Incorporated, as follows: CONSULTANT – AMENDMENT HILL PARTNERSHIP INCORPORATED (HPI) SCOPE AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO MASTER ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES AGREEMENT Requested by: David C. Moore, Director of Physical Plant and Construction Services On July 12, 2012, the District entered into a Master Architectural Services Agreement (Master Agreement) with HPI to obtain architectural services for various modernization and new construction projects, each of which would be incorporated into the Master Agreement through a valid scope amendment. Scope Amendment No. 4 allows for the necessary architectural, design, and engineering services for the completion of the Culinary Arts Mobile Kitchen, Modular Swing Space, Related Site Improvements, and Underground Utility Line Laterals and Connection. The total scope amendment contract sum shall be $141,790.00 which includes a fixed fee amount of $134,790.00 and an allowance of $7,000.00 for reimbursable expenses; funding will be allocated from the GO Bond. The time period will be from August 13, 2013 through completion of the project.

• The interview process for the first firm, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, will begin at 7:00 p.m. • Board members will ask one question each. • The firm interview will be concluded at 7:55 p.m. • The second firm, AlvaradoSmith, will begin at 8:00 p.m. • At the conclusion of the second interview the Board will discuss and deliberate (item 14). • The Board President will then conduct a roll call vote for each firm; the student trustee will have
an advisory vote, each Board member will vote Yes or No during the vote. • All members in favor of firm 1 vote Yes or No. • All members in favor of firm 2 vote Yes or No.
Minutes of the Board of Trustees - Page 303
• The firm receiving a Board majority of Yes votes will be the recommendation as general counsel.
• If a Board majority of Yes votes is not reached, the Board will need to decide to re-vote or extend the search process in a manner outlined by the Board.
14. Ms. Perez opened discussion regarding the selection of a legal firm for legal counsel services. Each board
member discussed at length how both firms represented themselves during the interviews. There was also discussion regarding the different firms that represent the college for various functions. Dr. Salazar asked if the RFP mentioned oversight of all law firms and inquired as to how the college will lower its legal costs. Mr. El Fattal stated that it was not included in the RFP and added that a boilerplate agreement with legal firms will help to control costs. Mr. Drayer stated that he thought that general counsel would be an advisor to the president and the board and manage all the different lawyers. Dr. Lacy stated that the college hires law firms based on expertise. She added that she does not believe any law firm should direct the work of other law firms. The roll call vote to select Liebert Cassidy Whitmore for legal services was as follows: Mr. Arthur: aye Ms. Avalos: no Mr. Drayer: no Dr. Hughlett: aye Dr. Liu: aye Ms. Perez: no Dr. Salazar: no Mr. Makinano:aye (advisory) The roll call vote to select AlvaradoSmith for legal services was as follows: Mr. Arthur: no Ms. Avalos: aye Mr. Drayer: aye Dr. Hughlett: no Dr. Liu: no Ms. Perez: aye Dr. Salazar: aye Mr. Makinano:no (advisory)
Minutes of the Board of Trustees - Page 304
Because AlvaradoSmith had a majority of Yes votes, it was recommended that the Board of Trustees authorize the Vice President of Business Services to enter into a contract for General Counsel legal services with AlvardadoSmith. The negotiated contract between the law firm and college will be presented to the board for approval at the November 13, 2013 board meeting. The cost of legal services will be based on a negotiated fee schedule (hourly billing) of the selected firm and will depend on the services rendered. The roll call vote was as follows: Mr. Arthur: no Ms. Avalos: aye Mr. Drayer: aye Dr. Hughlett: no Dr. Liu: aye Ms. Perez: aye Dr. Salazar: aye Mr. Makinano:no (advisory) The vote for approval was 5-2-0.
15. The meeting was adjourned at 9:59 p.m.

Mathematics Project Director of HSI STEM Grant
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of HSI STEM (Hispanic Serving Institution/Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Grant Stipend for Supervising Student Research
ACTION It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve payment of HSI STEM Grant stipend of $4000 to Dr. Thad Szabo for work performed as stipulated in the HSI STEM grant and funded by the Department of Education.
FISCAL IMPACT Cerritos College has received funding from the Department of Education in the amount of $3,538,847 over five years (2011 to 2016) to promote academic success in the STEM disciplines and to improve the rate of degree attainment and university transfer in STEM disciplines. This will be accomplished through a variety of activities, including student research projects supervised by college faculty.
It is recommended to approve a stipend for Dr. Thad Szabo in the amount of $4000, funded by the HSI STEM grant, for supervision of student research during Summer 2013.
REPORT SUMMARY As one component of the network of academic support funded by the grant, stipends will be provided to faculty to engage in supervising research that will be completed by STEM students.
The research supervised by Dr. Thad Szabo is a study of galaxy clusters, which are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the observable universe. Determining their distribution, properties, and constituent galaxies provides insights into how our universe developed. Dr. Szabo and his research students are determining the details of a catalog of approximately 70,000 galaxy clusters, using a combination of statistics and computer science. Students involved in the research will attend research meetings or seminars at local universities and be given recognition in any publications to which their work contributes. This research is an ongoing program, which began in Summer 2013.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of EOPS Summer Bridge Faculty Stipend
ACTION It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve an EOPS Summer Bridge stipend to Erin Cole and Kolleen Higgens for participating in the EOPS Summer Bridge program.
FISCAL IMPACT Extended Opportunity Programs & Services (EOPS) funding will be used for this expenditure of $400. No general funds will be used.
REPORT SUMMARY The state allocates categorical program funds to specifically supplement existing institutional resources to enhance access to postsecondary educational opportunities. EOPS funds are allocated to districts to support the enrollment, persistence, retention, graduation, and transfer rates of economically and educationally disadvantaged students in the community colleges.
Erin Cole and Kolleen Higgens participated in the EOPS Summer Bridge program during summer 2013. These faculty were previously approved for teaching in the program and subsequently did additional, stipend- based faculty assignments benefitting the Summer Bridge student population. In addition to providing instruction to students, they participated in events and meetings before, during, and at the end of the program to assist recent high school students with transitioning to college, completing English courses, and developing a strong sense of community. Upon approval, they would receive a $200.00 stipend, each, for the additional work in the program.

REPORT SUMMARY Cerritos College is in the process of updating and aligning the District's Board Policies with the recommended policies developed through the legal firm of Liebert Cassidy & Whitmore in conjunction with the Community College League of California (CCLC).

This policy is now ready for adoption by the Board of Trustees.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of Revised Board Policy 1200 - Mission
ACTION It is recommended that the Board of Trustees adopt the following revised mission statement:
"Cerritos College values its diverse student population and is committed to providing them with high quality, comprehensive instructional programs and support services that improve student success and offer clear pathways to achieve personal, educational, and career goals. In doing so, the college develops in students the knowledge, skills, and values that prepare them to be productive participants in the global community."
FISCAL IMPACT No general funds will be used.
REPORT SUMMARY Faculty, management, and classified/confidential staff discussed the revision of the college's mission statement to reflect Cerritos College's broad educational purposes, intended student population, and commitment to student learning at the May 10, 2013 Strategic Planning Retreat. A draft statement was developed and shared with the campus community via the May 16 President's Message. The Office of Academic Affairs also communicated the draft mission statement with the campus via email communication and requested feedback via a survey, which led to a minor revision.
A proposed revised mission statement was reviewed and discussed by the ASCC Cabinet on August 26, Faculty Senate on August 27 and September 3, and the College Committee on Planning and Budget on September 5 to ensure all constituencies have an opportunity to provide input. The College Coordinating Committee reviewed feedback on September 9 and unanimously voted to recommend that the Board of Trustees adopt the revised mission statement.
Board members reviewed the forwarded proposed revised mission statement at its September 18 regular meeting and directed staff to send the proposed statement back to the College Coordinating Committee to incorporate revisions based on their discussion, and forward a revised proposal to the board for review at the October 16 regular board meeting.
The College Coordinating Committee reviewed proposed revisions at its September 23 meeting and unanimously voted to recommend that the Board of Trustees adopt the newly revised mission statement.

SUBJECT: Conducting of Interviews of Two Law Firms, AlvaradoSmith and Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, Beginning at 7:00 p.m. for the Purpose of Engaging a Law Firm to Provide General Counsel Legal Services
ACTION It is recommended that the Board of Trustees interview two law firms, AlvaradoSmith and Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, for the purpose of engaging a single firm to provide to the district and Board of Trustees General Counsel legal services.
FISCAL IMPACT The cost of legal services will be based on a negotiated fee schedule (hourly billing) of the selected firm and will depend on the services rendered.
REPORT SUMMARY RFQ No. 12C0056 Legal Services — General Counsel was advertised on May 28 and June 4 in the Long Beach Press Telegram. Nine firms submitted proposals in response to the RFQ. The eight members of the District's RFQ evaluation committee individually and collectively reviewed and analyzed each proposal. From this process, the committee determined that it would interview five of the nine firms for further consideration. The interviews were conducted over a nine day period with three firms being interviewed on August 28 and the remaining two firms being interviewed on September 6. Upon conclusion of these interviews, and after thorough discussion, the evaluation committee agreed that the following two firms be recommended to the Board of Trustees for final interviews and potential consideration of an agreement to provide General Counsel legal services to the district and Board of Trustees.
1. AlvaradoSmith 2. Liebert Cassidy Whitmore
The Board of Trustees will conduct a one-hour interview of each firm. The RFQ and purpose of the interviews is for General Counsel services. Thus, the college may presently, and in the future, continue to utilize existing or alternate legal firms for specialized services such as negotiations, construction, bond counsel, student services or personnel related matters, etc.
According to Government Code 53060, selecting professional services such as for legal services shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence and on the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required.
