AGENDA GUIDELINES

The College Coordinating Committee will normally generate its agenda with items submitted by the members of the College Coordinating Committee. Others who desire items placed on a meeting's agenda should contact their College Coordinating Committee Representative. The College Coordinating Committee will assign items to appropriate committees for further work as necessary.
The College Coordinating Committee agenda will have as standing items reports from all Institutional, District and Faculty Senate committees. Recommendations from Institutional, Faculty Senate and ad hoc committees shall be presented to the College Coordinating Committee for action. Action may be delayed to allow members time to gain further understanding of an issue. Decisions from Faculty Senate on academic and professional matters shall be presented to the College Coordinating Committee for information only.
The College President is responsible for the preparation of the Board Agenda and Board Book. The College Coordinating Committee will have as a standing agenda item the review of the agenda for the Board of Trustees meetings. It is recognized that there are Board items such as closed session matters, unforeseen items and emergencies, requests by the public for matters falling within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board, and items outside the scope of the Shared Governance Committees (i.e. labor negotiations) that will require items being placed on the Board Agenda without review by the College Coordinating Committee.
The College Coordinating Committee will have as a standing agenda item the status of shared governance to determine if decisions are being made as a result of the appropriate shared governance process.
The College Coordinating Committee receives information and recommendations from Institutional, District, Faculty Senate and ad hoc committees. If the College Coordinating Committee disagrees with a recommendation from an Institutional, Faculty Senate or ad hoc committee it will be sent back to the committee with written reasons for disagreeing with the recommendation and requesting a meeting to work toward consensus. The College Coordinating Committee will receive, for information purposes only, recommendations requiring Board of Trustees' consideration from Faculty Senate before they are forwarded to the College President for addition to the Board Agenda.
