With reference to the motion passed at the previous meeting, Neil advised that the College's legal counsel and the Chancellor are in support of updating the AR and G/P to satisfy the intent of the proposed modification. The updated language will be incorporated into the draft proposal in progress.

II. Review Following Posting for Employee Comments

A. 4.0503.02 Accrued Leave

4.0503.02.1 Accrued Leave Guideline/Procedure

The Council reviewed and discussed comments received from employees and members provided a number of suggestions for the re-wording of several passages (non-substantive changes) which were accepted by the developer.
During discussion, there were also a number of clauses that were identified as requiring further development. HR will continue to refine the language in the AR based on comments from employees and the discussion at Council.
For the AR section "Vacation Leave", clauses 1 and 2, Miguel moved and Larry seconded to add a modification to Don Becker's suggested language to clarify the "typical amount" of days accrued annually based on the monthly accrual rate. The motion passed on a vote of 7-4 with 8 abstentions.
LMC raised concerns regarding the language used in the AR and G/P as well as the general leave policy as pertains to Adjunct Faculty, and asked that a subcommittee be formed to propose language to address the concerns.

III. Proposed Drafts for Posting and Distribution

A. 2.0303.01 Legal Counsel

Neil presented the draft proposal. The list of designated legal liaisons has been updated. The internal process for review and approval of invoices for legal counsel services has been removed; the process has not changed however the inclusion of the process in the AR is deemed unnecessary.

On motion and vote, the draft was approved to post for employee comments.
