I. Approval of Agenda and Notes:
Agenda approved for January 19. Notes not yet completed from January 12 or
January 15; therefore, not approved.
II. Budget Reduction Results: Handout titled, Instructional
Planning and Budget Team Proposed Reductions Plan for 2010 – 2011 was distributed for the team’s inspection,
discussion and recommendations. The process for development of the Reduction
Plan was described. When recommendations are finalized, the Reduction Plan will
be made available; however, the narrations will be removed.
It was announced that now is the
time to look at individual programs and at the total campus because we are
still short about $200,000 of making our $1,734,000 assigned reduction.
Each division’s plan was discussed
and the following recommendations will be sent forwarded to College Council:
Services/Learning Resources—Submit as proposed for Phase I (Option
Technologies—Submit as proposed for Phase I (Elimination of Administrative
Health/Environmental Sciences and Workforce—Submit as proposed for Phase 1
(Non-Core Course Reductions--($40,000). A discussion developed on the
elimination of COOP Ed (Phase II--$149,000), and a motion was moved and
seconded to keep this program on the list—hoping for Escrow II assistance.
Systems—Submit as proposed for Phase I (Elimination of courses, one IA
position and “B” Budget ($96,000); look into the restructuring/elimination of
the CAOS program and (under Phase II) the elimination of one IA position
Arts—Submit as proposed for Phase I (Course Elimination) ($60,000). The committee is looking for possible
more suggestions for funding from this division. After a discussion, the team
stated that if Instruction needs to go deeper, it will look for direction from
the division from their Phase II proposed reduction. (Elimination of Classified
Studies—Submit as proposed for Phase I (Course Elimination--$60,000). It
was noted that if additional funding will be needed from this division, it would
result in the elimination of a program.
Arts—Submit as proposed for Phase I (Release Time and B-Budget--$50,125).
Under Phase II (Reduction of .5 to Staff Position--$40,000), it was hopeful
that Escrow II funding could carry this position—providing another year to make
a transition. A strong support for Basic Skills was emphasized.
Education: Submit as proposed for Phase I—(Lower FTEF for Athletics; Cut
low-enrolled sections; Eliminate the Personal Trainer Skills Certificate; and Eliminate
the Football Techniques class--$44,260).
Consider Phase II—Fitness Center to Fund 15 and the elimination of the
Physical Facilities Position. It is hopeful that Escrow II funding could carry
the Fitness Center before it changes over to a Fund 15 account. Consider
eliminating the Baseball Program—ends June 2010. (If this action is submitted,
Foothill College and the AMA will need to be consulted first.)
Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering—The committee is submitting a
summarized version of this Phase I plan with the following recommendations: Do
not eliminate math or chemistry. Reduce Engineering ($71,000). Under Phase II
and Phase III, consider moving Astronomy position to Fund 15 ($12,000), and
eliminating a ½ tech position and 100% of an Administrative Assistant position
Sciences/Humanities and Child Development and Education—The team is
recommending no course reductions--listed under (Phase II). The Palo Alto
University proposed savings under Phase I was rejected because the savings
amount is unknown. The elimination of two IA’s positions listed under Phase III
was recommended. ($160,000)
A request is
being presented to the Board to release some of the $5 million—Escrow
dollars—Escrow II—to be used for Phase 1 for 2010-11.
Escrow I is good through June 30, 2010, and then those positions will be gone.
Under Escrow II—which we are trying to create—it would fund only specifically
identified positions until June 2011.
being identified for elimination would be effective June 30, 2010—with the
exception of those that might qualify for Escrow II funding.
Escrowing Language Arts positions for one year for Phase I and II.
issue is a problem--$200,000—cannot use Escrow funding.
could happen within the year—the “target” could change.
The charge given
to IPBT is to be an advisory to College Council.
