While fun seekers of all ages prepare for the annual Fiesta celebration, the Unified Staff Council and the different colleges' staff councils are preparing to host a parking lot at the district offices on 811 W. Houston St.

Fiesta-goers will be charged $15 to park, and the money will be used to fund scholarships.

The money collected will be divided between the individual colleges' Staff Councils and the District Staff Council after expenses.

Staff Council President Delia De Luna said that during last year's Fiesta, the council made more than $6,000.

Staff councils from each college in the district will take turns working shifts 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. today, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, noon to 11 p.m. Sunday, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday next week, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. April 27 and 28.

This college's Staff Council will be on duty from 4 p.m.-11 p.m. Monday, 8 a.m.-1:30 p.m. April 27, and 1 p.m.-6:30 p.m. April 28.

The money raised by the Staff Council at this college will be used for four Educational Enrichment Awards, which are $250 each.

The awards are given to eligible staff members who are pursuing a college degree or who are seeking educational enrichment, De Luna explained.

The council from this college is still looking for volunteers to help monitor the parking lot during their shifts.

To volunteer, contact Melinda Rivero-Lara, Staff Council Fiesta Parking Lot Committee chair, at mriverol@accd.edu.

On Monday, Staff Council began accepting nominations for eight positions in time for the May election.

Nominations will be accepted until 5 p.m. April 30.

The only conditions to apply are that the person must be full-time permanent staff or full-time temporary staff.

There are eight positions open; one professional; five classified staff; and two district staff assigned to this college.

To pick up a nomination form, contact De Luna at dluna@accd.edu or call 733-2363.

The forms can be turned into Box 95 in Fletcher Administration Center.

The positions are for a two-year term. Staff Council meets at 2:30 p.m. every second and fourth Tuesday in Room 120 of the visual arts center.

Staff Council also will be holding an Employee Development Day May 18 starting at 8 a.m. in the auditorium of McAllister Fine Arts Center. The winners of the Educational Enrichment Awards also will be announced.
