Dean Ross Tomlin and his staff have reached out to the family in support of their needs and the President s Office has rendered assistance as well.

3 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JUNE 12, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT (Continued) ing has knowledge of four developers each for the two projects who are submitting proposals and have worked with their office in preparation. Nursing shortages continue to be important agenda items at local, state and national levels. We will be pursuing grants as they become available, including a recently announced federal program. Redding Medical Center Foundation and Tenant Health Care Foundation have contributed a total of $145,000 to the Shasta College nursing program. We are adding faculty and have installed a dedicated ITV nursing classroom in order to expand our enrollments. Letters of concern have been received from students and faculty regarding our Fire Technology program status. Rumors arose out of a news story that the City of Redding was looking for options to have a fire station in the Northeast part of the city near Shasta College. There was some talk of using our fire station as a temporary site until a permanent facility could be built at Churn Creek and Highway 299. However, nothing has come from this and there are no proposals for any changes to having our own fire department and keeping one of the best fire technology programs in the state ongoing at Shasta College. The two most pressing matters for Fire Technology are classroom space for the fall, since they are depending upon the completion of the Warehouse and timely renovation of the current warehouse in the Fire Hall for their classroom and office. Also, we are moving forward with staffing on a faculty vacancy in the program. The state budget is on everyone s mind. As of today, the Conference committee has agreed to a $25.5 million increase over the Governor s May Revise budget. However, the Governor could target this for veto unless an acceptable fees and taxes increase package accompanies the budget to be passed by the Legislature. Even with the increase, the community colleges will have $84.5 million in reductions from last year s budget level. That translates

4 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JUNE 12, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT S REPORT (Continued) into approximately $845,000 for Shasta College s share of the Conference Committee level and $1,100,000 if the Governor s May Revise cuts were to be reinstated through his veto power. Dr. Treadway reviewed a summary budget update handout. This month was a busy one in terms of events, especially those surrounding graduation. Dr. Esteban s comments at Commencement were well received, including his special mention of Chico State classes in the new university center. Board members attended special events such as the EOPS Luncheon, Scholarship Reception, and Pinning Ceremony and Dental Hygiene. Dr. Treadway said he was this year s speaker at the annual All Star Breakfast honoring high achiever youth from each of the public schools in Shasta County, as well as at the Shasta College Scholarship Reception and Leadership Redding Seminar. The District held its full-day Strategic Planning Council planning retreat on May 17 at Turtle Bay and hosted the quarterly meeting of the Higher Education Committee for Shasta County on our campus. Dr. Treadway said he shared with the group the college s building and expansion plans. Finally, Dr. Treadway said he and Ellen Peres met with Standard and Poor and Moodys in San Francisco for interviews having to do with our bond ratings and interest rates. We will hear in about a month what rating the bonds will be given. 7.6 BOARD MEMBERS REPORT Mrs. Cheri Beck stated that there is a report from the CCLC Advisory Committee in the packet she provided to the other Board Members.

Mrs. Patricia Hunn said the Board appreciates it when staff or students invite them to the graduations, even if they are not official college events.
