File F-043-01 - Joint Meeting - Community Relations Development Committee and Finance, Facilities and Personnel Committee - May 1985

The Community Relations Development Committee was established as a standing committee of the College Board in April 1984. Its purpose at that time was “to provide a focus for and an overview of policies and programs to enhance public information, community resource development and college-based community development activities.” Later that year, fundraising activities was added to the Committee’s terms of reference. The Committee also provided recommendations to the Board and served as a liaison with College administration regarding issues related to public relations.

In November 1990, the Committee’s name was changed back to the Community Relations Committee.

Established in April 1981 (with its initial meeting held the following month), the Finance, Facilities and Personnel Committee was an amalgamation of three previous standing committees and drew its original terms of reference from each of those earlier groups. The Committee’s principle responsibilities fell within these three areas and included: (1) advising the College Board and administration on significant financial and business matters, reviewing draft budgets, and reviewing financial statements; (2) recommending policies related to building and site development, engaging with local governments and stakeholders, studying site proposals, and acting on behalf of the Board when initiating and planning with other agencies for jointly owned facilities; and (3) providing advice on personnel policies, reviewing specific personnel problems, examining proposals, and engaging in the negotiations with faculty and staff.

In October 1997, this Committee was replaced two committees: the Finance Committee (which addressed issues related to finance and facilities) and the Human Resources Committee (which addressed personnel issues).
