Windmill

Windmill ready to ship.Engineer ready to come here.Need project director.If we do it on the campus, the entitlement (permitting process) will be fairly rigorous so we are being asked to explore if we may place it at the hi-tech center.MauiCC may not benefit; MHPCC and University of Hawaii may benefit.Clyde informed Dave Lassner of the possibility.�� We are checking to see if there is anyone within the University who could serve as a project manager.

 

Outreach: polycomm, staff, travel

Senator Hee expressed an interest in outfitting Hana with a Polycomm system.Require personnel for other outreach sites.Positions distributed among Hana, Lanai, Molokai, Kihei, West Maui.ee Hee

 

Representative Waters would like to have bullets from us as soon as possible.He is going to amend the bill to include additional items for a hearing to be held on February 9.�� The bill must go through subject matter committee to money committee which are the House Finance Committee and Senate Ways and Means Committee.

 

Hawaiian Positions

Senator Hee has agreed to support two Hawaiian faculty positions; one position in Hawaiian Language and one in Hawaiian Studies.He has added another position for a total of three positions.

 

Positions would be listed in one ad and would refer people to the MCC website.Senator is requiring that we indicate �pending availability of funds� in the ad and be prepared to start this Fall semester.We will know in May whether or not we will receive the funds.We should plan on adding classes for the two Native Hawaiian positions and the Workforce Development positions.

 

Academic Senate Budget Committee

Helpful to let our representatives and senators know our story.Need to develop informational sheet.

Frozen positions are positions that were frozen to make loan repayment.Monies will be restored next year to fill the positions. Ellen Hara�s Clerk-Typist and the HSS Clerk-Typist positions should be added to frozen list.�� July 1 is targeted as refill date.

 

In funding positions we need to analyze the status of our tuition fees special funds.

We are currently projecting a shortage of $70,000 for spring.flo estimates that lectureship funds is underspent by $60,000, which would leave us $10,000 short.
