II.	Introductory Remarks/Old Business
	Doreen Radjenovic is unable to represent the committee at the Executive Committee meetings and members in attendance were unable to attend the October 19 meeting.

III.	New Business/Agenda Items/Information Reports
	Richard Crosby attended the meeting and presented the Master Plan. The 2000-2001 Master Plan is in the process of being updated in 2004-2005 that will represent the next 5 and 10 years. The planning process underway included a workshop with the Board of Trustees in the spring of 2004 to review the Master Plan. Summer workshops were held to address three issues: the student union, the site for the social science building, and housing. Eight focus groups are being held with various constituents including faculty, staff, and students. A new drawing is anticipated on November 2, 2004 based on focus group results. Two full-day open forums are planned before the updated Master Plan is presented to the Board of Trustees for approval. The committee reviewed the duties and responsibilities of the committee as stated in the Faculty Association Bylaws to "develop and recommend policies to guide the development of the Campus Facilities Master Plan and the Land Use Plan, and review and make recommendations on all changes to the Campus Facilities Master Plan and Land Use Plan."

IV.	Other Discussions and Announcements
