Personnel 1. ABE Instructor at Fort Scott Community College It was the president’s recommendation that the Board approve the appointment of Aubrey Duft as ABE Instructor at the Fort Scott Community College. Ms. Duft has a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Pittsburg State University. Ms. Duft’s prior work experience includes teaching at-risk 3-5 year olds for SEK-CAP, Pittsburg; student teaching at Lakeside Elementary School, Pittsburg; bank teller at University Bank, Arma; assistant manager for Café Del Rio, Pittsburg; and daycare assistant for Delinda’s Daycare, Nevada, MO. Ms. Duft will be paid an annual salary of $25,500 (Management Support) beginning February 17, 2014. 2 2. Request for Early Retirement In accordance with Board Policy, Joan LaRue requested early retirement under the Early Retirement Incentive Plan A. Her retirement will be effective July 1, 2014. She will be eligible for 21% of her current salary for four years ($12,615.33) and has requested the payments begin in July 2014. Ms. LaRue began working for the college August 1, 1977, as a nursing instructor. She was among those instrumental in initiating the nursing program’s Associate of Applied Science degree.

It was the president’s recommendation that the Board approve Ms. LaRue’s request for early retirement effective July 1, 2014. VI. Reports A. Economic Development Abatement – Murray McGee with the city economic development office gave the trustees information about joining a neighborhood revitalization program in conjunction with the Neosho County Commissioners. This would extend the tax refund for large scale developments and improvements to properties to the nearly entire county as opposed to just the city of Chanute. It is a multi-step process and both entities would have to agree to this plan. Murray gave the trustees information on how we could proceed if the College wanted to move forward. The Trustees asked the president to start the first stage, a public hearing, at the March Board meeting. B. Faculty Senate Report – Dr. Ethan Smilie gave a report on the Faculty Senate. See attachment. C. Technology Report – Kerry Ranabargar reported on the activities of the Technology Department. See attachment. D. Treasurer’s Report – Sandi Solander gave a treasurer’s report.

Upon motion by Charlie Boaz and second by Dennis Peters the above resolution was approved. Motion passed unanimously. 7 B: Chanute Science Labs Title III Design Build Contract – Phase III This design build contract will provide the Title III-funded renovation to the remaining two science labs on the Chanute campus, specifically, the chemistry/physics lab and the microbiology/anatomy & physiology lab. Title III will provide funding for portions of the two science labs and associated equipment. The Title III contract for this renovation project totals $144,557.92. A copy of the contract is attached. The definition of “equipment” in the Title III grant for year 5 is: two Vent/Fume Hoods with Laminar Flow Hood to Roof for the chemistry/physics lab and the microbiology/anatomy & physiology lab at the main campus – Sub-Total $78,915.00. For “renovation,” the grant indicates the science labs at the main campus will be renovated to add counter and storage space, and fume hoods – Sub-Total $65,642.92. Total of the two project components is $144,557.92. The funding for this project has no impact on the general fund of the college and draws funding from only Title III. Once the scope of the entire project has been finalized, an additional design build contract will follow next month detailing other renovations to the Stoltz Hall science labs and other areas. It was the president’s recommendation that the Board approve the design/build contract for the Chanute Science Labs Title III Design Build Contract as specified for $144,557.92 with Loyd Builders of Ottawa, KS. Resolution 2014-04 RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves the design/build contract for the Chanute Science Labs Title III Design Build Contract as specified for $144,557.92 with Loyd Builders of Ottawa, KS. Upon motion by Dennis Peters and second by Charles Boaz the above resolution was approved. Motion passed unanimously. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 C: Pathways Declaration Recently the College successfully completed the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) reaccreditation process, receiving no required follow-up reports and our choice of accreditation pathways. This is the top category that an institution can receive in the new process. In fact, NCCC has been asked to participate in HLC’s Accreditation Share Fair during the Annual Meeting in Chicago, showcasing our self-study for those who are still in the writing stage. As part of the new process, HLC has given the College the opportunity to choose its own pathway for our next reaccreditation. The choices are as follows: A. Open Pathway This method is designed for mature institutions which require less oversight from HLC staff. An assurance filing occurs at year 4 and year 10, but only in year 10 will there be a full visit by a peerreview team. There is also a required Quality Initiative in years 5-7 with a report due in years 7-9. This is a desk review by HLC staff. 19 B. Standard Pathway Standard Pathway has more HLC oversight, with a required visit in both year 4 and in year 10. It is intended for institutions that are changing rapidly or for those that are under scrutiny. C. AQIP AQIP method is chosen by relatively few institutions. It is for those that subscribe to Total Quality Improvement methods. Here institutions complete a series of quality initiatives and portfolios in an 8-year process, instead of the normal 10. There is talk of folding AQIP into the pathways process in coming years. After examining all methods, the administration requested that NCCC choose the Open Pathway and so inform the HLC. Our first assurance report will be due in 2018, with our next visit in 2023-2024. Resolution 2014-05 RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves notifying HLC that NCCC selects the Open Pathway for reaffirmation of accreditation. Upon motion by Charles Boaz and second by Dennis Peters the above resolution was approved. Motion passed unanimously. 20 D: Reaccreditation Congratulatory Time Off Recently the College completed the reaccreditation process through the Higher Learning Commission. The visiting team’s report, while containing some suggested improvements, was very complementary of NCCC and all we have accomplished. The report calls for no commission follow-up and subsequently the HLC Board granted NCCC the ability to name its own pathway to the next reaccreditation. In a small token of thanks to the employees who not only did an incredible job of meeting all of the HLC’s criteria over the past ten years, but also did an outstanding job documenting our progress through the institutional self-study, the administration is requesting that each full-time employee receive four hours of vacation or personal leave time in addition to their current total. This time would need to be used before July 1, 2014 as it would not carry forward to future years. Also, contracted part-time employees would receive a relative extra amount of leave as well. For instance a half-time employee would receive an additional two hours of leave. Resolution 2014-06 RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves each full-time employee receiving four hours of vacation or personal leave time in addition to their current total. Contracted part-time employees’ time will be relative to their contract length. Upon motion by Charles Boaz and second by Dennis Peters the above resolution was approved. Motion passed unanimously. 21 E: Bids for Fleet Vans The College administration recommended upgrading the vehicle fleet. The vehicles being traded in are a 2006 Ford Freestar minivan with almost 150,000 miles and a 2011 Chevrolet Aveo with almost 40,000 miles housed at the Chanute campus. The Executive Committee discussed the vehicle fleet needs and determined the Aveo in the college fleet is not comfortable for some drivers. Therefore, administration recommended replacing the Aveo with a mid-size car that is both comfortable and economical. Currently the Ottawa vehicle fleet consists of one 2007 Ford Freestar minivan. With the growth of the campus travel needs for college vehicles have increased. It is expected that fleet travel needs will continue to increase. The administration recommended purchasing a mid-size car to be housed at the Ottawa campus. Bids were solicited from Ranz Motor Co., Inc., Chanute; Shields Motor Co. Inc., Chanute; and Merle Kelly Ford Inc., Chanute. The College currently has sufficient funds in the Equipment Reserve budgeted for vehicle replacement. The following bids were received and reviewed by administration: Ranz Motor Co., Inc. 2 2014 Chevrolet Malibu 4-dr Sedan LS Trade in 2011 Chevrolet Aveo Total $38,240 - 9,500 $28,740 Merle Kelly Ford, Inc. 2 2014 Ford Fusion Trade in 2011 Chevrolet Aveo Total $37,290 - 6,000 $31,290 1 2014 Ford Connect XL Trade in 2011 Chevrolet Aveo Total $23,631 - 2,500 $21,131 Alternate: 1 2014 Ford Transit Connect XLT* Trade in 2011 Chevrolet Aveo Total $24,101 2,500 $21,601 * Alternate option package includes: rear view camera, side door/rear door privacy glass, full carpet floor covering and upgraded trim. It was the president’s recommendation that the Board accepts the bid of $28,740 from Ranz Motor Co., Inc., for two 2014 Chevrolet Malibu 4-dr sedan LS, and $21,601 from Merle Kelly Ford., Inc., for one 2014 Ford Transit Connect XLT. 22 Resolution 2014-07 RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College accepts the bid of $28,740 from Ranz Motor Co., Inc., for two 2014 Chevrolet Malibu 4-dr sedan LS, and $21,601 from Merle Kelly Ford., Inc., for one 2014 Ford Transit Connect XLT. Upon motion by Dennis Peters and second by Charles Boaz the above resolution was approved. Motion passed unanimously. 23 F: Bids for Audit Services It was desired to solicit proposals for the College’s audits for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2014, June 30, 2015, and June 30, 2016. Although the Board of Trustees cannot bind future governing bodies, it is anticipated that the firm selected will be retained for the three years period with annual evaluations of the services being provided. Recommendation to the Board of Trustees is made based on the information submitted with the proposal. Bids were solicited from BKD, Wichita; Mense, Churchwell & Mense, Joplin, MO; Stafford & Westervelt Chartered, Chanute; Yerkes & Michels, Independence; and Jarred Gilmore & Phillips, Chanute. The following bids were received: Jarred, Gilmore & Phillips FYE 6-30-2014 $12,500 FYE 6-30-2015 $12,700 FYE 6-30-2016 $12,900 This firm has performed the annual financial audit for NCCC for several years. They would like to continue the long-term professional relationship with the College. The fee for FYE 2013 was $11,900. It was the president’s recommendation that the Board accept the bid of $12,500 for FYE 2014, $12,700 for FYE 2015, and $12,900 for FYE 2016 from Jarred, Gilmore & Phillips, Chanute. Resolution 2014-08 RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College accepts the bids from Jarred, Gilmore & Phillips, Chanute, for the College’s annual financial audits of $12,500 for FYE 2014, $12,700 for FYE 2015, and $12,900 for FYE 2016. Upon motion by Charles Boaz and second by Dennis Peters the above resolution was approved. Motion passed unanimously. 24 G: Performance Agreement The 2012-2013 KBOR Performance Agreement information is presented for your review and approval. This is for the shortened performance agreement cycle that was altered by KBOR for the new agreement standards and procedures (approved in the fall semester for 2014-2016). The information presented now is for the 2013 portion of the previous agreement cycle. As the information and narrative below indicate, the majority of indicators show increased performance. The institution did not meet target goals in 2013 related to the general education outcome for communications or for technical literacy, but the actual performance indicators in those areas still showed exceeding institutional minimum requirements (for the communications outcome) and an increase from 2012 in actual number of students completing online certification for technical literacy. The data does reveal continued high performance of the adult education program, including that unit’s success in transitioning students to career and technical education programs, as well as the success of the OTA and Surgical Technology programs. Finally, the general education outcome component for analytical thinking reinforces increased performance of NCCC students. This agreement and narrative must be submitted to KBOR before February 28. It was the president’s recommendation that the Board approve the final report of the 2012-2013 Performance Agreement. Resolution 2014-09 RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves the final report of the 2012-2013 Performance Agreement. Upon motion by Kevin Berthot and second by Dennis Peters the above resolution was approved. Motion passed unanimously. 25 Neosho County Community College Performance Report 2013 Contact Person: Jim Genandt Neosho County Community College Phone and email: 620-431-2820 ext 212 or [email protected] Foresight Goals Date: 2012 2013 2014 Target Actual Target Actual Target Actual Achieve participation in the state’s higher education system that better reflects the state’s demography and more fully engages adult learners. 1.

The actual number of students served represents a 43% increase over the actual number served in 2012, and is 371% over the target goal. For component 2, the actual number of students enrolled in either the surgical technology or occupational therapy assistant programs is a 50% increase over actual served from 2012. The surgical technology program is the first in a several state region to use a synthetic cadaver (SynDaver) for student learning. The OTA program is the only such program at a community college in the state. For component 3, enrollment dipped slightly at the Ottawa campus in 2013. We believe this was due to changes made in the general education core requirements at the University of Kansas, as we have several hundred co-enrolled students using our Ottawa campus. The actual number was still above the target by 3%. Increase Higher Education Attainment/Improve Economic Alignment For component 1 NCCC saw a continued increase in transitioning students in adult education to career and technical education programs, exceeding the target by 105 students (a 107% difference from the target). For component 2, 2013 represented the first year of graduates in surgical technology and occupational therapy assistant programs, and the actual surpassed the target by 17 students (+340%). Despite slightly fewer students enrolled at the Ottawa campus, that service area had a record number of completers earning a certificate or associate degree, with a strong emphasis on CNA completers through the final year of a community-based job training grant administered by NCCC. The actual number represents a 167% increase from 2012 in completers through the Ottawa campus service area. Increase Higher Education Attainment In component 1, NCCC students showed an increase in our assessment of their analytical thinking (one of the institution’s general education learning outcomes), being 2% higher than the target goal (the institutional minimum scoring expectation for the outcome is 70%). Component 2, communication as a general education learning outcome, had a slight decrease to 84% of students (4% less than 2012, but still well above the institution’s goal of at least 70%). The institution shares the outcomes results with all instructors each year, as well as with our trustees. The improvement emphasis for all general education outcomes includes reminding instructors to reinforce to students how various coursework connects to the general education outcomes so students become more aware that content knowledge also includes general education skills. Component 3 had a 9.7% increase over actual from 2012, but was lower than the target. Technical literacy is not a mandated requirement of the college, so the actual participants indicate significant student engagement in literacy training. Since 2010 more than 2100 NCCC students have met the technical literacy component through online learning certification. 28 H: Executive Session – Employer-Employee Negotiations On motion by Dennis Peters and second by Charles Boaz the Board recessed into executive session for 10 minutes to discuss matters relating to employer-employee negotiations and included the President, Vice President for Student Learning, Vice President for Operations, and Chief Financial Officer, and the college attorney The Board entered executive session at 6:57 pm.

Lara Tucker, a nursing student from the Independence site, received a $1,000 Kansas State Board of Nursing scholarship at the KSBN Meeting. Computer Science and Mathematics Instructor Charles Babb, who also serves as the advisor for the Omega Iota Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, reports that two PTK members from each campus were recognized at the All-Kansas Academic Celebration in Topeka today. Chanute students Laura Broadfoot and Alexis Fulghum and Ottawa students Rachel Henry and Christel Sieg were recognized on the floor of the State House this morning. A luncheon followed at the Ramada with legislators, KBOR members, and students, families. At the luncheon the students received a proclamation, a medallion, and a check. The keynote speaker was Dr. Rod Risley, executor director of Phi Theta Kappa International. Accounting Instructor and Chair of Applied Science Linda Jones and Business Instructor Richard Webber, both of whom sponsor the Business and Innovation Club, report that the club ended the fall semester with a marketing campaign for Christmas in the Park on East Main in Chanute. The club members created flyers to promote the event and distributed them to local and area businesses and schools in Chanute, Erie, Parsons, Fredonia, Humboldt, and Altoona/Midway. Kerrie Coomes and Rita Drybread helped deliver flyers. Richard Webber is teaching Entrepreneurial Mindset as a hybrid class. This class uses nationally-recognized curriculum known as “Ice House” from the Kauffman Foundation. Last summer, Mr. Webber attended the required training to teach the course. As a hybrid class, part of the coursework is online and the students meet once a week for discussion. Mr. Webber leads face-to-face meetings on Tuesdays in Chanute and on Wednesdays in Ottawa, and he also teaches Small Business management in both locations. Biological Science Instructor Dr. Steve Yuza has developed online sections of Environmental Science and its corresponding lab and is teaching them this semester. Therefore, students have a fully online biological science option. The NCCC Science Fair will be held on Saturday, February 22, at 9:00 a.m. on the Ottawa Campus. Biological Science Instructor Eric Row has been busy organizing the event. All are welcome to attend. Computer Science Instructor Chad Devoe is pleased to report that his Advanced Web Design class is creating a web site for a real customer. On Wednesday, January 29, the class visited RKSTEEL in Fredonia to gather information about the company and their needs. The class is small enough to perform this project as a group. Former student Rusty Crites who works for RKSTEEL helped with the tour. Ethan Smilie President, Faculty Senate A. Chanute Campus – In September I reported that we had purchased some thin clients and were doing a test deployment in one of our labs. We have been very pleased with the results of that test and have begun to roll these out to other places on campus including the internet café, the dorm computer lab in NeoKan, and the computers in the common areas in Bideau. Costing roughly half of a traditional desktop workstation we will continue to use these devices around campus as a cost saving measure whenever possible. We will also be placing Apple TV’s in classrooms and conference rooms this spring at all campus locations. This purchase was approved by the technology committee this month and will provide instructors the ability to enhance interactive learning in the classroom. B. Ottawa Campus – We completed the new Shelterbelt installation in Ottawa over the Christmas break. This appliance is similar to the one we installed in Chanute earlier this year. It allows us to see, in detail, what is going on with the network as a whole, shape traffic, and block applications as needed to ensure the safety and reliability of the network. Additionally it takes some of the overhead off of the public internet connection here in Chanute because this traffic now goes straight out to the public internet there without having to come to Chanute through the VPN. It was originally configured in that manor so that we could filter the internet traffic from Ottawa with our device. Now only internal traffic passes through the VPN tunnel to Chanute. The graph below is from that device and shows you a month long sample of the amount of traffic we are passing. As you can see there have been times when we have burst way passed out 100mb however generally there is plenty of overhead available. For comparison here is a graph for the last month of traffic in Chanute. You can see that with bursting capabilities and the gig connection the City has we have utilized a big chunk of it at times, but in general we have plenty of overhead to work with on the 150 mb that we currently have. C. Online – Jon completed the installation of a major version upgrade to Inside NC over the Christmas break which added some new features and functionality. He is also working with the web committee to gather requirements for a refresh to the Neosho.edu website. This is something we typically do every 18 months or so. D. Switchboard – Mary is currently prepping for a move to the new CLC and has been working with Connie to pack up the current office and sort through their storage closet. E. Office Support Services – Gloria continues to be busy with day to day duties as well as cross training staff on specialized processes such as UPS / Fed Ex shipments and bulk mailings as necessary. F. Safety and Security – There are currently several projects underway. First we are adding some additional access control points to the system. In Ottawa these include the secure med room and south entrance to the administration staff hallway. In Chanute the future Sheriff Department satellite office and north entrance in Rowland will be added soon. The Chanute Police department satellite office in the CAVE was added in January. We have also begun to upgrade some of the older security cameras in Bideau hall. The new cameras will be high definition units. Once this installation is complete we will be able to retire the ageing DVR that services that building as the new cameras will record to our storage array at the data center. G. Help Desk & Maintenance – Our technicians continue to stay busy as you can see by the carts below. From July 1 to present we have completed 4112 work orders compared to the same period last year where we completed 4565. While the total has declined slightly they still represent a significant workload and we commend all of our technicians for the work they do.

Here are a few items of interest for this month. Enrollment Spring enrollment is shaping up quite nicely now. We are up a small amount, with online and Chanute leading the way. We are seeing significant decreases in Ottawa, ODO and IDO. But overall, I am quite satisfied with the numbers. Many of our sister institutions in the state are posting “soft” numbers or significant decreases this semester so our slight increase is very welcome. With this increase it looks as though we will end up for the year. Right now we are up 1.5% over this point last year. We forecasted a decrease, so this is good news. Here is the chart: Spring Semester 2014 TERM CODE RUN DATE TOTAL 2012 50 2-13-13 3110 20381 TOTAL 2013 50 2-13-14 2969 20696 CHANUTE 2012 50 2-13-13 642 5865 CHANUTE 2013 50 2-13-14 640 6306 OTTAWA 2012 50 2-13-13 756 5708 OTTAWA 2013 50 2-13-14 695 5299 ONL 2012 50 2-13-13 1041 5092 ONL 2013 50 2-13-14 1086 5849 ODO 2012 50 2-13-13 402 2007 ODO 2013 50 2-13-14 316 1702 IDO 2012 50 2-13-13 269 1709 IDO 2013 50 2-13-14 232 1540 CAMPUS STUDENT TOTAL CREDIT HOUR TOTAL YEAR CODE % INCREASE OR DECREASE 1.55% 7.52% -7.17% 14.87% -15.20% -9.89% Gym Floor We are progressing with the insurance company on replacement of our gym floor. As part of that process we must get bids from the floor company, in this case, Acme. They need a mock-up of what the floor might look like in terms of graphics to be painted. This gives us an opportunity to re-think the design and replace the NC logo with the panther. Here is the proposed floor. We went with a smaller logo at center court to avoid intersecting too many volleyball lines while keeping the floor paint to a minimum. We are also adding a vinyl logo for the NJCAA in the top right corner and the interlocking NC in the top left corner. Those will be “waxed in” the floor and not painted on. We are replacing NCCC with Neosho County. Do you approve? Adjuncts and the Affordable Care Act The IRS has (finally) released a guideline about what constitutes a fair workload for adjuncts’ teaching time. The question was how much time spent outside of class is a good rule of thumb when figuring an adjunct’s weekly work schedule. As you may recall, any employee that works more than 29 hours a week must receive health benefits like any fulltime employee or that business must pay a substantial penalty. All kinds of ratios were suggested to the IRS including 3 hours outside of class for every hour in class and 1 out for every hour in. The IRS has set the ratio at 1.25 to 1, meaning that an adjunct should spend 1.25 hours of out of class time working for every hour in class. What this means to NCCC is that our normal practices on adjunct limitations are within the standard. Typically we limit adjuncts to 10 credit hours a semester, usually just 9 due to how the credit hours work out in their class loads. But for a 10-hour load the adjunct will be assumed to work an additional 12.5 hours a week outside of class for a total of 22.5 hours a week. This is below the 30 hour limit. This will also help us figure if we can use an adjunct instructor to help with tutoring or advising. We now know how much we have them working on a class, and can then ask them to help with tutoring as long as the hours did not approach 29. HLC Share Fair The IAC of the Higher Learning Commission accepted the team report thereby completing the accreditation process. Our next full review is in 2023-2024. The report contained no findings and no required follow-up of any kind. With that, HLC has offered us our choice in accreditation pathway for the next cycle. This is wonderful, but there is one more good piece of news. HLC was impressed enough with our self-study that they have asked NCCC to offer our report as a good example at the “Share Fair” at the annual meeting in Chicago! Marie and Jim will be available for those who come to the meeting preparing to write their own reports in an open session. It’s a great honor to be asked. Lawrence Update Dr. Tony Brown attended a meeting in Lawrence on the construction of the new technical education building. All seems to be going well with the planning. We have asked for a private meeting with the architects to go over our needs, specifically in the design. The health science wing will be the upper level shown in this picture. The design is still on track and may be open in fall of 2015. Boy Scouts Award Recently the College was honored with a community Helping Hands Award from the Osage Nation of the Boy Scouts of America. The Osage Nation is a group of troops throughout southeast Kansas. The College hosts their Merit Badge College every year and they wanted to say thank you for letting them use our facilities. The leadership of the Osage Nation also honored Denise Gilmore for the time and effort she puts in setting up their event. Congratulations Denise! Hospital Fundraiser Tickets Each year the College purchases a “table” at the NMRMC Foundation fundraiser scheduled for the end of February. In exchange they give us a number of free tickets for their gala. Would any trustee like to attend the event? ACCT Chicago October 22-25 Registration is now open for the 2014 ACCT Leadership Congress. Would you like to commit so we can get you in the conference hotel? That is all for this month! Brian
