Ultimately,
the power to contract on behalf of the college
is vested in the Board of Trustees. The size
and complexity of the college is such that
individual review by the Board of Trustees
of every agreement is neither feasible nor
in the best interest of the college. Therefore,
certain delegations of contracting authority
are appropriate within the following specified
guidelines for the timely, efficient administration
of the college. |
| |
a. |
Contracting
Authority Delegation - the President
is hereby expressly authorized and empowered
to contract in the name of the college as
follows: |
| |
|
1. |
Personnel
- All employment contracts shall be signed
by the President. The President shall approve
the employment of classified personnel. Personnel
thus approved shall be submitted to the Board
for ratification at the earliest practical
time. |
| |
|
2. |
Capital
Improvement Change Orders - The President
and the Board Chairman may jointly approve
a capital improvement change order when, in
the opinion of the President, the deferral
of the change order until the next regular
board meeting would cause a significant delay
in the progress of the capital improvement
project. All change orders thus approved shall
be submitted to the Board for ratification
at the earliest practical time. |
| |
|
3. |
Service
- The President shall have authority to execute
service agreements for the college. |

is expressly authorized to sign all instructional

and interagency agreements on behalf of the

action of the Board specifically provides
otherwise, any contract approved by the Board
shall be executed on behalf of the college
by either the Board Chairman or the President
(or his/her designee). |
| |
c. |
Custody
of Contracts - The President is hereby
designated as custodian of all contracts of
the college. He/she shall maintain on file
in either the President's office or the Business
Services Office one (1) original of every
