This will be done by increasing precausionary measures and surveailance and to increase police presence at CHC. Continued focus on providing equal support services to offsite students at CHC, Glenn, Skyway and Cosmo.
Maintain the stability of the centers management.
Strategy 1 - Chico Center Interior Paint
Repaint all interior walls on the 1st & 2nd floors of the Chico Center.
The Chico Center building is 13 years old and in need of interior paint. This estimate is for all interior walls on the 1st & 2nd floors of Chico Center. This will enhance a professional and clean appearance at the Chico Center as well as an inviting environment to learn and work.
Strategy 2 - Chico Center Classroom Lab Chair Replacement
Replace classroom computer lab chairs
The Chico Center is 13 years old and so is much of the equipment and furniture within it. The classroom computer lab chairs are used daily year-round and are in need of replacement. Broken chairs have been replaced and refurbished as needed, but there are many more needing replacement. In 2016 one of the four computer labs was furnished with new chairs. Three additional labs still require new chairs.
This is instructional furniture used primarily by students in instructional programs.
There are three computer labs with an approximate total of 70 chairs.
Strategy 3 - Chico Center Carpet Replacement
Replace carpeting at the CHC front counter reception area, faculty work area, and offices.
The Chico Center building is 13 years old and in need of carpet replacement in high traffic areas not replaced in Summer of 2016. This estimate is for the front counter reception area CHC122 (bull pen), faculty office area CHC 146 and offices {CHC 123, 133, 134, 135, and 136}. The carpet is cleaned annually, however, these high traffic areas have endured wear and are very thin, especially in CHC 122 and 146. Some areas bubbled and seperated after last cleaning and cannot withstand any further cleaning. Replacement would enhance and portray a clean and well maintained facility for students, staff and visitors.
Strategy 4 - Custodial Personnel for Chico & Skyway Centers
Custodial I, range 14A, 12 months
With the increased utilization of the Skyway Center by Contract Ed, SBDC, Economic and Workforce Development, Foster Care Kinship, 6000 sq./ft. diesel program addition, Automotive program, 9 sections of scheduled math classes in FA18, and Cal Fire, additional custodial support is needed to maintain adequate care of the facility. Currently custodial is split between the Chico Center and Skyway Center leaving Chico Center without custodial on site for a minimum of 5 hours each day during normal operating hours.
Strategy 5 - 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 6 - CHC Counseling Space
Reconfiguration/remodel of CHC Counseling lobby space.
To create a more efficent check-in and waiting area for students receiving counseling servcies.
Strategy 7 - Paint - Skyway Center Hallways
Repaint 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 8 - 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 efficency.
Strategy 9 - CHC Desktop Computer Station Replacements
Need to replace models that are no longer suitable for IT support or use on campus as follows:
1- Optiplex 780 model from 2010 (location 122A)
4- Optiplex 390 models from 2011 (location CHC front counter)
According to IT the current computer stations are outdated and need to be replaced.
Strategy 10 - CHC Mobile Lab
Would like to purchase the same mobile lab that Glenn bought this year as it's usability is FAR superior to the current CHC mobile unit. Details below:
30 WYSE CTO 3480 Mobile Thin Clents
Ergotron Zip40 Charging Cart for MacBook
Citrix XenDesktopo Enterprise Edition - License
Chico Center has more demand for computer lab space than available which makes a mobile lab a great solution.
Currently Chico Center's mobile lab is in high demand, but unfortunately breaks down a LOT which adversely affects instructors and students as repairs take substantial time. According to IT this lab is very difficult to repair and when individual units quit operating they have to be picked up and taken out to the main campus to re-image rather than newer technology that can be serviced remotely.
Strategy 11 - 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 12 - 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 13 - Secretarial Support for Auto & Skyway Center
Secretary III, range 24, 12 months
The automotive programs function as an independent entity. In December of 2015, the department secretary which supported their area onsite two days each week, retired. With her retirement, support is now provided through the Chico Center which is significantly less than the previous on-site dedicated support to the automotive program. This position could also serve as receptionist to Skyway Center West. With increased classes being offered, the new 6000 sq./ft. diesel build moving forward and many other activites occuring at the Skyway Center it is critical to have a reception presence. Skyways close proximity to the Chico Center confuses many. In placing a position in the reception area, students, employees and the community will have a point of contact for the college.
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.
