1. Call to Order: 12:08pm Minutes distributed. (Any changes to be made at end of Secretary’s report to avoid time consumption.) Approval of Agenda. President requested to move Officer’s Reports to end.

No objections.

Old Business A: Election Committee updates: Tom Carter – can’t do vote due to by-law specs. Recommended by Executive Board of Senate, not general election. Removal of officers done by 2/3’s votes – majority – not automatic item. Can’t fill vacancy in same meeting as the removal of officers.

Action Item #1: Removal of Senators: Gloria Mottler, Pat Green, Olga Chao. Craig Walters moved to remove. Bernie Rosenloecher seconded motion. Discussion followed. Question of why discuss the resignations. Question called. Hand vote taken. Yes – 14; No – 0; Abstentions - 1

Ana took hand count on all in favor of consideration of removal of Olga & Gloria. Yes – 15; No – 0; Abstentions – 1. Motion passed. Ana will send notification.

Action Item #2: Filling Senate vacancies: Questions about appointments. Phil Hendricks suggested we open nominations further. Tom Carter stated that it was a point of order – Executive committee appoints. Discussion. Phil made the motion to table this until next meeting. Craig seconded motion. More discussion. Barbara Siegel made a friendly amendment that there be campus wide nominations for Senate seats. No objections. Ana made the primary motion to table filling in the Senate vacancies and that of Vice President until we can send paper notices to all. Vote taken. Yes – 14; No – 3; Abstentions – 0. Motion passes. Ana will give all names of those interested to Senate to vote on for vacancies.

Old Business B: a) Committee assignments. Ana asks if we want to table appointments or proceed. Marilyn Goodrich discussed the needs of the Student Conduct Committee. Questions followed. SCC is more of a work group, not a committee. Phil said that a work group or a committee – still shared governance. Maria made a friendly amendment to motion that Senate forwards names of those interested in serving to Disciplinarian and she would have final say on who is a part of the committee. Joanne Guercio seconded motion. Barbara called the question.

Action Items #4: Officer McNeely and Martha Jimenez already on Disciplinarian Committee – all those in favor of the motion of the Classified Senate providing a list of names to student Disciplinarian – hand vote. Yes – 10; No – 5; Abstentions – 1. Motion passes. Phil moves for ballot for two people on list (closed ballot). Barbara seconds. Discussion. All in favor of ending debate: Yes – 14; No – 0; Abstentions – 0 – passes. All in favor of voting in secret ballot: Yes – 6; No – 8; Abstentions – 0 – motion fails. Approve Student Conduct Committee members as they now are: Yes – 13; No – 1; Abstentions – 2. Motion passes.
