AFTER THIS MEETING, WE HAVE ONE LEFT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO LET'S APPRECIATE THE SHORT AGENDA BECAUSE I CAN ASSURE YOU THE NEXT ONE WILL BE TAKING CARE OF QUITE A BIT OF BUSINESS.

THERE ARE THINGS I WANT TO UPDATE THE BOARD ON.

APPRECIATE THE BOARD ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET EARLIER TODAY WITH THE CEO OF MICROSOFT. HE WAS IN TOWN MEETING WITH ABOUT 15 OF US HERE IN THE COMMUNITY.

AS THIS IS ONE OF MICROSOFT'S LARGEST HUBS AND IS CONTINUING TO GROW. ALSO, THIS FOLLOWS LAST MONTH'S ROUND TABLE AT EL CENTRO COLLEGE WITH GOOGLE CEO, DR. CHY EXAMINATION OF THE I.T. PROGRAM CERTIFICATE.

AND I APPRECIATE CHAIR FLORES AND TRUSTEE COMPTON AND BRAVO FOR ATTENDING THAT. WE'RE SEEING INCREASINGLY THE WHAT IS COMING TOGETHER, APPRECIATE THE WORK AT EL CENTRO WHERE WE HAVE INDUSTRY-BASED CERTIFICATIONS THAT HAVE GREAT VALUE IN THE ECONOMY. AND [INDISCERNIBLE] AMONG THE INDUSTRY, BUT AREN'T RECOGNIZED BY EDUCATION.

AND SO THE WORK AT EL CENTRO IS TAKING THOSE CERTIFICATIONS BUT THEM INTO CREDIT BARING COURSES AND PROGRAMS SO STU STUDENTS GEE CREDIT AND CERTIFICATION. I BELIEVE ALL 28 STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO GET JOBS IMMEDIATELY. AVERAGE ABOUT 53,000 A YEAR.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: I DON'T KNOW IF OTHER PICTURES ARE GOING TO COME UP, THE BOTTOM PICTURES, WE CAN'T SEE THEM.

>> TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE REGIONAL BLACK CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION RECENTLY PRESENTED THE DCCCD WITH INDUSTRY PARTNER OF THE YEAR AWARD, HIGHLIGHTING A PARTNERSHIP FOCUSING IN CONSTRUCTION EDUCATION TO PREPARE FORMERLY INCARCERATED MEN AND WOMEN TO REENTER THE WORKFORCE.

100 STUDENTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TRAINING AT THE CEDAR VALLEY AT THE SOUTH VALLEY TRAINING SINCE JUNE OF 2019.

THIS IS INVOLVED WITH WORK READY YOU, GLORIOUS [INDISCERNIBLE] AND RALPH ADAMS WITH THE [INDISCERNIBLE] DR. SEABROOKS

[00:05:04]

I KEEP HEARING GLOWING REPORTS OF THE JOBS THEY ARE ABLE TO GET BECAUSE OF THE TRAINING. WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW TO EXPAND PROGRAM SO WE CAN TAKE MORE IN AS WE GET MORE IN THE AREA.

THE SOUTHEAST DALLAS HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RECOGNIZED CHAIR FLORES FOR HER CONTRIBUTIONS TO HIGHER EDUCATION SINCE 1996, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE [INDISCERNIBLE] A LITTLE BIT. AND FOR SUPPORT OF [INDISCERNIBLE] GROVE AREA AND AWARDED HER THE [INDISCERNIBLE] SO CONGRATULATIONS, CHAIR FLORES.

I WANT TO ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN I SD AND EASTFIELD COLLEGE AND TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY.

WE HAD THIS RELATIONSHIP TO TAKE STUDENTS FROM HIGH SCHOOL COMMUNITY OLLEGE, THIS WILL BE BEGIN THE SPRING OF 2020.

APPRECIATE DR. PEELER AND HIS TEAM WORKING WITH THE FOLKS NOT ONLY WITH ISD BUT WITH TEXAS TECH TO ALLOW THIS ASSOCIATE DEGREE THAT WILL TRANSFER SEAMLESSLY INTO THE BACCALAUREATE WITH TECH. AND CERTAINLY A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT. ALSO, FOLLOWING A RECENT ORK SESSION ON EMPLOYEE VERSION INCLUSION THE DISTRICT INCLUDED THE EQUITY AND DIVERSITY EMPLOY SURVEY.

WE'LL GET THAT INFORMATION OUT TO YOU.

ONE OF THE INITIATIVES THAT WAS LAUNCHED WAS THE LATINO EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP, ATTENDED BY CHAIR FLORES AND TRUSTEE BRAVO.

THE GOAL W OF INCREASING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS WE EXPAND THOSE. ALSO, MENTIONED THAT EARLIER I HAD A CONVERSATION TODAY WITH THE NEW COMMISSIONER OF HIGHER EDUCATION. AND I'M EXCITED TO SAY E'RE NOW OFFICIALLY A BACCALAUREATE GRANTING INSTITUTION AT BROOKHAVEN COLLEGE.

>> CHANCELLOR MAY: THIS IS NOT THE END OF IT.

WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE OTHER ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS AND GET APPROVAL. BUT WE'VE CLEARED A MAJOR HURDLE GOING FORWARD. ALSO, WANT TO RECOGNIZE HE EFFORTS OF ALL OF OUR COLLEGES. AND LEADERSHIP AS THEY MOBILIZE AND RESPOND TO STUDENT AND EMPLOYS IMPACTED BY THE STORMS THAT HIT OUR AREA A FEW WEEKS AGO.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THERE ARE ITEMS FROM RICHLAND COLLEGE THEY PUT TO EAL ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEEDS THAT OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF A STORM WE RECEIVED. COURSES, CLASSES OFFERED [INDISCERNIBLE] YOU WILL SEE A PUBLICATION THAT PROVIDES RESOURCES AND IDENTIFIES WHAT OUR COLLEGES CAN DO TO HELP.

THERE HAVE BEEN DRIVES AND OTHER COLLEGES LOOKING AT HOW TO GET RESOURCES TOGETHER. FOUNDATION HAS BEEN RAISING DOLLARS TO SUPPORT THOSE STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES AS WELL.

SO REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK OF EVERYONE INVOLVED, LITERALLY HOURS WE HAD THINGS UP AND RUNNING.

AND ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT SO WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. I BELIEVE THE LAST COUNT, WE KNOW WE'VE HAD IN SOME FASHION OF ROUGHLY I THINK 88 STUDENT SAID OR SO AFFECTED BY THIS, AS WELL EMPLOYEES AND OTHERS.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AND MONITOR HOW WE CAN HELP STUDENTS STAY IN SCHOOL AND BE SUCCESSFUL.

I SHOULD SAY THAT -- MENTION THAT WE HAVE LAUNCHED OUR EMERGENCY AID FLAT FORM. IT WAS A PILOT THAT HAPPENED ALMOST EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME AS THE TORNADO HIT.

STUDENTS IN NEEDS, I BELIEVE 88 WERE EFFECTED.

$66,000 TO HELP THEM WITH THE NEEDS THEY HAD.

SO MADAM CHAIR, THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

[B. Announcements from the Board Chair and/or Trustees]

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU. ANYWAYANY BOARD MEMBERS HAVE CO?

>> I WOULD LIKE THE DISTRICT FOR ALLOWING ME TO ATTEND THE TRUSTEE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE THIS PAST MONTH IN OCTOBER.

[INDISCERNIBLE] CONTINUE MY TRUSTEE EDUCATION, IF YOU WILL, ONE OF THE FIVE-HOUR SESSIONS REGARDING GOVERNANCE, [INDISCERNIBLE] ISSUES. DEAL WITH FIRST AMENDMENT ON CAMPUS FIRST AMENDMENT ISSUES. VERY INFORMATIVE.

ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IS AS A TRUSTEE I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE LEARNING ABOUT THE LATEST THINGS THAT TAKE PLACE.

[00:10:04]

WE'RE ABLE TO MEET WITH PEERS FROM TRUSTEES OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES COMPARING DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND SEEING WHAT DIFFERENT [INDISCERNIBLE] ARE DOING IN CERTAIN AREAS. I WANT TO THANK TRUSTEE MONICA BRAVO AND VICE CHANCELLOR. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD SINCE 2012 WE DID A PRESENTATION TO THE CONFERENCE. I WAS PLEASED THE DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT GROUP WAS ABLE TO BE IN FRONT OF OUR PEERS AT THIS LEVEL. PART OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT THE [INDISCERNIBLE] BOND PACKAGE. NOT JUST DEALING WITH [INDISCERNIBLE] AND INFRASTRUCTURE MONEY BUT TALKING ABOUT STUDENT SUCCESS. AND OUR FOUR PILLARS OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT. WE'RE OBLIGED TO FOLLOW AS WE DO ANYTHING AS TRUSTEES FROM COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, EMPLOYEE ENHANCEMENTS, TUDENT SUCCESS AND INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS.

TO RELAY THOSE TYPES OF ISSUES AS TO WHY WE [INDISCERNIBLE] COMMUNITY AROUND US VOTED TO PROVIDE US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS AND REMOVE OBSTACLES FROM STUDENT SAID. THANK YOU, DISTRICT FAMILY FOR ALLOWING ME TO CONTINUE MY EDUCATION IN THAT AREA.

AND PUT OUR FOOT -- BEST FOOT FORWARD.

THANK YOU. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: ANY OTHER

TRUSTEES? >> M. BRAVO: AS TRUSTEE JAMESON STATED I ATTENDED THE CONFERENCE, WHICH WILL VERY HELPFUL. I ENCOURAGE RUSTEES TO JOIN US NEXT YEAR. A LOT TO LEARN.

NOT JUST FROM WHAT OTHER COLLEGES DO BUT TO BETTER OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. I ALSO GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE CONFERENCE AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER.

HISPANIC ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND UNIV UNIVERSITIES.

AND I ENCOURAGE MORE OF OUR COLLEGES TO SEND THEIR EMPLOYEES, ADMINISTRATORS TO THIS CONFERENCE.

I KNOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF OUR COLLEGES [INDISCERNIBLE] DESIGNATION, I DIDN'T SEE THEM ALL LISTED IN THE PROGRAM.

I'M HOPING NEXT YEAR TO GET THE HHI DESIGNATION AND GET THE FUNDING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.

LASTLY, IN CONTINUATION TO THE HOW TO PAY FOR COLLEGE FAIR, THAT STATE REPRESENTATIVE VICTORIA AND MYSELF HAVE GONE IN SEPTEMBER. WE'LL DO FOLLOW-UP FAFSA COMPLETION WORKSHOPS, SATURDAY FROM 9-12.

AND AT THE ACL COLLEGE MAIN CAMPUS, A SECOND ONE ON NOVEMBED COLLEGE. [INDISCERNIBLE] IN THE AFTERNOON, WE ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP WITH FAFSA AND

TAFSA COMPLETION TO COME OUT. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: YES, TRUSTEE

COMPTON. >> C. COMPTON: ON THE BOARD AGENDA, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PAGE NUMBERS.

WHICH FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT PLAN SELECTIONS.

IT SAYS UNDER AGENDA PAGE 40 THAT THE ACTUAL NUMBER UNDER THE AGENDA IS PAGE 40 [INDISCERNIBLE].

SOMETHING IS OFF FOR SOME REASON.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT, TRUSTEE COMPTON. ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS? I WOULD LIKE TO [INDISCERNIBLE] WHAT DR. MAY SAID HOW OUR STAFF, COLLEGE PRESIDENTS, AND OTHERS MOBILIZED TO HELP THOSE THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THE STORMS. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THE FOUND ACTION WAS ABLE TO ROLL OUT EMERGENCY AID FUNDING FOR STUDENTS AND HOPEFULLY STAFF ALSO.

ON BAON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, THK YOU TO TRUSTEE BRAVO AND DR. LONON FOR REPRESENTING US AT ACCT. YOU ALL WERE GREAT SO THANK YOU FOR REPRESENTING US SO WELL.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK DR. JUDITH -- DR. JOSEPH.

I KNEW THAT SOUNDED WRONG THE MINUTE IT CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH.

DR. JOSEPH AND HER STAFF FOR HELPING HOST THE BINATIONAL HEALTH FAIR ON SATURDAY, OCTOBE. IN COLLABORATION WITH BLUE LACK.

THE COUNCIL FOR MEDICAL IN [INDISCERNIBLE] IN PERU.

[00:15:02]

FREE MEDICAL SERVICES SUCH AS MAMMOGRAMS, DENTAL AND VISION SCREENINGS WERE OFFERED. THEY WERE ABLE TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY PARTNERS, ARKLAND, BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD AND 100 THERS. THANK YOU TO HER AND HER TEAM FOR THE GREAT PARTNERSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY.

I FELT INVITED BY THE CEDAR VALLEY COLLEGE LEGAL ACTION TEAM TO SPEAK TO HISPANIC HERITAGE ON OCTOBER 15.

I WAS GLAD TO DO THAT SO THANK YOU DR. SEABROOK AND THE COLLEGE. I WAS INSPIRED THIS PAST FRIDAY IN ATTENDING THE HISPANIC BANQUET.

AWARDED 23 SCHOLARSHIPS. DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS DONE THE SCHOLARSHIPS WERE AWARDED TO A LOT OF CERTIFICATE STUDENTS.

WHEN YOU SEE SEE THE STUDENTS YOU UNDERSTAND THEY OME FROM CHALLENGING BACKGROUNDS. SOME WERE GRADUATES FROM DALLAS COUNTY ACADEMIES. A SECOND-CHANCE HIGH SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS THAT DON'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE REGULAR HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE. AND OTHERS WANTING TO GET THEIR CERTIFICATE IN PHLEBOTOMY AND I FORGET THE OTHERS.

JUST THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY IS BELIEVING IN THEM BY PROVIDING THEM A SCHOLARSHIP, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE IMPACT IT'S GOING TO HAVE ON THEM. FOR THEM TO HOPEFULLY B BE INSPIRED BY THAT TO MOVE BEYOND THE CERTIFICATE AND GO ON AND GET A DEGREE. SEVERAL SAID THEY WANTED TO BE NURSES. TWO OR THREE SAID THEY NEEDED TO GET A SKILL SO THEY COULD [INDISCERNIBLE] MONETARILY SO JUST INSPIRING. I THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY, DR. [INDISCERNIBLE] IS HERE. TO HELP LEAD THE EFFORT.

WITH THE SUPPORT FROM EASTFIELD. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I THINK YOU ARE ABOUT THE ONLY ORGANIZATION I KNOW OF THAT AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDENTS IN THESE CATEGORIES.

>> CORRECT.

MUCH FOR THE WORK YOU DO. AS THE CHANCELLOR SAID, THAT ARE GROUPS BEGINNING TO BE FORMED IN THE DISTRICT.

THE LATINO EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP, WHICH HAS YET TO BE NAMED. LAUNCHED AT EL CENTRO CAMPUS.

I WAS INVITED TO ATTEND. F I HINK ALL OF THE BOARD WERE AS WERE THE PRESIDENTS AND DIFFERENT ARRAY OF PEOPLE FROM THE DISTRICT. DR. -- NOT DOCTOR, TRUSTEE RITTER, WHEN HE WAS AT T.I., IF HE HAD BEEN AT GROUPS OF VISTA, AND HE SAID YES. ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.

WE'RE REALLY BEHIND IN THAT AREA BECAUSE DIVERSITY IS ONE OF OUR STRENGTHS. STRENGTHS.

WE HAVE STUDENTS FROM HOW MANY COUNTRIES? BUT YET WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE THEY CAN RELATE TO.

WE CAN'T HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM EACH OF THE 100 COUNTRIES.

BUT TO THE EXTENT OF THE MAJOR GROUPS.

TRUSTEE RITTER WAS A RESOURCE FOR THE NDIAN GROUP FROM THE COUNTRY OF INDIA. AS WE KNOW RIGHT NOW, I'M SURE THAT WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE, WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT THE VAST NUMBER OF STUDENTS REPRESENTED AT DECISION-MAKE LEVELS. THE EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS CAN BE A RESOURCE TO PROVIDE THE VOICE FOR THOSE TUDENTS IN TERMS OF THE TYPES OF PROGRAMS WE OFFER, THE DIRECTIONS WE WANT TO GO. THOSE WHO ARE IN THE LEADERSHIP GROUP THAT LAUNCHED THIS IF YOU COULD PLEASE STAND SO WE CAN KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU, I THINK YOU ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL THE COLLEGES. WAS IT ONE FACULTY MEMBER,

MR. MARTINEZ? >>

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: GREAT. THANK YOU.

I'M XCITED TO HEAR THAT WORK HAS BEGUN ON THE AFRICAN AMERICAN RESOURCE GROUP. LED BY DR. TEALER.

DR. ADAMES AND JOSEPH, THANK YOU FOR LEADING THE EFFORT.

HOPEFULLYWE'LL HEAR SOON, WORKING WITH A GROUP TO DO THAT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. IT CAN ONLY PROVIDE POSITIVE WIN/WIN FOR THE DISTRICT AND STUDENTS.

DR. MAY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

[00:20:04]

BUT THE FIRST THAT ACTUALLY IS BEGINNING TO -- OT BEGINNING, WALKING THE WALK IN THIS AREA. SO THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.

AND AS I SAID, IT CAN ONLY [INDISCERNIBLE] DISTRICT [INDISCERNIBLE]. OKAY.

>> I WANT TO CLARIFY ONE THING. >> CHANCELLOR MAY: I SAID STUDENT AND EMPLOYEES. WORKING THROUGH THE EMPLOYEE PIECE RIGHT NOW ON THE SUPPORT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO RUN IT THROUGH PAYROLL. AND THEY END UP PAYING TAXES.

WE'RE WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES FOUNDATION.

AND ALSO WORKED WITH ANOTHER GROUP TO MANAGE THAT FOR THEM.

SO THAT'S GOING TO TAKE US A LITTLE WHILE TO GET THROUGH THAT PIECE. I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE --

>> CHANCELLOR MAY: HEALTH FOR FOLKS [INDISCERNIBLE] A SET DONATION FOR OTHERS. BUT FOR US COLLECTING DOLLARS THROUGH THE FOUNDATION, GIVING IT TO EMPLOYEES, WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT GOING THROUGH PAYROLL LEGALLY.

THAT CREATE AS TAX LIABILITY THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

JUST, TRUSTEE COMPTON. >> C. COMPTON: I HAVE A QUESTION I WOULD LIKE CLARIFICATION ABOUT SOMETHING.

[INDISCERNIBLE] IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ORGANIZATIONS OR WHATEVER, THAT THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THE SPACE THAT THEY HAD AT THIS EVENT.

AND IF THAT'S TRUE, WHAT I WOULD LIKE THE ANSWER TO OR WANT TO KNOW IS THAT WHO IS RECEIVING THOSE FUNDS? THE [INDISCERNIBLE] RECIPIENT OR ANY REVENUE OR [INDISCERNIBLE]

MADE [INDISCERNIBLE] >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THE MAIN ONE WHO ORGANIZED THE BINATIONAL HEALTH FAIR.

MOUNTAIN VIEW PROVIDED THE SPACE.

BUT I WILL ASK THE QUESTION. >> C. COMPTON: YOU ARE NOT AWARE

OF THE [INDISCERNIBLE] SPACE? >> CHAIR D. FLORES: NO, I'M NOT AWE'RE PEOPLE WERE BEING CHARGED SPACE.

[INDISCERNIBLE] SERVICES, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE THAT WAS LIKE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AN EXHIBIT TABLE?

>> C. COMPTON: YEAH [INDISCERNIBLE].

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THAT I'M NOT AWARE OF.

I KNOW THAT ALL OF THE SERVICES WERE PROVIDED FREE TO THOSE WHO ATTENDED TO RECEIVE THE SERVICES.

I'LL FIND OUT ABOUT THE OTHER. >> C. COMPTON: IT'S NOT IN THE

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> CHAIR D. FLORES: DR. JOSEPH, DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER? IF YOU COULD COME TO THE

MICROPHONE. >> YES, MA'AM.

MOUNTAIN VIEW PROVIDES THE SPACE.

WE DON'T CHARGE ANYTHING. WE WACK WAS THE ORGANIZATION THAT TOOK CARE OF THE ARRANGEMENTS.

IF THEY CHARGED ANYBODY, IT WOULD BE THEM THAT WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE FUNDS. THE COLLEGE DID NOT RECEIVE

MONEY. >> C. COMPTON: YOU ARE SAYING YOU DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY CHARGED?

>> I DO NOT KNOW, MA'AM. I'M ADDRESSING THE QUESTION.

THE COLLEGE DID NOT RECEIVE FUNDS.

>> C. COMPTON: I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

MAINLY BECAUSE [INDISCERNIBLE] NONPROFIT, WE DON'T CHARGE NONPROFITS FOR USE. [INDISCERNIBLE] I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE NOBODY KNOWS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION.

[INDISCERNIBLE] ORGANIZATIONS [INDISCERNIBLE] AN AMOUNT TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT. [INDISCERNIBLE] FUNDRAISING BUSINESS FOR A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. >> I WILL FIND OUT.

>> C. COMPTON: IF THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, [INDISCERNIBLE] WHY ISN'T THE SAME OPPORTUNITY BEING OFFERED TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS? [INDISCERNIBLE] I GUESS I WANT AN ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

>> I WILL FIND OUT. >> WE'LL FIND THAT OUT.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: I WOULD NOT INTERPRET -- THAT'S YOUR OPINION TRUSTEE COMPTON AND CERTAINLY YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO YOUR OPINION. THAT'S NOT HOW I SEE IT.

AS A NONPROFIT IN TERMS OF WHERE I WORK, WHEN WE HAVE AN VENT WE HAVE TO COVER STAFF COST. IT'S NOT STAFF DON'T WO WORK FOR FREE. A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED TO BE ABLE TO ONE, HAVE ACCESS TO THIS COMMUNITY.

AND WO, TO BRING ALL OF THAT TOGETHER AND PROVIDE ALL OF THE SERVICES. I WOULD NOT SEE IT AS

[00:25:01]

WE CHARGE BUT IT'S TO BASICALLY COVER STAFF COSTS.

>> C. COMPTON: WELL, IT'S [INDISCERNIBLE] WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT IF WE'RE DOING IT FOR ONE ORGANIZATION, THEN WE SHOULD BE DOING IT FOR ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS.

AND GIVING THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY.

AND I'M NOT ONLY [INDISCERNIBLE] I HAVE SAT ON THE BOARDS FOR NONPROFITS. NORMALLY WHEN THEY ARE CHARGING AN AMOUNT, IT'S NOT ONLY TO DEFRAY EXPENSES [INDISCERNIBLE] BUT [INDISCERNIBLE] MONEY FOR [INDISCERNIBLE] ORGANIZATIONS EVEN IF IT'S [INDISCERNIBLE]. THE ONLY THING THAT I'M SAYING IS THAT IF WE'RE DOING IT FOR ONE ORGANIZATION, THEN WE NEED TO DO IT FOR [INDISCERNIBLE] ORGANIZATION SHOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY. THAT'S MY POINT.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: I KNOW WHEN I REFER TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO USE SPACE ON OUR CAMPUSES, THEY HAVE NEV NEVER BEEN CHARGED. WHEN I REFERRED SOMEONE, THEY WANTED TO USE EITHER A MEETING SPACE OR SUCH AS WHAT HAPPENED HERE, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED IF IT'S A NONPROFIT.

IF THERE IS AN IDEA THEY HAVE -- >> C. COMPTON: NO, I'VE BEEN PROVIDED WITH THE POLICY THAT SAYS THERE IS NO CHARGE TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. [INDISCERNIBLE] THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'M TRYING TO CLARIFY.

IS YOU KNOW, IF THEY PAID FOR THE [INDISCERNIBLE] AND THAT'S WHAT THE MONEY WAS FOR, FINE. IF THEY MADE MONEY OVER AND ABOVE WHAT THE EXPENSES WERE NOW CHARGING PEOPLE TO ARTICIPATE, THEN EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE NONPROFIT. THAT'S MY ONLY THING I'M SAYING ABOUT THE WHOLE THING. AND I MEAN [INDISCERNIBLE]

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: AMEN. I NEVER HEARD WE'RE NOT PROVIDING EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. I NEVER HEARD WE DON'T PROVIDE OTHERS AN OPPORTUNITY. IF THAT WERE THE CASE, IT [INDISCERNIBLE] THAT WAY. AMEN TO THAT.

>> WE'LL REVIEW THE POLICY, TRUSTEE COMPTON.

I KNOW WE LOOKED AT IT RECENTLY ON SOME QUESTIONS.

I KNOW WHAT PART OF IT SAYS BUT NOT ALL OF IT.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

[5. Consent Agenda (Consent Agenda items may be approved by a single motion and vote or, alternatively, upon request of a Trustee(s); any listed item can be removed and considered individually.)]

WE HAVE A SHORT CONSENT CALENDAR.

IT'S ITEM 5A, B, AND C. >> D. ZIMMERMANN: I HAVE A

QUESTION ON C1. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: LET US PUT IT ON THE TABLE. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION 5A, B, AND C UNLESS A TRUSTEE WANTS ONE OR MORE TO BE CONSIDERED

SEPARATELY. >> P. RITTER: I HAVE A QUESTION

ON C1. >>

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: DO YOU WANT IT CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.

>> [INDISCERNIBLE] LOSS OF LIFE. WE CORRECTED THAT.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: IF WE COULD PUT IT ON THE TABLE FIRST FOR DISCUSSION. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T WANT IT CONSIDERED SEPARATELY. OKAY.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS

5A, B, AND C. >> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: MOVED AND SECONDS. VICE CHAIR JAMESON MOVED AND TRUSTEE BRAVO SECONDED. MR. WENLAND, YOU GOT THE

QUESTIONS. >> [INDISCERNIBLE] INADVERTENT REFERENCE TO THE VERSION YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TO LOSS OF LIFE.

THANKFULLY, THERE WAS NO LOSS OF LIFE WITH THE RECENT TORNADIC EVENTS. THAT WOULD BE THE ONE WE SIGNED IF APPROVED BY THE BOARD WHICH TAKES OUTS REFERENCE TO LOSS OF LIFE. IT REFERS TO PROPERTY DAMAGE AND

DESTRUCTION. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS? >> D. ZIMMERMANN: 5C1, THE APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA [INDISCERNIBLE] MORE THAN ONE YEAR? THIS IS THE ONLY ONE WE'RE WORKING ON NOW IS FOR THE

UPCOMING YEAR? >> THIS RESOLUTION ALLOWS THAT YOU APPROVE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT TO GO BACK RIGHT NOW AND REAPPRAISE PROPERTIES UNDER THE DAMAGED CONDITION THEY ARE AND GIVE A NEW APPRAISAL AMOUNT.

IT IS FOR THE CURRENT TAX YEAR, 2019.

[00:30:05]

THE IMPACT THIS YEAR IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE MINIMAL IN TAX REVENUE. FOR TAX YEAR 2020 WHICH STARTS JANUARY 1ST ON THE APPRAISAL, WE EXPECT TO SEE A LARGE INCREASE IN THE TOTAL TAX BILL VALUES SPECIFICALLY FROM THE

AREAS DAMAGED BY THE TORNADO. >> AS I UNDERSTOOD TRUSTEE ZIMMERMANN'S QUESTION ABOUT THE TIMEFRAME.

IT'S ONLY FOR THIS YEAR BECAUSE NEXT YEAR THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT DOES A NEW APPRAISAL. [INDISCERNIBLE]

>> NEXT QUESTION. THIS IS NOT INTENTIONAL.

AND I'M SORRY. BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT.

TODAY IS ELECTION DAY. THERE IS ACTUALLY A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BEFORE THE VOTERS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. THIS RELEASED A PROVISION YOU ARE ACTING ON TONIGHT, THE OLD LAW, AMENDED.

IT'S A CURRENT LAW IT WAS AMENDED BY THE LEGISLATIVE IN THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION. IT'S GOING TO THE VOTERS.

IF IT'S APPROVED BY THE VOTERS, THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, THE LECTION DAY IS TODAY. IT WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT EFFECT AND WE WOULD HAVE TO DO A NEW RESOLUTION NEXT YEAR TO GET RELEASE OING FORWARD. IT CHANGES THE PROVISION.

WE DON'T NEED TO GET INTO IT. TODAY IS ELECTION DAY AND THAT'S

A MATTER BEFORE THE VOTERS. >>

> >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? IF NOT, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, "AYE." ANY OPPOSED? ANY ABSTAIN? THANK YOU. ITEM 6.

[6. Individual Items (Individual Agenda items may be approved by a single motion and vote or, alternatively, upon request of a Trustee(s); any listed item can be removed and considered individually.)]

>> [INDISCERNIBLE] ITEM A1, 2, 3, AND [INDISCERNIBLE] I MOVE

THAT WE APPROVE ALL ITEMS. >> SECOND.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION?

YES. >> D. ZIMMERMANN: 6A2, RON RUSSELL, WHO IS GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT TO GET OUR APPROVAL [INDISCERNIBLE] ON THE BOND PROJECTS. I THINK THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL TO GIVE HIM SOME HANDS ON BACKGROUND IN

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: ARE WE SET

UP FOR APPRENTICESHIPS? >> WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THAT WOULD BE A DISCUSSION FOR ANOTHER AGENDA. AT A WORK SESSION, CORRECT?

>> YEAH. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU FOR THAT, TRUSTEE ZIMMERMANN. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS ON THIS MOTION? IF NOT, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY, "AYE." -- YES, TRUSTEE COMPTON.

ABSTAINED? >> [INDISCERNIBLE] NEITHER FOR

OR AGAINST THE MOTION. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU, MR. RITTER. TALENT ITEM B, SANDRA SCOTT, IS RETIRING AFTER 32 YEARS OF SERVICE.

COMMENDED FOR THAT. SHE'S LEAVING AT A TIME WHEN THERE IS CHANGES IN THE PROGRAM. I WOULD IMAGINE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCITED TO BE INVOLVED IN THE CHANGES.

WE THANK HER FOR THE YEARS OF SERVICE.

WILLIAM DRAKE FROM MOUNTAIN VIEW COLLEGE RETIRING WITH 21 YEARS OF SERVICE. WE THANK HIM FOR MANY YEARS OF TEACHING OUR STUDENTS. POLICY ITEM FIRST EATING.

[A. Approval of Amendment to Policy Concerning Technology Resources - CR (LOCAL) Technology Resources - Computer Use Policy that Requires Creation of a Cyber Security Training Program for the District]

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? THIS WILL COME BACK NEXT MONTH FOR APPROVAL.

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: IS THERE A WAY TO PUT TEETH INTO IT?

[00:35:10]

ARE THERE ANY TEETH WE CAN PUT INTO THIS SO IF THERE WAS A FLAGRANT DISREGARD THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING IN POLICY THAT

WOULD THEN BE [INDISCERNIBLE]. >> THE POLICY IS FOR TRAINING.

IT'S A REQUIREMENT FOR [INDISCERNIBLE] TO TAKE THE TRAINING [INDISCERNIBLE] PROCEDURES TO ACCOMPANY THE POLICY HAT INDISCERNIBLE] OF THE TRAINING.

[INDISCERNIBLE] AS TO WHETHER SOMEONE CAN USE THE SYSTEM QUESTION OR THAT [INDISCERNIBLE] THE POLICY IS FOR TRAINING.

IT'S A REQUIREMENT FOR TO TAKE THE TRAINING.

I THINK YOU ARE ASKING AS TO WHETHER SOMEONE WOULD USE THE SYSTEM IN AN IMPROPER WAY. I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I'M NOT REALLY FOLLOWING THAT.

BUT I CAN DEFER TO TIM WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO.

>> SORRY. I'M JUST ENJOYING INTERRUPTING PEOPLE. THIS POLICY AMENDMENT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A RESULT OF A LEGISLATIVE CHANGE.

OUR CHIEF RISK OFFICER DAVID WILLIAMS IS HERE.

WE'RE AHEAD OF MOST OTHER SYSTEMS THAT ARE AT ISSUE WITH RESPECT TO WHAT DAVID IS DEVELOPING IN TERMS OF TRAINING AND PROCEDURES. THE BIGGEST AREA WE HAVE.

CYBERATTACK. THE DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION RESOURCES HAS NOT PROMULGATED THE PROCEDURES THAT THE LEGISLATURE DIRECTED THEM TO. WE'RE DEVELOPING PROCEDURES.

AND WE'VE TRAINING THAT IS ROBUST IN PLACE AND ENHANCING

THAT AS WELL. >> SPECIFICALLY, I LIKE YOUR USE OF THE WORD, TEETH. THERE ARE AUTOMATIC PROCEDURES IN PLACE THAT WILL NOT ALLOW SOME OF THOSE THINGS YOU TALKED ABOUT. IF YOU WALK AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER, IT WILL LOCK ITSELF OUT.

OTHER MATTERS THEY ACTUALLY ARE IF YOU DO CERTAIN THINGS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OUR ACTUALLY ILLEGAL.

IF YOU TRY TO TAKE SOMEBODY'S PASSWORD, YOU ARE NOT ONLY BREAKING POLICY, YOU ARE BREAKING LAW.

THE LAW IS MUCH MORE DRASTIC ABOUT HOW YOU REACT TO SOMEBODY DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAN OUR POLICY.

[8. Informative Reports]

WE DON'T HAVE A SOFTWARE POLICE TO STAND BEHIND EVERY ONE.

THANKFULLY WE DON'T HAVE THAT MANY DOING THAT WITHIN OUR WALLS NOW. I ALWAYS SAY NOW.

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: IT ONLY TAKES ONE.

>> WE'VE SEEN THEM. THEY WERE CREATIVE.

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: YES, THEY ARE. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THANK YOU, TRUSTEE ZIMMERMANN. WE'RE AT THE INFORMATIVE REPORTS. I UNDERSTAND TRUSTEE RITTER HAS A COMMENT ON THE FINANCE COMMITTEE NOTES.

>> P. RITTER: I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT DOING IT IN COMMITTEE EARLIER. WE'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH ABOUT THE LEVEL OF DETAIL TO PROVIDE IN THE MINUTES.

I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT INVOLVING THE DISCUSSION OF FOLLETT AND THE VOTE BY THE BOARD TO INCREASE TUITION WE ARTICULATE THE RATIONALE IN THE MINUTES.

SO I OFFER LANGUAGE AND I'LL PROVIDE TO MS. MOLINA THAT ADD TO THE MINUTES THE FOLLOWING. THE BOARD ENGAGED IN A DISCUSSION ABOUT COST SAVING STUDENTS WOULD RECEIVE BY NOT BUYING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND TEXTBOOK, THE OARD APPROVED AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CHANCELLOR.

AND ALSO DISCUSSION BY THE COMMITTEE OF THE EXPECTED IMPROVEMENT IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT BY MAKING MATERIALS AVAILABLE TO ALL STUDENTS N THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS.
