REVISIONS TO STUDENT FEE SCHEDULE

BACKGROUND Education Code 76300-76395 authorizes the Governing Board to approve various fees to be levied for materials and services provided by the District. Since Board Policy 5030 Fees, states that “Fee amounts shall be approved by the Board of Trustees semiannually to coincide with the publication and posting of catalog and schedules each year and shall be published in the college catalogs and schedules.” the Administration requests that the Board suspend BP 5030 at this time. According to Board Policy 2415 Suspension of Policies, Bylaws and Regulations, “Policies, bylaws and Board adopted regulations may be suspended by four (4) affirmative votes of the existing Governing Board, which vote will be taken by roll call and will be entered in the minutes of the meeting. This will be used with discretion.” Since the Board’s approval of revisions to the Student Fee Schedule at their February 22, 2006, meeting, the Administration has received requests from two departments to modify fees. The attached schedule for the 2006-2007 fiscal year, reflects the following revisions: Dormitory Rates: From: $10.02 per day/single room To: $10.00 per day/single room From: $20.04 per day/double room To: $20.00 per day/double room The Dormitory rate change will result in more accurate record keeping.

tem, which includes the University of California, the California State University, and the California Community Colleges; and

• the total unmet facilities needs for the community college system have been estimated at approximately $18.1 billion to fund needed new facilities and upgrade existing build-ings to meet enrollment growth and provide students access to new technologies; and

• California’s historical policy of access to higher education for all eligible students is threatened, and

• passage of the Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006 would provide the Shasta-Tehama-Trinity Joint Community College District with funds to construct the Library Annex; and

RESOLUTION REGARDING PROPOSITION 1D – THE KINDERGARTEN-UNIVERSITY PUBLIC EDUCATION FACILITIES BOND ACT OF 2006 August 9, 2006 Page 2 • the Shasta-Tehama-Trinity Joint Community College District believes that every effort

should be made to inform voters about the impact of passage of the Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006 on local residents and students and their community college(s);

• the Board of Trustees of the Shasta-Tehama-Trinity Joint Community College District supports the Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006 and encourages students and voters to become aware of the pros and cons of passage of the Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006 and the im-pact of its passage upon community colleges.

BACKGROUND Dr. Julian Fuentes has provided physician services at Shasta College since August 2003. In 2003, his hourly rate was set at $90 per hour, with the intention of also covering the cost of the malpractice insurance he purchased exclusively for his work at the college. NOR-CAL Mutual has notified Dr. Fuentes that his annual malpractice premium will be in-creased from $1,763 to $4,200, starting August 22, 2006. This increase is only due to general increases in the industry, and not due to any personal claims. To accommodate this premium increase, Dr. Fuentes will charge $100 per hour, starting August 22, 2006, as shown in his attached letter. The Student Health and Wellness Ser-vices budget for contract services is able to accommodate this increase. The Student Health and Wellness Services Department desires to retain the excellent physician ser-vices of Dr. Fuentes for the students of Shasta College. RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent/President recommends that the Board approve the increase in Dr. Fuentes’ hourly rate, as presented.
