Agenda Item VI-Reports

Faculty Senate Report: Dean Dillard reported that it was a busy time for the faculty with the close of the fall semester. Mr. Dillard congratulated David Smith, music instructor, and Chuck Adamson, theatre instructor, on the fine musical drama presented recently. The performances were well attended and received excellent reviews.

The forensics group, under the direction of Tosca Harris, received second-place sweepstakes at a recent tournament in Tulsa. Ms. Harris, who is also the Liberal Arts Division chair will be included in the next edition of Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers. It is quite an honor because instructors have to be nominated by former students who have gone on to distinguish themselves academically.

Mr. Dillard reported that the stem cell transplant for science instructor Brian Foreman was successful and that Brian has been on campus recently. The faculty forward to his return full-time as well as that of Mary Weilert, who is on maternity leave.

The Faculty Senate will meet next during the January In-Service. On behalf of the faculty, Mr. Dillard offered best wishes for the Holiday Season and thanked the Board for the opportunity to speak with them during the fall semester.

Dean of Ottawa Report: Mark Eldridge, Dean of the Ottawa Campus, addressed the Board regarding current events on the Ottawa Campus. His report focused on the service area of Ottawa and all of Franklin County, the northern portion of Anderson County, and the southern portion of Douglas County and how we could better serve the citizens of that area. Mr. Eldridge addressed the need to serve more people during the days, meet various training needs in area business and industry, maintain relationships in key organizations and participate in economic development.

Mr. Eldridge reported that enrollment and credit hours generated this fall were slightly higher than the previous year and that enrollment for spring looked strong. He also reminded the Board of the need to hire a full-time science instructor. With the retirement of William Furst in May 2005, the administration will need to evaluate and determine the area of greatest need in the general educations classes before formulating the teaching position that Mr. Furst currently holds.

Mr. Eldridge reported he has been working with businesses, industries and organizations in the Franklin County area to develop survey instruments to see how the College can best meet the needs of the area.

Dean of Finance and Student Services Report: Sandi Solander distributed a Treasurer’s report and Change in Fund Balance report for the month of November 2004. She told the Board that $212,500 had been transferred to the vocational fund from the general fund and that revenues and expenditures for the first five months of the fiscal year were they had been projected.

KACCT Report: Mark Watkins, Kansas Association of Community College Trustees representative, attended the quarterly meeting of that group last week in Kansas City. He reported that the trustees were concerned with the Kansas Board of Regents and that concurrent enrollment was an issue that they would be watching. The group also received a draft of the NORED Report which was requested by the KBOR to study higher education funding in Kansas. One suggestion from that report was that KBOR should be a policy board for higher education and there were several items to work out.

The State Treasurer also addressed the group regarding Learning Quest to support savings for student’s education and concern about credit card use by college students. Blake Flanders, Kansas First, also spoke to the group about matching industry needs with available workers.

President’s Report: President Vicky Smith reported that she had attended the KBOR meeting last month and that the Regents had approved the college’s Performance Agreement for January 1 through December 31, 2005. The report had several recommendations that would impact community colleges. The System Council of Presidents will meet with the regents next week to discuss the report.

Dr. Smith also attended the SCOCAO meeting that dealt with concurrent enrollment. The Council of Presidents has been very concerned with three recommendations contained in the report; faculty credentials, student eligibility, and data collection/tracking. The first two issues to discussed and passed to accept revised language which was acceptable to the community college presidents.

Dr. Smith reported on several moves that will take place at the college. Dr. Inbody will be moving to the offices now occupied by music, theatre and development. New furniture has been ordered for that area also. Development will relocate to Dr. Inbody’s present office and the music and theatre instructors will move into vacant faculty offices.

Dr. Smith invited the Board to attend her Christmas Open House on Sunday, December 19^th from 3-5 p.m.

Agenda Item VII-A: FCIP Letter of Intent

At the direction of the board, a committee headed by the Dean of Planning and Operations investigated the FCIP-approved ESCO companies to determine which company best suited the college’s proposed energy performance project. After involved discussions and presentations from finalists, and upon the advice of the FCIP Coordinator, Dale Worley, the President recommends the board enter a letter of agreement to perform an investment grade audit with Custom Energy of Overland Park, KS. Included with your board information is a binder that contains information about Custom Energy, their preliminary audit, and financial analysis.

Mr. Worley attended the meeting and explained the FCIP program. The state developed the program to address issues that the state had with their own facilities. Since its inception, over 80 million dollars in improvements have been made throughout state agencies. To date, Mr. Worley reported good results. Mr. Worley also stated that the Kansas Energy office had announced federal dollars were available for matching grants for energy audits up to $10,000.

Resolution 2004-70

RESOLVED, That the Board of Neosho County Community College enter the Facility Conversation Improvement Program and execute a letter of agreement with Custom Energy of Overland Park, KS to perform an investment grade audit.

The motion was made and seconded that the above resolution be approved. Motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Watkins called for a short break at 6:55 p.m. The meeting resumed at 7:10 p.m.

Agenda Item VIII-A: Computer Support Specialist Degree

The Applied Science Division and the Curriculum Committee is proud to offer the second new program in five years, AAS in Computer Support Specialist. A computer support specialist is a “jack of all trades” in the computer area covering all areas from networking, to PC repair, to web page creation. This person would be ideal for small business that can only support a small technical services department.

This program was first selected for development through the Kansas Occupational Outlook (2010) that cited this career as one of the 10 most needed by the state of Kansas now and in coming years. A needs analysis was conducted by sending surveys to over 400 businesses in the service area. The results proved encouraging that businesses were in favor of NCCC adding the program and that they would be more likely to hire a “degreed” computer support specialist.

If approved, this program would move forward for Kansas Board of Regents approval before the February deadline and launch in Fall 2005.

The program will cost approximately $8,000 per year, mostly in adjunct instruction, making it a very inexpensive program requiring very few majors to be viable. All of this expense could easily be absorbed in the Perkins Grant.

As a side note, the technical writing course has greater usage than this program alone. It can serve as a component to many AAS programs. The Computer Support Specialist program sheet and course outline are on the following pages.

Resolution 2004-71

RSOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves the A.A.S. Computer Support Specialist degree.

The motion was made and seconded that the above resolution be approved. Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item VIII-B: Copier Equipment Bids

The copying at the College is decentralized and non-metered. This means that there are copiers in each of the buildings as well as two high volume copiers for all-campus use in Sanders Hall. Faculty and staff (including staff from grant programs) have the convenience of using any of these copiers whenever they wish. The cost of the copies is taken out of a single College-wide account, not charged-back to the department of the person who made the copies.

A committee has been interviewing various copier vendors and asking them to make suggestions as to how we can cut costs, track who is making the copies so we can charge back costs to departments, and have a more judicious use of our dollars.

All of the vendors suggested centralizing the copying function. They felt the College should put high speed copiers in a central place and have a person operate them. In addition, they suggested “metering” the machines so that the College can track who uses them and charge back the costs to the department that makes the copies. This is particularly important since the College could recoup the costs for copies made by individuals in grant programs, i.e., let the grant pay for the copies instead of the College.

In addition to the copy center, the College would be placing in the various buildings copiers that could be used to make one or two copies. These copiers would not be very fast and would not have all of the “bells and whistles” capabilities that the copy center copies would.

Sealed bids for the College’s copying needs were solicited from seven vendors. After the bids were received, the administration recommended Digital Connections, Incorporated. The other two vendors that submitted bids did not meet the bid specifications.

Resolution 2004-72

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves the bid from Digital Connection, Inc. to provide copiers for the College as outlined in their bid.

The motion was made and seconded that the above resolution be approved. Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item VIII-C: Office Services Clerk (new position)

All of the copy machine vendors contacted in the bidding process mentioned previously indicated potential savings from centralizing all copy functions, which generally results in a significant reduction in the number of copies made. Centralizing the copy functions for the Chanute campus will require, however, an individual to continuously monitor, coordinate and maintain the centralized copy center. This new position’s copy center responsibilities would not only include primary operation of the various photo copy equipment, but also routine preventative maintenance, simple problem resolution, and service call coordination for all copy center equipment. Projected savings from decreased per copy charges made possible by the new copier lease (approved in agenda item VIII-B), as well as possible decreased usage from centralized copy functions, will be used to fund the new position.

In addition to coordinating the copy center activities, the Office Services Clerk would distribute incoming mail, process outgoing mail, maintain a supply inventory for copiers, PC and technology equipment and general office supplies, and minimal technology hardware support functions. The copy center will be located in the current copier room in Sanders Hall administrative offices. It is anticipated the copy center will eventually be located in the office presently used by Noretta Lawrence.

Resolution 2004-73

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves adding a new position, office services clerk, under the supervision of the Dean of Operations and Planning.

The motion was made and seconded that the above resolution be approved. Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item VIII-G: Nursing Instructor-Chanute

The Nursing Program at Neosho County Community College continues to be the one of the most important and vital programs that the college offers. The number of students accepted to the Chanute program has risen from 38 in 2001 to 90 today. In fact, the program was authorized to increase the number of Chanute Nursing I students from 40 to 45 this year. This growth, while positive, has also resulted in some growing pains:

The ability to find and train the 23 clinical instructors needed at various locations has been problematic, especially due to the rapid turnover in those positions.
The college has lost four full time nursing faculty members in the last 18 months due to cited added stress in the position and noncompetitive pay with working nurses. Good nursing instructors are not easy to replace.
The nursing program was negatively cited by the National League of Nursing for too great of work expectations on the director of the program and its faculty. This required a monitoring report by the college.

The nursing faculty asked Karen Gilpin to look into ways of adding additional full-time faculty members in order to elevate these growing pains. Due to financial constraints, simply adding another full-time instructor and its $40,000 associated cost (with benefits), was not feasible. However, Director Gilpin creatively found funds that would cover all but approximately $7,000 of this cost while raising the quality level of instruction.

This new position would replace the need for adjunct instruction for both lecture and clinicals in five classes. Additionally, the instructor could relieve necessary overloads for our current full-time instructors. This would result in a savings of $19,670, while adding the capability to offer the Pharmacology class to the Chanute campus and thereby generate more credit hours for the program.

This semester, Karen signed an agreement with Overland Park Regional Medical Center to provide a clinical instructor to the college free of charge throughout the year, which will save the college $13,249 annually in adjunct instruction.

These two savings total $32,919, leaving only $7,081 needed. With greater course efficiency and other savings the college has realize this is an attainable amount. Essentially if approved, the nursing program is getting another full time faculty member for approximately $7,000. Considering all that a full time instructor does compared to the numerous part timers, it would seem a bargain.

This nine month faculty member would be located in Chanute and would assume normal instructor duties, heavily skewed toward clinical instruction.

Resolution 2004-77

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves adding a nursing position at the Chanute campus as outlined above.

The motion was made and seconded that the above resolution be approved. Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item VIII-H.: Nursing Instructor

It was the President’s recommendation that the Board of Trustees employ Brenda Schoenecker as nursing instructor for the Chanute campus. Ms. Schoenecker holds a Master of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Wichita State University, BS in Nursing from Pittsburg State University, Associate of Applied Science in Nursing from Neosho County Community College and is a Certified Massage Therapist.

Ms. Schoenecker is presenting employed by Treatment Alternatives as a family nurse practitioner. She has also worked for Southeast Kansas Internal Medicine Associates, Kid-Screen, Wilson County Health Department, Coffeyville Regional Medical Center, and Fredonia Regional Hospital.

Ms. Schoenecker would be placed at MS-15 on the faculty salary schedule, or $36,048.

Resolution 2004-78

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College employ Brenda Schoenecker as a nursing instructor at MS-15 level.

The motion was made and seconded that the above resolution be approved. Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item VIII-I: Conveyance for Street Right-of-Way

The City of Chanute has requested that the College approve two (2) separate Conveyances For Street Right-of-Way so that it can pave Allen Street south of 14^th Street. The property deeded by the College would be twenty (20) feet off of the east side of the two lots owned by the College south and west of the main campus lying immediately south of 14^th Street.

Mr. Pringle has reviewed the documents and recommended that the request be brought before the Board. Absent a determination that conveyance of the 20 foot strip and the resulting widening of the road would impair marketability or value of the property owned by the College, Mr. Pringle recommends approving the Conveyances.

Resolution 2004-79

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves the City of Chanute’s request and conveys two (2) separate Conveyances For Street Right-of-Way on Allen Street south of 14^th Street.

The motion was made and seconded that the above resolution be approved. Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item VIII-J.: Proposed Policy for Military Reserves Called to Active Duty (first reading)

As more and more of our area military personnel are called to active duty, we found that some of those military personnel are students at NCCC. The College does not have a policy that would allow them to withdraw and receive a 100% refund of their tuition and fees. In addition, we have no policy that allows a “W”, i.e., withdraw grade be assigned unless their withdrawal occurs during our official drop/add period. The policy also allows the faculty to assign an Incomplete grade and extend beyond the nine week deadline time for the student to complete their work.

There has been at least one student who has notified the registrar that he is being called to active duty. A committee worked on developing a policy to guide the institution in such situations. The recommendation came before the Executive Committee and they recommended forwarding it to the Board.

This will be the first reading of this policy.

Military Reserves Called to Active Duty

Neosho County Community College realizes that students who are members of the military reserves may be called to active duty. This policy is provided in order to minimize disruptions or inconveniences for students fulfilling their military responsibilities.

Any student called to active military duty may withdraw from all courses and receive a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees. Housing and board charges will be prorated. Alternatively, with the permission of the instructor(s), a student may receive an incomplete for the courses not completed, with an extended period of time to complete the course beyond the usual 9 weeks allowed. Either alternative may occur anytime during the semester through the end of final examinations. If the student chooses to withdraw from his/her courses during the designated drop/add period of the semester, no entry will be made on a student’s transcript. If the student withdraws anytime after the designated add/drop period, the grade of “W” will be assigned. Students receiving financial aid will be subject to the refund policies of the agencies sponsoring the aid. A student’s request to withdraw must be made within one week of being called to active duty and may be made by either the student or other party who can provide proof of legal authorization to act upon the student’s behalf.

This policy will appear on the January Board Agenda for action.

Amended Agenda Item VIII-K: Personnel

1. Resignation

Brett Bright, Dean of Student Development/Athletic Director, has submitted his resignation effective December 31, 2004. It was the President’s recommendation that the Board accept Mr. Bright’s resignation.

Amended Agenda Item VIII-K: Personnel

3. Athletic Director/Soccer Coach

With the resignation of Brett Bright, Dean of Student Development/Athletic Director, it provided an opportunity to review the duties and placement in the organization of that position. In discussing the Athletic Director role with Mr. Bright and Steve Murry, the assistant AD, Dr. Inbody, Sandi Solander and Ben Smith, they recommended that the Athletic Director’s position be an administrative position, to decouple it from the Dean’s position, and to combine the AD position with one of the head coaches’ position. The President concurred.

The next step was to identify if there was on staff a head coach who could move into this role. The consensus was that there was one person. All who were consulted recommended Michael Kiefer, the current men’s and women’s soccer coach as that person. Mr. Kiefer has a Masters degree in Physical Education/Sports and Exercise Science, including several graduate courses in sports administration. He is very organized, trustworthy, and has integrity. He is respected by the other coaches. When the President discussed the position with him, she was impressed with his vision of the athletic programs as important in the learning of the student. He indicated that if he was appointed by the Board, he would remain for several years, thereby providing continuity in the AD position.

Mr. Kiefer would assume the additional duties of Athletic Director January 1, 2005. He would be paid $40,480.00 on a 12-month contract as AD and men’s and women’s soccer coach.

Resolution 2004-82

RESOLVD, That the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approve the appointment of Mike Kiefer as Athletic Director and Soccer Coach for men and women at an annual salary of $40,480.00.

The motion was made and seconded that the above resolution be approved. Motion passed unanimously.
