[26:28] }
[26:31] ok?
[26:32] So, we should find out about
[26:37] that by the end of August or
[26:37] early September.
[26:38] Once we
[26:38] get all of that
[26:39] information we May find we have
[26:41] some additional income.
[26:43] At which point the
[26:48] dean
[26:48] and
[26:49] administrators will be working
[26:49] with staff.
[26:54] As you
[26:58] know, we did mention that
[26:58] every division will have an
[26:59] administrative assistant and a
[27:01] clerk.
[27:02] We are proceeding with that.
[27:06] Not every division has had their
[27:07] full complement yet.
[27:12] As I talked to all the deans and
[27:13] so on and made it clear to them
[27:13] that they don'
[27:14] t have to worry
[27:14] about
[27:14] that.
[27:18] So that in the fall
[27:20] semester,
[27:22] before the end of
[27:23] the fall
[27:24] semester those positions will be
[27:24] filled.
[27:24] All right?
[27:29] >> we May have to reduce office
[27:32] hours? >> he will
[27:32] not let that
[27:33] happen.
[27:34] We will be working with you in
[27:35] there are many ways to be happy
[27:36] with that.
[27:36] All right?
[27:47] >> I was looking at the hiring
[27:47] procedures.
[27:51] It had one or two classified
[27:53] positions on
[27:54] it.
[27:56] But there were no faculty.
[27:57] Faculty heavily depends upon the
[27:58] administrative
[28:02] system
[28:02] and the
[28:03] clerk.
[28:04] I wonder why there is no faculty
[28:10] am a hiring committee.
[28:10] >> all
[28:11] that I can tell you is that he
[28:12] will follow the administrative
[28:13] procedures as they exist.
[28:17] Hr has been working
[28:21] with the
[28:23] administrator in
[28:23] charge to make
[28:24] sure that all groups that work
[28:26] with that classified person have
[28:29] room -- representative on that
[28:29] committee.
[28:31] I'
[28:33] m pretty sure that
[28:33] hr will be
[28:34] working with those groups to
[28:36] make that a reality.
[28:39] Yes?
[28:47] >> [Inaudible]
[28:53] >> each
[28:55] area figured that out by
[28:56] itself.
[29:00] Each area.
[29:05] One thing that all areas look
[29:06] that was consistency.
[29:09] Each division came up with its
[29:09] own approach.
[29:15] To reduce their workforce and
[29:17] figure out
[29:18] when they can bring
[29:18] more college assistant act.
[29:22] They had to study their
[29:22] needs
[29:23] first.
[29:24] Yes?
[29:27] >> [Inaudible]
[29:34] >> we are recording this.
[29:35] It makes it easier.
[29:37] >> to follow up on
[29:37] college
[29:38] assistance, everyone who was
[29:40] working as an assistant
[29:42] basically has to
[29:43] be processed
[29:43] again?
[29:47] Basically, it'
[29:47] s a do over?
[29:49] >> it is, it is.
[29:53] In your case, jim and joe --
[29:57] jim, right?
[29:57] They'
[29:58] ve been briefed
[30:01] by hr on the process in use
[30:01] right now.
[30:04] They'
[30:05] ve looked at their whole
[30:05] system.
[30:06] They have look at how many they
[30:07] have
[30:08] and assessing their needs
[30:10] in them they will work with the
[30:11] faculty and staff.
[30:17] >> if someone is hired this year
[30:18] , will they have to go through
[30:20] this process again in the
[30:20] following year?
[30:23] >> I don'
[30:23] t know the answer to
[30:23] that.
[30:25] Anyone?
[30:29] >> the answer to the question is
[30:30] yes.
[30:34] Every year we should be doing a
[30:35] mass termination of temporary
[30:37] employees and
[30:38] rehiring them and
[30:39] doing the paperwork again for
[30:41] July first.
[30:42] That'
[30:42] s something that we should
[30:43] be doing and it'
[30:43] s why we are
[30:43] starting
[30:43] again.
[30:48] >> one quick last
[30:51] follow-up, is
[30:51] there any allowance made for
[30:52] when they have to go through
[30:55] this process again?
[30:56] Of getting the live scan with
[30:57] all of those
[30:58] expenses?
[31:02] Some of them are not being paid
[31:03] a lot of money to have to do
[31:03] this every
[31:03] year.
[31:07] Or does that stay in effect?
[31:11] >> that is part of statewide
[31:11] regulation.
[31:15] During that time of year many
[31:15] things have happened.
[31:18] The we are not aware
[31:18] of.
[31:18] That is a state requirement.
[31:21] ok?
[31:27] >> [Inaudible]
[31:31] >> that is our understanding.
[31:32] That is what we have been
[31:32] informed.
[31:36] >> just to clarify, if they have
[31:38] already done the
[31:39] process for the
[31:40] last two years, you don'
[31:40] t have
[31:41] to go through every step again
[31:43] area and
[31:43] I have had a number of
[31:46] employees who did it last year,
[31:46] it'
[31:47] s not an every year
[31:47] occurrence.
[31:51] If they meet it more definitely
[31:53] under the regulations we
[31:54] have,
[31:54] I'
[31:55] m not sure what the length of
[31:56] time is.
[31:57] >> there is a length of time.
[32:01] >> I remembered doing last year.
[32:03] This year they are
[32:03] good.
[32:04] They were fine.
[32:08] >> that
[32:08] would be a two-year
[32:09] system in that case.
[32:13] Like going to
[32:13] eu or sexual
[32:14] harassment training.
[32:17] Once you beat that, you have to
[32:19] do it at that
[32:20] time.
[32:20] it'
[32:21] s the same thing with
[32:21] testing.
[32:22] Things happen.
[32:22] It'
[32:25] s for how
[32:25] long, two years?
[32:28] Three
[32:28] years? Four years?
[32:30] That'
[32:30] s why.
[32:36] Yes?
[32:37] Elaine?
[32:44] >> regarding the lower involved
[32:47] -- enrollment
[32:47] , at the state
[32:52] level what about what might
[32:52] be
[32:53] happening or why they are
[32:53] starting to see it?
[32:58] >> each district is unique and
[32:59] has its own.
[33:09] >> we seem to be hearing and
[33:09] seeing more evidence of it.
[33:13] >> in the northern part of the
[33:14] state, but not in the southern
[33:14] part of the state.
[33:15] Right.
[33:26] >> the state chancellor'
[33:29] office
[33:30] is asking them to take a look at
[33:30] it.
[33:32] But we don'
[33:33] t have the answer
[33:33] yet.
[33:44] Other questions?
[33:48] This is your
[33:50] opportunity to ask
[33:51] anything.
[33:56] Dean russell is right there to
[33:56] provide you with the answers.
[34:07] >> so, where do we
[34:08] find the
[34:09] consistent evaluation process?
[34:14] >> could you please repeat the
[34:14] question?
[34:18] >> where do we find
[34:18] the
[34:19] evaluation process established
[34:20] by hr?
[34:27] >> which are we talking about?
[34:29] >> he said that in dealing with
[34:31] the hourly, they had to deal
[34:32] with a specific
[34:33] process.
[34:36] >> each group, each division of
[34:37] the
[34:38] college sets up its own
[34:43] system
[34:45] of evaluating its college
[34:47] assistance process and student
[34:47] worker process.
[34:52] That same group will also
[34:53] determine who to
[34:54] hire and who do
[34:54] not hire.
[34:58] When to be hiring people.
[35:00] And when they will bring people
[35:00] back.
[35:14] >> [I
[35:15] >> what division are you in?
[35:16] >> student affairs.
[35:20] >> in that case check with
[35:22] student affairs
[35:24] , they will let
[35:24] you know.
[35:25] They will let you know what
[35:26] process they use.
[35:44] >> [Inaudible]
[35:47] Certain amount of money.
[35:47] We can'
[35:49] t just
[35:49] say -- we want
[35:51] everyone to come back.
[35:51] We would be in the same
[35:52] position.
[35:57] >> not everyone is coming back.
[35:57] The number of hours would be
[35:58] greatly
[35:58] reduced.
[36:02] Should we be having college
[36:04] assistance when the lab is not
[36:04] open?
[36:11] Two months with college
[36:12] assistance in the lab.
[36:21] Do we really need to have two or
[36:22] three people in the lab?
[36:29] >> each area.
[36:32] >> it wasn'
[36:34] t until the
[36:34] last year
[36:35] or couple years that we changed.
[36:38] You talk about categorical
[36:38] funds.
[36:46] If we could find funding and
[36:49] other budget, that would
[36:50] save
[36:50] the whole college assistance
[36:51] funding part of it.
[36:56] >> I do not know how it was
[36:58] paid.
[37:05] Replaced by a college assistant.
[37:13] >> specific to athletics we have
[37:15] two lines in the budget.
[37:18] I forget what it'
[37:18] s called.
[37:19] The dollar line.
[37:23] I forget which it is paid with.
[37:27] For whatever reason we have
[37:31] budgeted those college
[37:32] assistance dollars.
[37:35] What matters is that the money
[37:36] is there.
[37:46] It'
[37:47] s just where it lies in the
[37:48] budget.
[37:52] It still paid in the stipend but
[37:53] the dollar amount is in the
[37:54] college assistance
[37:54] line and next
[37:55] year in the assistant line.
[37:59] It is not necessarily where it
[38:00] is in the budget.
[38:05] >> this doesn'
[38:06] t mean that it'
[38:06] college assistance money.
[38:17] >> not a lot of the coaches as
[38:18] classified with stipends did
[38:18] away with classified stipends.
[38:20] Several years ago.
[38:23] That'
[38:24] s when it went to college
[38:24] assistance.
[38:29] >> they will be working with the
[38:30] new dean and staff there.
[38:40] There'
[38:41] s a difference between the
[38:41] coach and a college assistant.
[38:50] Bearing in mind the line item
[38:50] that you have.
[38:56] The appropriate purpose.
[39:01] That'
[39:02] s of the moneys used for.
[39:12] More questions?
[39:19] Many things are happening at the
[39:19] college.
[39:24] CQy
[39:25] student services.
[39:29] Hr, fiscal, I.T.
[39:33] Coach, anything you want to
[39:40] share with us?
[39:40] >> I don'
[39:41] t know
[39:41] if you mentioned this.
[39:46] The total number that we hired
[39:46] for this year?
[39:49] >> total number of faculty,
[39:49] staff?
[39:53] >> and administrators.
[39:55] >> full-time faculty for this
[39:56] year will be 53 full-time
[39:56] faculty.
[40:03] I believe eight temporary
[40:03] one-year assignments.
[40:09] It seems we have five new
[40:10] permanent teens.
[40:20] Two directors and student
[40:20] services.
[40:27] One associate dean and student
[40:27] services.
[40:31] We eliminated one position.
[40:42] They created a new position
[40:43] that
[40:46] went to Dr. Livio.
[40:54] We have two new vice presidents.
[40:57] One for hr, one for
[40:58] instruction.
[41:01] And of course these replacement
[41:06] positions for the vice President
[41:07] Of business and administrative
[41:08] services.
[41:11] When it comes to administrative
[41:14] positions, we have not increased
[41:16] the number of physicians at all,
[41:18] because we have
[41:19] eliminated
[41:19] several positions and created
[41:22] new ones and restructured the
[41:22] organization in
[41:25] such a manner
[41:27] that we can do
[41:28] with the same
[41:31] number of physicians -- in fact
[41:31] I think it'
[41:31] s gone down by one
[41:34] position when it comes to
[41:35] higher-level administration.
[41:38] We
[41:38] have produced that my one
[41:39] position.
[41:40] That'
[41:42] s about all I can -- and
[41:44] then we also
[41:46] have classified
[41:48] staff.
[41:48] I don'
[41:50] t know the exact number,
[41:50] but we will know that pretty
[41:51] soon.
[42:00] A meet and greet in the wake of
[42:00] July 11.
[42:04] Yes?
[42:11] >> I have a question about the
[42:13] website being
[42:13] built.
[42:16] Will it also have a section for
[42:17] each division to advertise
[42:20] certificates, degrees, or
[42:20] special activities?
[42:23] >> I'
[42:23] m happy you asked that
[42:26] question because the person who
[42:27] can give you that answer and
[42:28] will be flipping the switch
[42:32] tonight at 5:30, the website
[42:33] that you are using right now is
[42:34] going to
[42:35] be obsolete at 5:30
[42:36] tonight.
[42:38] There will be a
[42:40] brand-new site
[42:42] that will be even prouder here
[42:43] at
[42:43] pasadena city college.
[42:49] >>
[42:49] yes, it will be department
[42:51] and division homepages that will
[42:53] show off the
[42:54] certificates in
[42:55] each program and give a chance
[42:56] to find out what they are all
[42:56] about.
[43:01] I have seen them in the testbed.
[43:01] They look really good.
[43:05] We have had a lot of buy-in from
[43:08] across campus
[43:08] It'
[43:08] s going to look really
[43:09] awesome tonight.
[43:11] >> who would be qualified to put
[43:14] things on to the website?
[43:17] Most of us are not trained for
[43:18] that kind of thing.
[43:21] >> we will be doing training
[43:22] after lunch and starting next
[43:25] week we will get some training
[43:25] going.
[43:26] People have already been working
[43:27] with the team to provide
[43:27] content.
[43:30] Those of you who have been doing
[43:33] that, you know who
[43:33] you are.
[43:34] We have a contact in each
[43:35] division helping us to structure
[43:36] the contacts.
[43:40] There is a good chance there
[43:42] someone in the business division
[43:43] who will be working to organize
[43:44] your
[43:46] content and others who will
[43:46] be there.
[43:47] Either admin'
[43:47] s, clerks, or
[43:50] others.
[43:50] >> do you know who?
[43:54] >> not off the top of my
[43:54] head,
[43:55] but we know they exist.
[43:56] [Laughter]
[43:59] It might be through cte.
[44:01] Lanelle might be helping with
[44:02] that.
[44:05] I don'
[44:05] t have it at my
[44:06] fingertips, though.
[44:07] and we will be happy to train
[44:09] anyone
[44:10] who wants to know how to
[44:11] use the site.
[44:13] There'
[44:13] s a system that'
[44:14] s much
[44:14] easier than what we had.
[44:16] We will have information about
[44:17] that.
[44:19] >> are we going on facebook?
[44:22] >> we are on facebook.
[44:24] We have a
[44:24] facebook presence.
[44:25] >> nice to hear.
[44:27] [Laughter]
[44:33] >> [Inaudible]
[44:37] >> yes.
[44:39] I believe the question was about
[44:40] shared governance changes?
[44:43] If I understand correctly
[44:44] that'
[44:44] s coming up today.
[44:48] And after will help to structure
[44:49] committee assignments and
[44:50] meetings.
[44:50] My understanding is that yes,
[44:51] that'
[44:51] s coming live with the new
[44:52] system.
[44:52] Yes.
[44:58] >> thank you very much.
[44:58] There will be a lot of apps
[45:01] created with so many interesting
[45:04] programs in computer science and
[45:06] computer engineering.
[45:08] There will be many apps created,
[45:08] right?
[45:10] Every day, new apps.
[45:13] All right.
[45:14] Anything else?
[45:19] A reminder?
[45:21] Nothing from student services?
[45:23] All quiet?
[45:24] All right.

[45:29] No?
[45:30] Yes?

[45:41] >> spring awakening.
[45:44] Last three weekends.
[45:45] >> why do we have that in
[45:46] summer?
[45:46] [Laughter]
[45:50] We couldn'
[45:51] t have summer
[45:51] awakening or something?
[45:59] >> now we have to change all the
[45:59] lyrics.
[46:00] >> all right.
[46:05] >> let'
[46:05] s change all the lyrics
