MEETING MINUTESMonday, September 12, 2011, 1:00pm

California Community College Student Senate. Called to encourage students. Constitution is supposed

to help alleviate problems and difficult circumstances. The constitution is supposed to help direct in difficult situations and how to resolve issues as they arise. Constitutions are not persons, so they do not get personal. They state what is to occur in the organization. The Constitution directs the students. He is appreciative of the assistance that advisors provide. He is an older student. And is usually older than the advisors. There are 4 groups in California Community System; They are: Administration, Faculty, Staff and Students.

Mr. Crossley: Time has expired for speaker. We have to move forward for the sake of the meeting. We thank you for your time.

Items can be added. Government Code 54956.5 Brown Act gives us a right to change the agenda.

Mr. Crossley: Asked to see agenda. Key word need to take immediate action. The action would be to put something on the agenda. So to add something to it that is an action item. But for the future we need to have an action item. But he has always been told that one an agenda is posted, you cannot add another item to it. But he was told that you cannot make changes to an agenda once an agenda is posted. That is the reason that you much post it 72 hours in advance.

Vice President: Inquires to Mr. Lee, if we can add an item to the agenda according to the Roberts Rule.

Mr. Lee: everyone in the room is correct. Due to review agenda. You can do one of 2 things. We could either continue the business of the day and move forward or we can make the decision (the chair) and stand to be corrected at some future day and recognize the error, strike it and put the correct word on the agenda.

Vice President: Strike review and put adoption. Can I entertain a motion?

Executive Administrator: I motion to strike review and add adoption in its place.

Treasurer: I second that

Vice President: Make note that this is the first time we've used adoption. The last board used review. All in favor?

Minutes to reflect that meeting is being recorded

Back to Officer’s Report:

President’s Report: NONE

(Daniel Campos): is not currently in attendance. No one has heard from Daniel regarding is absence. Absence is considered unexcused.

Vice President’s Report (John Soliman): Read letter regarding waiver. Congratulated the committee on Welcome Week success.

Treasurer’s Report (Marcelo Rodriguez): All the money had been accounted for regarding Welcome Week. Currently as it stands actually numbers were left in another folder. He believes that $280 dollars from food and $36 dollars made from Raffle tickets. He will have the exact numbers at a later date.

Executive Administrator’s Report (Evy Trezvant): Currently working on previous meetings. Would like to suggest an action during the report.

Vice President: Reads: Roberts Rules page 14. (Officer’s Report). Recommendation can be done during report.

Executive Administrator: stated that I have mixed feelings about this, because this is not where I wanted it to go, but I feel like this is where it needs to go. I really thought things could be worked out, but I have concerns that the ASO President is not making efforts to resolve issues and the ASO President did not show up for an earlier meeting, nor did he show up for today’s ASO meeting. Out of the 5 meetings that have been scheduled the ASO President has only shown up to one. Also upon reading the Preamble from the Constitution, “It is our duty to not lie, cheat , steal or otherwise compromise the integrity of the organization” in which I feel the integrity of the organization has been compromised.

Vice President: Let minutes reflect, Mr. Neshia Lee is on conference. Senator at large Region VII, go

ahead Ms. Evy

Executive Administrator: I feel the integrity has been compromised by all the drama going on and all the dishonesty and also it has prevented us from having a cohesive environment and has produced a lot of stress, so with that said, I’d like to request a Bill of Indictment, which I will be working on. A Bill of Indictment for our ASO President, Mr. Daniel Campos. I’m requesting that we bring him up on impeachment.

Vice President: What page is that Ms. Evy

Executive Administrator: it doesn’t say the page

Mr. Crossley: Impeachment is under Article iX, under impeachment of your Consitution Section 2. I’d like to read what is says: Any council member A. The Bill of Indictment must be discussed on the closed section. So in this case we have to wait until one has actually been presented to the council, so we’ll have to wait until one is presented to the Board.

Executive Administrator: May I make note, there was one presented. There was one presented to Mr. Crossley and Mr. Ramirez about 2 weeks ago in a private meeting, which I will print up. It is a 4 page letter in regards to my feelings of why Mr. Campos was incapable of fulfilling his position. And then I offered to try to work things out but its apparent that Mr. Campos is unwilling to fulfill his duties, bottom line. Not only did I give them a 4 page letter, but I also highlighted the Code of Conduct that was violated. (I’m going to print the letter)

Mr. Crossley: There was documentation presented to us in a previous meeting. But it was not a Bill of Indictment. I’d like to express to Ms. Trezvant that the Bill of Indictment will be discussed in a closed session. The Executive Board has 2 weeks to discuss the Bill of Indictment, so if we receive one today, then we have 2 weeks to make a decision. Because it says number 1. See Constitution. If it is not presented by the President, then it can be presented by The Vice President, or Secretary. Then we can move forward. We are on officer’s report and we do have a certain amount of time and we do need to get through this agenda. Are you finished with your officer’s report.

Executive Administrator: no, I have one thing to say, let the records reflect that I will be using the letters and emails as the Bill of Indictment. The Bill Indictment will be dated today, September 12, 2011

Mr. Crossley: I would say everyone needs to get a copy of it, including the President.

Vice President: Can you repeat that Ms. Evy

Executive Administrator: yes, I will be submitting the emails and documents today as the Bill of Indictment

Mr. Crossley: Please make sure that you send it to everyone via email as well as their mailboxes.

Executive Administrator: I prefer to do hard copies because emails can be changed, I will them ad pdfs to

ensure that they cannot be altered as well as hardcopies. Let the records show that I will use Mr. Crossley as a witness that I did put the Bill of Indictment under Mr. Campos door.

Vice President: And the mailbox

Executive Administrator: because of the confidential nature, I’d rather not put it in his mailbox. I’d rather put it under his door in a confidential envelope. He doesn’t have a private mail box, so I will slide under his door at the end of this meeting.

Vice President: We’re gonna go head and move on. We do not have appointed Senators. We did do about 4 interviews, we’re going to go head and wait for the deadline to appoint ASO Senators. We’re gonna move on to item 8. Mr. Crossley I’d like to get the Advisor’s Report.

Advisor’s Report: I just want to congratulate everyone on a good job. For the club week. The chair of the club committee, the team and the volunteers did a really good job. I think we have a lot of people that really want to be apart of ASO. So the next thing we need to do is move forward and try appoint Senators and move on. With that in mind the ASO membership has been increasing, currently I know of about 80 students that have come to me receiving ASO club packets for ASO memberships. I’m having one of my student workers compile a list. A spreadsheet for students which he is in the process of doing right now, and we are moving forward. We have a lot of interesting clubs. My main interest right now is adding more space because right now we have 23 clubs. And we don’t have the space to accommodate everybody. Any club that wants to request room space or room availability needs to submit an ASO application and then I need to be in correspondence with the clubs, since I am the ASO Advisor. So I can update the website and the meeting times and locations. And also the Robotecas, this Wednesday they will having an ice cream social in the quad area, so that is the end of my report.

Moving on to Committee and Governance Reports:

Mr. Crossley: The only person that has been appointed on the Governance for Report is Daniel Campos who sits on the College Council Committee.

Vice President: And also the Foundation

Mr. Crossley: That not shared governance. That’s separate, but he does sit on the Foundation, but that’s the only one. We do have other shared governance committees, but once we get more students in ASO we will let them know which committees they will sit on.

Vice President: Since Daniel Campos is absent today, we do not have a shared governance report for college Council. Or for the other reps that he sits on including Student Affairs and the Foundation, since he is not here. Now we move on to committee reports.

Welcome Week Ms. Evy Trezvant, chairperson of the Welcome Week.

Welcome Week Committee Chair (Evy Trezvant): It was really successful. I’d like to thank everyone involved. I really appreciate everyone hard work. They did an outstanding job, especially the committee

members: for their roles I’d like to thank Marcelo for his role with Pink Berrys and Jamba Juice. their hard work: John Soliman Co-Chair who worked diligently in helping to get Faculty and Administration to come out. Freddy for getting the bagels, Angie and Soqui for getting the balloons and Mr. Crossley for getting the helium tanks and push-ups and everything for us. And Oscar for being organized with the volunteers. I think that this event is one of the most successful events the campus has ever had. They did a really good job.

Records reflect that some faculty and staff came out and helped with the event. We are very grateful for that.

New Business:

Appointment and Oath of Executive Administrator:

Vice President: I’d like to call for a motion to strike Executive Administrator. We do have the Executive Board filled. So we need to strike that out. Can I entertain a motion to strike out the appointment of the Executive Administrator.

Treasurer: So moved

Executive Administrator: I second

Motion carries 2.0.1 to strike out appointment of Executive Administrator.

Treasurer: I; Executive Administrator: I; Vice President: abstained; none opposed.

We will go ahead with the Oath.

Vice President, Treasurer & Executive Administrator: read and affirmed Oath under ASO BYLAWS for Mission College: Under Section 6 Article I.

Next Item on Agenda: appointment of Senators

Vice President. We moved the appointment of Senators, we did interview applicants and will work on making appointments.

Mr. Crossley: received one application on Friday. Hopefully we can appoint Senators by next Monday. Please let applicants know the status of their applications. He sent Mr. Campos an email. He doesn’t know if he has responded to it. There needs to be communication and follow through, so we have the best ASO possible.

Vice President: I can look up on that and Ms. Evy if you can assist me in contacting the applicants y letting them know we will be contacting them after September 15th.

Executive Administrator: yes, I can do that.

MEETING MINUTESMonday, September 12, 2011, 1:00pm

Next item: Supplies

Vice President: Mr.Crossley, is there an update on printers

Mr. Crossley: We don’t have one right now. I was telling Marcelo that we need to have a finance meeting> We need printers. Because Marcelo is the Treasurer, he can request. At the next Finance Meeting he can establish how much we have in the Student Rep Account. How much we have in our General Ops. And how much we have in our Regular Ledgers. So he can request it from the Business Office and its Public knowledge. You can request the ASO Ledger. The ASO Ledger lists all the money that’s coming through ASO and through our ASO Reserves, we can buy equipment. So I’m requesting that we can buy printers, copiers and furniture, if you guys so desire. We can get 3 quotes and we can submit them. I’d like to have those quotes by our finance meeting. You can order business cards through Vista for free.

Vice President: Please note: supplies should be a standing item on the agenda

Executive Administrator: I have a request for files and administrative supplies in order to better organize ASO

Next Item: DJ donations for Welcome Week

Treasurer: I, Marcelo Rodriguez, ASO Treasurer, Did you ever have a discussion with DJ as to how much he wanted to charge.

Vice President: Yes, I was the one who orginally contacted the DJ, when I spoke to him, he told me his fee was $70/hour. I spoke to the Committee Chair, Ms.Evy Trezvant and referred him to her. Ms. Evy

Executive Administrator: Yes, I spoke to the DJ, Ricardo. He said he originally does it for $70/hr. I had informed him that the advisor for the Drama Club had told me before in the past that if we ever needed a DJ, they had one for free. I told him that we really don’t have a budget, but we would try. I told the DJ that we may be able to give him something, but if so, it wouldn’t e that much money. I told him that I needed to bring it to the board and I would get back to him.

Treasurer: Seeing as we haven’t had a Finance meeting yet. And we would have to discuss where the funds would come out of. And he did come out for 3 days and bring his own equipment. I was thinking of a donation of $100 maybe.

Executive Administrator: I was thinking of a suggestion of $50. I had already told him that if we did pay him, that it wouldn’t be that much. We really didn’t make a profit.

Treasurer: Would the ASO fee be included in our budget? Is there Revenue from that?

Vice President: No, not to my recollection

Mr. Crossley: I know the way we market ASO from Welcome Week. We generate money a couple different ways. We market ASO through Welcome Week and the Wellness Center, and We also market

MEETING MINUTESMonday, September 12, 2011, 1:00pm

through the book store, The money generated from welcome week is generally put back into our general ops account. This way it will go into our operating budget for the semester. The way it works is that it wasn’t really a fundraiser per say. It was more or less we were giving out the kindness of our heart. In the future we have to be really careful of giving money away because the Board wills stipulate we can’t just give money away. If we do want to compensate him he has to fill out a personal service contract. Then we would have to cut him a check. So if we ever get audited it will show where the funds went.

Vice President: do we have a consensus of $50

Treasurer: That’s fine

Vice President: Can I entertain a motion to pay the DJ from welcome week $50 for his services. Mr. Ricardo Mier

Treasurer: so moved

Executive Administrator: I second

Motion carries: 2.0.1 for paying DJ, Ricardo Mier (not sure of spelling)

Treasurer: I; Executive Administrator: I; Vice President: Abstained; none opposed

Next Item: Events

Vice President: September is International Independence Month. Chair recognizes Ms. Evy

Executive Administrator events starts today. There are posters around campus. Today we celebrating the Independence of Mexico with an emphasis on Afro Mexicans in History. This will be an all week event through Thursday. Lasoinchi is out there today along with BSU. AB540 and Mecha will be out there later this week.

Vice President: Moving on to Constitution Day

Mr. Crossley: Asked to put Constitution Day on the Agenda, because we are a federally funded school. Constitution Day actually falls on September 17, which is a weekend. Maybe we can have a table in the quad area to pass out Constitution brochures.

Treasurer: It would be amazing to have a play and I would like to volunteer. Unable to do that this semester, but we could put out a table. Will also ask AGS for volunteers

Council agreed to set a table out on Thursday in the quad area and pass out Constitution brochures.

Vice President: please entertain a motion to have this event

Treasurer: Motions for event

Co-op Ed for E-Board

Suggested by President, Daniel Campos. Mr. Raskin would grade us.

Mr. Crossley: Is work experience. You can get credit for work experience.

Executive Administrator: when Daniel Campos first brought this idea to me. He stated the Mr. Crossley would be evaluating him and Daniel would be evaluating us. I don’t think a student should be evaluating other students. Secondly, after doing research, we would no longer be free to advocate for students because we would become a class and under the faculty’s discrestion.

Vice President: Can I have a motion to decline the co-op Ed for ASO

Treasurer: So moved

Executive I second

Motion carries 2.0.1 to decline the Co-op Ed credits for ASO.

Next Item: LACCD Leadership Institute:

Mr. Crossley: every year all the ASO advisors put together this event. It teaches you how to be effective in your roles. The event will be on Fridays. In the past the fee has been about $75/per person. We can take this out of our Rep Account. They will provide sandwiches and lunch. The following Friday on October there will be a Parliamentary procedure, which requires a whole day. To help you run your meeting effectively. We need to allocate $75/per person, per event. The dates are: September 30, 2011 and the following Friday is October 7, 2011 from 9am – 3pm.

Vice President: who will be attending these workshops.

Treasurer: I don’t know if you guys agree, but from the information that Mr. Crossley provided. I think the second workshop will be the most important for us. Maybe we can all try to attend that one.

Executive Administrator: I agree, but I have class on Fridays from 9am -12 Noon.

Mr. Crossley: Not to negate one. Both of them are important. Because the first one deals with leadership and team building. The Chancellor will be there. We do have a program that is devoted to this. Both of them are important.

Vice President: Asked for a Budget Report.

Treasurer: that funs is not on the regular financial board. Its separate from the other funds dealing with

ASO.

Mr. Crossley: We do have the funds because it’s the $1 rep fee that the students pay. We probably have about $30,000-$50,000 in that account and we can afford it.

Treasurer: I do want to go , but I cant affirm that I can go to the September 30 th event.

Mr. Crossley: Can we put a cap on this. We can also offer this out to clubs as well. So we want to put a cap on it and discuss it later on.

Executive Administrators: Students have been asking for a Halloween Dance this semester. Can we move to next week.

Vice President: this item Halloween Ball will be tabled for next week’s agenda

Next item: ASO t-shirts

Vice President: Any information Mr. Crossley

Mr. Crossley: has a vendor from last year. We need to order t-shirts because we’ve been telling students we don’t have them and they are apart of the ASO packets. I think we can order 500 t-shirts and they are like $3 or $4 a piece. I want to say maybe we could order like $1,500 worth of t-shirts.

Vice President: Point of clarification: These t-shirts are going to be the ones given out with the ASO memberships?

Mr. Crossley: yes. These are the ones that will be given out with ASO memberships. This vendor already has the logo and the silkscreen and he’s pretty inexpensive.

Vice President: They usually come right away

Mr. Crossley: yeah, we just have to do a check request. The minutes need to reflect what we are spending.

Executive Administrator: if we do 500 t-shirts, that’s $1,500 bucks.

Next Item: SSCCC and CCSAA

Mr. Crossley: SSCCC and CCSAA,, these are two conferences. The last time we had a meeting I asked everyone to look at the website and see what these two conferences are about. The deadlines are approaching soon. The CCSAA is in San Jose on October 22 and 23rd. Then the one in SSCCC is in San Jose as well and that is November 4,5,6th. They are both overnight. The CCSAA is a general assembly. They both are really good leadership conferences. We need to establish a budget for it.

MEETING MINUTESMonday, September 12, 2011, 1:00pm

Mr. Crossley’s only concern is that ASO already donates $350 to Transfer Center for the College Fair, which is a line item. Not sure why we also have to supply volunteers.

Treasurer will ask AGS about volunteering and get back to ASO

If we supply volunteers maybe ASO will lower donation amount to College Fair

Vice President adjourned meeting at 3:32pm
