Cohen: for Shari Shuman: What happened to emergency plan? During the power outage last week, no one knew the library had also sustained an outage. The library remained “down” for an extended period of time.

Pat Plumlee to the Safety Committee: On new round-about; no one is slowing down at yield sign on north. Can we have proactive enforcement or improved signage?

Kathy Brown: weeds around new building are so tall, that visibility is limited. Can they be mowed?

Solano: What about Signs for the main entrance? Many drivers are continuing from Town Center Boulevard onto campus, instead of turning onto 9A.

COEHS – 1 item. Moved by APC. No discussion. Motion approved.
Agenda Item # 7 – FA 06-20: Submitted By the Faculty Enhancement Committee
Faculty Association Bylaw (1st Reading): Clifford: what is the rationale for the proposed change? Solano: Both Faculty Enhancement and Research committee emerged as standing committees at the same time. Over time, the committees functioned primarily as reviewers for teaching and scholarship awards. The prohibition against applicants being members of the committee has been problematic—Faculty Enhancement will delegate review responsibilities to sub-committees, so the committee, itself, will be able to assume other functions. The committee will oversee, rather than conduct the review process. Committee members who have applied for awards will be excluded from the subcommittee reviewing the applications.
Agenda Item # 8 – FA 06-21: Submitted By the Support Services Committee
Recommendation on Library Resources. Moved by Support Services.
Question: should this be reviewed by budget advisory committee? Can we approve at this time? Cohen reviewed history of proposal. Solano: has been through the Executive Committee twice. (Budget Advisory chair was present at those committee meetings.) How will databases be selected? Cohen: Through the Library Selection Committee. This funding would offset monograph monies. After no further discussion, Item passed.

No information items for June.
