Board Makes Plans for `99 and Beyond in Work Session at Sylvania Jan. 28

Story by

The Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Board of Directors will come together to map out the college’s goals, legislative objectives for 1999 and tentative bond issue plans at a work session on Thursday, Jan. 28 in the Sylvania Room at the Sylvania Campus, 12000 S.W. 49th Ave.

It promises to be a busy planning session, starting at 7 p.m. with a discussion on the mission and goals of the college. This discussion and review follows feedback from employees after receiving the goals statement from Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ President Daniel Moriarty in August. The board will review the feedback of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ employees regarding its present set of goals and mission statement.

After a brief review of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Ethics Statement concerning board policy on conflicts of interest, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Director of Public Affairs Jan Coulton will detail Ä¢¹½´«Ã½’s legislative agenda and advocacy plans for 1999.

Closing out the meeting will be a discussion on the future of a Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ capital bond measure, following the narrow defeat of a $135.5 million bond in last November’s general election. Issues to be discussed include the timing of the bond election, the possible content of the bond and a brief overview of an advocacy campaign for the bond.

The work session is scheduled to adjourn at 9:15 p.m.
