VI. REPORTS OF ADMINISTRATION
6.1 President’s Report
- Wal-Mart Brighter Futures Project Grant – Dr. Sharon Katterman, Director of Resource Development & Institutional Effectiveness, reported that the college is one of eight League for Innovation colleges to receive funding through the Wal-Mart Brighter Futures Project. This $3.5 million grant will provide $336,600 to Moraine Valley over two years to support dislocated workers. Dr. Katterman indicated that this will allow the college to serve about 40 dislocated workers or veterans through the two years of the grant and to follow up with them for an additional year in order to meet the requirements of the grant. Dr. Katterman also reported on a second grant that the college was just notified that it has received through the American Recovery & Readjustment Act (ARRA). This stimulus grant of $501,693, administered through the Workforce Investment Act, will allow the college to serve additional dislocated workers and veterans.|
- Campus Expansion – Rick Brennan, Director of Campus Operations, reported that the Student Services building is being carpeted and furniture will be delivered in September. It is anticipated that staff will begin moving in during the second week of October. The Moraine Business & Conference Center and Science buildings are undergoing a final cleaning in preparation for classes on Monday. The renovated parking lot is open for use; landscaping and lighting work will be completed shortly. The precast exterior of the gateway structure is being installed. Landscaping for the quad area will be completed by the first week in October.
- Tinley Park Permits – Andy Duren, Executive Vice President of Administrative Services, reported that a permit has been requested from Tinley Park to proceed with foundation-only work for the Southwest Education Center while waiting for permits from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. He indicated that the issues with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District and the Cook County Highway Department concern how storm water is removed from the site. Vuk Vujovic, of Legat Architects, explained that the building site is located on a higher part of the property and the water moves away from the building site. He indicated that the college would not be required to move the building to address any water issues. The possibility also exists to create an additional detention pond on the site if required. At the recommendation of the administration, the Board members present were in favor of proceeding.
Dr. Crawley reported that the college’s proposed fiscal year 2010 budget has been placed on public display for 30 days prior to approval at the September Board meeting. Questions on the budget can be addressed at the September Board Committee meeting and at a public hearing on the budget to be held prior to its approval by the Board at the regular meeting. Dr. Crawley also reported that enrollment for the fall semester is up by approximately 5% and registration continues for the rest of this week and over the weekend. As a result of additional students on campus, the college has implemented a temporary parking lot east of 86th Avenue, with a crosswalk that will be controlled with police presence during those times when it is needed.
