GENERAL:
Stephen Pruch welcomed Joe Russin as the newest member of FMT representing faculty.
1. Art Works Committee – Moskus Courtyard Sculpture
There were no facilities issues or ADA issues related to the sculpture being placed in Moskus Courtyard.
Lee Imonen, Art Department Instructor, said the artists would be here in about three weeks and the sculpture was to be finished in time for installation in June. FMT approved Moskus Courtyard fountain as the location for the sculpture.
2. West Entrance Design Committee
Janet Anderson, Director, Lane Community College Foundation, gave a PowerPoint presentation on the reasons and plans for upgrading the front fountain area. Frank Drengacz, Lead Groundskeeper, presented the three design options done by the landscape architect and a rendering drawing done by Tom Oroyan, the LCC architect. He explained that the West Entrance Design Committee favored Option A. Janet said that the committee would be presenting the options to the Faculty Council, Classified Council, College Council, Manager’s Forum, ASLCC and other groups to get feedback. Janet said that funding would consist of no more than $25,000 from FMT Capital Repair & Improvement funds, excluding artwork, and from foundation fundraising and in-kind donations. FMT agreed to continue to support the process done by the committee. FMT will approve one of the designs at the April 15 meeting after the committee has obtained input from the college.
3. Outside Seating
Mike Ruiz said that twelve benches are needed at various locations around the perimeter of the campus for people who need a resting place coming in from the parking lots. The cost is $500 per bench. Kate Barry suggested that people who would make use of the benches be asked for input on locations for the benches. FMT approved purchase of the benches from the $50,000 ADA allocation.
4. Accreditation Self-Study Update
Craig Taylor said that the self-study document would be going out to the campus staff soon. The team would be presenting the findings at the divisional level and at open forums to obtain ideas and concerns from the college community for the standard teams. The final document is expected to be finished in June. The goal is to have the college community informed when the accreditation team visits Lane in the fall. Chuck Appleby explained some of the work of the Standard Eight committee in three physical resource areas: facilities, equipment and physical resource planning.
5. CR/I Fund Analysis Review
Mike Ruiz handed out a draft “Fund 415400 Analysis as of March 18, 2004”. The analysis showed an uncommitted amount of $56,762 this fiscal year. Stephen Pruch explained that the Small Projects amount of $11,083 was carryover and FMT had allocated $38,917 to make it $50,000 at a previous meeting. Also, the transfer to Bond 1995 Projects ended this current year. Although regular bond project reports have been dropped from FMT’s agenda, FMT will continue to get updates on the lagoon upgrade. Mike Ruiz said that he moved the Bldg. 2 (Business) remodel back to FY 04/05 from FY 05/06 in a previous analysis. Mike Ruiz said that FMT should be looking at the project priority list periodically when allocating funds for projects coming before them at meetings. Stephen Pruch asked Mike to bring an updated project priority list to the April meeting for FMT’s review.
