Faculty Development
Committee

Bill Schermbrucker, English instruc-
tor, is the new chair of the Faculty
Development Committee. Bill is taking
over from Diane Blaney who has led the
committee for the past two years. “I want
to thank Diane for her leadership and
hard work,” says Rob Turner, Vice-
President, Student and Instructional
Services.

Bill says he’s looking forward to the
job: “Partly because I’ve been told it’s a
crackerjack committee of dedicated and
thorough people.”

Among the committee’s many tasks is
the management of a $20,000 fund
which is used to assist faculty with
research and conference expenses.

The committee also conducts profes-
sional development sessions and instruc-
tional skills workshops throughout the
year, and it is a clearing house of
information about conferences and
workshops. The committee will also
facilitate teaching exchanges and
overseas appointments.

There are five committee members in
addition to the chair, representing each
of the major divisions. They are: Jolene
Bordewick, Jann Gibbs, Annette Lorek,
Gordon Bailey, and Janet Waters.

AECBC Conference

Several members of the College
community spent last week exploring
“the new frontier of leadership” at the
1994 Advanced Education Council of
B.C. Conference and annual general
meeting in Kamloops.

The two-day sessions examined issues
ranging from “long-range visioning” to
“maintaining board discipline.” They
were led by consultant John Carver, who
has spent years working on the develop-
ment and application of governance and
executive management concepts with
nonprofit, governmental and other public
boards and councils throughout North
America.

Come September 6 there will be no
more free parking at the College.
Everyone (from board members to
staff members) will pay for the
privilege of parking their car in any of
the lots or on campus roadways. The
only exceptions will be special guests
of the College who will be issued a
short-term permit.

Pay parking was instituted to help
defray the cost of parking area leases,
maintenance and expansion costs, all
of which are no longer funded by
government. The costs are estimated
at $150,000 to $200,000 annually.
The parking fees are also part of an
overall “green” approach to transpor-
tation issues, including enhanced
transit service, and car pooling.

Charges will be $1 per day, $15 per
month, $50 per term or $90 per year.

Director of Planning Alan Smith
says Capilano is one of the last Lower
Mainland colleges to institute pay
parking and that our prices are very
competitive with the other institu-
tions.

Permits for employees will be on
sale toward the end of August. Watch

containing further information on
paid parking. Payment can also be
made on a daily basis at a ticket
dispenser using cash or credit card.
There will be no limit on the number
of permits/decals issued, so a permit
will not guarantee a parking spot all
the time.

Pay parking will be in effect seven
days a week, 24 hours a day, and will
be administered by a commercial
service provider. Warning fines for
the first violation (not displaying a
dispenser ticket or permit) will be a
fine of $15 to $20. A second viola-
tion will be an automatic tow away.

Car pooling and designated
parking will continue under the same
stipulations as last year. Registered
car pools of three or more will park
for free. Contact the Purchasing
department for more information
(loc. 2904). Anyone parking in
designated areas must display both
the pay parking ticket or permit as
well as the designated parking decal.

A standing committee will deal
with on-going policy related to
parking, car pooling and other
transportation issues.
