Mr. Fry distributed the agenda which included a review of the decision that had been reached at the senior officer retreat in Harrisonburg Va. Items that required action were assigned to members of the Committee.

Mr. Fry provided a status report on the 3rd lease at 5051 New Centre Drive. Due to some problems in the state property office in Raleigh, the university has yet to take occupancy. Both Human Resources and the Payroll office are prepared to move when the lease is signed.

Vice Chancellor Jordan proposed and the senior officers approved the creation of a property office to handle all leased and purchased off-campus properties. Mr. Fry supported this idea since time was being taken away from his main responsibility to manage the leases. Mr. Scott, Assistant VC for Business Affairs, will manage these responsibilities in the future.

The Committee considered several uses for the "White House" after it is vacated by the Payroll Office.

The Committee discussed the need to keep the university community informed about the status of construction and renovation projects. It was decided that a Communiqué article would be written about the projects and the facilities website would be updated on a regular basis with new information about projects. Mr. Fry and his staff will be responsible for both of these activities.
