1. Budget Allocation Model (Technical Assistance) (A.M. Wagstaff)

We need to assist administration in the continued discussion of BAM.

The BAM committee continued to meet with Chancellor Serrano before and after technical assistance meeting of April 13. Progress was made.

The chancellor has committed to work with Chancellor's Cabinet to resolve differences with BAM over the recommendations that accompanied the proposed allocation model. Among these recommendations are a district-wide budget committee, an enrollment management committee, and a process for evaluating the model. The BAM committee believes that these committees are still a large part of the process of budget development.

Presently, (for one year only) the chancellor will not carry over district office funding from one year to the next.

The BAM committee is still asking that district-wide funds not fund the district office. (As each college is accountable each year to its budget, so also should the district office be, without the option of dipping into the district-wide budget.) Secondly, the BAM committee is asking that strategic funding for colleges not come “off the top”, which would change each college’s original money allocation.

2. Division Reorganization Resolution (C. Piersol)

Buzz Piersol (VP& chief negotiator of CCA) presented some issues to discuss concerning the March 21, 2007 division realignment/consolidation resolution, among these being the seeming bypass of CCA and presentation to administration. Some senators assumed the passed resolution would go to CCA for discussion before going to administration.

A newly modified resolution was introduced with a sunshine clause possibility and a new division name of “Career and Technical Education Division”.

M: on the new resolution D. Hensley (replaces March 21, 2007 resolution)

S: R. Osborne

C: Unanimous
