Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board Minutes
September 17, 2014
A Budget and Finance Retreat of the Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board was scheduled to be held beginning at 8:00 a.m. at the Rio Salado College Conference Center, 2323 West 14th Street, Tempe, Arizona, pursuant to A.R.S. Section 38-431.02, notice having been duly given. GOVERNING BOARD
• Dana Saar, President • Randolph Lumm, Secretary • Doyle Burke, Member • Alfredo Gutierrez, Member • Debra Pearson, Member (Absent)
ADMINISTRATION Rufus Glasper LaCoya Shelton-Johnson Debra Thompson Lee Combs Linda Lujan Ernie Lara Steven Gonzales Irene Kovala Shouan Pan Paul Dale Anna Solley Chris Bustamante Daniel Corr for Jan Gehler Shari Olson Gene Giovannini
BUDGET & FINANCE RETREAT The retreat began at 8:01 a.m. Board Member Alfredo Gutierrez, Chair of the Board’s
Budget and Finance Committee, gave a brief introduction. The day represented the Board’s first hearing about the FY2015-16 budget and represented part of an ongoing process. He said that the budget is the most important policy document the Board will take up this year.
CHANCELLOR OVERVIEW Chancellor Rufus Glasper reiterated that this was an opportunity for the first read of the budget and the first time the budget process would involve a Board committee. The intent was to lay out the framework that MCCCD will use to move forward. A copy of the full presentation is included in the appendix of these minutes.
Dr. Glasper remarked the budget process allows for review and presentation and budget impacts are presented to the Board. Budgeting is an iterative process which enables the Governing Board to redirect and focus activity by means of initial allocation or reallocation of financial resources. On this basis, the budget sets policy for the following year.
At a recent NACUBO presentation, the roles of the budget were defined as: a mechanism for setting priorities, an institutional plan of action, an institutional contract, a control mechanism, a gauge of risk, an instrument of communication, and a political device. The budget also reflects a systemic alignment between the Strategic Plan 2013-2016, the Financial Plan 2016-2024, and the Annual Budget for 2014-2015. It is also aligned with other planning efforts and local strategic plans. It is the link between strategic plans and year-end reporting.
All budget planning is based on the Board’s Vision, Mission, and Values. Administration needs the Board’s assurance that the Board is tied to the mission as it stands today.
There are different types of approaches to the budget: incremental budgeting and decremental budgeting. The largest component of the budget (80-85%) is for compensation. In response to the national and state financial crisis and shifts in enrollment distribution, the composition of faculty shifted to rely more heavily on adjuncts and an increased use of temporary and part-time workers. As budgets were

Minutes | September 17, 2014 Budget and Finance Retreat Page 2 of 12
cut, MCCCD was able to maintain its financial condition due to increased efficiency and effectiveness. The budget is flexible and considers retrenchment, reallocation, pre-exigency planning, contingency, and reserves. System-level initiatives also must be kept in consideration (i.e., ONE Maricopa, Seamless Student Experience, Completion Agenda, Maricopa Priorities, IMOR2, Developmental Education, Student Success Initiatives, and Performance-Based Funding). Maricopa was recently cited in the Hechniger Report as trying a full slate of innovations, all at once. “If higher education is moving slowly toward the future, the Maricopa Community Colleges District is racing at high speed. Some of the innovations being tried by the district, which has nearly a quarter of a million credit seeking students in all 10 separate colleges in greater Phoenix, are controversial and unproven. And most are not unique; other community colleges and some four year universities are nibbling at them here and there. But few places are throwing so many reforms at the problems of higher education all at the same time.”
Planning strategies for MCCCD include: Maricopa Priorities, regional centers of excellence, vacancy savings, privatization of college services, increased enrollments, internal performance-based funding allocations and the notion of equity, external performance-based funding, Expenditure Limitation Amendments, and the results from a proposed Elasticity of Demand Study – Tuition.
EXTERNAL LANDSCAPE Ms. Dawn Wallace, Director of State and Local Government Relations, provided a brief overview of expected legislative support for the District. Ms. Wallace remarked that the State is posting deficits into 2016. In the early part of October the Financial Advisory Committee will come together to guide the legislature and Governor’s Office on the economic outlook for Arizona. After October 7, adjustments in revenue forecasts will be seen. This will affect MCCCD in multiple ways. Maricopa should see its funding as mandated by statute (~$7M). After the November elections MCCCD will know who the new governor and chamber leaders will be and can develop relationships with them. The District will ask for everything mandated by state statute, identify projects within the system that relate to workforce development and completion, and begin discussions on performance-based funding and tying them to specific outcomes. The plan is to tell the legislature what MCCCD wants to do/be in the future rather than have the legislature tell MCCCD what it should do/be.
Discussion ensured on the possibility of changing or eliminating the expenditure limitations. Ms. Wallace remarked it would be unlikely unless all local, county, and state agencies and political subdivisions could convince the legislature each can self-regulate. A Board member remarked it was unrealistic to expect the limitations to be removed and said that Maricopa needs to think creatively on how to legally circumvent the restrictions. Finding legal instruments available to protect funds will be part of the budget discussion.
TRENDS AND FUTURE Ms. Debra Thompson, Vice Chancellor for Business Services, presented historical trends and future planning. Since the 2008 recession, the District has lost over $60M annually in State aid, property taxes from new construction dropped from $18M per year to $6M, and MCCCD approved tuition and tax increases in four of seven years. MCCCD made $35M in operational budget cuts and $11M in capital cuts (state aid); limited salary adjustments; and limited new programs, services, faculty, and staff. While MCCCD struggled with the decrease of financial resources it had to respond to an increased number of students as enrollment went up across the board.
Between FY2007-08 and FY2014-15, the General Operating Fund (Fund 1) grew from $555.3M to $774.1M—this was an increase of $218.8m or 39%. The $218.8m increase was split between ongoing resources available for ongoing general allocation and one-time allocations of one-time carryforward and transfers. Any additional dollars that Maricopa had been able to get from the State was targeted and had to be used for specific purposes. Since the recession ended, property taxes from new construction increased to $9M per year, tuition and tax increases were partially used

for initiatives and priorities instead of backfilling for revenue losses or slow revenues (i.e., 60/40, SSE, SSI, Public Safety, Faculty Inversion, IT Enhancements), and the 2004 bond implementation continues but will be complete in two to three years.
Challenges facing the district include: limited growth in property taxes from new construction, State budget issues (can MCCCD count on receiving $1.4M in State aid and/or $7.4M in base allocation), unrealistic to expect that tax and tuition increases will be approved every year, large dollar needs for identified initiatives and priorities (eg., 60/40, SSE, IT Enhancements, possibly Maricopa Priorities, possibly Classification and Compensation, others). Opportunities for Maricopa include: Maricopa Priorities may yield some resources to reallocate within colleges, the District Office, and across the system; continue efforts to build reputation and information about needs with the State to leverage when funds are available; seek relief from legal impediments that do not cost the State anything; Maricopa Corporate College—3rd revenue stream; enhanced focus on prioritization of most critical needs; use of college balances to help with Life Without the Bond; and restart planning for a future bond.
Discussion ensued regarding the Board’s role in prioritizing funding. Dr. Glasper asked the Board to look at the list of things Maricopa is doing now and add to it. All the items on the list were based on the Board’s mission. The Board can look at the list and adopt one that has a very high priority based on a standardized scale—a priority that gets the most bang for the buck. The Board can help increase partnerships and show the State the MCCCD can move forward. Dr. Glasper cautioned that prioritizing one may shift others lower down the list and the Board has to be prepared for that. All planning comes down to student success—that is why MCCCD exists.
DISTRICT BUDGET PROCESS OVERVIEW / FINANCIAL FORECAST
Ms. Gaye Murphy, Associate Vice Chancellor of Business Services, shared an overview of the process and timeline for the budget.
• June-September: Develop Financial Plan that includes revenue and expenditures estimates; State aid requests due September 1st
• August-January: Financial Advisory Council (FAC) considers available resources, mandatory and other District needs, and participates in college briefings
• January: Submit Proposed Tuition and Fees to Governing Board as Information Item • February: (10th) Assessed Property Valuation due from Maricopa County Assessor
Office; adoption of proposed Tuition and Fees • March: Proposed Budget submitted as Information Item • April: Preliminary Adoption of Proposed Budget • May: Publish Legal Budget and Truth in Taxation notices; Major Taxpayers briefing;
Truth in Taxation Hearing and Final Adoption of Proposed Budget • June: Upload Adopted Budget to the Accounting System
Forecasting new revenue scenarios predict approximately $9M (no action), $3M (State aid cuts), $11M (tax increase), and $25M (tax and tuition increase). Expenditure considerations for FY2015-16 are $7M for mandatory expenses, $19M for COLA adjustment and step increases, $14M for discretionary expenses.

MCCD’s Innovation of the Year in 2014. The ETC provides experiential learning opportunities to students and serves research needs of faculty and students in multiple disciplines
Challenges and Opportunities
• CGCC is connected to, and highly valued by, its communities – Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, and south Mesa.
• CGCC has new opportunities to partner with sister colleges to provide allied health programs in the Southeast Valley.
• CGCC is among the three youngest colleges and started with a lower funding base. Some catch-up has occurred, but college enrollment growth is constrained by fiscal realities: a major challenge will be achieving effective levels of Enrollment Services, staff as well as Student Success and Support staff—staffing levels are significantly below national standards (a greater percentage of resources have historically been directed to classroom and faculty, leaving critical support areas under-resourced); additional 60:40 allocation will help, but CGCC is still among the three colleges with the largest gap.
• Another challenge will be maintaining, supporting, and modernizing older classrooms, labs, learning centers, and other facilities to meet student and faculty needs.
• CGCC’s greatest resource is its people—we have amazing, innovative, and committed faculty (residential and adjunct), staff, and administrators with a true passion for student success.

WRAP UP / NEXT STEPS Dr. Glasper concluded the day by stating he was extremely proud of the institution for engaging at many levels. He asked leaders to share best practices. He said he would be pushing ONE Maricopa solutions and evaluating all the practices being demonstrated at the colleges. He would look for potential resources for those colleges successfully moving the needle to incentivize new efforts. He wants the colleges to think about increasing enrollment and retention and focus fiscal resources on it. MCCCD will generate new money and finds ways to keep funds in the system. MCCCD needs to prioritize and have conversations about cash balances so it can move forward in a planned way but this is not a time to act in a desperate fashion. MCCCD is in control of its future. MCCCD needs to up the risk factor. He encouraged the presidents to look at international enrollment, pull the string on privatization, and consider a 4-year degree option. He also wants to cause some noise at the State and show the community believes MCCCD has a role to play and to push for more. Federal and private grants have helped to sustain MCCCD but MCCCD needs to find resources for those things it really wants. Presidents need to think of ways to talk to the broader community and be prepared for follow-up conversations with the Board. The budget will not be allocated evenly by 10, instead it will be more strategic, focused, and performance-based.

Community college district tries full slate of innovations, all at
once:
If higher education is moving slowly toward the future, the
Maricopa Community Colleges District is racing at high
speed.
Some of the innovations being tried by the district, which
has nearly a quarter of a million credit seeking students in
all 10 separate colleges in greater Phoenix, are controversial
and unproven. And most are not unique; other community
colleges and some four year universities are nibbling at
them here and there.
But few are places are throwing so many reforms at the
problems of higher education all at the the same time. 26 of 183

Tuition/tax increases partially used for
initiatives and priorities instead of
backfilling for revenue losses or slow
revenues: 60/40, SSE, SSI, Public Safety,
Faculty Inversion, IT Enhancements are
examples
2004 Bond Implementation Continues but
will be complete in 2-3 years
32 of 183
Limited growth in property taxes from new construction
State budget issues: Hold onto $1.4 m in State aid and/or $7.4
m in base as of FY14/15?
Unrealistic to expect that tax and tuition increases will be
approved every year
Large dollar needs for identified initiatives and priorities:
60/40, SSE, IT Enhancements, possibly Maricopa Priorities,
possibly Classification and Compensation are examples…and
there may be others especially to improve outcomes

CGCC is connected to, and highly valued by, its communities – Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, and south Mesa.
CGCC has new opportunities to partner with sister colleges to provide allied health programs in the Southeast Valley.
CGCC is among the three youngest colleges and started with a lower funding base. Some catch-up has occurred, but college enrollment growth is constrained by fiscal realities: A major challenge will be achieving effective levels of Enrollment Services
staff as well as Student Success & Support staff – staffing levels are significantly below national standards. A greater percentage of resources have historically been directed to classroom and faculty, leaving critical support areas under-resourced.
Additional 60:40 allocation will help, but CGCC is still among the three colleges with the largest gap.
Another challenge will be maintaining, supporting, and modernizing older classrooms, labs, learning centers, and other facilities to meet student and faculty needs.
CGCC’s greatest resource is its people – we have amazing, innovative, and committed faculty (residential and adjunct), staff, and administrators with a true passion for student success.

SCC’s Student Life Forum is overseen by the Center for Civic and Global Engagement so they plan to promote civic engagement and global awareness on campus. SLF sponsors voter registration initiatives at most events including their recent Constitution Day Celebration. Their goal was to exceed the number of students registered to vote compared to previous events and they met their goal. They are adding a democracy wall to the campus and will be participating in the At-Large Candidate Forum on the 26th. They help with the college’s Internal Education Week, usually scheduled during the third week in November, and this year have three international students in SLF. SLF will participate in the AIDS Walk on October 26th and SCC’s Artichokes Homecoming Kickoff on October 8th, “Rise of Artie!” SCC’s team is currently ranked 12th in the nation! Ms. Mayon then had the members of SLF introduce themselves to the Board.

EMERITUS, AWARDS, AND RECOGNITION
Dr. Daniel Corr, Vice President of Academic Affairs at Scottsdale Community College, thanked the Board and presented an Emeritus award for Ms. Pat Serrano. Ms. Serrano served Scottsdale Community College (SCC) and thousands of its students for more than twenty-six years before
135 of 183
Minutes | September 23, 2014 Regular Board Meeting Page 2 of 7
retiring in May of 2013. During the course of her remarkable career at SCC, she taught face-to-face, open entry, and online classes in the CIS Department. In addition, she served in a number of leadership positions including CIS Evening Chair, CIS Online Coordinator, CIS Day Chair, and the Business and Information Systems Division Chair. Ms. Serrano also served on numerous SCC and district committees including SCC Faculty Senate, College Leadership Team, and iSTAC, the team that planned SCC’s Innovation of the Year Award winning SCCTechTalks 2013. She was a committed EDUCATOR—dedicated to being an outstanding faculty member and she ALWAYS put students first. She was passionate and committed to student learning and each semester she strived to hone her craft. She was the consummate professional—always prepared, engaged, and enthusiastic about teaching her students. Her students (and her colleagues) loved her! She was a PIONEER. Years ago, she pioneered online course offerings at SCC in the CIS Department. To this day, she continues to teach online. To ensure the highest quality online instruction, Ms. Serrano was the first faculty member at SCC to become a Certified Quality Matters (QM) Peer Reviewer. She completed the rigorous QM certification process for several online courses. In addition, she earned her QM Master Reviewer Certification and she served as a college and district QM representative. Ms. Serrano was a dedicated student ADVISOR. For the past six years, Pat served SCC students as the CIS in-department advisor. Her organization skills, attention to detail, and genuine care for student success helped hundreds of CIS students plan and achieve their educational goals. She was a participatory LEADER. By her nature, Ms. Serrano was a collaborative leader. She valued her colleagues’ opinions and included them in the decision-making process. She led by example and she inspired her colleagues to “stick their necks out” and do their best. She was the perfect combination of a leader and coach. She made you better for working with her. Ms. Serrano was a valued TEAMMATE. She was always the person you wanted on your committee or your taskforce. She was the definition of a contributor. Her action items were always done to the utmost professionalism—the highest quality output, on time, and under budget. She was an ARTICHOKE. Ms. Serrano loved SCC and it showed in everything she did. She genuinely enjoyed helping students EVERYDAY. Whenever the call went out for volunteers for campus events, tours, or community service, she stepped up.
Ms. Serrano thanked the Board and remarked that it had been a privilege to part of Maricopa since 1984. She noted she remembered when SCC was a sea of temporary buildings from PC and how much it had grown since then. She said it had been a wonderful experience with a great group of people to work with.
Dr. Linda Lujan, President of Chandler-Gilbert Community College, thanked the Board and asked Dr. Bill Guerierro to help her present an Emeritus award for Dr. Ana Jarvis. First, Dr. Lujan remarked she would break tradition by presenting Dr. Jarvis with a special certificate from the college, La Reina de la Machina Escriba! Dr. Guerriero then shared that Ana Jarvis was one of the first instructors hired at Chandler-Gilbert when it was still an education center in 1987, and she was CGCC’s first Spanish faculty. During those early years when CGCC was emerging as an accredited institution, Ana taught a variety of Spanish classes and worked on developing a strong foreign language program. As the years went by, other languages were added to the department. Ana was instrumental in starting CGCC’s Spanish honor society, Sigma Delta Mu, and an annual Foreign Language Night. For many years she helped plan International Student Week activities with CGCC’s International Student Office. Ana was a key contributor to CGCC’s Marketing Committee and the International / Intercultural Education Committee. She is a gifted and prolific author whose Como Se Dice books are used by colleges and universities locally and nationally. Most of all, Ana has been a strong advocate for her students and her profession. She is known for mentoring and tutoring students and for introducing the beauty of the Spanish language and culture of thousands over the years. Ana has a sharp wit and a great sense of humor. She will be fondly remembered for her valiant resistance to the onslaught of technology, defiantly tapping on her typewriter long after those around her converted to computers, email, and online student information systems. She will be remembered as a dear friend and supportive colleague to many faculty and staff at CGCC.
Dr. Jarvis remarked she had been teaching since she was 17 years old. She laughingly informed everyone she still had her typewriter. She thanked the Board and her family and her colleagues at the college. She noted she is still writing text books and is working on the 11th edition. She is keeping herself busy writing novels, poems, and short stories.
President Saar thanked all the awardees and expressed appreciation to them for their service. He 136 of 183

said they will be missed. He then took a moment to acknowledge the Student Public Policy Forum (SPPF) students present that night. He asked Ms. Deanna Villanueva-Saucedo to give a brief description of SPPF before having the students introduce themselves. Ms. Villanueva-Saucedo reported the SPPF students will spend the year studying public policy and learning how to affect positive change in their community.
SPPF Students: Amylya Brice, SCC; Jordan Cortez, PC; Matthew DePaul, CGCC; Belinda Escalante, PC; Kiana Flores, SCC; Kathleen Friedlander, RSC; Marli Mayon, SCC; Victoria Moreno, GCC; Aika Nelson, GCC; Kira Olsen-Medina, PC; Keeran Panesar, SCC; Jerry Raburn, PVCC; Jason Russon, PVCC; Gilberto Sosa, PC; Jonathan Talos, MCC; and Luis Velasquez-Reyes, GCC.
CITIZEN’S INTERIM There were no requests to address the Board.
CHANCELLOR Chancellor Rufus Glasper reported in 2011-12 he was asked to be a member on a commission on attainment with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). At the same time, the MCCCD Board resolved to support the completion agenda (to increase the number of certificates/degrees/transfers by 50% by 2020). AACC started a commission focused on the future called the 21st Century Commission. Dr. Diaz-Lefebre asked why there were no faculty representation on those commissions so he was asked to participate. Dr. Glasper noted Dr. Rene Diaz-Lefebre had been with Maricopa for 30 years. Copies of the articles noted by Dr. Diaz-Lefebre can be found at http://www2.gccaz.edu/news/employee-news/insight-role-faculty-aacc-report and http://www2.gccaz.edu/news/employee-news/well-connected-or-stressed-out.
Dr. Diaz-Lefebre introduced himself as psychology faculty at GCC North. He reported that AACC asked him to serve on the 21st Century Commission on the Future of Community Colleges two years ago because, if community colleges are to contribute to 21st century students and economy, education leaders must reimagine what the institutions are capable of becoming. In addition to the goals of the completion agenda, community colleges must enhance access and increase the quality of education. The 21s Century initiative provided guidelines and seven recommendations to promote student success. Community colleges cannot be strong by being the same—instead they must be bold and make big changes. The AACC convened nine teams to work to implement recommended changes. The teams looked at research and work already under way across the nation. MCCCD was well represented on the teams: Dr. Glasper was on the Policy and Advocacy Agenda team, Dr. Solley was on Community Colleges/K-12 Collaboration for College Readiness team, Dr. Bustamante was on Team Seven, and Dr. Pan was on Team Eight. Five of the nine teams had MCCCD participants. MCCCD is highlighted in the AACC implementation guide as a model of exemplary programs: 1) collaboration with K-12 partners (ACE++ Program), 2) incorporating ingenious use of technology (Rio Salado College), 3) investing in collaborative support structures (PVCC at Black Mountain), 4) targeting public and private investments strategically, 5) implementing policies and practices that promote rigor and accountability (VFA metrics), and 6) increasing faculty leadership and engagement. As a seasoned faculty working in the trenches, he listened and provided insight in faculty implementation of strategies and ideas how to increase faculty engagement and leadership involvement. Faculty are the academic gatekeepers of the academic experience. Community colleges also need to position themselves to serve the rapidly growing Latino student population. As more Maricopa colleges become Hispanic Serving Institutions, Latino outreach and transfer becomes an attainable goal. He said being a part of this commission has been one of the highlights of his career and he was proud to represent MCCCD.
FACULTY Mr. Keith Heffner, President of the Faculty Executive Council, thanked the Board for agreeing to shift the agenda so the Faculty Executive Council and Employee Group reports preceded the business portion of the agenda. He reported that FEC are involved in many discussions across the district and working hand-in-hand with administration on policy—the outcomes of which would be shared as policy updates to the Board. He said his goal this year is to increase communication across groups. He is visiting faculty senates and college presidents and chatting with vice presidents of academic affairs and retirees in strategies to engage them in activities. He will continue the burgeoning relationship with the Adjunct Faculty Association begun last year as they work toward common interests and common goals. He is taking time to build social networks to break down barriers to progress among the different groups. FEC wants to
137 of 183

be partners with the District. He stressed that they do not take these relationships lightly.

FIRST READ / INFORMATION ITEM
15.1 REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO 4.9 BOARD COMMITTEE STRUCTURE—review the proposed changes to Board Policy 4.9 to include the scope of the three Board committees: Board Policy, Budget and Finance, and Charter Schools.
Board members were satisfied with the language as presented.
MONITORING REPORTS 16.1 BUDGET ANALYSIS REPORT, FUND 1—GENERAL UNRESTRICTED FUND FOR THE TWO MONTHS ENDING AUGUST 31, 2014—Expenditure analysis indicates 10.1% of the budget has been expended this year as compared to 12.3% expended at this same point last year. 47.2% of the budget remained unexpended or unencumbered compared to 43.3% in the prior year. Revenue analysis indicated that 23.5% of the budget has been recognized as compared to 20.4% in the prior year. The projected fund balance will increase by ~$3.4M this fiscal year and the projected ending fund balance for June 2015 is $167.6M. The District should meet its financial stability requirements.
BOARD MEMBERS Mr. Burke reported he attended the demonstration of the remodel of the Phoenix College Bulpitt Auditorium and was very pleased with the additions to the structure. He attended a Chandler Chamber of Commerce breakfast featuring Dr. Glasper and the three state university presidents. Dr. Glasper did a splendid job. He attended an Audit and Finance Committee meeting at Paradise Valley Community College (committee members asked to see more of the District). He attended a budget committee meeting last week and heard the colleges present plans and share the work they are doing.
Mr. Gutierrez reported he had had an accident and so was down for much of the month recovering. He was able to attend a demonstration of the Center for Entrepreneurial Innovation (CEI) at GateWay Community College (also called the incubator). The CEI is a public-private partnership—a cutting-edge space for innovative entrepreneurs. It is designed to house and develop early stage companies by providing a multitude of business and professional resources, such as guidance and mentoring, and exposure to a network of local business resources and professionals, among others. Mr. Gutierrez said it was an impressive tour and he highly recommended it.
Mr. Lumm reported he attended a Victoria Foundation fundraiser and participated in the Minority Male Initiative (MMI) event at GateWay Community College. The MMI event had a great presentation and stressed the need to understand the different motivations that students come in with in order to understand students better. Not all minority groups have the same motivations for attaining an education.
Mr. Saar reported he has visited all ten colleges attending various events and that it was great to see things happening at the campuses with the return of students this fall. He also attended a Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) meeting where the CEI came up as a topic of discussion. It is one of the top two incubators in the State.
VICE CHANCELLOR Dr. Steven Helfgot, CEO of the Maricopa Foundation, provided the following. “President Saar, members of the Board. At your places you will see invitations to the kickoff reception for the 2015 Heroes of Education event. The reception will be held right across the way at the Rio Conference Center on Thursday, October 16, starting at 5:30 p.m. We hope that you will be able to join us. At the event we will have the pleasure of formally introducing our 2015 honoree, Linda Mazon Gutierrez, the President and CEO of the Hispanic Women’s Corporation. Linda, HWC, the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation, and the District’s ACE Program have shared a wonderful partnership for a number of years. Each year at the luncheon which is part of the HWC’s huge conference in downtown Phoenix (which is incidentally this Friday), ten students in our ACE programs are awarded $1,000 scholarships by HWC and each is matched with another $1,000 from the Foundation. Our students are introduced to the crowd and are the first in a long line of scholarship recipients—ranging on up to medical students—introduced

at the occasion. So Linda is truly a Hero of Education, both for her organization’s particular support of Maricopa Community College students and their general support to college students across our state. When I asked Linda if she would accept the award, her response was—“I’m just a girl from the hood who went to Phoenix College.” She is proudly that an much more and we look forward to having you join us on October 16 as we introduce Linda as our 10th anniversary Hero of Education.”
COLLEGE There were no reports.
AADGB Mr. Burke reported the group would be meeting on the 25th and would be discussing plans to bring ACCT’s Governance Institute on Student Success (GISS) to Phoenix.
ASBA Mr. Lumm reported he was not able to attend the Law Conference and asked Mr. Saar to provide some information about it. Mr. Saar said it was the best conference for educators to learn all about law and education. It also gives some insight into what the Arizona Legislature might do next year and to prepare for those discussions.
ACCT Mr. Saar reported planning has been ongoing to make sure the ACCT Leadership Congress in October will be an excellent event.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS There was no report.

Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board Minutes
September 30, 2014
A Special Session of the Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board was scheduled to be held beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the District Support Services Center, 2411 West 14th Street, Tempe, Arizona, pursuant to A.R.S. Section 38-431.02, notice having been duly given. GOVERNING BOARD
• Dana Saar, President • Randolph Lumm, Secretary • Doyle Burke, Member (via phone) • Alfredo Gutierrez, Member • Debra Pearson, Member (via phone)
ADMINISTRATION Rufus Glasper Chris Bustamante
CALL TO ORDER The Special Session was called to order at 10:31 a.m. Board President Dana Saar explained the
meeting was to take action on an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) and MCCCD. He then turned the discussion over to Chancellor Rufus Glasper. Dr. Glasper remarked the IGA was created to standardize the authorization for online courses. He was on a national committee last year looking at reciprocity agreements. The committee settled on an approach of using the regional compacts to help facilitate the process. Arizona is a member of the WHICE compact. Dr. Glasper noted that Dr. Chris Bustamante, President of Rio Salado College, worked on a team to draft a proposal and coordinate activities. He asked Dr. Bustamante for an overview. Dr. Bustamante said the IGA was the result of a national Distance Learning Commission which Dr. Glasper was involved with.
Reciprocity agreements among member states established comparable standards for interstate offerings of postsecondary distance education. They allowed higher education institutions from all sectors that are U.S. Secretary of Education accredited to (voluntarily) bypass state-by-state licensing of their distance education programs via reciprocity agreement with other participating states. It will be overseen by the SARA National Council (NC-SARA) and the four regional education compacts: NEBHE, SREB, MHEC, and WICHE. Maricopa will belong to WICHE-SARA, whose members are western states, including Arizona. Currently, an institution must be registered in each state in which a student resides in order to offer classes—Rio Salado has 47 agreements with other states in place. With the acceptance of SARA, state-by-state agreements will no longer be necessary for SARA participating states.
To-date, there are nine approved SARA states: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, and Washington. Louisiana and Virginia recently submitted an application to their regional compact. By the end of the year it is anticipated that 20 states will be participating and by the end of following year, it is anticipated that 40 states will be participating.
Ms. Dawn Wallace, Director of State and Local Government Relations, took up the narrative to explain what happened in the State Legislature regarding this issue. Maricopa, in partnership with other public and private higher education institutions, worked to support HB2577 which passed unanimously in April 2014. The bill allowed the State to enter into reciprocity agreements for the purposes of distance education. It authorized the creation of a portal agency through intergovernmental agreement to act as liaison to WICHE-SARA and will designate representatives from private and public universities, community colleges, and a tribal college to oversee the portal agency. Once the IGA was authorized in legislation, the team created an AZ-SARA IGA Team which has been meeting since January 2014. It included representatives from the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR), public universities, the State Board for Private Postsecondary Education (AZPPSE) , private universities, and Arizona community colleges. The team was led by Dr. Chris Bustamante, who was appointed by the Arizona Community College Coordinating Council (ACCCC) to act as lead for all Arizona Community College Districts. He helped lead efforts to getting the operational agreements

established. Ms. Wallace turned discussion over to Ms. Lanna Dueck, Associate Dean at Rio Salado College. Ms. Dueck described the state application process. The AZ-SARA IGA Work Team: created the AZ-SARA Council through IGA and Operational Agreement; created Non-Instructional Complaint Policy; applied to WICHE-SARA [due on October 15, 2014]; anticipate the AZ-SARA Council will be operational in Spring 2015. Institutions may start applying in Spring and more details will be announced closer to that time. Annual fees to participate will be based on Enrolled FTE: under 2,500, $2,000; 2,500-9,999, $4,000; and 10,000 plus, $6,000. Members will also pay an AZ-SARA Council fee that has yet to be determined.
The IGA was created because it was necessary to create a portal agency to liaison with WICHE-SARA. The portal agency must be governmental agency. Since no governmental agency exists in Arizona regulating all three higher education sectors, the IGA construct was used to create a portal (government) agency (the AZ-SARA Council). All three sectors will jointly constitute the AZ-SARA Council (three representatives from each, with one tribal college), for a total of 10 representatives. The community college representatives will be from the Maricopa Community Colleges, Pima Community College, and Arizona Central College. The IGA helps facilitate the operational requirements of the portal agency and will review and approve Arizona institution participation in AZ-SARA and oversee the non-instructional complaint process. The non-instructional complaint process was necessary to ensure consumer protection which was one of the main tenets of SARA. The non-instructional complaint process will be overseen by the AZ-SARA Council which will review complaints for procedural accuracy and to ensure SARA policies and standards are adhered to. It will provide final oversight of non-instructional complaints. The AZ-SARA Council has authority to: uphold institutional decisions, recommend specific corrective actions; and withdraw institutional participation in SARA for non-compliance. This allows for one more level of oversight which out-of-state students can work with if they have a non-instructional concern.
The benefits of SARA include: it’s a national solution to a national higher education problem; it uses the existing structures of the regional compacts to provide oversight; it provides significant cost savings for the community colleges while providing opportunity for growth; and it provides for standardized consumer protection for the student.
The Board discussed more aspects of the agreement. The Chancellor was advised to plan for a much larger marketing budget than ever before and make strong consideration of specialty areas to attract. President Saar then called for a motion.
1.0 INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE AUTHORIZATION RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT (SARA) AND THE MCCCD—approve an Intergovernmental Agreement between ABOR, AZPPSE and MCCCD representing ACCC. MCCCD successfully (and unanimously) secured legislation authorizing the State of Arizona to participate in SARA reciprocity agreements with other states to avoid individual licensure in states where it does not have physical presence but it does educate students (e.g., online / distance learning.)
MOTION Motion 10232 Board Member Burke moved for approval of the Item 1.0. Board Member Gutierrez seconded. Motion passed 5-0.
ADJOURNMENT The Special Session adjourned at 11:13 a.m.

Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board accept a Mathematics and Science Partnership Grant continuing award in the amount of $1,920,675 for Year 4 of a 5-year project (totaling $8,748,267) from the National Science Foundation. The NSF Promoting Excellence in Arizona Middle School Mathematics: Increasing Student Achievement through Systemic Instructional Change (DUE 1103080) project commenced on March 15, 2012 and will conclude on February 28, 2017.
Justification
The Promoting Excellence in Arizona Middle School Mathematics: Increasing Student Achievement through Systemic Instructional Change MSP involves 10 Core Partners: Scottsdale Community College, as the lead, Chandler-Gilbert and Glendale Community College, and the Deer Valley, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Chandler, Florence, J.O. Combs school districts, as well as Salt River Pima – Maricopa Indian Community Schools. Supporting partners are: Arizona State University, Maricopa County Community College District, and the Glendale, Mesa, and Peoria school districts.
This targeted MSP project will support teachers in advancing their knowledge about the teaching and learning of middle school mathematics, as well as developmental mathematics in community colleges. The project will provide a systemic model of sustainable professional development in partner schools and colleges to achieve the goal of increasing student achievement in middle school mathematics courses enabling them to make a successful transition to more challenging courses and curricula in high school. The project will also produce research about the characteristics and mechanisms of a sustainable professional development program, as well as contribute to the body of knowledge for understanding teachers’ and students’ mathematical thinking and beliefs.
The project will target 300 in-service middle school mathematics teachers, 32 middle school mathematics teacher-leaders, 40 middle school administrators and 140 pre-service middle school teachers in the Phoenix metropolitan area and will impact a total of 24,000 students in grades 5-8. Participating teachers and administrators will be actively engaged in: Institutes and Workshops that emphasize development of conceptual understanding, computational fluency, and problem-solving skills for students; Collaborative Communities of Learners (CCOLs) that help teachers connect what they learn in the Workshops with their classroom practice; Instructional Rounds that engage administrators; and Targeted Development of Teacher Leaders to sustain the CCOLs beyond the project’s life. Pre-service teachers from the partner community colleges will engage in project activities, including research endeavors, as field experiences.

Program Training
Dr. Maria Harper-Marinick Dr. Ernest Lara
Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between West MEC and the Maricopa County Community College District for Educational Programs with Estrella Mountain Community College and the SouthWest Skill Center, which includes use of the West MEC Central Campus Facility located at 6997 N. Glen Harbor Blvd., Glendale, AZ. 85307.
Justification Estrella Mountain Community College (EMCC) and the SouthWest Skill Center desire to renew the Intergovernmental Agreement with West MEC which expired this year. This agreement has previously included training of West MEC students in the EMT program and will be expanded to include the Fire Science program and future programs. Additionally, the agreement covers the utilization of the West MEC Central Campus Facility to provide Precision Manufacturing training to students in the West MEC machine shop. Use of the training facility will support the college’s ability to deliver hands-on experience using actual apparatus found in the workplace. The Fire Academy and the EMT programs at EMCC and the Skill Center provide essential job skills training for future fire fighters and Emergency Medical Technicians as well as continuing education opportunities for those already working in the field. The Precision Manufacturing Program provides skilled training in an industrial sector that is recognized by the District, the Arizona Commerce Authority, and the Workforce Investment Board as a demand sector for our state.

School District (CUSD) and Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC)
Debra Thompson Dr. Linda Lujan
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Governing Board approve a Lease Agreement with CUSD. The agreement will provide for the lease of Javelina Hall, a 3,950 square foot building containing three classrooms, offices and restrooms at the CGCC Pecos campus. CUSD will pay monthly for the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2019 the sum of $10,961.67 ($32 per square foot) for the lease of the building. Beginning July 1, 2015 the rate will increase based on a national index. CUSD will reimburse CGCC quarterly for office supplies, copying services, and postage. The lease includes 4 one-year extensions.

Paul Theater Phoenix College Ms. Debra Thompson
Dr. Anna Solley Recommendation We recommend that the Governing Board provide Conceptual Approval for additions and renovations to the existing John Paul Theater at Phoenix College. Justification The Capital Development Advisory Council (CDAC) reviewed this item at its October 21st, 2014 meeting and recommended that it be forwarded for Governing Board action. The John Paul Theater additions will address the need for new learning spaces with the scope of work determined by priorities within the total project budget. The first priority will be the addition of a black box theater with a seating capacity of approximately 90 people. The black box theater also will include a small lobby extension and control booth. The existing lobby restrooms will be renovated and the building fire alarm system replaced. If budget permits, a lighting/computer lab classroom will be added to accommodate at least 20 students. Work will include the design and installation of all systems needed to provide fully functional student spaces. The total increase to building square footage will not exceed 3,500 sf. Design, engineering, and special systems consultants will be hired using existing annual service contracts when applicable based on cost. All consultant fees are to be funded from the total project budget. The Total Project Budget of $1,682,775 will be provided from Plant funds, 2004 G.O. Bond Investment Income. The District’s Financial Advisory Council (FAC) is reviewing the request for funds that will be required to operate this building addition.

Governing Board Agenda Meeting Date: October 28, 2014 Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 14.2 Job Order Contracting Purchase Order to
Replace Mechanical System Fan Coil Units in the North Gym Phoenix College
Ms. Debra Thompson Dr. Anna Solley
Recommendation We recommend that the Governing Board approve a Job Order Contract (JOC) purchase order in the amount of Three Hundred Seventy One Thousand, Four Hundred Ninety-Seven Dollars and Eighty-Five Cents ($371,497.85) to Jokake Construction for installation of new mechanical system fan coil units in the North Gymnasium at Phoenix College. Justification The Capital Development Advisory Council (CDAC) reviewed this item at its October 21, 2014 meeting and recommended that it be forwarded for Governing Board action. Phoenix College needs to replace the fan coil units for the North Gym. Used to air condition the gym, the four fan coil units are part of the gym’s original construction in 1968. One unit has a hole in the coil; the others have holes in the bottom drainage pan(s) and are currently leaking or about to leak. The architectural enclosure around the units will have to be demolished to gain access to the pan. The units are well past a normal usable life and it makes more sense replace them than repair forty-six year old equipment. The new equipment also will provide better air conditioning controls at lower energy use than the original units. The work will include asbestos removal and installation of new high efficiency fan coils, valves, controls and enclosures. Jokake Construction has submitted a cost proposal for this work in the amount of $371,497.85 through their MCCCD JOC contract. Funding will be provided from Plant Funds, from the existing PC 2004 G.O Bond Major Maintenance Budget of $386,898.00

Ms. Debra Thompson Dr. Paul Dale
Recommendation We recommend that the Governing Board approve the partial Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Number One for the site work package with a not to exceed price of One Million Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($1,200,000.00) to Austin Commercial LP for the new Integrated Learning Building at Paradise Valley Community College, Black Mountain Campus. Justification The Capital Development Advisory Council (CDAC) reviewed this item at its October 21, 2014 meeting and recommended that it be submitted for Governing Board action. At its July 16, 2013 meeting, the Governing Board provided Conceptual Approval for the new Integrated Learning Building at Paradise Valley Community College, Black Mountain Campus. At their February 2014 meetings, CDAC and the Governing Board awarded Austin Commercial LP a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contract for this project. The Phase 1 site work GMP cost is within the total project construction budget estimate of $6.4 million. The GMP for the building construction and remaining work is anticipated to not exceed $5.2 million and is projected to be submitted for Governing Board approval in November 2014. Funding will be provided from plant funds, from the existing PVCC multi-funded Total Project Budget of $10,000,000. The District’s Financial Advisory Council (FAC) is reviewing the need for operating funds that will be required to open these facilities.

Fund 1: General Unrestricted Fund Ms. Kim Granio For the Three Months Ending 9/30/2014
Expenditure Summary: $M (year to date) • Typically evenly spread across each month, as the majority are payroll and benefits which are
recorded every two weeks. • Projected expenditure at year end: $M • % of expenditures have been recognized year to date (versus % in 13/14, % in 12/13, and % in
11/12). • % of the budget remains unexpended or unencumbered (versus % in 13/14, % in 12/13, and % in
11/12). Revenue Summary: $M (year to date) • The two major revenues, property taxes and tuition, are collected in cycles. Tuition revenue is
generally collected at the beginning of each semester while property tax revenue is mostly collected in the fall and spring when semi-annual payments are due from property owners.
• Projected revenue at year end: $M • % of the budget has been recognized year to date (versus % in 13/14, % in 12/13, and % in 11/12).
Fund Balance and Financial Stability Requirements • Projections are for the Fund 1 balance to increase by ~$M (from $M to $M) in FY 14-15. • MCCCD is required to maintain a financial stability balance equal to 8% of the annual projected
revenue. This currently equates to $M. The remaining fund balance of $M is comprised of college carryforward, designations for future operations, minimum financial condition measure for future years, allowance for student bad debt, priority initiatives, capital master planning, reserves for potential claims/contingency, enrollment growth/retention, and a projected undesignated balance of $M.
• Financial activities of the District comply with the Governing Board Policies, Chancellor Interpretations 2.4 and 2.6, though Restricted Fund revenue collection often lags behind expenditures given that the nature of grants and financial aid is one of reimbursement for expenditures and awards.
Items of Particular Interest: Substantial Deviations from Budget or Expectations None.
