ensued on Consent Agenda Item VIII. AA. Approval of Reduction of
M&O Expenditures. Mr. Goldstaub
stated he does not think a reduction in the M&O Budget should be approved
until after the Budget for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 has been adopted. Dr. Erwin responded, stating that this
issue was previously discussed at a Work/Study Board Meeting in December 2001
and the Administration felt it would be valuable to the public to know
exactly what cuts will be necessary for year two of the M&O Budget
expenditures. President Newby stated,
in her opinion, this information needed to be in front of the public for as
much time as possible and was supporting this action at this time. Mrs. Avianantos
moved to approve the Reduction of M&O Expenditures. Mr. Carey seconded the motion for purposes
of discussion. Further
discussion was had on the timeline in approving the proposed reductions. President Newby
called for the vote. The motion
failed with a vote of 2 Ayes (Mrs. Avianantos and Mrs. Newby) and 3 Nays (Mr.
Goldstaub; Mrs. Zapien-Ferrero; and Mr. Carey). Mrs.
Zapien-Ferrero requested this item be brought back to the Board at the June
4, 2002 Regular Board Meeting as an Information/Action Item. Mr. Goldstaub requested the Board be given
detailed information on what had been provided in December, as well as a
detailed report on the upcoming fiscal year budget. Work/Study
– Facilities Master Plan Presentation
Dr. Bill
Johnson, Chief of Facilities and Operations, gave a brief overview of the
process in developing a Facilities Master Plan. Dr. Johnson thanked the Community Action Committee (CAC) for
all their hard work, and introduced the co-chairman of the CAC, Mark
Villalpando. Mr. Villalpando read a
statement on behalf of the CAC.
Although the CAC has not seen DeJong & Associates’ Master Facility
Plan, they commended the Governing Board and the Administration for their
decision to develop a long-range strategic plan for the District. Dr. Johnson then introduced the team from
DeJong & Associates who were present at tonight’s meeting; Joyce Craig,
Ron McKnight, Debbie McDaniel, and Sheila Heron. Mr. McKnight and Ms. Craig presented DeJong’s Facilities Master
Plan, reviewing the findings with the Board.
Considering the
amount of information presented, Mr. Carey stated it would take quite a bit
of discussion to analyze the report.
Discussion did ensue on what the next step would be for the District
and what should be done in regard to the bulging enrolment in some of the
District’s schools. The Board
discussed the completion of construction under the 1997 Bond; such
construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. President Newby
asked for clarification on charts included in Volume I of the
presentation. After further
discussion, Ms. Craig stated she would make those corrections and replace
those pages. The Board
thanked DeJong & Associates, the Community Action Committee, and Dr.
Johnson for the major task they had accomplished. Dr. Erwin also thanked them for giving this District a
blueprint to move forward. At 9:10 PM,
