  • Arc 1078C Regents Board[681]
    ARC 1078C REGENTS BOARD[681] Adopted and Filed Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 262.9(3), the Board of Regents hereby amends Chapter 13, “Iowa State University of Science and Technology Organization and General Rules,” Iowa Administrative Code. In general, the amendments include basic “housekeeping” revisions such as updating titles and contact information. The amendment in Item 2 deletes the list of forms and directs the reader to the university’s Web site where the forms, primarily electronic, may be found. Amendments in Item 3 increase contracting authority given to the Senior Vice President and Provost. Amendments in Items 5 through 15 update procedures and processes for use of university facilities and grounds. Item 9 adds a subrule prohibiting camping on the campus except for specifically approved special events. Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on July 10, 2013, as ARC 0818C. A comment period was established. No comments were received. The Board made two minor changes to the proposed amendments. In paragraphs 13.12(1)“c” and 13.12(2)“c,” the phrase “ten business days and no later than four business days” was changed to “ten business days and not less than four business days.” In addition, for consistency throughout the amendments, the prefix “http://” was removed from web addresses in three instances in rule 681—13.1(262). The Board of Regents adopted the amendments on September 11, 2013. After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found. These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code section 262.9(3).

Set Spring Semester Meeting Times and Place: • February 28, 2017, 8:00 AM • March 30, 2017, 8:00 AM • April 27, 2017, 8:00 AM 4. Adjourn 0 CITY OF AMES, Iowa MEMO TO: Ames Transit Board of Trustees FROM: Sheri Kyras DATE: February 11, 2017 SUBJECT: System Redesign Study Presentation/Discussion BACKGROUND: At the January 19, 2017 Transit Board of Trustees meeting, CyRide’s System Redesign Study consultant, Nelson Nygaard, briefly updated board members on three potential transit system scenarios – ISU Status Quo, ISU Fiscally Constrained and Transformative. It was decided at that meeting that more time to understand and consider the options was needed and as a result, a special board meeting would be needed to accomplish these goals. Also, board members indicated an interest comments generated from the study’s online, community survey. INFORMATION: The purpose of the special meeting is to: • Provide a basic understanding of the changes under the Transformative scenario, as this option was not able to be discussed in great detail at the January board meeting, and to provide a summary of the two ISU scenarios discussed at that meeting • Discuss pros and cons for the community regarding each set of route changes in the scenarios • Introduce, and briefly discuss, new services that could be added to each of the scenarios as the “Transformative” and “ISU fiscally constrained” scenarios represent approximately 3% of the maximum 5% local funding partner’s annual increase approved by the Transit Board as a guiding principal for the study • Introduce, and briefly discuss, changes to CyRide’s operational policies, which could provide greater efficiency or cost effectiveness, but may impact current customer expectations • Discuss next steps and timing of study activities A PowerPoint presentation and handout materials will be prepared for the meeting to guide board members through the above topics.
