GA 3-6

Motion: Pizano Second: Molina Vote: 4-1 [SS: No, GR: Yes, MM: Yes, RP: Yes, HR: Yes] Board member Ramos asked Superintendent for clarification and he explained the item is a normal process that a school should do when starting construction. Board member Suarez asked if the city sets guidelines, shouldn’t we follow them? Phil Henderson, legal counsel, explained further that all school’s can exempt themselves from local zoning and state zoning has more strict oversight so this ensures we have a project inspector on every project from Division of State Architects.


C) Appoint Members to the District’s Measure CV Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) At its January 25, 2011 meeting, the District passed a resolution that established the statutorily-required Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) for the District’s 2010 Measure CV, and assigned COC with the additional responsibility of overseeing the expenditures of the District’s 2008 Measure CV. On District staff’s recommendation, the Board appointed the following seven (7) members to the COC, and directed District staff to schedule the first COC meeting and to have the COC begin its duties.

Board member Suarez requested that in the future, the application process be extended so there is a longer period of time to submit applications.

D) CVUHSD Membership in the School Employers Association of California

(SEAC) Authorized the superintendent, on behalf of the district, to sign agreement with SEAC in order to enable the district to become a member of the Joint Powers Authority

GA 8

Motion: Ramos Second: Pizano Vote: 5-0 [SS: Yes, GR: Yes, MM: Yes, RP: Yes, HR: Yes]

GA 9

Motion: Pizano Second: Ramos Vote: 5-0 [SS: Yes, GR: Yes, MM: Yes, RP: Yes, HR: Yes]

Board member Suarez expressed concerns she has about this item. Superintendent Fernandez explained that no action has been or will be taken without approval of the Board and he feels it is a great opportunity and deserves to be explored for our students. Board member Ramos expressed her concerns. Board vice-president Pizano asked if this is the biggest company that has approached us. Superintendent Fernandez replied that it is and would be an excellent opportunity for our students in the Arts to be able to work with a successful company with over 20 years experience. Executive Director of the Civic Light Opera, James Blackman spoke to the Board about the opportunity for the students and the benefits for both CLO and CVUHSD.


Board member Suarez agreed that it could be a great opportunity and isn’t arguing that but wants everything to be considered to determine if this is the right decision for the district. She stated she is uncomfortable with the wording of the item. Superintendent Fernandez called on Janet Mueller, legal counsel, to address the concern, who explained that if an agreement could be reached, no matter what, the agreement would not be binding by law unless ratified by the Board. Board member Suarez asked that “execute” be removed from the item. Board member Ramos stated that it would be great for the Board to be able to process the item away from the meeting and come up with their questions and concerns, and be briefed as a board to take everyone’s opinions into consideration.
