>> And the presentation of the 2019-2020 slate of officers
and calendar of meetings.
Do I need to do anything else?
>> Just the presentation of the,
from the nomination committee and [inaudible]
>> Yes and --
>> -- a formal --
>> Okay. Mr. Klink, would you
like to present the slate of officers?
>> Sure. The slate of officers, chair Marian Brown [inaudible].
>> Is there a second?
>> Second.
>> Thank you.
>> Melina, any discussion?
All in favor?
>> [Simultaneous] Aye.
>> Opposed?
Motion carried.
Okay. And the calendar of meetings,
did you want to present that?
>> It is in your packet as attachment in Section 8, 8.4.
And I present that after review by all of the trustees
in their respective committee meetings or the calendar
of the committee's August 1st of 2015 all the way [inaudible]
of August 2020 with two changes.
The committee meetings have been moved
up to begin an hour earlier so that
when presentations are made,
they're during the business hours
so that we can have more people from the college present.
And our April-May board meeting has been combined
to a single meeting so that our May calendar is not quite overly
stocked with student and employee recognition events,
as well as respecting both the Auburn School District,
spring break calendar as well as the College calendar.
So you'll see there's no April specific meeting
but an early May meeting.
>> There is one correction --
>> [Inaudible] one correct committee meeting is the 20 --
>> The April 20th,
2020 committee meeting should be April 23rd, 2020.
And that will be reflected in this attachment
and all board packets going forward.
Okay.
>> Umm.
>> We have a vote to approve this calendar.
[ Inaudible Speaker ]
>> Thank you, John.
Is there a second?
>> Second.
>> Okay. All in favor.
>> Aye.
>> I declare the business of this meeting closed.
Let us adjourn.
Motion to adjourn?
[Inaudible replies] Okay.
All in favor?
>> Aye. Aye.
>> Okay. So, do we need an executive session beforehand
or not?
[ Inaudible Speakers ]
>> Thank you -- so, I'll call this meeting to order
at whatever that clock says, 8:06,
which is probably not correct, but --
[ Silence ]
>> So, now, do we need a [laughter] --
>> For a contract negotiations and personnel.
>> Okay, so we will immediately adjourn to executive session.
>> We need a motion and a second.
>> Thank you.
>> Second.
>> I'll get this, one of these days.
>> All in favor?
>> Aye.
>> Gavel's back in, right.
>> But we already did.
>> All right.
Thank you.
So, we'll start with the consent agenda.
We have in our packet 2.1,
Minutes of the regular session of June 20, 2019.
2.2, Monthly bills for June 2019.
Grand total, 824,479.42.
And stipend lists number 21 and 22
for a grand total of 434,643.84.
Can I have a motion to approve the consent agenda?
>> So moved.
>> [ Inaudible Speaker ]
>> All in favor?
>> [Simultaneous speakers] Aye.
>> Moving on.
Committee meeting notes and recommendations,
Miss Hutchinson, can you give us a report
from the finance [inaudible]?
>> Yup. Our meeting notes are in the packet.
We have one resolution today.
Resolution 3.1.1.
I will move it.
Resolved as a successor agreement
between the Cayuga Community College Educational Support
Professionals and Cayuga Community College dated June 28,
2019, be approved and forwarded
to the Cayuga legislature for its approval.
>> Any second?
>> Aye.
>> All in favor?
>> Aye.
>> Sorry. I should have asked for discussion.
>> You need to roll [inaudible].
>> Oh, okay.
Sorry.
>> [Inaudible] for any discussion?
>> [Inaudible] call 3.1.1 is Brown, yes.
[Inaudible]
>> I just want to add, okay.
You know, certainly, I wanted to just recommend
to your consideration for this successor [inaudible].
I also just wanted to take a moment
to thank all [inaudible] the leadership who participated
in the process, you know, I appreciate the conversations
and the dialogue and the great way
to get your point [inaudible].
I really appreciate all the effort and thoughtfulness
that goes into it, and certainly ask you, trustees,
for your support and consideration to the agreement.
>> Okay, 3.1.1 is Brown.
>> Yes.
>> Mr Camardo.
>> Yes.
>> Ms Carnicelli
>> Yes.
>> Ms Daddabbo.
>> Yes.
>> Ms Hutchinson.
>> Yes.
>> Mr Klink.
>> Yes.
>> Mr Mahunik.
>> Yep.
>> Mr Franceschelli.
>> Yes.
>> Mr Charles.
>> Yes.
>> Dr Van Buskirk.
>> And we're [inaudible].
Thank you .
>> If there's anything further --
>> Nope. That's all I have.
Thank you.
>> Okay.
>> Ms Carnicello, do you have a report
for governance and planning?
>> [Inaudible] solutions and the notes are in the packet.
In the last meeting there were two presentations.
>> [Inaudible] can I just, sort of, add,
that was an excellent enrolment update,
Jeff, I'm glad we had that.
If we could continue that on, I appreciate it.
I think for discussion, I'd like to see next time
if we can have something on recruitment,
and where we're spending our money
on marketing and things like that.
So I think there would be a good overall view for the trustees
to see how we're doing with recruitment
or monies we're spending, and so on, and so forth [inaudible] ah,
marketing programs or looking to spend money on.
Also, did everybody get the presentation
that you gave at that last meeting?
>> It is in the boardroom.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Great!
So, everybody can take a look at that.
I think, there's a lot
of interesting information in there.
>> Yeah. Pretty much.
Okay. Thank you.
Moving on to reports, Mr. President.
>> Good morning, everyone!
Good to be with you.
First, I want to take a moment to thank
and recognize Dr. Linda Van Buskir for her work as chair
for the last several years.
I'm sure it's gone by just wonderfully fast for you.
[ Laughter ]
But, you know, in all seriousness, you know,
certainly, sitting in [inaudible] as president
from the administration and all that.
All the work for the trustees that you do is important,
and we appreciate your support and leadership.
But as chair, Linda, I just can't thank you enough for all
that you've done to support us
and to help lead this institution.
And for that, I thank you.
>> Thank you very much.
I think the best thing I did was getting Marian,
recommending Marian for a board membership.
[ Laughter ]
>>It's the best thing you did as transitioning out.
[ Laughter ]
>> Yeah.
>> That hurts.
[ Laughter ]
>> You'll get over it, Brian.
>> I already have.
I also wanted to take just a moment
and welcome Dr. Ron Cantor with us.
Certainly, Dr. Cantor starts --
[ Applause ]
>> You get a round of applause.
[ Laughter ]
Dr. Cantor started with us earlier this month
and actually had met with several people
and represented himself, and the institution,
in some conferences state wide and other things prior
to his official start date and, you know, we welcome you
and we're looking forward to our work together.
And, you know, and I know, the Trustees are looking or,
you know, certainly, looking forward to working with you.
You come here with a great deal of credentials and experiences,
and we're all going to benefit greatly from that.
So, you know, just publicly, you know,
we'll have many other forms for this, but I just want
to welcome you formally to the institutions.
>> Thank you very much.
It's a pleasure to be here
and it's a tremendous opportunity for me at this time.
So, thank you.
>> Alright.
So, we continue to focus much on the rounding
out the budget process earlier this week.
Myself and Marie and Pat were able
to present the 19-20 operating budget to the Ways
and Means Committee, the [inaudible] kind of legislature.
And, actually, trustee and legislator.
Mahunik chairs that particular committee.
So, we appreciated his flexibility
and getting our calendars together to be there.
And, you know, it was, I thought a great,
I thought it was a great conversation with the committee.
I thought there were lots of thoughtful questions
about where we are at as an Institution, and what it is
that we're looking from them for the operating piece.
Obviously, based on your recommendation and approval,
we ask them for 1 1/2 percent increase
for the fourth year in a row.
And that committee unanimously approved
and has supported its consideration to the full board
on next Tuesday night.
I certainly want to thank Trustee Mahunik and Marie,
and all the work that you've done
to help support the advocacy for this.
And ultimately, any time we're able to get in front
of the legislature and talk about finances,
it's an important thing to be able to do
to answer their questions and [inaudible],
but I think their thoughtfulness of, you know,
what it is that we need for their support to invest.
All that we're looking to invest in the community
to support our students and our institution
as we're a shrinking organization.
I thought, really came out and their, again,
their education support of who we are and where we are today.
And I thought that was refreshing, I think,
very helpful for dialogue.
So ,we'll continue to advocate through next Tuesday evening,
that we want their support and, you know,
this would be a really good sense of, I think,
support from our sponsors.
If they support the 1 1/2 percent increase again this
year, given the four years in a row.
And that's out to be about $46,000 dollars,
but every dollar matters, and it becomes really the new standard
of [inaudible] for the community.
So, if you're asked, if you see anyone, please, you know,
thank them for their ongoing support, sponsorship,
and hopeful that they'll approve the resolution, next week.
From a capital project perspective,
neighborhood house continues to be on time and on budget.
We're hopeful that it'll be fully completed in mid-august.
So, we'll look to have the time to get people in there
to see the updated space as we go, and we'll look
to have some sort of formal opening event or open house
in advance of the school year starting
if everything is in place.
So, stay tuned for updates on that.
The other main thing we're waiting
on right now is we're eagerly waiting
for when the response will come back
to community on the DRI projects.
Obviously, one of the, one of the recommended projects
of the leadership group here was the support of $800,000
for our Culinary Art Center, and we're hopeful that, you know,
that will be one of the projects the governor affirms
and supports.
And once we get word on that, we'll be ready to move forward
and go through the next step.
So, hopefully, hopefully, it'll be this month at some point.
But I've yet to hear any formal updates
on when to anticipate that.
I'll be happy to answer any questions.
[ Silence ]
Thank you.
>> Okay. Dr Cantor, your report.
>> Well, thank you.
In my written report, I briefly mentioned
as having introductory meetings with a wide range of [inaudible]
and learning all I can about them and about the college,
and much thanks to some of the people in the room
who participated and many others.
So far, my focus has been on curriculum transitions
and working both on campus and [inaudible], and making sure
that our curriculum becomes as flexible as it needs to be
in these changing times.
I've been learning about and trying to dig a little deeper,
and learn about faculty needs on both of our campuses,
and beginning to talk with them about effective strategies
to get us where we need to be.
>> Okay. Give a sense of when you might be able
to provide a report to the board on your findings.
>> Hmm! I would hope I would provide ongoing reports each
time I do this little session because I see it
as ongoing work, and I don't think it will ever be over.
But I do think, there's going to be progressive milestones.
So, I would say probably two to three months,
I would have a good feel and be able to talk more in depth
about what I'm finding.
>> Yeah, great.
Thank you.
>> It's always nice to have, you know [inaudible] --
and you're an inside-outside person now.
But, you know, to have that fresh perspective
and gathering that changes.
I think, it'd be useful for all of us to know what you learn.
Okay, thank you.
Who is covering the administration,
administrative services report?
>> Ah, I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Marie is also here to answer questions.
[ Silence ]
>> The [inaudible] is driving me crazy, Brian.
I just want you to know that.
>> Oh, man.
[Laughter]
>> We're working on it.
>> Okay. Thank you.
[ Laughter ]
>> Ah, any --
>> Sorry.
>> -- any questions and issues with that report?
Okay. Moving on.
Mr Rosenthal.
>> Good morning.
You have my report.
The majority of it reflects as Mr. Carter said the presentation
that I shared with governance and planning, it highlights,
the 2018-19 [inaudible] scenario, as well gives status
of the 2019-2020 enrollment picture.
And does also describe some of our enrollment strategies
to support enrollment.
Before you have an opportunity to ask me any questions,
I just want to say that I wasn't here at the June board meeting.
But I do want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude
for having worked with Dr. Heron.
She was an extraordinary professional and colleague.
I learned an enormous amount
from having worked alongside her.
I think the institution is a better place
for having had her here for these past eight years.
Although I do also welcome Dr. Cantor.
Looking very forward to working with him
over the next two years.
I just did want to say that we were extraordinary,
extraordinarily lucky to have her here
and I was extraordinarily lucky to have had the opportunity
to work alongside her.
She was a terrific professional colleague and friend,
and I'm going to miss her.
>> Alright.
Thank you.
>> You have such a small, but mighty shoes to fill.
>> Absolutely.
[Laughter] In my short time of overlap,
she's been tremendously helpful to me.
>> Yeah. Great.
>> Happy to answer any questions.
>> What's been the progress on the interface
between the college and the high schools
that have significant Hispanic populations
that might need our services in the future?
>> Ah! --
[ Silence ]
Well, there is one individual who --
>> Well, we know about him.
>> Yeah.
>> Absolutely.
And my understanding is that he will be attending in fall
and we look forward to having him here.
And we'll do everything we can to provide the kind of support
that we think he will need to be successful here.
>> I had two meetings with, one with Jeff and Leadership
from Southern Cuban High School.
It was very productive meeting to try
to get [inaudible] universe.
I, then, had another meeting with district superintendents
to talk about the issue more globally, and that we wanted
to work with them to figure out, you know, are we,
are we best positioned, and how to best position ourselves
to make sure we're able to be ahead
of whatever may be coming to support them.
And so, what I requested them
in the fall is let's get some school district representation
for those districts that are most impacted
or successful right now.
And then, perhaps, work with them to make sure
that the college is aligning its future decision-making services
and supports associate with that.
Jeff and others have done a great job looking
at our policies to make sure that we're, that we have,
you know, that we're in compliance,
and that we have the ability to make the right decisions
and those have been adjusted.
But ultimately, the real work has to be coming
with a long-term conversation with school district leaders,
to just to make sure there's the pipeline from Pre-K
through post-secondary education if it makes sense.
And, I think, it's, I think, it's a longer play.
It's a great question --
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
>> But, I think, what's really most important is that we,
as an institution, are always part of the conversation
and have the awareness of how our population evolves,
and are we equipped to provide the right support
and pathway for them.
I think, everything that we've been able
to learn thus far has really, sort of,
got us in a better position to be proactive with it.
And I think that's a good, you know, that was a good result.
>> Okay. Thank you very much.
[ Silence ]
>> Any further?
Any other questions for Jeff?
All right.
Moving on to Mr. Charles [assumed spelling].
>> Alright.
Just a small update.
Our student government organization is [inaudible]
training, July 31st and August 1st, to get our new member.
I've made [inaudible] understanding their
position [inaudible].
And the [inaudible] will be holding orientations
for incoming students on August 16th and the 23rd.
>> Okay. I know Mr. Cosentino indicated the other night
at the president's dinner
that he might be late, and he is late.
So, I will just say it was a very nice presidential awards
dinner that was held out at the pavilion
at Emerson Park organized by the foundation.
Jeff, a sense of any other termination business
that should be shared here.
>> No. I'm think [inaudible].
>> Okay. And you don't have -- okay, okay, great.
So, moving on to old business, I don't know that we have any,
nor do we have any new business.
>> [Inaudible] I don't know if it's old business
and new business but last month, [inaudible] and very happy
to [inaudible] full support from the County Legislature
for another seven years here on the college board.
So, I appreciate their support and thank them.
Just a side note that I think I've shared this story with some
of you, it would have been just about now, in 1959,
my father signed a letter of intent to come here
to teach in the fall of 1959.
He spent 50 years here at the college [inaudible]
in 2009 while [inaudible] teaching.
And I've continued that service on,
so there'd been a [inaudible] affiliated with the college
for 60 years, which I'm very proud of, so, I just wanted
to mention that and say thank the trustees
who supported my free appointment for the college,
and hopefully keep moving forward
with great work we're doing.
So, I appreciate everybody, working with everybody here.
It's an honor to be here, and I'm looking forward
to the next seven years of my term.
So, I just wanted to [inaudible] --
>> Yeah. Great.
Thank you, [inaudible].
>> Yeah, so, thank you very much.
>> I don't think we have any communications.
>> I wasn't given any, if there was any.
>> So, in the packet, we have the information
about trustee dependence
at County ledge meetings and I'm up next.
>> No. Actually, Tony is.
>> Tony. Okay.
I'm jumping to August.
So we have our contact list, our procedures [inaudible]
>> Hmm?
>> Oh, there's 2020.
>> Someone is [inaudible].
[ Inaudible Discussion ]
>> We have our meeting date, so we've already approved
for next year, acronyms, and the executive session law.
And referencing that, we do have,
need to re-enter executive session for the purpose
of personnel and real estate.
There will be no business afterwards.
Can I have a motion to --
>> So moved.
>> to enter executive [inaudible]
>> Thank you.
[ Inaudible Discussion ]
