Bylaws Revision – First Reading: The Executive Committee unanimously recommends that the Assembly approve a first reading of the revisions of the Bylaws presented at today’s meeting. Without objection, a few amendments were accepted from the Assembly floor for the purposes of consistency. Mitra Moassessi moved to approve a first reading of the Bylaws revisions including the amendments from the floor. David Zehr seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The proposed Bylaws revisions including today’s amendments will be distributed to Assembly members via email attachment before the next Assembly meeting. III. President’s Report: May 19 Propositions. Because the diversity of opinion regarding the May 19 proposition is so great, the Executive Committee has chosen to take a neutral position on the propositions (1A – 1F). FACCC has also taken a neutral position on the propositions. See the FACCC website for an analysis and a statement explaining why the organization has taken a neutral position: http://FACCC.org Board Meeting: The Board passed a new Board policy regarding classified managers, and how they are held accountable. There is also a new Board policy regarding harassment claims for classified employees. Howard Stahl --GASB issue: Senior Staff is recommending that the Board spend $2 million on the District’s unfunded retiree benefits liability by moving those monies from the reserve to a revocable trust. The college currently has 1200 unfunded FTES. Statewide, the community colleges have over 50,000 unfunded FTES. If our unfunded FTES were funded, the college would have an additional $5.5 million in revenue, which would eliminate any structural deficit. This year’s deficit was originally estimated at over $9 million when the fiscal year began. Respectfully Submitted, Becky Curtis Recording Secretary
