Agenda Item IV.-Budget Workshop
Dean Solander explained the budget process, how revenue
is generated, defined the spending authority budget and the operational budget
and stated that the mill levy should remain the same as last fiscal year.
Dr. Smith reported that an estimated 230 students need to
reside in the dormitory in order to fund the dorm budget including bond
payments. She continued that the budget will be tight for at least two more
years and that she would encourage employees to purchase only necessary
items. The budget for FY 2003-04 includes expenditures for new software, one
vehicle, increased utilities and health insurance costs, and repairs to the
Ottawa campus.

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of
Neosho County Community College approves the FY2003-04 Budget for

Agenda Item V-B. Bus
Mr. Berthot had an opportunity to view the bus which was
discussed at the July regular meeting. He stated it was in fair to good
condition and appeared to have been kept in good repair with 88,000 miles,
that it started and the engine sounded fine. He said personally he was
neutral on whether to submit a bid on the vehicle. Dr. Smith reported that
the manufacturer estimated the lifetime mileage for 150-160 thousand miles,
that insurance for such a vehicle was estimated to be $500-$600 per month.
After discussion, the Board took no action on submitting
a bid for the vehicle. Dr. Smith thanked Mr. Berthot for taking time to look
at the bus and report to the Board.
Agenda Item VI-A: Personnel
A-1. Employment of Athletic Trainer
It is my recommendation that the Board employ Mr. Heath
Hansen as athletic trainer. He would be placed on the faculty salary schedule
at MS, step 1 or $26,435.00. Mr. Hansen is certified by the National Athletic
Trainers’ Association Board, he has a MS degree in Athletic Training from the
California University of Pennsylvania, and a BS degree in Physical Education
from Grand Valley State University in Michigan.
Mr. Hansen has served as head athletic trainer at Frazier
High School, Perryopolis, Pennsylvania for one year and as an athletic trainer
intern and student athletic trainer. He is also certified as a Strength and
Conditioning Specialist.
A-2. Resignation Academic Technology Coordinator
We have received the resignation of Cindy Riggs, Academic
Technology Coordinator. Ms. Riggs is employed part-time under a ten-month
contract and she had notified us that she will not be returning in August.
Resolution 2003-40
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of
Neosho County Community College approves the employment of Heath Hansen as
athletic trainer for 2003-04 and be placed on the faculty salary schedule at
MS, step 1 or $26,435. Further, that the Board accept the resignation of
Cindy Riggs, Academic Technology Coordinator, effective at the end of her
2002-03 contract.
Motion was made and seconded that the above resolution
be adopted. Motion was carried unanimously.
Agenda Item VI-B: KETCH Lease
Representatives from KETCH (Kansas Elks Training Center
for the Handicapped) approached the College about leasing space for their
offices. KETCH is a not-for-profit organization that provides services to
disable individuals and assists them in attaining and maintaining employment.
Dean Brenda Krumm and the President spoke with them,
because it appeared that the organization would be a good partner in the
Workforce Development Center. The grant that was used to construct the
Workforce Development Center in the CAVE had as part of its goals, the
establishment of a “one-stop” center in a central location that would provide
services mandated by the Workforce Investment Act. Although KETCH is not one
of the mandated partners for a one-stop center, the services they provide meld
well with the other services mandated by the act and which services we
currently provide the community in our Workforce Development Center. As part
of the partnership, KETCH will refer their clients to NCCC’s Adult Basic
Education and Partner’s In Change program.
The lease will provide KETCH with 160 square feet of
space in the Workforce Development Center in the CAVE in exchange for
$500/month rental. Other obligations for KETCH are outlined in the lease.
Kent Pringle, the college attorney, reviewed the lease document and made
revisions which are reflected in the document.
It was the recommendation of the President that the
College enter into the lease with KETCH.
Resolution 2003-41
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of
Neosho County Community College approves the signing of a lease agreement
between the College and the organization known as KETCH. Such lease agreement
will provide space in the Workforce Development Center to the organization in
exchange for the dollar amount noted in the agreement.
Motion was made and seconded that the above resolution
be adopted. Motion was carried unanimously.
Agenda Item VII-Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 6:58 p.m.
