X. SPECIAL REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. Chancellor: We will have update on the budget in late May when we meet for a budgetretreat. We are waiting on the state budget estimates.

For the spring semester we finished the semester up almost +1/2% in student headcountand down in credit hours. For the summer we are up +12% in headcount and +7% incredit hours. For the fall we are up +17% in headcount and +9.5% in credit hours.

Texas Legislative update – the proposals as of right now show we are flat. We are downapproximately $500,000 in appropriations but up approximately $500,000 in workforceprograms. Our operating budget from the state should remain the same.

National Updates – The recent proposal – American Families Plan--shows adding about $1400 to the basic Pell grant and the number of Pell students would increase. It pays for tuition, books, fees and supplies. It doesn’t pay for transportation costs and miscellaneous costs. Another part of the plan provides grants for innovative programs such as diversity, hiring efforts, technology, wrap around services and aid to Dreamers. Lone Star College has approximately 2,600 DACA students. The idea of free college is that for every $3 of federal money that state would match $1. We are checking to see if we can use grant money as the $1 match. There is a long way to go with these discussions. Federal Stimulus Grants – We have made 34,000 grants to students in the amount of $32M so far. We have another $140M to go through this year and through possibly 2024. We have given out 30,000 Pell grants this year and $100M in federal and state money. Students have taken out another $70M in loans. Dr. Head gave an overview of the student recognitions including Phi Theta Kappa, Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship semi-finalists, Model United Nations, and other organizations that have awarded our students scholarships and grants. Trustee Good asked for Dr. Head to explain what the Jack Kent Cooke scholarship means to the students that receive it. LSC Commencement ceremonies will be held on the following dates: May 13, 2021, 6:00 p.m. LSC-Tomball, May 14, 2021, 5:00 p.m. LSC-North Harris and LSC-UP; 6:00 p.m. LSC-CyFair and LSC-Montgomery; May 15, 2021 10:00 a.m. LSC-Kingwood and 1:00 p.m. LSC-Houston North. LSC saw a record breaking 9,295 students graduating with a degree or certificate, a 5% increase over last year. Trustee Murillo is very proud of LSC on how quickly they were able to transition quickly during COVID. Mr. Murillo asked about students that are taking online classes and how students can stay involved. How much do we determine is too much online? Dr. Head indicated that surveys have been sent out to students and the students will be dictating how we handle our schedules. The fall is moving toward 50% online, 25% hybrid and 25% face to face. The more vaccinations we get will determine how many classes will be face to face classes. Mr. Vogt entered the meeting at 2:40 p.m.

2. Faculty Senate Presidents: Ms. Fay Lee, faculty senate president at LSC-CyFair, gave a presentation on Faculty Rise Up. Ms. Lee gave an overview of each campus and what they did to help students be successful during the pandemic.

Consideration of Consent Agenda Board Meeting 5-6-21

Consent Agenda:

A roll call of individual action items will determine the consent agenda. If a trustee has a question or plans to cast a negative vote regarding a specific recommendation, then the trustee/trustees need to acknowledge their intention to the Chair by show of hand during the roll call: this action item will be considered in the regular order of business as an individual action item.

Those action items that the trustees plan to approve without further question or discussion will be placed on the consent agenda during roll call of individual action items. Upon the creation of the consent agenda, a motion, a second to the motion, and unanimous approval of the Board of Trustees is needed to approve the action items. Upon approval of the consent agenda, the Board of Trustees will proceed with the remainder of the agenda.

Rationale: The consent agenda format is an organization process for meetings that allows the governing board to focus their time and attention on action items that require more elaboration, information, and/or discussion. The intent of the consent agenda is to support efficiency and effectiveness of the meeting.

ACTION ITEM 1 Board Meeting 5-6-21

Policy Report and Consideration No. A

Request: Consideration of Approval of a One-Year Exception to the Lone Star College (the “College”) Board Policy Manual Section VI.B.1.08 Dual Credit Tuition Waiver

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approve a one-year exception to the College’s Board Policy Manual Section VI.B.1.08 Dual Credit Tuition Waiver to give the College discretion to exempt required fees in addition to tuition for Texas high school students enrolled in dual credit courses.

Rationale: Texas Education Code Section 54.216 allows the governing board of an institution of higher education to waive all or part of the tuition and fees charged by the institution for a student enrolled in a dual credit course. Board Policy Manual Section VI.B.1.08 currently waives all dual credit tuition for Texas high school students but gives the College discretion to charge fees. The tuition simplification implemented Fall 2020 transitioned almost all fees into tuition. This has the unintended consequence of waiving a larger amount to dual credit students than was intended. The College would like an exception from the current Board Policy to prevent a decrease in tuition revenue as the result of students utilizing the dual credit tuition waiver.

Fiscal Impact: Beginning in Fall 2020 most mandatory fees were waived resulting in revenues from dual credit students of $2 per credit hour. The Board granted an exemption for the 2020-2021 academic year resulting in revenue of $26 per credit hour. The current board policy would result in a decrease in revenues of $20 per credit hour. This proposal would allow the College to maintain revenues of $26 per credit hour from dual credit students resulting in no fiscal impact to the College.

Curriculum Report and Consideration No. B

Request: Consideration of Approval to Deactivate the Lone Star College (the “College”) Accounting Advanced Technical Certificate (“ATC”) at Lone Star College-North Harris (“LSC-North Harris”)


That the Board of Trustees approve deactivating the College Accounting ATC at LSC-North Harris, effective in Fall 2021.

Rationale: The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires that the College’s Board of Trustees approve program deactivations.

Demand in the Houston/The Woodlands/Sugarland Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”) is healthy for Certified Public Accountants (source: Economic Modeling Specialists International (“EMSI”), Houston MSA, February 2020-January 2021). However, enrollment in this award has declined significantly at LSC-North Harris in the last couple of years; thus, making the program not economically viable to continue offering. This certificate will continue to be offered at other campuses, allowing students opportunities for completion of the certificate within the College.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Deactivate the Lone Star College (the “College”) Certificates in Appendix A at Lone Star College-CyFair (“LSC-CyFair”), Lone Star College-North Harris (“LSC-North Harris”), and Lone Star College-Tomball (“LSC-Tomball”)


That the Board of Trustees approve deactivating the College Certificates in Appendix A at LSC-CyFair, LSC-North Harris, and LSC-Tomball prior to the beginning of the fall 2021 semester.

Rationale: The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires that the College’s Board of Trustees approve program deactivations.

Demand in the Houston/The Woodlands/Sugarland Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”) shows low job prospects for related occupations per labor market data specific to the Certificates in Appendix A. (source: Economic Modeling Specialists International (“EMSI”), Houston MSA, February 2020-January 2021). Enrollment in all these awards has declined significantly at all campuses requesting deactivation.

Financial Report and Consideration No. D

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Adopt a Prevailing Wage Rate in Accordance with the U.S. Department of Labor Davis-Bacon Act Rates and to Follow the U.S. Department of Labor Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage Rates for Fiscal Year 2022


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or a designee to adopt annually a Prevailing Wage Rate in accordance with the U.S. Department of Labor Davis-Bacon Act rates for applicable College projects. The Chancellor recommends that the Board of Trustees follow the U.S. Department of Labor Davis-Bacon Act Prevailing Wage Rates from September 1, 2021 until August 31, 2022.

Rationale: When applicable, College contractors and subcontractors that work on the construction of a public work, paid for at least in part by public funds, must pay its workers the College’s adopted Prevailing Wage Rates.



Exhibit "F"


Financial Report and Consideration No. E

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Amend the Existing Interlocal Agreement Between Lone Star College (the “College”) and The University of Texas Health Science Center (“UT”) for the Employee Assistance Program (“EAP”)


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to amend the existing Interlocal Agreement between the College and UT, 7000 Fannin, Suite 1670, Houston, TX 77030, for the EAP to add all part-time employees for eligible services at $1.35 per person, per month with an estimated additional cost of $21,730 through August 31, 2021.

Rationale: The College currently offers EAP services to all full-time employees. The EAP provides confidential counseling and consultative services with mental health professionals; including services for stress and anxiety, depression, alcohol or drug problems, family and parenting concerns, and other life concerns. These services are confidential; the College receives no information of persons who use this service, and the College has historically provided this benefit to full-time employees. The College is now asking the Board of Trustees to extend that benefit to part-time employees for the remainder of the current Agreement. The College will ask to include part-time employees in the forthcoming renewal agreement as well, at a later date. Note that the additional cost is an estimate because the number of part-time employees can vary month to month.

Texas Government Code Chapter 791 authorizes the College and UT to execute an Interlocal Agreement for EAP services.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are included in the approved FY 2021 budget.

Financial Report and Consideration No. F

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Negotiate and Execute a Contract on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) for the Purchase of an Advanced Maintenance Agreement Plan for Lone Star College-Corporate College (“LSC-Corporate College”)


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract on behalf of the College with Drilling Systems, 1427 Vander Wilt Lane, Katy, TX 77449 to purchase an Advanced Maintenance Plan Agreement for a sum not exceeding $100,000 for a four-year period.

Rationale: On November 1, 2018, the Board of Trustees approved the purchase of a Drilling Rig Simulation System for Lone Star-Corporate College. The College accepted the Factory Authorized Test in February 2020 and its delivery at the Energy Manufacturing Institute on March 2020.

This agreement is for maintenance, software, and support of the RigSIM-600 simulators, as the original warranty period of one year is about to expire. This plan requires a minimum obligation period of four years and the annual fee is $25,000.

This equipment is used for training students as Assistant Drillers and Drillers at a variety of levels. The program trains students using the current standards and accepted methodologies for oil and gas drilling to create highly competent, safe, and skilled graduates. In addition, the program provides a training environment that embraces cutting-edge technology in the profession, which is based upon real time training relevant and related to current industry technology and standards.

Fiscal Impact: $25,000 for this purchase is available from the approved FY 2021 budget. Funds for subsequent fiscal years will be included in future proposed budgets.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Waive Board Policy Section III.D.2.9. Contract Term Limits and to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Amend the Contract on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) for the Training Facility Access and Use Agreement (“Agreement”) with Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, LLC (“Baker Hughes”)


That the Board of Trustees waive Board Policy Section III.D.2.9. Contract Term Limits and authorize the Chancellor or designee to extend the Agreement with Baker Hughes through August 31, 2023 and purchase up to $500,000 in additional oil rig training and facility use services. In addition, the Board of Trustees authorizes the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute the specific project scope of work agreements.

Rationale: On February 4, 2016, the Board of Trustees approved Baker Hughes to provide oil rig training and facility use services. The College and Baker Hughes executed the one-year Agreement on May 6, 2016. Following subsequent Board authorizations, the College and Baker Hughes amended the Agreement to have a five-year term with up to $2,000,000 in expenditures. The Agreement expired May 5, 2021.

Board Policy Section III.D.2.9. requires long-term contracts to not exceed five years including any renewals and amendments. This waiver will allow the Agreement to extend past five years.

This proposed amendment is to extend the Agreement up to two years and will allow the College to use the facilities for six weeks during each year. Baker Hughes will reduce the annual cost from $400,000 to $250,000 if we commit to a 2-year contract.

The Baker Hughes facility has been utilized by faculty and students from LSC-CyFair, LSC-North Harris, and LSC-University Park with the AAS programs and Lone Star Corporate College.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Purchase Office Supplies


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to purchase office supplies from Staples Advantage, 6400 Hollister, Houston, TX 77040 for a total sum not to exceed $2,500,000 over a five-year period.

The Chancellor recommends that the two firms with the highest evaluation score each be awarded a contract. If negotiations cease with Yellowstone Landscape – Central, Inc., 10892 Shadow Wood, Houston, Texas 77043 or Rotolo Consultants Inc., 9525 Katy Freeway, Houston, Texas 77024, the College may proceed to negotiate with the next firm in order of selection ranking with a score of not less than 70 until a contract is executed.

Rationale: Landscaping and grounds maintenance services are required to maintain the general appearance and upkeep of the campuses.

The recommended vendors will provide routine care and maintenance services including mowing, edging, trimming of ground cover, manual weed control, light pruning, application of pest control chemicals, fertilization, and pre- and post-emerge lawn herbicides and irrigation inspections. Additional services may be requested that are outside the normal scope of services and will be quoted based on specific requirements. Periodic performance reviews will be scheduled at each campus throughout the term of the contract to ensure efficiency and effectiveness of the work performed.

In compliance with Texas Education Code Section 44.031 (a), a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) #737 was publicly advertised, and the College received eight responses. The College conducted evaluations of the proposals based on cost, qualifications, experience, and service needs met; references; quality of services; the extent to which certified historically underutilized business (“HUB”), minority and/or veteran or women-owned business are utilized; past performance; and completeness and thoroughness of response.

Loop South, Bellaire, TX 77401, for a sum not exceeding $125,000 for a total revised sum not to exceed $475,000 over the five-year period.

Rationale: On June 2, 2016, the Board of Trustees approved a five-year contract to purchase session initiation protocol (“SIP”) trunking and transport services from AT&T Corporation.

In compliance with Texas Education Code Section 44.031 (a) (4), this purchase is conducted using an interlocal agreement with CIS.

Request: Consideration of Ratification of the Emergency Purchase of Remediation Services for Lone Star College System Office-University Park (“SO-UP”)


That the Board of Trustees ratify the emergency purchase of remediation services from Hallmark Mitigation & Construction, 23846 Northcrest Trail, New Caney, Texas 77357, for a sum not exceeding $200,000.

Rationale: As a result of the winter storm on February 15, 2021, Building 9 at SO-UP sustained severe water intrusion. Hallmark was called in to quickly begin remediation services to prevent any additional damage. Hallmark specializes in operational expertise in disaster recovery.

The firms approved under existing Lone Star College (the “College”) Master Service Agreements (“MSA”) had to move quickly to address the intrusion and prevent widespread loss of assets and property. Hallmark is an approved MSA vendor. Lone Star College Board Policy Manual Section III.D.2.6.(c) authorizes the College to make emergency purchases when the College’s facilities or equipment is destroyed, severely damaged, or has experienced a major unforeseen operational or structural failure. Board Policy further requires the Board to ratify emergency purchases when the purchase amount exceeds $100,000. This purchase is deemed an emergency due to the circumstances of the storm and the need to secure a firm in an expedited manner to prevent substantial impairment to the College’s essential activities.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these purchases are available from major insurance claims recovery funds. Subsequent reimbursement will occur from insurance proceeds and operating fund cash reserves, in this order.
