    • The Chancellor provided thoughts and perspectives on the questions to the best of their ability, though some details were unavailable. 
    Discussion Points: 

    1. Potential for Nursing and HTEC program students to gain practicum/internship opportunities at the proposed clinic 

    • The county CEO had expressed openness to providing internships/practicums as allowable. 
    • Specific details to be negotiated in the agreement with the county. 
    • Opportunities would be available for both DeAnza and Foothill students. 
    • Scope of the facility raised as a key factor in determining what opportunities would be allowed by accreditors. 

    2. Impact on existing campus services and activities 

    • Potential overlap acknowledged with De Anza's health services, but the county clinic serves the broader community.  
    • Impact on the DeAnza flea market to be assessed, and alternative locations explored. 
    • Need to involve Joel Cadiz from facilities to understand specs, footprint, revenue impacts, etc. 
    • Parking impact expected to be minimal given enrollment trends, but to be monitored and addressed if needed. 
    • Enforcement of parking permits raised as an issue, with cost implications cited. 
    • Suggested bringing in Danny Acosta to discuss parking logistics and options. 

    3. Campus security and access with influx of community members

    • Signage and branding integration between the clinic and De Anza to be worked out. 

    4. Background on the proposed clinic
