The Chico Center, Glenn County and Skyway Centers participate in the annual unit plan process which is the Administrative Program Review.
Strategy 1 - Law Enforcement Personnel for Chico and Skyway Centers
Law Enforcement Officer Range 2A, 12 months
The Chico Center accommodates thousands of students on a daily basis. By sheer numbers, there is a need for law enforcement presence during building hours. Transient population has increased at CHC and has increased even more since the bike lane was completed . Adding an additional officer dedicated to the CHC would ensure both day and evening coverage necessary for a safe working and learning environment.
Strategy 2 - TV(2) in CHC lobby
The CHC lobby is a great space to promote programs and market enrollment. There should be TVs mounted in the lobby to capture students attention and advertise deadlines. The set-up for these TVs already exists in both lobbies. Costs is for equipment (computer, mount, & TV).
TVs like those used at GCC and main campus in numerous locations would promote all services provided to students at the CHC. It will be utilized to promote events and publicize deadlines. It would be a marketing tool to promote student services - counseling availability, graduation and transfer application deadlines, student workshops, etc. It would also be employed to highlight event dates, trainings, etc.
Strategy 3 - CHC lobby Chair replacement
Replace chairs in lobby areas on second floor
The lobby chairs are 14 years old and have been cleaned numerous times but are worn out and shabby. Not sure how many more cleanings the furniture can withstand without tearing. The lobby chairs are the originals from when the CHC first opened. They are used daily, year-round, and are in need of replacement. Replacement of lobby furniture would enhance and portray a clean and well maintained facility for students, staff and visitors providing a professional appearance to the CHC.
Strategy 4 - Paint - Skyway Center Hallways
Re-paint interior hallways and corridors of the Skyway Center.
Skyway Center is nearly six years old and is in need of an interior paint refresh. This estimate is for the hallways and corridors which will help maintain and enhance a clean environment to learn and work.
Strategy 5 - Blinds for Glenn Center
Estimate is for all Glenn Center windows: classrooms and student lounge.
Butte Facilities advised replacement of aged blinds to increase HVAC efficiency.
Strategy 6 - Lactation Room for CHC
Lactation room to be installed in old storage IT room (CHC 242) on second floor of CHC. Any items in the room would be moved to their larger space next door (CHC 243).
The law requires employers to provide a place for nursing that is not a bathroom. It must be completely private so that no one can see inside the space and no one is able to enter the space while it is being used. The current practice of lending office space to students and employees is not compliant. Facilities has agreed that the new private space will include: chair, small table, waste basket, at least one electrical outlet, a door that can be locked from the inside, and sink.
Sink installation would require adding a waterline and wasteline and some HVAC as there is none currently in the room. FPM says this will be an easier convert than other suggested rooms in CHC.
Strategy 7 - Conversion of CHC 134 to smart technology and conference space
CHC 134 is used by numerous departmetns and is the only meeting space in the CHC. It needs to be modified for the use of smart technology.
This space needs to be user friendly and allow for ultimate efficiency ehn conducting interviews or a meeting.
Strategy 8 - Signage on GCC emergency exit door
signage needed for emergency exit door
Door has been installed and signage needed to keep people from exiting back door.
Strategy 9 - Mobile computer lab Willows site
mobile lab for 30 needed at willows HS location to support four classes a year
All sites should support student learning the same
Strategy 10 - Mileage reimbursement for Glenn and Willows
Glenn budget covers gas reimbursment for folks working at two sites in one day in Glenn County
This budget needs to be increased as the current amount is not covering whats needed and this is a board policy that folks get gas reimbursement if teaching at two locations on the same day.
Strategy 11 - Flyers to Advertise Glenn County Offerings
Specific mailers to Glenn community
Glenn County does not have its own advertising agency such as radio, TV or newspaper. We need to get the word out about classes and sevices offered in Orland. Mailing a flyer to homes in the community that are specific to the center in Orland as opposed to the general BC mailers would be a way to increase enrollment.
Strategy 12 - Student Assitant funding GCC and CHC
We rely on SA coverage at both locations on a daily basis
We dont have enough funding to cover the SA needs at both locations and FWS funds are limited and often hard to find FWS students to work in Glenn in particular.
Strategy 13 - Paint CHC inside
CHC needs to be painted as it is 15 years old
Looking bad
Strategy 14 - carpet to finish recarpeting chc
finish new carpet replacement
almost all carpet areas have been replaced but space in faculty office area offices needs to be finished.
The Centers' budget are the only source of guaranteed funds for the Chico, Glenn and Skyway Centers. However, facilities will often cover some of the repairs and upgrades to the Centers when they can or use safety funds when applicable. Lisa Delaby recently covered the cost of some flyers and a billboard to enhance marketing in Glenn.
