Attending: Beach, Boyd, Davis, Dodd, Farley, Fry, Hosier, and Rowell

Meeting with Faculty Senate Buildings and Grounds Committee:

Mr. Fry and Mr. Davis reviewed the meeting that the Chancellor and Business Affairs staff had with the Faculty Senate Buildings and Grounds Committee. The Committee asked for more and earlier involvement in the Master Planning process and building siting decisions. Each member will review and comment on the building, traffic and parking guidelines recently adopted by the University Planning and Quality Council. These guidelines will be used as the basis for the development of the next campus master plan. The Chancellor asked Business Affairs to take the steps necessary to begin a new master planning process. Each person who is involved in the process should be prepared to take a proactive and continuing approach to the development of this document.

After extensive discussion about the Facilities Committee’s involvement in the master planning process, the group asked Mr. Fry to talk with the Chancellor about establishing guidelines for the process and possibly lodging oversight responsibility in the University Planning and Quality Council. The Committee’s next meeting will focus on the content of the master planning guidelines.

Status of Campus Building and Renovation Projects:

Mr. Davis reviewed the current status of campus building and renovation projects. A number of items will be approved at January 17^th and 18^th meeting of the Board of Trustees. Of special note is the continuing slide in the Westside Hall project. The Telecommunication’s building is in the punch list phase of the project. Mr. Davis will review changes to laws governing state construction at a future meeting.

Committee will meet on January 23^rd to continue discussion of the master planning guidelines.
