DISCUSSION:The State Water Resources Control Board enters into an annual contract

FCCC in order to continue employing students.  An eighteen-month contract with

the FCCC is proposed to extend student support through June 30, 2001.  The proposed

contract would not exceed $4,000,000.

 

POLICY issue:  Should the State Water Resources Control Board adopt a proposed

Resolution authorizing the Executive Director to negotiate and execute and amend

the proposed Foundation for Community Colleges Student Assistant Contract?

contact.  It is expected that approximately $900,000 will be needed in the second

half of FY 1999/2000 January 1 – June 30, 2000), and the balance ($3,100,000) will

be expended in FY 2000/2001.

Participate  in the proposed contract.
