[ Multiple Inaudible Conversations ]
>> Linda, I haven't heard from you or talked to you in a month,
you must be so relieved.
>> I feel a little, you know.
>> Lighter?
>> Just like, yeah, take easier naps and, uh.
You know I have my bright ideas and I said well,
maybe I'll tell it to Marian.
>> I'll give them all due consideration.
[ Multiple Inaudible Conversations ]
>> And you know, Brian, you know, I didn't even bitch to you
about the condition of the grounds.
>> Do I have to take up that mantle?
Well it's 8 o'clock, we have a quorum.
And so I will call this meeting to order.
I see we have some public.
Do we have any comments from the public?
No? Alright.
The board needs to move directly into an executive session
for the purposes of discussing personnel,
conduct negotiations, and real estate.
We expect it will take 10 to 12 minutes.
And then we'll be back in afterwards.
So thank you.
Can I have a motion to-- ?

Aye.

[ Inaudible ]
>> Any discussion?
All in favor?
Aye.

>> Moving on we have committee meeting and note,
recommendations, Hutchinson for finance and audit.
We have several resolutions.
We did recently kind of form the subcommittee of the committee
to look at USI or insurance brokers' recommendations
as to adjustments that need to be made to our current coverage.
And they brought us pricing from various carriers.
And I honestly thought they did a great job
and it was a really helpful session we had with them.
We met with them for about an hour and a half.
And I think they're going to be able to help us get all the,
you know, get our proper coverages in place
so that we can kind of move forward and look
at enterprise risk management issues,
which I think was really something
that was important to us.
So, that's an update on that.
Otherwise, just getting into the resolutions.
3.1.1, I'll move, resolve

to an Auburn10-month tenure track faculty position

Dr. Van Buskirk.

The report of the meeting is in the packet.
Our resolutions concern public safety.
[Inaudible] brought forward three policy updates,
Doug works closely with the state of New York and SUNY
to make sure that we are up to the minute with the policies.
The first one is 3.2.1, the Jeanne Clery Act disclosure

Also, let it be further resolved
that Cayuga Community College board
of trustees charge college administration with ensuring

I make that as a motion.

Also, let it be further resolved
that Cayuga Community College board

Also let it be further resolved

I make it as a motion.
>> Second?
Alright. We have a second.
Any discussion?
All those in favor?
>> Aye.
>> Okay. Moving onto reports.
Mr. President?
>> Good morning, everyone.
Good to be with you.
Couple updates.
Obviously we are, you know, [inaudible] for the start
of our fall 2019 semester already [inaudible] [inaudible]
for the [inaudible] orientation today.
So that's always exciting.
And also this week we had, received message,
I think it was Monday morning, Tuesday morning,
that our men's soccer team is practicing
about 7 am at Falcon Park.
And you know, having their first, their first go
on our new athletic field.
I think our women's soccer team is scheduled to start yesterday,
or today, Thursday, today.
So that certainly is [inaudible] look forward
to seeing them as we go.
From the capital project piece of it,
obviously in the last month, as most are aware,
our culinary center this year had been a supported project
by the governor.
When it comes to the downtown revitalization initiative
of the year in Auburn.
So we were awarded 800,000 dollars
which is a significant investment
and recognition I think of the value
that this particular project has in supporting the movement
of a division of the city of Auburn.
So we're certainly very, feel very fortunate
to have the support from the state.
And really the support of the local planning group
and leadership at the city of Auburn
to include this particular project as one that, you know,
that was important to all of us and I think
that that's an exciting thing.
So in the coming months we'll be solidifying our plan and coming
up with our strategy to actually get it built out and open.
The curriculum for our culinary program,
as many of you are probably aware,
has been now fully approved.
And we're looking to bring in our first class
for that recruitment cycle for Fall 2020.
And so we have a team of people internally that are looking
at strategy [inaudible] the program both
at recruitment and admissions side.
And we also have the team that's working on it from a facility
and design standpoint as well.
So stay tuned, and I'm sure
over the next several months we'll have monthly updates as to
where that particular project is going.
I think it's, I think it's a really exciting venture
for all of us.
We also continue to be working through the final touches,
if you will, on the childcare center.
Our facility is scheduled to open on time here
in the next couple weeks to support the fall start.
It's a-- certainly is something we're excited about.
And I think the leadership, you all trustees,
the work that's going on within the college both
on the staffing side and the FSA side to ensure every,
all the readiness for it I think has been amazing
and from you know, my perspective,
to have the opportunity to acquire such a facility
and you know, in late February, first of March,
to be able to invest a million dollars into
and open its doors really six plus months later is a real
testament for how important this was to us.
And ultimately the results of it, as we know today,
is that we have, you know, a chance to serve, you know,
30 plus more children and many more families and we'll be,
you know, really having a nice location in the city of Auburn
to be able to support our ever-growing childcare services
and programs and I think that it's just been,
it's just been a great project.
Looking forward to the grand opening
and really seeing the families that are going to be impacted
by such a high quality facility as we go forward.
I also just want to take a moment and congratulate the city
of Fulton, who just yesterday was recognized
as this year's recipient for the DRI and 10 million dollars.
We the college have, you know, been in conversations
with them along the way about goals that we have
and that may be able to be a part of it.
And so we'll be looking to continue to sort of monitor
and reengage in that process as it goes forward as we, you know,
knowing what we've been through here in Auburn as you know,
where the work is to be done and what strategies are associated
with it, if there's a particular project
that we either previously identified or one that we made
that may make sense, we'll be looking to do our part.
But most importantly today, for the city of Fulton,
to be able to get those resources invested
in the state is just truly remarkable and being able to be
so close to it over the last year, so here in Auburn,
I think can really be transformative
and allows a community to come together
and allows a vision to be crystallized.
And I certainly hope that [inaudible] be a part of that
as we have conversations with them
over the next several months.
So I just want to congratulate them as well.
>> Okay.
>> Happy to answer any questions.
>> Any questions for the president?
>> The, there is a formal open house date
for the childcare center, is it-- ?
>> [Inaudible] as September 12.
>> September 12.
>> We might want to put that in the minutes
because otherwise it would be past-- .
To which everyone is invited.
Mr. Cantor.
>> Well good morning, everyone.
As some of you know, I used to teach US history.
So when I engage in all, as I begin to engage
in all things Cayuga, I want to know more about the history
and I've been trying to study it up and learn
about the institution and the community that so many
of you have had hands in building over the years.
And what I'm learning is that the college,
when the college started,
it began with some entrepreneurial leadership
in the vision and a committed and talented faculty
and a wonderful group of students.
And following that through, it began with one campus,
then it added another campus, and all of you know the history.
But in addition to the two campuses,
[inaudible] learning hybrid courses, non-credit initiatives,
workforce partnerships, micro credentials, and more.
So when I come to this in 2019 and I'm trying to learn from all
of you and understand where we're going together,
I realize that there is a wonderful range
of diverse offerings of education and training,
that they're roundly supported
and certainly there's a need in the community.
And where I think we need to focus is
on getting everyone here to [inaudible]
and as [inaudible] possible and integrate those offerings
in many different ways.
And [inaudible] and the process in the how it feels
and how it [inaudible] to the students, to employers,
to transfer institutions, and everyone else.
And I think [inaudible] is
to pay attention to that integration.
So overall, the goal that I'd like to set for the folks
that I work with everyday is cohesive excellence
and an academic integrity regardless
of location, format, or delivery.
[Inaudible] different ways and I want to make sure that we do it
in all those ways with everything I just said
and be responsive to the needs.
>> Okay. Any questions for Dr. Cantor?
Alright. Do you have a report
of the administrative services group?
Certainly want to commend the capital projects and building
and grounds group for a lot of work thus far.
And hopefully successful completion.
>> Could we have a report on the leadership conference?
>> Oh, absolutely.
Mr. Corcoran, you want to talk about the leadership conference?
Thank you.
>> A week ago Tuesday we held our second annual college
leadership conference for everyone
who supervises employees in the institution.
We had 34 participants, Ms. Marian dropped in for lunch
and addressed the group.
The morning was dedicated to discussing development
and more specifically we had State [inaudible] Fisher,
doctoral candidates in here conducting a focus group
with our supervisors back in the spring to talk
about what are their development needs, where should be go
in terms of offering a very full complemented development
for supervisors going forward.
So we heard a preliminary report out of that.
We broke out into groups and we looked
into at a very high level, what are some key areas
where we have strengths, things are going well,
there are opportunities in [inaudible].
The afternoon was dedicated to change managements.
And we had Elizabeth Burn, who's an adjunct here who led us
through some exercises and training on change management
and accountability, specifically how can leaders better support
the institution in terms
of all the changes happening just [inaudible] ongoing forever
and ever.
We're in the process of evaluating that.
With have some next steps that the leadership team took to look
at the evaluation and then put together a menu of items
for 2019-20 to include discourse groups,
[inaudible] at our all employee development day next March.
And then of course next summer, we're already thinking
about getting the date on calendar for our [inaudible].
>> Thanks.
Thanks. Any other questions
on the administrative services group?
Move onto Rosenthal.
>> Good morning.
August is always a very busy time of year
with students completing their enrollment process,
paying their bill, registering for classes, and taking care
of getting their books and just getting ready
for the fall semester.
So it's a very busy time for staff as well.
And I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work
of both the, that do all of that work in the admissions office,
the student engagement office, [inaudible] office,
the registrar's office, all the faculty and staff
that are gearing up for fall.
It's a very busy time of year.
But it's also very exciting.
I think there's a lot of optimism and a lot of enthusiasm
about starting a semester again.
Starting the year again.
So I just wanted to take a moment to thank them for all
of the work that they do.
Enrollment is moving in the direction
that we thought it would.
Students are registering
and we are moving towards our targets for each term.
I think we'll have a much better sense of where we're going
to land in about a month or so.
I anticipate we'll be in the ballpark, as they say,
but the numbers are the numbers when they come in, so.
I'd be happy to answer any questions
that people might have.
Linda.
>> Speaking of ballparks.
Do you have any sense of how the development
of the athletic facilities is encouraging enrollment?
Do you have those numbers broken out yet?
>> I don't, but I can tell you anecdotally,
Lattimore Hall is full.
>> Oh.
>> And that tells me that we're doing a better job
of recruiting individuals from out of the area in aid housing.
I can't make that direct connection.
But I do think that's a good sign.
That, because I would say probably Lattimore Hall is
typically about 50% athletes.
And so when we have a full Lattimore Hall, that bodes well
for I think things like our athletic program.
And some of the other athletic programs
that draw students from out of the area.
>> Okay, thank you, Jeff.
>> Just a real-- if Lattimore Hall is full, do we,
I know we don't provide housing, do we provide any support
at all, who didn't get into Lattimore Hall,
of finding local, additional housing options?
>> We do. On a limited basis.
The student engagement office maintains a list
of housing opportunities.
And we have some communication with landlords in the area
and they share with us information
about availability and opportunities.
In working with the dean of students, Dr. Cathy Dotterer,
she and I are looking at a possibility of revising
that process and to see where it best should be linking
and overseeing.
Because I do think that we can probably do a better job
of helping students from out
of the area identify housing for themselves.
Obviously Lattimore Hall is, we have a distinguished partnership
with them, but not everyone wants to live
in that kind of an environment so.
There's always more that we can do.
>> Okay, great, thank you.
>> Any other questions for Dr. Rosenthal?
Alright. Mr. Charles, do you have a report?
[ Inaudible ]
>> And then next week we do it all over again.
[ Inaudible ]
>> Thank you.
Mr. [Inaudible].
>> Just a couple quick updates for [inaudible] were able
to join us for the circle dinner.
[ Inaudible ]
But he's sending out the annual appeal end
of next week [inaudible].
And now we're also [inaudible] invitation that most
of you [inaudible] about three weeks before the annual
presidential's powers and [inaudible] Emerson lunch in.
That is September 27th here on this campus.
And then [inaudible] chairman [inaudible].
But [inaudible] invitation, we hope you will come.
That's one of the [inaudible] of the administration for all
of the school district
and [inaudible] counselors to meet [inaudible].
And we'll have one of the scholars be talking that day
as we have the last couple years and making a presentation.
We are losing our administration assistant upstairs.
She's moving onto another foundation.
We're very happy for her and so we're on the search right now.
I do want to thank [inaudible],
done a wonderful job helping us get the word out and try
to get [inaudible] in.
So we appreciate the [inaudible] very supportive of us.
And last but not least,
we do have a craft fair on the mind upstairs.
It is the 7th and 8th of December.
We are moving [inaudible] that and about, I want to say
at this stage, more than 2,000 are [inaudible] two,
three weeks ago.
Two or three dozen vendors already.
So we think we're on track.
And we should [inaudible] this year.
[Inaudible] bigger space for items on campus.
And last but not least [inaudible] Gettysburg is
sold out.
Professor [inaudible] has a great [inaudible] out
and about four weeks to Gettysburg.
He does a wonderful job for us.
And then we are releasing our open spaces
for the New York trip.
Which is usually around the, Veteran's Day [inaudible], so.
[Inaudible] foundation [inaudible] any
questions [inaudible].
>> Any questions?
Okay. Moving on.
We have no old business.
But we have several items of new business.
First and foremost we need to accept the resignation,
with regret, of trustee Daddabbo.
She had to step down for personal reasons.
And I would like to accept her resignation with regret
and with great appreciation for the contributions
that she made while she was here.
She brought a unique, important perspective to the board.
And she will be missed.
We have been in conversation with, in communication
with the SUNY appointments office about trying
to fill her position, and that is a gubernatorial appointment.
We have no update from them at this time.
We'll hope that that [inaudible] on.
We do have several other items of new business.
And we have them in the form of resolutions.
So I would ask for, I will read the appointment
or the resolutions and ask for your support.
Item 6.2, temporary--
>> We need a motion to add those to the agenda.
>> Oh, thank you.
So moved.
>> Thank you.
>> Second.
>> All in favor?
>> Aye.
>> Thank you!
>> Thank you.
>> I think we needed appointment,
training for the board chair on parliamentary procedure.
>> Is there just one?
>> There are three.
>> Can I have the title of them so I can add to that motion?
>> Yes. Item 6.2 is temporary appointment
of a chief financial officer.
Item 6.3 is additional responsibilities
and compensation.
That's the title for, same title for 6.4 as well.
But there are different types.
So the first resolution, 6.2, temporary appointment
of the chief financial officer, resolved,
the board of trustees authorizes president Brian M Durant
to establish the position of chief financial officer
and provides the authority to make an appointment
within the established salary range.
I'll make that in the form of a motion.
Can I have a second?
>> Second.
>> Any discussion?
>> Yeah, I would just like to say.
So you know, as many of you are aware, over the summer,
our vice president for administration,
Dr. [inaudible] has left the organization
and that has left me with a chance to sort
of begin the review process of that area.
And you know, we're in need
to establish the temporary positions needed
to continue the work.
I will say staff has done an amazing job
of growing together, working together.
And these resolutions, all of them, are interrelated
to a staffing plan that's essentially at least temporary
to ensure that the leadership, the responsibilities,
and the work that needs to be done at the high levels
at the college in a way that's there.
So I certainly, I recommend each of these
and ask for your support.
As for the global college community, once the--
once the positions and appointments are more
in final form, we will be creating an internal
communication that illustrates what the change
in responsibilities are to the organization
and that way everyone has clarity as to what it is.
Just trying to work through all the formal technical pieces
to ensure that we don't have any missteps.
And this is one of those steps to be taken today.
>> Brian, can I just ask,
should we add the word treasurer to the CFO?
CFO's [inaudible] treasurer--
>> Yes, but that's in the job description, so.
>> Okay. Could I have an amendment to--
a proposed change to that.
>> I move that we add treasurer to the description.
>> Second.
>> Any further discussion?
>> Thank you.
>> [Inaudible] motion to approve?
>> As amended.
>> As amended?
>> All in favor.
>> Second.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, we have a second, okay.
All in favor?
>> Aye.
>> Thank you.
[ Inaudible ]
Item 6.3, additional responsibilities
and compensation.
Resolved, effective August 1st, 2019, in recognition
of additional responsibilities assumed due
to the vacant vice president
of administration/treasurer position, the annual salary
for the following employees is established, Thomas J Corcoran,
director of human resources, 92,500.
He's in the management confidential group.
Jeffrey Rosenthal, vice president for student affairs,
120,000 dollars, he's in the executive group.
I'll make that in the form of a motion.
>> Second.
>> Any discussion?
This I believe requires roll call vote.
>> I'm coaching [inaudible] thank you.
6.3. Ms. Brown.
>> Yes.
>> Ms. Carnicelli.
>> Yes.
>> Ms. Hutchinson.
>> Yes.
>> Mr. Klink.

additional responsibilities and compensation.
Resolved, effective August 1st, 2019, in recognition
of additional responsibilities assumed due
to the vacant vice president
of administration/treasurer position, the annual salary
for the following employee is established,
Pam Helene [phonetic], executive assistant to the president,
63,000, and she is in the management confidential group.
Make that in the form of a motion.
>> Second.
>> Any discussion?
>> Thank you Pam for all you do.
>> Thank you very much.
>> 6.4.
>> Yeah.
>> Ms. Brown.
>> Yes.
>> Ms. Carnicelli.
>> Yes.
>> Ms. Hutchinson.
>> Yes.
>> Mr. Klink.
>> Yes.
>> Mr. Franceschelli.
>> Yes.
>> Mr. Charles.
>> Yes.
>> Dr. Van Buskirk.
>> Yes.
>> Okay. Moving onto communications.
We have one that's in your packet, very nice thank you note
from our trustees memorial scholarship recipient Bailey
Filer [phonetic].
We're very pleased, she was pleased, so.
Information in your packet we have the 19-20 trustee
attendance in county legislature [inaudible].
Those have been changed due to [inaudible].
>> Replace those in your calendars based
on Angela Daddabbo's resignation.
Those have changed.
So if you put something in last month,
please review your assignments and make a change if necessary.
Thank you.
>> Okay.
>> We have the board of trustees contact list.
The video and phone conference procedure for board meetings.
The 19-20 board and committee meeting dates.
And I just would mention that board meetings
of course are public meetings
but also the committee meetings are public meetings.
So if any members of the public wish
to attend those committee meetings, they may do so.
We have the ever-growing acronym list in their meetings.
And then we have the open meeting executive session law.
Do we adjourn the regular meeting?
>> Yeah, we're going to go into a work session.
>> Okay. So could I have a motion
to adjourn the regular meeting?
>> So moved.
>> Second.
>> And all those in favor?
>> Aye.
>> The board will be moving into a work session.
But thank you all for coming.
