regular meeting of the board of trustees date - College of the Desert

DESERT COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT AGENDA ITEM
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Date of Meeting November 18, 2004 Division Administrative Services
TOPIC:APPROVAL OF CONTRACTS
PROPOSAL:
To approve and ratify contracts.
BACKGROUND:
Communication No. 3
During the course of conducting college business, the District finds it necessary to hire consultants for
community services events, special projects and contract education. Each month the Business Office
submits contracts for Board approval. Because the Board meets only once per month, there are
frequently periods and circumstances which do not allow for Board approval prior to hiring. This
condition is particularly true in the case of contract education where an outside firm presents an
immediate need for our services training their employees.
BUDGET IMPLICATION:
The contracts are put through an approval process which includes verification of funds available in the
budget. In the case of community services events or contract education the fees charged are calculated
to include the cost of the contract.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Superintendent/President recommends that the Board of Trustees approve/ratify the contracts
presented.
Recommended by: _____
Jerry R. Patton, Vice President for Administrative Services
