  • SSU has submitted for FY 20/21 for programming; 51 state funded projects, 4 academic projects, and 5 non-state funded projects totaling $1,003,473,000. Percentage of projects in the overall funding distribution results to 36.2 state funded, 47.7 academic, and 16.2 for non-state.
  • Christopher is working on master plan amendment to align with President’s initiatives. Goal is prepare submission for January BOT.

  • Planning in advance for the next 5 years can be challenging since requirements/needs can change during that time period. The opportunity to submit annually to the Chancellor’s office allows campuses to fine tune projects to reflect current initiatives and needs.
  • N. Markley inquired where does co-curricular and auxiliary plan fit in? K. Marian confirmed that it was in the non-state projects.
  • N. Markley mentioned that these alternatives can often cost more money and inquired if the State or CSU fund these added costs. D. Twedell confirmed that it is through a proper plan that includes all considerations when submitting projects and emphasized the importance in planning a project.D. Ricciardi inquired about residential housing development. Christopher is working on a Master Plan Amendment which includes a 50% build out of the campus. A demand study was completed 2 years ago and noted a need for additional housing - specifically for first year students. The additional housing is renovating Zinfandel Hall into 2 phases; Phase 1 is building a 3-story building, Phase 2 is removing the existing Zinfandel complex and renovating it. The goal is an additional 1900 beds for a total of 5,000 beds based on 10K FTE. Campus is also evaluating other possibilities for housing: on the north of campus, football field area and adjacent property. 
  • C. Dinno asked if the IT Projects was a collective directive by the CSU to move towards Cat 6. K. Marian confirmed that CPDC worked closely with IT and they identified critical areas of improvement and their focus for resiliency. A copy of this report will be provided to D. Chun - this plan was developed by his predecessor.
  • D. Chun asked if our deferred maintenance project is comparable to our peer CSU institutions? D. Twedell confirmed that it is.
  1. Project Submittal Form/ Application/Process (development)
  • T. O’Neill mentioned that some campuses submit a partial list of projects that they anticipate will be approved, but the CO appreciates the transparency of SSU to provide all projects needed so that it demonstrates to the CO all the needs of the campus.
  • Y. Perez Bravo inquired about the process for funding distribution and how projects are prioritized. The campus Cabinet submits their needs to the President and K. Marian’s responsibility is to carry out the vision and align it priorities of the State of California and CO.
