  Archived Minutes - April 2001

PRESENT: Don Broshears, Becky Ball, Debbie Clark, Ginny Hall, Melissa Burch,   Phyllis Oeth, Lois Stevens, Debbie Strueh,  Sally Townsend, Terry Young, Jalane Weber, Darlene Fisher. 

The meeting was called to order by Debbie Clark at 10:00 am.

A motion was made by Becky Ball and seconded by Lois Stevens to accept the March minutes with changes.

  • Employee Relations: A sign up sheet was distributed to water Staff Council’s Adopt a Spot during the summer.  A volunteer will work with Staff Council the week of April 30 to get the spot “spruced up” before graduation.

There will be a representative in each building to obtain a count for the picnic.  Those who register will be eligible for door prizes.

The Archibald Eagle Food Pantry collected over 4000 items during the recent food drive.

The “special interest” groups are doing well.  Several are meeting regularly for the Bible Study group. The Get Fit program has a regular turn out.  The dining out group has been discontinued.

  • Economic Benefits:  No meeting this month.

  • By-Laws:  No meeting this month.

  • Nominating committee:  Nine members are going off Staff Council.  All are eligible to run for another term except one.   Forms have been distributed to members asking them to suggest volunteers to run for office.

  • Old Business:   Marriott Food Service will be asked to stay open until 1:30 during the summer hours.  Because of construction in the building, the Eagles Nest will be closed.

Don Brohears is the Staff Council representative to the Food Service Committee.  Only one other member attended. A major problem for this committee is to find people who are willing to serve and attend meetings.

  • New Business/Discussion: Darlene Fisher reported that the voluntary self evaluation forms have been distributed to supervisors in each department.  A training session was held for supervisors concerning the evaluations with good attendance.  Deadline for completion of the reports is May 7.  Reminders will be sent the following week to those who have not returned evaluations.  These evaluations are meant as a positive  reinforcement to employees, validating their accomplishments and setting goals for the year.  There was discussion about the voluntary self evaluation form given to the employees before meeting with the supervisor.  It was stressed that they are strictly voluntary.  A suggestion was made that the time of year for the evaluations be changed, since end of the school year is very busy for everyone.  Someone questioned the combining of vacation and sick time under the heading of “lost time”.  The suggestion was made again that different forms should be used for different departments, since questions are not pertinent in some areas.  It was discussed that the form is a generic form that was created a few years ago from a committee that worked hard to make it usable for all departments.

Contracts for “Concern”, long term disability, and employee life programs are all being negotiated at this time.

Automated time recording for employees is being considered, and several options are being evaluated at this time.

A motion was made by Ginny Hall and seconded by Becky Ball to adjourn at 11:25 a.m.
