The minutes of the February 13, 2018 meeting were approved with a minor revision.
 
Galen presented the Utilization and Space Needs Analysis Study – Draft Findings and discussed it with the group.  He asked the group to consider the analysis through the lens of what is realistic for the college.  The members of the group noted that the analysis came from a casual conversation with the consultants and some of the proposed space was not needed.  The group reviewed the spreadsheet Space Amounts for TCTC Program Needs and addressed each need.  Galen will get a new data set and send the revised version to the group. 
 
As next steps, the architects will determine synergies between needs and use existing space to meet them.  This will help to generate a project list for the next five years that the college will align with budget and legislative requests.
 
Mark Dougherty gave an update on the portal transition. To support the upgrade to Banner 9, the College will need to replace current eTC portal infrastructure. The transition to a new portal was expected to occur following the Banner 9 implementation but had to be accelerated as more was learned about Banner 9. The upgrade to Microsoft Sharepoint will occur in two steps. The first is centered on simply replacing the Luminis portal with the same look and feel of the current eTC portal. The interim upgrade will occur at the beginning of June, coinciding with the launch of the Human Resources Banner module. Over the course of the next several months, Mark’s team will work with College stakeholders to develop the new portal organization and feature set. A temporary portal will be in place in June.  The intent of the transition is to be as seamless as possible, with minor aesthetic changes.  He asked any content owners in the group to review and trim content that does not need to be migrated over.  It was noted that some content owners may not know that they own that content.  After the team meets, Mark will send who those owners are.  He would like feedback by March 7.  He noted that this is just a good time for this review, and understands that it may not be comprehensive.
