BUSINESS

IX. OLD BUSINESS
Proposed Changes to the Senate By-laws
The proposed motion brought forward by
Danielle Fouquette and Miguel Powers to amend the Senate By-laws relative to
nominations for the Senate Exec. failed to pass.
X. NEW
BUSINESS
Fred Williams and Adam O’Connor presented the four budget models being
discussed at DPC. These budget models are:
Budget Model 1, “Growth beyond Extended Day”
This budget model provides additional ongoing funding to the campuses if
they grow past their base. The money would be in addition to the regular
overload budgets and would be used to support the additional students. It is
proposed that the growth target be set to the projected amount for next year.
The Senate discussed whether the targets should be set to next year or last
year.
M/S/P (Powers/Wilson) Fullerton College Senate supports this idea, but
we object to the modification and we request that we use last year’s actual
number as the 04-05 base.
Budget Model #2, “Facilities Funding”
This budget model would allocate additional ongoing funding per square
feet for new buildings on campus. The initial projection would be to fund $6.74
per square foot. This would pay for the support necessary to maintain the new
buildings. It was pointed out that a variety of costs are associated with new
buildings including supplies and maintenance.
The issue was raised as to whether this additional money would be
restricted to direct facilities support only. It was the sense of the Senate
that this money should be spent on building maintenance and supplies.
The revised DPC budget model removed some of the new building projects,
such as the parking structure, from this square foot funding, It was felt that
the parking structure was an income-generating building and, therefore, did not
require additional funding.
It was recommended that the original proposal be supported by the
Senate.
M/S/U (Powers/Kiefer) FC supports the previous budget proposal that was
provided by the budget officers at $6.75, and we restrict the spending of this
money on M&O expenses only.
Budget Model #3 “Removing the Simpson Model”
This budget model proposes to automatically give COLA to the campuses
prior to settling salary negotiations.
M/S/P (Wilson/Sanabria)
Budget Model 4 “Rollup of PFE Costs”
This budget model would fold the ongoing PFE costs into the District
budget and would charge the campus centers for additional roll-up costs. This
charge would be spread out over a number of years.
M/S/P (Wilson/Craig) Fullerton College Senate approves Model 4 with the
note that it is of extremely disproportionate benefit to SCE with the provision
that our Senate representatives have discretion to vote on this.
XI. LIAISON REPORTS
Associated Students

It was announced that United Faculty has
settled salary at 4.75% and that the back pay will be in the June paycheck.
