A recap of the meeting with Dr. DePaolo and Bonnie Sims was given. The consolidated list provided by Staff Council was reviewed and discussed. Discussion and action plans will be reviewed again in June/July. These will be shared at the first 2001-2002 meeting with the new delegates. One item suggested was a Staff Appreciation event. The idea of an ice cream social was suggested and approved by Dr. DePaolo. On June 27 at 2:00 p.m., Dr. DePaolo will host an Ice Cream Social for Staff Appreciation. Staff Council will cover the cost of the reception.
Alma has not received a statement on the Foundation Account. Final expenditures will be discussed at the next meeting. After discussion with Lynn Allen, Staff Council ordered training CDs ($400.00). Lynn Allen agreed to help develop a Staff Council Brochure and Mitch Clarke will help with the layout. The printing expense will be on the next budget year. Mitch Clarke is looking into cost savings on the paper and envelopes. The current pricing for July 1, will be roughly 25% less but of the same quality. He is currently reviewing the cost of bulk mailings. Please let him know if you have any concerns or questions.
Next meeting is scheduled for June 14, 2001 at 2:00 p.m. in Chappell 110.
Respectfully submitted,
Cindy Diaz
