The Board originally approved a grant in 1999 through the United States Bureau of Reclamation for a student learning opportunity project to restore the watershed in the Paige Boulder Creek area. The project was initially scheduled to be completed by September 2000, but the funding was de-layed, and all parties are in agreement that, while steady progress has been made, the completion date is unrealistic and an extension is in order. The proposed extension to September 2001 will provide additional student op-portunities for course-related work, and there should be no additional cost to the District. We actually receive a nine percent administrative fee be-yond provisions for reimbursement of equipment costs. It is recommended that the Board authorize the extension of Grant 0-FG-20-0227 to September 30, 2001 for the watershed restoration work in the Paige Boulder Creek Subwatershed.


10.2 Consideration of Contract to Participate in the Chancellor's Office Tax Offset Program (COTOP)

State law authorizes the Chancellor's Office to act on behalf of local community college districts for the purpose of collecting outstanding student financial obligations owed to the districts. This provides a means of collecting students’ debts such as delinquent loans, financial aid overpayments, bad checks, etc. The Chancellor's Office works with the Franchise Tax Board to deduct the amount owed from the student’s personal state income tax, lottery winnings, or other state compensation. The program is funded by a 25% fee on the funds collected. Over the years, this has been an effective collection program for our District. It is recommended that Administration be authorized to contract with the Chancellor's Office for the 2000-2001 Chancellor's Office Tax Offset Program.

10.3 Consideration of Bids to Dispose of Surplus School District Equipment

The Board authorized the sale of 35 surplus equipment items by sealed bid at the June 14, 2000 meeting. Bids have been accepted daily in the office of the Vice President of Administrative Services since July 7, 2000 and will continue to be accepted until all equipment is sold. It is recommended that the Board authorize Administration to determine the highest responsible bid and conclude the sale of individual items in this offering until all items are sold.

10.4 Consideration of Sale of Surplus Property at Public Auction

The Governing Board approved the use of Epperson Brothers Auction to dispose of school surplus property in May 1996. At the July Board meeting, the Board authorized the disposal of specified items in this manner. Since then, 50 library study carrels have been identified as no longer useful to the District. It is recommended that the Board authorize the addition of 50 library study car-rels to the list of surplus property to be auctioned for sale through Epperson Brothers Auction.


10.5 Report of Income and Expenditures for All District Funds on the Cash Basis

Attached to the Agenda as Exhibit B, please find a Report of Income and Expenditures for All District Funds on the Cash Basis for July 1 through July 31, 2000, and an account value of investments of the Ivy B. Horr and Board of Trustees Scholarship Fund. It is recommended that the Report of Income and Expenditures for All District Funds on the Cash Basis and the Investment Report be approved as submitted.

END OF THE CONSENT AGENDA


DISCUSSION AGENDA 11. POLICY REPORTS 11.1 Consideration of Organization Proposal for Performance Dance Classes

It is recommended that the performance dance classes currently listed under Physical Education within the Center for Public Safety, Sports and Fitness, be moved to the Center for Fine Arts and Communication.

11.2 Request for Approval of the 2000-2001 Shasta College Catalog

Attached to the Agenda as Exhibit C, is the 2000-2001 Catalog. As part of the Chancellor’s Office guidelines concerning curriculum approval and the delegation of local board decision-making in these procedures, it is recommended that the 2000-2001 College Catalog be approved as presented.

12. FINANCIAL REPORTS 12.1 Consideration of Lease of Classroom Space in Hayfork

We have arranged with Trinity County to establish a distance learning cen-ter in Hayfork. Trinity County will provide 840 sq. ft. of space in the Murrary Building for the nominal fee of $1 per year. At their cost, they will remodel the building to our specifications, including handicap access and restrooms, and will maintain the building and grounds. Shasta College will provide an equipped distance learning classroom with T-1 phone ac-cess and maintenance, which the other offices in the building can utilize at no cost. Shasta College will also collaborate to develop other educational and training opportunities through Hayfork’s Watershed Research and Training Center, the Trinity County Health and Human Services Depart-ment and CSU Chico. The Trinity County Library is located adjacent to this facility, and Trinity County will make available a library worker who, with Shasta College guidance, will oversee and monitor the distance learn-ing center activities. The cost of this worker will be shared by the County and the College.


12.1 Consideration of Lease of Classroom Space in Hayfork (Continued)

It is recommended that the Board authorize the Administration to contract with Trinity County for the lease of space in the Murrary Building in Hay-fork to develop a distance learning center at an annual fee of $1.

12.2 Consideration of Approving the Transportation Department Five-Year

Plan and Authorization to Implement the Staffing Changes and Vehicle Replacement Schedule Outlined for Fiscal Year 2000-2001

As a result of the Accreditation report and expenditure concerns, a thor-ough review of the Transportation Department has been completed, re-sulting in a proposed Five-Year Plan, attached to the Agenda as Exhibit D. The primary focus of this review was the staffing, the aging fleet and related replacement costs, and the daily transportation of students to and from various communities to the college.

The review looked at the use of the buses both for field trips/athletics and for the daily transportation and calculated the repair and supply costs based on the miles driven and related data. The accounting analy-sis utilized for the review process was conducted with the assistance of the district’s independent auditors and according to established cost ac-counting principles.

The review process analyzed the number of vehicles and equipment maintained; the age of each item; the number of person hours necessary to maintain the equipment; the amount of time spent on reporting, dis-patching, and scheduling; and the annual amount of overtime, short-term and extra hours required to maintain the equipment. The research iden-tified several staffing changes and additions that would increase the ef-fectiveness of the Transportation Department. The most notable is add-ing an additional mechanic and changing the foreperson to a supervisor.

The review analyzed the age and condition of each vehicle for future re-liability and proposed replacement timelines. Also taken into considera-tion was the actual use of each vehicle. This analysis resulted in the de-termination that vehicles used only on the campus did not need to be

Replacement Schedule Outlined for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 (Continued)

gasoline powered and are being proposed to be replaced by electric ve-hicles. This will provide several positive results: a reduction in gasoline costs (the electric charging costs should be lower than the gasoline costs), reduced air emissions, and an increased ability to receive grant funding for the actual replacements. The proposed replacements reflect useful life of each piece of equipment for the next five years and will improve the efficiency of the fleet.

Leasing options and contracting out transportation services was re-viewed with the two firms in the district providing these options. The cost accounting review determined that these options would be much more costly to the district than the recommended plan for incremental replacement. With the Tehama County public transit agreement, as well as other pros-pects for counties to collaborate and reduce demand for college buses, the current fixed route fleet has enough safe and useful operating capac-ity to service the needs for the next five years. The fixed route service needs to be reviewed again near the end of the five-year period to de-termine whether or not to finance replacement of those buses. At that time, the educational delivery systems and other public transportation al-ternatives will have further developed. This may significantly reduce need for the service.

Regarding the bus drivers, they are on limited schedules-approximately half-time and 9.5 months a year at this time. As the college moves to year-round class scheduling, this will change to 11 months. These driv-ers would be needed whether or not the college operated a fixed route service, due to the high demand for drivers for the 17 athletic teams and numerous academic field trips. It is not feasible in the Redding em-ployment market to find skilled and reliable bus drivers on an hourly or on-call basis. The college must hire drivers at least half-time on a regu-lar basis in order to staff the Department for athletics and field trips. As a result, the cost of the contract drivers was applied to the field




trip/athletic cost analysis and the driving time for fixed route service was calculated at their regular rate, over and above the 20 hours per week.

There will be a slight increase for property damage insurance coverage based on the fleet replacement plan as advised by our current insurance carrier. The vehicles are insured by the property coverage of the dis-trict, which is based on .0372 per $100 of capital. The liability insur-ance is not based on the type or use of the vehicles, it is based on the district FTES and will not be affected by the purchase or use of the ve-hicles. Fixed route transportation was reviewed for viability, efficiency related to bus services offered by other providers, the number of pickup loca-tions, the types of vehicles used, as well as other educational delivery systems currently utilized by the district. Another factor analyzed was the estimated impacts this service has on enrollment and therefore the fiscal condition of the district.

The plan incorporates a fixed route concept and eliminates the changing of bus routes based on individual student locations. Education Code al-lows colleges to charge a per-semester fee of $60 to offset some of the expenses for this service. The estimated annual income is approxi-mately $12,000 a year, and would be utilized to offset fixed route ex-penses. A contract has been negotiated with the Tehama Rural Area Express to reduce the cost to the college for students in the Corning and Los Molinos areas. This will allow the college to establish fewer but more strategically located stops in the Red Bluff area. The Weaverville and Burney runs are less serviced by other providers, but staff is con-tinuing to work toward possible agreements and coordination of ser-vices.




Financial analysis of the option to eliminate altogether the fixed route service included the following considerations. For the current fixed routes, the ridership is high at the beginning of each semester then drops off, especially after the last date for dropping classes. A total of 74 stu-dents used the service after the date for dropping classes spring semes-ter, 2000. Multiplying the 74 students by the 2000-01 FTES rate per student of $3,207 yields $237,318 in annual income from these enroll-ments. Since these students use the bus service throughout the year, it can be assumed that a significant percentage may not have other options for access to the college and closure of the service altogether could have a significant negative fiscal impact. It is recommended that the Transportation Department Five-Year Plan be accepted and the Administration be authorized to implement the proposed staff changes, vehicle replacements and provider contract (TRAX).

12.3 Consideration of Authorization to Purchase a Bus

At the January 12, 2000 meeting, the Board authorized the Administra-tion to purchase a 22-passenger bus through the state bid contract using National Transportation Grant funds. This bus was to be used to trans-port a small number of students on field trips. Since then we have re-evaluated our needs and conclude that a 35-passenger bus for transport-ing students on field trips would be a better use of the funds. The esti-mated cost is $133,000. In addition to the $65,000 grant funds, we would utilize $68,000 from the General Fund, which had been included in the 1999-2000 transportation budget for bus replacement. The pur-chase of this bus is consistent with the Five-Year Plan proposal. It is recommended that the Administration be authorized to purchase a 35-passenger bus, instead of a 22-passenger bus, through the state bid contract at a cost of approximately $133,000, using National Transportation Grant funds and General Fund monies.


12.4 Acknowledgement of Receipt of AB 2910 Financial Status Report

AB 2910 was approved by the Governor on September 30, 1986 and re-quires the Superintendent of each community college district to provide a quarterly Financial Status Report to the Governing Board for their re-view. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the Chancellor’s Office. The information contained in this report is intended to provide an over-all view of the district’s financial condition. The District’s Financial Status Report for the period April 1 through June 30, 2000 is attached to the Agenda as Exhibit E. It is recommended that the Board acknowledge receipt of the Financial Status Report in compliance with Education Code 84043.

12.5 Consideration of Contract Award for Walk-In Freezer Project

At the June 14 Board meeting, the Board authorized soliciting bids for the purchase and installation of a walk-in freezer for the Campus Center kitchen. No acceptable bids were received at the first bid opening on June 2, so on July 12 the Board authorized re-advertising for bids. One bid was received from Tony’s Refrigeration at the July 20 bid opening. This bid meets the conditions and specifications of the project and is within the project budget. It is recommended that a contract for the Walk-In Freezer Project be awarded to Tony’s Refrigeration in the amount of $18,800 for their re-sponsible bid per specifications.

12.6 Consideration of Contract with California Integrated Waste Manage- ment Board

The California Integrated Waste Management Board is responsible for overseeing the CIWMB Act. Pursuant to the IWMA, the CIWMB as-sists cities and counties in meeting mandated waste diversion goals. As part of this strategy, the CIWMB is required to develop and implement an education program, in cooperation with the California Department of Education, to teach the concepts of integrated waste management in California schools and to assist school districts in developing waste re-duction and recycling programs.


12.6 Consideration of Contract with California Integrated Waste Manage- ment Board (Continued)

Shasta College has been provided a contract from the CIWMB in the amount of $64,000 to assist CIWMB with their educational and work-force training needs within the Oil Recycling Division. The project di-rector will be Michael Hall and lead faculty will be Christine Flowers.

It is recommended the Board approve the contract for $64,000 with the California Integrated Waste Management Board, as presented.

12.7 Consideration of Extending the Lease of District Property by the State of California for the Criminalistics Lab

The District has contracted with the State of California since 1972 to al-low the state to house its criminalistics laboratory on District property. This particular area of land is not currently needed for District opera-tions. Lease payments began at $350 per year in 1972 and have been increased over the years to the current annual rate of $1,175. The present contract expires in 2002, but the state is proposing a 12-year contract renewal, beginning this year, at an annual rate of $1,425, based on an assumed 3% annual Consumer Price Index increase. We feel this is a fair pro-posal. It is recommended that the Administration be authorized to extend the lease with the State of California for use of District land for the crimi-nalistics laboratory for a 12-year period beginning September 1, 2002 through August 31, 2012, at an annual rental rate of $1,425.

12.8 Consideration of Rejecting the Claim Presented by Don Stebbins

Don Stebbins has filed a claim against the District for damages from the Shasta-Tehama-Trinity Joint Community College District. This claim was referred to our insurance carrier and legal counsel for review and recom-mendation.


12.8 Consideration of Rejecting the Claim Presented by Don Stebbins (Continued)

Upon the advice of legal counsel and our insurance carrier, it is recom-mended that the Board reject the claim presented by Don Stebbins and that Administration be authorized to issue a letter, attached to the Agenda as Exhibit F, of notification and warning regarding claimant rights pursuant to Government Code.

12.9 Consideration of Acceptance of Donations

Don Hislop, 246 Beverley Avenue, Red Bluff, CA 96080, has donated a $100 gift certificate for advertising Shasta College’s fall semester in the Sun Country Market Place Publication. The Private Industry Council, 1220 Sacramento Street, Redding, Cali-fornia 96001, through Anne Albrecht, Property Manager, has donated computers, monitors, and keyboards, valued at $1,200, to the GIS Lab and in support of instructional programs in the Center for Science, In-dustry, and Natural Resources.

It is recommended these donations be accepted as offered with the appro-priate letters of appreciation.
