BOT Approves Letter of Intent and Hears Department Review
[Garden City, KS] December 15, 2021 -- The Garden City Community College Board of Trustees approved a letter of intent with Mammoth Construction and heard a review of the Campus Police Department during the regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, December 14, 2021.
The GCCC administration has been working on proposals to replace the synthetic turf and respray the track at Broncbuster Stadium as part of the master facilities planning. The current turf is at the end of life and is due for replacement. Administration will bring the financing of this project to the Board early next year. However, in order to get the turf project in the work queue with Mammoth Construction, a letter of intent needed approval. The BOT approved this letter of intent, which is not a binding agreement, that states that if GCCC goes forward with the project, that exclusive negotiations will take place with Mammoth Construction.
The BOT also heard a departmental review of the GCCC Campus Police Department from Rodney Dozier, Campus Police Chief. Chief Dozier highlighted the mission, core values, and strengths of the department. Additionally, he shared how the continued community partnerships with local law enforcement agencies are very beneficial to the department. While there are challenges faced by the department, the GCCC Campus Police Department is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for students, faculty, staff, and the general public while on campus, or in any facility owned or operated by GCCC.
Two executive sessions were held where no action was taken.
The next meeting of the Board of Trustees is scheduled for Tuesday, January 11th at 6 p.m. in the Endowment Room at the Beth Tedrow Student Center.
