Absent: Michael Murphy

III. GENERAL DISCUSSION OF MATTERS RELATING TO THE SHORT- AND LONG-TERM FUTURE OF THE COLLEGE

Kam Sanghvi, Chief Information Officer, provided an overview of the Strategic Technology Priorities and Goals for FY2016-2019. He reviewed the process used to develop the priorities and goals and how they align with the college’s

overall strategic plan. The priorities and goals are also intended to improve communication and assign priorities to utilize resources more efficiently. He provided information on a life cycle plan for the college’s technology inventory and shared a proposal for a $3 increase in the per-credit-hour technology fee. This will help establish a continuing fund balance to ensure that campus technology, including computer equipment, servers, and wireless networks, continues to be current to support instruction and college functions. After some discussion, there was general agreement to proceed with this technology fee proposal for approval at the March Board meeting. Bob Sterkowitz, Chief Financial Officer, shared information on the college’s

operating budget, including the current budget, budget assumptions, and projected operating budget scenarios through FY2020. There was discussion about the state budget and how it impacts the college and budget planning. Bob reported that the college is financially sound and will continue to make financial decisions based on continuing to provide an affordable education to its students.

Minutes of the Special Meeting of February 13, 2016 Page 2

Dr. Pamela Haney, Vice President of Academic Affairs, shared information with the Board about how other colleges determine their fees for courses and whether those colleges have differential tuition for programs. She explained the college’s process to ensure that course fees cover the costs of offering programs through a continuous review and comparison of all course fees and actual costs for programs. There was agreement by the Board to continue this practice. Dominick Demonica, of Demonica Kemper Architects, provided a presentation and report on the college’s Facilities Master Plan, which is required to be filed with the state at five-year intervals. The Facilities Master Plan anticipates future growth of the college and its campus and outlines proposed planning to meet those needs. It was clarified that the Board’s approval of the Facilities Master Plan is a requirement of the college but it does not obligate the college to any of the projects that are included in the plan. The recommendation for approval of the plan will come to the March Board meeting. Board members discussed the calendar of Board meetings and will be provided a listing of monthly Board meeting activities and requirements for action items. Currently, there is no Board meeting held in January or July, and the Board was asked to review the list in advance of setting a calendar of Board meetings for FY2017, which will take place in June.

V. BOARD REPORTS AND/OR REQUESTS

Minutes of the Regular Meeting of February 17, 2016 Page 2

5.1 Student Trustee Report

Mr. Awwad reported that the Illinois Community College Board Student Advisory Committee (ICCB/SAC) met on January 16 and hosted Moraine Valley Police Chief Pat O’Connor to talk about campus safety and security.

The college’s Forensics/Speech Team took third place in a speech tournament held January 23 at College of DuPage. The tournament included four-year universities. On February 9, gift certificates from the Lions Club were given to 64 Moraine Valley students for free eye exams and glasses, a service these students might not otherwise have been able to access. On February 10, the Business, Finance and Entrepreneur Club hosted a speaker on the topic of insurance and stock market principles. Mr. Awwad also reported that there has been a student campaign regarding the state budget and MAP funding. Various activities, including Twitter Tuesday, Website Wednesday, Telephone Thursday, Facebook Friday, and #MAP Matters were held to give students a voice about the state budget and MAP grants.

VI. REPORTS OF ADMINISTRATION 6.1 President’s Report

Dr. Jenkins thanked Trustee John Coleman and Dr. Normah Salleh-Barone for the collaborative effort that helped to make the Lions Club glasses program available to the college’s students. � Insight Into Diversity 2015 HEED Award – For the fourth year in a row,

the college received the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award by Insight into Diversity magazine. This award recognizes exemplary diversity and inclusion initiatives. Charmaine Sevier, Manager of Diversity and Employment, was recognized for the work that allowed the college to receive this award. A photo was taken with Chairman Murphy, Charmaine, and Andy Duren, Vice President of Administrative Services.

� Tobacco-Free College Champion Award Plaque – Dr. Jenkins shared with the Board the plaque received from the Truth Initiative in recognition of the college’s establishment of a 100% tobacco-free policy.

� Dr. Jenkins also reported on recognition as a Gold Fit-Friendly Worksite from the American Heart Association, a recognition that the college has received for several years in a row.

� Nil Shah, Assistant Director of Institutional Research and Planning, provided an enrollment report, indicating that enrollments have improved

8


over last year. Last spring, enrollment was down by nine percent in headcount and five percent in credit hours. This spring, enrollment is relatively flat in credit hours and up by two percent in headcount. This means that there are more students, but they are taking fewer hours. More students are attending on a part-time basis compared to last spring. Enrollments statewide are down by an average of 3.6 percent. He reported that there has been an increase in transfer students (up five percent) and a decrease in occupational/career students (down four percent). Enrollments at Blue Island and Southwest Education Center have declined slightly and marketing efforts are being ramped up to address this. Online and hybrid courses continue an upward trend over a five-year period. Headcounts in dual credit courses also showed an increase over last spring.

Dr. Jenkins reported that, to date, no funds have been received from the state for the FY2016 budget. The governor’s higher education recommendation

for FY2017 indicates a 20 percent reduction in base operating grants but includes more money in a line item for performance-based funding. Mr. Murphy pointed out that state universities may get a 31 percent reduction in funding. Dr. Jenkins reported that the college will receive a second fire truck donation. Both donations are greatly appreciated. The college will need to spend some money to build a structure to protect the fire trucks and equipment, but the trucks and their equipment are much more current and relevant and will help keep the college’s public service programs up to date. Dr. Jenkins indicated that she will keep the trustees informed regarding a dedication to be held when the weather is warmer. Dr. Jenkins reported that Juan Salgado, alumni and MacArthur Fellow, was on campus today for a library event. She thanked Troy Swanson and Terra Jacobson for inviting him and hosting this event. She concluded by reporting that Mr. Salgado will be honored as an Outstanding Alumni at the American Association of Community College’s (AACC) annual conference in April, which will be in Chicago. Dr. Jenkins will be attending the conference and the awards ceremony.

RESOLUTION OF OBSERVANCE OF ARBOR DAY

Whereas, in 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees; and Whereas, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than one million trees in Nebraska; and Whereas, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world; and Whereas, trees reduce the erosion of our topsoil caused by wind and water, lower heating and cooling costs, protect us from harsh, cold winter winds and hot summer sun, clean the air we breathe, produce oxygen while reducing ozone, and provide habitat for wildlife; and Whereas, Moraine Valley Community College continues to make a strong effort to beautify its campus and thereby enhance the community; and Whereas, trees are a renewable resource, giving us paper, wood products for our homes, fuel for fires, and many other biodegradable products; and Whereas, trees in our community increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of the business areas, beautify our community; and Whereas, trees are in the very roots of our history and are a source of joy and spiritual renewal; and Whereas, Moraine Valley Community College has received the Palos Hills Beautification Award in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 , 2014, and 2015; Whereas, Moraine Valley Community College was designated on January 21, 2010 as a Tree Campus USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation and has, therefore, joined other selected communities in the United States by demonstrating vigorous accomplishments in urban forestry; and Now, therefore, be it Resolved that the Board of Trustees of Moraine Valley Community College declares that April 29th, 2016, shall be observed as Arbor Day on campus and urges all students, faculty, and staff to support efforts to improve and protect trees and woodlands and to support Moraine Valley’s urban forestry program, and the Board urges all citizens to lift their hearts and promote the well being of present and future generations.

DATE: April 5, 2016 TO: Andrew Duren Vice President of Administrative Services Kamlesh Sanghvi Chief Information Officer FROM: Jane M. Bentley Director of Purchasing Sue Gray Director of Infrastructure and Network Services RE: Wireless Network Hardware Upgrade Information Technology performed an in depth analysis on the needs of the wireless network for the college. As the college continues to grow, so does the demand on the wireless network. The original wireless Meru network was installed in 2008/2009. The intended purpose was to provide wireless access to students, with a concentration on common areas. The initial use of the wireless was under 100 unique devices a week. Today, the college community brings multiple technology devices to campus, all of which connect to the college’s wireless network, with as many as 3000 connections at

one time. As the use of technology based learning increases, the need to provide access within classrooms, as well as common areas, has also increased. The nursing department, automotive department, and the FPAC box office, to name a few, all rely on the availability of the wireless network to perform day to day responsibilities. There is an expectation that wireless access will be available in all areas of the college, as well as in the quad area and out to the parking lots. The current Meru Technology has reached end of life. The most current technology is 802.11 ac – wave 2. After researching and analyzing the major players in the wireless space, it has been determined that the college should replace its existing wireless access points with the Aerohive technology. This technology provides the most current wireless technology available on the market today. The college will leverage existing cabling where possible, and add additional cabling, where needed, in order to provide the coverage and performance required to fulfill the needs of the students, faculty, and staff for the next 5 to 7 years. The college obtained proposals from three (3) vendors in the wireless technology industry: AmeriNet, Continental Resources, and Zones, Inc.

46

As our partnership with AmeriNet has developed over the years, Moraine Valley has been able to provide state-of-the-art technology and standardized equipment to faculty, staff and students. AmeriNet has established a partnership with Moraine, which has fostered a dedicated vision specific to the changing and growing needs of higher education. AmeriNet, will provide the hardware equipment for the wireless project. The total cost of the solution for equipment, support and five (5) years of maintenance is $361,730.00. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Whereas AmeriNet, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, is an authorized strategic partner with Moraine Valley, it is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve and authorize the issuance of a purchase order in the amount of $ 390,492.54 for the hardware portion of the Wireless Implementation.
