Santa Clara County Health Clinic Update

A Santa Clara County health clinic building is being proposed to be built in Parking Lot B. A draft presentation was shared. The building would be approximately 25,000sf. A map was shared to show the proposed location. The proposed building may include a parking structure. Potential services offered would include primary care, urgent care, radiology, pharmacy, behavioral health and dental.  The project may have an impact the De Anza Flea Market. Construction would potentially be completed in 2027 or 2028 and could be one year in duration.

There were questions around when the construction would begin. There is no clear schedule yet as this is still a potential project. The County is doing a study with architects, engineers, and potential environmental impact. If the project moves forward, it could begin sometime in 2026.

Services potentially offered would be Primary Care, Urgent Care, Radiology, Pharmacy, Behavioral Health and Dental.  The intent is for students at both Foothill and De Anza College enrolled in the medical technologies’ field would be able to perform program practicums at the new facility. FHDA College medical programs include, Nursing, Dental, Phlebotomy, Health Technologies, and others.

College Life indicated the project would have an impact on the De Anza Flea Market. DASG shared the FHDA Board President the De Anza President indicated there could be a town hall meeting in the future. It was noted that there will also be benefits to the partnership.

A question was raised about the location of Lot B and if this is the only location being considered. There is no other open space on the campus large enough to build a medical building and a parking lot. Parking for the medical center would not be related to student parking and would be separate. It is important to note if a building and a parking lot is being built, we will need to look to the future for possible increased enrollment. The college has historically had a shortage of parking on campus, pre pandemic.

Energy and Sustainability Action Committee (ESAC) Update

College Operations is working with the District’s ESAC Committee to form a subcommittee made up of representatives from the Campus Facilities Committee and any other interested parties. This subcommittee will be at the campus level and will work on a plan to assist in implementing SB1383. SB1383 requires the state to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025. The Campus Center may be the starting point for implementation and the college is looking at bins for recycling, landfill, and organic waste. Information will be passed along as it becomes available. Anyone on the Campus Center Advisory interested in being a part of the subcommittee, can reach out to Manny DaSilva and/or Sally Gore.

Dining Services RFP Update

The college has been reviewing and discussing all the self-sustaining enterprises over the last several years. Dining Services is not earning enough revenue to cover expenses. A spreadsheet was shared of the net income operations showing a $1m deficit. Most expenses are tied to salaries. Dining Services had $700k in sales last year and the current sales for this year are being closely monitored. Dining Services is not forecast to be fully sustainable this year.

A core committee group met today to discuss the RFP (Request for Proposal) and review some of the entities that have come forward as possible vendors for the food operations piece of the Campus Center.

A question was asked about how the Dining Services staff might transition over to the new vendor. Language in the RFP may include opportunities for other positions for staff, if possible. Staffing plans are handled by District Human Resources and Union representatives. Over the course of the De Anza Bookstore and Follett RFP process, five staff members who worked at the bookstore were placed successfully in in other departments on campus in other positions. More information will be shared as it becomes available.

A question was asked by DASG, about revenue. If Dining Services revenue increased and the expenses decreased during this academic year, could operations be saved or would it close? If the department could be self-sustaining for another year, the college would evaluate the situation. It is important to note the District and the Unions passed a 7.22% salary increase, so salaries will be that much higher along with rising food costs.

The RFP contract is anticipated to go to the Board in May and if approved may be implemented in June.
