Strategic Planning No report. Out of State Tuition Charged to Occupational Entities Presidents Council discussed the complicated issue of charging out-of-state tuition to state agencies such as Department of Employment, Department of Training and Rehab, VocRehab, Job Opportunities in Nevada, Nevada Works, Nevada Youth Training Center, Welfare, and Youth Parole. Dr. Elliott stated that the issue has been discussed several times in the past. 鶹ӰԺ is expected to generate at least $25,000 in non-residence tuition as part of our budget. Ms. Mahlberg stated that the issue of residency would be discussed at the next Student Affairs Council, and she suggested that the item be deferred until after that meeting. Item will be brought back to Presidents Council on January 20, 2004. HigherEdJobs.com Results Dr. Elliott provided a tracking record of the number of hits each position being advertised through HigherEdJobs.com has received. A meeting will be held this week with the Social Science Department to discuss the sociology/criminal justice position. Dr. Killpatrick would also like to see an advertisement placed in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Staff Computer Loan Policy Mr. Carl Diekhans explained the computer loan policy. 鶹ӰԺs current policy allows for a full-time employee to borrow up to $2,400 to purchase a computer, printer, and software. The loan must be paid back in two years. The computer loan program has been proven to be successful and is considered a nice benefit. One suggested change to the policy is that an employee should be allowed to purchase two computers if they desire, so long as the loan amount remains at or below $2,400. Mr. Diekhans will prepare a proposal of the Computer Loan Policy with this change to present to Administrative Council and Faculty Senate for their approval. FICA Issues Mr. Diekhans informed Presidents Council that the state of Nevada will no longer be paying FICA (social security) for the part-time employees beginning in January, 2004. For part-time employees working for the U.C.C.S.N., this change will begin after the next fiscal year (July, 2005), since we have already been funded. An official notification will probably come from the Board of Regents. An alternate retirement plan will be offered to the part-time employees. Radio Equipment and Space Mr. Diekhans reported that 鶹ӰԺ now has some good radio equipment which was donated to the college for the purpose of setting up a broadcast studio. We will have to find a space for the studio. It would take approximately $6,000 - $10,000 to remodel a space for the studio. Ms. Ehrmann indicated that the Foundation will see if any donors would be interested in funding this type of project. 鶹ӰԺ receives $3,000 per year for operating costs, and uses an additional $3,000 in our own money for operating costs. Mr. Diekhans requested permission to purchase a battery backup (estimated cost is $1,200) to eliminate loss time from power outages. Presidents Council approved the purchase of the battery backup. Presidents Council recommended the item be put on the Administrative Councils agenda. Room Utilization Report Mr. Diekhans reported that 鶹ӰԺs room utilization report is done every two years and has always been good. However, our classroom usage has fallen this year due to more classes with smaller enrollments. The current preliminary figures are 57% usage in the morning, 38% usage in the afternoon, and 73% usage in the evening. Lab usage has increased to 147% utilization in the morning, 109% in the afternoon, and 93% in the evening. A room is considered full if two-thirds of the seats are filled. Mr. Diekhans stated that the high utilization rate for the labs is good backup for 鶹ӰԺs request for an electrical lab building. The room utilization report is due to the system on December 31, 2003. Taste of Elko Mr. Danny Gonzales reported that the Taste of Elko has been rescheduled for March 20, 2004 to coincide with the 鶹ӰԺ Theater Production of West Side Story. The event is expected to bring in $12,000 for scholarships to be awarded by Rotary International and 鶹ӰԺ, the co-sponsors of the event. Last years event generated $7,000 for scholarships. Presidents Council suggested that Rotary take out a blanket insurance policy for all of the vendors since they are co-sponsoring the event. Miscellaneous Mr. Gonzales has been working on the professional development calendar. He stated that a central focus this spring would be assessment, and in-service activities would be spread out during the semester. Dr. Killpatrick announced that the grand re-opening of the bookstore would be December 3, 2003. Presidents Council recommended that the Vagina Monologues be presented on campus. The 鶹ӰԺ Memorial Committee will have oversight of the production. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has expressed interest in having their fundraising event on campus in the fitness center. Presidents Council denied the request. Presidents Council feels that the campus should not be used for fundraising by other non-profit organizations not in financial partnership with the 鶹ӰԺ Foundation. Dr. Elliott announced that the Elko County School District has received a $54,000 grant from the Nevada Department of Education for the Agriculture program. As part of the grant, the School District will work with 鶹ӰԺ, Elko County Fair Board, and NYTC. She reported that our program is getting a great deal of attention throughout the state, thanks to Mr. Gary Sundseth. She reported that students have already formed an Aggie club. Mr. Diekhans reported that the budget hearings are scheduled or January 6, 2004, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. The Chancellor will be hearing our requests for new programs and capital projects. Ms. Mahlberg reported that the U.C.C.S.N. has received the Luminas College Goal Sunday planning grant for $7,500, which 鶹ӰԺ spearheaded. Representatives will be visiting other College Goal Sunday sites to garnish more information for the final proposal. Ms. Ehrmann reported that the ABE/ESL department has approached the Foundation to help procure a building in Winnemucca to use for the ESL program. The Foundation will be working on this request. Ms. Ehrmann once again reminded everyone that 鶹ӰԺ policy states all donations received by the college must go through the Foundation, so that they can coordinate publicity and properly acknowledge 鶹ӰԺs donors. Presidents Council supports this 鶹ӰԺ policy.
