Agenda Item IX-E: Health Insurance
This year the College retained the services of IMA of Wichita for the renewal of the college’s health
and dental insurance plans. The insurance committee met with IMA representatives and reviewed the
renewal rates on our current health insurance plan and discussed an alternate plan from Preferred
Health Systems. The insurance committee is recommending that the College change health insurance
coverage to Blue Cross/Blue Shield with no changes to the benefits for the 2013-2014 plan and to pay
the single premium of $415.63 for each employee. This is a decrease of $7.89 or a 2% decrease per
month per employee over the 2012-2013 premium with Preferred Health. A copy of the renewal
quote follows.
The committee is also recommending the Board continue for one year, the payment of additional
dollars per month for those electing to take spouse/child/family coverage. This year that amount will
depend on which insurance option the employee selects:
Option A - $105
Option B - $145
Option C - $165
This plan is budget neutral. The college will save an estimated $15,000 per year for the single plan, but
will use that savings to increase the support for those electing to cover their dependents or spouse
through our insurance.
Here is a chart showing the amounts that employees will have to pay per month to cover their families
after the additional college supplement is applied:

August board meeting.
The Executive Committee reviewed the recommendation. The president supported the
recommendations of the Insurance Committee and Executive Committee.
Resolution 2013-50
RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves Blue Cross/Blue
Shield as the health insurance provider for college employees beginning October 1, 2013. The
21
premium cost of the single coverage is $415.63. The Board will contribute that same amount to the
employee, if the employee chooses a higher deductible plan. The Board also approves for one year
the payment of additional dollars per month for those electing to take spouse/child/family coverage.
Those selecting Option A will received $105, Option B $145, and Option C $165.
Upon motion by Kevin Berthot and second by Dennis Peters the above resolution was approved.
Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item IX-F: Bids to Lease 12-Passenger Vans
The vehicles owned by the college do not meet the total vehicle demands of the College community.
Specifically, the number of high capacity passenger vans owned by the College does not meet the
existing requirements for travel, particularly for the athletic teams and activity groups. Therefore, for
the past several years the College has supplemented our owned fleet with leased vehicles to meet the
college’s needs.
During 2010-2011, the college decreased the number of vehicles we leased from six 12-passenger vans
to five 12-passenger vans due to a detailed analysis of the 2009-2010 usage. Following the return of
the leased vehicles this year, another detailed analysis of the vehicle usage for 2010-2011 was
performed. This detailed analysis revealed that there were significant scheduling issues from mid-May
through June due to increased van usage mainly by the grant programs. The analysis further revealed
that leasing a minimum of five 12-passenger vans would still be necessary for the mid-August to mid-
May time frame. Further analysis of vehicle usage during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 indicated that
we needed to keep the vehicles through June due to vehicle shortages created by programs such
Upward Bound and Kids College. In addition, athletics will need more vans for travel in early and mid-
August.
As such, bid specifications were developed for leasing from five to seven 12-passenger vans with an
option for weekly and/or daily additional vans if necessary and were mailed/emailed to:
Dealers Leasing Inc Wichita, KS
Olathe Ford Lincoln Mercury Olathe, KS
Commerce Lease Group Wichita, KS
Union Leasing Overland Park, KS
Merchants Short Term Solutions Overland Park, KS
Merle Kelly Ford Chanute, KS
Ranz Motor Co. Inc. Chanute, KS
Shield’s Motor Co. Inc Chanute, KS
A copy of the bid spec follows.
Merchants Short Term Solutions submitted the only bid to the College for $820 per month, per van.
This is $15 more per month per van than we were charged the last two years. Additionally, Merchants
submitted a bid of $95 per day (with $200 transport charge, $10 less than last year daily rate) and $500
per week (with $200 transport charge, $100 less than last year weekly rate).
Per the bid specs, the rental vans must be delivered to the Neosho County Community College campus
in Chanute, Kansas on or by August 1, 2013. All vans must be picked up from the college on or about
July 1, 2014. The College may return any or all of the vans prior to July 1, 2014, if they are no longer
needed and receive a pro-rated credit.
As costs continue to rise to lease the vehicles, and only a single vendor is bidding, Operations is
recommending further analysis prior to next year’s bids for leased vehicles. Operations will perform a
detailed study during the next year to analyze usage and the lease vs. buy scenario, including leased
12-passenger vans vs. purchased 12-passenger vans, a combination of leased and purchased 12-
passenger vans, or some combination of leased 12-passenger vans and a smaller bus such as a people
24
mover. We will bring that item to the board for discussion during the next year. As of this time, we
are recommending staying with the leasing of the additional 12-passenger vans as we have done the
past several years.
The president recommended that the Board accepts the bid of $820 per month, per van from
Merchants Short Term Solutions, Overland Park to lease five 12-passenger vans with the option to
lease additional vans on a weekly or daily basis provided it is economically advantageous for the
College to do so.
Resolution 2013-51
RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves the bid of $820
per month, per van from Merchants Short Term Solutions to lease five 12-passenger vans per the bid
with the option to lease additional vans on a weekly or daily basis provided it is economically
advantageous for the College to do so.
Upon motion by Charles Boaz and second by Dennis Peters the above resolution was approved.
Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item IX-G: ABE Instructor/TLC Assistant
Recently the ABE grant director requested that one of the positions at Ottawa be changed from full
time to part time as a result of lower enrollment numbers on that campus. An opportunity exists to
combine this new three-quarter time position with an existing part-time position in the Teaching and
Learning Center at Ottawa to make a full-time position. It has been the administration’s experience
that full-time employees stay longer in their positions and the college directly benefits from their
experience. It was the president’s recommendation that the Board allow for the creation of a new
combined position of ABE Instruction and part-time TLC Assistant with $12,737.50 from the ABE grant
and $9,262.50 from the general fund. No new general fund dollars will be designated for this purpose.
These are the funds used to support the part-time position in the previous years.
Further, the president recommend that Sally Sudja, current part-time TLC Assistant, be promoted to
this new full-time position. Sally has been filling in in the ABE instructor’s absence and has a done an
excellent job over the last few months. If approved, Sally will be paid an annual salary of $22,000
(Management Support) with full-time benefits with a start date of July 15, 2013.
Resolution 2013-52
RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves the creation of

in team standings at the Outdoor National Championship.
Women’s Basketball – Finished the season at 10-21 after a great start. They finished 7
th
in the KJCCC
Eastern Division.
Men’s Basketball – Finished the season at 12-19 and 8
th
in the KJCCC Eastern Division. While their
record lacked, two players were selected to the All-KJCCC team and two earned All-Conference honors,
along with one being named to the All-Region team. Additionally, Joe Acuil was named to the Australian
Under 19 National Team but had to leave the team to tend to family matters.
Cheer and Dance – Both squads took the championship spot at JAMFest in Kansas City. Dance went on
to take the national title at College Open Nationals in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Three of the four
graduating team members will continue to perform and compete at the Division I level.
Softball – They faced a frustrating 2-37 season plagued by injury and illness. They are very excited about
their future as they have signed 24 athletes for the upcoming year.
Baseball – Early on we believed this to be a “rebuilding year”, and after a 5
th
place finish in the KJCCC
Eastern Division, earned a spot at the JUCO World Series for the 2
nd
year in a row. This is the first time in
school history that baseball has earned back to back trips to the JUCO World Series. Five players were
named to the All-KJCCC team and one was named to the All-Region team. They also had a player drafted
in the MLB draft for the second year in a row as freshman Conner Goedert was selected by the Pittsburg
Pirates but will return to Neosho for his sophomore year.
Academics
Baseball finished out the 12-13 year with a team cumulative GPA of 3.24 while volleyball combined for a
cumulative 2.95 GPA. The Department GPA cumulative GPA took a dip to 2.66 from 2.76
23 student-athletes were named to the KJCCC Spring All-American Team
7 named NJCAA Academic All-Americans
Community Service
In December I reported over 600 hours of community service completed in Chanute and the
surrounding communities. At the conclusion of the 12-13 academic year, nearly 1,500 hours of
community service have been completed by the student-athletes combined.
GOAL 1: Ensure NCCC is the premier community college in Kansas.
Objective 4: Attract, retain, and develop good employees.
Kourtney Clark was promoted to Head Women’s Soccer Coach.
JJ Davis was hired in April, 2013, to lead the women’s basketball team.
Five assistant coaches have moved on to full time positions, head coaching positions, and Division I
positions. Each of these vacancies has been filled, or will be filled tonight, with well qualified energetic
employees.
One head athletic trainer has taken a position with KU Medical.
We will celebrate 100 wins in the 2013-2014 year for Asya Herron and Jeremy Coombs, while we also
celebrate 800 wins for Steve Murry. Steve’s career record stands at 833-570. At the JUCO World Series,
Steve Murry was awarded the Sportsmanship Award.
In June, Mike Saddler was named full time Assistant Athletic Director. At the same time, Mike and I had
the opportunity to travel to the NATYCAA/NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of
Athletics) national conference. While at that meeting, I was approved as the District 5 Representative
for a three year term.
GOAL 1: Ensure NCCC is the premier community college in Kansas.
Objective 2: Work aggressively to encourage premier behavior, and publicize premier
accomplishments at NCCC.

Good Evening Trustees. I hope your month is going well. Here is a brief report of items of
interest.
ENROLLMENT
We are through the “half way” mark of summer and about 65% of the enrollment is in for fall
with numbers running about 1.5% above where they were this time last year. Ottawa continues
to be down significantly, while Chanute is up and Online is flat.
Nothing much has changed since the last time I reported for summer with enrollment off nearly
12% over this time last year.
The economy continues to improve in the area with Franklin County dropping from 7.5% to
6.7% in one year (May to May). Neosho has risen in the last year from 6.9% to 7.4%. This
might explain some of the difference in enrollment between the two campuses. Still I expect to
be down a bit on opening day, but hope to see flat by the 20
th
day of the semester due to the new
enrollment at Garnett, Ottawa SB155, and Emporia.

In housing we have contracts for 291 students with 259 of those with a paid housing fee. We are
nearing capacity and have about six weeks until move in day. We may have to turn some away
as I have limited the hotel overflow to about 20 students. I’ll monitor the situation and let you
know as the date approaches.
LAWRENCE
Joyce, Jim and Brenda with help from a host of people completed a $20 million TAACCCT
grant to the government which is designed to improve workforce training opportunities for those
who have lost their jobs due to companies moving overseas. Congrats to them for pulling
together this monstrous work in a relatively short time.
Part of that grant involves renovating and equipping a building in Lawrence to be a technical
education center for the northern service area. If the grant is funded, the Lawrence Chamber of
Commerce will buy a building and we will use the grant to renovate and equip it.
The school district has $5.7 million to build a new tech center as well. There is much discussion
in Lawrence about the best way to build that center if the grant is funded. By Oct. 1 we should
have an answer on the grant.
NCCC will provide health care instruction at Lawrence no matter if the grant is funded or not. A
health care lab will be a part of the $5.7 million building that is already funded. In fact, a few
classes may begin as early as this fall, even though the new building will not be open until fall of
2015. Classes will be held at our Lawrence address.
Still it is an exciting time with a new market opening up to us for the first time.
GARNETT
Renovations to the Garnett building are on schedule for a fall 2013 opening. We have permission
to put signage on the building and will be painting the interior to NCCC standard colors. The
classroom there will be brought to our standard with a SmartBoard, KI furniture, projector, etc.
The administration there is very happy with everything thus far and as I have said before,
enrollment is already very strong.
STOLTZ RENOVATION
The science labs are coming along well right now as well. There are two items that have delayed
things which could make this a “photo finish” with the first day of classes. The HVAC unit has
yet to arrive, but should be here shortly. This has set back ceiling construction and some other
items.
The real concern will be the science tables. The supplier believes they can get us the tables in
time to have them installed, but that might be happening during in-service week. Yikes! If they
fail to arrive we will work around it for a while. Hopefully all will be well and at the September
Board Meeting we can give you a tour of the new labs. Here are some photos:
GOVERNOR
Today USD Superintendent Dr. Jim Hardy and I traveled to Pittsburg for an event with Governor
Brownback celebrating the success of SB 155. In the bill the USD gets $1,000 for every student
that completes an industry certificate while in high school through their local community college.
USD 413 received a check for $21,000 for twenty students that completed welding, construction
and health care certificates last year. This was the biggest check given out at the SE Kansas
event! We even beat Pittsburg! Watch the news tonight as Dr. Hardy was interviewed and was
very complementary of NCCC.
The bill is still in effect for 2013-2014 so I’ll bet there will be more money coming their way at
the end of next year as well.
HLC VISIT
Our self-study and all associated materials have been uploaded! I have been contacted by the
chair of the visiting team and we have begun the logistics of getting the team into town and the
agenda set. Right now it looks like your meeting with the team will be Monday night,
September 16 in the Oak Room. There may be a dinner. I will NOT be there as they want to
hear from you without me or any other staff member present.
We will be using the reading room of the Chapel as the HLC team’s work room. During in-
service we will complete preparing the staff for the visit and putting on our best bib and tucker.
I’d like to spend some time with you at the budget workshop discussing what you might expect
from the team when they come.
RETREAT
This Monday I held a retreat for the Executive Committee and it went very well. Special thanks
go to Denise for all her work and to Trustee Lori Kiblinger for providing the fantastic team
building excises. The staff had a great time with those getting to learn about each other and
having some friendly competition.
The retreat focused on the Science of Happiness and how we can apply that research to NCCC to
raise employee and student morale. Happy workers stay loner, do better work and are more
efficient that unhappy ones. Lots of great ideas were generated as a result and we will be
looking at ways to implement them over the next year or so. Most of the ideas have little or no
cost associated just some behavioral changes.
I have uploaded the Science of Happiness PowerPoint to your webpage. You might find it useful
at your workplace or in your personal life. If you would like me to give a presentation on it,
please let me know.
PERSONAL ITEMS
I will be going on vacation out of town from July 22-25. If we need to make the budget hearing
on the 25
th
, I can come back a bit early.
Today I became the father of a teenager. Please send me your thoughts and prayers. I’ll need
them.
