FMC Minutes - 10/27/99

GENERAL:
Information Items:

1. Facilities Plan/Facilities Needs


2. Capital Repair/Improvement Fund Budget

Mike Ruiz issued and discussed a two-page handout. The handout sheet titled "Capital Repair / Improvement Fund Budget Recap" dated August 19, 1999 shows a breakdown of funds from 8-20-98 Memo to 8-19-99 followed by a Projected column with Balance Totals for 7-01-2000 and 7-01-2001. A critical line item pointed out was that after 7-01-2000 the balance is $177,588 after funds are transferred out to Bond. Linda Waddell noted that the DTC Fire Alarm was paid from Bond Funds. Waddell also noted that the 1.5 million earmarked for the Bond could be done in two payments. Marie Matsen mentioned that since the Carpentersí salary will be coming from another source, $36,000 can be added to the critical line item balance.
The other handout sheet titled "A Proposed Plan" shows a prioritized list of projects from Mikeís perspective. Adjacent to the project list is a list of related dates from Oct-99 to Jul-04 with related estimated costs. Both sheets are included in his report "Facilities Plan." Mike briefly discussed his "Facilities Plan" report and its distribution. FMC requested copies of the section in the report titled "Facilities Needs" for review and prioritizing projects in a work session to be scheduled.

Discussion Items/Action Items:

3. IT 206 Computer Lab Remodel

Tom Wiedeman discussed his proposal (a multi-purpose classroom for board or computer drafting) and issued a two-page handout showing a preliminary floor remodel plan of Classroom 206 and a preliminary estimate breakdown for the project. Per FMC request, Plan and Estimate were prepared (by Tom Oroyan / FM&P). Wiedeman noted that Bond funds have been allocated for the Computer equipment (to be attached to existing drafting tables). Wiederman and Oroyan discussed the floor plan and how the scope of the work had changed due to building code requirements. Oroyan discussed the estimate and noted that the total cost would be one third less if done "in-house."
Mike Ruizís Response was negative for Winter Term, when asked by Dean Bergen if the project could be done "in-house" (by LCC trades). Mike noted that because of Bond equipment purchases, he expects FMP to be asked to do modification projects campus wide.
Although Wiedeman requested the project to be ready by winter, he said Spring Term would be acceptable and will cope with the situation until then. Wiederman also said that $3,000 from department funds could be used for this project.
FMC expressed concern as to where funds would come from and FMPís construction project schedule when relating back to Ruizís presentation on agenda items 1 and 2. Marie Matsen said that all items FMC will need to look at in the Facilities Plan report would be ready at the next meeting. FMC will need to prioritize needs and project lists before action can be taken on Wiedemanís proposal.


4. Parking Permits

Mike Mayer discussed the three spaces currently being used for KLCC parking (by permits) but not designated. Mayer received approval for one space but FMC requested more information regarding KLCC use of the other two spaces. Sandy Ing noted that the two spaces are prime for disability parking.
An Industrial Tech parking space requested by Leonard Keen, Construction Instructor, was discussed. Mayer recommended one parallel parking space. FMC requested Mayer to provide a map showing the related parking spaces within the area noting the related current users. FMC stated that users be notified of issues and involved with input.


5. Vendor Parking

Mike Mayer expressed concerns regarding the inner campus traffic of vehicles and pedestrians. Mayer requested that vendor (aimed at retail vendors for students) access be only at the SW portion of the Center Building ramp. He requested that LCC provide two dollies (priced at approx. $500 ea.) for loading by vendors. Mike Ruiz supports the request due to the safety issue. Lynn Atkins also supported the request and noted that FMPís workload may decrease due to maintenance / repair work caused by vendor traffic. Linda Waddell discussed the need for designated areas so access can be close to the building. The liability issue regarding use of equipment by vendors was questioned. Ruiz to research cost on dollies and Mayer to check on liability issue.

Request for a Student member on FMC
Mary Spildeís request that a student member be appointed to FMC approved.

Discussion on Funds allocated for welding booths
Larry Warford discussed the release of funds per Mark Huntingtonís request for the construction of the welding booths (including toolroom shelves and fabrication table) and the reimbursement back to Warfordís source of funds. $7,400 has so far been used of the $13,000 allocated for the request. The issue whether the booths and other items are considered "equipment or construction" with its related budget, continues being discussed.

BOND:
Information Items:

8. Update

Bob Mention discussed the status of the Bond 1995 Projects. In general, it appears that the projects are proceeding per schedule. Mention noted the following:
The Welding Building completion date of December 31 appears questionable.
Currently negotiating with Lile North American to do most of moving.
The Math-Science Building is scheduled for Pre-Bid Conference.
Infrastructure work to involve contractors in the next few weeks.


Action Items:

9. Childcare Building Interior Paint Colors

Linda Pompel issued and discussed the two-page handout that describes the rationale for the User Groupís request to deviate from LCC standard interior colors. Pompel and her group believe that none of the color choices are appropriate for rooms where children live. Ruiz noted that the standard LCC interior wall color (recommended by a professional Interior Design Firm) is a neutral color with some light reddish tint giving off a warm tone. FMC asked Pompel to work with Mike Ruiz to resolve the issue.


Other/Discussion Items:

10. Temporary Relocations

Bob Mention introduced the issue of temporary relocations for office moves. He questioned who would make the temporary or permanent assignments for office moves. FMC asked Mention to define issues in writing for discussion at the next meeting.
