         November 4, 2020 Governing Board...



         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Good evening, and welcome to the November

    4, 2020 regular Governing Board meeting to order.  I'm going to call

    the meeting to order.

         The first item on our agenda is the roll call.  Mr. Silvyn?

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Thank you, Mr. Chair.  Demion Clinco?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Present.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Meredith Hay?

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Present.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Mark Hanna?

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  For the last time, present.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Maria Garcia?

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Present.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Luis Gonzales?

         >> MR. LUIS GONZALES:  Present.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  All board members are present.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Terrific.  Next we have remarks by the

    Governing Board, and I think the best thing to do is why don't we do

    our remarks, and then we have a recognition of Mr. Hanna and his time

    on the board, which is a little unusual because we are in a Zoom

    context, but I think we all definitely want to share some thoughts.

         Let's go ahead and get started with the remarks.  I will begin.

         First, I want to thank the 70% of Pima County voters who

    resoundingly endorsed and voted for Prop 481 and, by extension, the





    direction that the college is going.  It's huge for our institution,

    huge for our community and a tremendous recognition I think of the

    work this entire institution has been doing for the last six years.

    In particular, I want to thank the Yes for Pima College co-chairs Ted

    Maxwell, Nancy Johnson, Rod Draper, Celine Sanchez.  I also want to

    recognize former mayor, Jon Rothschild, and Katie Turney who did a

    tremendous amount of work to raise funds and support this initiative.

         Also Nicole Barraza (indiscernible) Agency who helped run the

    campaign.  I also want to make a special acknowledgement to Mayor

    Regina Romero and elected officials throughout our region who

    endorsed this effort and understood the importance to the people of

    Tucson and Pima County.

         I also want to thank Marcy Euler, president of the PCC Foundation

    and her amazing board for the work they did.

         Finally, I want to thank the members of the board who worked to

    promote this ballot measure, walking door to door, sending e-mails,

    connecting with the community and by voting to refer it to the

    ballot.

         The passage of this proposition will position this college

    strategically to serve this community as part of the coming recovery

    and continue to serve this community for years and years to come.

         Also, I just wanted to note last night the passage of Prop 207

    which will create a revenue stream for the college which will not be

    insignificant.

         Finally, this election cycle, two candidates stepped forward with





    incredible r�sum�s and connections to the college and commitment to

    the institution, both Cat Ripley and Ethan Orr ran campaigns that

    were issue-based, civil, and reflected the civic values of PCC.  I

    want to thank them both for stepping out to run.  It's not easy, and

    they brought excellent attention to the college and the importance of

    this board and its role in providing oversight to the institution.

         Cat Ripley won the election and is replacing Mark Hanna, who was

    not seeking an additional term.  I personally want to welcome her to

    the board.  I know we all look forward to getting to know you and

    working together, making PCC even better.

         Those are my remarks for this evening.  Next I'm going to pass to

    Ms. Garcia.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Okay.  First I would like to extend my

    sincere thanks to your attendance.  I understand that you attend

    because you care about the direction that Pima Community College

    leadership is taking the college in.

         I would also like to state, as a matter of public record, that I

    will continue to raise concerns and questions on improprieties when

    it concerns any aspect of the college, its students, staff, and

    faculty.  I will not allow this institution to be managed to the

    detriment of the college that was instituted to serve the community.

         I welcome Cat Ripley to the board, and I hope to work with you

    soon.  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Dr. Hay?

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  I also want to add my thanks to the





    community who voted to support Pima College.  It is going to be

    transformational in our growth and our plans and transformational to

    our students and our community.  So thank you, all, who were on the

    line.

         Also welcome Cat to the board, and I look forward to working with

    you.  As is my tradition, I would like to yield the rest of my time

    to Mr. Hanna.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  I'm going to let Mr. Hanna go last this

    evening.  Mr. Gonzalez, if you'd like to comment.

         >> MR. LUIS GONZALES:  I just want to echo what was said as well

    too.  I do want to, first of all, thank the staff, faculty, everybody

    that's been committed in this challenging times in reference to the

    virus that we have but also the community as a whole, Tucson

    community, in reference to passing the 481, but also the two other

    ones that will provide not only additional support and funds to the

    college but also to the K12 system.

         I think those are the individuals, the students from the K12,

    that will be receiving those funds from the 208, I think it's great

    for them to be future students of Pima, but I do want to thank the

    community in reference to supporting education as we all know as

    advocates of education and the community as advocates of education.

    I think it's a win-win.

         I really feel very honored to be here tonight, but more

    important, really happy with the response from the community.  Not

    only with the 481 that's going to be beneficial to Pima Community





    College but also for the K12 system, 208, and the 207 that's going to

    be also providing some assistance to us.  I think it's outstanding,

    and I think it's great.

         I commend everybody that voted out there, and we will have to

    continue this advocacy that we have through Pima College and I think

    it's going to be a good year once -- it will be good (smiling).

    Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much.  Finally, Mr. Hanna.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Thank you, Chairman Clinco.  I know we have a

    lot on the agenda tonight.  I will try to keep this short, unlike

    most of my remarks over the last six years.  But here we go.

         You know what?  This is really a bittersweet moment for me.  I

    love Pima Community College.  20 years ago, you took in a guy who had

    never gotten a college degree and helped me realize my dream of

    becoming an educator.

         Seven years ago, as a high school college counselor, I saw this

    great institution in trouble, and I worried what was going to happen

    to my first-generation students for whom Pima would be

    (indiscernible) out of poverty and on to a better life.

         I ran for the board, and seven years ago today woke to the news

    that I had won.  My experiences over the past six years have been

    some of the best of my life, especially working with my fellow board

    members, the chancellor, administrators, faculty, staff, and

    students.

         The highlights include being part of an unbelievable team who





    worked so hard to lift the Higher Learning Commission sanctions of

    our college, leaving us to be a much stronger service to our

    students.

         The redesign of our dev ed program that has made such a big

    difference for those students who might not have been prepared for

    college.  Introduction of guided pathways to increase our retention

    and graduation rates, as well as save our students money.

         The success of our adult education and IBEST programs.  The

    creation and operation of our immigrant and refugee student resource

    center, something (indiscernible).  The excitement of watching Aztec

    student athletes led by some of the greatest coaches in community

    college sports.

         The creation of our own cyber warfare range, the new IT

    instruction facilities, (indiscernible) and now the construction of

    our centers of excellence and so much more.

         I must acknowledge a few of the folks who were so helpful to me

    along the way, including Board Member Sylvia Lee, who was really my

    rock in those early days.  Former adult education administrator

    Regina Suitt, who sat in the audience back when we had audiences, and

    stared at me when any vote concerning adult ed came up.  People like

    Dolores Duran-Cerda, Ian Roark, Jeff Thies, Bruce Moses, Nic

    Richmond, Dave Bea, Irene Robles Lopez, Jim Monaco, Bill Ward,

    current chair, Demion Clinco, outstanding faculty members such as

    Matej Boguszak, whose name I can finally pronounce now that I'm going

    out the door, Ana Jimenez, Ken Vorndran, and of course Angie Weston,





    Gabby A, and Andrea in the chancellor's office.  I know I left out a

    bunch of people, including my wife Linda, who I dragged to lots of

    events with me, and would listen to me complain about a bunch of

    things.  But sincere thanks to everyone.

         Let me finish by talking about the future.  The highlights I

    mentioned before, I left out the best of the best.  Watching and

    shaking hands with thousands of students of all ages, genders,

    ethnicities, abilities, backgrounds, goals and dreams who walked

    across the stage at the Tucson Convention Center or the GED

    graduation facilities.

         This college was founded over 50 years ago to provide every

    member of our community with the chance to change their and their

    families' lives through higher education.  Our college is in the

    process of creating a new strategic plan and mission statement that

    will take us into the exciting future of the fourth Industrial

    Revolution.

         I beseech my fellow board members and our chancellor who will

    lead this college forward to never lose sight of something I hold

    dear above all else, the most important focus of our institution is

    our students, including those who are prospective students.  We must

    continue to offer affordable, broad-based, educational opportunities

    not only centered on corporate workplace needs but in all areas of

    knowledge.  Most importantly, these opportunities must be available

    to all who seek them in a clearly stated mission that includes the

    words "Pima Community College is an open admissions institution."  I





    will be in the audience staring at you as you decide this issue.

         I'm really proud of my service to Pima Community College, and I'm

    so grateful for the opportunity that I have had.  I think I made a

    difference.  I just want to thank you also for the crystal pieces.

    Let me show you this piece.  The beautiful flower arrangement, you

    can see it over my shoulder.  And the lifetime membership in the

    ACCT.

         And I also want to congratulate Ms. Cat Ripley, who I know will

    fill the responsibilities of this seat with the same dedication and

    values that I have.

         Thanks.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you, Mr. Hanna.  In a normal

    circumstance we would present you with the recognition, both the ACCT

    lifetime membership, which was supported by the Foundation, and sort

    of the small gifts to acknowledge your time on the board.

         I want to say personally, since joining this board, I have been

    overwhelmingly impressed and often shamed by your commitment to this

    institution, your attendance at every possible event, your commitment

    to supporting students in all of their different endeavors, whether

    it was our theatrical productions or athletics, whether it was

    graduation, or whether it was just stopping to support somebody who

    looked like they needed a hand.

         Your commitment to this school and to our community is

    unparalleled.  To give six years to step forward in a time of

    turbulence because you saw that there was a need and to give so





    unconditionally of yourself and of your time is a remarkable gift.

         The small thank yous that we were able to convey do not even

    begin to reflect the debt that this community in totality owes you

    for stepping forward to ensure that this institution is not just here

    now but is here in 30 years and another 50 years and a hundred years

    continuing to serve the students of Pima County.

         You know, I always think when I was small about whenever we'd go

    camping my parents would say leave the campsite better than you found

    it.  I have taken that philosophy with me throughout life.  I can say

    that you have left this institution better than when you found it.

    You have overseen and supported and fretted and monitored and been

    committed to extraordinary transformational change.

         This board and this college says thank you.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Hear!  Hear!

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  You will be missed.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  And I want to just give my fellow board

    members an opportunity to also say a few words.  Six years is a long

    term for any elected position, particularly one like this that

    doesn't compensate you, and requires such a lot of time and

    thoughtfulness.  I just want to give everyone an opportunity to wish

    Mark well.

         Ms. Garcia?

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Well, Mark, have a happy life.  Stay

    healthy.  And thank you so much for serving on the board.  You know,





    I really appreciate all your efforts, so my sincere wishes.  May God

    keep you safe.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Thank you.  Thank you, Ms. Garcia.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Mr. Gonzales?

         >> MR. LUIS GONZALES:  And likewise.  I wish Mr. Hanna the best.

    It's been a pleasure serving with you the last two years, and I know

    that your dedication and commitment was there for all students as we

    intend to be, as well.

         I do want to wish you the very, very best.  May God bless you

    too.  Thank you.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Thank you.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Mark, you know, you were board chair when I

    came on, and you have ever since been my guiding light for commitment

    to service of the college and the community.

         I can't thank you enough for your integrity, thoughtfulness, and

    wisdom on the board.  You always, always put students first and you

    always reminded us that that's the first job always.

         You're a remarkable man and a remarkable citizen and I thank you

    for your service.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Thank you, Dr. Hay.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Mark, make no mistake about it, we are not

    through with you yet.  We will find ways for you to continue to give

    back to Pima (smiling).

         We look forward to seeing you at other events.  You're always

    welcome and we look forward to hearing your input on the decisions





    that are coming forward.  Thank you.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Yeah, remember that mission statement, all

    right?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  We hear you.  Thank you, Mark.

         Moving on to our administrative reports.  The first item, we have

    40 minutes set aside for this item, first is athletics re-entry

    update with Bruce Moses, vice chancellor for educational services and

    institutional integrity.

         >> DR. BRUCE MOSES:  Chair Clinco, fellow board members,

    Chancellor, colleagues and friends, just to give you a simple update,

    we are embarking on the ability to be able to bring some of our

    student athletes back to campus to participate in workouts and

    training.  So we have outlined athletic re-entry plan that we have

    shared with the chancellor.

         This plan has been developed in collaboration with the athletic

    department personnel and environmental health and safety and

    facilities.  They have met multiple times.  They have brought forth a

    plan that covers pretty much everything you can think of.  It covers

    the proper PPE, contact tracing, proper disinfectant and cleaning of

    athletic equipment and facilities.

         We are very fortunate as an institution that we have two people

    in our institution, our head trainer, April Jesse, who serves as the

    president of the Arizona Community College Athletic Training

    Association, so they have done a lot of work to pull together

    protocols for all community colleges in Arizona.  And then also Chris





    Murphy, another one of our athletic trainers, who serves on the NJCAA

    Council For Student Athlete Welfare and Safety.

         They have brought a lot of knowledge and a lot of best practices

    forth and put together in these plans, we have three plans -- well,

    we have actually more than that.  We have plans that for access to

    weight room and workout facilities, equipment.  We have a plan for

    access to gyms, classrooms, administration offices, those types of

    things.  And then also plans for our fields, soccer, baseball,

    softball, et cetera.

         So we have shared all that information.  We wanted to let you

    know that other institutions have already started to do this and

    bring students back.

         I attended a CEO and athletic director meeting on the 29th on

    behalf of the chancellor, and Arizona Western, Eastern Arizona,

    Yavapai already have student athletes who are participating in

    workouts and practices at their facilities.

         All the CEOs and athletic directors have committed to having

    sports in the spring semester at this meeting, and most will be

    bringing student athletes within the next couple of weeks or at the

    beginning of spring semester.

         I wanted to thank a host of people.  I can't thank them all

    individually by name, but facilities mostly, environmental health and

    safety, athletic department, our chancellor, and everyone else who

    took the time, Dr. David Dor�, to look over these things, do

    walk-throughs, we developed a series of videos demonstrating to





    students how they would navigate and come back, re-entry into our

    facilities.

         We will be doing this on a pilot basis where we are not going to

    have all teams or all athletes coming in at the same time.  There

    will never be more than two teams on campus at any time, and is they

    would never be in the same facility at any time.

         So our athletic director as well is serving on the transportation

    committee.  There will be no transportation happening this semester.

    Transportation would not happen until sometime in the spring when we

    would have to basically travel to another facility or another school

    to participate.  So those things will not take place more than likely

    to early February.

         That's really all I have right now.  I share one more thing.  All

    of our protocols meet or exceed CDC regulations.  All of our

    disinfectants and cleaners and everything that we use at the

    institution currently, we don't have to buy anything special, have

    always met or exceeded the CDC recommendations.

         And I'll answer any questions if you guys have any questions for

    me.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any questions for Dr. Moses?

         Okay.  So I would just ask, Dr. Moses, if we do have cases that

    develop, what is the implementation plan in terms of testing and then

    putting a halt on the program?  Is that part of the plan?

         >> DR. BRUCE MOSES:  Yes.  We have guidelines for that.  For

    example, if we had a golfer, let's say, tested positive, we have





    about, I don't know exact number, 15 to 18 golfers, so you're talking

    it about a sport that's very isolated, we will definitely isolate

    that individual, quarantine them for 14 days.

         But let's just say five individuals on the basketball team, you

    know, contracted COVID or someone tested positive, then we have a

    totally different scenario.  Then we'd be looking at basically

    pulling those, all those individual student athletes out, make sure

    they got properly tested, quarantined, and that's a lot of

    individuals on one sports team compared to the total, totality of the

    makeup of the team.

         So we will play it case-by-case basis.  We looked into the

    chancellor providing us a bubble like the NBA, but he said we

    couldn't afford that, but we have all of those protocols in place.

    And we have some outstanding subject matter experts in this area in

    our organization, as I mentioned earlier, and we put a lot of trust

    and faith in those individuals to guide us and be able to do all the

    right things, including our student athletes.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  I think if we can continue the reporting

    model where we sort of get a week, if the board can get a weekly

    update on the protocols, I think that would be helpful.

         >> DR. BRUCE MOSES:  I would say thank you, Mr. Hanna.  I know

    the athletic department thanks you too.  You are a mainstay at a lot

    of sporting events.  I'm sure we'll continue to see you there.

         Thank you, sir, for your service.  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Now I'm going to take a little latitude.





    The public comment and call to the audience actually was agendized a

    few items down.  I'm going to move it up, because I know we do have

    some individuals and I don't want them to spend the entire evening

    with us.

         I will just say the Pima Community College Governing Board

    welcomes public comment on issues within the jurisdiction of the

    college.  Generally the total time for public comment will be limited

    to 45 minutes, and comments will be limited to 3 minutes per

    individual.  These time limits may be modified by the board or board

    chair.

         Individuals sharing comments are expected to communicate with

    decorum and respect.  Individuals who engage in disorderly conduct or

    use divisive or insulting language may have their time reduced or

    concluded by the board chair.

         At the conclusion of public comment, individual board members may

    respond to criticism made by those who addressed the board, may ask

    staff to review a matter, or ask that a matter be put on a future

    agenda.  Members of the board, however, may not discuss or take legal

    action on matters raised during the public comment unless matters are

    properly noticed for discussion and legal action.

         Finally, be advised that internal college processes are available

    to students and employees for communication.

         The first individual is Amber Smith, CEO of the Tucson Chamber.

    Welcome, Ms. Smith.

         >> I don't actually see Ms. Smith as an attendee.





         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  We will look into that.  I think we have

    Bryan Hannley.

         >> I don't see him in the list either.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Chancellor Lambert is reaching out to one

    of them now, looks like.

         Next we have Shannon O.

         >> There is a Sharon.

         >> Yes.  Can you hear me?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Welcome.  We can hear you.

         >> Yes, I was I spoke at the October 7 meeting about rules and

    regulations and not being able to get hold of anyone.

         The meeting started at 5:30.  I spoke not long after that.  By

    5:51 Mr. Lambert had already contacted me.  By 6:14 he had contacted

    Provost Dolores Duran-Cerda and David Dor�.

         By 6:22 I had already been contacted, and by 7:15 by Dr. Dor�.

    So between 5:30 and 7:15 I was inundated by help.  I mean, this is

    just absolutely phenomenal.

         I did speak with Irene Robles-Lopez, responded to various people,

    but the two people who helped me out the most was Steven

    Higginbotham.  He talked to me on the phone for about a half an hour,

    discussed the whole setup of the arts department, which I was floored

    and did not realize that there was a computer division that took care

    of computer games and graphics.  I did not realize that the whole art

    complex down there at the theater, music and dance, all under his art

    department, I had no idea.





         I did have one little problem trying to get my project

    (indiscernible) sewing class out.  I was having a hard time.  He did

    facilitate that, and yes I got my dress done.

         Then I spoke to Amanda Evans.  I was interested in the

    nine-credit classes.  She told me the whole thing has been shut down

    because it was not financially feasible anymore with City Parks and

    Rec and Pima County Parks and Rec and et cetera.  I was disappointed,

    because those are the places I taught Spanish and (indiscernible)

    arts.  And I told her I had taught a Spanish class through them.  She

    said that there might be a component in some of the corporate

    meetings for that Spanish teaching (indiscernible).  That was a good

    connection.

         I also want to compliment the college on the proposition passing.

    That's always good.  I will probably be taking class in January.  I

    try to take one every semester if I can.  Ardent supporter.

         I don't believe in taking from the community without giving back.

    This is why I want to give my thanks.  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Well, thank you for following up.  We are

    always glad to hear that when someone brings an issue up we are able

    to respond quickly.  Thank you very, very much.  Thank you to

    leadership for moving quickly.

         I think it speaks if you have an issue and you haven't been able

    to get it resolved through the normal channels, coming to call to the

    audience is always a tool to help get it solved.

         It sounds like we do have Ms. Smith on the phone.  The last four





    digits of her telephone number are 8811.  Are we able to add her?

         >> Yes, she's with us now.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Welcome, Amber.

         >> Thank you, Chair Clinco.  I'm Amber Smith.  I'm wearing two

    different hats tonight.

         One is I do serve on the Pima Community College Foundation Board,

    but in my capacity speaking tonight, I'm speaking as the president

    and CEO of the Tucson Metro Chamber.  What I want to do is

    congratulate the college on the success last night of the

    proposition.

         The chamber and our members were huge supporters, because we have

    actively been working with the college over the last several years on

    workforce development efforts.  We know from the business community

    that workforce development is one of the largest concerns in building

    that pipeline, and we are so proud that the college will be able to

    reach even higher for the stars in their success of building the

    centers of excellence and fulfilling the vision that the chancellor

    has, which we have significantly seen positive steps towards in terms

    of job creation, economic development.

         So we want the college to know that the chamber is on your side.

    We look forward to working actively with the board as well as the

    chancellor on achieving all of the goals and missions and really

    bringing the business community together with the college even closer

    than we already have.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much.  I know the college





    looks forward to our continued partnership on these initiatives, and

    thank you for your service to the Foundation Board, as well.  We

    really appreciate your commitment and your advocacy for the causes

    and the policies and the bills and funding that we desperately need

    to keep this institution focused on student success and good outcomes

    for the community.  So thank you.

         Next we have Bryan Hannley.

         >> Yes, thank you.  I'm hoping I come in clearly.  I'm at my

    son's baseball game where I'm a coach.  I'm stepping away, because

    this is so important for us to recognize and discuss the Proposition

    481.

         So happy to follow Amber Smith, and she's on my board.  Does an

    incredible job for our community.

         Chair Clinco, board members, Chancellor Lambert, guests, I'm

    Bryan Hannley, and I serve as the chair of Pima Foundation's board of

    directors.

         Yesterday was a historic day for the Pima County and the college.

    Voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 481 to allow the basic

    expenditure limitation to be increased to allow PCC to better serve

    students, employers, and the community.

         Again, I was flat-out amazed by the turnout and the overwhelming

    majority, and it just shows how voters feel about Pima and how

    important it is to our community, to workforce development, to

    economic development.

         I firmly believe this resounding approval of the college would





    not have been possible without the leadership of someone I truly

    admire as Chancellor Lambert.  When he arrived in 2013, he boarded a

    sinking ship.  It was the Titanic and we all know it.  But through

    his leadership during the past seven years he has repaired

    relationships, renovated spaces, and instilled confidence in the

    institution across the community.

         His vision and the team he's assembled to implement change are

    putting Pima Community College on the map, not just locally but

    regionally, nationally, and I believe internationally.

         I'm proud that the Foundation Board supported the initiative

    financially.  I'm equally proud of the voters in Pima County who

    recognize the importance of PCC for Southern Arizona.

         Our entire board of directors stands alongside the college ready,

    willing, able to support fundraising efforts that bring deserving

    students to our classrooms, reward outstanding faculty for innovative

    teaching, build high tech facilities, focus on the future and sustain

    academic and certificate programs that lead to meaningful careers.

         To the Board of Governors, thank you for your leadership.  You

    recognize a clear vision for the future of our county and that begins

    with Pima Community College.

         Again, I can't stop thanking you enough for your leadership and

    your vision.  Congratulations to everyone involved on the passing of

    481.

         I look forward to accomplishing great things for our community

    together, and again, it's my pleasure and my distinct privilege to be





    the chairman of the Pima Community College Foundation Board for the

    next two years.  Thank you very much.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much.  Thank you for your

    service to this institution and to the Foundation.  Without members

    of the community who step forward to take on that important role, it

    would make our job that much more difficult, and we wouldn't be able

    to serve the magnitude of students who have needs in the community

    that we're able to provide additional educational services to.

         Thank you so much for your work and for your advocacy in getting

    us across the finish line.  Have a good time at your sports game.

         >> Absolutely.  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you.  Finally we have Matej

    Boguszak.  I just want to take a moment to remind everybody that if

    you're going to register for a call to the audience, please do it

    before noon.  Information has to go out to everybody, so it makes it

    a little more complicated.  Please remember just to register before

    noon.

         Matej?  Are you there?

         >> MATEJ BOGUSZAK:  Yeah, thanks for the reminder.  My bad.  That

    was me who registered a little late.

         Good evening, Chair Clinco, board members, Chancellor, colleagues

    and guests, everybody.  I'm Matej Boguszak.  I teach math and serve

    as president of PCCEA.

         You will hear no pleas from me tonight.  I wanted to sincerely

    thank Mark Hanna.  This is not an easy job.  It pays nothing, as





    somebody pointed out.  But our community needs dedicated, selfless

    people like you, with a passion for education, to set the direction

    for our ship and provide leadership and oversight.

         Mark, you have always come thoroughly prepared and asked some of

    the best questions that went straight to the heart of the matter.

         You made sure that students were always the No. 1 priority.  You

    always listened to everyone and tried to make sure your decisions and

    votes were well-founded and informed.

         Your moral character always came through when it came to standing

    up to justice and that has not gone unnoticed.

         I loved your last words, advocacy for a comprehensive college,

    open admissions, and of course students, including prospective ones.

    On behalf of PCCEA and Pima faculty, thank you so much for your years

    of service.

         We would also like to congratulate Cat Ripley, who will be taking

    up Mark's baton.  Please know how much the faculty appreciate having

    an incoming board member of your caliber.  Thank you for deciding to

    serve again to make this community a better place.  We truly look

    forward to working with you on the board.

         It was exciting to have a contested race that brought attention

    to our college, and I'm proud of how both campaigns have run it and

    heartened at the civility and depth of the forums.  It was refreshing

    to see.

         We were fortunate to have another candidate who is a dedicated

    educator in Ethan Orr, and we thank you for your candidacy too and





    your care for our college and obviously the entire community.

         Finally, thank you so much to all of you who were involved in

    helping get Prop 481 passed.  Sounds like there are many of you here.

    Clearly it was a big effort by a lot of people, has gone into it, and

    it paid off.

         PCCEA worked with the Arizona Education Association to spread the

    word locally, as well.  And as the chancellor said, the overwhelming

    vote in support is a testament to the confidence our community has in

    us.  So let's make them proud.

         Have a great rest of the semester, everybody.  See you back here

    in January if not before, and we look forward to the budget

    development process over the next few months.

         Have a good night.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much.

         The next item on our agenda, we will return to the administrative

    reports.  Re-entry protocols by Dr. Dor�, president of campuses and

    vice chancellor for student experiences and workforce.

         >> DR. DOR�:  Thank you, and good evening, Board Chair Clinco,

    members of the governing board, Chancellor Lambert, colleagues,

    students, guests.

         I'm pleased to let you know that the re-entry at our campuses and

    centers continues to be managed very well with strict protocol

    compliance in place, and students, faculty, and staff continue to be

    very cooperative and compliant with the social distancing and wearing

    of personal protective equipment.





         Most importantly I'm happy to report that there have been no

    COVID cases resulting from attendance at a Pima campus or center.  As

    always, I want to acknowledge the campus leadership, employee health

    and safety, and the program administrators, faculty, and staff, for

    their teamwork and collaboration on reporting potential issues and

    with contact tracing.

         Of course thanks to all of our students for their continued

    cooperation and flexibility.  I did want to point out, you know, as

    Dr. Moses was presenting, you know, all of the protocols that we have

    in place for the programs will be applied to the athletic program as

    well and all the contact tracing, that's all been worked out.

         I want to give you a little bit of update about some of the entry

    at the campuses.  We have been holding campus-wide virtual meetings

    at each of the campuses and they have been a wonderful way for campus

    communities to connect with one another.

         At our Downtown Campus, since our last board meeting, the adult

    basic education team began offering in-person appointments for

    students who are not able to complete the virtual intake process for

    ABE classes on their own.

         At these appointments, the staff assist the students in

    completing the registration process and submitting an online form so

    they can borrow a laptop from the college to study virtually.

         Also at the Downtown Campus, our testing center has been offering

    in-person exams, primarily for certification exams and GED testing.

    Based on the volume of exams and the student feedback, the center is





    now, we are operating on Saturdays and we are looking to expand to

    evenings as well.

         And at West Campus, the library has expanded its hours of service

    around curbside pickups, and the IT staff continue their work

    checking out devices to those in need as well as providing critical

    IT support to our students as well.

         Then at Desert Vista Campus, we are all set up and ready to

    provide appointments for students to sign up for a Wi-Fi computer

    work station to come into the campus.  Now, we delayed the launch of

    this pilot as a result of COVID uptakes in Arizona, and so we will be

    hopefully kind of re-examining that and offering that service fairly

    soon.

         Desert Vista is also coordinating with the Aztec Resource Center

    to bag food items for distribution to students in need, and we are

    scheduled to distribute the food bags on November 19th, and I want to

    thank all those at the college who have signed up to volunteer to

    help.  All of our volunteers have gone through training from the food

    bank to certify them in the handling of food.

         Northwest Campus, the science division faculty and lab staff,

    they have been very busy doing video recordings of experiments for

    the science courses to enhance the virtual instruction occurring in

    sciences, and the campus is hosting some partners to tape science

    experiments and activities as part of our partnership with the

    Arizona STEM Adventure, which we will actually be hosting virtually

    this year.





         At East Campus, they hosted the first sculpture on campus opening

    in four years, and they added eight new works to the already very

    impressive collection that they have at the campus.  This year's

    collection included the piece from a, PCC art student, that's the

    first ever for that program.

         I want to thank Mike Stack and Steven Higginbotham who put

    together an awesome virtual event with video narratives from each

    artist and of course PCCTV who always shine.  They once again put

    together an incredible program.

         Finally, at our 29th Street Center, we have now welcomed our U.S.

    Air Force paramedic cohort back to the center as well as we are doing

    contract work with the Tucson Fire Department in addition to our open

    enrollment programs.

         We will continue to work closely with the provost as we plan for

    the spring semester.

         This concludes my report, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any questions for Dr. Dor� about the

    re-entry?  No.  Okay.  Great work.  I am so glad to hear we haven't

    had a single case.  I think that really speaks volumes to ensuring

    the health and safety of everyone comes first as a priority.  I hope

    we can continue that tradition, especially now as we move into an

    uptick and maybe see a second wave.  I think we need to remain

    vigilant and as conscientious as possible.  Thank you very much,

    everybody.  We know it's a lot of work.

         >> DR. DOR�:  Thank you to everyone.





         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Next we have health and wellness with

    Denise Morrison.

         >> All right.  Well, thank you all so much.  I'm really excited

    to present to you and share with you all of the wonderful programs

    that we offer in our wellness department.  You know, Pima has some

    wonderful benefits, very generous benefits that are offered to our

    employees.  But I love our wellness program the best, because it

    offers tools for the employees and it feeds their mind, their body,

    and their spirits.

         So this year we have had about 600 employees participate in the

    different activities that we offer.  Most of those employees will

    earn the full $500 in wellness credits that can be used to either

    offset their medical premiums or be deposited into their has

    accounts.

         I'm going to share my screen with you here so that we can

    highlight a few of the (indiscernible) that we have had in the

    department this year.  Can you all see that?

         What we did when COVID-19 started and we went to a remote work

    environment, within a couple of business days we were able to

    successfully transition the wellness program to fully online

    activities.

         We do have a U of A intern who has launched a COVID-19 mental

    health calendar, so we are providing mental health awareness services

    through the wellness program to our employees.  Most notably we did

    have Deborah Carr from our EAP program at Jorgensen/Brooks host some





    sessions with employees to attend to kind of, so they could come out

    and share some of the issues that they have been experiencing during

    this time.

         She's also very mellow person, and she's very well in touch with

    some of the mental health issues that have arisen from COVID-19.

    Employees really feel like they can connect with her.

         So as a result, we are going to start offering monthly sessions

    with her so that employees can participate.

         We also have our first-ever wellness book club that's remote.  We

    are getting ready to pick the next book.  That will start up again in

    February.  We did manage to pull off flu shots at four campuses, and

    were able to vaccinate over 300 employees.  Special shoutout to Latva

    (phonetic) in facilities for providing much-needed assistance in

    getting the facilities ready.  Everyone prepped.  Emery W, our

    benefits manager, worked diligently to make this happen with Blue

    Cross Blue Shield and El Rio Health Center.  I was really excited we

    were able to pull this off.  This was not something I wanted to say

    no to it when approached, because it's a great service for the

    employees, and then that also meant that 300-plus employees didn't

    have to make appointments at Walgreens, CVS, wait 20 minutes to get

    their flu shots.

         We also offer virtual healthy cooking demos.  We were also a 2019

    Platinum Award winner for the Healthy Arizona Workplace and a 2020

    Silver Award winner for the American Heart Association.

         Coming up we do have some workshops for self-care and loneliness.





    We have ergonomics at home and virtual yoga, which is consistently

    attended by generally about 30 employees per week.

         What we have done with this program is that we have really

    committed ourselves to making it inclusive for employees.  We want

    employees to participate in the program.  We want them to earn the

    credits.

         We don't want people to feel as though participation is

    difficult, that it's cumbersome for them.  So we welcome suggestions

    from the employees as to how to improve the offerings that we do

    have.

         We also have a wellness committee, a group of employees here at

    the college who get together on a regular basis and discuss the

    program, how can we improve the program?  What are the participation

    rates?

         So this is one of those programs that we have that will

    continually evolve at the college.  We are looking to bring in -- we

    are bringing in financial wellness seminars, and we are also looking

    to bring inform some green education as well, educating the employees

    on how to be better stewards of the environment.

         That's really all I have.  Any questions?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any questions?  Okay.  Thank you very

    much.  I would just say to all of our employees, we really do

    recognize how difficult this period of time is.  You know there are

    ups and downs and there have been emotional hurdles that's been

    politically taxing, emotionally taxing, I know for some individuals





    it's been financially taxing.

         Reach out and take advantage of the programs that we have here.

    If you are under stress, if you feel you're having issues, contact

    your supervisors, contact HR, and take advantage of the programs.

         This institution is committed to the wellness of everyone.  We

    know that this is a trying time.  Don't hesitate and don't feel

    uncomfortable about reaching out.  I think everybody needs extra

    support during this time.  The fact that we have these resources is

    incredible, a lot of people don't.  Thank you.

         >> Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Next we have our enrollment management

    update with David Arellano, dean of enrollment management.

         >> DAVID ARELLANO:  Thank you.  Good evening, Chairperson of the

    Board, board members, Chancellor Lambert, colleagues and guests.

    I'll be providing a short update on spring admissions and enrollment.

         First I want to take a look at our spring applications compared

    to last spring.  So we are down 9% from last year during the same

    admissions period.  Essentially equates to 241 applications less.

    With that, I have also included our residency classifications for our

    spring applications which reflect the majority of students being

    classified in-state.  Again, this just shows the improvements we made

    back in April with the new application are working for our students.

         I also wanted to share the area of interest where students are

    intending to earn a degree, digging a little bit deeper into our

    spring '21 applicant pool.  You can see here health programs,





    business, and computer and IT-related programs have the most interest

    this spring from our students in terms of selecting that area of

    interest, selecting those programs and certificates, and moving

    forward with completing those.

         We also continue to provide enrollment in academic advising

    services virtually.  Students and staff feedback have been

    overwhelmingly positive on what we have been able to do during that

    virtual transition and continuing with that.  It's very early in our

    enrollment period, so we don't have all the data and it's trickling

    in.  Our spring registration period did open November 2, and so we

    are starting to work with students.  With that, our virtual callbacks

    since the spring schedule has been made available we have been

    working with students, so we have over 1700 student interactions just

    through the callback service.  This doesn't account for telephone

    services we offer 24/7, e-mail support, things like that.  We have

    been really interacting a lot with our spring applicants.

         Then we continue to do our outreach, so we have our weekly

    enrollment advising campaigns that we do with every new applicant,

    which is based on division or program of study, which I kind of

    highlighted in the previous slide.

         We continue to have our engagement with first year experience

    students.  Last week we had our new student welcome, really engaging

    those students, and then continuing our social media collaborations

    with the marketing and recruitment department, our student affairs

    and enrollment advisors.





         With that I will open up to any questions or comments you may

    have.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  David?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Mr. Hanna?  In my comments, I listed the

    things I thought during my tenure here had just changed immensely,

    and I left out student services.

         When I first came on the board, there were definitely some

    issues.  The change in how we deliver student services, how they

    affect our students, and how much that has improved, especially over

    the last few years, directly responsible for Dr. Lopez Robles and

    Dr. Desjardin and David.  I want to thank the three of you, your

    whole team, everybody involved in what's happened there.

         Just the simple thing of you showing that slide of the much

    smaller percentage of out-of-state students warms my heart, all

    right, because you know it was one of my issues.  I very much

    appreciate what you folks have completed.

         So thank you.

         >> DAVID ARELLANO:  We definitely thank your kind words and

    recognition of all the staff and student affairs working hard for our

    students.  And I also want to say I thank and appreciate all that you

    have done as a board member, and even as a community member prior to

    you being on the board.  We appreciate you pushing us, making us look

    into things, research things, because it all just leads to the

    betterment of our students and the services that we provide to them.

         So thank you from all of us in student affairs.





         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Ms. Garcia?

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  So, David, I still have some concerns about

    student recruitment.  And I understand, I guess with the information

    you have given, you guys have been doing advertisement, work with the

    counselors from the different schools for the dual enrollment, but

    there is actually no contact from the college, and correct me in I'm

    wrong, there is no contact from Pima Community College to the

    students themselves?  It's through the counselors, correct?

         >> DAVID ARELLANO:  There is actually quite a bit of contact.  So

    there is contact through our recruitment team.  Those are for like

    new applicants.  Once a student applies, then we have about 15

    enrollment advisors that work directly with the students.  We are

    reaching out to them weekly to walk them through that enrollment

    funnel process.

         So that's what steps do you need to take, activating your MyPima

    account, nudging and urging them to apply for financial aid,

    placements, new student orientation, things like that, through that

    enrollment funnel.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  But they have to apply and show an

    interest?  It's not like you guys are going out there and actually

    being present and recruiting them?  They have to apply to you guys?

    Is that correct?

         >> DAVID ARELLANO:  Yeah, for those particular students, the

    enrollment advisors are working with, they do have to apply.  But

    there has been a lot of virtual events so we don't have a lot of feet





    on campus right now just due to the school closures.  We partnered

    recently in the summer with the Pima County superintendent's office

    to do some virtual events.

         We will be continuing those throughout the fall and winter months

    to recruit students for the spring, but those are being conducted

    virtually.  Once I think things start opening up in the K12 arena

    that will change, as long as health and safety are considered as

    well.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Okay.  Thank you.  I really believe that

    the only way that we can increase enrollment is to start at the

    younger age, at the middle schools, and also to have a presence on

    the campuses, not wait for them to come to us but rather for us to

    show them what's available at Pima.

         >> DAVID ARELLANO:  Right.  We definitely believe it's full

    spectrum and we are all itching for that human interaction at every

    level.  That's where we do our best work is when we are interacting

    with our students.  Appreciate it.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Thank you.

         >> DAVID ARELLANO:  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any other questions?

         Okay, terrific.  Our next presentation is our enrollment forecast

    with Nic Richmond, vice chancellor for strategy, analytics, and human

    resource, analytics research.  Dr. Richmond?

         >> DR. RICHMOND:  Chair Clinco, members of the board, Chancellor

    Lambert, colleagues and guests.  It's my pleasure to be here this





    evening to share a brief update with the board and the other

    attendees at the meeting on enrollment forecasts, what the college

    can anticipate in the coming years.

         I'm going to share my screen.  As we go into this, I want to

    stress that the scenarios I'm going to share with you are based on

    enrollment.  Enrollment is a duplicated count of students across each

    class they are registered in.

         It's not exactly the same as FTSE, but there is a direct

    relationship between enrollment and FTSE.  FTSE is based on the

    credit hours associated with the different classes.

         Now, we continue to be in the situation where there are a number

    of unknowns that will be impacting our enrollment.  Some of them are

    listed here.

         It continues to be unclear how long the pandemic is going to

    last, though as we progress further, as vaccines are developed and

    tested, we start to get a little bit of a sense of this more than we

    had six months ago.

         There is also a question about public acceptance of a vaccine.

    There is research that's been done that indicates a lot of people may

    not be willing to take a vaccine, and then there is a question that

    even once we are through this, how quickly will people return to

    educational activities?

         We know that there is a significant impact on a lot of different

    people in many different ways regarding this pandemic.  So there is a

    question of how long will it take for people to feel comfortable





    returning to regular activities?

         We also need to keep in mind a couple different things.  While

    the pandemic is currently the primary driver of the enrollment

    changes that we are seeing, there are other factors that are at work.

    There was a recent discussion about demographics and the changes that

    we anticipate over time.  We need to keep those changes in mind as we

    plan for the future.

         Likewise, we are not just kind of passengers in this experience.

    There are things that are under our control that we can do to try to

    improve our enrollment.  Some examples actually just came up in the

    previous discussion, but also as the centers for excellence come

    online and we expand capacity in high-demand areas, that will have a

    positive impact on our enrollment.

         Before we look at the forecast, something else I'd like to share

    with the board.  In the spring we administered a number of student

    surveys.  In a couple of cases we had longitudinal surveys where we

    gathered input every few weeks from our students.

         We are carrying out a similar survey this semester as well.  We

    are carrying out some other surveys as well with a real focus on

    trying to understand the student experience so we can pivot and can

    adjust to try and be responsive and be sure we are doing the absolute

    best we can to meet the needs of our students.

         With that, let me share the three scenarios.  We're approaching

    this with these scenarios at the moment because of the unknowns, so

    we are thinking in terms of kind of what's possible in terms of what





    we may see happened.  But I should note we may start off with one

    path, but based on actions the college takes or if something happens

    more quickly than we anticipate with, for example, a vaccine, we can

    switch from scenario to scenario.

         So these are estimates.  They are ideas.  They are things that we

    are thinking around to frame how we approach the situation, but we

    know the reality is liable to be something different from this, and

    we may change from one to another over time.

         Within scenario 1, this is shown with a blue line here.  In this

    one, the impact of the pandemic is ongoing and we continue to

    experience enrollment declines.  This could flow from individuals

    losing their job, ongoing financial concerns and other life issues

    that are going to continue to impact many of the students that we

    serve.

         From last fall to this fall, we have experienced approximately a

    15% drop in enrollment.  The line shown here has a 5% drop fall to

    fall.  We anticipate the (indiscernible) drop in enrollment that we

    are likely to encounter with the pandemic, so we don't think we will

    see 15% again, but it is possible that we will continue to see a drop

    in enrollment for the next couple of years.

         Then within this scenario, this is followed by a slow enrollment

    recovery.  This is a situation where gradually confidence is

    developed, people return to classes, people are able to take steps to

    return to work and gradually return to normal activity, but it's a

    slow recovery from this so that it takes time.





         In the second scenario, we've adjusted to the pandemic.  People

    have kind of grown used to our new normal, and we don't see any

    drops, don't see increases either, but enrollment stays relatively

    flat for a few years.  After that we see that slow recovery period

    that I discussed in terms of the first scenario.

         Then the last option that we are considering at the moment is

    again flat initially.  Most of the information available that's

    discussed in the national news and elsewhere is that while it's

    possible a vaccine will be available early next year, it's going to

    take time to deploy that at (indiscernible), and so we anticipate

    that we will be living with some effects of this pandemic still a

    year from now, and it's reported it could be into 2022 that we get

    through much of this.

         But following this initial flat period, we see more rapid

    enrollment recovery.  This is where some of Pima's own efforts can

    play a part if we become more effective with our recruitment efforts.

    As the centers open and we can expand capacity in those areas that we

    know are in demand that lead to well-paying jobs for our students,

    that's going to enable us to increase capacity.

         Of course, the longer we are in this situation, the better we are

    going to adjust, the stronger our offerings will be in this virtual

    setting and so we will be able to respond more quickly.

         I realize I am presenting saying, well, at any moment it's either

    going to go down, stay the same, or it's going to go up.  It's kind

    of covering all the bases, right?  And I realize that.  Unfortunately





    because of the volume of unknowns right now, we really don't know

    across these scenarios.

         So we are planning so we are ready for whichever of these may

    occur, and as I mentioned earlier, we are monitoring trends,

    gathering student input so we can each be as responsible as we can so

    we can work towards ensuring that the outcome for the college is

    scenario 3 where we are flat followed by an increase.

         With that, I would be happy to take any questions.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any questions from members of the board?

    Okay.

         Thank you very much.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Demion?  Well, I lost my contacts so I

    didn't see a couple of the screens that Nic showed.  So I will have

    to go back and I will be sending questions later on.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  I think that's perfectly fine.  You can

    send them to the chancellor's office, he can forward them to

    Dr. Richmond and she can get them.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much.

         Next we have our human resource advisory committee update.

         >> Good evening, board, Chancellor, Chair Clinco, colleagues and

    guests.  I am Jeffrey Lanuez.  Tonight I present a very brief

    overview of the important work that the Pima Community College human

    resources board advisory committee accomplished in the past year.

         In our committee charter, we've stated that this overview will be





    presented to the board annually, and beginning in 2021 this overview

    is scheduled to move to be presented at the end of each fiscal year.

         For anyone interested, information on this board can be found on

    the Pima.edu website under the board's page.

         The committee wants to thank our two board sponsors, outgoing

    Board Member Hanna and Board Member Gonzales.  Board Member Hanna, a

    special thank you for your support for this committee and your

    commitment to our employees.

         I'd also like to thank the community and PCC members of the

    committee who serve as valuable resources to the college and provide

    their insights.  The members are Paul B, Anna M, Helena Rodrigues, my

    counterpart at the U of A, as well as our own Jeff Silvyn and Dave

    Bea.

         Along with our human resources department, this committee took on

    some very large projects since our last update.  These major

    committee topics included updating our committee charter, taking on

    the college's policy rewrite project of the employee handbook, and

    all associated employee policies, a total revamp of the college's

    compliance training and the current compensation classification

    study.

         As we are all aware, that COVID-19 created unique challenges for

    our employees and institution while also ushering in projects that

    were already on our plate but were instantly reprioritized as urgent

    due to the needs of working from home and the urgency of safety on

    and off our campuses, meaning the re-entry back into the workplaces.





         Much conversation and recommendations were provided at this

    committee level with a heavy emphasis on communication and safety of

    employees and keeping them fully employed.  We are proud to say that

    our institution has thus far weathered this pandemic with no layoffs

    or furloughs.

         This commitment to keeping all of our employees working does not

    come easy.  The last major initiative I will review tonight is the

    discussions the HR board advisory committee had around upskilling and

    reskilling employees.

         In order to not only transition to a remote work environment for

    instruction, which I know you have heard about the college's great

    work with the faculty, what the faculty does, it takes much work by

    the college and staff themselves to make this work for the

    institution.

         During the summer, HR has developed all new tools and programs to

    specifically engage employees at any level to make them productive in

    a remote environment, and now the focus is on readying them with our

    21st Century skills to meet the demands of a vastly new world of

    work.

         This committee provides a lot of valuable insight and

    recommendations to the HR department and communicates with the board.

         I look forward to presenting you information on the exciting work

    we are doing on employee development at another opportunity, and

    thank you for the time this evening to give you this quick update

    about the HR board advisory group.





         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you so much.

         Are there any questions from the board members?  Mr. Hanna?

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  I'd just like to mention that this committee

    was a direct result of recommendations from the HLC and from another

    outside group that audited our college at sort of the beginning of my

    term.

         I'm really proud that this committee is continuing to function

    and has been productive and another example of how this college took

    those sanctions that were leveled by the HLC, took them seriously,

    put much work into improving our college, and we are a better college

    because of it.

         Despite the fact that this was a terrifying time for the college

    when it happened, we are a much better college today than we were

    then.

         Thank you to Jeffrey and all the community members who serve on

    that committee and to my fellow board member, Mr. Gonzales.

         >> Thank you, Mr. Hanna.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any other questions, comments?  Hearing

    none, moving on to the budget update with David Bea, executive vice

    chancellor for finance and administration.

         >> DR. DAVID BEA:  Good afternoon, good evening, Chairperson

    Clinco, members of the board, Chancellor Lambert, colleagues and

    guests.

         I'm going to take a few minutes today to update the board on the

    monthly financial information that was provided to the board which is





    the year to date through September, walk through a few of the things

    that we talked about in October but also point out how they are

    starting to show up in our monthly financials and then avail myself

    to any questions the board may have.

         So if you look at it, you can start to see that we are starting

    to show the results of some of the COVID/pandemic effects are showing

    up in our annual financial or monthly financial reports.

         Most notably if you look at the year-over-year performance in our

    tuition and fees revenue, it's down somewhere near $5 million.  We

    talked about this in October.  That's principally due to the decline

    in enrollment plus the elimination of student payment plan fees and

    the elimination of charging tuition for the students, STU student

    success courses, so these are initiatives that we decided as an

    institution and the board was involved in making the decisions to

    reduce the burden on students to help them choose the college and

    come to the college and take classes here.

         That's the biggest difference between the two years.  Moving down

    though there are a couple of other things that are one-time effects

    that are sticking out a little bit.  First in investment income.

    You'll notice that our investment income is a negative number.  It's

    negative $2.5 million compared to negative $900,000 last year.

    That's something that occur at the beginning of the year as we book

    some real live gains or losses and then as the year goes by and we

    get returns on our investments because most of our investments are

    fixed income, those negative results will disappear and we're not





    expecting to have and we have talked with the board about we are

    expecting to have decline year over year in terms of our investment

    performance, but it's not that significant at this point.  It's more

    in the neighborhood of like $500,000 by year end.

         The next thing that would stick out is there is very little gain

    on capital asset disposal.  Last year we had booked a little over $2

    million so there is a difference between the two years of about $2

    million.

         That is the recognizing some of the gains we had from selling

    Community Campus.  That was a one-time effect that helped last year's

    financials that we won't see this year.

         So overall we've discussed and we had our eyes on what the big

    revenue changes are.  There aren't any big things that we haven't

    seen or discussed already.  Those will be folded into the budget

    projections, and then talking about what David Arellano and Nic

    Richmond mentioned, doing some of the enrollment projections as we go

    into the budget development cycle.

         On the expenditure side, there are a couple of changes.  They're

    pretty minor in effect but will become bigger.  One is that our

    instructional expenses are down a little bit.  That's due to adjunct

    faculty costs going down because we are being more efficient with our

    scheduling and how many courses we are offering, so that was an

    initiative we talked about and one of the strategies with the budget.

    That should realize a savings of about a million dollars in the fall

    semester and probably about the same in the spring.  That's really





    good news.

         And then the other thing on the expenditure side is we start to

    see there are significant increases in operations, plant operations,

    operations and maintenance to plant.  That's going to continue to

    happen because that's where the construction-related expenses will

    show up, and so that will be bigger expenses versus prior year

    because the construction expenses will be starting to come in fast

    and furious as you have seen the transportation building coming up

    and then some of the other projects, aviation, architectural projects

    for the other facility at Downtown Campus.

         Those are the main changes year over year, and we will continue

    to monitor and we will continue to have that conversation with the

    board.

         I will pause there and actually take a moment and you might be

    able to see this sign I got to wake up this morning with my great

    news, and confirmation that Prop 481 passed.  Thank you to the board

    for deciding to take the initiative and take a chance on going out to

    the voters and thank you to Pima County voters.  This is going to be

    an enormous impact to this institution where we can turn around and

    reinvest in the services that we will make, will make education more

    relevant and more timely and more impactful to all of our community.

         It's exciting.  It is overwhelming to see how much support we

    received from the community.  I'm grateful for all the support that

    we had there.

         With that, I will pause and ask if the board has any questions





    for me on the financial matters.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any questions for Dr. Bea?  Okay.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  This is my last meeting.  I have to get all

    my questions in.

         Dr. Bea, the elimination of the tuition for STU courses and the

    fees for of extended payments on tuition, I assume we set a limit for

    that?  Was it this semester?  Through the end of the calendar,

    academic year?  Which was it?

         >> DR. DAVID BEA:  Tuition-free STU program is through the end of

    the year, so it's through spring semester, and we will be talking

    with the board specifically about that as the budget development goes

    and whether we want to continue that as a college.  I think there is

    a great deal of support to do that, and we will have that

    conversation.

         The student payment plan, the elimination of the fee, also we are

    intending to continue that through this year.  It's really both

    heavily related to the impact and implications of COVID and pandemic

    and trying to provide as much support to our students who are

    experiencing a great deal of economic and personal distress.  We are

    doing what we can to help.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any other questions?

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  I would encourage the board going forward to

    consider keeping that elimination of tuition on the STU courses, and

    I think at some point we should be able to tell the impact that's had

    on students being able to take those classes, encouraging them to





    take those classes which help them do better as they move through

    their college career.  I'd urge the board to think seriously about

    making that permanent.  Thanks.

         >> DR. DAVID BEA:  Board Member Hanna, thank you for being ever

    vigilant in your support for students.  It's made a big difference.

    I appreciate everything you have done.  So thank you, and we'll miss

    you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Okay.  I skipped over one of our

    presentations, and I apologize.  We still have student enrollments

    and Irene Robles Lopez and Suzanne Desjardin.

         >> Thank you, Chairperson Clinco, board members, Chancellor

    Lamber, colleagues and guests.  We'd like to take a moment to thank

    Mark Hanna for his years of service and his commitment to our

    students, our college, and community.  You definitely will be missed,

    Mark, so on behalf of student affairs, thank you so much.

         At this point we would like to present an update on our student

    wellness assistance program, which provides mental health services

    and information for our students.

         I will now hand it over to Dr. Suzanne Desjardin, dean of

    students.

         >> Good evening, everyone, Chairperson Clinco, board members,

    Chancellor Lambert, colleagues and guests.  This is a death by

    PowerPoint slide.  This has all the information about the student

    wellness assistance program and a snapshot for you.

         I'm not going to read each bullet, but I did want to highlight





    that one of the things we are very pleased, and you heard from Denise

    Morrison's presentation earlier tonight, is that we were able to use

    the same vendor that is providing the employee assistance program who

    also provides the student assistance program at the University of

    Arizona online.

         We were able to get into that contract last year.  You all

    remember you authorized that.  It began last July, and it has been

    such a blessing to our students, given the pandemic and everything

    that we have seen happen.

         We have some relief, we have a cushion that we know that students

    have 24/7 live TeleHealth access to credentialed licensed

    psychotherapists that they can receive up to six free sessions per

    issue per year of service, and the people they are receiving the

    services from are licensed in their state of practice.

         As you all know, because our students are living all over,

    especially students that we have serving in the military and they may

    be abroad, we will make sure through this service that they are

    connected to a licensed credential professional.

         That brings us to the different languages that are also available

    highlighted there, as well.  English, Chinese, French, Hindi,

    Portuguese, Spanish.  Another benefit, as we are all learning about

    TeleHealth in this age of the pandemic, students can get connected

    directly by phone, but they can also connect virtually, they can

    download an app, can go into their MyPima student account portal and

    can message or have a regular TeleHealth appointment.





         Within that portal, they also have a host, and we will see in

    just another moment in one of the upcoming slides, a host of material

    so that the stigma of counseling, and Chairperson Hanna certainly

    knows this with his background, the stigma of reaching out and asking

    for help and actually talking with a counselor can sometimes be very

    difficult.

         What we have really seen is a large increase, in fact, a 45%

    increase from this time last year into use of the direct clinical

    counseling services and within the portal itself.

         So a lot of students are going in there.  They are not only

    looking at podcasts, webinars, articles on mental health.  There is a

    lot of other things that are in there that's very holistic.  Things

    like childcare resources, elder care resources, legal advice,

    financial advice, it's just lots and lots of information.  So we are

    very pleased that we have been able to provide the service to our

    students.

         We wanted to give you a snapshot that kind of gives you a sense

    of what's been happening this calendar year.  So as we have talked

    about, we have seen an absolute increase since the pandemic occurred

    in March.

         If you wanted to get a sense of, again, taking a look at what are

    the clinical cases, that's the psychotherapy I just mentioned, how

    many of students are receiving one-on-one help for those, what are

    things that are more worklife type of issues, and then what is the

    total number of web hits within the portal.





         That's a quick overview but gives you an idea of what kind of

    usage that we are seeing.

         And then in the following slide we've got some additional

    information for you that again is more of a snapshot of

    chronologically what did we see when we first rolled out the program

    last year, July to December.  For example, you could see back then we

    had 58 students from July to December that were connected for

    clinical and/or worklife, whereas this year it's 95 students between

    those two categories.

         That might not sound like a lot when you look at the total

    student population, but what we have found and even our own

    counseling team will attest to this is often students don't

    necessarily want the in-depth psychotherapy.  They may just want to

    talk to someone or take those steps towards asking for help through a

    lot of the self-help materials, as I mentioned.

         So for trends, the kinds of trends we have seen reported, that's

    for you here, I think everyone can relate that stress and anxiety are

    certainly on the rise.  Panic, low mood or depressive symptoms.

    Difficulty with concentration.  Helplessness.  Workplace or stress

    issues, performance issues.  Those have been some of the trends.

         Again, the website portal visits comparatively, if we were

    looking at this year so far versus last, first six months of the

    program, we are definitely going to be increasing, I believe we will

    exceed the portal log-ins.

         A great update we just had through our awesome web services team,





    they created a link in the faculty teach tab in the MyPima portal so

    that faculty can now make those referrals directly.

         If a student asks to talk with them privately before class, after

    class, et cetera, we have had some psychology faculty reach out,

    social services faculty reach out, for obvious reason those are often

    where students go when they want to talk to someone who they know has

    a background.  All of our faculty and instructors have been those

    lifelines for students.  Faculty can now show them exactly where to

    find the resource in the MyPima portal.

         Then I would be remiss if I did not highlight the excellent work

    that our current counseling team continues to do around mental

    health.  So that last column is just giving you some highlights from

    things that happened this semester from the counseling team.  They

    held live virtual events that are recorded and posted to all of our

    social media for suicide awareness, live depression screening,

    partnership with the honors program around domestic violence and

    reaching out for help.  We have just seen that team really step up to

    the plate to assist our students, as well.

         Last, I would also be remiss if I did not personally thank Mark

    Hanna for keeping everyone reminded about students being the center

    of all the work that we all do and the importance of counseling,

    advising, student affairs.  Thank you for being a champion for us and

    an advocate for our students always.

         With that, if there are any questions, I will stop sharing.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any questions from the board?  Okay.





    Hearing none, thank you very much for the presentation.  We

    appreciate the work you're doing for the students in this difficult

    time.

         Next we have our reports by representatives of the board.  Our

    first is our student report with Sage F M.  Sage, are you there?

         >> I was just added.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  That's okay.  Thank you for being here.

         >> So for November 2020, virtual adult education, last month

    during the National Adult Education Literacy Week, several adult

    education ambassadors shared their stories with Arizona senators on

    how adult education has changed their lives.

         Governor Doug Ducey was presented with the adult education

    leadership award for his support for our program over the past few

    years.

         At the city level, two ambassadors and recent GED graduates met

    with Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, sharing their personal stories and

    concerns for the future.  These graduates will start taking PCC

    classes this semester.

         Virtual Student Life, we had the JADE 2020 program.  Students

    will build on their leadership skills and have meaningful dialogue on

    leadership, social justice and empowerment.  JADE stands for Justice,

    Advocacy, Dialogue, and Empowerment.  These topics are interspersed

    throughout the program.  Topics include race, gender, sexual

    orientation, disabilities, socioeconomic status, religion,

    spirituality, intersections of identities, and systems of power and





    privilege.

         It is for students who have foundational leadership skills.

    Prior completion of emerging leaders is strongly recommended.  You

    will develop a group project to address change and foster discussion

    and action at PCC in Tucson and other communities.

         2020 JADE program is offered virtually through Zoom, Discord, and

    other platforms Tuesday evenings from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.  Program

    structure is as follows.  Zoom program with all participants.

    November 2 through 8, race, power and privilege, Speakout Institute.

    November 10 and 17, movie viewing and discussion via Discord.

    November 18 through 30 the students will work on small groups on a

    social change project.  December 1 is the gallery walk and small

    presentations via Zoom.

         Virtual first year experience hosted today, Popcorn With a

    Program features social services known as the flavor of the month and

    introduces students to their programs' trifecta of subject matter

    experts from advising.  PCC and transfer universities, instruction

    and Student Life clubs.

         Finally, for the student senate, the Pima Aztec Student Senate

    hosted a virtual voter education forum that is now available for

    viewing on the Pima Student Life YouTube channel, faculty members

    Dr. Amy Cramer and Eric S.  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much.  We really appreciate

    it.

         Next we have our faculty adjunct report with Sean Mendoza.





         >> He's not with us.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Next is staff report with Michael Lopez.

         >> Hello.  Chairman Clinco, Chancellor Lambert, Governing Board

    members, colleagues and guests.  First of all, I want to say hello to

    everyone and hope everyone is doing well.

         I want to congratulate everyone at Pima that was responsible for

    the Proposition 481 passing.  I know it took a lot of work, and I

    wanted to really recognize the voters.  It seemed like everyone that

    asked me, it was as soon as I said, well, it's going to help Pima,

    they jumped on it, you know, and I know there is a lot of people that

    were pulling for Pima.  I appreciated the report earlier about the

    next few years, possible outcomes.

         I was wondering there is will the students still be coming from

    the same types of populations, or what may we be looking at

    differently there.

         I want to welcome Cat Ripley to the board, and also, before I end

    the report, I want to thank Mr. Hanna for everything that you've

    done, the way that you have been a part of Pima, always wanting to be

    there for the students, showed yourself at every event and activity

    possible.

         You always gave your service and commitment to the best interest

    of the college and the community and to Pima Community College.

         Thank you very much.  That ends my report.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much, Mr. Lopez.

         Next we have our faculty report with Brooke Anderson.





         >> BROOKE ANDERSON:  Good evening.  Chairman Clinco, board

    members, valued guests.  Faculty Senate held its October meeting on

    October 2nd.  At this meeting, Faculty Senate president, Josie

    Milliken, reminded senators that faculty can encourage students to

    vote.  She shared an example statement for faculty to post in their

    D2L announcements, on their home pages, as well, as Pima's voting

    information page.

         I'm sure we are all anxiously awaiting the national results of

    the election, and we are thrilled that Pima had some big wins this

    round.

         As far as our personal senate elections, we welcome Brandy

    Randolph.  He was elected to serve as the ACC rep, and we also

    welcome Denise Reilly who will serve as secretary.

         The provost and executive vice chancellor, Dolores Duran-Cerda,

    president and executive vice chancellor, Dr. Dor�, and executive vice

    chancellor for finance and administration, David Bea, presented on

    the chancellor's goals.

         Senate president, Josie Milliken, presented an on-time

    registration update.  She shared that most faculty and administrators

    think the college should consider suspending on-time registration,

    and faculty senate officers and administrators would be meeting to

    further investigate the possibility.

         Since then, the group has met once, and will be meeting again

    soon later this month.

         The leadership team for instructional transformation has been





    meeting with focus groups that include faculty to collect stakeholder

    input on topics related to components of instructional work that need

    to be included in Pima structure to appropriately support learners.

         After completion of each of the focus group rounds the team will

    be sharing summary documents, and they will be soliciting additional

    feedback.

         On October 21, Faculty Senate officers met with administration

    and discussed important agenda items like re-evaluating on-time

    registration, the cross-discipline collaborations that will be

    happening through the TLC, the Faculty Senate student panel happening

    this Friday, November 6, which senators are really looking forward

    to, and the Faculty Senate systemic justice committee's work with

    syllabi statements.

         Faculty Senate executive officers also met with Dean Greg Wilson

    on October 22 to gain a stronger sense of applied technology's

    courses, programs, and certifications.

         Our next meeting is this Friday, November 6.  I do have several

    faculty I'd like to recognize for their notable accomplishments

    tonight.

         Writing faculty member Alejandra Ramirez has co-published a

    chapter titled Smile Now, Cry Later, navigating structures of

    inequality in academia through resistance, resilience, and humor in

    our women of color writing group.  It's part of the edited

    collection, Amplified Voices Intersecting Identities, volume 1.

         In addition, Alejandra signed a book contract with Rutledge on a





    collection titled Transnational Feminist Arts Praxis and Pedagogies

    for Decolonization.  Critical engagements with art and activism for

    series Rutledge's research in decolonizing education.

         The TLC, like I mentioned, continues to organize and host

    professional development events including an exciting one upcoming

    that is temporarily titled Cross-disciplinary Connections and

    Conversations.  This event series will allow for disciplines across

    the college to share information about their areas so faculty can

    gain a stronger sense of the college community and of the pathways of

    our students.

         Additionally, the TLC have shared the sabbatical committee's

    video, how to apply for a sabbatical, with faculty.  Finally we have

    a nice list from Faculty Senate president Josie Milliken on the kinds

    of faculty-driven equity work currently taking place at the college.

    Like I mentioned before, the Faculty Senate systemic justice action

    committee has been meeting consistently throughout the fall and is

    analyzing curriculum and teaching related obstacles to equity and

    inclusion at the college.

         Some of these obstacles concern assessment practices, course

    content, learning outcomes, and delivery methods.  The committee's

    most current project is a reexamination of syllabi.  In the coming

    months, the committee will provide example syllabus statements for

    faculty use and will offer a TLC workshop on the art of inclusive and

    equitable syllabi creation.

         Many faculty are switching to contract grading, because it is a





    more equitable grading method.  Faculty are also working with

    external organizations to mentor diverse students in fields, areas

    where underrepresentation is a concern.

         The writing department is collaborating with programs in

    departments across Pima Community College to develop a liberatory

    writing across the curriculum program.

         This group's mission is to support and empower student writers in

    all disciplines through liberatory right to learn curriculum and

    justice-oriented writing assessments in pedagogy.

         Josie Milliken, in a related area, is developing a PimaOnline

    seminar focusing on equity and open education.

         The math department, their DFC is developing co-requisite classes

    to improve success rates for underprepared students entering the

    college.  Librarians have been making services more accessible, and

    are adapting to the needs of all of our students while also

    diversifying the library collection.  In addition, librarians are

    partnering with faculty to reach out to students early on in courses

    if their participation has decreased or diminished.

         Writing and ESL faculty work together to develop writing 101 SE

    for students who have completed ESL.  This course is specifically

    tailored to the needs for students for whom English is a second

    language and will be offered fall 2021.

         Finally, all faculty are continuing to dedicate themselves and

    work hard to adapt new technology and new virtual learning

    environments to meet student needs.





         I want to continue thanking the Governing Board and

    administration for prioritizing the health and safety of Pima

    employees and students and for continuing to support employee social

    justice and equity work.  I'm sure many of my employees still would

    like to express the same sentiment.

         And finally, to end tonight on behalf of all faculty, I want to

    extend my thanks to Mark Hanna for his unwavering dedication and

    service to this college.  You have been a positive and warm hearted

    leader at this institution that many of us admire.

         And I want to congratulate and welcome Cat Ripley to the board.

         Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much.  We appreciate all

    the reports.

         I don't believe we have Craig, Jim Craig on the phone, but we do

    have a written report from him in the board report.

         Next we have our chancellor report.  Chancellor Lambert?

         >> DR. LEE LAMBERT:  Thank you.  Good evening, everybody.  First

    and foremost, we did it.  We should all feel very, very proud of what

    we have accomplished leading up to last night's, over 70% support

    from the community for Prop 481.

         Mark, I remember when you first started.  I don't know if you

    knew this, but you're the first board member that I have been

    chancellor where it was a full six years together.  Sylvia was

    already on the board before I was hired.  So you're the first to,

    that we did that together.





         Also, Mark, I don't know if you remember, just as you were coming

    on board, we had just learned that we're getting our funding zeroed

    out by the State of Arizona.  We were close to losing our ability to

    certify veterans' benefits.  And while you were here, we were close

    to losing our ability to continue to educate and train aviation

    students.

         And the list goes on.  I bring all that up, because it's so

    important for folks never to forget that we just not too long ago we

    were in dire straits.

         It seems like a lifetime ago for some, especially for new folks

    who didn't live through all of that, and I want to make sure that we

    never return back to that.  So I want you to know, Mark, you have my

    commitment to open admissions.  I have always been committed to open

    admissions.  It's one of the main reasons I work in community

    colleges.  The college, as long as I am here, we will stay committed

    to open admissions.

         Also, I just want to thank you for your tremendous support.  We

    would not have made it through those tough times without yourself and

    the other board members who helped really shape and define a vision,

    that we weren't just focused on cleaning up problems, but we were

    truly focused on the future.

         It's easy to get caught up in what's right in front of you,

    dealing with all these problems, and not knowing where you're going.

         But we did both, and I think thanks to you, Mark, we have

    illustrated that we have been able to take things to a whole new





    level.  We have created a culture of openness.  We have created a

    culture where innovation can thrive.  We have created a culture where

    people can speak their mind.  There was a time where people were

    afraid to speak their mind.  Now people are free to speak their mind.

    We don't always have to free, but at least people know their

    perspectives are appreciated.

         I also want to add, and I can say this now, because I got

    contacted tonight with the official word that Pima Community College

    has five, five programs, that have been selected as Bellwether

    finalists.  That is unprecedented, folks.

         We may be lucky to get two, maybe three, but five?  Selected for

    Bellwether.

         That would not happen without great board members like yourself,

    Mark.  Supporting the vision, supporting, creating a culture that

    allows for innovation to occur.  We would not be where we are today.

         And for those of you not familiar, we won the Bellwether award

    last year.  Well, we were nominated last year, but we received it

    this year.  Same thing will happen as we go into next year, January,

    when the Futures Assembly convenes.

         So we are hoping that we will come back with at least one if not

    more Bellwether awards.  This time, unlike last time we were chosen

    for two categories, this year we were chosen for all three

    categories.  Our programs, PimaOnline, chosen for the planning and

    governance category.  Our paramedic and HBOG (phonetic) programs for

    the workforce program area.





         Then on the instructional side, we have IBEST and our prior

    learning assessment have been chosen.  So we are doing innovative

    work at Pima.  Pima is not just on the map.  We are helping to shape

    what the map is going to look like.

         Mark, please be proud of, you have contributed to making that

    happen.  So thank you.

         As I say to all of us, you know, we are one Pima, one team, and

    we are one family.  I think when we stay focused to that, we

    accomplish these great things that we are now seeing, whether it's a

    Prop 481, whether it's these Aspen recognitions, whether it's the

    Bellwether recognitions, it happens because we are all moving in the

    same direction.

         Also, I just want to note for the public, I mean, and I made

    phone calls last night and this morning to thank a lot of the folks

    that Demion, you made reference to earlier, but there are some folks

    who don't get recognized very often, and it's folks that are often

    behind the scenes who don't -- and I notice some folks in the Pima

    All this morning, but here are some folks I didn't note in the Pima

    All.  A lot of them come out of Lisa's team.  I want to thank Paul

    Schwalbach.  Paul is able to take the thoughts and the perspectives

    and really frame them into some great talking points.  So thank you,

    Paul.

         Also Libby.  Libby Howell doesn't get recognized much.  She

    helped to set up a number of the meetings that former Mayor Jonathan

    Rothschild and I spoke at, whether it was first thing in the morning





    before 8:00 or after 5:00, presenting to a number of groups

    throughout our community.  Libby was part of making that happen.

         Another person that also goes unnoticed is Gabby.  Gabby is the

    one that has to move my schedule around when things get set last

    minute.  They want you to come talk here, Lee.  Can you make it

    happen, Gabby?  And she finds a way to move things around.

         I know it's unsettling at times, but she gets it done.  I just

    want to recognize those folks for what they do to contribute to the

    success of the college.

         Also want to say to the community at large, we made a commitment

    under 481 to invest, strengthen, expand our academic transfer areas,

    our workforce development areas, our adult education areas, our

    developmental education areas, strengthen student supports, look at

    bringing back childcare and parent education.

         We are going to take all that and create a dashboard, and then we

    will be able to show how these investments line up with these

    different pieces that we had been communicating to the community that

    by supporting us we are going to support back into these areas that

    are going to help ultimately our students and our community.  So we

    will start to help shape that and these become really strategic focal

    points as well.

         Also I want to say congratulations to Cat.  I look forward to

    working with you.  I really appreciate your enthusiasm, and thank you

    for taking my call last night.

         Also, I just want to recognize Ethan Orr.  He's been a tremendous





    supporter of the college, ever since I arrived here at Pima County.

    He was in the legislature, as you all know.  We had a delicate issue

    happening at that time, and Ethan really stepped up for Pima to

    really help us blunt some bad effects of our legislation if it would

    have went through.

         Thank you, Ethan.  We will look forward to continue partnering

    with you and your role at the University of Arizona.

         I want to say in response to something Michael shared in his

    report, so if you think about the number of individuals in our county

    who need access to education, keep in mind, and you have heard me say

    this many times, especially the employees, there are as many working

    adults who have some college or no degree or who have no degree at

    all as there are the number of complete students in the total preK

    system.

         Remember, every year we are graduating out of our high schools

    somewhere probably around 8500 maximum 10,000 students.  So you have

    140, 150, 160,000 folks over here and you have about 10,000 folks

    graduating every year.  Remember, of those 10,000 folks, only about

    half of them go to college.

         So where's our opportunity space?  It's not that we ignore the

    K12 piece, but we've got to continue to do more to attract that

    working adult.

         The other thing we talked about and Ian highlights this a lot,

    many students are coming to us after being out of high school about

    10 years, the lost generation.  We have to figure out a way to





    shorten that time horizon where they finally figure out they need to

    come and get skilled and reskilled and recareered.

         So we will be working on that.  That's where our opportunities

    lie, Michael and everybody, is in there.  It's not one versus the

    other.  It's how we do all of that and do it better.  I think we're

    on our way to absolutely doing that.

         And then for those of you who are not familiar with contract

    grading, fortunately I went to a college who did that with its

    students, so I had firsthand student experience with contract

    grading, and when I was an employee at that college I also did

    contract grading for students.  I'm so proud to hear from Brooke and

    from our faculty that we are doing this.  It really will make a

    difference.

         It's a contract with the student about the level of work they

    will be putting in and by putting in that work, doing it at a certain

    level of quality, that they know this is the grade they can count on.

         So it's a different way of grading.  I think it's a great way of

    grading, and it really starts to allow us to personalize the learning

    to that individual.  And really help see their growth and development

    over time.

         So I'm just so proud of our faculty for bringing that innovation

    and hopefully we can do more as we go over time.

         With that, again, just think -- let me close with one last thing.

    Pima Community College is at the forefront of helping the State of

    Arizona with its reskilling and recovery plan.  We are one of the





    community colleges sitting with the governor's office, sitting with

    the Arizona Commerce Authority, sitting with our workforce system,

    sitting with Achieve60AZ, and working to develop a comprehensive

    reskilling and recovery plan in which Pima is a prominent player in

    that effort.

         Then when you bring that closer to home, Pima is leading the

    planning for the recovery and response plan under the direction of

    Sun Corridor for our community.

         So I'm so proud that, and so, Mark, just know, thanks to your

    guidance and your commitment, this college is in the best place it

    has ever been probably in decades.

         So thank you so much for what you have done for Pima and I look

    forward to staying in touch as we go through the horizon here.  Thank

    you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much, Chancellor Lambert.

         Next we have our information items.  Item No. 3.

         Mr. Silvyn, if you could read the information items, please.

    been certified to teach at Pima Community College.  Finally, the

    fiscal year 2021 through 2022 budget development calendar.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  We have next our consent agenda.  If you





    could read that.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Thank you.

         The items on the consent agenda for this evening are the minutes

    of the October 6, 2020, all these dates in 2020, executive session.

    September 21 study session.  Minutes from October 7 executive

    session.  Minutes from October 7 regular meeting.

         We have one candidate for faculty emeritus status, Roger D.

    Irwin.  There are program inactivations.  Those are two program

    currently clock hour certificates that are being discontinued.

         We have an agreement with Chicanos Por La Causa for it to provide

    student case management and program participant support services

    related to Department of Labor grant that the college has at the

    Downtown Campus.

         Total value of that, period of that agreement goes through July

    14, 2023, not expected to exceed $402,880.  Also have

    intergovernmental agreement with the Wichita State University campus

    of applied science and technology which relates to the licensing of

    logistics and supply chain management curriculum in exchange for

    payment from Wichita State.

         We have an intergovernmental agreement with Cochise County

    Community College to allow Pima Community College to provide certain

    career and technical and education programs at the Arizona State

    Prison complex located in Douglas, because Cochise Community College

    is no longer going to be providing those services.





         We have an intergovernmental agreement with the Arizona

    Department of Corrections Rehabilitation and Re-Entry to provide the

    services I just referred to, specifically automotive and construction

    career and technical education at the Douglas state prison complex

    through June 30, 2023, at the currently published rates of community

    college up to $251,349 per year.

         There is a dual enrollment agreement with the Abbie School.  Also

    a dual enrollment agreement with Ombudsman Educational Services, a

    company that runs two charter schools, Hikei (phonetic) Charter High

    TeamDynamix Solutions, an information technology service management

    company that provides a suite of services for Pima Community College

    IT functions.  The total value of the contract, it's potentially a

    six-year agreement.

         This amendment would extend the agreement through June 30, 2024.

    The extension is for $78,693, which would bring the total value of

    the contract through 2024 to $360,377.

         There is also a proposed agreement with CampusLogic, Inc.,

    provides a suite of software solutions used for financial aid and

    30, 2023.  Total costs are not expected to exceed $681,303.  There is

    also a request for authority to execute up to two one additional

    renewal options for the contract.  If we did that and the contract

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Second?

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Second.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any discussion?  Hearing none, all in

    favor of the motion signify by saying aye.

         (Ayes.)

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Anyone opposed?

         Okay.  Hearing none, the motion passes unanimously.

         Next we have our proposed annual calendar regular board meetings.

    Mr. Silvyn, could you read the recommendations, please?

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Thank you.  The chancellor recommends that

    the Governing Board approve the proposed annual calendar of regular

    board meetings for 2021 and January 2022, the specific calendar and





    dates is included with the board materials.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Do I have a motion to approve the

    recommendation?

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  So moved.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Is there a second?

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Second.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Any discussion?

         Hearing none, Mr. Silvyn, could you do a roll call vote, please?

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Certainly.  Mr. Clinco?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Yes.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Dr. Hay?

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Yes.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Mr. Hanna?

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Yes.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Ms. Garcia?

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Yes.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Mr. Gonzales?

         >> MR. LUIS GONZALES:  Yes.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  The motion passes unanimously.

         Next we have action item 5.2, West Campus Allied Health Center of

    Excellence, planning update and direction on location options.

         Mr. Silvyn, can you begin by reading the recommendation?

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Thank you.  The chancellor recommends the

    Governing Board authorize the chancellor or designee to proceed with

    the planning and design of the allied health center of excellence at





    the West Campus and provide direction to the college between option

    No. 1, which is a new building design, or option No. 2, a renovation

    of existing facilities.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Is there a motion to approve?

         We are going to modify.  What if we begin by making a general

    motion to approve the recommendation and then we will modify it to

    reflect the direction of the A or B?  How does that sound?

    Mr. Silvyn?

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  As the board pleases.  Or you could have the

    presentation, someone could make a motion in favor of option 1 or

    option 2, that could happen now, or as you have suggested, any of

    those would be appropriate paths forward.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Do I have a motion to approve the

    recommendation?  Then we will make an amendment to the direction.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  So moved.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Second.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Discussion.  Chancellor Lambert?

         >> DR. LEE LAMBERT:  Good evening, everybody.  I'm so pleased

    that we could finally bring to you a clear option to move forward

    with an Allied Health facility.

         As you recall, as we were going into this year, we had presented

    some options to the board.  The board was leaning towards going down

    the path of building new, had directed us to begin looking at

    building that into the budget, and then the pandemic hit.

         So we never got completely through that process side of that.  We





    are now very pleased to bring forward what we believe is the way

    forward and we are hoping that the board will support the

    recommendation.

         With that, I'm going to turn it over to Bill to take you through

    some of the details.  I believe David and Yolanda is also here.

    Yolanda would be able to share some enrollment pieces that were asked

    at the study session and the like.

         Bill?

         >> BILL WARD:  I'm ready.  Chairman Clinco, members of the board,

    students, colleagues, guests, I'm very excited about bringing this

    project forward and also very excited, Mark, that you get to approve

    one more -- or hopefully you approve, one more big ticket item for

    the college.

         I'd like to start out by letting everyone know or reminding

    everyone that as part of our educational and facilities master plan

    that was approved in 2018, it was highly recommended that the college

    consolidate all of its operations related to the Allied Health

    programs at the West Campus.

         So just understand that that was a recommendation that was

    approved, and it's the way that we have been looking at things

    related to this proposed project.

         In February we presented or Dr. Bea presented three different

    funding options to the board related to the Allied Health center of

    excellence and we left that meeting with a strategy to fund the

    project out of our accumulated cash reserves of approximately 9





    million per year for the next four years.

         This still allowed for the remaining healthy reserves for the

    college district.  This was something that was highly looked at not

    just by us but Dr. Bea and his team and also Dolores and Dave were

    also part of this assessment.

         The plan was to build the costs into the fiscal year's budget.

    However, with COVID, like the chancellor said, with the COVID-19 we

    placed it on hold until we could reassess our options.

         As you guys remember, we had looked at developing a, the first

    recommendation, was to build a new building, and then we went back

    and reassessed things, and then came back with a recommendation to

    also remodel facilities.

         The West Campus center of excellence update was presented to the

    board, as you all may remember, Monday, October 26.  Facilities

    developed in partnership with the provost, president of campuses and

    finance, we developed update on West Campus center of excellence,

    Allied Health, detailed the existent current conditions, the current

    renovation projects and process.  As you remember, I talked also

    about the work that we were doing with the science labs, which were

    also going to tie to this facility, and also the portable building we

    are building up on the hill close to the A building.

         And so with that stated, option 1 was a stand-alone three-story

    new construction facility, about 75,000 square feet, and estimated

    project cost of $35,100,000.

         Option 2 is to renovate three existing buildings, building H,





    building J, and then the first floor of D.  That will expand the

    classroom and lab space, about 49,000 square feet from 31,000 square

    feet what it is now, we actually would be expanding square footage

    that we have at this site because there are some areas that we are

    able to capture, and so we are looking at about 81,000 feet,

    expanding to 110,000 square feet, and estimated project cost of

    23,500,000.  Actually that cost includes all three of those

    facilities.

         The Governing Board requested additional information on

    timelines.  That's something that should be a part of your packet,

    but I can go through that if you would like.  Option 1, timeline

    which is for both options we have already started in a sense, our

    goal would be if the board approves this, our goal would be to have

    an architect or design team on the board by March and then with the

    completion date of 2023, at the end of 2023.

         Option 2, same process.  We have already started.  Our goal would

    also be to hire an architect to bring that on at the same time with a

    completion date of December 2023.

         The goal and the thing with that proposal is we would be doing

    three different facilities, and kind of in the same process that we

    followed when we did the, doing related to the centers of excellence

    at the Downtown Campus, we hire an architect and what they would do

    is literally design the whole project so that would be all three

    buildings but then we would bring them on at separate time frames so

    we would not cause any issues with the site.





         So that's what we propose.  The West Campus would be

    comprehensive hub for a significant number of PCC programs, nursing,

    dental, other Allied Health programs.  We did decide we are not going

    to be moving that tech that's a program, it will stay at the East

    Campus where it's located now, but all other medical programs would

    be recommended to move to the West Campus.

         And so with that, hopefully tonight's action we can begin this

    process of assessing an architect and moving things forward.  Dave?

         >> DR. DOR�:  I think you have set it out clear, Bill.  And then

    Yolanda has some enrollment data, Board Member Garcia, that you were

    asking for, so she can present that as well as some of our completion

    data, and then looking at these options.

         Yolanda, you want to present some of that data?

         >> I sure would like to.  I'm going to share my screen with you.

    I hope you can see that pretty clear.  Chair member Clinco,

    Chancellor Lambert, board members, thank you for giving me the

    opportunity to come and speak with you guys tonight about this.

         What I did, and first I'd like to explain to you where I got the

    information from.  I went to each one of the directors and department

    heads of the medical programs that will be combined under the center

    of excellence to get their enrollment capacity.

         Then we pulled an enrollment report from Banner which shows

    exactly how many students are enrolled in each one of the health

    courses that's currently enrolled for fall of 2020 and populated the

    data from those two areas.





         If you look at the report, currently each one of the programs

    have an average of about 89.6% enrollment based on their program

    capacity, and this is in the midst of COVID where we were faced with

    a lack of clinical space, the limited ability to bring students into

    our skills labs, and just so that you're aware, our skills labs are

    running from 7:00 in the morning until 7:00 at night, because we are

    making sure to keep the students safe as well as the community.  We

    are bringing them in in smaller groups.

         This also shows this enrollment based off of a limited number of

    students that we are able to bring into simulation lab, and we have

    been using simulation to accommodate for the lack of clinical space.

         It's a little bit difficult to project the program capacity

    moving forward, or enrollment, like increase in enrollment, and one

    of the reasons I say that is because a lot of our health programs are

    accredited, and to increase program capacity, it's going to be based

    on the available clinical space.  It's also going to be based on the

    number of faculty that we have, because our accredit ors dictate the

    faculty to student ratios.  And then the number of skills labs that

    we have to be able to bring students in to do that hands-on skills.

         However, by increasing our classroom space and our classroom

    technology, it's going to allow our program to expand into outlying

    rural areas.  That will be an opportunity for growth.  It will open

    up the opportunity to place them in clinical sites that are in those

    rural settings that are in need of health care workers, as well, and

    some of those areas are in the rural areas of Pima County, in Santa





    Cruz County, in Nogales and Sells, into those areas.

         Also, I know, Board Member Garcia, you voiced some concern about

    opening up opportunities for students that might work.  So opening up

    morning classes, afternoon classes, evening classes, we polled our

    students a couple of semesters ago and asked what would a good

    schedule look like for you, for those of you who are working and have

    family obligations?  Would you prefer to come to morning, afternoon,

    evening classes, or would you prefer to have us capture you on campus

    less time?

         What we found was the majority of our students in our healthcare

    programs typically work in healthcare, and they are working 12-hour

    shifts.  So what we did for the fall 2020 semester, is we were able

    to bring our students or capture our students, not necessarily bring

    them on campus, but capture them fewer days of the week, which

    allowed them to be able to continue to work and take care of their

    family obligations outside of the classroom and still allowed them

    enough time to be able to study and be successful in the program.

         I will tell you we are aware that these are very, very popular

    programs with the college but also, you know, being a faculty member

    and being close with the students, we are aware that these are

    life-changing programs for the students.

         I will tell you I, along with all the other staff members in

    these programs and faculty members in this program, we are 100%

    committed to running each of our cohorts 100% full.  I say that from

    firsthand knowledge because I want to share with you, I'm a Pima





    graduate, from Pima's nursing program, worked while I went through

    Pima's nursing program, and was able to successfully complete the

    program and come back and then serve as a faculty member teaching

    here at Pima.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Yolanda, thank you for that presentation.

    Can you speak to looking forward, we know that healthcare is one of

    the largest areas of employment opportunities certainly for our

    county and certainly for the state.

         How is Pima College positioned in the marketplace going forward,

    especially with the establishment and the building of, I will get

    this wrong, is it Pima Medical Institute, whatever it is, how are we

    competing in the marketplace, and are we going to be able to capture

    with these new facilities an increased market share of those students

    who want this kind of training?

         >> Yes, Board Member Garcia, I definitely think so.  I definitely

    think one of the areas, and here is a prime example of what we are

    facing, just within nursing alone, this last, our last application

    cycle, September 1 is one of the opportunities where students get a

    chance to apply and come into the program and these are students that

    will start spring of 2021, we had 460 applications for 120 spots, and

    so we turned away a significant number of qualified applicants.

    Unfortunately, and I hate to say this, it's heartbreaking from a

    faculty standpoint, because we know how bad these students want to

    get into healthcare and how hard they have worked to get into these

    programs, but because we didn't have the capacity to take more





    students at the time, we are actually directing those students over

    to Pima Medical Institute and those other institutions where the

    students are incurring a lot of debt to achieve their dreams.

         So moving -- and here is a prime opportunity for us.  COVID

    opened up virtual teaching for us, which is something that we looked

    at for a while.  Now we have been able to increase our classroom

    space.  If we had the capacity to increase our labs, then we would be

    able to bring more students and filter them through those

    laboratories and not turn so many students away where they are

    getting into so much debt.

         And I will tell you firsthand a significant number of students

    come and speak with me, Yolanda, I have applied a number of times to

    get into the program, what can I do?  Because for some populations of

    students, that's not an opportunity for them, and it would not have

    been an opportunity for myself if I had to pay the amount of money

    that I would have to pay to go to a proprietary school.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Thank you very much for that.  I would

    actually suggest, Chancellor Lambert, in five to seven years we are

    going to need to expand this program even further because there is no

    question that the opportunities for jobs in the healthcare market are

    just going to keep increasing exponentially.

         >> DR. DOR�:  Board Member Hay, this renovation will expand our

    physical capacity and our lab capacity.

         You know, I do want to be clear to what Dean Yolanda said, is we

    will need to increase faculty to expand, as well.





         But I do want to say that we are -- and I have visited the PMI

    new facility.  We are in desperate need of new updated facilities.

    But in light of our new instructional model moving forward at our

    campuses, I think that renovating existing space is the most

    efficient use of our funds.  And I think we can accomplish -- for

    those of you who have visited PMI, they have renovated an old school.

         >> BILL WARD:  Exactly.  And I would add, Board Member Hay, what

    President Dore said and Dean Yolanda said, also, too, when we looked

    at this design, whether it be the new building or the expansion of

    the campus, we looked at adding an additional 250 students.  So

    that's what we based our assessments on is for the program to grow to

    250.

         The other thing I think too that Yolanda touched on that we are

    actually exploring now, I talked with the chancellor a lot about it,

    is this virtual clinical space.  Nobody has it.  As that gets harder

    for students to get it, Pima has a great opportunity, as we continue,

    as you stated, to expand this program, because West Campus is a

    massive facility.

         So we have other opportunities to maybe get into some things

    related to this project that are not available right now in our

    community.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  I want to thank you for your presentation.

    It was very thorough, and it answered all my questions.

         >> You're very welcome.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Thank you.





         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  I guess my question is how does the original

    plan, the separate building, compare in number of student capacity

    versus this remodel plan?

         >> BILL WARD:  Well, when we look at the facility, Board Member

    Hanna, when we looked at developing a 75,000 square foot facility, so

    at the end of the day, you would, we would be adding more square

    footage to the college based on a new building, and so the second

    option is to remodel.

         The only issue that relates, for me a big issue related to option

    1, would be if we build a new building, we move everybody there and

    we have all this space we just talked about that most likely will

    need to be remodeled or figure out an additional use.  I think that's

    going to be a decision for you guys to make at the end of the day

    which is best, but it would add, the new building would add an

    additional 75,000 square feet to the campus in general.

         The other option is not going to have that much square footage.

    It will add half of that but not a full building.

         >> DR. DOR�:  But I think overall, Board Member Hanna, we don't

    need -- the district does not need 75,000 additional square feet.

    What we need is an appropriate facility for our health programs.

         >> BILL WARD:  Agreed.  And to tack on to what President Dor�

    said, too, is please remember we are talking about the space that we

    have picked out, we are talking 50-year-old space, and so we would

    still have, we'd have a brand new building and still have to deal

    with a 50-year-old space.





         >> DR. DOR�:  And our challenge at the district is not additional

    square footage.  It's the right kind of spaces for our new learning

    models.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  I don't mean to belabor this, Chairman

    Clinco, I'm just curious on a couple of issues if I could ask two

    more questions?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Of course.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  So, Dean, are your applications in all

    those different fields, what's your area of most interest or the

    highest application rate?  Is it in the certified nurses or

    registered nurses?  Which of those programs is the most popular, if

    you would?

         >> It's the registered nursing program.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  If I understand correctly, Pima College is

    in the absolute best place to be to be training all the future

    registered nurses for the entire Southern Arizona.  University of

    Arizona doesn't do that.  They are dedicated to training the

    trainers, training the professors of nursing, not necessarily

    training the nurses in terms of capacity.  And I think, Chancellor

    Lambert, we have to really make sure in the budget going forward we

    hire enough faculty to teach the registered nurses because you can't

    necessarily teach all this online.

         A lot of this has to be in person.  You can't teach how to put an

    IV line in online.  We have to make sure in the budget going forward

    because the one-time fixed cost is one thing, but increasing the





    faculty to make sure the dean has the faculty she needs to train

    these folks is going to be critical.

         I think we could own this space in Southern Arizona for training

    registered nurses.  And we should.

         >> DR. LEE LAMBERT:  Meredith, to your point, I think it goes

    back to what David was saying earlier too.  Adding this space and the

    way we are planning to do it is balancing both sides of the house.

    We know that more and more of what we need to do is in these applied

    spaces, but do we have the appropriate applied spaces?  Personally

    for nurse programs, programs like nursing, we can do it with the

    existing facilities by remodeling them.

         We could not do that for automotive, couldn't do that for

    machining.  Just given the nature of those kinds of spaces and what

    was needed.  So we had to build new.

         But in this case, we don't have to do that, and we can expand

    capacity.  But your bigger point being our ability to track the

    faculty, that means we are going to have to be committed to

    differential salaries.  Otherwise we will not be able to hang on to

    this level of talent, because nurses have lots of options, and they

    are going to make a lot more than what Pima currently pays.

         So if we're going to own this space, and I agree, I believe this

    is one of the spaces we can own, we've got to be willing to pay, and

    I think we can keep it affordable for the students at the same time.

    That allows us to outcompete PMI, the universities, et cetera.

         But that does mean there will be some things we are not going to





    be able to do in order to do this, so I just want to manage that

    expectation as well

         >> DR. DOR�:  And Board Member Hay, just for your information, we

    built this model into the expansion of the Aviation Technology

    Center, we built into the model the expansion of the faculty, as

    well.  And so we will build the same into the health professions,

    will build the model for expanding the faculty in addition to the

    actual facility.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  I would just remind everybody that Prop

    481 was specifically around expanding the expenditure limitation for

    this very thing.  This is part of the reason that this needed to be

    done.

         The cost of some of these programs exceeds the reimbursement -- I

    mean, that's part of the calculation problem we were running up

    against, just as a reminder to everybody on that, as well.

         Any additional comments from the board?  Okay.  So I would make

    an amendment -- actually, I do have one other comment.

         The building is 50 years old, architecturally significant, I want

    to make sure we bring in preservation specialists to work on this

    team and make sure that's actually part of the design team so that

    we're not negatively impacting the building.

         With that, I would recommend that we approve option 2, which is

    the renovation, which is a significant, over $10 million savings to

    new construction with that small addition of a specialist to look at





    the -- is that okay with the seconders?  Who made the motion?

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Yes.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Before we get to the question, we have a

    procedural -- the seconder was?  Who was the seconder?  Jeff?  Do you

    have a record of that?

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  The question -- I don't remember, who made

    the original motion?  That would be the person who could accept --

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  That was --

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  I accepted, that was me.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Then you're fine from a procedural

    standpoint.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  So then we can continue the discussion.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  You mentioned a preservation person coming

    in.  What would they be -- I guess I don't understand the need for

    that.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Yeah, so I will tell you my thoughts.  The

    building is 50 years old, it's eligible for listing on the National

    Register.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Oh, my God.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  It's something we are pursuing, to make

    sure we don't negatively impact the building.  I think it's important

    to have someone who brings in a little bit of expertise.  It's

    included in the design team.

         >> BILL WARD:  And we are, board members, we are planning on

    doing that as Chairman Clinco stated.  I actually have a meeting with





    the  State of Arizona historic preservation team, because remember,

    we reached our 50-year milestone with Pima Community College, which

    that is West Campus, and so we did submit it for its historical

    assessment, and I will be meeting with them with my architect I think

    in about a week or so.

         So we are actually going to let them know that the college is

    looking at doing this as part of the discussion with them, because

    they are the ones that will approve this or approve the historical

    assessment for the facility and move that forward.

         So, yes, definitely we will have -- and I think the reason Chair

    Clinco brings this up, because you remember we showed you the

    presentation which is attached to the packet, there is some issues

    related to the elevators in those two facilities, because they are,

    they have been grandfathered in all these years, but once we start

    working on them, we will have to upgrade them to today's standards.

         Then there are some areas to where there are some old store

    fronts, we are looking at replacing them and potentially moving them

    out.

         So we will have somebody on board as part of our team.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  I just want to state that I disagree to

    maintain the buildings at, for the preservation of them, okay?  The

    reason I'm saying this I have been through Pima for many years, since

    it first opened, and I can tell you that the Pima College West is not

    what it used to be when it first opened.  It's significantly

    different.  If it's going to incur more cost to the program, then I





    disagree with that.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  I think it represents a cost savings of

    about $11 million because we are renovating.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  No, you're talking just about the

    renovation.  I agree with you on that we should go with renovation.

    But to have to put it like what we have done with the Downtown

    Campus, I disagree with the preservation.

         >> BILL WARD:  Yeah, this is --

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Do what we need to do.

         >> BILL WARD:  This is a different assessment in a sense,

    because, one, you know, the building is, just to give you a history

    about the building, the facility is Brutalism architecture, and if

    the West Campus, the main part which is what is being looked at, is

    16 inches poured reinforced concrete.  It's not like we are going to

    be able to tear anything up or doing anything like that.  It's more

    related to like we said the store fronts and wherever we build the

    elevators.  The majority of the work that's going to happen to the

    facility, it will not, this will not affect that.

         And I do agree with Chairman Clinco, because we are bringing it

    forward, but it's a totally different assessment, Board Member

    Garcia, than what we are looking at for the Downtown Campus.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Okay.  Thank you.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Okay.  So with that, Mr. Silvyn, if you

    could do a roll call vote?

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  I have a question first.  I just want to be





    clear on what we are voting on because I don't have that figure in

    front of me.

         This is the renovation both the East and west sections of West

    Campus with or without -- you had presented something with a sky box,

    going to acquire --

         >> BILL WARD:  We did show the opportunity to potentially build

    something like that, but that would be in the area where the new

    elevator would have to go.  And so that's not something that has to

    happen.

         As you guys know, depending on what option you approve, the

    process will be we will bring in an architect and they will work with

    everybody pretty much on our team to start programming this facility

    and looking at what's going to be and how it's going to flow.

         So we have to provide things for you guys to be able to assess it

    and get an idea of it, but it doesn't necessarily mean that that's

    actually what it's going to look like.  I just have to build

    something in place so I can give this institution a decent estimate.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  So we are just giving a direction tonight?

         >> BILL WARD:  Yes.  Well, I would say what you would be doing is

    approving an option for me to go out or for the college to go out and

    under the chancellor's authority for me to go out and hire an

    architect to start the process.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Thanks.

         >> DR. DOR�:  Bill, to be clear, the board will approve each step

    along the way.





         >> BILL WARD:  Oh, yes.  So how it would work is you'll approve

    this process, it will go forward, we'll do a proposal to select

    architects for this project, depending on what delivery model we use

    for the building or the remodeling of this facility, and then once we

    bring in, actually once we decide who we would recommend that, would

    actually go to the board to approve, so you would have to approve the

    design team before they start working with us.

         And then as they go through that process, depending on like I

    said what delivery method the college uses, whether we do the same

    kind of hybrid model that we did at the Downtown Campus or we look at

    the (indiscernible) model to where you hire the architect and the

    contractor at the same time, but in other words, like Dave is saying,

    everything will go through the board for approval.

         So basically what you're doing, you're approving the project but

    you're approving the first phase, which would be design.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Okay.  Any other -- Mr. Gonzales?

         >> MR. LUIS GONZALES:  Yes.  In hearing the conversation, I

    really think that I like the idea in reference to doing the

    renovation because it's needed, and I like the presentation reference

    to the spaces.

         But what I have a little bit of concerns, now that you're

    mentioning the preservation aspect, coming to the preservation

    aspect, would that deter -- the construction to meet certain

    requirements, maintaining that or that's not going to be quick.  We

    are just looking at the restoration for the facility, correct?





         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Mr. Gonzales, let me just ask what I'm

    asking for.  I just want to make sure we are sensitive in how we

    approach the building and that we are not doing anything that would

    negatively impact this community asset that we are the stewards of.

    That's all.

         In order to do that, you bring in a design team and you have

    architects who can design towers that come out of buildings and they

    can build glass -- I just want to make sure whatever they are doing

    it follows national standards and that it is sensitive to the

    existing building.  That's all.

         You have to be intentional about it or else it doesn't happen.

    I'm just saying for me, that's an important value that I think is

    part of our stewardship of this institution is just to make sure that

    we have some level of responsibility that, as we move forward, these

    things dovetail together thought fully.

         >> BILL WARD:  Also, Board Member Gonzales, one thing to

    remember, too, is, and this is for everybody, the majority of the

    work will be within the facility, not outside.  So just to understand

    that when you look at historic preservation, especially for the West

    Campus, it's based on the architecture, like I said, and -- I mean,

    it would be too expensive for us to start tearing down parts of that

    facility, especially the concrete.

         Like I said, and I totally support what Chair Clinco is stating

    related to it, because we would want somebody at least make sure that

    we weren't removing something that had some value to it.





         But I do not foresee any major issues related to that

    recommendation.

         >> MR. LUIS GONZALES:  Okay.  Like I mentioned, I do like the

    plan No. 2, which is renovation.  Let me ask the question, who

    initiated this process in reference to the historic preservation?

         >> BILL WARD:  I did.

         >> MR. LUIS GONZALES:  Okay.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Ms. Garcia, did you say something?  I just

    want to get clarification.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  No, I figured it was you, David, Chairman,

    that requested that.  That's all.

         >> BILL WARD:  No, I --

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  If I could ask a question, Bill, Chairman

    Clinco, to Bill?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Yes, Dr. Hay.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Bill, if I understand it correctly, every

    time the University of Arizona renovates a building, take chemistry

    as an example, which has been under renovation for the last 20 years,

    I mean, we always take into account the historical context of when a

    building was built.  And in the University of Arizona it was built

    hundred years ago, but you always want to make sure it doesn't get

    out of context of the original design of the building.

         This is pretty standard for state and county buildings is that

    you just make sure that it's consistent with the original intent of

    the architecture at the time.  And sometimes it expands and I don't





    know the right architectural terms, speaks to the new design, but I

    think it's very consistent with state buildings and publicly owned

    buildings is that you always bring in some historical context to the

    original building to make sure there is some consistency across time.

         >> BILL WARD:  Agreed.  And then the other thing to let the board

    know too is when the college went through its last bond in the late

    '90s and when we went in and renovated all these facilities during

    that bond there was a lot of work that was done at the West Campus

    too.  So as you walk up the back side of where the, the area closest

    to the gym and you go up, and you see that part, that was all redone

    as part of the bond.

         It's not like we haven't done this before to that facility.  I've

    been here too long.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Okay.  Mr. Silvyn, do you want to call the

    roll call vote, please?

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Certainly.  Mr. Clinco?

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Yes.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Dr. Hay?

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Yes.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Mr. Hanna?

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Yes.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Ms. Garcia?

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Yes.

         >> MR. JEFF SILVYN:  Mr. Gonzales?

         >> MR. LUIS GONZALES:  If it's for option 2, yes.





         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  The motion passes unanimously.

         >> BILL WARD:  Mark, it's been a pleasure working with you.  We

    met seven years ago, one thing I wanted to always say to you, is I

    have always put all my questions together because I knew you'd always

    have a lot of questions.

         I just wanted to, when I come to the board, I'm always prepared

    the best I can for you.  I'm gonna miss you.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Thanks, Bill.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Okay.

         Next is a request for future agenda items.

         Okay.  I just want to quickly -- Ms. Garcia?

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Sorry.  I don't know if this is the right

    place to do it, but I'd like to make a motion.  I'd like to request

    training or parliamentary procedures and board policies that pertain

    to the Robert Rules of Order.  I'd like the training to be provided

    by an expert in parliamentary procedures, and I would like to exclude

    Jeff or Susan Segal from being part of that.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Okay.  I think that ties nicely into just

    a reminder that on the 16th we have a study session with a number of

    outside experts, including the Higher Learning Commission liaison,

    the ACCT facilitator who we worked with in the past, Pam Fisher, who

    has led some of our retreats, and also an ombudsman to talk about

    various aspects of board responsibility.

         As long as there is no concerns, we are going to invite Cat

    Ripley to attend.  That will begin to at least address that and then





    I think as part of that we can identify a series of steps in

    additional board training.

         I know, I just want to say, you know, COVID makes it difficult.

    Traditionally we would go to the ACCT conference, we would

    participate in different types of trainings, be able to bring in

    people to sit around the table.  This is a slightly more complex

    situation because we are all just sitting in our living rooms in

    front of our computers.

         This is really the first effort to sort of do annual board

    training, also an opportunity to get our new board member some of

    that initial training, as well.

         And then I hope to work with everybody to help identify the plan

    of how we're going to create a more robust board training to deal

    with issues about parliamentary procedure that we can bring in

    additional experts and maybe have individual guidance, as well.

    Doesn't necessarily have to be in the group setting, can be if

    individuals want one-on-one training we can try and identify and

    arrange that in a variety of different areas.

         If that sounds okay, we already have the meeting scheduled for

    the 16th, but I just want to put that out there that's the intent of

    that meeting is to sort of start to do the very thing you're talking

    about.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Thank you.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  I would like to request that Mr. Hanna

    attend the call to audience next year and make sure he holds our feet





    to the fire.  (Laughter.)

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  That sounds great.

         Mark, we'd love to have you back, especially at some of these

    upcoming ribbon cuttings for these projects that you've been so

    instrumental in shepherding and ensuring they get completed on time.

    It would not be the same without you there, to recognize your

    contributions.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Thanks.  I plan on it.  Thanks.

         >> MR. DEMION CLINCO:  Thank you very much.  With that, we are

    adjourned.  Thank you.

         >> DR. MEREDITH HAY:  Bye, Mark.  We love you.

         >> MR. MARK HANNA:  Bye.

         >> MS. MARIA GARCIA:  Bye.

         (Adjournment.)
