  1. Call to order.
    The meeting was called to order by R. Guy at 2:15PM.
    Initially, there was no quorum, until Gonzalo Mendoza joined the meeting.

    M/S/P: R. Moyer, L. Gaines to start with agenda item 3: Nominations and election of FPSC co-chair.
  2. Nominations and election of FPSC co-chair (Agenda Item 3)
    Alexis Navarro was the only candidate for nomination.
    M/S/P: L. Gaines, K. Pfeiffer to elect Alexis Navarro as co-chair of FPSC.

    R. Guy introduced L. Guidry to present an update of facilities. D. Beaulieu expressed concern about the absence of G. Johnston, to which R. Guy responded that G. Johnston periodically visits his family in Texas. Therefore, L. Guidry is the official Jacobs member until he returns.

    R. Guy said he will introduce Lynn Pilcher at the next meeting to discuss form and linear design of Parking Structure Lot 3.

    WWCOT gave a workshop to Jacobs Pacifica personnel on the development of the façade design at UCLA, where WWCOT is also involved. The pre-existing masonry construction buildings on the UCLA campus raised questions regarding the integration of the new buildings with the existing. The query brought forth is whether ELAC was going to adopt the same concept. Answer is no.

    A. Navarro will write a paragraph about the absence of key facilities members at today’s meeting.
    E. Flores wanted to know, who will represent Jacobs Pacifica at meetings, as there seems to be quite a turnover in their representation. Also, G. Mendoza inquired whether there is a clause for contractors to abandon their projects. L. Guidry said she is the full-time representative, until further notice.
    A. Navarro will get clarification of who the official FPSC members are.
