Agenda Item / Summary of Discussion / Action (If Required) / Completion Timeline / Assigned to:Veteran’s Center / Lauri Moore presented her ideas of having a Veteran’s Center at the Southwest end, where the Foundation previously had its offices. She explained that the veterans have some of the uniqueness of a special needs student. Some need quiet and prefer being on the perimeter of campus. Some smoke and there would be easy access to the street. EAC would like to dedicate it by the end of semester. Patty feels most of the improvements needed are cosmetic. Jay is going to replace front door. Patty Mazuka would be housed there along with counselors and student workers. Lori and Patty will visit other sites that offer similar services.
Tim Harrison suggested that there should be a long term plan for the CSC. Linda Resendiz commented that we needed another conference room. Dave Keebler said we have had a plan for ASVC to use the building. CalWORKS moved in. Dave recommends developing a master plan for CSC. He cannot guarantee that the Veteran’s Center can stay there permanently but approves them using it and if it’s not in the master plan, we will find another place.
Steve Palladino moved to have the Veteran’s Center at the southwest end of CSC and Tim seconded the motion. All approved.
Jay mentioned that there will be a parking lot but it is not ADA compliant from that direction. We should designate a handicap parking spot.
Lauri Moore said the Vets would be happy to help set up the Center.Jay asked Lauri to identify the furniture to keep and make a list of what they need. Dave asked them to keep in touch with Jay. / Clean up and select furniture / Spring/Summer, 2014 / Jay Moore
