D. CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR
There were no items removed from the Consent Calendar.
E. OPERATIONAL REPORTS
Pat Barrett discussed the activities of the Food Services
Department. She reported that the food facilities operation consists of eight locations,
six on campus and two off campus. They also have a catering department that provides meals
for 90 children from our child care program, the Phase 2 special education program, the
Vista Women's Club, the San Marcos Boys' and Girls' Club, and the Migrant Education
program in the summer. They also work with seniors in the Town and Country and Via Verde
Estates. They cater for staff meetings, receptions, and weddings for staff members. They
service approximately 7,000 students and staff daily. The staff consists of eight contract
staff and 40 student and short-term employees. They work with special education programs,
such as PWI (Partners With Industry), R.O.P., and our own I.F.S. Department Food
Productions. Sales for the seven months ending in January were $730,000, which was $70,000
more than last year. The net income was $13,000 compared to a loss of $25,000 during the
same period last year. The facilities bring challenges in that the kitchen was designed 50
years ago for a population of 1,000. They now serve about 15,000 students and are still
using most of the same equipment. Most of the food orders are done via the computer with
several vendors. This allows them to receive immediate pricing and status on the product.
They are working closely with the students to improve their services.
Dr. Dougherty stated that he appreciates what has been done to
convert a money-losing program into one that is doing better than breaking even. It has
taken a great deal of talent, work, and committees doing some very wise and innovative
things. He appreciates Pat's part in making it profitable.
Mr. Scofield stated that he likes the idea of placing satellites in
several places on campus to make it convenient for everyone.
2. Fall, 1997, Athletic Report
John Woods introduced and congratulated some of the outstanding
athletes, coaches, and academic counselors who support our athletic programs. He noted in
particular that 17 out of the 23 sophomores on our football team will be transferring to
an upper-division institution with full-ride scholarships.
Mr. Jensen particularly thanked Sherry Titus for participating in a
Res-Ball coaching clinic. She is not only very knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher, but
she enjoys what she is doing.
3. Update on Achievement of ASG Goals
Erica Olvera introduced four members of ASG, who spoke regarding
their efforts in achieving ASG's goals this year. T. J. Quigley reported on the Student
Center election planned for April 20-24, 1998; Oscar Lopez reported on the Satellite
Committee formed to address problems at the education centers; Tom Chambers reported on
ASG Goals and Social Events, on behalf of Elaine James; Katrina Baughman reported on the
activities of the Election Committee; and Loretta Murillo-Colton reported on activities of
the Budget and Finance Committee and Legislative Committee.
Ms. Hughes stated that it looks like the ASG has a lot of dedicated
people working for the College. Ms. Olvera stated that she feels very lucky to be working
with this group.
F. HEARINGS OF INDIVIDUALS, GROUPS, AND DELEGATIONS
1. INFORMATION
Report of the Faculty Senate
Mark Vernoy reported that the Senate has received from PAC the
Telecommunications User Policy and Procedures. The policy is coming to the Board tonight,
and the procedures have been sent out to sunshine. They should be back in approximately a
month from the faculty. Once that is done, they will get the procedures back to PAC so
they may be implemented by the end of the semester.
2. INFORMATION
Report of The Faculty
Bruce Bishop reported that The Faculty is presently involved in
soliciting nominations for The Faculty Service Award. They are also planning for the
Faculty Awards Dinner Dance the night of graduation. All are invited to attend. Donations
are invited and encouraged.
3. INFORMATION
Report of the Administrative Association
There was no report.
4. INFORMATION
Report of the CCE/AFT
Ernie Carson congratulated Pat Barrett on the impressive report she
presented and thanked her for working with the classified unit on issues. They have made a
lot of progress.
Last week at the classified staff meeting, nominations were held for
next year's officers. Once again, Ernie was nominated for President. Ballots will be sent
out next week, and the count will be verified in approximately two weeks after that.
For the past three years, the Executive Councils of the AFT and the
NEA have been meeting regarding merging these two organizations. Since January, they have
been working on the "Principles of Unity," for a united organization. A draft
has been presented, and both councils are near completion of reviewing it. It is possible
that an agreement on the principles will be accomplished by next month. They are
optimistic that it will be presented to the various states and their locals so that
mergers may take place by the end of this year.
5. INFORMATION
Report of the Associated Student Government
There was no report.
6. INFORMATION
Report of Superintendent
Dr. Boggs had reported previously that EOPS Counselor, Adele Flores,
was a 1997 Madrina Award winner from the Latina Network. She has been featured in the
latest issue of Esperanza, the publication of the Latina Leadership Network of the
California Community Colleges.
Jim Bowen has been selected as "The National Student Advisor of
the Year for 1997-98." Jim received his plaque and was recognized in ceremonies at
the recent conference of the American Student Association of Community Colleges in
Washington, D.C.
Dr. Boggs received a conference announcement recently on how to
organize conferences. He thought it would be a good thing to send to Bill Flynn until he
opened it and found that one of the featured speakers is Bill Flynn. He will be speaking
at the "Third Annual Advanced Marketing Conference" at Clemson University this
June. His topic is ">From Concept to Conference in Eight Months, Leveraging
Networks for Partnerships for Instant Credibility and Long-Term Benefits," the story
of how we developed the Learning Paradigm Conference.
Thanks to the efforts of Dale Wallenius, the Palomar College
Foundation recently received a $5,000 grant to fund equipment and software for the ESL lab
from the North County Times Charities Fund, which seeks to support literacy projects and
programs.
Dale also was instrumental in securing a $3,000 grant from the San
Marcos Community Foundation for the EOPS Emergency Fund. That grant required a match, so
the Foundation matched it so the students who need emergency help will have the funds
available.
Dr. Boggs invited the Board members to the Professional Achievement
Tea, which is scheduled for Wednesday, April 22, 2:30 to 4 p.m., in Performance Lab D-6.
This is the time we recognize faculty service, newly tenured faculty members, faculty and
staff members who publish, and faculty and staff who have been awarded advanced degrees.
There will be a reception tomorrow, March 25, at 4 p.m., in the
Staff Lounge for Stanford Professor, Jack Rakove, the winner of the 1997 Pulitzer Prize
for his book, "Original Meanings: Politics and Ideas in the Making of the
Constitution." Angelo Corpora will be interviewing him that evening for his
telecourse.
One of our former Board members, Dr. Bill Boyce, is retiring and
being recognized on Thursday, March 26, at the California Center for the Arts. He was a
Board member from 1977 through 1983. He served as Chairman in 1978-79 and 1981-82.
Our Dental Assisting program will be hosting an accreditation visit,
April 2 and 3. He expressed appreciation to Jean Landmesser for her extensive work on the
self-study.

RESOLUTION 97-18838
BE IT RESOLVED, That Exhibit H-1b, as submitted at the March
10, 1998, meeting by Dr. Mark Vernoy, Faculty Senate President, be approved.
Dr. Dougherty stated that he likes the idea presented as Exhibit
H-1b very much, but he feels it would be better to leave the titles off this time because
they need to be integrated at an earlier stage. He feels that next year, titles should be
inserted, as they are helpful. We have come so far in the process this year, however, that
it is not feasible.
Ms. Hughes stated that she put a lot into the goals as devised at
the retreat, and she likes them the way they are.
The motion was defeated.

MSC Dougherty, Hughes
RESOLUTION 97-18840
WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 53850 et seq. of the
Government Code of the State of California (the "Act") contained in Article 7.6
thereof, entitled "Temporary Borrowing," on or after the first day of any fiscal
year (being July 1), the Palomar Community College District (the "District")
may, pursuant to a resolution of its Governing Board (the "Board"), borrow money
by issuing notes for any purpose for which the District is authorized to expend moneys,
including but not limited to current expenses, capital expenditures, and the discharge of
any obligation or indebtedness of the District;
WHEREAS, the Board hereby determines that an amount (the
"Principal Amount") not to exceed One Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1,800,000) (the "Maximum Principal Amount"), which Principal Amount is to be
confirmed and set forth in the Pricing Confirmation (as defined in Section 4 hereof), is
needed for the requirements of the District to satisfy obligations of the District, and
that it is necessary that the Principal Amount be borrowed for such purpose by the
issuance of a temporary note therefor in anticipation of the receipt of taxes, revenue and
other moneys to be received by the District during or attributable to fiscal year 1998-99;
WHEREAS, it appears, and the Board hereby finds and
determines, that the Principal Amount, when added to the interest payable thereon, does
not exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of the estimated amount of the uncollected taxes,
income, revenue, cash receipts and other moneys of the District attributable to fiscal
year 1998-99, and available for the payment of said note and the interest thereon;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 53856 of the Code, certain
revenues that will be received by the District during and attributable to fiscal year
1998-99 can be pledged for the payment of said note and the interest thereon (as
hereinafter provided);
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best
interests of the District to participate in the Community College League of California
Cash Flow Financing Program (the "Program"), whereby participating community
college districts (collectively, the "Participating Districts") will
simultaneously issue tax and revenue anticipation notes;
WHEREAS, the tax and revenue anticipation note authorized hereby (the "Note") will be sold to the Community College League Financing Authority (the "Authority") pursuant to a note purchase agreement, dated as of the date of the Pricing Confirmation, by and between the Authority and the District (the "Note Purchase Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, as part of the Program, the Authority will issue one
or more series (each a "Series") of 1998-99 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Bonds
(the "Bonds") pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture") between the
Authority and U. S. Trust Company of California, N.A. (the "Trustee"), which
Bonds will be secured by the tax and revenue anticipation notes of the Participating
Districts, each Series to be distinguished by the type of credit enhancement, if any, that
secures such Series, the principal amounts of the notes securing such Series, the date of
maturity of such Series, or by such other factors as may be determined by the Authority
pursuant to the advice of Sutro & Co. Incorporated, as financial advisor for the
Program (the "Financial Advisor");
NOW, THEREFORE, the Governing Board of the District hereby
resolves as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. All of the above recitals are
true and correct and the District so finds, determines, and represents.
Section 2. Authorization of Issuance of Note; Terms.
The District hereby determines to borrow, solely for the purpose of anticipating taxes,
income, revenue, cash receipts and other moneys to be received by the District during or
attributable to fiscal year 1998-99, an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the
Maximum Principal Amount by the issuance, by the District, of a temporary note under
Sections 53850 et seq. of the Code designated as the District's
"1998-99 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note." The Note shall be dated the date of
delivery thereof; shall mature (without option of prior redemption) not more than 15
months from said date of delivery on a date indicated on the face of the Note and set
forth in the Pricing Confirmation (as defined below), or if such date is not a day on
which banks in New York or California are open for business, on the first business day
prior to such date; and shall bear interest, payable on the dates set forth in the Note
and computed on a 30-day month/360-day year basis, at the rate indicated on the face of
the Note and set forth in the Pricing Confirmation (the "Note Rate"), but not in
excess of eight percent (8.0%) per annum. If the Note is not fully paid at maturity, then
the unpaid portion thereof shall continue to bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate
(to be set forth in the Pricing Confirmation). Both the principal of and interest on the
Note shall be payable only upon surrender thereof, in lawful money of the United States of
America, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, which Trustee is hereby designated
to be the Paying Agent for the Note (the "Paying Agent").
Section 3. Form of Note. The Note shall be issued in
registered form without coupons and shall be substantially in the form and substance set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein, the blanks in
said form to be filled in with appropriate words and figures.
Section 4. Sale of the Note. The Note shall be sold to
the Authority pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The form of the Note Purchase
Agreement, including the form of the pricing confirmation supplement (the "Pricing
Confirmation") set forth as Exhibit B thereto, presented to this meeting is hereby
approved. The Vice President, Finance and Administrative Services and the Director, Fiscal
Services of the District (the "Authorized Representatives") are each hereby
authorized and directed to execute (which execution shall be accomplished by execution of
the Pricing Confirmation) and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement (including the Pricing
Confirmation) in substantially said form, with such changes thereto as such Authorized
Representative shall approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by his or her
execution and delivery thereof; provided, however, that the interest rate on
the Note shall not exceed eight percent (8.0%) per annum, the discount on the Note, when
added to the District's share of the costs of issuance of the Bonds, shall not exceed one
and one-half percent (1.5%), and the Principal Amount shall not exceed the Maximum
Principal Amount.
Section 5. Program Approval. The District's
participation in the Program is approved; provided, however, that the
District's decision to participate in the Program shall not be binding on the District
until the execution and delivery of the Pricing Confirmation.
The District acknowledges that the Authority, acting upon the advice
of the Financial Advisor, may seek such credit enhancement for the Note and for the Series
of Bonds related thereto as it deems necessary or desirable. The District agrees to be
bound by the terms of such credit enhancement, if any, and the agreements related thereto.
The District's approval of such credit enhancement, if any, and the agreements related
thereto shall be conclusively evidenced by execution and delivery of the Pricing
Confirmation. Each Authorized Representative is authorized to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the District, all agreements related to credit enhancement for the Note and for
the Series of Bonds related thereto that such Authorized Representative shall approve,
such approval to be conclusively evidenced by execution and delivery of such agreements.
The Authorized Representatives of the District are hereby authorized and
directed to provide the Financial Advisor with such information relating to the District
as the Financial Advisor shall reasonably request for inclusion in the Preliminary
Official Statement and Official Statement related to the Bonds. Upon inclusion of the
information relating to the District therein, the Preliminary Official Statement is,
except for certain omissions permitted by Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Rule"), hereby deemed final within the meaning of the
Rule with respect to the District. If, at any time prior to the execution of the Pricing
Confirmation, any event occurs as a result of which the information contained in the
Preliminary Official Statement related to the District might include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the
District shall promptly notify the Financial Advisor.
The District agrees to pay or cause to be paid, in addition to the
amounts payable under the Note, its share of any fees or expenses of the Trustee in
connection with its participation in the Program, as determined in accordance with the
Indenture. Such additional fees and expenses will be paid by the District within
twenty-five (25) days of receipt by the District of a bill therefor from the Trustee.
Section 6. Transfer; Exchange. The Note shall
initially be registered in the name of the Authority. Thereafter, the Note may not be
transferred or exchanged except for a transfer to a provider of credit enhancement for the
Note or for the Series of Bonds related thereto as provided by the terms of such credit
enhancement and any agreement related thereto.
Section 7. Deposit of Note Proceeds; No Arbitrage. A
portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Note, in an amount equal to the District's
share of the costs of issuance (including any fees and expenses incurred in connection
with credit enhancement) of the Note and of the Series of Bonds related to the Note, shall
be deposited in the Costs of Issuance Fund established under the Indenture and expended as
directed by the Authority on costs of issuance as provided in the Indenture. The remainder
of the proceeds from the sale of the Note shall be deposited in the Proceeds Fund
established under the Indenture and, until transferred pursuant to a requisition of the
District, be invested in Permitted Investments (as defined in and under the terms of the
Indenture) as directed by the Authority. While they are on deposit in the Proceeds Fund,
proceeds from the sale of the Note shall constitute additional security for repayment of
the Note. Upon requisition submitted to the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, the
Note proceeds deposited in the Proceeds Fund shall be transferred to or on behalf of the
District for any purpose for which the District is authorized to use and expend moneys.
The District hereby covenants that it will make no use of the
proceeds of the Note that would cause the Note to be an "arbitrage bond" under
Section 148 of the Code; and, to that end, so long as the Note is outstanding, the
District, and all of its officers having custody or control of such proceeds, shall comply
with all requirements of said section, including restrictions on the use and investment of
proceeds of the Note and the rebate of a portion of investment earnings on certain
amounts, including proceeds of the Note, if required, to the Federal government, and of
the Income Tax Regulations of the United States Treasury promulgated thereunder or under
any predecessor provisions, to the extent that such regulations are, at the time,
applicable and in effect, so that the Note will not be an "arbitrage bond."
Section 8. Payment of Note.
(A) Source of Payment. The principal amount of the Note,
together with the interest thereon, shall be payable from taxes, income, revenue, cash
receipts and other moneys which are received by the District during fiscal year
1998-99 and which are available therefor. The Note shall be a general obligation of the
District, and to the extent the Note is not paid from the Pledged Revenues defined below,
the Note shall be paid with interest thereon from any other moneys of the District
lawfully available therefor, as provided herein and by law.
(B) Pledged Revenues. As security for the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Note, the District hereby pledges certain unrestricted
revenues (as further described in the following paragraph, the "Pledged
Revenues") which are received by the District in the months specified in the Pricing
Confirmation as Pledge Months (each a "Pledge Month" and collectively the
"Pledge Months"). The term "unrestricted revenues" shall mean taxes,
income, revenue, cash receipts, and other money of the District as provided in Section
53856 of the Act, which are intended as receipts for the general fund of the District and
which are generally available for the payment of current expenses and other obligations of
the District.
With respect to each Pledge Month, the amount of unrestricted
revenues which shall constitute Pledged Revenues will be equal to a percentage of the
Principal Amount plus a percentage of the interest due on the Note on the applicable
interest payment dates, including maturity, such percentages, and dates to be specified in
the Pricing Confirmation. Any one of the Authorized Representatives of the District is
hereby authorized to approve the determination of the Pledge Months and the amount of
Pledged Revenues with respect to each Pledge Month by executing and delivering the Pricing
Confirmation, such execution and delivery to be conclusive evidence of approval by this
Board and such Authorized Representative.
The principal of the Note and the interest thereon shall be a first
lien and charge against and shall be payable from the first moneys received by the
District from such Pledged Revenues, as provided by law.
In the event that there are insufficient unrestricted revenues
received by the District to permit the deposit into the Repayment Account, as hereinafter
defined, of the full amount of Pledged Revenues to be deposited from unrestricted revenues
in any Pledge Month, then the amount of any deficiency shall be satisfied and made up from
any other moneys of the District lawfully available for the repayment of the Note and the
interest thereon.
(C) Deposit of Pledged Revenues in Repayment Account. Pledged
Revenues shall be held by the District in a special account within the District's general
fund designated as the District's "1998-99 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note
Repayment Account" (the "Repayment Account") and applied as directed in
this resolution. Any moneys placed in the Repayment Account shall be for the benefit of
the holder of the Note, and until the
Note and all interest thereon are paid or until provision has been
made for the payment of the Note at maturity with interest to maturity, the moneys in the
Repayment Account shall be applied only for the purposes for which the Repayment Account
is created. Upon the written request of the Trustee or any provider of credit enhancement
for the Note or the Series of Bonds related thereto, the District shall, within ten (10)
Business Days following its receipt of such request, provide written evidence that the
deposits to the Repayment Account required by this resolution have been made. In addition,
the District shall provide such additional financial information as may be required by any
provider of credit enhancement for the Note or the Series of Bonds related thereto.
(D) Disbursement of Moneys in Repayment Account. The District
shall, to the extent necessary to pay the principal of and the interest on the Note, cause
the moneys in the Repayment Account to be transferred to the Trustee at least five (5)
Business Days (as defined in the indenture) prior to the date that interest on the Note
must be paid, as applicable, and prior to the maturity of the Note. Moneys so transferred
to the Trustee shall be deposited in the appropriate Bond Payment Fund established under
the Indenture and applied to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Note when
due and at maturity, as provided in the Indenture. In the event that moneys in the
Repayment Account are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Note when
due and at maturity, such moneys shall be applied first to pay interest on the Note and
second to pay principal of the Note. Any moneys remaining in or accruing to the Repayment
Account after the principal of and the interest on the Note have been paid, or provision
for such payment has been made, shall be transferred to the general fund of the District,
subject to any other disposition required by the Indenture.
Section 9. Execution and Delivery of Note. The Note
shall be executed by the manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Representative and
countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary of the Board. The

(A) It is hereby covenanted and warranted by the District that all
representations and recitals contained in this resolution are true and correct.
(B) The District shall not incur any indebtedness secured by a pledge of
its unrestricted revenues unless such pledge is subordinate in all respects to the pledge
of unrestricted revenues hereunder.
(C) So long as any Bonds issued in connection with the Note are
outstanding, the District will not create or suffer to be created any pledge of or lien on
the Note other than the pledge and lien of the Indenture.
(D) The District and its appropriate officials have duly taken, or
will take, all proceedings necessary to be taken by them for the levy, collection and
enforcement of the Pledged Revenues in accordance with the law and for carrying out the
provisions of this resolution and the Note.
Section 11. Ratification and Approval of Past and Future
Action. All actions heretofore taken by the officers and agents of the District with
respect to the Note, the Bonds, and the Program are hereby approved, confirmed and
ratified, and the officers and agents of the District are hereby authorized and directed
to do any and all things and take any and all actions, which they, or any of them, may
deem necessary or advisable in order to consummate the lawful issuance and delivery of the
Note and the District's participation in the Program in accordance with this resolution
and resolutions hereafter adopted by the District. The Authorized Representatives are
hereby designated as "Authorized District Representatives" under the Indenture.
Section 12. Events of Default and Remedies.
If any of the following events occur, it is hereby defined as and
declared to be and to constitute an "Event of Default":
(A) Failure by the District to make or cause to be made the
transfers and deposits to the Repayment Account or any other payment required to be paid
hereunder on or before the date on which such transfer, deposit or other payment is due
and payable;
(B) Failure by the District to observe and perform any covenant, condition or
agreement on its part to be observed or performed under this
resolution, for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice, specifying such
failure and requesting that it be remedied, is given to the District by the Paying Agent,
unless the Paying Agent shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its
expiration;
(C) Any warranty, representation or other statement by or on behalf
of the District contained in this resolution or the Note Purchase Agreement (including the
Pricing Confirmation) or in any requisition or any financial report delivered by the
District or in any instrument furnished in compliance with or in reference to this
resolution or the Note Purchase Agreement or in connection with the Note, is false or
misleading in any material respect;
(D) A petition is filed against the District under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation
law of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, and is not dismissed within
30 days after such filing, but the Paying Agent shall have the right to intervene in the
proceedings prior to the expiration of such 30 days to protect its interests and the
interests of the registered owner of the Note;
(E) The District files a petition in voluntary bankruptcy or seeking
relief under any provision of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction, whether now or
hereafter in effect, or consents to the filing of any petition against it under such law;
or
(F) The District admits insolvency or bankruptcy or is generally not
paying its debts as such debts become due, or becomes insolvent or bankrupt or makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a custodian (including without limitation a
receiver, liquidator or trustee) of the District or any of its property is appointed by
court order or takes possession thereof and such order remains in effect or such
possession continues for more than 30 days, but the Paying Agent shall have the right to
intervene in the proceedings prior to the expiration of such 30 days to protect its
interests and the interests of the registered owner of the Note.
Whenever any Event of Default referred to in this Section shall have
happened and be continuing, the Paying Agent shall, in addition to any other remedies
provided herein or by law or under the Indenture, have the right, at its option without
any further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial
steps:
(1) Without declaring the Note to be immediately due and payable,
require the District to pay to the Paying Agent an amount equal to the principal of the
Note and interest thereon to maturity, plus all other amounts due hereunder, and upon
notice to the District the same shall become immediately due and payable by the District
without further notice or demand; and
(2) Take whatever other action at law or in equity (except for
acceleration of payment on the Note) which may appear necessary or desirable to collect
the amounts then due and thereafter to become due hereunder or to enforce any other of its
rights hereunder.
Section 13. Proceedings Constitute Contract. The
provisions of the Note and of this resolution shall constitute a contract between the
District and the registered owner of the Note, and such provisions shall be enforceable by
mandamus or any other appropriate suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction, and shall be irrepealable.
Section 14. Request to Borrow; Transmittal of Resolution.
The Note shall be issued in conjunction with the note or notes of one or more other
community college districts, as described in Section 53853(b) of the Act. Following its
adoption by the Board, signed copies of this resolution shall be transmitted by the
Secretary of the Board to the treasurer of the county (the "County") in which
the District is located, to the County's board of supervisors (the "County
Board"), and to the County's superintendent of schools. Transmittal of this
resolution to the County Board shall constitute a request by the Board for borrowing and
for the issuance of the Note by the County Board. This resolution is based on the
assumption that the County Board will fail to authorize, by resolution, the issuance of
the Note within 45 calendar days of its receipt hereof or that the County Board will
notify the District that it will not authorize the issuance of the Note within such 45-day
period. If within such 45-day period the County Board authorizes, by resolution, issuance
of the Note, then, notwithstanding this resolution, the Notes shall be issued in the name
of the District by the County Board pursuant to such resolution of the County Board.
Section 15. Limited Liability. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Note or in any other document
mentioned herein or related to the Note or to any Series of Bonds to which the Note may be
assigned, the District shall not have any liability hereunder or by reason hereof or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except to the extent payable from
moneys available therefor as set forth in Section 8 hereof.
Section 16. Amendments. At any time or from time to
time, the District may adopt one or more Supplemental Resolutions, without the necessity
for consent of the owner of the Note, for any one or more of the following purposes:
(A) to add to the covenants and agreements of the District in this
Resolution, other covenants and agreements to be observed by the District which are not
contrary to or inconsistent with this Resolution as theretofore in effect;
(B) to add to the limitations and restrictions in this Resolution,
other limitations and restrictions to be observed by the District which are not contrary
to or inconsistent with this Resolution as theretofore in effect,
(C) to confirm, as further assurance, any pledge under, and the
subjection to any lien or pledge created or to be created by, this Resolution, of any
monies, securities or funds, or to establish any additional funds or accounts to be held
under this Resolution;
(D) to cure any ambiguity, supply any omission, or cure or correct any
defect or inconsistent provision in this Resolution; or
(E) to amend or supplement this Resolution in any other respect; provided,
however, that any such Supplemental Resolution does not adversely affect the
interests of the owner of the Note.
Any modification or amendment of this Resolution and of the rights
and obligations of the District and of the owner of the Note may be made by a Supplemental
Resolution, with the written consent of the owner of the Note; provided, however,
that if such modification or amendment will, by its terms, not take effect so long as the
Note remains outstanding, the consent of the owner of the Note shall not be required. No
such modification or amendment shall change or modify any of the rights or obligations of
the Paying Agent without its written assent thereto.
In addition to the amendments permitted by the above paragraphs,
this Resolution, including the form of the Note, may be amended at any time prior to the
execution and delivery of the Note pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement or the
Indenture, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference to the extent that
they relate to the Note, the District, and the District's participation in the Program.
Any amendment of this Resolution pursuant to this paragraph shall not require the
execution and delivery of a Supplemental Resolution.
Section 17. Severability. In the event any provision
of this Resolution shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other
provision hereof.
Section 18. Appointment of Bond Counsel. The law firm
of Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, San Francisco,
California, is hereby appointed as Bond Counsel for the Note and for the Program. The
District acknowledges that Bond Counsel regularly performs legal services for many private
and public entities in connection with a wide variety of matters, and that Bond Counsel
has represented, is representing or may in the future represent other public entities,
underwriters, trustees, rating agencies, insurers, credit enhancement providers, lenders,
financial, and other consultants who may have a role or interest in the proposed financing
or that may be involved with or adverse to the District in this or some other matter.
Given the special, limited role of Bond Counsel described above the District acknowledges
that no conflict of interest exists or would exist, waives any conflict of interest that
might appear to exist, and consents to any and all such relationships.
Section 19. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take
effect from and after its date of adoption.

8. INFORMATION: NETWORK AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS USER POLICY
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Network and Telecommunications
User Policy for the Palomar Community College District be approved. It is noted that
item has been approved by and forwarded from the President's Advisory Council with a
recommendation for Board approval. Exhibit I-8
Bruce Bishop stated that The Faculty and Faculty Senate have some
concerns about this item that they wished to share. Specifically, the third sentence which
reads, "It is the policy of the District not to monitor electronic transmissions for
content except when legally required to do so or when specific written permission to do so
is granted by the Superintendent/President." At the Faculty Senate meeting, concerns
were raised about the lack of clarity in two concepts. One is "when legally required
to do so"; the other is "when specific written permission to do so is granted by
the Superintendent/President." They are wondering under what circumstances it might
be legally required to monitor transmissions. They were curious under what circumstances
the Superintendent/President might feel it is necessary to give permission to do so. The
Faculty Senate hoped they could impress upon the Board that these concerns could be
addressed by changing the wording so that everything after the word, "except,"
would be deleted and the words, "as addressed within the associated procedures,"
would be substituted. This would allow the policy to state that it is the policy of the
District not to monitor, yet there are some exceptions to when the District might feel it
necessary to monitor, and it would allow us to better define those circumstances within
the associated procedures that are now being developed in concert with the various groups
on
campus. The procedures section would delineate what the exceptions would
be as clearly as possible. The policy statement would merely explain that there are
exceptions to the policy under which it might be necessary to monitor transmissions.
Mr. Scofield stated that Bruce's comments sound reasonable. It was
suggested that this item be revised and brought back to the Board as Information/Action at
the next meeting. Jerry Patton asked that Ben Echeverria and Gene Jackson take the
recommendation and analyze it and bring it back when they are certain that the liability
concept has been satisfied.
Tom Chambers asked how easy is it to change a procedure. Dr. Boggs
stated that it can be changed by going through the President's Advisory Council, which
consists of representatives of all the groups on campus and senior and executive
administrators. Gene Jackson noted that the language stated on Exhibit I-3 was added at
PAC. It was felt that if it is tied to the procedures, the procedures do, in fact, become
a part of the policy. Then, if procedures are changed, they are, in effect altering Board
policy without the Board being aware of it.
Dr. Dougherty stated that people might want to know under what
circumstances permission might be given to monitor transmissions. He felt we need to be
more concrete about what such circumstances might be.
Gene Jackson stated that the Task Force was aware of the concern
regarding the relationship between policy and procedure and the issue that, in effect,
changing the procedure changes the policy. That would indicate that the Board is saying
that they agree with anything that comes with the attached procedures, which they don't
necessarily look at.
Ben Echeverria noted that there is a concern that if we relegate
this to the procedural process, circumstances, and applications, in fact, what the Board
is doing is delegating its authority to some outside source over which they have no
knowledge, control, or input. If the Board wants to do that, they may; however he felt
they would act at their peril.
Bruce Bishop stated that he feels we have historically made a
concerted effort to separate policies and procedures on a variety of different issues. We
have left it to the Board to establish policy and left it to the various groups on campus
to establish the associated procedures. The last sentence of the policy refers to the
associated procedures. That language gives tremendous power to the procedures itself.
Bruce stated that the Board has every right to be concerned about the establishment of a
policy for telecommunications usage on this campus. It has every right and is acting
appropriately in saying "it is not the policy of the District to monitor, but there
are exceptions." Then the Board would trust the individuals on campus, who are
appointed to do so, to come up with reasonable and appropriate procedures under which
those exceptions would be allowed. The Board is delegating some authority and some trust
to those groups to come up with appropriate and desirable language. By doing so, you avoid
the vagueness and the seemingly arbitrariness of the policy as it is now worded, without
having to add additional language to it to fix that same problem. To Bruce, the concept of
"when legally required to do so" is a very broad and somewhat vague policy. And
the statement "except when written permission from the president is granted" is
even a more broad and unclear concept. It just makes sense that we lay out what those
examples of under what circumstances that might happen within the procedures.
Gene Jackson stated that one of the suggestions that was discussed
in PAC that might offer a response to Bruce's concern was to identify in the procedures a
number of issues that are clearly illegal. One of the things the task force was concerned
about was that we not have a catalogue of illegal activities that we are forbidding,
because we are starting from the point of departure that the faculty and the rest of the
College community would use the Internet responsibly. To have a long list of possible
transgressions defeats the purpose of the policy.
The Task Force wanted to say that this is an enormously powerful
tool that we encourage the College to make full use of, but we have to recognize that
there are limitations imposed by law over which we have no control. Gene feels we need to
make sure that the policy says that it is the policy of the District not to monitor for
concept. He feels that is a crucial factor. If it can be clarified by defining content
under definition, and he suspects that would be very difficult, that may offer one
solution to this particular issue.
Ben Echeverria stated that another option would be to bring the
procedures back and let the Board adopt them. If there is a gray line between policies and
procedures, then they are one and the same thing; it is a matter of semantics.
Ms. Hughes asked the bottom-line reason for needing a
telecommunications user policy. Ben Echeverria responded "to police it; to make it
clear that when it is used, it is being used as equipment and facilities of the District
for business purposes, not misused for personal purposes or for one's own private gain, or
to commit crimes or torts. All of those things are occurring on the Net. All of those
things occur on E-mail, and we've had a number of these instances already on campus. We
felt if we just had silence out there, and there is nothing in writing that guides us as
to how to administer these facilities." Ms. Hughes stated that she likes the term Mr.
Echeverria used, "used responsibly." Dr. Boggs stated that there is only one key
sentence in this policy, and that is the sentence that Bruce brought to the Board's
attention, "It is the policy of the District not to monitor electronic transmissions
for content except . . . ." That clearly states our intent not to routinely monitor
electronic transmissions except when we would legally have to do so, or in the case when
we might reasonably suspect either illegal or unethical behavior.
Gene Jackson responded to Ms. Hughes that another reason for the
policy is tied in with the rules for computer usage that are displayed in every computer
lab on campus. At the present moment, there is no Board policy that covers those rules. It
is becoming increasingly complex as the various labs go on line. It is a problem with
every computer on campus, whether it is in a lab or in an office.
Bruce Bishop stated that he feels this gives the District and the
College an opportunity to expand the procedures that have been developed by adding to them
another section that would address the exceptions to the policy under monitoring might be
expected and/or triggered. He stated that we don't know in 1998 what might be happening
two years from now or five years from now in terms of telecommunications policy. The
procedures could be amended more easily by going through the process of PAC, not having to
involve the policy-making responsibility of the Board. He feels it would be easier to list
these things under a separate section called, "Exceptions," than it would be to
try to guess what those things might be or to try to address them with vague language like
"when legally required to do so" or "when the president says so." He
understands there are some legitimate business reasons of the College that might trigger
some monitoring on the part of the District. Those kinds of things could also be mentioned
within the procedures. There is no mention of that kind of thing here in terms of the
policy. He stated that he is not certain how you would get into that notion with this
particular statement. There are a lot of advantages to working through the procedures, as
opposed to trying to work through the policies.
Dr. Boggs recommended that a group be called together, including Ben
Echeverria, Gene Jackson, and representatives of The Faculty and Faculty Senate, to change
this into a broad sentence that doesn't necessarily refer to the procedures; but the
procedures will still tell us how to implement the policy. He feels work is needed on the
procedures to clearly accomplish this. The policy sentence could be modified to express in
broad terms that we don't monitor except under certain circumstances. Those circumstances
would then be spelled out in the procedures.
Bruce agreed that we don't need a list of those things that are
already recognized as illegal.
Ben Echeverria stated that the "Catch 22" is if you can't
collect the evidence because of the restrictiveness of your policy, then being able to
monitor the behavior to collect sufficient evidence to present (for example, if it's a
crime) to prosecute. Under those circumstances, you would have difficulty presenting
enough evidence to show that there was a crime committed.
Bruce stated that he doesn't have a problem with that. He doesn't
have a problem with the statement that says, "reasonable cause of wrongdoing,"
for example, as in Ms. Hughes and Mr. Jackson's comment earlier.
Ben stated that it was planned, in order to be able to go to some
independent third party, such as the president, and present a set of facts, almost as a
bill of particulars, and have him rule whether or not this is sufficient to go ahead and
check it out. Many universities and colleges do it by a committee. That had been discussed
but the idea was eliminated because it was felt we don't need another committee. It was
the Faculty Senate's representatives on the task force who suggested that the
superintendent/president be the one to go to.
9. INFORMATION: INCREASE STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARD FEE FOR
SUMMER SESSION
BE IT RESOLVED, That the student identification card fee for

for Board approval. Exhibit I-9

Note: This is a specially funded position, pursuant to
California Education Code Section 87470, service is not included in computing the service
required for the attainment of, or eligibility to, classification as a regular employee.
Mr. Scofield asked if the District is planning to grant Ms. Roth a
temporary leave of absence from her present position as the new position is a specially
funded one that may or may not be long term. Dr. Mitchell responded that Ms. Roth is
meeting with him tomorrow regarding this matter as this appointment is for only
approximately 1½ months. This is a permanent member of the classified staff who, for a
short time, will be taking an academic, non-tenured position. In order to protect her
classified rights for a short period, Dr. Mitchell recommended that a leave from her
classified position be granted. It was noted that because the next Board meeting is
scheduled for April 14, the day after she assumes the new position, the Board would have
to approve the leave retroactively at that time. Dr. Dougherty commented that he is always
delighted to see people get a promotion and get even a temporary faculty position to give
them valuable experience.
The Vote: Unanimous
Student Trustee Advisory Vote: Aye
M. ITEMS PENDING
There were no items pending.
N. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS
Ms. Olvera asked everyone's assistance in encouraging students to
vote for the new student center.
Ms. Hughes commented that she has enjoyed the new format of The
Telescope. It is a professional, terrific-looking newspaper.
Dr. White noted that she had recently spent two days at Fullerton
College. They hosted the high school drama groups from Southern California. It was a most
enlightening event. They have a beautiful, grassy area that was completely covered with
hundreds of students. She wonders whether or not we have considered having such an event
here as it would be a nice way to show off our campus. Bruce Bishop reported that we host
two or three large high school invitational forensics tournaments here each year. Dr.
White stated that we have other outstanding instructional areas, as well, that might
consider hosting such an event.
Dr. Dougherty noted that Dr. Boggs, Kendra Jeffcoat, and he
represented the College at GEICO'S groundbreaking ceremony for its new facility in Poway.
He noted that it is important for the College to make GEICO and its 3,000 employees feel
welcome to our District. They are very eager to work with the College as we have a great
reputation. When you have an opportunity such as this, you need the equivalent of a
welcome wagon to say to the newcomers, "what can we do for you, what can you do for
us, and how can we integrate your employees into our community?" He distributed a
list of ideas to further this matter to the Board members at this time. They plan to have
the first 1,500 employees at work in Poway by early next year, so the time to start
working on the project is now. There is an opportunity for the Poway community to say,
"you people are welcome here; let's do things together." GEICO is in a position
to support all sorts of worthy community activities, and we are in a position to make the
transition for GEICO and its employees easier, so that they don't feel like strangers. He
feels we have an opportunity to "get in on the ground floor" by putting together
a group of people to work with GEICO to make it easier for everybody. After speaking with
the man who is heading the GEICO move to Poway, he feels they would have considerable
interest in cooperating with the College. A year from now, GEICO will also have classrooms
and other meeting rooms available. Currently, Poway has a real lack of public meeting
rooms.
O. CLOSED SESSION
There was no closed session.
