Limited Public Comment Regarding Agenda
Items
Chairperson Jeffries stated that there were
several recognitions scheduled for this evening.
It's been decided to approve the resolutions and to have a
special reception on Friday, June 7 for everyone that was to be
recognized at tonight?s meeting.
Lynn Savage, President of the LCC Administrative
Association - I'm speaking tonight basically for the LCC Coalition
of Labor Organizations because Stephen Vossler, who is our chair, is
unable to attend. As you
know the Coalition is negotiating with the College over healthcare.
We had a negotiation session scheduled for tomorrow, but it was
canceled due to the inability of the College's attorney to attend. We hope that you, as the Board, will give clear directions
and guidelines to your negotiators tonight so that when we begin on
Monday, June 10 we can conclude our negotiations.
You may or may not know that we are under a deadline with
respect to the bids we have received from healthcare carriers.
So speed is of the utmost importance.
We certainly do appreciate your attention and your cooperating
in this matter. Thank you
for your time.
Sally Pierce, President of the Michigan
Association of Higher Education (MAHE) - (Ms. Pierce distributed a
copy of her presentation. It
is on file with the official Board materials.)
What you're getting is a spreadsheet that is of particular
interest to MAHE, the faculty association on campus.
We have comparative data, which many of you already know about,
about how many days other institutions work, in the third column.
And we were trying to figure out how to compare how much money
people make and what we did for this chart is we took the Masters
minimum from different contract salary schedules.
And then we divided that minimum by the number of days worked
and we got the per diem amount for the year 2002-2003.
And that's of interest to us.
The other thing that is of interest to us is what healthcare
plan most schools have. And
what we did was we studied faculty associations? contracts.
I know for example, that Kellogg Community College uses MESSA
for all of their employees and advertises proudly on their web page.
So, if you indulge me for a few minutes, I just want to show
you a chart and explain what it is and if you have questions, I'll
be happy to answer them. What
you?ll see is that many, many people have MESSA Supercare One.
Some people don't, like Henry Ford.
I understand that's the AFT, American Federation of Teachers,
equivalent plan to MESSA?s Supercare One.
that's what their, I don't know what they call the uniserve
people there, their people that work for the unions, that's what she
told me (inaudible). I
got the number of days for Henry Ford by sitting and counting their
calendars. A lot of
contracts don't count number of days, but if you sit and count the
calendar days, that's where I got the 173.
The 211 came from their Masters minimum salary schedule for
2002. Why don't I just
page through real quickly for you.
The next page is Jackson and at Jackson they have a Cafeteria
Plan and I'm not sure of all the options that they have at Jackson.
But I know that they have a Cafeteria Plan where you can pick
and choose healthcare plans. And when you see it say MESSA-PAK, what they?ve done is
they?ve put all of their healthcare together with MESSA and that
gets a discount (inaudible.) You
can see (inaudible), but I don't know what their per diem is, I
don't know what their day is, and I didn?t edit those out because
it somehow helped my cause here.
We just didn?t have that data and we didn?t have time to
get all of the contracts and count the days and then figure out,
because it wasn't that important.
we're not bargaining salaries, we're bargaining healthcare. What you see on the third page is LCC and Macomb and
Mid-Michigan. When you go
to the last page, Wayne County was interesting to us because Wayne
County has a Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan and top of the line and no
drug co-pay. They just
passed a millage or bond, I'm not sure if it was a millage or a
bond. They passed
something to get themselves more money.
And they just settled their contract.
They were without a contract for three years.
So, what I want to say to you tonight is I know you guys have
already given everybody on this campus more money.
we're grateful, thank you.
In all seriousness, we know that's difficult and expensive
and thank you. In order
to maintain a competitive stance for faculty we think we need to
consider what you're doing with healthcare.
And I'm sure you will be and that's my show.
Public Hearing on Proposed 2002-2003 Budget
Chairperson Jeffries stated that the Board
published a notice on May 29, 2002 of this public hearing on the
budget for the 2002-2003 fiscal year, which the College proposed to
levy 3.8733 mills. This
millage rate is the amount of millage to be levied to support the
fiscal year 2002-2003 and the approval of the budget by the Board of
Trustees will meet the requirements of the truth in taxation statute
for levy of the proposed mills.
Chairperson Jeffries opened the floor for
comments.
Chairperson and Board Member Reports
Chairperson Report
Vice President of
Academic Affairs
Chairperson Jeffries
stated that the position of Vice President of Academic Affairs is an
existing position that shifts from the Provost?s position to this
title. There is a national search underway and the company that has
been hired to conduct the search will present to the College 9 to 12
applicants. An interview
committee consisting of the President, Executive Team members, as well
as faculty and Deans will work to further reduce that pool to 2 or 3
candidates at which time the Board of Trustees will become involved.
This position is one of the five positions that the Board
approves. There will be a
college-wide reception to meet and greet the final candidates.
Chairperson Jeffries appointed Trustees Holden, Heywood, and
himself to serve as a subcommittee to participate with the interview
committee and forward a recommendation to the Board for approval.

and faculty members from the Japan Adventure and Japan Horizon
programs.
President Cunningham stated that Dr. Kim was one
of 32 individuals outside the country of Japan worldwide to receive
this award. She said that
he was the only one under the age of 70.
Trustee Holden said that some have had the
privilege to be faculty members in the Japan Adventure program and
appreciated the work that Dr. Kim does for the program.
Board Member Reports
Trustee Olga
Holden - Foundation Board, Cinco de Mayo Celebration
Trustee Holden reported that the Foundation Board
has been involved in a strategic planning process.
The plan was approved unanimously at the last Foundation Board
meeting. A task force
will be assigned to work beyond the plan, and discuss the long-term
strategy and the structure for the future.
Trustee Holden reported on the Cinco de Mayo
celebration that took place at the College.
She said that this event is one of the great strengths of
Lansing Community College. The
community, students, and staff come out to participate in the
festivities. Trustee Holden said that it was a great celebration of
culture and was well attended this year.
Trustee Holden also gave a report on the victory
rally for the Lady Stars Softball Team.
She said that it was a heartwarming event.
She also reported on the Beverly Hunt Awards luncheon. The Women?s Resource Center annually selects one person for
the Beverly Hunt Award. She
said that the Women?s Resource Center is like a family and that the
Board should recognize all of the work they do as well as all of the
units on campus.
Trustee KP Pelleran ?Mason Local Development
Finance Authority, Star Institute Awards Ceremony
Trustee Pelleran reported that she attended the
Mason Local Development Finance Authority meeting.
She said that the group passed their budget for the year.
Trustee Pelleran reported on the Star Institute
Awards Ceremony. She said
that it was a wonderful program.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, she was able to award a
student with a two-year scholarship to Lansing Community College.
Trustee Pelleran also reported on the Clinton
County Democratic Party, which is not in the College's tax base.
She said that there is activity in Clinton County, in St.
Johns. She said that she
encouraged the group to come down town, to send their neighbors, young
friends, old friends, any students who would want cultural, academic
enrichment, and workforce development to come down to Lansing
Community College. Trustee
Pelleran echoed Trustee Holden?s comments regarding the work that
every unit on campus does. The
work they do is extended far and wide and well beyond the district
boundaries of Lansing Community College.

- ISCD
Chief Information
Officer, Glenn Cerny, gave a presentation
highlighting the Technology Infrastructure Plan, which includes
creating an electronic campus and the OASIS project currently underway
in Information Services and College Development (ISCD).
(The presentation is on file with the official Board
materials.)
Trustee Holden commented
on the amazing progress the College has made with the help of Mr.
Cerny?s leadership.
Chairperson Jeffries
stated it was an impressive presentation that the Board had during
dinner. It was a hands-on
experience that the Board was able to have.
He said that he, and the rest of the Board, appreciates all of
the work of Mr. Cerny has done in his role as CIO.
Spotlight ?
Home Ownership Program
President Cunningham gave a brief overview of
the status of the Home Ownership Program at the College.
There has only been one recipient since the birth of the
program two years ago. Changes
will be made to the program to increase participation, such as
full-time employees in regular positions being eligible for the
program upon hire. By expanding the program to new hires, an individual
relocating for employment with LCC is more likely to consider a nearby
home. Another change will
be expanding the boundaries to Grand River, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Boulevard, Kalamazoo, and Pennsylvania.
President Cunningham stated that Trustee Patterson recommended
expanding the boundaries to the McPherson, Sexton High School area.
She has given Trustee Patterson?s recommendation to the
committee. The Board will
be informed once the committee completes its work.
Trustee Patterson stated
that by increasing the boundaries would help the program. He strongly supports to expand the boundaries to the
Verlinden Sexton area, which would be farther west.
Part of the program is to forego parking; however, if the
boundaries are expanded farther west, he believes that would be unfair
to the employee. He
stated that a larger contribution should also be reviewed.
Nanotechnology
President Cunningham
stated that faculty from the College have met with faculty from MSU
regarding nanotechnology. She
asked Mr. Alex Azima, Professor of Physics at the College, to give a
status report.
Mr. Azima reported that
nanotechnology is technology on a micro scale, but the effects can be
seen. Nanotechnology
includes chips that are very small that can be planted in human beings
to monitor blood sugar levels; programmed to run robots; acquire,
give, and obtain information on a portable and powerful basis.
He said that the College is up to date on technology, but
nanotechnology will enable to do more on a much more portable basis.
In terms of incorporating into the curriculum, there are many
possibilities, which are being reviewed.
The group met with Dr. Aslam at Michigan State University to
discuss development of curriculum material.
Mr. Azima stated there is a possibility to have LCC students
involved in the research process.
Trustee Rasmusson stated
that he hoped that there would be careers for our students in this
field.
Mr. Azima stated that
there are two aspects they are reviewing.
One is how to incorporate nanotechnology into the curriculum at
the College and the second is getting the students involved in the
actual research.
Trustee Pelleran asked
Mr. Azima if any grant opportunities have been researched with the
federal government.
Mr. Azima responded that
this idea surfaced a couple of months ago and a preliminary review is
currently underway. Grant
opportunities would be researched at a later date if the College
decides to move in this direction.
Chairperson Jeffries
asked what are the opportunities of development or manufacturing of
nanotechnology. He asked
if this is something that is contemplated for this region or maybe the
College could be involved in.
Mr. Azima responded that
right now the College's connection is the educational aspect of this
through the consortium at MSU. He
has not been involved in discussions regarding producing the product.
Mr. Rich Howard stated
that the College's Business and Community Institute would be
reviewing ways for the College to get involved in manufacturing and
nanotechnology.
Action Items
Approval of Minutes - April 15, 2002
There were no
changes to the minutes.
Facilities
Master Plan Recommendations
President
Cunningham stated that the Facilities Master Plan recommendation that
the Board received last month included the location of the Human,
Health and Services building, which is where the Administration
Building currently sits; a review of Carnegie Library; Turner House;
and that Hobbs and Black would be asked to complete a thorough review
of those facilities to decipher where administrative functions would
be best placed. As Hobbs
and Black completed their review, they completed a structural and
detail analysis of both the Turner House and the Carnegie Library. They also looked at a possible location for administrative
functions where there could be efficiency of functions.
Having departments in the same location that work closely
together, visitor parking, and financial costs were reviewed.
(The Facilities Master Plan Recommendations are on file with
the official Board materials.)
Mr. Nick Scarpone
and Mr. Bob Smith, from Hobbs and Black, presented their analysis to
the Board. Mr. Smith
stated that Mr. Scarpone along with their structural engineer,
mechanical and electrical designers spent a fair amount of time going
through the Carnegie Library, Turner House, and the North House to
review their present conditions. He said that the Turner and North houses are not adequate for
education or administrative use.
The structure of both buildings are fairly deteriorated with
termite damage. The
Turner House has severe termite damage and structural problems with
the first floor and basement. Mr.
Smith stated that neither of the buildings are ADA compliant.
Mr. Smith stated
that they reviewed the Carnegie Library.
He said that all of the administrative functions would not fit
in the building. A new
building could be built for less or equal money compared to renovating
the Carnegie Library. It
would also require an addition and it would be difficult to phase and
structure the addition, which would go into the Old Central building.
Mr. Smith stated
that an expansion of the Dart Auditorium is being planned for, but it
hasn?t been designed yet. Obviously,
the only place to expand the Dart would be to the east because it is
fairly tight on the north and south sides.
The most likely expansion would be where the Turner House is
presently located. He
stated that they also reviewed the potential location for the future
administration building somewhere along Capitol Avenue because it gets
it out of the main educational area, but still keeps it on the main
core block of the campus. The
building in this proposed location would be more accessible to the
public, easily accessible to the business district, it would allow
some parking for guests, and it would allow an approximately 26,000
square foot building which would consolidate all of the administrative
functions. Rather than
looking at renovating a building, it appeared to save money if one new
26,000 square foot administration building were built where the North
House is currently located.
Trustee Pelleran
asked if they reviewed the Catholic Conference building.
Mr. Smith
responded that the Catholic Conference building was reviewed
approximately one year ago and from their analysis the building is
well built, but it does not meet current ADA requirements.
It could be renovated, added on to, but the costs would
approach the cost of constructing a new administration facility.
Vice President
Larson added that the Catholic Conference building is smaller and it
would require an addition.
Mr. Bill Darr
stated that the building has about 18,000 square feet, which includes
the basement.
President
Cunningham thanked Hobbs and Black, Vice President Barbara Larson and
her staff for developing eight or nine scenarios.
She said that they did their homework in reviewing options, the
costs, and they came forward with the proposal that the administrative
functions be housed in a new facility to be located where the North
House footprint currently is now.
President Cunningham would like to move forward with this
recommendation. She would
like to move forward with the recommendation of having a ?Move the
House? campaign. President
Cunningham stated that they have been in contact with different
non-profit agencies throughout the community to spark their interest
in the Turner and North Houses. She
said that the College would contribute to razing the house and two or
three months would be given to the campaign.
The possibilities of preserving the houses through federal
grants were reviewed. President
Cunningham stated that Trustee Pelleran had asked about obtaining
grant money to preserve the homes and she asked Ms. Ruth Borger to
report her findings.
Ms. Borger stated
that most of the federal grants require national landmark status,
which neither the Turner House nor the North House has.
Federal reserve preservation dollars are also funneled through
the State preservation office, which also requires that status.
Trustee Pelleran
asked if the Board could receive copies of the different scenarios and
costs prior to her deciding on the recommendation.
President
Cunningham stated that Trustee Pelleran could receive the different
scenarios although the recommendation is in front of the Board tonight
for action. President
Cunningham continued with the recommendation.
With the removal of the Turner House, whether it's moved or
demolished, would also allow the College to move into Phase III of the
facilities master plan, which is the expansion of the Dart Auditorium.
With the removal of the Turner House the College will look at
improving the outside amphitheatre.
By approving the facilities master plan recommendations the
Board would save $2.9 million in consolidating all administrative
functions into a new facility.
Trustee Heywood
confirmed that it is not proposed to demolish the outside
amphitheatre.
President
Cunningham responded that was correct.
The College will try to maximize as much green space as
possible as the facilities master plan moves forward.
President
Cunningham clarified for the record that the Carnegie Library will not
be demolished or renovated. She
said that they would continue to review the facility.
Trustee
Pelleran asked who from the Board currently sits on the Facilities
Subcommittee. She said that she and Trustees Patterson and Jeffries
served on the subcommittee.
President Cunningham responded that there had not been another meeting
since the last time.
It was agreed upon at the last meeting that the only thing that
was left to consider is where the administrative functions would be
housed.
It was said that staff would work with the architects and bring
back a recommendation for the Board.
Earlier the Board Leadership Team, which consists of Trustees
Jeffries, Patterson and Canady, met and discussed the recommendation (added per August 26,
2002 special Board meeting).
Trustee Patterson
stated that he had the opportunity to tour the warehouse with Mr. Bill
Darr, Mr. Bob Smith, and Mr. Rich Howard.
He said that the decision to use the warehouse as a temporary
warehouse is questionable. The
facility is damp, there are no windows, and there is no active
ventilation. To continue
to use this facility to store valuable fixtures is not a good
decision. Trustee
Patterson asked if the AOF building could be considered as a storage
facility.
Trustee Holden
asked Mr. Darr and Mr. Smith to address Trustee Patterson?s
comments.
Mr. Darr stated
that the warehouse was acquired about four years ago.
He said that as Trustee Patterson stated, it is not a pristine
facility. It is a
marginal building, but for the next three or four years it can be
useful.
President
Cunningham stated that there is no recommendation for the warehouse at
this time other than to fix the elevator, but it will continue to be
reviewed.
2001-2002
Budget Reconciliation
President
Cunningham presented the 2001-2002 budget reconciliation (the budget
reconciliation is on file with the official Board materials).
The budget reconciliation was brought to the Board at the April
15 meeting as an informational item.
There were no changes from the previous meeting.
2002-2003
Proposed Budget
President
Cunningham asked Vice President Larson to present the 2002-2003
proposed budget (the proposed budget is on file with the official
Board materials).
Vice President
Larson stated that the Board received the proposed budget a month ago.
The numbers have not changed.
For the 2002-2003 fiscal year, the Board would be approving a
$92 million budget with the recognition of the additional property tax
received, as well as the following tuition increases:
$1 for in-district, $2 for out-of-district, and $3 for
out-of-state. In
addition, course fee increases will go into effect in spring 2003.
One piece has changed in the text, which is what potentially
could happen to State revenue. Vice President Larson said that she is optimistic that the
$32.2 million figure from State aid will be a good one for next year.
However, everyone may be aware of the State?s budget
situation and the potential to see a reduction next year.
The College is prepared for that, but no one is aware of what
that reduction might be. A
10% cut would be $3.2 million, which would be significant.
If there were a significant reduction, some cuts would come
from the maintenance and renovation planning and the approved
equipment list.
Weapon
Policy and Workplace Violence Policy
President
Cunningham presented the Weapon and Workplace Violence policies for
the Board's approval. She
presented an amendment to the Weapon policy to include the phrase,
?or activities? under item four, Responsibility.
The Labor Coalition and administration agreed to this language.
Trustee Heywood
asked that the phrase ?or activities? also be added under item
two, Scope.
The amended
portions of the Weapon Policy would read as follows (amended language
is in bold):
?Scope
This policy applies to all College
employees, contract and temporary employees, College students, and
visitors on College property, regardless of whether or not they are
licensed to carry a weapon. The only exceptions to this policy are law
enforcement officers or activities.
This policy also prohibits the possession of weapons at any
College sponsored function such as parties or picnics.
Responsibility
Written notification
shall be given by administrative/supervisory personnel to the Director
of Police & Public Safety or designee of weapons used in approved
courses or activities. The
College's Executive Director of Human Resources is responsible for
the oversight of this policy.?
Trustee Rasmusson
requested to view, at some point, the line item titled Supplies and
Miscellaneous Expenses. He
wondered what the $60 million figure covers.
Trustee Holden
asked what are some items in that line item account.
Vice President
Larson responded utility costs, contracted cleaning service, other
contracted services, consumables used in classrooms and running the
College.
Finance
- Approval of Bids
There was one bid presented for the Board's
approval. The proposal
was for the purchase of Sharp XGC40XU multimedia projectors for
installation in 50 classrooms. Thalner
Electronics from Ann Arbor, Michigan was awarded the bid.
IT WAS MOVED by Trustee Holden and supported by
Trustee Canady to approve the President's Report as presented.
Trustee Pelleran requested that each action item
of the President's Report be voted on separately.
Board agreed to vote on each action item of the
President's Report separately.
The motion was revoked.
IT WAS MOVED by Trustee Canady and supported by
Trustee Holden to approve the April 15, 2002 meeting minutes.
Ayes: Canady,
Heywood, Holden, Jeffries, Patterson, Pelleran, Rasmusson
Nays: None

Holden, Jeffries, Patterson, Pelleran, Rasmusson
Nays: None
Absent: None
Motion carried.
IT WAS MOVED by Trustee Canady and supported by
Trustee Holden to approve the 2002-2003 Proposed Budget.
Trustee Heywood stated that he would be voting to
approve the proposed budget, but he wants to encourage exploring
interactive relationships. For
instance, the theatre Acting for the Camera class working with the
interns in the TV Production classes.
Those are natural fits and they will save students dollars and
that is important to him.
Trustee Patterson wanted to go on record as not
supporting the $50,000 expenditure to fix the elevator in the
warehouse. The third and
fourth floors have been occupied by the Oldsmobile Museum.
The College has been a very generous contributor of half that
space, so now we need to provide a safe elevator so that people can
store their stuff in the College's warehouse for free.
He said that he wanted to go on record that $50,000 is better
spent on students than on an elevator in a warehouse that the College
doesn?t use.
Trustee Pelleran agreed with Trustee
Patterson?s statements.
IT WAS MOVED by Trustee Pelleran and supported by
Trustee Patterson to delete the repair of the elevator for the
warehouse from the 2002-2003 Proposed Budget.
Trustee Canady stated he would support fixing the
elevator in the warehouse. He
said there is always a need to store items and if $50,000 will extend
the life of the warehouse, he would support the expenditure.
Chairperson Jeffries asked what would be the
impact if the elevator weren?t fixed and only use one floor.
Mr. Darr stated that more items would need to be
eliminated. As the
College moves forward in renovations there will be a need for more
storage, at least temporarily.
Trustee Patterson stated that the second, third,
and fourth floors are usable. The
basement of the warehouse is very damp, very cold and is not being
used. Half of the
warehouse is being used by the Oldsmobile Museum.
The other half of the warehouse is already full with chairs,
old desks, and old motors, things that are already taking up space.
Trustee Patterson stated that there isn?t a good deal of
available space to use in the warehouse.
Trustee Rasmusson asked how many square feet does
the building have.
Vice President Larson responded that it has
30,000 square feet.
Trustee Heywood asked how many square feet is
being used by the Oldsmobile Museum.
Mr. Darr responded that they are using between
6,000 and 7,000 square feet.
Trustee Heywood asked if the College is receiving
any recompense from the Oldsmobile Museum.
President Cunningham responded that no, the
College is not receiving any recompense.
Trustee Patterson stated that there is not much
useable space left. If
more items are to be stored there, other items will have to be moved
out.
President Cunningham stated that there is no
reason the College could not rent out the space, there is no reason
the College could not go back to Oldsmobile and tell them they cannot
store materials anymore. The
College has first priority on the space.
Trustee Patterson asked what is term of the lease
with the Oldsmobile Museum.
Vice President Larson responded that it was a
90-day lease with options to renew.
Trustee Pelleran asked when was the agreement
entered into.
Vice President Larson responded that it was about
one year ago.
Trustee Heywood asked if there are any plans to
get rid of the old desks and chairs.
Mr. Darr responded that the old items are being
sold in the Surplus Store and he has asked his staff to evaluate those
items and provide a timeline as to when more items can be removed.
