| Chair's Report |
All employees should have received email from President Eaglin in reference to the 2002/2003 Fiscal Year Budget. Some physical plant employees did not receive it, but copies will be printed to distribute to them. Personnel rosters are available at the Library. Supervisors should have received a spreadsheet showing salary increase for their employees. |
| Vice-Chair's Report |
Rebecca McGinnis is trying to work out a new place for Staff Congress to meet since ADUC will be unavailable.
Rep. Besant said there is space available at the Library if needed. Location: Open Reading Area on the 4th floor. It is not private, but is quiet and would be large enough to accommodate Staff Congress.

New Business
Will wait until next month's meeting to appoint new members to sub-committees when more members are in attendance. Chair Pace gave committee chairs the opportunity to explain what each committee handles so new members could be thinking about which committee they would like to serve on. Outgoing Secretary D. Sammons will update Staff Congress Member List so we will know who is still on committees.
Chair Pace will name Parliamentarian by next meeting and will inform members of location for that meeting.
The President's office wants a Staff Congress member to sit on a committee in reference to the Family Picnic that happens before school starts each year. Rep. LaFontaine volunteered to attend.
Questions for Roger Barker, Director of Human Resources:
1. Will employees get employment letters? They are printed. HR is waiting for approval from administration to send.
2. When does the Fiscal Year start for use of 12 days of Family Sick Leave? Is it January 1 or July 1? July 1 - June 30 is the fiscal year for Family Sick Leave and FMLA.
3. If an employee makes less per hour than the compensation scale shows, how does the supervisor handle it? Put in a PAR to meet the new minimum.
Regent Report
No Report
