Kay Brown will send the above recommendations to Norm Tarbox.

GONDOLA 
President Millner distributed a statement that has been given to the Standard Examiner regarding the proposed gondola projects.

IT OUTAGE 
The Executive Committee discussed having someone give a summary to the Faculty Senate on what happened with the power outage and what is being done. The Executive Committee felt that faculty concern was deeper than the 39 Senate members and that perhaps a general faculty meeting was needed. President Millner and Don Gardner will set up a general meeting for faculty and staff to let them know what happened and what steps have been taken to prevent the circumstances of the last power outage.

UNION BUILDING 
The design of the Union Building meets the Faculty Senate resolution to include a small (50-75 seats) quiet, table-service dining room. We are now dealing with operational issues. The Director of Chartwells, Agostino Digiacomo, will attend the Senate meeting in November. Chartwells has made a good effort to offer good food at a reasonable price in the Skyroom, but currently there is not enough support to make it profitable.

PARKING CMTE 
The Parking Committee approved a $10 fee for campus police to unlock cars. Concern was expressed about additional fees continually being charged students.

SALARY, BENEFITS, BUDGET AND FISCAL PLANNING COMMITTEE  
The possibility of having the Salary, Benefits, Budget and Fiscal Planning Committee negotiation team look at the supplemental pay policy was discussed. PPM 1-13, Article B-V, 4.8 states: "A subcommittee shall serve under the direction of this Committee and represent the faculty in salary and related negotiations with the University administration. No two members of this subcommittee shall be from the same organizational unit. This subcommittee shall consist of the Faculty Senate chair, the chair of the Committee on Salary, Benefits, Budget and Fiscal Planning and a third member nominated by the Committee and approved by the Faculty Senate."

It was pointed out that the Negotiation Team is activated by the Salary Committee. The Salary, Benefits, Budget and Fiscal Planning Committee will meet on October 25. The Provost will be invited to attend that meeting.

ADJOURN 
The meeting adjourned at 3:08 p.m.
