Introduction:

· Meeting convened by Tom Vani, Chair

Discussion of Notes from the Previous Meetings:

· Notes for the November 6, 2001 meeting were approved without comment or discussion.

Status Report from Committees and Working Groups:

1. Design Advisory Board

Item deferred until next meeting.

2. Academic Building Programming/Building Committee

Presenter: Bill Hyder

· Architect is in the process of being hired.

· Committee has met.

· We need to be wary of the budget and cost per square foot for the building.

3. McHenry Library Addition and Capacity Improvements/McHenry Seismic and Alterations Programming Committee

Presenters: Lan Dyson and Dave Kliger

· The entire building will be programmed as library space. Then, a piece (or pieces) will be backed-out for use as capacity space.

· Approx. 41,000 asf will be capacity space. This will likely be used in the future for collections and seats.

· About 10 years is a reasonable planning timeframe for the capacity space to be located in the Library.

· Hope to include high-tech classrooms.

· Draft PPG will need to be completed by February 2002.

· PPG won’t describe what the capacity space will look like 10 years down the road.

· Assume that (a) Chancellor’s Office moves out before construction, and (b) Capacity space units don’t move in until building is completed (seismic/alterations).

Informational/Discussion/Report Items

4. Non-State-Funded Major Capital Improvement Program

Presenter: Fran Owens

Handouts: Planning Template; Draft 5-year Plan

· The 5-year plan was requested by the Regents so they could get a broader view of this activity, rather than piece-meal requests for financing.

· This will be a public document, discussed in a political environment.

· Incorporates 3 major sections: (1) Education & General (Adaptive Optics, Ocean Health, etc); (2) Auxiliary (Housing, Parking, Student Center, etc); and (3) Infrastructure.

· Only to consider those projects with a reasonable possibility (50%) of being funded within the timeframe.

· Parking projects are dependent on resolution of fees with the Faculty Association, which brought up the question: Can faculty not be allowed to park in Core West (or other new parking spaces constructed) if they do not pay the higher rates necessary to fund it?

· There was discussion about the possibility of have 2 types of parking permits. One would allow the holder to park in any space currently allowed (for staff), while the other would not allow the holder to park in any newly constructed facility (for example, in the case where the Faculty Association did not agree to pay higher rates used to fund debt on the new facility). Alternatively, the newly constructed spaces could be coded with a special designation, which would only be assigned to those paying the full parking rate. This information was to be passed on to TAPS and/or the Transportation Advisory Committee.

· Housing/Dining:

Ø The plan outlined in the draft complies with our stated LRDP goals.

Ø A 7-12% per year increase in room/board rates are expected in order to accommodate the additional spaces.

Ø How much demand will there be as rent costs increase?

Ø Should we present a more realistic plan since a financial feasibility study has to accompany our plan?

Ø There was a stated desire to see an accounting of how housing revenues are currently used.

· Student Services: All items are pending student referendum for new fees.

· Chancellor Approved Projects (includes staging, moving, unit renovations, etc) act as a “catch all” for projects less than $5M in cost and do not involve debt or new space.

5. State Funded Major Capital Improvement Program

Presenters: Fran Owens and Meredith Michaels

Handout: 5 year State Major Capital Improvement Program

· Do not expect to know about the Governor’s economic stimulus package before January.

· Do not have more information regarding status of switch to “lease-revenue” bonds for the Engineering Building.

· PPG for Silicon Valley Center will be needed around Spring 2002 in order to meet schedule in 02-07 MCIP.

· Emergency Response Center location is planned for the Corp Yard, with equipment storage at the propane site.

· The Arts is seeking a major donor to fund construction of a campus museum/art gallery.
