Approval of May 22, 2007 Meeting Minutes The minutes of the May 22, 2007 meeting were reviewed. It was noted that under Old Business, the Student Ambassadors had participated in the teddy bear collections, not Student Senate. Also, under New Business, it should read that Cynthia Pirkle is replacing Judy Brake, not Brenda Campbell. Jerry Herget motioned to approve the minutes as amended. Vicky Sebold seconded and the motion carried.

Reports Administrative Liaison/Cabinet Meeting/Board of Trustees: Rick Turley had nothing to report.

Certified Liaison: Sue Morgan was not present to report.

Faculty Liaison: No faculty member was present to report.

Charlett distributed and reviewed the Classified Professional Staff Annual Report.

Old Business Charlett distributed information from the Ozarks Technical College Tobacco-Free Campus Workshop. Lois Underwood provided this information. She attended the workshop, but could not be at the meeting today. Linda Bigelow has been charged with the smoke-free initiative on our campus. The tentative goal for the campus to be smoke-free is by 2010.

Jim Lehn researched potential relocation sites for one of the paper recycling bins. He thinks the best spot would be in the parking lot between the Library and Arts & Sciences II. Charlett will send Rick Turley a memo asking Cabinet to consider moving the bin.

New Business Charlett met recently with Kim Harvey and Dr. Michael Booker about the Accreditation process and evaluation, which is scheduled for 2009. She distributed an Accreditation Timeline. Charlett indicated that information such as meeting minutes and annual reports will have to be provided by our committee.

Vicky Sebold suggested that the Classified Staff meetings continue to be held on the third Tuesday of each month for 2007-2008. However, Rick Turley stated that he will be out of town on July 17, so the next meeting was moved to July 24, 2007, at 2:30 p.m., in the Viking Annex.

Miscellaneous Rick Turley reported that two minivans were recently purchased by the College.

Shannon Schoenky reported that Michelle Kopp has been hired as the new Admissions/Financial Aid Representative and Holly Lincoln has been hired as the new Assistant Registrar. The search for the Records Assistant I position will begin soon.

Vicky Sebold noted that the Classified Professional Staff Graduate Reception went very well. She requested that next year if representatives know of anyone graduating, to provide their names to her.

Jim Lehn thanked the committee for their work this year.

There being no further business, Jim Lehn motioned to adjourn and CJ Thornborrow seconded. The meeting was adjourned at 2:55 p.m.

Respectfully submitted, Shannon Schoenky
