Committee Report
An
issue of concern is second-hand smoke. Mary Jo Leveque reported
that the there have been some complaints to the safety department
regarding smoking near building entrances. Currently there is no
official rule as to distance to be maintained away from the
entrance of any building. She suggested we invite
Dennis Hansen, Safety Program Manager, to come clarify some of the
concerns, issues and currently regulations. The executive will
consider this.
Open Discussion - Visitors
There was a lengthy discussion regarding the numerous fundraisers on campus throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. There was a suggestion to consider consolidating some of them to perhaps make a bigger impact. We will invite Rose Murphy and Gail Jennings (Community Service/Outreach Committee) to discuss this matter further and also to find out what plans there are for spring.
The Charrette
The Charrette was another topic of discussion relative to justice issues, how to get staff more involved. It was suggested that we try to develop a plan for helping with and promoting the Charrette. We will contact the AVP’s office to find out how to accomplish this.
Ken Sammons, a visitor to the meeting, answered questions about some of the square footage issues and explained staff benchmarking, use of labor saving devices, team efforts, land acquisition and so forth.
