BOARD REPORT MAY 11, 2017 SPECIAL REPORT TO THE PUBLIC Trustee Mary Graham thanked Vice Chancellor Lynn Neault and Communications Director Jack Beresford for incorporating the new District branding as part of the April 18 joint Board meeting with the San Diego Unified School District. She reported that she attended the Community College League of California (CCLC) Annual Trustees Conference where she attended sessions on the CalSTRS and CalPERS retirement systems, and on multicultural caucuses. She also commended Trustees Peter Zschiesche, Maria Nieto Senour, and Bernie Rhinerson, and Chancellor Constance Carroll on their presentation on homelessness in San Diego and how the District is supporting its homeless students. Trustee Rich Grosch reported that he also attended the CCLC conference where he attended numerous workshops. He indicated that he attended a special workshop on the CalSTRS and CalPERS increases and said he was proud of the fact that the District has already taken steps to provide for these increases in the employer contribution to the retirement systems through a special reserve. Trustee Bernie Rhinerson stated that he was pleased to have been able to present the important work that the District and colleges are doing to support homeless students at the recent CCLC conference. He stated that he will be attending a CCLC Advisory Committee on Legislation meeting, which he will chair, and thanked the Academic Senates for sharing several important resolutions which were passed at the recent statewide Academic Senate Plenary. Trustee Rhinerson also said that he and Trustee Grosch will participate in the Harry West Golf Tournament benefiting City College athletics and that he is looking forward to the upcoming commencements. Trustee Peter Zschiesche reported that he attended the CCLC conference and participated in the Veterans Caucus where discussions took place on how to better support veterans on campus. He also was a presenter in the District’s workshop. He expressed concern that, while there was a great deal of discussion in San Diego regarding how to reduce homelessness, particularly in downtown, no key decision makers had yet reached out to the District or to City College, which is in a unique position to help address this issue. Trustee Maria Nieto Senour presented 2016-2017 Student Trustees Ava Fakhrabadi and Ricardo Marin III with plaques commemorating their service to the Board and District, emphasizing that the District’s student trustees were actively engaged in their communities and at their colleges. She also attended the CCLC conference, where she took part in the District’s presentation. She also discussed a presentation she had seen on diversity and equity issues and suggested that the speaker be invited to present at the District sometime in the future. Chancellor Constance Carroll reported on Governor Jerry Brown’s May Revision Budget, which he presented at a press conference earlier in the day. The budget was very positive in providing new funding for the California Community Colleges as well as some modest reductions. Under the governor’s plan, the SDCCD can look forward to several new increases in ongoing funding: a 1.56% COLA of $3.4 million; a base budget increase of $7.12 million; and a 1% increase in apportionment FTES growth funding in the amount of $2 million. In one-time funding, the District will receive $1.53 million in deferred maintenance/instructional equipment funding; and $1.6 million in Proposition 39 energy funding. Dr. Carroll said that while there would be advocacy for some changes, the District will strongly support the Governor’s May Revision Budget. The Chancellor’s Budget Message contains more information. Student Trustee Ricardo Marin III reported on various student activities, including that at Mesa College, the Associated Student Government (ASG) held a student workshop for students transferring to 4-year universities and an advocacy booth to help connect students with their local legislators. At Miramar College, the ASG attended the Invest in Success fundraiser and will also be holding an event for students to celebrate the end of the semester on May 12. Representatives from all three college ASG groups participated in the Student Senate for California Community Colleges General Assembly in Ontario, CA
