SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED VIRTUALLY FOR STUDENTS.
WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING LEGAL SERVICES BY THE CAMPUS FUNDED BY ASCC AND HAPPY WE WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THIS COMMITMENT TO OUR STUDENTS.
SO DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM?
WE WILL ASK FOR MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
SO WE WILL GO AHEAD AND ASK FOR A ROLL CALL VOTE.
IS CONSIDERATION FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 20-0415 B.
AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF THE CERRITOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, 2020 GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS.
>> VICE PRESIDENT LOPEZ PLEASE.
THIS RESOLUTION WILL ALLOW US TO BEGIN TO LOOK AT SOME OF OUR BONDS THAT ARE OUTSTANDING FOR REFINANCING TO BE ABLE TO SHORTEN EITHER DEBT SERVICE OR SHORTEN AND ALSO SHORTEN TAXPAYER BURDEN ON THAT.
SO WE'RE LOOKING TO REFUND UP TO A MAXIMUM OF $55Â MILLION OF OUR PREVIOUS OUTSTANDING BONDS THAT ARE IN RELATED TO OUR MEASURES CC.
AUTHORIZATION AND SO THIS RESOLUTION JUST ALLOWS US TO BEGIN THAT PROCESS OBVIOUSLY WE ARE IN A UNSTABLE MARKET CURRENTLY AND SO WE HAVE BEEN, OUR FINANCING TEAM WHICH CONSISTS OF JOANNA BOAZ FROM KNN ALONG WITH OUR UNDER
[01:25:11]
WRITERS FROM MORGAN STANLEY AND OUR BOND COUNSEL FROM STRADDLING.WE HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE MARKET VOLATILITY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS ON THAT.
AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR IT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE HITTING THE MARKET AT THE RIGHT TIME TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL COST SAVINGS THAT WE CAN PASS TO OUR TAXPAYERS.
I THINK THE GOAL WE ARE LOOKING AT TO REFUND THESE BONDS SOMEWHERE IN WAY WE'RE PROBABLY TRYING TO PINPOINT A TIME IN MID MAY TO LATE MAY HOPEFULLY THAT WILL ALLOW THE MARKET TO CALM ITSELF.
IT'S ACTUALLY MOVING IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION, AND WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO SEE IT MOVE THAT WAY AND AGAIN, WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD THIS WOULD REQUIRE US TO GET A CREDIT RATING AND SO WE WOULD HAVE TO DO A SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE OUR, TO MEET WITH MOODY'S AND S&P TO GET OUR RATING.
ONCE WE PICK THAT, WE CAN PICK A DATE OR MONITOR THE DATE AND PLAN FOR THE BEST EXECUTION OF THESE REFINANCING THESE BONDS.
SO, THIS RESOLUTION JUST GIVES US THAT AUTHORIZATION TO BEGIN THAT PROCESS.
OBVIOUSLY, ONCE WE KNOW WHAT THE FINAL NUMBERS ARE, YOU KNOW WE WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT THAT BACK TO THE BOARD ON THOSE NUMBERS RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING HYPOTHETICALLY ON PRELIMINARY NUMBERS BASED ON CURRENT DATA THAT WE HAVE AND SO RIGHT NOW MARKET CONDITIONS LOOK TO DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF REFUNDING, WE'RE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT MODELS ON HERE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY HAVING A REFUNDING OF SAVING TAXPAYERS ANYWHERE FROM $5.5Â MILLION UP TO UPWARDS TO $10Â MILLION OF GROSS SAVINGS ON THESE BONDS.
WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION.
I HAVE JOANNA BOAZ, OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR IF SHE WANTS TO ADD ANYTHING I LEFT OUT.
QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF OUR COLLEAGUES?
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU VICE PRESIDENT LOPEZ, WHAT IS OUR OUTSIDE DATE IN WHICH WE HAVE IN TERMS OF OUR WINDOW WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS FOR THESE BONDS TO BE PLACED?
>> SO WE'RE LOOKING AT, IF I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY, WE'RE LOOKING TO ACCOMPLISH THROUGH IN RESOLUTION IS AN ABILITY TO TIME WHETHER WE FLOAT OUR BONDS, AND IN ORDER TO TIME GOOD INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD.
SO WHAT IS THE OUTSIDE DATE? I KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT MAY AS POTENTIAL TIME.
WHAT IS THE OUTSIDE DATE IN WHICH WE WOULD CONSIDER POINTING THE TRIGGER ON THIS?
>> TO ME IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YOU RIGHT.
>> SO JOANNA, YOU WANT TO JUMP IN ON THAT? YOU KNOW WE'RE -- IT'S GOING TO BE A THING WHERE WE COULD SET ON THAT AND NOT NECESSARILY PULL THE TRIGGER IF THE MARKET ISN' FAVORABLE IN MEETING A THRESHOLD THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
SO WE DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY REFUND FOR THE SAKE OF REFUNDING IF THE COST BENEFIT IS NOT THERE FOR US IF THE MARKET SHIFTS THE WRONG WAY.
WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT MAY AS HISTORICAL DATA AND OBVIOUSLY COVID THREW A MONKEY WRENCH INTO A LOT OF THINGS.
ONCE WE YOU KNOW SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE SOMEWHAT TARGET DATE IS AND TIME IN MAY.
WE DON'T HAVE A PINPOINT ON THAT.
[01:30:02]
IF IT GETS PUSHED TO JUNE, WE DEFINITELY WILL LOOK AT THAT AND THEN ULTIMATELY DECIDE TO GO YOU KNOW THIS RESOLUTION DOES NOT COMMIT US INTO DOING ANYTHING IF WE FEEL THAT THE MARKET CONDITIONS ARE JUST NOT FAVORABLE AT THIS TIME.AND WE MAY COME BACK TO, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS RESOLUTION IS ONLY GOOD FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO GO OUT TO MARKET AND IF WE EXCEED THAT, OBVIOUSLY WE BRING THAT BACK.
GOOD EVENING TRUSTEE BIRKEY, I THINK THAT'S CORRECT.
>> I WOULD ADD THAT THE MARKET HAS BEEN TUMULTUOUS.
THERE'S BEEN, I DON'T THINK, I KNOW.
THERE HAS BEEN ADJUSTMENTS ESPECIALLY WITH THE MOST RECENT DECISION OF THE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S PART OF THE SBA LOANS WHERE THE FED IS GOING TO BE GIVING MONEY DIRECTLY TO CERTAIN COUNTIES AND CITIES.
THEY WILL BE THE DISPENSERS OF MONEY TO OTHER AREAS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION.
THAT HAS GIVEN LIQUIDITY TO THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET, WHICH IS WHAT YOUR BONDS ARE.
TAX EXEMPT OVERALL AND WITH THAT RETURN OF LIQUIDITY IS THE RETURN OF INVESTOR INTEREST.
ONE OF PROBLEMS IS THERE WAS TREMENDOUS OUTFLOWS BY MUNICIPAL BONDS INCLUDING YOURS.
THAT WAS NOT ONLY BECAUSE CUSTOMERS PANICLED AND WENT INTO THE LIQUIDITIES AND GOT INTO SHORTER TERM LIQUID INSTRUMENTS AND BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE FUNDS WERE HEDGED.
THERE WAS A LOT GOING ON WITH FINANCIAL ENGINEERING WITHIN THE MUTUAL FUNDS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT AND YOU DON'T READ ABOUT THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL" OR "NEW YORK TIMES".
OUR WINDOW I WOULD SAY IS THROUGH JULY.
THE INVESTMENT BANKER AT MORGAN STANLEY WHO WORKED WITH THE DISTRICT IN THE PAST AND HAS VISITED WITH VICE PRESIDENT LOPEZ, WE TALK EVERY DAY ABOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO SELL BONDS AND HAVE THEM SIT THERE.
THERE ARE MANY, THERE ARE A COUPLE COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
I DON'T KNOW USDS ARE IN THE WINGS WAITING LIKE WE'RE WAITING.
PART OF THE ART WE'RE DOING, IF YOU WILL ALLOW THAT IS TO PICK OUR DAY THAT'S THE RIGHT DAY AND THE RIGHT MARKET SO YOU GET THE PRICE YOU WANT.
WE DON'T WANT TO BE THERE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE.
TOMORROW OUT THE BLUE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OUR STATE IS SELLING A BILLION DOLLARS OF GENERAL OBLIGATION FUNDS FOLLOWED BY STATE PUB WORKS BOARD.
SO THEY ARE TIMING THE MARKETS RIGHT.
I THINK WE'RE RETURNING AND WE WILL SEE WITHIN THE NEXT SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS A GOOD TIME TO DO IT.
WE MONITOR EVERY DAY WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT.
FELIPE WILL BE GIVING YOU UPDATES ON THAT.
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SUFFICIENTLY?
SOUNDS LIKE THE WINDOW OF TIME IS REALLY WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO, MAYBE THREE.
THAT'S SORT OF THE CONCEPTUAL WINDOW OF TIME THAT WE'RE -- OBVIOUSLY IT WILL ADJUST BASED ON CIRCUMSTANCES.
THAT'S WHAT I PICKED OUT AS AN ANSWER TO, A SIMPLIFIED ANSWER OF YOUR MORE DETAILED ANSWER.
>> THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE APPROVING TONIGHT GIVES US THE FLEXIBILITY TO JUMP INTO THE MARKET AT ANY TIME.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
>> SO ALL OF A SUDDEN IF IT'S NEXT WEDNESDAY.
IF IT'S NOT, MAYBE THE NEXT THURSDAY.
GIVES US THE ABILITY TO MOVE QUICKLY WHICH IS YOU NEED IN THIS MARKET.
ONCE WE APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GIVING YOU THE AUTHORITY TO DO.
ANY TIME WE SEE AN OPPORTUNE TIME, WHEREVER YOU SEE THAT, JUST LET THE BOARD KNOW.
THE REASON THAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE WINDOWS IS BECAUSE THE MARKET IS CRAZY.
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, WE WILL HAVE GOTTEN MORE.
A FEW WEEKS PRIOR WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN $10Â MILLION.
ESSENTIALLY THE RESOLUTION OPENS THE DOOR FOR US TO ENTER THE MASS MARKET,
[01:35:06]
LIQUIDATE THE BONDS BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE.AS LONG AS THE FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE TO THE DISTRICT.
IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO RECEIVE ANYTHING OR SAVE THE TAXPAYERS ANY MONEY, WE OBVIOUSLY WILL STAY OUT OF THE MARKET.
SO I WILL GO AHEAD AND ASK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM.
WE HAVE MOTION BY TRUSTEE LOSES AND SECOND BY TRUSTEE BIRKEY.
WE WILL ASK FOR A ROLL CALL VOTE SEEING NO OBJECTIONS.
WE WILL CONCLUDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS AND MOVE ON TO REPORTS AND
[6. Reports and Comments from District Officials]
EXTENTS FROM DISTRICT OFFICIALS.I WILL START WITH TRUSTEE LEWIS.
>> SO I WENT TO CONGRATULATE THE NEW MAYOR OF MY WONDERFUL CITY OF LA MIRADA.
I AM VERY GRATEFUL THAT THIS NEW EXPERIENCE AND THANK YOU TO HIM FOR TAKING THE COURAGE TO RUN; AND MAKING IT HAPPEN.
SO LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH MY FATHER AND MAKING CERRITOS COLLEGE THAT MUCH MORE PRESENT.
>> I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THE WORK BEING DONE ON CAMPUS.
WORK HAS BEEN NONSTOP AND EVERYONE IS DOING THE BEST WE CAN OBVIOUSLY.
THIS IS NOT IDEAL CONDITIONS, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A VARIATION OF OUR NEW NORMAL AT LEAST FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
SO WE'RE STARTING TO MAKE THE TRANSITIONS, THE PLANNING, THE INVESTMENTS NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE IN THIS FASHION.
MAY NOT BE 100% ONLINE BUT IT IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO BE HEAVILY RELYING ON TECHNOLOGY FOR US TO CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK.
YOU KNOW FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
EVEN IF WE WERE GOING TO EASE THE STAY AT HOME ORDERS.
WE GO TO SLEEP AT HOME, TOMORROW WE WAKE UP AND EVERYONE GOES BACK TO NORMAL.
WE ARE BEGINNING THE CONVERSATIONS OR PLANNING AND IT'S STARTING TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS IN ORDER TO ENHANCE OUR SERVICES CAPABILITIES SO EVERYONE CAN CONTINUE TO PERFORM THEIR DUTIES TO THEIR BEST ABILITIES AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE THAT WE HAVE SOME CHALLENGES CLOSING A COLLEGE OVERNIGHT AND OPENING IT THE NEXT DAY IN A DIFFERENT FASHION IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I THINK ANYONE OF US HAVE DONE BUT NOW WE CAN ALL CHECK THE BOX AND MAYBE NOT DO IT AGAIN.
BUT I THINK EVERYONE HAS DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB DOING THAT.
MY HOPE IS THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO OPERATE THIS WAY, WE GET BETTER EVERY DAY.
BECAUSE BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE SUMMER, WE SHOULD BE BETTER ON WHAT WE DID IN THE SPRING.
IN WHATEVER FASHION AS WE GET TO THE FALL, OR THE IMPLEMENTATION SHOULD CONTINUE TO IMPROVE.
NOT ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF OUR STUDENTS TO RECEIVE THE BEST EDUCATION AS THEY CAN BUT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES.
WHEN I SAY ALL, I MEAN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US BECAUSE EVEN DURING THIS CRISIS, I THINK IT HAS BECOME MORE APPARENT THE VALUE THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US BRING TO CERRITOS COLLEGE.
THE VALUE REGARDLESS CLASSIFICATION BRING TO CERRITOS.
[01:40:02]
SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE FRONT LINES THAT WE USUALLY DON'T SEE THE WORK THEY DO, ARE BECOMING THE M.V.P.S OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE THAT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE TO WORK.BECAUSE OF THAT, WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY LOOKING AND PLANNING AS TO HOW TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED GOING FORWARD.
AS I SAID, IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME AND PATIENCE BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT CHANGES AND ACQUIRE THE ASSISTANCE WE NEED TO ACQUIRE.
IT TURNS OUT THE LAPTOPS ARE BECOMING JUST AS SCARCE AS TOILET PAPER.
WE ARE TRYING DESPERATELY TO BUY ADDITIONAL LAPTOPS.
APPARENTLY, THEY ARE SOLD OUT QUICKLY.
APPARENTLY, TOILET PAPER AND CLEANING SUPPLIES ARE SELLING OUT.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR LAPTOPS FOR STUDENTS AS PLANS FOR REOPENING THE CAMPUS CONTINUE TO TAKE SHAPE, WE ARE MAKING PREORDERS AND WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR US TO GET OUR CLEANING SUPPLIES AND SANITATION STATIONS READY TO GO BY THE TIME WE GET TO REOPENING IN WHATEVER FASHION AS WE DO.
SO AGAIN I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE ON CAMPUS FOR THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE, AND I WANT TO THANK THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR BEING SUPPORTIVE AND FOR ALLOWING US TO THE POSSIBILITY TO WORK TOGETHER, TO SEND YOU IDEAS AND MOVE FORWARD AND DON'T DELAY WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE ISSUE THE SUPPORT AND THE ABILITY OF BOUNCING THINGS BACK WITH ALL OF YOU QUICKLY HAS BEE INSTRUMENTAL FOR US TO CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS.
>> I JUST WANT TO, I THINK DR. FIERRO AND ARE THINKING SAME THING.
I WANT TO THANK THE PEOPLE ON OUR CAMPUS.
PARTICULARLY THE DEANS WHO REALLY SPREAD OUT THE INFORMATION THAT CERRITOS CARES WHICH WAS A WEBSITE THAT WAS CREATED BY DR. PEREZ AND HEAR TEAM.
I REALLY WANT TO THANK DR. FIERRO FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF THE MEETINGS TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS.
IT JUST GIVES A LOT OF CLARITY TO ME AND A LOT OF OTHER STUDENTS AND I WANT TO THANK MY PROFESSORS FOR REALLY TRYING TO SHINE A LIGHT TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT DURING THIS TIME.
>> YEAH, I WANT TO THANK CONGRATULATE VALERY ON SUCH A GREAT YEAR.
I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE TRUSTEE LEWIS ON YOUR FATHER HAVING SUCH A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.
AND THEN ALSO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF OUR COLLEGE AND ALL THE WORK THAT FOLKS HAVE BEEN, HAVE PUT IN AND THE RISKS FOLKS HAVE TAKEN IN ORDER TO ENSURE PEOPLE ARE FED DURING THIS TIME ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
I APPRECIATE AS DO THE STUDENTS AND EVEN MORE DIRECT FASHION THE SACRIFICES THAT PEOPLE ARE TAKING TO LEARN NEW SKILLS, FOLKS THAT HOPE TO NEVER HAVE TO TEACH ONLINE SUDDENLY DECIDING TO STAY UP LATE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
SO, IT'S JUST AN AMAZING TIME TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE GO THE EXTRA MILE AND IT CAN'T GO UNSAID HOW MUCH THAT IS APPRECIATED.
JUST LIKE THE PROMISE, THE OFFICE OF HUMAN RESOURCES HAVE BEEN HAS BEEN VERY BUSY.
WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON GET THE EMPLOYEES TO COMPLETE MANDATORY TRAINING.
CALIFORNIA LAW MANDATES SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING FOR SUPERVISORS.
LATE IN 2018, THE GOVERNOR EXTENDED THE MANDATORY TRAINING REQUIREMENT TO ALL EMPLOYEES.
WE STARTED OUR TRAINING LAST FALL.
AND WE ARE SENDING REMINDER TO EMPLOYEES TO COMPLETE THE TRAINING.
IT'S ONE HOUR AND AVAILABLE ONLINE.
[01:45:01]
IN ADDITION TO THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING, WE ALSO CONDUCTING AS IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER DURING THE MEETING, THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANDATORY TRAINING DURING THE MONTH OF APRIL.TALKING ABOUT THE MONTH OF APRIL, APRIL IS THE SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH OR SAM, SAAM.
SAAM IS A NATIONAL EVENT THAT BRINGS AWARENESS TO ISSUES AROUND SEXUAL ASSAULT AND HARASSMENT.
IN COLLABORATION WITH DEPARTMENTS HAVE SCHEDULED WORKSHOPS AND ACTIVITIES DURING APRIL.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO VISIT OUR EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT CALENDAR TO SEE OUR SAAM ACTIVITIES.
I WANT TO GIVE ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY FOR THE FOOD DISTRIBUTION YESTERDAY.
IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE THE TURN OUT.
AS YOU SAW FROM THE PRESS RELEASES.
WE SERVED ALMOST 1300 COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STUDENTS, AND IT WAS AMAZING TO SERVE WITH OUR COLLEAGUES FROM FACILITIES, AS WELL AS CAMPUS POLICE AND OUR OWN TRUSTEE PEREZ ON THE FRONT LINES.
THANK YOU TO THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY FOR THAT SUPPORT.
WE DO HAVE ANOTHER FOOD DISTRIBUTION ON APRILÂ 29TH.
WE EXPECT THAT TO BE LARGER SO WELCOME AND INVITE ALL OF YOU TO ATTEND AND JOIN US.
IT WAS JUST A GREAT WAY TO INTERACT WITH THE COMMUNITY DURING THIS TIME.
I AM ALSO PROUD OF THE STUDENT SERVICES TEAM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CERRITOS CARES.
WE ARE SEEING STUDENTS UTILIZE IT.
THIS IS OUR FIRST STOP FOR ALL THINGS STUDENTS, SO STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO ASK QUESTIONS FOR ANYTHING THEY NEED.
WE DON'T WANT THEM HAVING TO HUNT AROUND TO GET QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
OUR STUDENT AMBASSADORS ARE STOCKING A ZOOM CHAT ROOM FROM 9:00Â A.M.
WE HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS GETTING ANSWERED BY MY OFFICE EVERY DAY, AND WE ALSO HAVE THE WEBSITE THAT DIRECTS THEM TO SPECIFIC SERVICES SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO HUNT AROUND.
I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM ONE OF OUR TALENT MARKS THAT OUR CHANCELLOR HIGHLIGHTED CERRITOS CARES.
VALERY, I KNOW YOU HAVE TAKEN A PERSONAL INTEREST IN HELPING TO GET STUDENTS INFORMATION ABOUT CERRITOS CARES.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP.
IT IS CRITICAL TO ITS SUCCESS.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT WORKED ON THAT.
THE EMERGENCY APPLICATION PROCESS IS GOING VERY STRONG.
WE ARE GOING THROUGH THEM QUITE QUICKLY.
THE FOUNDATION HAS GIVEN OUT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY AND WE ARE NOW ALSO UTILIZING STUDENT EQUITY MONEY AND WE WILL LOOK TO OBVIOUSLY HELP SUPPORT WITH THE CARES ACT FUNDING WHEN THAT COMES IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
SO VERY EXCITED THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HELP STUDENTS AT THIS TIME.
AND ALSO VERY EXCITED THAT WE CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH HOFFENNESS TO HELP OUR STUDENTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
WE ARE BEGINNING TO WORK ON THE BARN WALL COMMUNITY CALLED THE VILLAGE.
TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS TO MOVE INTO THAT.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
IT'S REALLY CRITICAL AT THIS TIME AND VERY VALIDATING TO BE ON A BOARD THAT IS SO ACTIVE.
I WOULD LIKE TO START WITH A CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR FACULTY CLASSIFIED MANAGERS.
THEY HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB DURING THIS TIME.
WE ARE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO FIND SOLUTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS.
THE LIBRARY AND STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS.
THE LIBRARY IS OPEN, IT IS OPEN ON SUNDAYS AS WELL.
BOTH THROUGH VIRTUAL AND ONLINE CHAT.
THAT IS STILL OPEN AND GOING WELL.
WE CONTINUE TO ADD NEW SERVICES TO THE LIBRARY PORTION AS WELL.
THE STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER CONTINUES TO SUPPORT STUDENTS THROUGH ZOOM, DROP IN TUTORING.
ALSO ZOOM APPOINTMENT TUTORING AND EMBEDDED TUTORS WITHIN CAMPUS AND
[01:50:04]
CHAT ROOMS TO SUPPORT STUDENTS.WE ALSO HAVE A CHAT FOR THE COMPUTER CENTER WITHIN THE STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER.
IF STUDENTS HAVE QUESTIONS ON HOW TO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY, AS A MATTER OF FACT WE HAVE OUR FIRST VIDEO POSTED FOR OUR STUDENTS.
IT'S TITLED ONLINE SKILLS FOR STUDENTS.
THESE ARE VIDEOS THAT ARE CREATED BY OUR INSTRUCTIONAL SPECIALISTS TO HELP STUDENTS TRANSITION TO ONLINE.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, AS WE ARE HELPING AS A COMMUNITY EVERYBODY TRANSITION TO ONLINE.
THAT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE EXAMPLES.
I ALSO WILL TELL YOU THAT WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR EXPANDING OUR EMBEDDED TUTORING AS THE SUMMER PROGRESSES AS WELL.
WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR MORE TUTORS TO HELP OUR STUDENTS WITHIN THE CLASSROOM ITSELF.
I DO WANT TO SAY THAT BOTH THE AID OF MANAGERS, CLASSIFIED AND FACULTY, THAT MANY SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN FOUND ACROSS THE DISTRICT TO HELP MAINTAIN THE STUDENTS EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND THEIR PATH WAY.
SO, I TIP MY HAT TO EVERYBODY ON CAMPUS WORKING IN THIS MANNER.
MANY OF THESE COURSES WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING IN THE LAST EIGHT WEEKS OF A CLASS WHEN THE HAPPY LIFTING OF THE COURSE HAS ALREADY OCCURRED AND PRIMARY.
WE HAVE TO CONSIDER HOW TO FINISH THEM AND PLAN FOR SUMMER, A FULL TERM COURSE.
STILL FULL TERM EVEN IN SIX WEEKS, STILL FULL TERM.
WE ARE PLANNING FOR SUMMER AND HAVING THE DISCUSSIONS.
WE HAVE STARTED TO DISCUSS WHAT FALL LOOKS LIKE AS WE TRANSITION BACK TO CAMPUS.
AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK AND SEEK GUIDANCE FROM THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE, MANY ACCREDITING BODIES.
THE PHYSICAL THERAPY DISTANCE ACCREDITING BODY AND KOPTA FOR THEIR GUIDANCE AND SOLUTIONS HOW TO COMPLETE OUR STUDENTS IN THE ALLIED HEALTH FIELDS IN A TIMELY MANNER.
THERE HAS BEEN RELAXATION OF SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS BY THE BRN.
BUT THOSE RELAXATION POINTS DON'T REALLY HELP AN AREA LIKE OURS >> IT'S NOT UNIQUE TO OUR CAMPUS.
AN AREA LIKE OURS WHEN THERE ARE CLINICAL SITES AND HOSPITALS THAT HAS ESSENTIALLY SUSPENDED OUR PARTICIPATION IN THEIR SITE DURING THIS TIME.
SO WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS.
ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS IS WE CAN BRING BACK STUDENTS FOR ANOTHER 25% OF SIMULATION ON CAMPUS.
SO WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR THOSE SOLUTIONS AS WELL AND HOPES WE ONLY HAVE THE LAST 60 HOURS OR SO THAT WE HAVE TO DO IN A CLINICAL SITE AS SOON AS THEY ALLOW US IN.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE FACULTY AND OUR DIRECTORS OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE WORKING WITH ALL OF THESE TEAMS OUT THERE.
I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH A HIGH POINT.
IN FINDING SOLUTIONS, THE FINE ARTS FACULTY ARE A WORKING ON A VIRTUAL GALLERY.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OPENING FOR OUR STUDENTS TO DISPLAY THEIR WORK THIS SEMESTER.
IT'S A SHAME TO LOSE THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A PHYSICIAN FOOTPRINT ON CAMPUS.
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS.
PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR A GALLERY OPENING FROM OUR STUDENTS.
MOVE ON TO TRUSTEE CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ.
THANK YOU TO THE FACULTY AND STAFF AND EVERYONE THAT WALKED INTO THE SITUATION AND JUST BASICALLY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.
I APPRECIATED SEEING HOW OUR TECHNOLOGY DAY REALLY WENT WELL WITH OUR STUDENTS WHEN THEY PICKED UP THEIR LAPTOPS.
I CAN'T DESCRIBE THE WORDS FOR THE FOOD DRIVE, DRIVING AROUND EVERY CORNER OF ON OUR CAMPUS AND WATCHING THE HUNDREDS OF CARS TRYING TO GET IN.
I APPRECIATE WE'RE A RESOURCE TO THE STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY AND APPRECIATE ALL OF OUR TEAM.
[01:55:01]

I KNOW THE FACULTY ADJUST TO THESE SITUATIONS.
I FINALLY REALIZE PEOPLE LIKE TO ZOOM A LOT.

>> VICE PRESIDENT FELIPE LOPEZ.
JUST A FEW ITEMS. FIRST I GIVE A BIG THANKS TO OUR CHIEF OF POLICE TOM ON HIS HARD WORK ON THE EOP DURING THIS COVID-19.
AND ALSO WANT TO GIVE A BIG THANKS TO THE IT LEADERSHIP TEAM FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT OF IT MASTER PLAN.
THAT WRAPS UP THE THREE MAJOR MASTER PLANS WITH THE EDUCATIONAL AND FACILITIES MASTER PLAN BEING COMPLETED AND APPROVED LAST YEAR AND NOW WE JUST FINALIZED THE IT ONE.
SO JUST GLAD TO CONTINUE TO MOVE OUR CAMPUS FORWARD.
TWO THINGS WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON.
THESE ARE BIG THINGS WE HAVE AT THE TOP OF OUR LIST.
WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED OUR REQUEST FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE TO FEMA.
THIS PROCESS ALLOWS US TO SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT RELATED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19 AND SO GLAD TO SAY THAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED THIS AND WILL WORK TO WORK ON THIS PROCESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS ON THIS.
AND IN ADDITION, WE HAVE ALSO SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED OUR FUNDING CERTIFICATION AND AGREEMENT FOR THE EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID GRANTS TO STUDENTS UNDER THE CARES ACT.
SO WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED THIS AS WELL.
AND NOW JUST WAITING FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO GIVE US NOTIFICATION WHERE WE CAN BEGIN TO DRAW DOWN THOSE FUNDS TO PUT GRANTS TO PROVIDE GRANTS TO OUR STUDENTS.
SO THOSE ARE TWO BIG THINGS WE WERE ABLE TO GET ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK AND GLAD OUR TEAM WAS ABLE TO GET THAT DONE.
WE'RE JUST IN A HOLDING PATTERN WAITING FOR OUR FINAL NOTIFICATION SO WE CAN BEGIN PROCESSING FUNDS.
I ALSO WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS THESE LAST FEW WEEKS.
I ESPECIALLY WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR FACULTY MEMBERS.
I HAVE SO MANY MOM FRIENDS WHO ARE CERRITOS COLLEGE STUDENTS AND I LOVE THEY SHARE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR CLASSROOMS AND THE CHALLENGES AS WELL AS THE ACHIEVEMENTS THEY ARE ALL COMPLETING AS THEY MOVE ON TO THIS NEW PHASE OF LEARNING.
