Study Central has been identified as a model program for Pima College in Arizona as well as the California Community College Chancellor’s Office for the recommendations of the Student Success Task Force.

Discussion occurred.

e. 2010-11 Audit Report Vice President Brewington introduced Bryce Gibbs from Matson and Isom. Bryce reviewed the three main areas of focus which are financial statements, federal awards, and state awards. Under financial statements, no material weaknesses were identified, no significant deficiencies were identified, and no noncompliance material to financial statements were noted. Under federal awards no material weaknesses were identified, no significant deficiencies were identified, no findings disclosed relative to major federal award programs, and we are determined to be a low-risk auditee. Under state awards no material weaknesses were identified. There was a significant deficiency identified not considered to be a material weakness which issued a qualified report. The Chancellor’s Office prescribed programs late in the year so that caused many Districts to have findings in this area. We addressed the FTES issue and it did not impact the financial statement. Matson and Isom are lobbying to have Districts go back two or three years to collect data, not seven, to get a baseline for FTES. The basis for this is that

Page 4

the Chancellor’s Office would not get money back due to most Districts being underfunded to begin with for their FTES. The Bond reports came back with an unqualified report and no findings.

d. Banking Services Agreement Vice President Brewington stated the fiscal services staff has been looking at improving banking services for the District. Request for Proposals went out about six months ago and eight proposals were received. Banking institutions were interviewed and staff recommends Farmers & Merchant Bank. They recommend this institution because they have many service enhancements that we don’t have with our current bank, they have exceptional rates, are locally managed, have a strong financial record nationally, superior customer service, and after-market services. Mike Garcia and Chris Winek from Farmers & Merchant Bank were introduced. They will head up the transition process. They expressed their appreciation for this opportunity and look forward to working with the District.

MSC (Braxton/McCabe) to approve the sabbatical leave application of Professor Jonae Pistoresi. The student advisory vote was aye.

g. Approval of the Issuance and Sale of Revenue General Obligation Bonds for SFID #1 Refinancing Vice President Brewington said this item relates to the bonds in Measure H. The District is proposing to sell the 2011 general obligation refunding bonds. The purpose of the refunding bonds is to refinance the District’s outstanding series 2003 general obligation bonds. The refunding bonds will not result in any costs to the District or the District’s taxpayers. The Bond Committee met

Page 6

to review the two underwriter proposals and unanimously selected Piper Jaffray. She introduced Ivory Li from Piper Jaffray.

Ivory stated this refinancing would allow the District to go from a high interest rate to a lower interest rate which provides money savings for local taxpayers. This would not extend the length of the loan. It is estimated there will be a savings of $860,000 to $1,100,000 MSC (Haden/Braxton) to approve the resolution authorizing the issuance of Merced Community College District 2011 general obligation refunding bonds.

Several other working groups are being formed to address Recommendation 8, related to Human Resources.

There will be significant time devoted over the next few months to review and revision where needed our governance structures and processes, further

Page 8

integration of our planning processes, and final approval of our Code of Ethics. The follow up report writing team has been finalized, which will include several faculty lead writers. With the assistance of Dr. Lee, a report writing format has been developed. A “skeleton” draft will be reviewed by the writing team prior to the end of the semester, and then spending the holiday break working on a second draft.

Other anticipated timelines include submitting “nearly final” drafts to Robin Shepard for additional editing, circulating the draft to the campus community during mid-February, with anticipated approval by the Academic Senate on February 23, 2012. The final draft will be presented to the Board of Trustees on March 6, 2012.

Other significant activities include training by Dr. Lee about the roles and responsibilities of the College Council. He also will be providing expertise training committee members who belong to other groups.

Item: Resolution to Establish Nonresident Tuition Fee Per Unit For Fiscal Year 2012-13 Presented By: Mazie L. Brewington For: Information Action X Background Information Provisions of Education Code 76140, as amended by AB 2825, Chapter 789/80, requires each governing board to establish the nonresident tuition fees not later than February 1 for the succeeding fiscal year. The State mandates that a nonresident tuition fee adopted by Boards of Trustees will be equal to the amount, which was expended by the District for the expense of education or the statewide average. The District has the option of selecting the statewide average, the District average cost, the District average cost with 10% or more noncredit FTES, using the cost of a contiguous District, no more than District average cost; no less than statewide average cost, highest years statewide average tuition, or no more than 12 comparable states average tuition when setting its nonresident tuition fee. The contiguous District’s for Merced are the Yosemite and State Center community college District’s. For the past two years, the District established its nonresident tuition rate using the contiguous District option, in order to be competitive in the recruitment of nonresident and foreign students. Whereas the District wishes to remain competitive with the other District’s, the Administration is recommending using the contiguous District option which will establish the rate of $208 per unit for the 2012-13 fiscal year. Recommendation/Requested Action It is recommended that the Board of Trustees establish the nonresident tuition fee for 2012-13 at $208 per unit and adopt the attached Resolution.

Background Information

Pursuant to Education Code Section 15278, the District established the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee at a Board of Trustees Meeting held on February 4, 2003, in order to satisfy the accountability requirements of Proposition 39.

Item: Tentative Agreement with MCFA __ Presented By: Benjamin T. Duran _____ For: Information Action __X___ Background Information The District and MCFA have completed negotiations for the period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2012. Attached is a Tentative Agreement, which is a result of those negotiations. The Tentative Agreement provides for language changes and updates to Article II, Recognition, Article IV, Professional Dues and Payroll Deductions, Article VI, Fringe Benefits, Article IX, Evaluation and Tenure, Article XI, Salaries, Article XIV, Faculty Lead, Article XX, Distance Education and Article XXI, Intellectual Property.

BOARD AGENDA BACKUP


AT THE JANUARY 17, 2012 MEETING OF THE BOARD Item: Changes in course enrollment and priority registration Presented by: Anne Newins, Sharon Reinhardt, Sherry Elms X For Information For Action Background Information Over the past six months, there have been a number of significant federal, state, and local changes that will affect student registration. The overall intention of these changes is to create additional accountability on the part of students and institutions and to save money. The presentation to the Board will focus on several of the most significant changes. Federal Financial Aid:

• Students will receive aid no more than twice for courses for which they received passing grades. It is important to note that a “D” is considered passing by financial aid standards. This is likely to affect students in classes such as math, where they often need multiple attempts to bring their grades up to a C. It also will prevent them from receiving aid for classes that allow more than two repeats. This regulation was enforced beginning this December.

• Students will not be able to receive Pell grants for more than twelve full time semesters, a reduction from the current eighteen. The twelve semester limit applies to all work through a bachelor’s degree. It is retroactive to the beginning of the Pell grant program, which started over almost forty years ago. It is unknown at this time how far back they will/can go to review a student’s records. This could have a significant impact on returning students who are seeking retraining.

• Students will not receive aid for courses that are not part of their education plan. This means that they will need to seek much more assistance from counselors to ensure which courses are applicable. One reason that this currently is a challenge is because of the reduction in course sections in combination with increased demand, students are struggling to find a full time course load. This

Page 64

search for sections sometimes results in their signing up for any class that they can find, instead of those that are part of their educational program.

• The issue of filling their class load to at least 12 units causes consternation on the part of parents. Many parents need their children to be full time students in order to continue carrying them on their insurance plans.

State: • Effective Summer, 2012, students will be allowed to enroll in classes for a

maximum of three times. “Enrollment” includes all notations on a transcript including “W’s,” Pass/No Pass, and grades. It is anticipated that this is going to affect a large number of students, who often withdraw from classes in lieu of failing them. This regulation applies to all students, and is retroactive to the time of initial enrollment. The unit count is by institution and may result in students seeking to repeat classes at other colleges.

Local:

• A subcommittee of the Academic Senate met throughout the Fall 2011 semester to review our current student priority registration policy. There has been recognition statewide that allowing students with excess numbers of units to have first choice of classes is preventing other students with fewer units, but making steady progress, from enrolling in classes. Effective Summer 2012, students who have enrolled in 110 units or more will become part of the first time student group. The number of units might seem large to many, but it will allow students who have had to take a number of developmental courses or Allied Health program prerequisites to maintain a high level of priority. A copy of the new priority registration groups is attached to this report.

Impact on Students: It is hoped that this will be a transitional period, and that new students will recognize the necessity for better planning and completion of courses. Students will have the right to petition decisions, but the type of exceptions that will be approved are limited to documentable events such as catastrophic illness or military duty. An information campaign has been underway with students since last fall. The latest financial aid changes were approved by Congress shortly before the Christmas break. All financial aid students who are affected for Spring 2012 are being notified individually. Presentations will be made to various college constituencies, and will be posted on the college website and in hard copy. Unfortunately, the Financial Aid staff has been informed that they can expect additional and more frequent federal financial aid regulatory changes during the coming years. This will pose a challenge in terms of implementation and provision of current information to students.

Page 65

As a point of interest, approximately $25 million will be distributed in 2011-2012 to 8,000 students. Impact on College Staff: It is anticipated that these changes will affect many areas of campus. The Office of Instruction is reviewing what impact there might be on course enrollments. The Office of Technology and Institutional Research will need to make a number of programming changes in order to track and control enrollments. The workload for student services will be impacted, with significant effects on Financial Aid, Counseling, and Admissions and Records.
