Current Program

The Vice President of Administration oversees the daily operations of the college, including Staff Support Services, Payroll-Personnel, the Business Office, the Sheriff Station, Budget and Purchasing, Management Information Systems, Environmental Services/Physical Plant and general services to students such as parking grievances and incident reporting. In recent years the workload in the Administration Office has increased, requiring the addition of an Office Assistant to help with clerical support; this increase has been due in part to Proposition A projects, including many additional short and long term projects involving planning, budgeting and scheduling.

Personnel - a Vice President and three full-time classified staff members are employed in the Administration Office.

Equipment - The office currently needs a new copy machine, a new fax machine and upgrades on its computers and printers.

Facilities - The current office space is too small, with no real reception area for guests. New carpeting is needed.

Future Program

Projected student enrollment growth and changes in area demographics (including an influx of foreign-born and immigrant students) will impact the workload of the office, with an increase expected in the workload, especially for special projects, in both the mid term (five years) and in the long term (ten years) commensurate with the increase in college enrollment.

Personnel - See Projected Faculty and Staff Needs.

Equipment - The office needs a scanner as well as a new copy machine and a new fax machine. Computers need to be replaced within the next five years, and again within the next ten years.

Facilities - A conference room is needed, along with additional storage space for equipment and archives. In time, more space will be needed to operate effectively. To operate more efficiently, Budget and Purchasing and Personnel and Payroll need to be closer to the Administration Office. All of these offices are scheduled to be relocated with Proposition A funds.

Staff Development - Personal development classes for job advancement, classes designed especially for college employees, and workshops on college policies and procedures are suggested topics for Staff Development activities.
