  Archived Minutes - November 2000

PRESENT: Karen Anderson, Don Broshears, Becky Ball, Debbie Clark, Barb Goodwin, Ginny Hall, Melissa Burch, Michelle Hermann, Kathy MacGregor, Phyllis Oeth, Lois Stevens, Sally Townsend, Jalane Weber, Darlene Fisher, Kim Greenlee

Kim Greenlee, HR coordinator, was introduced by Darlene Fisher.  Kim will assist Staff Council with the mentoring program.

Employee Relations: Staff Council Family Outing tickets for the Dec. 16 basketball games will be available from the PAC counter.  200 tickets have been reserved for this event.  Each full time employee may have 4 tickets.  The Varsity Club will be providing food for the families. Attendance prizes  have been donated by local business to encourage attendance.

Photos of new employees or those who may have been missed last time are needed for the slide presentation at the Spring Staff Meeting.  Still looking for a presenter for this Jan 3 meeting.

Economic Benefits:  The budget hearings will take place from mid February thru mid March.  Don Broshears talked to Dennis Avery about increasing the multiplier factor.  To increase the multiplier requires changes to be made by the state legislation which will require state wide support.

By-Laws for Staff Council are being revised.  Each member has received a copy of the present by-laws with changes that have been proposed and was asked to make their recommendations at the January meeting.

OLD BUSINESS: Part time employees are usually not eligible for free classes offered by the university.  However, if the class enhances the present work of the employee, decisions about class participation are studied on a case by case basis.

Thanks to Barb Goodwin who did an Excellent job on the Proclamation for the Great American  Smoke out.

NEW BUSINESS:  The following committees have been filled:

Traffic: Lois Stevens

Substance Abuse: Karen Anderson

EEO: Ginny Hall 3 years,  Barb Goodwin 2 years,  Mandy Fulton 1 year

Safety: Jerry Bulger (not a current staff council member, but will report anything necessary to Staff Council).

Family Sick Leave: Presently there is a 5 day limit for family sick time off.  Questions were asked about the possibility of rolling over those days or if a percentage of personal sick time could be used for family. Darlene Fisher will check on guidelines and possibilities.

Melissa Burch will fill the remainder of the term left vacant by Linda Harmon who resigned from Staff Council.

Darlene Fisher reported that the smoking committee reports from before were recovered.  The committee is trying to secure 2 students and one administrative replacement to add to the present committee.  The committee hopes to meet before the holidays.  A major concern is smoking outside building entrances.    

December 14 from 11 – 1 will be Open House at the President’s home.

Compensation and Benefits Manager Angie Brawdy will return at the beginning of the year from maternity leave.  Heide  Oxby has been hired as Administrative Assistant in HR

An announcement concerning inclement weather procedures was suggested.

December 25, 26 and 27 will be considered Holiday pay.  December 28 and 29 will be winter recess, and Jan 1 will be Holiday.

Most of the employee evaluations have been turned in to HR.  It was discussed again about the possibility of revising the format of the forms to fit the departments.  A suggestion was made that evaluations be completed on employees anniversary date rather than all at the same time.

There will be no December meeting.  The next meeting will be January 24, 2001.

A motion was made to adjourn the meeting at 11:00 by Ginny Hall and seconded by Becky Ball.
