Prop M Bond Project Scenarios

WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS ?

• Do several medium projects and multiple small projects

• Do 1 large project, 1 medium project and maybe a small project or 2• Do 1 large project and a bunch of small projects

• Do 1 medium project and as many small projects as possible

NOTE: Each “large” project represents approximately 67% of the total available remaining funding.

Prop M Bond Project Rationale

• Projects need to stay within the District Education and Facilities Master Plan concepts and

Prop M Bond language

PROJECT PRIORITIZATION CONSIDERATIONS

• Focus on “Mission Critical” items that align with new SCFF (retention and completion),

student success, guided pathways and the Mission of the College

• Doing the best we can knowing that there are disadvantages to any option/mix of projects

considered

• Student focused: Have the greatest impact on/for students

Prop M Bond Project Influences

• The proposed project plan was influenced by various ideas and discussions held with different

groups and individuals over the past months prior to the Executive Administration’s final

recommendation

Prop M Bond Proposed Project Scenario

FALLBROOK CENTER – Modular Purchase and Beautification ($10M) Change paving, add wider front porches and shade structures, signage, references to Native American culture – Design to

allocated budget

EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION MODIFIED RECOMMENDED PROJECT LISTTHE “TEAM” APPROACH

STUDENT SERVICES ($54.5M)• Welcome Center – “Get on the Path”

For staff and students (all onboarding functions) – Design to allocated budget• Retention Center – “Stay on the Path”

All retention functions including CTE, workforce, career and student clubs – Design to allocated budget

UPGRADES/SMALL PROJECTS ($22M) Includes instructional and institutional improvements (projects will be prioritized by Executive Administration after

consideration of input from SPC and constituent groups)

ATHLETICS ($65M) Refined scope and approach to free up funding for other Prop M projects – Design to allocated budget

Prop M Bond Proposed Project Scenario

• Projects do not substantially increase the operational costs to the District

BENEFITS OF PROPOSED PROJECTS

• Leaves the District in a strong position to pursue next Bond

• Align our spaces on main campus with guided pathways and needed focus on re-organization, retention and completion

• Utilize existing buildings to get most bang for buck

• Will still offer instruction at Fallbrook, build programs and partnerships, and move to lease additional portables

• Support immediate infrastructure and basic needs of the college

• Beautification efforts at Fallbrook will transform the campus as we grow

Prop M Bond Project Process

• Submit final proposed Executive Administration Proposed Prop M Project list to Governing Board for review and approval at May 12, 2020 meeting

PROPOSED PROJECT PROCESS

• Present Executive Administration proposed project list to Strategic Planning Council (SPC) and seek feedback from constituent groups at 4/7/20 meeting

• Receive feedback from SPC at second meeting and take into consideration comments received at 4/21/20 meeting
