TOPIC DISCUSSION FOLLOW-UP Constituent Group Updates Chancellor Christine Johnson has put together several administrative committees to discuss budget recommendations that are coming in from employees throughout the District. An updated list of these recommendations can be found by accessing the following link: http://ccsnet.ccs.spokane.edu/getdoc/40f5ead1-3afc-4832- 9113-e5513f2dbdf4/SurveyReport_120310post.aspx Discussion of employee recommendations have been assigned to five specific Budget Survey Action Teams: � Reconsider Budgeting Models & Fiscal Management Tools – Christine Johnson, Thought Leader � Redesign, Re-engineer, Restructure – Joe Dunlap, Thought Leader � Balance, Quality & Access – Pam Praeger, Thought Leader � Develop New Revenue Sources – Scott Morgan, Thought Leader � Reduce Service (do less with less) – Greg Stevens, Thought Leader Karen distributed copies of a recent comparative analysis by the SBCTC, detailing expenditures by program for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. The chart represents some interesting comparisons of expenditures across the state. The comparative chart showed CCS’s primary support (040) percentages as quite a bit higher than most other community colleges throughout the state, and its institutional support (080) as quite a bit lower. This is because Dean’s salaries are listed in 040, whereas many other state colleges list these salaries in the 011. A question was raised regarding why our Deans are not classified as administrators. Karen responded that Deans are contracted as administrative employees, but are accounted for as primary instructional support along with information technology services staff. Council of Chairs: The Council of Chairs has not met since the last CA meeting. Their next scheduled meeting is on Monday, February 7. Eric will have an update to present at the February 17, 2011 College Alliance meeting. Deans Council: Deans have recently been discussing the lab and course fee issue, as explained by Karen earlier. The Student Technology Fee process is currently underway. Requests are due by February 11, and are being submitted electronically. Classified Staff Council: The first annual SCC Classified Staff Council Chili Cook-off will be held on Friday, January 28. If you want to enter your chili in the competition, it will cost you $5.00. If you just want to eat the chili and be one of the judges, your donation will be $2.00. Proceeds will go toward staff memorials on campus. 6
