Minutes
October 27, 2008
Attendees: Norma Bean, Lisa Faas, Susan Garland, Rita Campo Griggs, Dennis Lutz, Wilma Owens, Wade Rollins, and Ann Worthington.
The Perkins Advisory Committee Meeting convened at 2:00 p.m. Introductions took place.
Dean Wilma Owens explained the governance structure of the Perkins Advisory Committee and outlined the required membership as indicated per the governance structure. The current structure was revised last month and approved by our Instructional Planning Council.
Wilma also discussed the Perkins five-year plan with the committee. A copy was distributed to the committee for review and they were also reminded that a copy is available on the Career Technical & Extended Education website. She asked the committee to advise if they felt any revisions were necessary. She explained that each year we submit a new one-year plan, however, we can revise the five-year plan if needed. Wilma stated that she was especially interested in learning if Palomar College was meeting the demands of business and industry. She asked Ann Worthington, representative of business and industry, to peruse the five-year plan and advise.
Dennis Lutz stated that he did not feel that a discipline should be allowed to apply for Perkins funds if they had not held an advisory meeting during the prior academic year. Wilma stated that definitely was a requirement of Perkins and she will clearly outline in the instructions that advisory committee minutes must be attached to their proposal or the proposal will not be approved for funding.
Wade Rollins brought up problems which he encountered last year when attempting to find core indicator data. Wilma stated that there is now more than one source to locate LMI information, so it should go more smoothly in the future.
Wilma discussed the importance of departments ordering approved items early and certainly before January. Funds which aren’t encumbered during January are reallocated.
Wilma indicated that she will mail the tentative plan, the list of requested items for next year, to new committee members. She said that we may also receive new proposals for consideration for year two. Wilma stated that she plans to hold an informational meeting in the spring regarding the application process at which time she will walk through the process, explaining deadlines and also how the committee rates plans. She will then schedule a Perkins Advisory Committee meeting for final selection and approval of the two-year plans.
Wilma stated that she is still seeking representation from labor and industry. She asked everyone to check at their next advisory meetings for possible interest.
Rita Campo Griggs reported that the Tech Prep Fall 2008 open house was very successful; she is presently preparing to hold a second open house during this academic year on February 20, 2009. Rita stated that the Meet the Professor meetings are occurring on a regular basis with local high school instructors and Palomar College faculty.
Meeting was adjourned at 2:45 p.m.

The meeting was called to order at 11:00 a.m., by Dean Wilma Owens. The committee welcomed Susan Garland to the college as the new Perkins Budget Technician.
Dean Owens reiterated the purpose of the meeting:
· To review submitted proposals and to determine the TOP Codes to be included in the plan for the 2009 budget year.
· To determine allocations for each TOP Code.
· To discuss resolution of issues:
o Composition of the Advisory Committee
o A process to pay stipends for faculty to complete mini projects associated with the Perkins Five-Year Plan.
· Review State Negotiated Levels of Performance.
Dean Owens advised the committee that they could distribute approximately $450,000 of our $610,979 allocation directly to TOP Codes. The committee reviewed the criteria discussed that all proposers would meet. A detailed description of this criteria was distributed campus wide at the March 3, 2008 meeting. The remaining funds would be distributed to required categories such as administrative overhead, salaries, and support services in the “ALL” category.

The composition of the committee was reviewed and the committee recommended several changes. These recommendations will be submitted to IPC at their first fall meeting.
Faculty have presented some creative ways in which to accomplish some of the goals included in the five- year Perkins plan. Many have not been implemented because there is no mechanism to pay faculty for these projects. During the summer, Dean Owens will work with Human Resources and the PFF to develop criteria and a mechanism to pay extra duty stipends associated with Perkins projects.
Dean Owens discussed the process for the State Negotiated Levels of Performance and shared the District’s Final Agreed Upon Levels of Performance (FAUPL). They are :
