UPDATES AND BRIEF REPORTS:
Topic Person(s) Responsible Notes
Campus Safety Updates Capt Kelly Benitez
•	A burglary occurred at the construction site, with a suspect captured on security video. However, their face was obscured by a hoodie, making identification difficult.
•	Five juveniles were caught shoplifting at the bookstore and were identified as living just across the street from the college.
•	A total of 1,600 parking tickets have been issued, with many citing "I didn't know" as their excuse. It’s essential to remind everyone that a parking pass is required on campus.
•	Concerns have arisen about non-students using campus facilities, particularly in light of the SCC case involving a registered sex offender who accessed the pool with underage children. Key points include:
        -As a state facility, we are required to allow public access during normal business hours.
        -There may be options to designate specific times or areas for public use.
        -Margaret will follow up on the legal implications and available space.

DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
All-Gender Restrooms Margaret Lednicky •Discussed previous comment from the last meeting regarding people generally not feeling safe in ARC restrooms. There were several incidents of disgruntled students following faculty into restrooms however it appears there have been no new incidents since last year.

•We are continuing to update the All Gender Restroom icons on our website maps. Some feedback comments are that the icons are too small.

•The priority restroom locations to investigate changing and/or modifying to All Gender were Davies Hall 3rd Floor, Theater/Arts, Natomas. New priority restrooms have now been identified, especially since Davies has been closed. First priority is to investigate the restrooms adjacent to Dusty Baker. These are currently being used by our adapted students and their care takers; second priority is to investigate changing the 3rd Floor men’s restroom at the Library into an All Gender Restroom.

•Discussion regarding the possibility of providing all gender, single use shower facilities. Suggestion was to connect with Basic Needs for further information.

•Previous suggestion of visiting other All Gender restrooms around the City to help evaluate what we would like at ARC is no longer a priority. Would like to concentrate on investigating 3rd floor restroom at Library and convert into All Gender.

•There is still a request for LRPD to attend the next meeting to discuss ongoing issues with restroom safety.

•There is still a request for the PIO to attend the next meeting to provide feedback on the campus website map. All gender restrooms should be easily available on web – example shown https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/health-and-safety-code/hsc-sect-118600/

•Request to not advertise anything on All Gender restroom doors so as not to attract attention. People would like to use the restroom without any identification other than what’s needed by code.

Safety Training Koue Vang There has been interest in additional safety training for the college. Koue will follow up with Captain Benitez to arrange the scheduling of this training.
Davies Hall Final Project Proposal (FPP) Update Koue Vang FM presented an overview of the FPP to the ELT on 9/30/24.

Summary:
• ARC is currently 214% overbuilt in classroom space. The state will not fund the project or permit any further overbuilding, with a maximum limit of 110%. However, the District will be submitting a proposal for the state to allow an increase to 180%, which would provide for 20 classrooms instead of the 42 that Davies Hall had.
• Offices and labs are not impacted.

Difficulties in locating the various divisions on campus. Mary Goodall Concerns have been raised about the challenges of locating the various divisions on campus. Brenda mentioned an internal document used at SCC, developed by Caring Campus, which enables users to update information about their departments, ensuring that employees have access to the most current details. Brenda will share this information with Mary.
