Preview of Monday's Board Meeting: the budget, parking structures, Basic Aid allocations

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there!
     Recently, and as usual, district denizens received a link to the agenda of Monday’s (August 22) meeting of the SOCCCD Board of Trustees (BoT). Here's a preview.

     This item is from the 5:00 p.m. closed session. Make of it what you will:


      The open session starts at 6:30, natch.
      Here are elements taken from each of the college presidents' reports:
Burnett's report: "17 new full-time faculty...."
Roquemore's report: "The morning began with breakfast...."
     There are two "discussion" items for Monday's meeting:
     Item 4.1 is a report of "Basic Aid Allocation Recommendation for FY 2016-2017."
     Here's the PowerPoint:
     Here's one among many graphics from the presentation:


Ain't basic aid wonderful?
     Item 4.2 concerns the District-wide Parking Study Report. Here are the "key findings":

At UCI, student parking is literally ten times more expensive.
In our future, apparently.
     No surprises there.
     Here's the first part of the long list of recommendations:




     There're no big surprises among the consent calendar items, I guess.

     General action item 6.1 is approval of the FY 2016-2017 Adopted Budget.

     Links are provided:
     Item 6.3 is curious: "Conduct a public hearing to provide an opportunity for the disciplinary matter [concerning a Saddleback College student] to be discussed in public session":

     Golly, what did this student do (allegedly)?

     This was in one of the attachments to item 6.9, Academic personnel actions:

     (Oddly, this article fails to mention [future SOCCCD trustee] Tom Fuentes’ key role in all this.)

The new and improved A400 (IVC)

Shiny new classrooms
And there's lots of new office space upstairs

Welcome!

"Employess"?
