Dear Peralta Community,Welcome to the fourth Tuesday and\u00a0PFT\u2019s twice-monthly e-Communiqu\u00e9. Got something you\u2019d like to see in this space? Email\u00a0PFT Communications Director Matthew Goldstein (mgoldstein@peralta.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

*The Peralta Board of Trustees meets tonight at 7 at 333 E. Eighth St. in the district boardroom. Among the key agenda items: the final 2010-11 budget; the opening of contract discussions with PFT, SEIU, and Local 39; the end of the district\u2019s contract with\u00a0OPEB consultant Pineapple Group, LLC; the effort to use up to $250K in general fund monies over the next three years to run the Peralta Foundation; and a slew of facilities-related issues. If agenda page-count is any indication, meeting-goers are advised to bring pajamas.<\/p>\n

*The district continues to drag its feet on\u00a0PFT\u2019s practically cost-free proposal to start SDI deductions, the disability insurance payments that part-time faculty approved in a spring 2010 vote.\u00a0PFT is in talks with the chancellor to see that this simple change, requiring only minor reprogramming of payroll computers, be made as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

*The\u00a0PCCD Benefits Office begins month-long open enrollment Oct. 1, an annual chance for employees and retirees to change or enroll in medical, dental, and flexible benefits plans, and to add eligible dependents not currently covered. Forms are due to the Benefits Office by Oct. 31. Download the open enrollment announcement and benefits fair activity schedule at http:\/\/peralta.pswbenefits.net\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

*The Chancellor Selection Committee began meeting Sep. 16 after the trustees amended board policy to expand CSC membership from 11 to 13. The committee, placed on an accelerated timetable set by unknown parties, is likely to make recommendations in mid-October.<\/p>\n

*A meeting focusing on part-time issues is set for 12-1 p.m., Wed., Sep. 29, at Merritt, in Room R 127. Contact\u00a0PFT part-time rep Cynthia\u00a0Mahabir at\u00a0cmlaney2003@yahoo.com<\/a> for more information.In unity,<\/p>\n
