Natomas Center: campus police have been out there but no one from Operations yet. Cheryl will personally check on Natomas' offices.

Cheryl reported for Captain Day that campus police are on site at ARC indicating that campus has a massive termite issue and that human feces are a consequence of homeless on campus due to the closure.

Koue Vang and Jeff Bucher introduced a new project team: Technology Master Plan Project Team. There is a District-wide technology plan to centralize IT. ARC needs to modify its master plan to include members from District's IT, identify needs and align with District. Koue Vang will Chair and Jeff Bucher as Co-Chair is recommended by Executive Leadership Team.  One issue is whether District can offer Chromebooks to students, how would they be returned, how to sanitize and then redeploy computers to other students?
