Archive of Bond 1995 - FMC Minutes - 6/1/2000

1. Bond Update

Bob Mention handed out the Bond 1995 Projects Status Report dated May 10, 2000, and a memo dated April 28, 2000 regarding the President's goals for 1999-2000. Bob pointed out the contingencies in the status report. Nancy Nichols is back as communications specialist. A special FMC meeting to discuss relocation issues needs to be set after Marie returns.


2. Temporary Science Offices in Electronics Building

Bob Mention explained the request for office space for Science in the Electronics Building. Steve John stated that he needs the office space both this summer and next academic year. If the office space in Electronics weren't available after September 1, he would elect to relocate office staff this summer into the space with faculty in the Electronics Annex. In order for the Electronics space to accommodate both Science and Electronics needs after September 1, a wall would need to be removed in Machine Tech 201 to make room for the additional work stations Fall Term and Tom Wiedeman explained that Advanced Technologies does not have funds to remove the wall. Linda Waddell proposed and FMC agreed that Facilities would provide an estimate with an update of small projects available funds to FMC by June 7 and FMC would notify Tom and Steve of the decision June 8 via e-mail. FMC also agreed that after Science vacates the space, FMC should decide its use.


3. Child Care Center Summer Use

Bob Mention discussed the plan for Family & Health Careers to use the Child Care Center offices this summer while the Health Tech Building is being remodeled. FMC approved. In addition, the conference room in Building 24 will be used as Linda Riepe's office for one year. Child Care will allow use of the workroom as a conference room during that time. After one year, the conference room reverts back to its original intended use.



4. F&HC Need for Five Faculty Offices

Bob Mention explained the need for office space for one year. The pros and cons of using the Apprenticeship welding offices were discussed. A more costly alternative is to remodel the ASLCC modular which would not address the needs of two faculty teaching during the summer. For the summer, Linda suggested looking for faculty office space in Health & PE. Sandy suggested and FMC agreed that Bob consult the faculty involved before assigning space.


5. Bus Stop Mobility Concerns

LTD permanent relocation to the west side of campus has raised some concerns regarding students with mobility problems being unable to travel across campus. Rick Venturi stated that students with mobility problems could benefit from having an east campus bus stop in addition to the west stop. Bob Mention will talk with LTD about the feasibility of adding a bus stop to the east side of campus. FMC discussed the college providing transportation from the east side to the west side of campus for students with mobility problems. However, Sandy Ing cautioned that the ADA rules stipulate that if accommodations are made, they must be available to all students. Sandy suggested that the college consider adding more covered benches for students to rest as they navigate across campus. Bob will investigate and report.
Mike Ruiz introduced the issue of a Park and Ride on the west side. After a short discussion, FMC did not approve.


6. Welding Technology Building Sidewalk.

Mike Ruiz explained the need for a walkway from the NE lot to the Welding entrance. FMC approved $1,200 from small projects.


7. Campus Placement of Artwork

ASLCC former President Choul Wou presented samples of tile artwork that the ASLCC created (160 tiles total) and asked that the college display them in the cafeteria. Linda Waddell asked if the artwork could be given to the college with the request for placement and use. The college would consult with the campus artwork group chaired by Nanci LaVelle for a recommendation of where they might be stored. Arne McLean asked to be involved in the decision of where they would go and agreed to be the contact for student approval if an alternate site is suggested. Choul agreed to deliver the tiles to Mike Ruiz for storage until they could be displayed and will send the ASLCC proposal to Marie Matsen.


8. Other

Jewelry Lab Use
FMC agreed that any serviceable existing structure with four walls needs to be made available for temporary occupancy. However, FMC decided that the former jewelry lab was better suited for office space than classroom space. It was suggested as a possible alternative for Family & Health Careers temporary offices. Per Bob Mention this modular will have to be demolished in summer 2001 to make room for expansion of the Apprenticeship Building. Facilities will clean it and make it ready for office space for one year.
NE Parking Lot Lighting
Mike Ruiz explained that with the new Welding Technology Building and increased use of the NE side of campus, adding three lights to the NE lot would improve safety. The bases are already there and installing light poles would cost approximately $3,400. FMC approved $3,400 from small projects.
Health Tech Remodel Bid
Bob Mention explained that the bid opening is June 9 and needs FMC review before the June 14 Board meeting. FMC agreed to consider the bid recommendation via e-mail.
LTD Transit Station Bid
FMC agreed to consider the bid recommendation via e-mail following the June 23 opening. Bob Mention explained that the Board will be asked at the June meeting to give the President authorization to execute the contract
