VI.                 Communications:

·         Draft correspondence of historical chronology by Mr. Bozeman submitted for CAG review
  (distributed). 

 

VII.                 Final Chronological History: (Discussion/Recommendation):
Co-chair Hale briefly reviewed the chronological history and suggested that specific wording in the history be amended from “Citizens Advisory Group” to “Community Advisory Group” for accuracy. During further review, the CAG made several clarifications/amendments to the historical narrative.

Comm. Larkin interjected whether the CAG would be prepared to present their final recommendation before the Commission and if so when a date could be calendared. Co-chair Hale suspended the order of the agenda and moved to agenda item VIII, Final Draft Recommendation.

VIII.                 FINAL DRAFT RECOMMENDATION
Co-Chair Hale reviewed point by point the draft Resolution. Dean Hunnicutt voiced her opposition to the wording in item #1 that states, “The governing body would manage the skill center”. Ms. Jackson suggested the wording be changed to “work closely with City College”. Dean Hunnicutt cautioned when drafting that specific portion of the resolution, that it be drafted in such a way that the governance of the educational facility be vested in the community college system.

Ms. Jackson further suggested that discussion should take place regarding the subleasing of space by City College. Co-chair Hale noted the improbability that excess funds would be generated by the facility utilizing 20% of facility space while leasing the other 80% to the college at below market rate rent. Co-chair Hale was resolute in his belief that the community’s vision was different than the outcome.

Dr. Parker discussed the ambiguity of the governing structure adding that the vision must be clear-cut. Co-chair Hale stated that he would research the language of other commissions in regards to managerial authority as it relates to the educational & operational process of other facilities.

Dr. Moses referenced the ordinance, which specifically states the Commission shall hire an executive director who shall “manage” the day-to-day operation of the facility. Referring to item #1 in the Final Draft Resolution, Dr. Moses asked whether there was a specific reference to the last portion of item #1, “Commission would possess . . .” Co-chair Hale responded that statement comes from an early letter which list all the governing structures to be discussed at the meeting.
 
Dr. Moses suggested that item #1 (page 1) be combined with item #1 (page 2) on the Final Draft Resolution, which states “consistent with the agreement reached with the Bayview Hunters Point Coordinating Council” given that it was the agreement reached.

Ms. Vincent reiterated Dean Hunnicutt’s concern regarding the word “management” as it relates to CCSF. Dir. Moses stated that specific language will be worked on and sent for CAG review. Ms. Vincent also stated that an assessment be made of the actual space needed by CCSF based on a projection of what their growth might be.

IX.                 Introduction of New Business by Committee Members:
Chair Jones directed staff to research the cost of the annual rent for CCSF (Evans Campus) and to send a letter of invitation to Deputy City Attorney John Roddy for the next CAG meeting scheduled 9/30/04 re: “History of the Governing Structure,” specifically when it changed from nonprofit to advisory. CAG is scheduled to present before the full Commission on October 14th, 2004.

Ms. Jackson suggested since Catellus is attempting to sell off certain property at Mission Bay, perhaps an expansion of the sewage plant could be built on that site.

Dir. Parker suggested that since the meeting to reevaluate the system and work out glitches never took place by City officials, that a demand be made that that meeting now take place. Co-chair Hale stated that everything discussed will be incorporated in a new draft and directed committee members to relay any additional suggestions they may have to staff who will pass them on to him.

X.                 ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Attorney Hale announced that his kids (boys) won two championships in San Diego/Texas. His girls also placed 3rd. The next scheduled CAG meeting will take place on September 30, 2004 @ 12:00 noon in the Conference Room.
 

XI.                 Adjournment:
The SECFC/CAG meeting adjourned at 2:10 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
