thank you. Trustee lewis. Next item is 1.03.

agenda organization. Would anyone like to change any items or the order?

8
00:01:04,150 --> 00:01:05,380
no. No. Hearing none. We'll go to item 1.0 for comments from the I the audience.

9
00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:12,310
we do have two cards. The first one is safety on campus lighting and cameras.

10
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:15,880
jose hernandez, asc, cvp.

11
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:30,650
test one two. All right. Perfect. Hello, everyone. Board of trustees and everyone who's here and listening to the sound of my voice hoarse
Right now.

12
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:37,640
been doing a lot of talking today, but I'm coming to you guys today to give you a brief
Update on things that have been going on around campus in terms of

13
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:46,720
safety. We've been talking with the acc senate alongside with cabinet and going towards
The targeted areas that

14
00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:56,620
we have on campus, which is similar to stuff that have been talked about here, having to
Do with feeling welcome, accessibility, equity and diversity and

15
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:05,960
safety. And on the topic of safety, recently, we've been hearing concerns from students
Talking about how they're not feeling safe at night, especially towards the parking

16
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:15,500
lot. One thing that was brought up to our attention today is the fact that there are no
Cameras in the parking lots, which is very concerning

17
00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:24,590
because there's possibilities of things happening in the parking lots.

18
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:29,880
another thing is the fact that there's very little to no lighting on some of the areas in
The parking lot, so I just wanted to bring that to your guys's attention.

19
00:02:38,730 --> 00:02:38,730
just because we are an open campus, and we want everyone to feel safe when coming on
Campus, and if these students are already addressing these issues, to me, it's something

20
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:48,480
concerning that I wanted to bring to you guys to see what we can do together as a
Collaborative unit, because that's one of my goals as vp this semester is to

21
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,000
promote inner branch support between the board of trustees, faculty senate, and all of
Student government, because we're all here for the same goal, which is

22
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:07,960
to make sure that all the students and everyone who comes to cerritos college feel safe
And welcome.

23
00:03:14,290 --> 00:03:14,290
I thank you for your time.

24
00:03:35,870 --> 00:03:37,220
all right. Thank you. Audience. Thank you, board of trustees, for being here today.

25
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:42,810
so to kind of expand on the points that my colleague mr. Hernandez had mentioned is that student safety is a big thing, and tying to student
Safety goes into how students feel when they come on a campus.

26
00:03:50,310 --> 00:03:50,310
and one of the target areas is feeling welcomed, which I think, you know, feeling safe is
Feeling welcome.

27
00:03:54,810 --> 00:03:54,810
and so kind of tying into everything that I want to talk about today is where are well
Into where is that?

28
00:04:00,090 --> 00:04:00,090
when the chief came today, a lot of the points that he made in regards to safety seemed a
Little bit like that.

29
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:06,980
it wasn't a priority. And so the reason why I say that is because a lot of things were kind of like we brought
Up the issues of like harassment.

30
00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:14,180
he's kind of like, oh, well, it's not a crime. So you don't we don't have to look that much into it.

31
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:16,400
it's not really our responsibility. We'll just start kind of on to title nine, you know,
And me as being a student representative, you know, that came across as kind of dismissive

32
00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:22,970
to the issues. And, you know, I don't want anybody of the general public to think like,
Oh, you know, they're not going to look into it if this is a safety concern.

33
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:29,310
and so kind of talking about, you know, instance of lighting, a lot of times, you know,
The officers say like, you know, we like the low lighting.

34
00:04:34,290 --> 00:04:38,280
it makes us look mysterious, but at the expense of student safety. Where are their priorities? Are their priorities looking mysterious?

35
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:39,780
and, you know, being cool for their coworkers or their mysterious is their priority
Keeping students safe.

36
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,140
and so I think we need to look into issues like that. I think, you know, the camera is a big issue, especially since there's been more acts of
People engaging in threatening behavior.

37
00:04:51,450 --> 00:04:54,520
people are coming into admissions and records and threatening, you know, workers. And so like, you know, who knows what they're doing in the parking lot with no cameras
Involved, you know, so we don't if we can't see these things and we don't know that

38
00:05:00,490 --> 00:05:01,870
they're happening, we don't know how to address them. And so I think all of the things that my colleague was talking about are very important,
Along with, you know, continuously prioritizing student safety.

39
00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:08,830
because without student safety, those other issues of, you know, targeters are not going
To be addressed, students are not going to feel welcome.

40
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:14,800
the marginalized communities that we need to address within equity and diversity are not
Going to feel safe on campus, and they're not going to feel welcomed.

41
00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:20,270
and then tying into that, ultimately, it all comes into serving students first.

42
00:05:24,530 --> 00:05:26,690
and I know that's a big framework that we talk about. I know we're going to have that retreat on the first, and I know moving forward, that's
The vision for campus.

43
00:05:31,010 --> 00:05:33,110
that's the master plan is students first. And so I believe if we want to put students first, the safety safety should come first
And foremost.

44
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:40,490
because ultimately if we come to campus, they want to feel welcome. They want to feel safe, and people come here to learn.

45
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,080
and if people don't feel safe, what they learned, nothing gets done. And it kind of defeats the purpose of setting the other goals in the first place, I
Appreciate it.

46
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,030
thank you dante. Next item is 1.05 reports and comments from constituent groups.

47
00:06:03,570 --> 00:06:03,570
we'd like to hear from dennis falcon, faculty senate president, please.

48
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:27,250
honored honorable board members, doctor salazar. I think this is the first time I get to address you as the new president of the board.

49
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:36,030
congratulations. Yeah, I'm very happy to see you there. And if you need tips on how to run a meeting.

50
00:06:39,810 --> 00:06:42,930
yeah. Come on. Yeah. Ask this guy right here and all the rest of you. It's nice to see you. I didn't get to see you at the last meeting.

51
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,130
I'm happy to be here tonight. And my colleagues and other faculty staff members of the community, everybody who can
Hear my voice.

52
00:06:56,740 --> 00:06:59,410
I'm very happy to be here. A couple of things that I wanted to highlight tonight.

53
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:02,200
some of the highlights of things that faculty are involved in on campus that are
Designed, truly designed to

54
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:10,960
improve the quality of the instruction and the instructional experience that students
Have here at cerritos college.

55
00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:18,140
one of them is the culturally responsive pedagogy initiative, one that I'm actually
Involved in, in lydia, if you're still here, her as well.

56
00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:28,550
and it's a nice cohort of faculty who are working together on a consistent and regular
Basis to basically

57
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:40,850
redesign how we approach what we do as teaching. And even for somebody like me who's been here for so long to still think that I can learn
And change to adapt to my students and to the world that they live in and the

58
00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:54,390
world that I live in and we all live in as well. I wanted to read to you from one of the cards that was given to us at one of the trainings
That we we've had so far as part of the project.

59
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:02,220
and you can see it's this big deck of cards here, and they all highlight some different
Aspect or point of view of the program.

60
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,550
remember culturally responsive pedagogy? The one I decided to pick tonight to share.

61
00:08:16,270 --> 00:08:16,270
and it's short seek liberatory collaboration.

62
00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:22,270
design work can be fraught with power and identity dynamics, especially as an instructor.

63
00:08:26,770 --> 00:08:30,770
and you're standing up there in front of the classroom, and students are used to that
Dynamic in the room. Right? To to fully realize the potential of liberatory design, it is critical to reframe
The relationship between designers like faculty

64
00:08:40,670 --> 00:08:40,670
and the communities in which they are working to one of partnership and not equity.

65
00:08:46,220 --> 00:08:46,220
no. Partnership and equity and not patronizing expertise.

66
00:08:50,390 --> 00:08:50,390
an example of that just this week, I worked with two of my classes in person to look at
How we could change the

67
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,120
syllabus, make changes to the syllabus where it would be, and on canvas so that it would
Make everything that we're doing

68
00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:09,990
more, more understandable, more accessible, and something that they felt ownership in.

69
00:09:17,070 --> 00:09:17,070
if I had done that, and I've been here a long time, if I had done that 15 years ago, 20
Years ago, ten years

70
00:09:26,670 --> 00:09:26,670
ago, and somebody came out and said, you're changing your class midstream.

71
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:35,610
I think people would have been aghast. You don't do that.

72
00:09:38,190 --> 00:09:38,190
no. My students this week loved it.

73
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:42,600
they were into it and they felt ownership, and they felt like I was relating to them as a
Partner and not as the expert.

74
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,490
and so those are the kinds of things that we can do. This one program that I'm working on with lexi is shaking her head.

75
00:09:57,090 --> 00:10:00,360
she's like, yes, yes, dennis, let's do more of that. Another program that I'm working with is the zero textbook initiative, low cost textbook
Initiative that is basically going on throughout

76
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:13,180
the state of california at community colleges across the state. Many community colleges actually got money to promote this initiative among faculty.

77
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:17,680
and in our case, we just recently, as the faculty senate, we settled on a price point of
$50.

78
00:10:25,090 --> 00:10:25,090
when you look at other campuses around us, they're either at the $40 price point, $50
Price point, and this is the cost for

79
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:35,900
textbooks for class. Not all teaching supplies textbooks alone.

80
00:10:39,050 --> 00:10:39,050
and by doing this, we will be able to identify classes and list for students in future
Class schedules that these are classes that

81
00:10:48,770 --> 00:10:48,770
have low cost textbooks that help to reduce the barriers to education that we're all
Trying to reduce.

82
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,160
and so these are two of the programs that we're working with. And the zero textbook cost, low textbook cost is is an extension basically of the online
Educational resource initiatives that have been taking place for now,

83
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:08,940
well over five years, seven years across the state of california to basically, again, to
Democratize the classroom and the college

84
00:11:18,730 --> 00:11:18,730
experience by providing resources to students for their classes.

85
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:23,320
so they're not being asked to spend 100, 200, $300 a class just on textbooks.

86
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:35,680
we finally figured out that that's a disservice to our students. It took too long, but we're finally there, and I am proud that cerritos college is
Playing its part in doing that.

87
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:44,310
and finally, I have an announcement tonight.

88
00:11:48,390 --> 00:11:48,390
I will not be running for faculty senate president when my term is up this semester.

89
00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:55,980
I did a half a term to replace april griffin, and then I ended up running again to do a
Full term for myself.

90
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:06,100
in that time, I have had an opportunity to work with my colleagues in the faculty union,
My colleagues across the campus to work with the

91
00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:15,790
representatives of classified staff and also with board of trustees and members of the
Community.

92
00:12:21,970 --> 00:12:21,970
and I can tell you that the opportunity, the experience to work at an institution like
This and have that access, and to be able to see the

93
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:31,400
institution from that vantage point, one that everybody doesn't see.

94
00:12:36,890 --> 00:12:39,860
but I got to see that for the last three years. And I can't think of a better highlight to go out on.

95
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,070
I'm not retiring yet. I'm not saying that. Okay. I saw you looking over there.

96
00:12:48,110 --> 00:12:49,520
doctor pierro like, oh, great. You know, I'm not retiring yet, but in the, in the, in the next few years that I have at
Cerritos college I

97
00:12:59,400 --> 00:12:59,400
want to spend them in the classroom.

98
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:04,440
I want to I want to go out teaching students in the classroom, because teaching two full
Two classes in person this semester for the first time, basically

99
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,010
since covid, it's there's nothing like it. There's nothing like it.

100
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,240
students are amazing, and I can't think of a better way to go out, so.

101
00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:24,310
thank you. Your turn.

102
00:13:34,270 --> 00:13:37,660
no, she always does. Well. Sorry.

103
00:13:42,980 --> 00:13:46,490
I'm going to be here for a longer period of time. You get to keep me for a little longer.

104
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:48,680
I'm not filing for retirement nor reduce workload.

105
00:13:52,940 --> 00:13:56,810
and my term, I still have about a year and a half left. Yeah. Thank you, but no thank you.

106
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:03,950
all right. Thank you. Dennis. Again.

107
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,820
congratulations, doctor. Salazar. Same thing with dennis. I was able to be here in person.

108
00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:14,380
last board meeting. But tonight, I do want to highlight some of the accolades and the success of our
Students.

109
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,470
that wouldn't be possible without the work of our faculty. 90% of our incoming students have comprehensive student education plans.

110
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:30,320
I know, I know, marissa, I know you've been looking for that data, right?

111
00:14:35,270 --> 00:14:38,000
so I make sure that it's front and center for you. It's good. Highest number ever.

112
00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:45,110
right. And that is actually not including me. I used to be a ccep queen, but I'm not doing that anymore, so you know what I'm saying?

113
00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:52,310
if I was there, maybe 100%. Okay. Again.

114
00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:54,150
so 90% see separate, which is developed by a cerritos college counselor.

115
00:14:58,650 --> 00:14:58,650
recently, also, our dental hygiene faculty, comprised of both full time and part time
Members, received a 2024 league

116
00:15:08,580 --> 00:15:08,580
for innovation in community college excellence award for their development of our
Inaugural bachelor's degree, which will accept their first cohort in

117
00:15:18,340 --> 00:15:21,040
fall of 2025. Also, doctor jacqueline ronquillo in psychology department has spearheaded in bringing
The mental health worker program to local high schools through

118
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:32,080
dual enrollment. This allows students to have streamlined pathways for their transition into the workforce
As paraprofessionals upon completion of their

119
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:41,640
certificates. Furthermore, it established a foundation for further academic pursuits by
Offering transfer degrees in psychology.

120
00:15:51,390 --> 00:15:51,390
these programs would not be possible without our faculty, and it is important to
Acknowledge that faculty supporting these programs are both

121
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:01,080
full time and part time in the dental hygiene program.

122
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,400
we currently have a team of three full time faculty members, complemented by eight
Dedicated part time faculty.

123
00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:13,230
similarly, the mental health program benefits from the leadership of doctor ronquillo as
The sole full time faculty member, supported by a team of seven part

124
00:16:23,070 --> 00:16:23,070
time faculty who shoulder significant responsibilities.

125
00:16:27,330 --> 00:16:27,330
part time faculty across campus are deeply invested in the success of our students, and
Consequently, it is imperative that cerritos college

126
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,910
invest in our part time faculty. Comprehensive health care for part time faculty is key to demonstrating cerritos cares for
Our students and faculty.

127
00:16:48,670 --> 00:16:48,670
it is also key to attracting, developing, and retaining faculty members dedicated to our
Students and their success.

128
00:16:57,540 --> 00:16:57,540
in conclusion, comprehensive health care for our part time faculty is essential for
Continued success and expansion of our academic offerings,

129
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:07,440
reflecting our district's commitment to providing high quality education and ensuring the
Historic, I'm sorry, holistic development of our students community

130
00:17:17,410 --> 00:17:17,410
and if we want to be competitive, long beach city just offer comprehensive health care
For their part time faculty.

131
00:17:23,860 --> 00:17:23,860
thank you.

132
00:17:33,790 --> 00:17:33,790

146
00:18:57,530 --> 00:18:57,530

00:19:04,790 --> 00:19:04,790
I hope we hope you enjoy your evening with tony.

148
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:12,920
so the next item is our open session, agenda 2.01 an institutional presentation,
Recognition of classified

149
00:19:22,570 --> 00:19:25,210
confidential employee of the month. And the board of trustees will honor janet yanez, program assistant to in the office of
Educational

150
00:19:35,470 --> 00:19:35,470
partnerships and programs, as the astounding outstanding classified confidential employee
Of the month for january 2024.

151
00:19:55,970 --> 00:19:55,970
good. All right.

152
00:20:00,770 --> 00:20:02,960
janice. Janice. Janice. So this is actually a record.

153
00:20:08,490 --> 00:20:08,490
I was looking, and I don't remember reading and awarding the classified employee of the
Month.

154
00:20:16,170 --> 00:20:16,170
of someone that started only one year into full time employment.

155
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:20,220
so. Bravo. Has set a new bar.

156
00:20:27,630 --> 00:20:30,280
so now six months is the next one. Janet was selected for a categorical program assistant to position for a teacher track
Grant about a year ago, before working full time in ep, janet was an

157
00:20:40,090 --> 00:20:40,090
hourly for many years, including filing a temporary full time filling a temporary full
Time position in the liberal arts division office.

158
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:48,070
janet is truly unique with all the growing programs on ep.

159
00:20:52,570 --> 00:20:55,910
she quickly became an asset in every program. She developed several excel pivot tables to optimize dual enrollment, textbook
Information, teacher track support,

160
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:07,760
and learning communities. She did all that while learning each program and responding to student and community
Visits to the ep office.

161
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,500
janet truly cares about every student. And it's one of our campus most friendly and welcoming individuals.

162
00:21:23,970 --> 00:21:23,970
janet, your dedication, commitment and willingness to go above and beyond to meet the
Needs of our students and staff is exceptional.

163
00:21:33,150 --> 00:21:33,150
the administration, staff, and students appreciate your attributes and outstanding
Efforts.

164
00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:39,780
we are proud that you are a cerritos college employee and we commend you for your
Outstanding service and dedication.

165
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:47,180
thank you for a job well done.

166
00:21:52,370 --> 00:21:52,370
now the question that I'm sure is in everyone's head how did you break the record,
Please?

167
00:22:00,650 --> 00:22:03,230
I don't have to answer if you have a few words. Thank you, doctor pierce.

168
00:22:05,340 --> 00:22:08,850
hello. Good evening. I'm doctor pierro. Board members. Colleagues. I'm a big crybaby, so I'm going to keep it short.

169
00:22:13,170 --> 00:22:13,170
I wanted to thank everyone from the selection committee and everyone who nominated me to
Get this prestigious award.

170
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:21,960
I'm truly humbled and honored to be here to my epp family.

171
00:22:27,420 --> 00:22:27,420
you guys took me in and I really appreciate it.

172
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:31,480
to my family, always supporting me and being there and all the mentors I have along the
Way.

173
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,500
doctor mixon, you don't escape this one. Thank you for always believing in me and pushing me to do more.

174
00:22:46,090 --> 00:22:48,910
you guys have all been a huge part of my life. Cerritos college has being a student here, being an attorney here.

175
00:22:52,990 --> 00:22:55,760
and I have a full time, I'm truly appreciative. Thank you so much you guys.

176
00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:04,250
doctor salazar.

177
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:18,120
congratulations. Okay.

178
00:23:28,410 --> 00:23:28,410
what about. What about your family?

179
00:23:33,390 --> 00:23:36,570
all of my family. Please. You can do with everyone. You can do one with your family.

180
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,240
okay.

181
00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:55,900
we want to.

182
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:26,120
restart it for you.

183
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:47,110
congratulations. And next item is 2.02.

184
00:24:53,570 --> 00:24:53,570
institutional presentation economic value of cerritos community college district report
By the la regional consortium.

185
00:25:12,050 --> 00:25:14,420
all right. Good evening everyone again. And for I don't know for how long, but for a very long time I talk about

186
00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:28,660
how we impact the regional economy. And, you know, when you talk about the impact or college has to the regional economy,
Most of the time people say, oh, sure, sure, sure.

187
00:25:38,020 --> 00:25:38,020
so we had the opportunity to commission a report.

188
00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:43,660
the analysis, the impact in the local economy of our college.

189
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:51,040
and I already knew a few of the things that were happening here.

190
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:57,280
just by simply being here and being able to speak with our business community and our
Graduates and our faculty and our or classified staff and administrators,

191
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,200
everyone who participates in the economy of the district.

192
00:26:11,370 --> 00:26:14,790
and we have been talking about this for a while. And as you know, one of my visions and I was looking for a different word because now it
Sounds weird that

193
00:26:24,510 --> 00:26:27,630
I see things and I hear people. One of the visions that I have for the district is that we are recognized as a center of
Economic development within

194
00:26:37,590 --> 00:26:37,590
our region, and the numbers that I'm going to show you today support that.

195
00:26:43,650 --> 00:26:43,650
and it shows that we are already an engine on economic development in our community.

196
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,660
can we do better? Absolutely. Do we need to be better sharing the information?

197
00:26:54,110 --> 00:26:54,110
sure. But this report is going to help us start that process and create awareness of the
Contributions, economic contributions that the college has within our

198
00:27:04,010 --> 00:27:07,160
local community and our region. So. As we know, we have been working on the student first framework

199
00:27:17,090 --> 00:27:17,090
and the student first framework has frank, very eloquently put it yesterday, has four
Levers that when you move them, if the cogs are aligned and

200
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:27,000
synchronize, you get the result you were expecting on the other side, if if you moved it
And the cogs are not synchronized and align and align, you get a result.

201
00:27:36,660 --> 00:27:36,660
but it may not be what you want, but that part of the result, the overall in the long
Term is actually an economic development

202
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:46,120
engine. And with this process, we are quite literally firing up that economic engine in
Our community.

203
00:27:58,030 --> 00:27:58,030
so cerritos college has roughly 1200 employees, and we have a budget of

204
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:07,640
about 140 some million dollars, give and take.

205
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:16,400
the money that we spend at cerritos college, the majority of those dollars go into
Salaries and benefits for our employees, and a large

206
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:26,240
portion of them leave in our local community and spend in our local community.

207
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:33,880
so the dollars that are generated at cerritos college support about 1192

208
00:28:43,180 --> 00:28:43,180
jobs only on payroll, construction and day to day purchases.

209
00:28:50,710 --> 00:28:50,710
so if cerritos college was not here and it did not have the payroll and the construction
Expenditures that we currently

210
00:29:00,190 --> 00:29:00,190
have, there will be a shortfall of nearly 1200 jobs in our in our region.

211
00:29:09,820 --> 00:29:09,820
so when you look at the operation only only the operation side, we bring about 1000
Employees,

212
00:29:20,670 --> 00:29:22,080
about 30%. Roughly 30% of them live in a local community.

213
00:29:27,780 --> 00:29:27,780
1100, nearly 1200 of them to 1200 of jobs are generated as a direct impact of the
Expenditures

214
00:29:38,070 --> 00:29:40,500
of this district. Now, when you think about that is a very large number, but no larger than the $378
Million

215
00:29:50,350 --> 00:29:50,350
that were contributed during the 2021 2022 year by our alums.

216
00:29:59,770 --> 00:29:59,770
so those who graduate from cerritos college support 4200 jobs, with an annual
Contribution

217
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:09,680
to the regional economy of $378 million annually.

218
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,190
why is it so high? Well, we have a lot of graduates, and two, this is something that we knew from the data.

219
00:30:24,740 --> 00:30:24,740
many of our graduates tend to come back and live in our communities even after they go to
College outside of the area.

220
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,580
give you one example. And he gave me permission the city manager of the city of norwalk, jesus gomez.

221
00:30:43,710 --> 00:30:43,710
he is a cerritos college graduate.

222
00:30:48,570 --> 00:30:48,570
he is the city manager of the city of norwalk.

223
00:30:53,460 --> 00:30:57,190
an an employee of our region and two. He does live in one of our local cities, so it's a product of our community, works in our
Community, lives out.

224
00:31:05,590 --> 00:31:05,590
our community generates income in our community.

225
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:09,640
not only that, but he's one of 12 professional adults who all graduated from cerritos
College

226
00:31:19,670 --> 00:31:19,670
that are tax payer members of our community.

227
00:31:24,410 --> 00:31:24,410
that is how we generate 378 million annually.

228
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:30,320
when you look at those two numbers combined, or the impact between what we spend and what
Is produced but our

229
00:31:40,130 --> 00:31:40,130
graduates is $537 million per year, which is equivalent to

230
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:50,100
the support of 5600 jobs in our community.

231
00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:55,350
or if you want to look at it in a different way, it's 2% of the gdp of our region, 2% of
The

232
00:32:05,250 --> 00:32:05,250
grp of our region is larger than the information technology industry in our entire
Region.

233
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:12,920
it is larger than all combined dealerships that produce tax revenue in our region.

234
00:32:20,810 --> 00:32:20,810
so 2% is the economic impact of cerritos college every single year.

235
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:29,300
I will say that that is a significant argument, to continue to say that we are indeed an
Economic development engine within our region.

236
00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:41,910
trustee birkey. Oh yeah. I was just going to ask, when you say 2%, you mean 2% incremental increase right now to
2% of the total amount of revenue that is

237
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:51,600
generated when a region is produced by cerritos college on all of our cities combined
That we serve.

238
00:32:58,450 --> 00:32:58,450
when you put the revenue combined for the entire region, we produce 2% of it.

239
00:33:05,950 --> 00:33:08,500
are you talking about you're not talking about direct payroll, right? You're talking gross revenue product for the region.

240
00:33:11,470 --> 00:33:11,470
you're talking about incremental impact of the like if the college were to disappear
Tomorrow.

241
00:33:17,660 --> 00:33:17,660
right? Our economy in the region would be 2% smaller.

242
00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:22,310
no, it will be probably 0.75, because what it will disappear will be roughly $180

243
00:33:31,910 --> 00:33:31,910
million from the 537, because the alumni are already graduates who live here, who
Continue.

244
00:33:41,910 --> 00:33:41,910
sorry if you were if you were to have a different historical timeline where cerritos
College didn't exist, it would be 2% smaller.

245
00:33:48,570 --> 00:33:49,770
that is correct. Yeah. So we have a significant impact within our community by generating over over half
$1 billion per

246
00:33:59,700 --> 00:33:59,700
year in what we spend and what our graduates produce.

247
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:08,500
students. Students talking to you too.

248
00:34:15,730 --> 00:34:15,730
when you come to a school, you're making an investment.

249
00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:21,580
about $68 million a year is the loss of revenue of all our students by choosing to come
To

250
00:34:30,990 --> 00:34:30,990
school and not going to work.

251
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:35,160
the combined expenditures, lunches, diet cokes and snacks, gas, bus tickets and so on to
Be here is

252
00:34:45,030 --> 00:34:47,610
roughly $17 million more. Which brings us to $83.7 million a year that our students invest in our local economy.

253
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:58,360
the interesting part of this is that if you graduate with an associate's degree, you will
Increase your earnings by about

254
00:35:07,750 --> 00:35:07,750
$11,000 in average, which is about $1 million over your lifetime.

255
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,780
but the best part is when you transfer. If you transfer and you graduate with a baccalaureate degree, your earnings increase
$30,000 per year in average over your lifetime.

256
00:35:30,410 --> 00:35:30,410
so you go from earning 1.9 million to earning nearly $3 million over the

257
00:35:39,950 --> 00:35:39,950
lifetime. Those who choose to go to get a master's degree about $3.5 million doctoral
Degrees, $4 million of

258
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:49,500
lifetime earnings, and those that earn professional degrees, $4.5 million in lifetime
Earnings.

259
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,540
so going to school has a significant return on investment. The return on investment here for the $83 million that are spent every year by our
Students coming to school.

260
00:36:09,890 --> 00:36:09,890
is 23%, which beats the average return of the stock market.

261
00:36:17,420 --> 00:36:21,140
that is 9.6%. So when you look at that and you hear the news and you hear people saying going to school
Is no longer a good investment.

262
00:36:31,250 --> 00:36:31,250
either they do, no, they do not know how to do math, which means that they probably
Should go to school.

263
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:37,640
and we have our application process open and cerritos college, or they do not truly have
Your best interest in mind, because there is tons of

264
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,090
data that continues to support that. Your salary and lifetime earnings increase drastically by going to school and completing
Your degree.

265
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:57,840
and the biggest gain is when you complete the transfer for a community college to that
Baccalaureate degree and graduate.

266
00:37:05,460 --> 00:37:05,460
your investment rate again is 23%, which is greater than the market average.

267
00:37:11,970 --> 00:37:11,970
if you were going to invest that money in the stock market.

268
00:37:16,830 --> 00:37:16,830
so when we spend those dollars or you spend those dollars as a students, you see

269
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:24,500
$6.4 in return for every dollar that you spend.

270
00:37:30,290 --> 00:37:30,290
so again, going to school pays.

271
00:37:37,850 --> 00:37:37,850
now from the taxpayer perspective.

272
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,000
what do our taxpayers get right? We know that we are a publicly funded institution, and I mentioned earlier that we spend
About $140 million a year

273
00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:58,590
in this institution, not including construction. Taxpayers receive every year for the money that they invest in our school $241 million.

274
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:08,440
so roughly $100 million more than what they put in.

275
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:15,040
now, the increase in investment here is not quite as big as what you see before, but when
You spend

276
00:38:24,730 --> 00:38:24,730
money in governmental institution or state institutions, for the most part, that is not a
Net return on investment unless you're

277
00:38:34,460 --> 00:38:36,560
talking about education. How do you see this happening?

278
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:38,480
one higher revenue already mentioned that our graduates produce $378 million a year in
Revenue.

279
00:38:47,150 --> 00:38:47,150
so those who graduate from college, I mentioned that they earn more money the way that
Our tax system works in the united states is progressive income.

280
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,570
the more you make, the more you pay. Therefore you pay more money in tax revenue too.

281
00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:03,190
we tend to live at the level that we get pay.

282
00:39:07,330 --> 00:39:11,230
therefore you spend more in goods and services. So buy a new car.

283
00:39:13,210 --> 00:39:14,290
there you go. Get taxes, buy a new house, pay a house, pay a tax, go to eat, pay taxes.

284
00:39:19,870 --> 00:39:19,870
the beauty of that is not only that you're investing in the local economy, but every time
You go to a local business and you're paying those taxes and you buy the

285
00:39:29,710 --> 00:39:29,710
new car, you're generating employment.

286
00:39:33,940 --> 00:39:33,940
so all this is connected to what we do.

287
00:39:38,050 --> 00:39:38,050
the best part of all, at least in my opinion, outside of the money, is that in those 240
Million, you see over $30

288
00:39:47,370 --> 00:39:47,370
million that we save the state in support services, health care, the justice system and
Income assistance.

289
00:39:57,450 --> 00:39:57,450
why those who graduate from college are more likely to no go to jail or to get into legal
Troubles.

290
00:40:05,340 --> 00:40:05,340
therefore, you're not taxing the legal system.

291
00:40:09,610 --> 00:40:09,610
those who graduate to college are more likely to stay and remain employed, so they have a
Lower unemployment rate, which means not income assistance,

292
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,290
which saves money to the state and health care. Those who graduate from college tend to be more health conscious, therefore they will tax
Less the system.

293
00:40:36,590 --> 00:40:36,590
so when you calculate all this and you put all what we do for our students, for our
Community, for our business,

294
00:40:46,580 --> 00:40:46,580
for our local area, for every dollar that we invest at cerritos college, the community
And the

295
00:40:56,490 --> 00:40:56,490
state get an average return of $10.50 for the working life of that particular

296
00:41:06,330 --> 00:41:06,330
graduate. You do not find this type of revenue in any other investment but education.

297
00:41:14,070 --> 00:41:14,070
so when we talk about what is our what is our greatest impact within our region

298
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:23,920
and the greatest impact within our region is the knowledge, the creativity, the
Imagination, and the entrepreneurial chip of every

299
00:41:33,430 --> 00:41:36,280
single one of our graduates. That is what generates the biggest revenue went in our region.

300
00:41:40,390 --> 00:41:40,390
so when we're talking about the student first framework, yes, we're talking about serving
Our students better.

301
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:45,870
yes, we're talking about doing the best we can in and out of the classroom.

302
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:52,320
but what we really talk about is making sure that all the students are positioned to
Enter the

303
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:01,320
workforce at the highest step possible because as they enter at the highest step
Possible, not only we are changing their

304
00:42:11,110 --> 00:42:11,110
life, but we are opening the door for social and economic mobility.

305
00:42:18,310 --> 00:42:18,310
the takeaway of this presentation is that cerritos college creates a positive net impact
On the regional economy, and generates a positive

306
00:42:28,210 --> 00:42:28,210
return on investment for the students taxpayers and society.

307
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:32,600
and we do all that through the power of education.

308
00:42:38,090 --> 00:42:38,090
so if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

309
00:42:43,430 --> 00:42:44,840
any questions? Do we have the formal report available?

310
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:48,080
yeah, I can share it with them.

311
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:52,160
so if I were to summarize this into like one takeaway for the skeptic it would be that
The

312
00:43:02,130 --> 00:43:02,130
economic impact of cerritos college is over half $1 billion a year in our local area.

313
00:43:06,780 --> 00:43:06,780
correct? And that I yield my time.

314
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,350
I have a half $1 billion a year. And that obviously is counting the our current graduates state employee and continue to
Live in our local area.

315
00:43:22,690 --> 00:43:22,690
the, the the stepfather of that takeaway is that if we were going to, let's say, increase
Or graduation

316
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:32,440
rate, the percentage of students that we graduate, let's say by 50%, you could probably
Easily generate all their

317
00:43:42,410 --> 00:43:42,410
$100 million a year on increased revenue for the local economy.

318
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:47,960
now, the other aspect of that is the 61% of the students that come to cerritos college
Come from out of area, but they spend money in

319
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,240
our local community. So their businesses around here who depend of the students that come to cerritos college
To stay operational

320
00:44:09,090 --> 00:44:09,090
and to employ those who work there is cerritos college was no here.

321
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:14,040
those students wouldn't come here, so they will take their dollars elsewhere.

322
00:44:18,450 --> 00:44:18,450
and a pretty large percentage of that 61% of the students end up moving to the local
Area.

323
00:44:24,570 --> 00:44:24,570
well, they are in college and are more likely to return and live in the local area once
They graduate.

324
00:44:32,410 --> 00:44:35,080
it's like the opposite of a brain drain, correct? Yeah. Yes.

325
00:44:38,110 --> 00:44:40,690
professor. Falcon? Yeah. Doctor sierra. A couple of times during the presentation, you mentioned not counting
Construction.

326
00:44:46,570 --> 00:44:46,570
when they did the report and presented it to you, did they did they suggest or offer or
Tell you why not to include.

327
00:44:55,140 --> 00:44:55,140
because the money that we spend on we as a community on the bombs and for the
Construction.

328
00:45:01,110 --> 00:45:02,850
how is that figured in here? And if it's not, how much more would it be?

329
00:45:05,610 --> 00:45:05,610
I know it's slightly different in terms of like where we get the money and how it's
Financed and all that, but just look around us, and most of those people who come to work

330
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:15,360
here on those jobs are local union people, trade people.

331
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:19,480
and so and that I'm just thinking, if that's not included in here, we're not really
Getting the full picture of what we do.

332
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,880
well, thank you for for that. So it's like we got in sync.

333
00:45:30,370 --> 00:45:30,370
so there is about a $20 million extra impact on the construction based on what we spend
Every year.

334
00:45:38,620 --> 00:45:38,620
but part of the reason that's an average prior to the pandemic, part of the reason that
Is not fully included here, only $4 million in construction are included here because that

335
00:45:48,380 --> 00:45:48,380
report was done with data covid that we had during covet.

336
00:45:53,870 --> 00:45:53,870
and when the data was collected in 21, 22, that was when we were closing out one of our
Bones prior to going out again.

337
00:46:02,270 --> 00:46:02,270
and the impact of that particular period of time in construction was only $4 million,
Which this factored that on the total in the 538 million.

338
00:46:11,550 --> 00:46:11,550
but the average prior to that, we spent roughly 20,000 $20 million a year in
Construction.

339
00:46:18,690 --> 00:46:18,690
and due to some of the work that the board of trustees did 20 1516 with the pla, a lot of
That money is

340
00:46:28,620 --> 00:46:28,620
actually spent within the local economy based on the bands in which we have to do our
Contracts.

341
00:46:35,620 --> 00:46:38,350
so that is a very good point. Thank you. Another one. Yeah. Real quick compared to other employers in our surrounding area because like I think
About this all the time because I'm a nerd, but I think about like if you

342
00:46:48,250 --> 00:46:48,250
look at home depot or other large employers, even though it's a chain, kind of like a
Chain to it.

343
00:46:56,930 --> 00:46:56,930
does in terms of the number of people that we employ and provide benefits for.

344
00:47:02,390 --> 00:47:02,390
do you have anybody have an idea, like how many employees home depot might have, like the
One right there or what other what I can tell zero square might have a lot.

345
00:47:11,240 --> 00:47:14,840
yeah. We separate I mean, we are in our region. We're one of the largest employers we employed.

346
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:19,360
formerly employed about 1200 individuals.

347
00:47:25,540 --> 00:47:25,540
there are only a couple employers that are larger than we are.

348
00:47:31,060 --> 00:47:33,610
and you know who they are? I think one of those is the kaiser in downey.

349
00:47:36,700 --> 00:47:36,700
I think they employ more people the than we do.

350
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,760
yeah, well, just the doctors is 500. So that's not including nurses and other staff.

351
00:47:47,090 --> 00:47:47,090
yeah. The wait time. Yeah.

352
00:47:51,380 --> 00:47:51,380
so the only like the, the employers that are about their size are, for instance
Norwalk-la

353
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,680
mirada downey unified bellflower. The larger we all the education system in the region produces a significant amount of
Money within the economy.

354
00:48:11,460 --> 00:48:11,460
but I think we have we have not been proactive positioning ourselves as part of the
Economic development plan of

355
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,990
the region because the impact that we have is high. But if we if we think about if we were going to graduate, let's say we achieve the goal,
The 50% of the students in five years or less.

356
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:33,520
the net number of graduates that we will have will be nearly double, which means that
That 378 could become twice as

357
00:48:43,060 --> 00:48:43,060
much. And that would be just a direct impact of that.

358
00:48:48,190 --> 00:48:48,190
but if we think about when we have more college prepared a more college prepared
Population, you'd you'll attract more business.

359
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:55,520
and and you attract other colored prepared professionals that will contribute to the base
Of the economy.

360
00:49:03,110 --> 00:49:03,110
so I think it's it's imperative that we continue to to tell this story.

361
00:49:08,180 --> 00:49:08,180
but to that we partner with the cities and with local economic groups to show that value.

362
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,460
just a closing comment. I'm really glad that we took the time and energy to quantify this, because it's something
We talk about a lot, and I think we need to be able to articulate more than just

363
00:49:29,850 --> 00:49:29,850
anecdotes. So thank you for doing this and thank you for presenting it.

364
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:34,680
thank you, everyone. And we'll be doing some press releases and media blitz with some of
These

365
00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:44,390
numbers because I, I knew that we contribute.

366
00:49:48,830 --> 00:49:48,830
I was very surprised by the size of our contribution, so.

367
00:49:54,380 --> 00:49:54,380
thank you. Thank you, doctor fierro.

368
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:01,700
next item is 2.03 institutional presentation, human resources dea updates.

369
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:08,520
doctor gutierrez.

370
00:50:23,250 --> 00:50:25,350
thank you and good evening. I will keep the presentation brief.

371
00:50:30,670 --> 00:50:30,670
there was a request to back in november to discuss some updates regarding the evaluation
Components and changes under the law that took

372
00:50:40,570 --> 00:50:40,570
place really, over the course of since 2019, to get to 2023, when the dea regulations
Finally took effect

373
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,070
and implementation by all of our college districts. And really what it means is that we now have a legal obligation under title five to
Include diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility standards in all

374
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:03,320
evaluations administrative evaluations, faculty evaluations, as well as classified
Service evaluations.

375
00:51:11,510 --> 00:51:11,510
and for our faculty that also includes updates and changes to the evaluation in terms of
Tenure recommendations.

376
00:51:20,370 --> 00:51:20,370
I'm here really to give you some updates on where we stand on some of the work that we've
Been doing.

377
00:51:26,550 --> 00:51:26,550
we are required ultimately to ensure that all of our policies, procedures keep in mind
That we implement dia

378
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:35,880
competencies. These have been defined by the chancellor's office and have been provided
To us and really to include how we are working toward making

379
00:51:45,670 --> 00:51:49,390
progress in the conversation regarding these competencies. These competencies are actually broken into themes which include cultural competency,
Data self reflection, self improvement, as well

380
00:51:59,290 --> 00:51:59,290
as keeping in mind the core mission of the institution.

381
00:52:04,150 --> 00:52:04,150
and so really, when we're doing a lot of the work under the studentsfirst framework and
The institutional health component, the conversations on equity are really at the core of

382
00:52:13,190 --> 00:52:13,190
the work that hr is doing to help contribute to that component under the strategic
Framework.

383
00:52:17,780 --> 00:52:17,780
so as we're moving along in this conversation and as we're working toward on our eeo plan,
We are doing work both

384
00:52:27,770 --> 00:52:27,770
with our with all of our core groups, administration and staff by staff.

385
00:52:32,290 --> 00:52:35,770
I'm specifically referring to our confidential and classified. We did not list faculty because we are currently under negotiations.

386
00:52:40,180 --> 00:52:42,970
and as you know, that is a separate conversation. And so we we wanted to respect the process.

387
00:52:46,030 --> 00:52:46,030
and as you also know issues involving evaluation criteria are under ten plus one, which
Means that all of our partners, both through the academic senate

388
00:52:55,910 --> 00:52:55,910
and their exclusive representative, need to also make some recommendations so that we can
Have those conversations at the table where that conversation needs to take place.

389
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:04,760
so not quite ready to share what we'd like to do with faculty, but we're starting those
Conversations.

390
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:11,120
in the meantime, we are required under the law to have evaluation components for our
Administration.

391
00:53:18,020 --> 00:53:18,020
that that includes anti-racist principles, which include updates to our policies and
Practices, keeping in mind the impact to fiscal allocations and

392
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:27,880
resource allocation, keeping in mind as well the impact this has in decision making,
Planning and program review.

393
00:53:34,510 --> 00:53:34,510
and those are actually the components as required under the statutory requirements for
Our classified, including confidential, the statute is very clear that

394
00:53:44,500 --> 00:53:44,500
we must include culturally responsive dia principles that help nurture and create a
Respectful, inclusive and equitable learning and work environment.

395
00:53:54,550 --> 00:53:55,870
what does that translate? Here at cerritos college, we have actually initiated conversations with both acmi and
Have assessed the performance evaluation, which I have found to

396
00:54:05,830 --> 00:54:05,830
be very comprehensive because when it was developed, it actually created individual
Competencies.

397
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:11,840
so we've extracted the one that addresses the area of inclusivity, and we are working
With our partners in acme to be able to flesh out that particular competency to

398
00:54:21,770 --> 00:54:24,080
address the components of it. It comes with a self assessment.

399
00:54:26,060 --> 00:54:28,790
it comes with a three 60 performance feedback model. So we really felt that fine tuning it and automating it are the the way to go in terms of
Being able to meet the compliance requirements.

400
00:54:37,170 --> 00:54:40,920
and the automation is really because hr just wants to automate. And for our partners in the confidential group, they have actually convened with our
Office.

401
00:54:48,060 --> 00:54:48,060
we've explained the regulations, we've identified the competencies, and they are making a
Recommendation to us in an upcoming meeting which is scheduled to take

402
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:58,040
place. They also understand the need to move forward in a workflow and automation.

403
00:55:03,590 --> 00:55:03,590
so we're trying to address multiple needs within our office, and also utilizing the core
Mission of making assurances that we are addressing these competencies.

404
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,870
so more to come. But we are beginning the conversations and we are looking at formulating changes within
Some of our forms and as our partners in classified with csc,

405
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:24,240
where working also on beginning the conversations on what these competencies look like,
We've penciled out some ideas that hr would like to,

406
00:55:34,140 --> 00:55:36,660
to fully speak with csc on. But we also recognize that we have to go through collective bargaining in that process as
Well.

407
00:55:41,700 --> 00:55:41,700
and that is our presentation on evaluations and dia competencies.

408
00:55:50,860 --> 00:55:50,860
thank you. Doctor gutierrez, I just have one quick question in regards to professional
Development.

409
00:55:55,510 --> 00:55:55,510
so before we, you know, I guess evaluate them on these locally developed dia
Competencies, how do we train our employees so that they will be

410
00:56:05,230 --> 00:56:09,110
proficient on the competencies as a whole? One of the interestingly enough, we've asked ourselves that question as a group, and
We've done a lot of conference presentations with other

411
00:56:18,770 --> 00:56:18,770
organizations, and we're doing a lot of it we're doing a lot of it through employee
Retention that we see through, for example, falcon leadership.

412
00:56:28,070 --> 00:56:28,070
we've done the work that has been promoted through the falcon day, and a lot of the
Things that we've done in falcon day have really fostered the core mission of what are we

413
00:56:37,830 --> 00:56:37,830
doing, for example, on our selection procedures, what are we doing to create mutual
Respect onto on the campus and being able to have two way communication conversations?

414
00:56:46,290 --> 00:56:46,290
we're doing a lot of things that we need to just codify into this evaluation form, which
Is why we were starting to map out, okay, we do so much on this

415
00:56:56,290 --> 00:56:59,350
institution. Now, how are we going to put this paper to pen? And so sometimes we think we're overthinking what we're doing with these competencies.

416
00:57:04,090 --> 00:57:08,020
when we're really at the mission of we are doing it, but let's map it out. We do online.

417
00:57:10,810 --> 00:57:12,910
we do in person. The mos certification is part of our process in meeting dea.

418
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:18,840
we also believe that ensuring that they have the tools to be able to carry out the
Mission of processing information, database creation, processing, all of that helps us

419
00:57:28,230 --> 00:57:28,230
create the professional development for our workforce so that they can meet the needs of
The students, because students comes first with our partners in faculty, and not that I'm,

420
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:37,800
you know, sharing a whole lot, but there are things we do the conversation on the low
Cost books that is to push the conversation on equity for our students.

421
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,550
how do we represent that on our evaluation form? How do we represent that in a ten year review process?

422
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:51,400
those are the pieces that we need to sit at the table and update these these forms and
Processes on.

423
00:57:57,790 --> 00:57:57,790
thank you. Anyone else?

424
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:04,960
okay. Thank you, doctor gutierrez. Thank you. Next item is our consent calendar.

425
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,290
before we motion. Would anyone like to pull any items? Me? I would like to pull item 3.14 and then 3.25.

426
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,980
I would just like to be noted that I need to abstain. So that's it. I don't think we need to pull it though.

427
00:58:23,750 --> 00:58:27,440
right. You can just note. Okay. So just 3.14. Okay. Anyone else?

428
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:29,960
can I get a motion to approve consent calendar -3.14 and trustee.

429
00:58:35,550 --> 00:58:35,550
perez abstaining from 3.2 5.15 or 3.14.

430
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:42,840
oh. It was 3.14. Pull and abstain from 3.25.

431
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:48,240
3.25. Yeah. So moved. Second.

432
00:58:50,610 --> 00:58:52,740
okay. Thank you. Got a motion in a second. So we have some questions on 3.14.

433
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:01,090
yes. Do we need to vote? Vote on the remaining. Yeah. Did we? We did a motion.

434
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,830
oh, okay. Yeah. We did okay I okay. Yes, sir. Thank you.

435
00:59:07,210 --> 00:59:07,210
very quick. My only question is, is really just a comment.

436
00:59:12,460 --> 00:59:14,980
I noticed that we're getting very close to 10%, right. That's the change order, max, I just wanted to just to note that just 9.8%.

437
00:59:19,010 --> 00:59:22,130
so I assume this is going to be managed to not reach that point. It is. This is actually the last change order for the prime contractor.

438
00:59:25,220 --> 00:59:25,220
and so following the approval of this change order, we're actually going to request to
File the notice of completion for this contractor.

439
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:32,960
perfect. Thank you. Any other questions I'll move the item.

440
00:59:38,540 --> 00:59:40,700
can I get a second. Second. All right.

441
00:59:42,690 --> 00:59:44,250
that item passes. Thank you. And next item, our informational items.

442
00:59:48,390 --> 00:59:48,390
4.01 cerritos college committee minutes november 27th, 2023, december 11th, 2023 and
January 22nd,

443
00:59:57,150 --> 01:00:00,210
2024. And we just receive and file. Correct? Yeah, you can take them all.

444
01:00:01,890 --> 01:00:01,890
okay. Then we'll do 4.02 revised administrative procedures 4027 41, oh two, 4103 5010
5012.

445
01:00:11,540 --> 01:00:11,540
then item 4.03 review of board policies bp 4027 4060, 41, oh two, 4110 and

446
01:00:21,380 --> 01:00:23,810
four 4226. And item 4.04 acc financial report for the period ending december 31st, 2023 will receive
And file those

447
01:00:33,660 --> 01:00:37,440
items. Then we're moving on to administrative items. 5.01 second reading revised board policy 4230, titled grading and academic record
Symbols.

448
01:00:47,310 --> 01:00:47,310
I'll ask doctor mixon to be available for any questions you may have, or if you want to
Give a quick overview.

449
01:00:55,300 --> 01:00:55,300
doctor mixon. The this.

450
01:01:02,170 --> 01:01:05,350
microphone needs to be cerritos lewis. He's using loud. That's why he said.

451
01:01:09,610 --> 01:01:09,610
the well there's nothing here for me but there's a the folks at home.

452
01:01:18,410 --> 01:01:18,410
yeah, it's on the board policy is referring to the academic records.

453
01:01:26,210 --> 01:01:26,210
and this is has to do with the credit and noncredit and these elements of the

454
01:01:36,020 --> 01:01:36,020
and we've the f w and so we've, we and the e w so we've made some changes to the symbols
That we

455
01:01:45,870 --> 01:01:46,890
were using. And those are indicated in the board policy here.

456
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:54,360
so moved. I was wondering this too, what's the difference between an unofficial
Withdrawal and an official withdrawal.

457
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:00,960
the I don't know if there's a we have a we have an e-w which is the emergency

458
01:02:10,690 --> 01:02:13,870
withdrawal. And then we have the withdrawal. The emergency withdrawal. Under the unusual circumstances, the students it doesn't count against their grade point
Average.

459
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:23,500
and the w does count against the grade point average. So then the f w.

460
01:02:25,450 --> 01:02:26,950
oh, okay. Go ahead. The student did not formally withdraw themselves.

461
01:02:31,230 --> 01:02:34,980
so that means that they just stopped participating in class. So at the end of the semester, as an instructor, I can either choose to assign an f or an
F w.

462
01:02:42,750 --> 01:02:42,750
right. So f w just means that they stopped participating.

463
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:47,040
I could tell them that they need to withdraw, but in the catalog, withdrawing the course
Is the student's responsibility.

464
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,880
so for gpa calculation it's considered the same thing. A f and f w is treated like an f.

465
01:03:00,610 --> 01:03:00,610
got it. Thank you.

466
01:03:07,690 --> 01:03:07,690
that answers the question of a lot of dreams I have about a math class for many years.

467
01:03:15,190 --> 01:03:18,920
so I think we had a motion trustee perez do we have a second? Second. Okay.

468
01:03:20,390 --> 01:03:22,850
item passes. Yes. Okay.

469
01:03:24,620 --> 01:03:28,070
did you want to say something? No. I'm signaling frank to be ready for the. Oh, for the next item.

470
01:03:29,180 --> 01:03:32,000
I think he just committed an f two. I didn't want to be up here.

471
01:03:33,620 --> 01:03:37,040
there's nothing. I need something on my screen here. Well, next item is 5.02 certification of the 2024 midterm report to be provided to the
Acjc

472
01:03:47,010 --> 01:03:49,890
and wasc. So we have prepared the midterm report.

473
01:03:54,930 --> 01:03:58,590
we've been working on it for the past several months. It goes through the action items that we identified that we wanted to.

474
01:04:04,980 --> 01:04:04,980
I'm sorry, I go, I go, I go right into my teaching mode, I apologize.

475
01:04:12,610 --> 01:04:12,610
and I was always self-conscious standing behind the podium when I was teaching.

476
01:04:18,370 --> 01:04:22,090
but now I feel safer. Behind the podium. The. So we've been working on the midterm report.

477
01:04:25,900 --> 01:04:25,900
the purpose of the midterm report is to tell to give the commission a update on how we've
Done since our

478
01:04:35,300 --> 01:04:38,630
last institutional self-evaluation. And so part of that report is action items that we identified that we wanted to work on.

479
01:04:45,830 --> 01:04:48,410
we've made good progress on those. It addresses the the recommendations that they gave us.

480
01:04:54,380 --> 01:04:54,380
we've made good progress on those institutional set standards.

481
01:04:59,440 --> 01:04:59,440
it identifies how we've done with those and the financial health of the institution and
All the areas.

482
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,040
we're making very good progress. We will. And while we always have room for improvement, and that's what we're we're going
To begin preparing for the, the next icer.

483
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:17,920
and two and a half years and we will we have our first meeting april 16th to kick off
That set of

484
01:05:27,890 --> 01:05:27,890
planning events to get ready for the 2027 institutional self-evaluation.

485
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,500
any questions? And and just a comment.

486
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:46,080
maybe we recognize some of the team members.

487
01:05:50,820 --> 01:05:52,350
they were in the team. Thank you. Thank you.

488
01:05:55,020 --> 01:05:55,020
so we've had we had michelle simotas kicked it off.

489
01:06:01,260 --> 01:06:01,260
she has just left us, but she did a very nice job.

490
01:06:06,310 --> 01:06:09,730
getting the midterm report started. We had leanne mcelroy, who is the slo coordinator, and she did a lot of writing about the
Improvements we've

491
01:06:19,660 --> 01:06:22,240
made around student learning outcomes. Amber rock has done the writing around the institutional set standards and did some work
On the

492
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,410
on the action plans. And gary pritchard has worked on the financial health.

493
01:06:41,270 --> 01:06:41,270
phillipe helped out with the financial health area as well as did robin and writing
Around the recommendations.

494
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:50,480
so I think I hit everybody lynne and dennis are on the accreditation committee and read
The report,

495
01:07:00,420 --> 01:07:00,420
and len marked it up nicely for us even viciously at times.

496
01:07:08,490 --> 01:07:08,490
but but we appreciate it's a better report for it.

497
01:07:14,250 --> 01:07:14,250
I have a quick question, doctor mixon, do you know if anybody from cerritos college has
Ever served on a visiting team or on the commission?

498
01:07:23,890 --> 01:07:23,890
I don't know about the commission, but I know that several folks have been on a visiting
Team, and I will be serving on

499
01:07:33,610 --> 01:07:33,610
one before we have our next esser I can I will promise you that, and I will encourage
Others on the team to do the same.

500
01:07:43,050 --> 01:07:46,230
I think we will benefit from that insight. Definitely. Okay.

501
01:07:47,340 --> 01:07:51,210
thank you. Yeah. Anyone else?

502
01:07:53,250 --> 01:07:56,610
all right. Thank you. And did we get a motion for approval?

503
01:08:00,930 --> 01:08:02,790
a second. Thank you. Item passes.

504
01:08:05,070 --> 01:08:05,070
next item is 5.03 consideration of adoption of resolution 24 0221b and recognition of
Black history month.

505
01:08:15,310 --> 01:08:15,310
doctor gutierrez will give us a brief overview before the approval of.

506
01:08:22,930 --> 01:08:22,930
the resolution before you is merely to honor, once again our commitment to diversity on
Our campus as we honored black history month, which, in partnership

507
01:08:32,750 --> 01:08:32,750
with our black excellence committee, we as air launched off the kickoff luncheon earlier
This month with with the black excellence

508
01:08:42,500 --> 01:08:44,240
calling it black futures. And we had a panel of of our faculty of african american males who gave their perspectives
To the students and staff.

509
01:08:52,730 --> 01:08:52,730
and so it was really wonderful to see it is, again, an honor to be able to serve the
Conversations of equity.

510
01:08:59,580 --> 01:08:59,580
and by signing the resolution, we are merely affirming our commitment to black history
Month and the activities that we do on campus.

511
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:11,910
thank you. Questions? Comments? Comments.

512
01:09:15,990 --> 01:09:19,570
I just want to say thank you for the acknowledgment. There's a quote that reads, you know, knowing the past opens the door to the future.

513
01:09:25,030 --> 01:09:25,030
and so when we look or when we celebrate black history month, you know, it also, just
Like you said, it does celebrate our, you know,

514
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:36,220
our diversity. It celebrates unity because it unites us.

515
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:40,600
it also allows us to kind of learn more and get more insight beyond the textbooks, and
Also helps us understand the

516
01:09:50,580 --> 01:09:54,510
importance of those stories and achievements of black americans. So thank you so much for that.

517
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,200
thank you, doctor gutierrez. Can I get a motion for approval? Motion a second.

518
01:10:07,420 --> 01:10:10,570
second. Okay. Thank you. Item passes. Next. Item 5.04.

519
01:10:12,820 --> 01:10:12,820
nonresident tuition fee and nonresident student capital outlay fee for 2024 and 2025.

520
01:10:19,870 --> 01:10:22,300
thank you, doctor salazar. Vice president lopez will give us an overview of the item before it's up for approval.

521
01:10:28,150 --> 01:10:32,060
yes. Thank you, doctor fierro. Thank you, board of trustees. So this is every year we're required by law to approve the board, approve and establish
The next

522
01:10:41,900 --> 01:10:41,900
year's fiscal year's nonresident tuition and capital outlay fee.

523
01:10:47,570 --> 01:10:47,570
and every year, the state submits out a calculation because this is fee is goes through a
Process.

524
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:59,310
it's. We're not able to pick a fee that we want. It actually has to be within some parameters on that.

525
01:11:02,220 --> 01:11:02,220
and so in the nonresident fee is driven off of the two different calculations.

526
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:10,560
one, we look at the, the cost of education, the district average cost, and compare that
To the statewide average cost.

527
01:11:18,270 --> 01:11:18,270
and then that formulates a range of where the fee has to lie in that.

528
01:11:23,590 --> 01:11:23,590
so this calculation goes through differently on each, each campus.

529
01:11:29,170 --> 01:11:32,410
so each campus has to go through this process. Everyone utilizes the same statewide average, which in this year's case, the statewide
Statewide average calculated a nonresident fee at

530
01:11:41,710 --> 01:11:41,710
$406 per unit.

531
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:46,040
and then when we went through our cost of education and looked at our expenses, that
Nonresident tuition was

532
01:11:55,430 --> 01:11:55,430
calculated at $392 per per unit.

533
01:12:01,100 --> 01:12:01,100
so 392 being the lowest amount that we could charge 406 being the highest amount of
Charge.

534
01:12:10,420 --> 01:12:14,290
and so we have some flexibility to either pick one or the other. And so however, in looking at this to and working with the state, the state also added a,
An additional provision

535
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:24,040
because within ed code, the ed code specifies that the nonresident fee should represent a
Gradual moderate increase from prior year.

536
01:12:33,410 --> 01:12:33,410
so we in taking this into consideration, because sometimes depending on how our
Expenditures happen from one year to another, our district average costs could

537
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:43,400
spike. In one particular year and could actually throw that calculation out of whack.

538
01:12:48,620 --> 01:12:48,620
so we also have another option to compare what we charged from last year and add a
Gradual increase.

539
01:12:55,410 --> 01:12:57,540
the gradual increase is really flexible. There's no parameters in that.

540
01:12:59,700 --> 01:12:59,700
in looking at this fee, we decided to utilize the other option, which is the fee
Represented, or taking our last year's fee and

541
01:13:09,480 --> 01:13:09,480
adding a moderate increase, of which we did of 5% increase to to arrive at what we're
Asking today for board approval to

542
01:13:19,390 --> 01:13:19,390
approve a nonresident fee of $359 with a cap unchanged capital outlay fee of $38.

543
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:28,240
and so the capital outlay fee is also driven off of our expenditures, primarily because
We have an active bond.

544
01:13:36,220 --> 01:13:36,220
our maximum, maximum amount that we can charge from a capital outlay fee standpoint is
$56 per unit.

545
01:13:42,890 --> 01:13:44,060
however, we. We have defaulted to keep the $38 remaining the same unchanged from last year.

546
01:13:50,180 --> 01:13:50,180
so the only change that we are effectively asking is just the nonresident fee of

547
01:13:58,400 --> 01:13:58,400
359. And I believe in the item that only represents I forget the actual dollar figure
Increase

548
01:14:08,370 --> 01:14:08,370
over last year. I want to say it's I think 14 give me.

549
01:14:23,910 --> 01:14:27,900
this represents a $17 increase over last year. So so that's that's how the that calculation is derived from.

550
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:33,560
so. When was the last increase prior to this proposed one.

551
01:14:40,130 --> 01:14:42,230
last year's increase. I think last year's increase, if it mistakenly was a little bit higher, it was more I
Think it increased about 20 or $30

552
01:14:52,250 --> 01:14:52,250
per unit. Prior to that is that it gradually is increasing year after year every every
Year.

553
01:15:01,070 --> 01:15:01,070
yeah. Yeah. So it it very rarely goes down just because our cost keeps climbing and our
Budgets keep climbing

554
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,640
obviously keeps driving that, that, that cost up. So, but we have that parameters to kind of stay within really we have three options.

555
01:15:18,230 --> 01:15:18,230
right. Stick with the statewide average default to our district average, or utilize what
We charged last year with a moderate increase.

556
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:29,320
thank you. Any other comments?

557
01:15:36,610 --> 01:15:36,610
okay. Can I get a motion to approve, please?

558
01:15:41,440 --> 01:15:44,850
motion. Second. Second. All right. We have a motion.

559
01:15:46,260 --> 01:15:49,860
and a second item passes. Last item. Reports and comments from district officials.

560
01:15:52,980 --> 01:15:52,980
we will start with trustee scott.

561
01:15:57,480 --> 01:16:01,350
hello, everyone. I'm so happy to see everyone here tonight. I'm. Unfortunately, I was not able to make it to the groundbreaking, which really bummed
Me out, but I did see you guys in your hard hats.

562
01:16:09,900 --> 01:16:11,730
thanks to jose. As was spoken by earlier, it is black futures month, and as the bsu vice president, we
Have had a lot of fun planning all of the

563
01:16:21,480 --> 01:16:24,210
events that our club has been a part of. Our next event will be tomorrow, and we will be having our last meeting of the month.

564
01:16:29,370 --> 01:16:29,370
and to conclude, black futures month, we will be inviting all faculty and all students
Anyone's welcome to come and discuss what it means to

565
01:16:39,100 --> 01:16:40,960
be black in america. Now, not not everyone is black in america, but everyone has their own hardships.

566
01:16:46,540 --> 01:16:46,540
every, every culture has their own beauties and complexities, and we're just here to
Learn from each other.

567
01:16:52,330 --> 01:16:52,330
outside of that, based on our last meeting student government has been really excited to
Talk about how we can help with

568
01:17:01,460 --> 01:17:04,340
kpis. Amongst our peers. And that's an ongoing discussion that we've been having.

569
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:07,760
and I'm sure that it will continue to happen.

570
01:17:12,860 --> 01:17:12,860
I don't think I'm missing anything, but yeah, I think that's it.

571
01:17:19,410 --> 01:17:20,460
yeah. Okay. Yes. And also, I want to thank jose and dante for being here and for always having a
Voice and speaking up about the

572
01:17:30,060 --> 01:17:32,220
students needs and wants. So I really appreciate you guys.

573
01:17:34,230 --> 01:17:34,230
that's it. Earlier this week, actually, thursday last week

574
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:43,280
we rechristened or otherwise had a reopening of our la mirada site for cerritos college.

575
01:17:51,290 --> 01:17:51,290
so I'm glad that we can finally reutilize those four classrooms that I hope can continue
To grow for serving the students outside of just our

576
01:18:01,190 --> 01:18:01,190
campus here. And it's something that I'm really happy to see that, you know, there's more
Progress that's continuing.

577
01:18:09,450 --> 01:18:09,450
there's a lot that was going on prior to the pandemic and that got frozen, unfortunately.

578
01:18:16,440 --> 01:18:16,440
but here we are again restarting and going to be better than ever.

579
01:18:20,910 --> 01:18:20,910
so thank you to the faculty, the staff and other facilities and csia for making that event
Happen and for

580
01:18:30,510 --> 01:18:30,510
continuing to support students outside of just this singular campus.

581
01:18:35,050 --> 01:18:37,780
so I'm glad to see that. And then, of course, we had earlier today the groundbreaking without breaking any ground.

582
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,260
officially, the storm already did that for us. Made a lake. So hopefully we can drain that before we start building.

583
01:18:51,730 --> 01:18:53,770
right? That's my understanding. But nonetheless, we had a groundbreaking and we were we had the speaker emeritus himself
Come and be a part of our

584
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:03,320
presentation, and we are going to be moving forward with naming the student services
Portion of the building after him.

585
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:11,840
so that's a very nice, generous showing and I think is well deserved.

586
01:19:17,390 --> 01:19:17,390
for someone who is not only currently involved in our college, but his career was partly,
I'd

587
01:19:27,510 --> 01:19:27,510
say mostly, maybe generally, generously speaking, was because of our investment in him
Many, many years ago.

588
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:35,160
so we're glad to see that, and we're glad to show him as an example that when you go
Start here, you can go anywhere.

589
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,930
so thank you. But even best if you stay in our service area.

590
01:19:50,290 --> 01:19:50,290
right, right. I also attend the reopening at la mirada.

591
01:19:57,250 --> 01:20:00,070
it was a la community member. Appreciate that.

592
01:20:01,300 --> 01:20:01,300
and being wednesday I also attend the college.

593
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:12,150
last week, I also attend a culinary art program. And also the ground break today, it was great event.

594
01:20:18,900 --> 01:20:21,990
that's my report. Thank you. Thank you, trustee liu trustee.

595
01:20:23,310 --> 01:20:25,620
pacheco. Yes. I attended also the norwalk-la mirada reopening, even though I was a little late.

596
01:20:33,730 --> 01:20:33,730
but I did show up.

597
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:37,840
I also attended a fentanyl awareness event which was it had

598
01:20:47,710 --> 01:20:51,100
quite a few different people attending. Chp was there and they gave a presentation in regards to fentanyl and the dangers of
Taking it.

599
01:20:59,570 --> 01:20:59,570
and also downey pd and fire, they gave stats and they went over exactly the effects of
Fentanyl

600
01:21:09,230 --> 01:21:09,230
on especially on school age children in the high schools.

601
01:21:15,140 --> 01:21:15,140
and also there was other organizations there that went over in regards to fentanyl

602
01:21:25,020 --> 01:21:25,020
and the cost to us as a community in regards as to what it does.

603
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:33,000
I thought that was a really good event.

604
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:37,560
and then I also went to the norwalk, la mirada reopening and of course, the
Groundbreaking

605
01:21:47,860 --> 01:21:47,860
of today, which was great to see.

606
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:55,540
and I think all of us were kind of there. Yes, we all were here.

607
01:21:58,480 --> 01:22:01,840
and that's it. That concludes my comments. Thank you. Trustee pacheco will start on this side.

608
01:22:05,110 --> 01:22:05,110
trustee green. All right.

609
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:11,880
sorry. I was writing notes, so I don't forget anything, but I wanted to start off first
By saying I truly appreciate my fellow peers on the

610
01:22:21,270 --> 01:22:21,270
board, doctor pharaoh and all the stakeholders here at cerritos college for allowing me
The opportunity to represent our wonderful college

611
01:22:30,930 --> 01:22:33,990
on both the state and national level. In all of my years in education, this was actually my first experience with legislative
Advocacy, and so it was truly an honor to

612
01:22:43,830 --> 01:22:43,830
serve on the team as we used our voices to take action on behalf of the students services
And programs here at cerritos college.

613
01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:53,100
I feel very hopeful that we are you know, I feel like we truly made an impact.

614
01:22:58,280 --> 01:22:58,280
like when cerritos walked into the room, I felt that, you know, they were we were very
Well received.

615
01:23:04,790 --> 01:23:04,790
we had a great rapport and reputation with assembly of persons and congressmen and women.

616
01:23:11,450 --> 01:23:11,450
and so I feel like our advocacy truly made a difference.

617
01:23:15,830 --> 01:23:15,830
and I hope that we see the outcomes in our favor from the visits that we made.

618
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:22,800
and so, you know, I hope they feel just as I feel about how great cerritos college is.

619
01:23:29,910 --> 01:23:29,910
I also had the opportunity to attend the chinese new year celebration, and it was
Amazing.

620
01:23:36,780 --> 01:23:36,780
so I had a wonderful time celebrating culture through unity and fellowship.

621
01:23:42,930 --> 01:23:45,760
here with our students at cerritos college. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to join our family, our cerritos family, as chancellor.

622
01:23:52,540 --> 01:23:55,960
christensen presented on the vision 2030. And while she was presenting, I was just thinking, wow, you know what?

623
01:23:59,260 --> 01:24:01,960
we're already doing the work like we are. We are already prepared to meet that vision for 2030.

624
01:24:06,070 --> 01:24:06,070
I feel that we are kind of ahead of the game, and so I'm looking forward to our continued
Progress and success with that.

625
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:17,390
shout out to doctor mixon and his presentation yesterday. You did a wonderful job.

626
01:24:19,430 --> 01:24:19,430
and then last but not least, I am very much looking forward to attending the answering
Woodson's challenge for black history month tomorrow, as well

627
01:24:29,420 --> 01:24:30,890
as the r&b yoga. So I'm really looking forward to that on the 27th.

628
01:24:34,620 --> 01:24:36,390
so that concludes my report. Thank you so much.

629
01:24:39,750 --> 01:24:43,320
thank you. Trustee green trustee perez. Thank you everybody. Thank you again for being here tonight.

630
01:24:46,170 --> 01:24:46,170
just to add to what trustee green said about the trips, I thought they were both very,
Very well organized.

631
01:24:52,470 --> 01:24:52,470
so I really wanted just to acknowledge andrea for all of her work and her our team, our
Lobbyist team as well too, for really putting together very substantive meetings.

632
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:02,320
we started right early and we ended very late too, but they were all very good
Discussions.

633
01:25:07,540 --> 01:25:07,540
I mean, I felt I personally feel a little bit hopeful about the housing, more hopeful
Than I did a few months ago.

634
01:25:12,670 --> 01:25:16,060
it's everybody can recall my lack of enthusiasm. But I mean, I think the budget is the deficit is significant, you know, and the world
That they kept on using, I hear it in all my lobbyist calls.

635
01:25:23,850 --> 01:25:27,510
it's volatile. Right. It's a very volatile period right now in sacramento. There is a great disagreement between the governor and the legislature on what the budget
Deficit is and how long the deficit is going to last, too.

636
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:35,520
so I feel really hopeful, though, that we as a as a college, really presented all of your
Great work on what we are doing in

637
01:25:45,130 --> 01:25:45,130
regards to basic needs and how the housing would complement the work that we're doing.

638
01:25:50,230 --> 01:25:52,360
so again, I think stay tuned. I think the may revise at the everybody in the entire state who works in government, I
Guess is waiting for the may revise, because that's really going to have a huge impact on

639
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:04,450
so many decisions across the state. I'm very grateful, even for our college, for the one time revenue funds that we got for
Several years related to covid, but they have really put public agencies in a very

640
01:26:13,970 --> 01:26:13,970
difficult situation now because all those one time funds are gone and we are really being
Forced to make very, very tough decisions.

641
01:26:20,180 --> 01:26:22,760
so again, I think, you know, we'll stay tuned. But I just again, really felt very hopeful.

642
01:26:25,820 --> 01:26:25,820
we again, the the areas we focus on in addition to housing was also really raising up our
Veterans or student veterans in all the services that they are provided here and how we

643
01:26:35,670 --> 01:26:38,340
can continue to support our our student veterans. So I thought that was very impactful.

644
01:26:40,650 --> 01:26:40,650
and I think we have about 200, right, 200 student veterans that we were talking about who
We serve.

645
01:26:45,510 --> 01:26:45,510
so that was very, very illuminating for me to learn more about our students and what we
Can do to support them.

646
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:52,560
I also really I just wanted to share that we manifested that we met congresswoman
Alexandria ocasio

647
01:27:02,660 --> 01:27:06,200
cortez. Are there aoc? Yes, we manifested it. Yes we did, we did.

648
01:27:08,390 --> 01:27:09,710
we really did. Yes. So shout out to our former student, brandon.

649
01:27:13,610 --> 01:27:13,610
now esperanza, who told us a story last year in the sacramento trip about how aoc's
Offices is visited so much that she has post-it

650
01:27:23,480 --> 01:27:25,730
notes all over the door of her office. She's in longworth. So all day long I was like, doctor pierro, we need to go.

651
01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:32,120
doctor fierro, we need to go, right? He was like, okay, I'll take you there. I'll take you there. Right. You know. But of course, like, andrea has this like 20
Million meetings.

652
01:27:36,140 --> 01:27:37,850
so we're running around everywhere. And finally we finally the end of the day, I'm like, can we go by now?

653
01:27:42,020 --> 01:27:44,170
and he's like, okay. So he takes us. And sure enough, there were two student trustee leaders from sierra college, from one of
Our neighbors, and they were taking their time to write their post-it notes and actually

654
01:27:52,870 --> 01:27:52,870
have a moment, right? Because you know, she like her or not, she has a lot of fans,
Especially amongst young women.

655
01:28:00,310 --> 01:28:00,310
and so they're waiting and we're waiting patiently in the back because, you know, we
Don't want to ruin her moment either, like these two students.

656
01:28:06,790 --> 01:28:06,790
right? So sure enough, we finally get ready to write our post-it notes, and we turn to
The left.

657
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:12,950
and there she is. I was like, oh my gosh, because everything about the timing was perfect.

658
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:19,640
like, if we would have gone earlier, we probably would not have seen her. If those two student leaders were not there taking their time, we probably would have
Rushed to, but literally were at the right place right time.

659
01:28:25,730 --> 01:28:28,460
so it was really amazing. So we did manifest it, right? Don? Yes, go.

660
01:28:30,470 --> 01:28:30,470
go ahead, go ahead. I just felt it was a beautiful moment because my daughter was with
Us.

661
01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:36,120
and for her to be able to greet her and meet with her, it was just.

662
01:28:40,890 --> 01:28:42,300
just to see her face. It just brought you know, a warmness to my heart.

663
01:28:46,260 --> 01:28:49,440
so it was a great moment for us. Yes, yes. So, yeah. So really shout out to esperanza because again, we would not have been there if it wasn't
For that story.

664
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:54,570
so again, it was just really a very good trip, and I really hope we'll get some really
Positive benefits for cerritos college as well.

665
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:01,360
I think the other thing that was really interesting as part of the state trip was the
Focus on the baccalaureate degrees for nursing.

666
01:29:09,460 --> 01:29:09,460
so I'm sure some of you heard that senator roth, out from inland empire, has offered a
Piece of legislation that will allow a certain a number of districts to offer a

667
01:29:19,100 --> 01:29:20,210
baccalaureate degree. So we definitely have expressed our interest in competing.

668
01:29:24,650 --> 01:29:24,650
there's still a lot has to be done, but I just wanted everyone to know that too.

669
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,700
that is something that we are very interested in as well. And then also just to say what don mentioned about the chancellor's visit, I thought
Again, I've heard her over and over and over again.

670
01:29:38,630 --> 01:29:38,630
I feel she is a very good speaker, a very detailed data, but she explains it so easily
And succinctly.

671
01:29:47,820 --> 01:29:51,030
so you really can take away some of her, her big points. And I think, you know, one of the things that I feel that we do really well at cerritos
College is reaching those hard to reach populations that she's already talking about dual

672
01:30:00,090 --> 01:30:00,090
enrollment students, foster youth veterans, those who, again, who have experienced with
The justice system.

673
01:30:05,730 --> 01:30:05,730
so I do feel that we have a lot of head start and a lot of those populations and is
Really exciting to see.

674
01:30:12,010 --> 01:30:15,700
you know, the more work that everybody here at the campus does to support those students. So that's it.

675
01:30:17,140 --> 01:30:19,930
thank you. Thank you. Trustee perez trustee birkey.

676
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:26,200
that's I don't I don't have any cool stories like that. But I do want to say that yeah.

677
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:29,200
for my report, I joined all my colleagues yesterday with the chancellor and then today
With the assembly member.

678
01:30:37,710 --> 01:30:40,500
and I was late to both of those things. So I joining is probably an overstatement.

679
01:30:44,340 --> 01:30:44,340
but yeah, other than that no report.

680
01:30:49,590 --> 01:30:53,490
thank you. Trustee birkey. Trustee. I'm sorry, doctor fierro. Thank you, doctor salazar.

681
01:30:54,930 --> 01:30:57,940
so I text you before we get there. We're like, okay, we're on our way, so let's get in now.

682
01:31:03,220 --> 01:31:06,850
it's a very good time and I suppose it's all about timing. And that was really a nice thing.

683
01:31:09,610 --> 01:31:12,550
so so two pieces. So first I'm going to give you a quick overview of some of the things that I learned
About the budget just yesterday.

684
01:31:18,790 --> 01:31:18,790
and then I will ask vice president lopez to address a couple of the student comments.

685
01:31:26,030 --> 01:31:26,030
before we conclude the meeting, we usually don't address public comments, but I think
It's important to, to address these comments this evening.

686
01:31:33,530 --> 01:31:37,160
so so just be ready for it to you. So the first part on the budget, as trustee perez mentioned, it is incredibly interesting
To speak with

687
01:31:46,710 --> 01:31:46,710
people at the state level with the budget.

688
01:31:50,730 --> 01:31:50,730
as you know, I've been going basically every year there for the budget.

689
01:31:56,310 --> 01:31:59,190
and every year they tell you there's no money, we're not going to give you anything. But the conversation continues and eventually something happens.

690
01:32:03,210 --> 01:32:03,210
this year, the conversation has stopped at the point of even

691
01:32:12,580 --> 01:32:14,380
asking it. It's immediately redirected to something else.

692
01:32:17,980 --> 01:32:21,370
they also seem nervous and concerned. The level of disagreement between the two parties, the governor and the legislators about
The budget.

693
01:32:28,750 --> 01:32:28,750
now, what is making it incredibly more complicated are the projections by the legislative
Analyst's office.

694
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:36,080
so at some point, the legislative analyst's office said, okay, it's a 60 plus million
Dollar deficit.

695
01:32:43,970 --> 01:32:47,840
the governor presented about $38 billion deficit. It's still very large deficit.

696
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:50,000
and a new analysis of the legislative analyst's office says, okay, we're going to settle
Somewhere around 58.

697
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:02,200
they did some projections we collected. We mean the proverbial the royal.

698
01:33:04,300 --> 01:33:04,300
we. They collected revenues for february, and the projections are looking worse than they
Initially expected.

699
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:13,840
so yesterday the ilo mentioned that the deficit has grown to $73 billion.

700
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:24,200
so rather than shrinking, it has gone up by about over 15, I think 17 billion dollars.

701
01:33:32,900 --> 01:33:32,900
these projections are as of today, with today's numbers.

702
01:33:37,340 --> 01:33:37,340
however, when they looked at how taxes were collected in the month of january, they
Believe that these, rather than getting

703
01:33:47,340 --> 01:33:47,340
better, could grow by the time we have the may revise.

704
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:53,040
a prior report from the ilo also chose the because the taxes from 2223 were

705
01:34:02,610 --> 01:34:02,610
collected so late the legislation over the span.

706
01:34:08,890 --> 01:34:08,890
the past year to give us money this year, which in turn is going to add to our current
Deficit.

707
01:34:18,790 --> 01:34:18,790
and in other words, what that means is that the allow projects that that needs to be
Covered over a period of three years

708
01:34:28,570 --> 01:34:28,570
with roughly $30 billion a year.

709
01:34:32,660 --> 01:34:35,090
starting next year. And those are numbers based simply on projections.

710
01:34:38,480 --> 01:34:38,480
that makes it complicated for the governor and the legislation to agree on something.

711
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:46,280
how? Well, how you're going to spend it's an election year and how they're going to cover
The money that they already gave us, that we already spent.

712
01:34:55,350 --> 01:34:55,350
but there needs to be recorded in the books in addition to the lower tax revenues.

713
01:35:02,010 --> 01:35:02,010
the problem with that, aside of the money is that, remember, we're in an election year
And the governor only has two years left.

714
01:35:09,570 --> 01:35:09,570
so the legislation is going to be very skeptic of signing a deal that takes more than two
Years to level the

715
01:35:19,350 --> 01:35:20,750
budget. Why? Because by the time that is signed, the governor will be gone.

716
01:35:24,440 --> 01:35:27,170
but it still will be the problem of the legislation. And if you remember, the last cohort of legislation, the legislators that came was over
100 of them, which means all of them are likely to be

717
01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:40,430
here and owning that budget for the next 12 years. So it's going to be an interesting negotiation from that point of view.

718
01:35:44,430 --> 01:35:44,430
the other point, the impact k-12 is a small discrepancy of $1 billion on prop 98.

719
01:35:54,480 --> 01:35:54,480
so the governor has said over and over again, the prop 98 is not going to be touched.

720
01:35:59,550 --> 01:35:59,550
just to refresh your mind, prop 98 is where we get our allocation from.

721
01:36:05,490 --> 01:36:05,490
the problem is the last year the legislation gave us $1 billion more than they should
Have given us because the taxes were

722
01:36:15,340 --> 01:36:18,280
not calculated correctly based on late returns. So rather than collecting the extra money they gave us, the governor is proposing not to
Take the money away and continue to fund

723
01:36:28,210 --> 01:36:28,210
us next year based on current allocation.

724
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:32,720
now, you may be asking yourself, how is it that we're going to get $1 billion and no one
Is going to charge us for it?

725
01:36:40,670 --> 01:36:40,670
I'm going to try to explain this the best possible way, but it's very complicated that
I'm not really sure I'm going to do it justice.

726
01:36:49,070 --> 01:36:49,070
so what the governor is proposing in the current budget is not to cut or resources the $1
Billion that were allocated to us, but he's also proposing not

727
01:36:58,980 --> 01:37:02,820
to record them in the books. And if you do not record it in the books, technically your budget saves $1 billion
Carrying over

728
01:37:12,750 --> 01:37:14,070
the next year. The legislation budget is one year budget.

729
01:37:17,070 --> 01:37:19,720
no projections do not count one year budget. So as long as I close and I'm even that calls it a balanced budget rather than an
Unbalanced budget, I do not recommend to run your personal finances that way.

730
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:29,200
so what they're trying to do is not record those $8 billion, maintain the funding, fund
Us at that level.

731
01:37:36,790 --> 01:37:36,790
and over the next five years, the governor will allocate out of the general fund $1.6
Billion into prop

732
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:49,910
98 above the guarantee. There are a few issues with that one.

733
01:37:52,430 --> 01:37:54,230
$1 billion is a lot of money. Two, we already have a $73 billion deficit for the legislation cannot approve things that
Are

734
01:38:03,500 --> 01:38:07,390
outside of their budget year. And three this will add to your deficit of the $30 billion.

735
01:38:12,550 --> 01:38:12,550
long story short, it is important for us to be very realistic as to what we need to do as
We move forward over the

736
01:38:22,510 --> 01:38:22,510
next three years, because whatever way, ultimately this budget is balanced, we either get
Some

737
01:38:32,630 --> 01:38:32,630
sort of deferral of deficit factor in order to be able to meet the numbers that they are
Trying to project.

738
01:38:41,630 --> 01:38:41,630
this is obviously if the budget and tax revenues do not improve, which according to the
Legislative analyst's

739
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:55,160
office, they are unlikely to improve. Hopefully hopefully that make sense.

740
01:38:58,020 --> 01:38:58,020
if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them after.

741
01:39:03,180 --> 01:39:06,300
now to the comments on on security. So I will just address a couple of things and I will ask felipe to, to expand.

742
01:39:12,810 --> 01:39:12,810
one of the initiatives that we have on campus is based on efficiency, on energy
Consumption.

743
01:39:20,710 --> 01:39:20,710
so yes, if there is an empty parking lot, you see it darker, meaning the cost of the
Light is very dim.

744
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:29,560
however, as you walk through those slides, turn on meaning that if it's someone there,
The light turns on.

745
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:38,320
this is done in order to reduce the footprint and to minimize energy consumption.

746
01:39:44,300 --> 01:39:47,390
it is not done to make anyone look mysterious. And if someone is saying that, please let us know, because the actual reason of having
The slides is to minimize the footprint,

747
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:56,600
therefore lower the impact in our energy consumption two

748
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:08,220
harassment pieces. There are two ways in which data that address one there is a legal descriptor of that.

749
01:40:16,290 --> 01:40:16,290
and when the police can intervene, and two, where it becomes a title nine issue.

750
01:40:22,170 --> 01:40:22,170
and those guidelines are a bit different when you are inside of an educational
Institution based on title nine regulations.

751
01:40:31,260 --> 01:40:31,260
those reports are usually done through the office of human resources or through the
Office of doctor liz

752
01:40:41,030 --> 01:40:41,030
miller. And then she will be able to sort out if that is something that needs to be
Routed through hr or through that office, if it crosses the line to a legal

753
01:40:50,570 --> 01:40:50,570
definition, oftentimes it's handled by both entities or police department and our title
Nine

754
01:41:00,150 --> 01:41:02,580
investigators out of hr. It is very, very important to remember and understand that you do not want campus police
Involved in all disputes.

755
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:12,240
there is a there is a there is a delineation of where they should and should not
Intervene based on their

756
01:41:21,700 --> 01:41:21,700
boundaries and based on how we want to interact with campus police.

757
01:41:27,220 --> 01:41:27,220
we have come a long way, for instance, in which there was someone playing loud music.

758
01:41:32,500 --> 01:41:33,970
so we will call campus police. That is not a police issue, and we don't want to do that because that could easily lead
To abuse of force.

759
01:41:40,750 --> 01:41:40,750
and we have done a lot of work on this campus to ensure that that does not happen.

760
01:41:46,010 --> 01:41:46,010
so alaska vice president lopez, to address some of the security and environmental cameras
And so

761
01:41:55,910 --> 01:41:55,910
on. We cannot tell you exactly where the cameras are, but I guarantee you that their
Cameras, their, in fact, their cameras in other places on campus.

762
01:42:05,750 --> 01:42:08,550
but some of those you cannot see. Right. And then I will ask vice president gutierrez to talk a little bit about title nine
And harassment.

763
01:42:14,490 --> 01:42:18,270
thank you, doctor fierro. And thank you, board of trustees. Just to kind of expand a little bit on that.

764
01:42:20,730 --> 01:42:23,910
and this is always an evolving process on it. So first of of four foremost, you know safety is always at the very top of our list of
Ensuring

765
01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:33,760
that not only of our students, our employees feel safe and a welcoming environment here
On campus on that.

766
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:45,430
you know, lighting is always a pet peeve of mine. I, I'm probably a stickler on lighting on that, and I'm constantly looking at lighting on
That, whether it's

767
01:42:54,430 --> 01:42:56,990
interior, or exterior. On that. And so we so just to kind of give you some processes that we go through every
Night part of the duties of our campus police

768
01:43:06,650 --> 01:43:06,650
department is to identify any potential dark spots, light bulbs that go out, because,
Again, lights do go out whether or not it's rain,

769
01:43:16,460 --> 01:43:16,460
excess rain. You know, we have many times when we have a lot of rain, we short out areas
Of our campus on lighting and we're constantly repairing and updating

770
01:43:25,810 --> 01:43:29,020
lighting on that. So this is always an evolving process. So every, every day our dispatch gets a listing of any lights that were reported by any
Of the officers on that.

771
01:43:37,630 --> 01:43:41,080
then that gets submitted to our facilities department. So they have a running tally of what is what they have identified on it.

772
01:43:44,510 --> 01:43:44,510
and depending on what it is, if they if it's a known thing that they're waiting to
Currently fix, you know, we're always addressing those on that.

773
01:43:52,460 --> 01:43:52,460
I also personally go around monitoring lights myself particularly at least on a monthly
Basis since I am here during late nights

774
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,450
on board meetings. And so that is part of what I do. So because I, you know, when I address lighting, I want to make sure I'm not necessarily
I trust my folks, but to me, I like to speak

775
01:44:15,420 --> 01:44:18,720
on behalf of it when I actually physically see it myself. And so I can address it a lot better.

776
01:44:20,820 --> 01:44:20,820
and so I do look at lights in a different way than perhaps our facilities and campus
Police do just to ensure that there's enough light on that.

777
01:44:31,230 --> 01:44:31,230
one of the things that we always struggle with, especially on our parking lots, because
This is actually at our parking lot level, is our our lighting system itself.

778
01:44:40,090 --> 01:44:40,090
it is an energy efficient lighting system which is designed to lower down power down to
50% when there is no activity around.

779
01:44:49,690 --> 01:44:49,690
so from a distance, when you're looking out at a light and I can see this a lot of times
When there was no activity in like lot one or lot ten on that, that it looks

780
01:44:59,540 --> 01:45:02,120
oh man, I wish there was more light out there. Well, that's design on purpose because again, they're energy efficient lights.

781
01:45:05,990 --> 01:45:05,990
and we're also looking at our energy consumption on that.

782
01:45:10,610 --> 01:45:13,310
so those are designed to power down at 50%. When it does sense movement they do power back up to 100%.

783
01:45:17,870 --> 01:45:17,870
on that. So those are some of the things that, that our lighting system is, does, you
Know, in the interior of our campus, we've been

784
01:45:27,450 --> 01:45:27,450
working pretty extensively to update some of our lightings on, on on that.

785
01:45:32,850 --> 01:45:32,850
and so you know, we just finished a project around the liberal arts and sas project not
Too long ago.

786
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:42,360
we had old incandescent light bulbs still surrounding that that were actually burnt out.

787
01:45:47,210 --> 01:45:47,210
we actually just recently just got those replaced by new led lights on that.

788
01:45:52,730 --> 01:45:52,730
and so lighting is always a constant for us looking to try to improve lighting throughout
The campus to make sure, again, that everyone feels safe.

789
01:46:02,180 --> 01:46:02,180
if there is ever a lighting situation or a particular area, you know, we want people to
To report that, you know, either get reported to

790
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:11,880
facilities, can we surely report it to my office, but also be specific on the areas?

791
01:46:16,830 --> 01:46:16,830
because if you say, oh, there's a lighting problem we're at, you know, it's also helpful
To, to be specific of what areas, what lights you're looking at specifically.

792
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,730
so we can address some of those issues on that. Regarding cameras, we have over 300 cameras on campus.

793
01:46:34,990 --> 01:46:38,260
on that. And so cameras are not designed. Cameras are really a deterrent there.

794
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:43,990
we do not have personnel that are monitoring cameras 24 seven. It's just we don't have manpower like that.

795
01:46:46,450 --> 01:46:48,370
that's impossible on that. But cameras are utilized as a one, a deterrent.

796
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:52,600
and two, if something is, we can actually report back and look at situations on that.

797
01:46:59,810 --> 01:46:59,810
when it comes to actual cameras in the parking lots I would say that, you know, could we
Do better of having

798
01:47:09,770 --> 01:47:12,950
cameras out in lots? Of course we always can. Do we have cameras that do capture activity in our parking lots?

799
01:47:16,610 --> 01:47:16,610
absolutely. And so all of our emergency blue phones have cameras on them.

800
01:47:21,090 --> 01:47:21,090
and so when we have a number of emergency blue phones that we have been installing in
Parking lots on that, particularly in lot ten, there's four, if my memory

801
01:47:31,020 --> 01:47:31,020
serves me correct for emergency blue phones that survey the parking lot, just that lot
Ten itself on that.

802
01:47:38,730 --> 01:47:38,730
so we do have lights things on that.

803
01:47:43,050 --> 01:47:43,050
not everyone knows where all the parking lots, because we we keep that pretty tight on
Who has access to those because, again, we don't monitor them.

804
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:51,760
they're they're specifically used for certain purposes in event of emergencies and things
Of that sort.

805
01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:59,470
but we can always expand on that. And we're looking to expand once we start incorporating our solar project our actual
Solar canopies in there.

806
01:48:08,370 --> 01:48:08,370
we'll start to expand because we're starting to put power, more additional power and data
Out into the parking lot.

807
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:15,360
so eventually we're going to be expanding our footprint when it comes to cameras on that.

808
01:48:20,970 --> 01:48:20,970
so but yeah, we don't have cameras in every areas because obviously there's areas that
Are deemed sensitive that we cannot put cameras, we don't have cameras in classrooms.

809
01:48:30,300 --> 01:48:33,940
you know, we don't that's that's not a thing that we do. And we. I'm sure faculty don't want cameras in their in any of their things.

810
01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:38,560
but we do have cameras in hallways going in and outside of our campus and stuff like
That.

811
01:48:45,940 --> 01:48:49,090
but again, cameras are used as a deterrent. They're not a preventative solution on that because we do not dispatch does not have have
The resources on that.

812
01:48:57,470 --> 01:48:57,470
they're they're managing the dispatch phones, not necessarily cameras, but we use them in
Conjunction when there is incidences on campus that we can tap into the cameras and look

813
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:10,850
and see things going on when there is a situation on, on campus. And so we take that very serious.

814
01:49:14,060 --> 01:49:16,910
and, but we're always looking to improve that on that. And any threat that is done on our campus, we take very seriously.

815
01:49:21,900 --> 01:49:21,900
I, I there was a mention of the incident in the missions and records office on that.

816
01:49:28,470 --> 01:49:28,470
and you know, and again, you know, the, the use the term because I folks use this all the
Time.

817
01:49:35,790 --> 01:49:36,900
word on the street. Word on the street tends to get misconstrued a lot.

818
01:49:40,950 --> 01:49:40,950
but at least the initial report I have received directly from the chief.

819
01:49:46,150 --> 01:49:46,150
this incident was looked into and found not to be a threat at all.

820
01:49:51,970 --> 01:49:51,970
because there was no actual communication with any of the staff.

821
01:49:56,470 --> 01:49:56,470
it appears as this person may have been on a earbud talking to a friend, and in
Conversations, things came up that kind of frightened folks on

822
01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:07,300
that on that. So. But our officers have looked into the situation.

823
01:50:10,940 --> 01:50:10,940
this particular student in question was dropping a class, dropping his only class on
Campus.

824
01:50:17,570 --> 01:50:17,570
campus police actually went to his house just to observe contact, personally drove up
There and there was no answer.

825
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:26,330
personally called several times. Still no answer. But we'll still continue to follow up just to have that conversation,
Just to make sure that there is really no threat, because all the information that we

826
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:36,240
have gathered doesn't seem to be a threat on that, but we go we go beyond that call to
Ensure the safety

827
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,920
of our students and staff and faculty on campus. So just just wanted to provide a little insight into that, because obviously, I'm pretty
Close to any incident that happens on campus, as

828
01:50:59,420 --> 01:50:59,420
usually the chief is calling me right away if there's a situation that needs to be
Addressed.

829
01:51:04,460 --> 01:51:04,460
so happy to take any questions any of the board may have, but thank you.

830
01:51:11,090 --> 01:51:12,890
I did have a question. Who decides like where to place cameras or lighting?

831
01:51:16,430 --> 01:51:18,380
like, is this all internal? Have we ever used the consultant to say, you know who.

832
01:51:21,390 --> 01:51:21,390
that's their expertise and can give some recommendations in terms of an evaluation?

833
01:51:25,740 --> 01:51:27,120
yeah. Great question. We have cameras situated in certain areas for a number of different situations.

834
01:51:32,910 --> 01:51:32,910
for instance we do have some cameras positioned in certain classrooms.

835
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:37,800
certain programs, because those programs have historically had some issues in them either
Theft or it

836
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:47,800
could be just some disagreements with students on that.

837
01:51:52,390 --> 01:51:52,390
so we've had to put cameras to help monitor that situations.

838
01:51:56,470 --> 01:51:59,440
auto tech has a lot of cameras in that area. Given the nature of of their things on that things, have, you know, been stolen or things
Like that.

839
01:52:04,990 --> 01:52:04,990
so, so cameras in those situations have put there directly to help deter some bad

840
01:52:14,810 --> 01:52:14,810
actors that that we have historically had to deal with regarding cameras in general.

841
01:52:20,660 --> 01:52:20,660
so we do use a consultant, like for our emergency blue phones.

842
01:52:24,860 --> 01:52:24,860
that was an actual process that we went through to strategically put them in areas that
Likely would if there was going to be a situation where students could have the

843
01:52:34,500 --> 01:52:38,310
ability or our employees have the ability to get to quickly. And so you can see those those kind of if you look at the map of our emergency blue
Phones, they kind of not only have access in the core of it,

844
01:52:48,210 --> 01:52:48,210
but also access outside the core, because likely in the event that something's going to
Happen, you're going to be outdoors, likely going to your car in the parking lot.

845
01:52:57,400 --> 01:52:57,400
so we wanted to make sure that they were accessible close by to any of the parking lots.

846
01:53:02,350 --> 01:53:02,350
so all the parking lots have a blue pole nearby on that.

847
01:53:07,030 --> 01:53:09,910
there's also emergency blue phones inside. Each for, I would say, majority of the buildings, you can go into the main hallway areas
On that to be able to

848
01:53:19,890 --> 01:53:19,890
identify a blue, a blue emergency pull in that in any construction of any new building,
We work with

849
01:53:29,190 --> 01:53:29,190
consultants to strategically put cameras in certain areas.

850
01:53:33,750 --> 01:53:35,790
what's best captures views. We also have both our campus police involved in that from their perspective, where where
Would they want them so they can see oncoming people going either in

851
01:53:45,790 --> 01:53:47,230
or out of the building on that. So we use multiple use a vendor for their expertise, but also use the campus police from
Their point of view, which

852
01:53:56,950 --> 01:53:56,950
best works for them to be able to to, to monitor that.

853
01:54:02,350 --> 01:54:02,350
so it's a combination of those and any implementation, any building we we also
Incorporate a new emergency blue phone around that building on the

854
01:54:12,230 --> 01:54:15,800
outside of not only in the inside, but also the outside of the building. So so that is part of the consulting process that we go through when we're expanding.

855
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:24,830
on our campus right now. And, and I can't remember the number of emergency blue, what I would say emergency blue
Towers, because it's a difference between towers, which are the poles,

856
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:34,800
the eight footers that you or nine footers that you see outside versus versus the
Emergency blue phones that are inside the actual building itself.

857
01:54:41,970 --> 01:54:41,970
and so it's a equipment that sits on a board, a wall about yay high.

858
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:48,120
and it's lit up this blue light on that, those are inside.

859
01:54:52,770 --> 01:54:56,140
and obviously you see our blue emergency towers. Which one is right here?

860
01:54:57,250 --> 01:55:00,850
right outside? The admin building right here. On that, that also lights up.

861
01:55:02,500 --> 01:55:02,500
each of them are light up and we go through a process of testing those very frequently to
Make sure one there's good communication.

862
01:55:10,210 --> 01:55:10,210
actually, we just tested them over the weekend and we reported back some, some some
Updates that we need to do to them

863
01:55:19,210 --> 01:55:19,210
changing volume on that, either, you know, things of that sort.

864
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:23,600
so we go through a pretty extensive process and making sure that that when those are
Pushed that they're actually going to be working devices on that.

865
01:55:33,290 --> 01:55:33,290
so and how often do you kind of look back and say, do we need to change anything or add
Or take away or move?

866
01:55:41,030 --> 01:55:41,030
so we're always looking to add, you know, we haven't unless you know, unless you know
Actually we made some modifications to one

867
01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:50,920
because we actually put it in an area and it was actually monitored by solar, but we had
A big tree that kept growing and growing and creating shade, and we

868
01:56:00,850 --> 01:56:00,850
couldn't keep the darn blue phone activated because the battery would drain, because
There was no sunlight on that.

869
01:56:07,420 --> 01:56:07,420
so we had to do some modifications of moving that, or trimming the tree or cutting the
Tree down because it was impacting the use of of that.

870
01:56:15,060 --> 01:56:18,600
so we kind of go through that process of evaluating them. But we're always looking to expand, as you know, we find areas that on that we have a
Pretty since the project that we initially did a number of years ago

871
01:56:28,500 --> 01:56:30,900
to expand campus wide. We have a very robust blue phones throughout the entire campus.

872
01:56:36,820 --> 01:56:36,820
but like I said, as we evolve in buildings, building new buildings, we keep expanding
That footprint and footprint throughout the campus.

873
01:56:49,150 --> 01:56:50,860
I have a question. When you have or the I guess, what we would call, like a safety plan update.

874
01:56:57,670 --> 01:56:57,670
do you have students sit on that like advisory council to give input?

875
01:57:03,430 --> 01:57:03,430
we do have a safety a campus safety planning committee.

876
01:57:07,510 --> 01:57:07,510
it's co-chaired by the chief and the director of our physical plan and construction.

877
01:57:12,010 --> 01:57:12,010
and there is a at least a student that sits on that, that committee.

878
01:57:18,220 --> 01:57:18,220
so all of our shared governance committees do have students that sit on them as well.

879
01:57:23,750 --> 01:57:23,750
and so that, that that committee in particular on it.

880
01:57:28,430 --> 01:57:28,430
and so I'm not sure I'm everyone has an a student whether or not there is a student that
Actively shows up.

881
01:57:35,150 --> 01:57:35,150
I don't know that on that, but that does that committee does have a student assigned to
It.

882
01:57:43,370 --> 01:57:43,370
I just wanted to know if campus police has access to the cameras or.

883
01:57:47,910 --> 01:57:50,250
of course. Okay. Because the campus police did come to a senate today, and they told students that there
Weren't cameras, and that's the impression that students got.

884
01:58:00,930 --> 01:58:00,930
so I just wanted to know who exactly should we go to to confirm?

885
01:58:06,780 --> 01:58:10,390
so was the so was a question asked do we have cameras? And the answer was no, we don't have cameras I would I it's hard to imagine you can
Answer that for you.

886
01:58:17,170 --> 01:58:17,170
it's hard to imagine that campus police would say, no, we don't have cameras when I know
We have over 300 of them on campus.

887
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:26,440
so I again, I don't know what the context of the conversation was, but yeah, go ahead.

888
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:35,850
sorry. I can answer that one. So the chief of police did say that there was cameras, but that there was no cameras in
The parking lots, that there were some cameras that were pointed towards

889
01:58:46,110 --> 01:58:49,500
the parking lot. But the vision was very blurry. Yeah. So there was no real way of figuring out if a car got broken into or stolen or
Vandalized?

890
01:58:57,700 --> 01:59:00,100
right. That's what he told us. Yeah. So, you know, and again, I don't want to go into too specifics and I don't want to
Get off topic.

891
01:59:05,830 --> 01:59:05,830
but again, you know, most of our cameras are either attached to buildings or around
Buildings on that.

892
01:59:13,150 --> 01:59:16,480
we do have cameras that face parking lots. Like I mentioned before, could could the camera on the parking lots be better?

893
01:59:21,140 --> 01:59:21,140
absolutely. But we do have emergency blue phones in parking lots that do capture parking
Lots.

894
01:59:29,300 --> 01:59:29,300
but I would also say that we probably don't have cameras that capture every single
Footprint of our parking lots throughout the

895
01:59:39,290 --> 01:59:40,400
campus on that. So depending on what lot you're referring to would depend on how the availability of
Access we have to, to look to, to

896
01:59:50,310 --> 01:59:52,260
look at that parking lot. Okay. I personally don't think that's good enough.

897
01:59:55,110 --> 01:59:57,750
and I'm not I don't know who's in control of that. I personally don't think that's good enough.

898
01:59:59,670 --> 02:00:02,340
and that's why students are coming here and saying they're not feeling safe. And that's a discussion that people are having because of things like that.

899
02:00:06,600 --> 02:00:07,980
I just wanted to put that out there. If I could just echo student trustees.

900
02:00:10,780 --> 02:00:10,780
I mean, I think I know we have some secret cameras, apparently.

901
02:00:15,490 --> 02:00:15,490
but I think very visible cameras in the parking lots would be really helpful.

902
02:00:21,430 --> 02:00:21,430
and I think it's particularly important, like, we're, what, 130 acres is a campus.

903
02:00:26,920 --> 02:00:26,920
it's really big. Probably 40% of that is parking lot, so I don't know what that equals,
But it's probably dozens and dozens and dozens of acres of

904
02:00:36,560 --> 02:00:36,560
parking. That being said, particularly for female students, and there's a lot of female
Students that make up our student population being able to feel safe and know

905
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:48,770
that there's visual deterrents. I, I don't see any downside to making sure we have some level of allocation of
Expenditure for improving the visibility of cameras, and both

906
02:00:58,480 --> 02:00:58,480
the how well cameras see and how visible they are to see.

907
02:01:02,710 --> 02:01:04,690
yeah, I think that would be all right. Yeah, I don't disagree with that.

908
02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:08,440
and one of the the issues or at least the you know, why there isn't as many as we want is
Because obviously when parking lots were built, they

909
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:18,400
weren't built with that infrastructure for us to do it, to put that infrastructure in
Meant that we would, you know, have to

910
02:01:27,770 --> 02:01:30,140
trench in. Yeah, yeah. On that. But there is new technology that we have been looking into that allows us that, that
Ability on that.

911
02:01:36,260 --> 02:01:36,260
and so we've been having those discussions now to help not only getting cameras out
There, but we're also talking about wi-fi, getting wi-fi out to the parking lots on that.

912
02:01:45,300 --> 02:01:45,300
so those are some steps that we are looking at right now to expand our footprint to those
Outer perimeters of our campus.

913
02:01:53,100 --> 02:01:53,100
and so thank you.

914
02:01:59,460 --> 02:02:03,120
thanks. Thank you. Thank you, vp lopez.

915
02:02:07,740 --> 02:02:09,220
evp. Yeah. Evp. Where were we?

916
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:15,520
did you finish? Oh, sorry. Did you finish your report? Yes. Vice president gutierrez was going to talk about title nine, but that is that's.

917
02:02:21,940 --> 02:02:21,940
we can skip if you want right now.

918
02:02:27,910 --> 02:02:31,570
yeah, we can skip now. You have a long report. That's a very long report.

919
02:02:33,380 --> 02:02:33,380
I think if does anyone have any objection to skipping it and maybe saving it for the next
Meeting?

920
02:02:38,300 --> 02:02:40,040
we don't. It's his report. It's his. Oh, that's how this is all buried in.

921
02:02:43,850 --> 02:02:45,470
in the president's report here. My report was brief, and it was about the budget that.

922
02:02:48,080 --> 02:02:50,330
no, no, no, I think. Well, I think, I mean, if students have a concern with safety, I'm glad we took the time
To really kind of delve a little bit deeper and and see how we can.

923
02:02:58,890 --> 02:03:02,850
I mean, I think priority is, is kind of what the students are talking about right now. So I'm glad doctor ferro brought that up and and that you came and spoke up about that
And, and maybe kind of come up with the plan.

924
02:03:09,150 --> 02:03:09,150
I mean, I don't know if sending out like, little, I don't know, something that we can
Work with the students.

925
02:03:14,340 --> 02:03:14,340
right, to kind of actively hear their concerns or have, you know, sending out newsletters
Of occurrences so they know, like the campus is safe, right?

926
02:03:21,620 --> 02:03:21,620
if there's really no complaints to, you know, campus police or there's no events or, you
Know, negative events or then the students should know that as well, right?

927
02:03:31,550 --> 02:03:31,550
I mean, they might feel unsafe, but but the numbers might say that the campus is safe,
Right?

928
02:03:36,020 --> 02:03:38,570
or is there a question of underreporting? So I think all those things we can work on.

929
02:03:41,810 --> 02:03:41,810
right. So I, you know, maybe at the next meeting come up with like just a little update of
How we can work with the students and make sure that that their needs are being met.

930
02:03:51,300 --> 02:03:51,300
and I do like the idea of sometimes cameras maybe are better when they are a little more
Visible.

931
02:03:57,000 --> 02:03:57,000
obviously the ones that are hidden first, you know, certain reasons are good, but to make
Sure that there's also visibility so they they might feel a little bit safer as well.

932
02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:07,680
so I think we can work on it. I definitely if it's something that and my question would be why are they are they
Feeling unsafe right now.

933
02:04:14,530 --> 02:04:16,180
like you know, what's going on. Like were there things happening, you know, things students are saying, like because the
Campus has been kind of pretty stable, right?

934
02:04:23,500 --> 02:04:23,500
this for years. So the question is what's going on that the students are feeling unsafe.

935
02:04:28,210 --> 02:04:28,210
safe. One thing that I did wanted to point out that that's tying this all together, that
We actually just

936
02:04:38,120 --> 02:04:38,120
did not too long ago we actually added signage in addition to that.

937
02:04:43,610 --> 02:04:43,610
so we have over 50 signs throughout the campus that identify that, hey, we're watching
You.

938
02:04:49,430 --> 02:04:49,430
you're on camera. So that has actually been something that new that recently just been
Added on that.

939
02:04:55,460 --> 02:04:57,780
so but I just wanted to share that as well. So now not only whether or not you see your camera, we also do have signage throughout
The campus that is now identifying you that that there is

940
02:05:07,620 --> 02:05:09,960
video footage going on. So and I think, I think that is a good idea.

941
02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:14,760
doctor salazar. So we'll get the chief to come back next time.

942
02:05:19,110 --> 02:05:19,110
we do have safety reports and they are publicly available.

943
02:05:24,460 --> 02:05:24,460
so I think our last report is just a couple of months old at most, and it should be in
Our website

944
02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:36,220
under the police tab. And if I recall correctly it's been a bit since I read it.

945
02:05:41,710 --> 02:05:41,710
the stats are actually lower than our local community, so well, we can't say that there
Are zero incidents on campus.

946
02:05:50,300 --> 02:05:50,300
we can't say based on the data that we have a safe campus and the or incidents of crime
Are significantly

947
02:05:59,750 --> 02:06:01,490
lower than our local community. But nevertheless safety is something that you feel, not something that you show with
Numbers.

948
02:06:09,430 --> 02:06:13,420
so we'll have the chief come back. We will continue to add cameras. I can't remember how many we have added, but if you recall, we did not have blue lights
Prior to

949
02:06:23,140 --> 02:06:23,140
16. And from there, as we develop our optics.

950
02:06:28,660 --> 02:06:28,660
no, not the optics, but the optic fiber that on that we continue to add more because as
Vice president lopez mentioned, one of the challenges we had.

951
02:06:38,660 --> 02:06:38,660
and every time that we do a project, we trench and we throw more, more fiber optic is the
Some of our areas that are farther away from the main

952
02:06:48,200 --> 02:06:51,980
buildings on campus do not have access to data. So we have been in our plan continue to expand.

953
02:06:54,890 --> 02:06:54,890
we'll continue to expand because today they're necessary and, and as

954
02:07:04,770 --> 02:07:04,770
the technology is available, please do know the we do not disagree with the comments.

955
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:11,880
we are 100% in agreement. And and you will see most of more cameras as obviously the technology is available and
Two were able to to, to make

956
02:07:21,850 --> 02:07:21,850
more holes on the ground to lay more infrastructure for those but there continue to
Increase, they will continue to increase.

957
02:07:29,710 --> 02:07:29,710
and that is not disagreement with the comments about making sure the there more lights
And we

958
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:39,400
have additional focus on that area.

959
02:07:50,990 --> 02:07:50,990
hello again. So just to reiterate, if there's anything that we as the students can do, I
Know that the student government right now is very active in the sense of wanting

960
02:08:00,920 --> 02:08:00,920
to ensure that these target areas are met for the again, for the safety of all, not just
The students, but for faculty, staff, everyone who comes on campus.

961
02:08:09,660 --> 02:08:09,660
thank you. Thank you.

962
02:08:15,900 --> 02:08:18,390
jose. And please come back and let us know. Maybe you can give us a little report at the next meeting.

963
02:08:21,990 --> 02:08:21,990
kind of more information kind of with the student perspective is.

964
02:08:26,790 --> 02:08:30,120
and any other comments on this topic? Hearing none. Doctor fierro.

965
02:08:31,500 --> 02:08:33,450
any other? No. I'm I'm coming out okay.

966
02:08:35,910 --> 02:08:38,850
well, I wanted to so. Yeah, I just have a quick report. I'll keep it.

967
02:08:40,140 --> 02:08:41,490
try to keep it brief. The first one is I did attend part of the legislative days, and I wanted to just
Acknowledge andrea for her.

968
02:08:49,620 --> 02:08:51,960
lots of hard work. She. It was very professional. She gave us a whole booklet with information and really kind of guided us through that
Since a lot of us don't have too much experience, you know, legislating in

969
02:09:01,680 --> 02:09:04,530
sacramento. So I wanted to thank her for that and all the efforts. She did a fabulous job with that.

970
02:09:06,630 --> 02:09:06,630
also, I attended the norwalk-la mirada reopening with my fellow trustees.

971
02:09:11,130 --> 02:09:14,310
I wanted to thank the staff for putting that together. And then lastly, the groundbreaking today.

972
02:09:18,060 --> 02:09:22,000
you know, I just wanted to put it on the record, you know, the people we should thank. You know, when the president's office and their staff and all the staff that made that
Event happen, even though it was indoors, we were able to show off the technology and the

973
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:34,180
screen. So I think it was still a successful event. Also, doctor anthony rendon, speaker emeritus and assembly member, blanca pacheco pretty
Much for giving us a large chunk of money to really make that building

974
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:43,600
happen. And and importantly, most importantly, our community that they voted yes for
Measure cc right.

975
02:09:51,290 --> 02:09:51,290
so without the support of our community we this wouldn't be happening as well.

976
02:09:56,090 --> 02:09:56,090
so wanted to acknowledge our, our community and, and hope that they can come out and we
Can maybe do something where they can showcase and and I'm sure you'll be planning that in

977
02:10:05,930 --> 02:10:05,930
the future. And then tilden coil and hpa architects as well, for all their hard work.

978
02:10:12,180 --> 02:10:16,110
and it was a great event. We were all there. We all were in the picture. So it was a it was a good event.

979
02:10:19,170 --> 02:10:22,770
and with that we have a closed session. Do we have a readout?

980
