This item stands as presented. b. Construction Progress Update Steady progress has been made on the projects currently underway. c. Discussion of Potential Bond Refinancing Dr. Warren sought Board members input into possible opportunities to lower LLCC’s bond debt. Mr. McDonald, Vice President of Administrative Services, introduced Mr. Kevin McCanna of Speer Financial, the College’s bond advisor. Mr. McCanna stated the College District has $19,950,000 of outstanding unrefinanced Series 2008A Bonds. He explained there are two options to refinance the debt; 1) refinance the entire amount by selling one issue in November/December, to be dated January 2017. This bond sale would not be bank qualified and expected savings would net approximately $3,200,000, after costs; 2) refinance half of the debt now and half at the end of 2017. Each portion would qualify to be designated bank qualified, but the savings would be unpredictable on the second half refinanced, due to the sale being a year away. Mr. McCanna also stated there is one additional variable to consider; conducting a Competitive Sale or a Negotiated Sale. He explained a Competitive Sale, which was conducted for the January 2016 bond sale, would not guarantee local banks the opportunity to buy the bonds. A Negotiated Sale, could require local banks be given the opportunity to participate in the bond sale, if they chose to. Following discussion with Administration and Mr. Spears, the Board of Trustees asked Dr. Warren to proceed with work on bond refinancing of the entire $19,950,000, utilizing a Negotiated Sale. The Administration 9

AGENDA ITEM II.A

plans to have this bond sale presented for approval at the December 2016 Board of Trustees meeting. 4. Information Technology Systems – None 5. Workforce Development and Community Education - None 6. Executive Division a. Review of Agenda Master Calendar Dr. Warren reminded everyone the November meeting is earlier in the month, due to the holiday and the December Board meeting has been moved to Monday, December 12, at 3:30 pm, to compensate for a schedule conflict. B. President’s Report Registration for the spring semester began last week. LLCC’s fall Campus Day drew approximately 350 participants, who viewed presentations, exhibits, and participated in College tours. LLCC’s Institutional Improvement Day served as a kick-off in developing the College’s next five year Strategic Plan. Faculty and staff participated in a college-wide Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) exercise which identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) in their specific departments and then for the College as a whole. Another important part of the Strategic Planning Process is a Campus Climate Survey for employees, and also a Community Survey, to gauge the public’s opinion of the College. The Co-Chairs leading the Strategic Planning Process will present information at a future Board meeting, allowing Trustees the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas. LLCC received another three-year certification as a “Storm Ready” campus by the National Weather Service. In 2013, LLCC was the first downstate college to earn this recognition. In an effort to promote our employees’ health and well-being, LLCC hosted a Wellness Screening, Benefits Fair, and Flu Shot Clinic on October 11. It was reported last month that LLCC received a $10,000 Green Genome Award. As part of the College’s “green” focus, Campus Sustainability Day was held today, October 26. It included a campus tour, which highlighted LLCC’s community garden, high tunnels, the native prairie areas, recently acquired bee hives, and concluded with a “Lunch and Learn” presentation held in the outdoor classroom.

AGENDA ITEM II.A

A presentation by Inspirational speaker, Inky Johnson, a former NFL player, provided a message of hope and perseverance to a large and engaged audience. The Sexual Assault and Violence Education (SAVE) Task Force has had an active month; in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Week approximately 100 students, staff, and faculty participated in “Take a Stand Tuesday”. Additionally nearly 100 community members pledged to use their education, experiences, and voices to be active in the fight against sexual violence. The LLCC Police Department sponsored their first-ever “Coffee with a Cop” on October 25, allowing the students and campus community an opportunity to meet, interact, and build connections with LLCC Police Officers. LLCC sponsored an “On My Own Time” art exhibit in October, which provided an opportunity for faculty and staff to showcase their artistic talents. Artwork that received a “first place” judging by the Springfield Area Arts Council will move on to the citywide exhibit/competition in December. Edwardsville artist, Jason Bly’s artwork is currently on display in the James S. Murray Gallery. A show highlighting the work of LLCC art professors was displayed earlier this month in the Gallery. As part of a new partnership with the Springfield Art Association and local businesses, Art Professor, Thom Whalen, has been selected to display his artwork on bus stop benches throughout Springfield. The LLCC Choir held a fall concert in the A. Lincoln Commons which featured gospel and international music. The LLCC Stolen Moments Improvisational Jazz Ensemble held a concert on October 23, as part of the LLCC Recital Series. On October 18, published student authors had an opportunity to share their works during a reading of the 2016 edition of the Lincoln Land Review, held in the A. Lincoln Commons. Tim Humphrey, Dean of Arts and Humanities, recently graduated from the Chair Academy for Leadership and Development. Dr. Warren had the opportunity to honor a special graduate by awarding a diploma to former LLCC student Chris Call, who is battling stage IV cancer. A surprise private ceremony was arranged after Chris’ LLCC professor, Beth Hoffmann, did some research and determined Chris had earned enough credits to graduate from LLCC; which was

always a dream of Chris’. The ceremony was attended by Chris’ family members, several of his previous LLCC professors and a few LLCC Administrators. C. Report from Faculty Senate - None D.

Both policies have been revised to include a reference to the Act and to include elements required by the Act. In addition, Board Procedure 2.8 has been revised. The revised policies and procedure are attached for your review. No action is required of you this evening. With Board concurrence, we will return these policies to you for action at the regularly scheduled December, 2016 meeting of the Board.

Compensation/Reimbursement of Expenses, Board of Trustees 2.8

Policy Number: Officer Responsible: Board of Trustees Last Reviewed: 4/22/09 11/16/16 Last Revised: 4/22/09 Effective Date: 2/24/98 12/12/16 Old Policy Number: 2.1.2.6

Policy Statement: Members of the Board shall serve without compensation but shall be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their service as members. Pursuant to the Act*, such expenses may be charged to a bank credit card owned by the College. Expenses of Board members shall be reimbursed in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Trustees traveling to business-related conferences, seminars, and meetings or otherwise traveling on behalf of the college shall be reimbursed for expenses in accordance with established procedures. Reimbursement of Trustee travel expenses shall be done in accordance with the Local Government Travel Expense Control Act (Public Act 99-0604) as enacted or amended. This policy also applies to college President when traveling with Trustees. The maximum allowable reimbursement for meals and incidental expenses shall be the reasonable actual amount incurred. The maximum allowable reimbursement for lodging expenses shall be the GSA Per Diem lodging rates plus applicable taxes and fees. Recognizing that much of Trustees travel is to attend conferences, seminars, or other professional development and that the rates charged by host hotels for these events are often significantly higher than the GSA per diem lodging rate, the maximum allowable reimbursement for lodging will be 150% of the GSA per diem lodging rate plus applicable fees and taxes. The maximum allowable reimbursement for travel or transportation expenses will be the actual amount incurred for the most efficient travel option at the lowest cost. Reimbursement for business related mileage driven in a personal vehicle will be at the current rate as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. All requests for reimbursement of travel expenses shall be made using the current Travel Form or Mileage Log in the case of reimbursement for mileage only. Legal Citation: * 110 ILCS 805/3-7

In accordance with College policy, the following guidelines will apply: Credit Cards  College credit cards will not be distributed to Trustees. General Guidelines  All Board Members traveling on college business are expected to travel in as economical a manner as reasonably available to accommodate their personal and professional schedules.  Travel advances will not be issued.  The College will “direct pay” airline tickets, hotel expenses and registration fees when sufficient notice is provided.  Travelers will request the governmental rate offered by the hotel when requesting lodging. College-issued identification will be provided upon request of a Board Member.  Original receipts, when available, are required for reimbursement of college-related expenses (this requirement does not apply to meals if the Per Diem option is selected). The purchase of alcoholic beverages will not be reimbursed.  Those traveling with students must also follow established procedures for field trips, athletic travel and/or student organization travel. Before Traveling  Trustees will contact the President’s office to request the pre-travel estimated expenses section of the travel form be completed and submitted for approval. Out-of-state travel requires Board of Trustees approval in advance of the travel. Vehicular Travel  Reimbursement of mileage for use of a personal vehicle in furtherance of College business will be at the most recently established IRS rate and will be reimbursable from the Board Member’s home.  Parking and toll charges will be reimbursed with documentation.  Parking tickets and other traffic violations will not be reimbursed.  When driving for college business, mileage reimbursement is limited to the cost of a 14-day advance purchase airfare to the destination.

32

Rental Cars  Rental cars will be reimbursed when deemed economical for group travel and with either Board Chair or Board of Trustees approval.  The collision damage waiver and personal accident insurance on rented vehicles are reimbursable expenses. Airline Travel  Airline travel will be at coach, economy class or the lowest logical fare. Board Members may upgrade their class of air service at their own expense.  LLCC prefers use of the designated travel agency that will direct bill the cost to the College. Contact the Purchasing Department for the name of the designated agency.  Travelers will be allowed to retain the frequent flyer miles.  If a ticketless option is used, a copy of the itinerary or a copy of the airline confirmation will suffice as documentation.  LLCC will reimburse the airline fee charged for checking one bag and the airline fee charged for one carry-on item (if applicable). Lodging  Payment or reimbursement for lodging will be limited to the number of days necessary to attend the approved meeting/conference.  Payment for an extra days lodging will be allowed if the lodging cost is less than the additional cost of airline ticketing on a subsequent day.  Any additional expenses due to a spouse or travel companion will be the responsibility of the Trustee.  Reasonable tips for luggage handling will be reimbursed.  Room upgrades, early check-in fees, late check-out fees, child care, movie rentals, dry cleaning, non-business related personal phone calls, and other personal items or services will not be reimbursed. Meals Trustees will be reimbursed for meals the reasonable actual cost of meals. The U.S. General Services Administration (U.S. GSA) Per Diem Rates may be used as a guideline for reasonableness. Such reimbursement will be made under one of the two options listed below. Option 1  Reimbursement will be for the reasonable actual cost of the meals plus reasonable gratuity.  Original receipts are required when available.  The cost of alcoholic beverages will not be reimbursed.  Breakfast is reimbursable for travel before 8:30 a.m.  Dinner is reimbursable for travel after 5:00 p.m.  If a receipt is not available, the reimbursement amount will be the amount for the applicable meal per the U.S. GSA per diem rates.

33

Option 2  Per Diem/Meal Allowance – The College will reimburse at the Per Diem or Meal Allowance rate as specified at the time of travel by the US General Services Administration Per diem rates vary by location and reimbursement for partial days will be at the percentages indicated below applied to the applicable rate:

Breakfast allowance Lunch allowance Dinner allowance Per Diem - each quarter day     

Percentage 20% 20% 60% 25%

Per Diem will be paid for travel in excess of 18 continuous hours or which requires overnight lodging. Each quarter shall be 6 hours commencing at midnight, 6:00 a.m., noon, and 6:00 p.m. A portion of a quarter is eligible for a full quarter’s allowance. No receipts are required. Meal allowances are to be used when per diem does not apply, such as when travel is less than 18 continuous hours. Breakfast is reimbursable for travel before 8:30 a.m. Dinner is reimbursable for travel after 5:00 p.m.

Post-Travel Reimbursement Process  Upon completion of the travel activity, Trustees shall forward the original receipts, when available, to the President’s office for completion of the Post-Travel section of the Travel Form and subsequent approval.  The Business Office will issue a check within two weeks of receipt of approved travel documentation. The College will reimburse a Trustee for any late fees or interest incurred by the failure of the Business Office to make such timely payment. Other Expenses  Trustees shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in conjunction with their services. An original receipt, along with an explanation of the purpose of the expense and the names of other persons for whom costs were incurred, must be included with the request for reimbursement.  If a spouse or travel companion accompanies the Trustee, the College will only pay for expenses associated with the Trustee. Special Considerations  The College understands that there may be rare instances in which exceptions to these procedures may need to be considered in order to meet special circumstances.  Last minute bookings or changes to an itinerary are strongly discouraged.

34



A request for an exception to these procedures must be documented, explained, and authorized by either the Board Chair or the Board of Trustees.

Incidental Expenses  Defined by the U.S. GSA as fees and tips given to porters, baggage carriers, hotel staff, and staff on ships. Entertainment  No reimbursement will be made for any type of entertainment expense as defined by the Local Government Travel Expense Control Act (Public Act 99-0604) as enacted or amended. Maximum Allowable Reimbursement  Any expenses that exceed the maximum allowable reimbursement amounts may be reimbursed. To be reimbursed for expenses exceeding the maximum allowable reimbursement amounts, the amounts must be documented, explained and authorized by either the Board Chair or the Board of Trustees.
