Health & Safety:  Stanlee Garriott, Cathy Welch, Sandra Kirkpatrick and Kathy Z-Taylor will continue to be Classified Representatives.

College Council:  Signage (or lack of) was discussed.  Pablo recommended that Kathy Z-Taylor, as Classified Representative, should bring up issues and set deadlines for their resolution.  Also discussed was the Pacific Heights purchase.  This purchase cannot be made until the Skyline Parcel of land is sold.

District shared Governance:  Kathy Z-Taylor will remain the Classified representative.

Diversity:  Lori Knobel will continue to be the Classified Council Representative.

Staff Development:  Cathy Welch will continue to be the Classified Council Representative.  It was proposed that Skyline Classified Staff join CSM & Canada for a District-Wide Classified Retreat which would replace Skyline’s Retreat.  This proposal was not positively agreed to.

Staff Recognition:

Cathy Welch is working on a Retiree Plaque.  $300.00 has been set aside for the Plaque.

Kathy Z-Taylor met with President White to discuss Long Term Service Award Recognition.  A decision should be made as to where and when this should be held.  The week before Spring Break was discussed.  Questions also included whether or not faculty should be included and if the format should be changed.

Also, should the "Pat on the Back" Award be reinstated?

Fund Raiser:

Since the ‘Bingo Bash’ and raffle was such a success last year raising $200.00 for the Classified Scholarship, it should be repeated this December.   Due to the hard work of many, but especially Char, Lupe and JoAnn, the ‘Basket Raffle’ brought in $468.50.

Treasury Report:

Treasurer Theresa Tentes reported that $250.00 was donated by the Classified Council to the American Lung Association in memory of Craig Biagi, Lori Biagi’s Husband.

The Classified Council has an account balance of$1252.52, of which $1200.00 is set-aside for the Millennium Scholarship.  This leaves a Grand Total of $52.52.  Theresa also noted that the Classified Council Scholarship is $500.00, so $447.48 is still needed.

Other Business:

Felix Perez expressed a need for an Emergency Guideline Handbook.  Included in this handbook would be procedure for emergency situations such as earthquakes, fire, bomb threats, chemical hazards, etc.  He noted that the Oakland Unified School District had a very effective handbook.

Felix offered to demonstrate how to use our website.

It was also suggested to have an occasional guest at our meetings.  Examples were President White, Ron Galatolo, Joe Nunez, etc.

Felix Perez, Salah Webb

1.  Fran White - Fran talked about the Faculty Senate survey and said that the heads of all the committees should meet a a future date to
discuss the role of each committee.

Several issues were brought to Frans attention.  Security  has always been a big concern and is a campus wide issue.  Badges seem like a
good idea.  But, it is more of a divisional thing rather that a college wide one.  Salah has his media folks wearing badges with
their names and department on them.  Kathy Z. is thinking of doing the same.  Actually, all people who have access to areas of security,
should have an ID badge.  Felix will again bring our concerns to College Council at the next meeting.

The Classified Representative to the Presidential Search  committee will be Cathy Welch-not  Kathy Bianchi.
