Chair Sammy Akeyo says since that he did not provide the updated project plan with the correct numbers, chair decides to move on to the next agenda item.
- ASBC Board of Directors Strategic Priority Initiatives 2016-2017
Last week we tabled this item rather than approve it because of the wording. Trygve Vandal says we typically do not approve documents before we actually have the document that you are approving, so there is no possibility of any conflicting intent between what we are voting to approve and what the document actually says. Evan Bowman gets the document right away and will finish editing the wording by the end of BOD meeting.
- Meeting Minutes
Student Council Secretary Mei-Ching Wu does not have the Oct. 5 and Oct. 12 meeting minutes. Jahkari Aujla-Singh suggests to take turns to take minutes as has been done in some of the governance councils. Trygve Vandal disapproves of having more than one person taking minutes. He says ASBC BOD meeting minutes should be kept consistent and because every individual’s writing style is unique we would be risking that reflecting in the minutes causing different styles, formats and langue. Additionally our minutes are legally binding so it might not be best to compare them to governance council minutes. For instance other (most) governance council meetings do not deal with allocating money. Second, they do not have to abide by the same laws that apply to our minutes, and third, the governance councils have a greater chance to review and change their minutes than we do since they meet less frequently and have more time between meetings. Also whenever meeting minutes are not done by the next meetings time and we then cannnot approve them the funding requests that were approved in those meetings are not fundable. This topic will be brought to team meeting for the sake of time.
- Chair Report
Sammy Akeyo says on Monday various of councils write recommendations to Board of Trustee regarding the presidential search. Inclusion Diversity Council recommended that everyone in search committee should take pluralism training from the outside organization which are more prestigious than what we already have in Bellevue College. They also recommend three people from each constituency, students classified, faculty and exempt, and outside community members like people from UW, Microsoft and everything to choose. They recommended that there are two pluralism advocates on the committee. Finally they recommended that the emails coming from the Office of Equity and Pluralism should be passed on to the campu s community in their entirety in order to ensure that they contain original sentiment of the email.

Faisal Jaswal is not here.

- Adjournment
No further business items.
Motion to adjourn this BOD meeting at 4:58 PM: Dariga Tugan.
Motion Seconded: Abner Pagunuran.
Motion Passes 7-0-0.
[AJ1]Abner was the one who worded the final sentence from the council of inclusion and diversity (final part of chair’s report) so he would be the best reference to ensure it is correct but I think that is right.
