§ 23-60-206 — College advisory council

(1) The board shall establish a
procedure for receiving nominations for appointments to the college advisory
council and shall appoint a seven-member college advisory council for each
community and technical college under its governance, composed of residents from
the area in which the community and technical college is located and serves, which
council shall meet at least quarterly with the chief administrative officer of the
college. The board of trustees of any local district college shall be designated as
the first college advisory council when such local district college joins the state
system, and members thereof shall serve for the duration of their terms. Upon
expiration of such terms, new appointees shall be so designated that the college
advisory council will at all subsequent times include at least two members familiar
with occupational education needs. Of members first appointed, three members
shall be appointed for four years and two members for two years. Thereafter, terms
of members appointed to the college advisory council shall be for four years. The
members of a college advisory council in office on April 14, 1986, shall remain in
office for the remainder of their respective terms, and, thereafter, may be
reappointed by the board. Effective July 1, 1986, the board shall appoint two
members for each college advisory council, one member to serve for a term of two
years and one member to serve for a term of four years. Members of the college
advisory council shall receive twenty dollars per day for meetings attended and
shall be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the conduct of
official business.

(1.5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, if the
plan for Colorado Northwestern community college to join the state system of
community and technical colleges is approved and moneys are appropriated
therefor as provided in section 23-71-207 and if the Moffat county affiliated junior
college district voters approve the ballot measure set forth in section 23-71-207
(1)(b)(II), the initial advisory council for Colorado Northwestern community college
shall consist of three members of the Rangely junior college district board of
trustees, three members of the Moffat county affiliated junior college district board
of control, and one member at large to be appointed by the state board for
community colleges and occupational education from the Colorado Northwestern
community college designated service area. If the Moffat county affiliated junior
college district voters do not approve the ballot measure set forth in section 23-71-207 (1)(b)(II), the provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall apply.

(2) The board shall officially recognize within its policies the manner in which
it shall receive advice from local councils concerning local oversight of each of the
state system community colleges and shall include consideration of advice in the
areas of tuition and fees; operating and capital budgets; allocation of moneys;
money, land, and other property; instructional programs; degrees and certificates;
appointment of chief administrative officers of campuses; personnel policies; and
admissions and academic standards. A report containing such information shall be
prepared and submitted to the Colorado commission on higher education no later
than January 15, 1987.
