The Chico Center, Glenn County and Skyway Centers participate in the annual unit plan process which is the Administrative Program Review.
THe CHC / GCC/ SC all will continue their dedication to the educational experience and improvement through ongoing planning and assessment. A continued focus will be on safety of staff, students and faculty. This will be done by increasing precautionary measures and surveillance and hopefully increased police presence. Continued focus on communication will be a focus as well as a focus on providing equal support services to offsite students at all locations.
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 is expected to increase even more when the bike lane is completed in summer 2018. 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 first and second floors
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 - Adult Changing Tables at CHC and GCC
Adult changing table for disabled students to be installed in CHC and GCC.
AB 662, Bonilla. Public accommodation: disabled adults; changing facilties. The federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the California Building Standards Code require that specific building, structure and facilties be accessible to, and usable by, persons with disablilities.
This bill would require a person, private firm, organization, or corporation that owns or manages a commercial place of public amusement, as defined, constructed on or after Jan 1, 2020, or renovated on or after January, 1, 2025, to install and maintain at least one adult changing station, as defined, for a person with a physical disability, as specified. The bill would require a facility to ensure that the entrance to each adult changing station has conspicuous signage indicating its location, and if the facility has a central directory , ensure that the central directory indicates the location of the adult changing station.
While institutions of higher education fall outside the description of "commerical place of public amusement," our campus should not be exempt from providing this basic necessity for our students. The ADA does not require this type of table, but it is estimated that over 53,000 disables persons could benefit from adult diaper changing facilities. The District should aim to improve access for adults with physical disabilities that need an adequate facility to assist with changing of diapers; this access should be at all Butte campuses. As the number of persons with disabilities continues to grow, the need for access to adult changing stations will be more apparent. Proper restroom accommodations are necessary for the health and safety of students.
Currently, special education departments in California school districts provide for restroom accomodations including a changing table and a lift so students with disabilities can comfortably and safely attend to thier needs.
CHC and Glenn already have designated spaces for the adult changing tables. The purchased items would include: changing table, hoist, sling.
Strategy 8 - GCC Back Door with Crash-bar
Back door of GCC with crash-door to be installed for safety
The safety issue of maintaining a single point-of-entry has already been discussed with Campus Police and Facilities and a PRF submitted. The back door needs to be an emergency exit only.
Strategy 9 - GCC Handicap parking and wheelchair accessible ramp
This work has to be completed along with the crash door being installed
Once the back door is replaced, we would like to request handicap parking near the front door entrance, although the distance from the current location near the back door is still in compliance.
Strategy 10 - MADICO Protekt safety & Security Window Film
MADICO Protekt safety and secuity film for CHC, Glenn, and Skyway Centers. The safety 8 mil provides solar protection and increased safety all in one comprehensive product.
Benefits are invisible protection, reduced heat gain, lowers energy costs, holds broken glass together, rejects over 99% of UV rays, slows fading of fabrics, flooring. Other school districts have installed this product as a safety precaution as it prevents people from seeing in and can also protect against glast-mitigation in a bomb blast. In addition, CHC, Glenn and Skyway Centers are aging and having to replace blinds due to breakage. Protekt window film would be a long term solution to repacing window blinds.
Strategy 11 - Tracking Software for mobile labs - LowJack
Tracking software for mobile labs x3 (Glenn-1 & CHC-2) to prevent theft.
Tracking software for mobile labs x3 (Glenn-1 & CHC-2) to prevent theft. One tablet was stolen from the CHC mobile lab and although investigated by Butte Police, it was never recovered. This software would protect 86 individual notebooks/thin clients for 3 mobile labs.
Strategy 12 - Bus-stop Shelter for GCC
Provide covering for students when they are waiting for the bus or building to open
The GCC building exterior is flush (flat) with no outdoor covering or eaves to protect students from the elements. Some students are dropped off or ride the bus in the morning before we open. On very windy days, very hot days or when it rains they are left outside. A covered bus stop would offer them protection from the elements. The BC bus does not have a route to Orland so the students rely on the Glenn Ride county bus for transportation . The GR does not have a covered bus stop across the street where the pick up is or on the BC premises where they drop off.
Strategy 13 - GCC Security Cameras
Updraded security cameras with recording capabilities
Top priority for safety of students and staff at GCC. The GCC camera system is so old that its not compatible with the computers anymore. User support has not been successful in installing updates. Given the Glenn Center does not have security by Campus Police, the cameras are imperative. Right now the evening supervisors cannot access the camera system from their personal accounts. They are logging into a generic student assistant account in order to access the camera. The camera does not offer a clear view of people, has a time-delay and doesn't record. They should be upgraded to the same system used at the Main Campus and CHC.
Strategy 14 - 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 15 - 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. In the past, Enrollment Management funds have covered some items such as monitors to enhance outreach and marketing. Also, student equity is currently supporting tutoring services and CAS services in Glenn. We would like to see the Campus purchase a web-based room request and event scheduling software application to assist with managing room usage and reservations at the Chico, Glenn and Skyway Centers.
