D. STATE OF THE COLLEGE:

Chairman Goins called on President Gerald I. Lamkin for the President’s Report.

 President Lamkin called on Chuck Harris, Vice President for Development, for a report on the Lamkin Center. Vice President Harris said that Ivy Tech Foundation partnered with Central Office and Region 8-Central Indiana on April 22 to honor President Lamkin as part of the annual April in Paris event. Over $75,000 was netted for this joint function with $48,000 committed to the Lamkin Center. It was a wonderful event to recognize President Lamkin on his retirement, and we appreciate those who helped support the event. Vice President Harris directed the trustees to the brochure in their folders that highlights the purposes of the Lamkin Center: jumpstart and develop new distance education courses and programs that are desperately needed and review instructional delivery systems to make sure they are efficient and effective at delivering our programs throughout the state. The Center will help faculty prepare classrooms so they are able to integrate technology into their curriculum, and help train faculty in using that technology. In total, we are at a little over $1.4 million in support for the Lamkin Center. We owe much thanks to the largest and most consistent donor to Ivy Tech—the State of Indiana, and particularly the Indiana General Assembly, with a $1 million appropriation for the Lamkin Center. We have also worked with all 14 regions that are doing something innovative related to the goals of the Lamkin Center in their own regions. Ivy Tech Foundation is providing a matching fund, and as a result of that partnership, there is another $300,000 of support for either regional projects or the Lamkin Center centrally. Vice President Harris joked that if one of the state trustees is inclined to set up the first endowed chair at Ivy Tech for $1.5 million, he would be happy to help structure that gift. On a serious note, he expressed hope that the first endowed chair at Ivy Tech will be for the Director for the Lamkin Center.

 President Lamkin called on Jeff Fanter, Executive Director of Marketing and Communications, for a marketing update. Mr. Fanter directed the trustees to their folders for copies of newspaper articles from around the state concerning the recent regional visits of President-elect Snyder and President Lamkin. Mr. Fanter also said that a special video honoring President Lamkin was put together for the April in Paris event, and he played the 10-minute video for everyone in attendance. Concluding his remarks, Mr. Fanter said that the trustees have witnessed with this video and the video played at the President’s Awards Dinner last night the telling of the Ivy Tech story around the state. He said that his goal is to tell the Ivy Tech story around the country: Our new marketing campaign rolls out in October and we will get more aggressive with our media relations efforts.

 At this, his last Board of Trustees meeting, President Lamkin took a few moments to summarize his 39 years of service with Ivy Tech. He said that Ivy Tech has gone through many focus studies, and the name that everyone recognizes is “Ivy Tech.” He said that he has not missed a state trustee meeting or Foundation board meeting BOARD MINUTES JUNE 14, 2007 PAGE 5 in the 24 years he has been president, and before that, he never missed a regional board meeting as a regional administrator. He suffered a stroke, had broken bones, and has lived through the Indianapolis Star exposés, but he still found ways to attend meetings. He commented that he is proud of new president Tom Snyder. President Lamkin identified several regional board chairs who were in attendance. He called on Region 8 Board Chair, Ural Smith, for comments on behalf of all regional board members. Mr. Smith said that he was pleased to be part of the activities today. He said that President Lamkin’s career at Ivy Tech has been outstanding and he has clearly demonstrated his leadership in the communities. He said that he feels proud that the College is moving ahead in the same direction that the state board has set forward. He knows that President Lamkin will continue to do great things for the communities. President Lamkin said that the regional boards are the “main street” of Ivy Tech. He also applauded the chancellors, vice presidents, and the staff of Ivy Tech. He said that they are wonderful people. As he takes another path with Ivy Tech, he will write the history of Ivy Tech. Helping him do this is Bill DuBois, former Ivy Tech employee. He said he will also work with the new president and the Ivy Tech Foundation. He said that he and his wife, Louise, and their family appreciate the opportunity that the College and Foundation have given them over the past 39 years. As he departs this position, he leaves us what he has tried to convey as president: he is for the students—always has been and always will. The students should take pride in themselves and know that the sky is the limit. He thanked all of the current and former state and regional trustees of Ivy Tech. He said he takes pride in becoming the first president emeritus of Ivy Tech. He said that when he started his career at Ivy Tech in 1967, the mayor of Indianapolis—Dick Lugar— introduced him to the building trades. For the last 39 years, the building trades have had representation on the Ivy Tech Board of Trustees, and he presented a pin to Trustee Foote, the last building trades representative to serve as a state trustee. He said that he does not say goodbye, but rather auf Wiedersehen!, which means “I’ll see you later.” He concluded his remarks by saying that Ivy Tech is his life. Trustee Bumbleburg read aloud in its entirety Resolution Number 2007-38, Appointment of Gerald I. Lamkin as President Emeritus of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, and moved for its approval. Trustee V. Bruce Walkup seconded the motion, and the trustees showed their approval by standing. The motion carried unanimously.

Trustee Bumbleburg presented President Lamkin with the signed and framed resolution. Chairman Goins thanked President Lamkin for everything he has done and thanked his family for everything they have endured.

E. TREASURER’S REPORT:

Chairman Goins called on Bob Holmes, Vice President for Finance/Treasurer, for the Treasurer’s Report. BOARD MINUTES JUNE 14, 2007

 Treasurer Bob Holmes said that we have completed 11 months of the 2006-07 fiscal year and we will begin the year-end closeout process in about three weeks. He said that it will be a challenge this year as we begin implementation of the finance module of the new Banner software system at the same time we do the closeout of the old fiscal year. As we near the end of 2006-07, it has been another good year for Ivy Tech. A year ago, after going to meet with the rating analysts in New York City, we received our first AA- credit report from Fitch Ratings and Standard and Poor rated us at A+ and improved our outlook from stable to positive. Since that time, we have had another year of strong enrollment growth and a successful legislative session. Our College financial position has continued to improve as well. Our general fund revenues are up $19 million versus the same time last year. This growth is primarily due to our enrollment growth, as student fee revenue increased nearly $15 million. State appropriations this year are up $5 million. Other revenue is down by about $300,000 as increases in investment income have been offset by declines in overhead recovery, insurance refunds, and other miscellaneous revenue. Expenditures have increased by about $16 million this year from last year, and we continue to have a positive spread of about $3 million this year. The majority of the expenditure increase is for salary and benefits, which are up about $14 million, as a result of the 3% and 4% salary pools last year for staff and faculty, respectively, and the addition of new faculty and staff added to serve our students. Supplies and expenses and other expenses have grown by about $1.9 million, which includes legal expenses which exceeded our budget. Interim Counsel Bill Riggs provided a full explanation to the trustees in Executive Session. Several capital projects are currently underway totaling $140 million. They are either in the midst of or nearing completion. All of those are on track to finish within the budget as well. When they are all in service, they will have a significant impact on both the quality and quantity of our academic space. Vice President Holmes called for questions, and there were none. Trustee Foote moved that the Treasurer’s Report be approved. Trustee Kaye H. Whitehead seconded the motion, and the motion carried unanimously.

F. COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Item 1 Reporting for the Executive Committee, Chairman Goins reported that no Executive Committee meeting has been held since the Board last met.

 Chairman Goins asked Trustee Lee J. Marchant to present Resolution Number 2007-20. Trustee Marchant explained that the terms of certain regional trustees are due to expire on June 30, 2007. In accordance with state statute, three nominations for each region trustee vacancy have been submitted by each of the regional boards for the state board of trustees’ consideration. Trustee Marchant moved to approve Resolution Number 2007-20, Appointment and Reappointment of Regional Trustees, for eight regions and the respective names set forth in the attachment to the resolution. Trustee Bumbleburg seconded the motion, and the motion carried unanimously.

Item 3 Chairman Goins called on Trustee Lee J. Marchant for the Planning and Education Committee Report. Trustee Marchant presented the following resolution for approval.

 Resolution Number 2007-29, Approval of New Programs. Ivy Tech Community College has identified the importance of providing educational opportunities for its students and has identified needs for degree programs in the following regions:

Associate of General Studies (AGS) at all Ivy Tech Community College regions.

The AGS degree is tailored to the individual student’s interests, background, previous higher education, and workforce experiences. It will allow students flexibility to use Prior Learning Assessment, the Workforce Certification Crosswalk, credits taken at other institutions, and courses taken at Ivy Tech, combined into an associate degree that meets their needs for employment, employment mobility, or personal enrichment. A two-year degree and degree program like the proposed Associate of General Studies is common in community colleges nationally. With the addition of the AGS, the inventory of Ivy Tech Community College degrees and certificates offered statewide will include Certificate, Technical Certificate, Associate of Applied Science, Associate of Fine Arts, Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of General Studies.

After approval, the proposal will be submitted to the commission for Higher Education for appropriate action. Trustee Marchant made the motion to approve Resolution Number 2007-29 and Trustee Jesse R. Brand seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.

Trustee Marchant reported that the Planning and Education Committee also reviewed data about the cost of education, talked about program accreditation, workforce and economic development, and graduation and transfer rates during their meeting earlier today.

7 BOARD MINUTES JUNE 14, 2007

Management. Trustee Marchant directed the trustees to pages 63 and 64 of their booklets for an update of the many activities supported by grants from the Lilly Endowment, the Joyce Foundation, and the Lumina Foundation. Concluding his report, Trustee Marchant announced that Ms. Jewel K. Diller from Region 3 is the 2007 Glenn W. Sample Award winner, and he called on Region 3 Chancellor, Dr. Mark Keen, for comments about Ms. Diller. Dr. Keen said that this is exciting news for Region 3. He said that Ms. Diller is truly one of their exemplary faculty members. She was instrumental in the very first distance education course that the campus delivered from Region 3. She has gone on to distinguish herself holding almost every chair in the nursing program over her 18-year tenure with the College, and she holds two masters degrees. She is a quality individual who will represent the state well.

Item 4 Chairman Goins called upon Trustee John P. Griffin for the Buildings, Grounds, and Capital Committee Report. Trustee Griffin presented the following resolutions.

 Resolution Number 2007-30 , Approval to Receive Approximately 44.995 Acres of Land at the Fort Wayne State Developmental Center by Transfer, Region 3. This resolution authorizes the College to accept 44.995 acres of land at the Fort Wayne State Development Center as a transfer from the State of Indiana using the Fort Wayne Redevelopment Commission as an intermediary. The property and one of the buildings being transferred will be used for the newly approved capital project.

 Resolution Number 2007-31 , Approval to Purchase 0.196 Acres of Improved Land at 605 Colonial Avenue in Evansville, Region 12. This resolution authorizes the College to purchase property at 605 Colonial Avenue in Evansville for $101,000. The property will be leased to a tenant until the College owns sufficient properties in the block and it is practical to demolish the homes for additional improvements at the campus.

 Resolution Number 2007-32 , Authorization to Negotiate a Lease with the Portage Downtown Development Corporation for a Building in Portage, Region 1. This resolution authorizes the College to negotiate a lease with the Portage Redevelopment Commission for a building to be constructed to College specifications in Portage. The project was funded by the 2007 General Assembly in the amount of $1,600,000 for the second year of the biennium. Please note that the Portage entity is its Redevelopment Commission instead of the previously reported Downtown Development Corporation. Additionally, the Buildings, Grounds, and Capital Committee wants to be certain that the Board is aware that this project was not part of the Board’s priority for the 2007 biennial budget request. After discussion, we are recommending moving forward with the project and understand that the

8 BOARD MINUTES JUNE 14, 2007

College’s normal process of negotiation will include a clause that limits our future payments to General Assembly appropriations for this project.

 Resolution Number 2007-33 , Approval to Exercise a Ten-Month Renewal Option for the Tucker and Jones Buildings in Marion, Region 6. This resolution authorizes the College to exercise a ten-month renewal option for the Tucker and Jones buildings in Marion for $393,231. There is a 120 day notice to terminate clause so that if the College is ready to move into the new building earlier than expected, we can do so.

 Resolution Number 2007-34 , Approval to Exercise a Four-Year Renewal Option for the Southern Indiana Instructional Center Building in Batesville, Region 11. This resolution authorizes the College to exercise a four-year renewal option for the Southern Indiana Instructional Center in Batesville. Rent for the four-year renewal option is $42,780 per year.

 Resolution Number 2007-35 , Approval to Increase the Contract Authorization for the Madison New Construction and Renovation Project, Region 11. This resolution increases the contract authorization for the Madison new construction and renovation project. With part of the $1.1 million savings that were the result of the bid process, we are expanding the new Madison building by about 5,400 square feet using change orders. The project is at the point that the sum of the change orders for the addition and already processed change orders will exceed the 10 percent allowed by the State Trustee’s by-laws. In order to proceed without bidding each change order, additional authorization is being requested. This resolution increases the authorization level for this project by $1,075,000 so that change orders to the existing contracts can continue to be used for the addition and other needed changes.

 Resolution Number 2007-36 , Approval to Dispose of Property Not Needed by the College at its New Logansport Campus Site, Region 5. This resolution authorizes an easement on the newly acquired Logansport land for the City to construct and maintain a road and utility lines through the property and a temporary drainage easement for a dry detention pond. Granting this easement has an estimated value to the College of over $1,000,000.

 Resolution Number 2007-37 , Approval to Renovate the Fifth Floor of the North Meridian Center Building in Indianapolis, Region 8. This resolution authorizes a contract for the North Meridian Center Fifth Floor renovation project. Three bids were received. The lowest bidder was not able to produce a bid bond and was rejected. The second lowest bidder was Carlino Corporation at $485,911, including four alternates. They were judged

9 BOARD MINUTES JUNE 14, 2007

to have submitted the best and most responsive bid meeting all bid requirements.

 Resolution Number 2007-39, Approval to Lease Part of the Amatrol Building in Jeffersonville, Region 13. This resolution authorizes a lease for part of the Amatrol Building in Jeffersonville. Rent will be $119,250 per year and the initial term will be two years. Additional space is needed by the Sellersburg campus to offer classes this fall and the Amatrol Building has been proposed as the best solution to Sellersburg’s space issues until the new construction project can be completed.

Trustee Griffin made the motion to approve Resolution Numbers 2007-30, 2007-31, 2007-32, 2007-33, 2007-34, 2007-35, 2007-36, and 2007-39, and Trustee Whitehead seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.

At this time during the regular meeting, Chairman Goins called a public hearing for the consideration and awarding of a Public Works contract for the Renovation of Part of the Fifth Floor of the North Meridian Center Building in Indianapolis, Region 8. Trustee Griffin moved that Resolution Number 2007- 37 for the awarding of a contract for the Renovation of Part of the Fifth Floor of the North Meridian Center Building in Indianapolis be approved. Trustee Whitehead seconded the motion. Chairman Goins asked if anyone in attendance had anything to present to the Board regarding this Resolution, and no one came forward. Chairman Goins called for a vote to approve Resolution Number 2007-37, Approval to Renovate the Fifth Floor of the North Meridian Center Building in Indianapolis, Region 8, and the motion carried unanimously.

Item 5 At this time, Chairman Goins called upon Trustee Pfau for approval of the 2007-08 salaries. Trustee Pfau moved to approve the salaries for chancellors and senior administrators effective July 1, 2007, as presented by President Lamkin during Executive Session this morning. Trustee Foote seconded the motion, and the motion carried unanimously.

Item 6 Chairman Goins called upon Trustee Neff to give the Audit Committee Report. Trustee Neff reported that the Audit Committee reviewed the audit reports that had been conducted and reflected the activities of the audit department since the last Board meeting. They also discussed any changes in direction with the respect of any future audits. The Committee was informed that the contract for the hotline that will be College-wide will hopefully be initiated by the first of July. That is pending a review by our legal department to make sure we have all compliance pieces together and we have proper protocol, which we feel we do. This will be managed by the College’s internal audit group. Another item that has been discussed at length is a formalized mission statement from the internal audit department, considering

10 BOARD MINUTES JUNE 14, 2007

that the audit department does reflect the wishes of the trustees to promote their fiduciary responsibility to the College. Trustee Neff directed the trustees to their folders for a copy of the proposed mission statement for which he would seek approval. The Internal Audit Mission Statement states that the mission of the Internal Audit Department is to work with management; to provide the State Board of Trustees and College management with an independent, objective assessment of the Institution’s system of controls; to provide advisory services designed to add value and assist all levels of administration in achieving the College’s objectives; to help protect the College against fraud, abuse, and waste; the internal audit department is under the control of the State Board of Trustees, to assist in upholding the Board’s fiduciary responsibility to the people of Indiana; to help insure the College’s compliance with both the state and federal statutes; and to comply with the intent of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Trustee Bumbleburg moved that the Internal Audit Mission Statement be approved, and Trustee Martie Rivas- Ramos seconded the motion. Trustee Griffin asked for clarification on the application of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and Trustee Neff explained that the intent is to comply with the Act as it applies to non-profit organizations. The motion carried unanimously.

 Trustee Foote took this opportunity to thank President Lamkin, staff, fellow Board members for the pleasure of working with them and encouraged all to keep up the good work.

Trustee Bumbleburg said that leaving this Board gives him mixed feelings. Over the years, he has observed this College grow. Many of the earlier positive comments about President Lamkin are true, and a lot of that was done with the support of the Board. He has made many friends with the Board members, and he has great respect for the Board members. He said he loves the College and he supports the mission of the College. He also said that one cannot serve as long as he has and not have some sadness of having to leave a good group of people. It has been a wonderful experience to work with wonderful staff, faculty. This has been a remarkable experience in the world of not-for-profit, in which he spent a lot of time. He thanked all of the trustees who helped him when he was Chairman of the Board and during the rest of his service. Ivy Tech is on an exciting course to do even greater things for Indiana.

Trustee Griffin thanked everyone for the opportunity and hoped that it would be made available to serve again in the future.

Trustee Goins said that the staff and chancellors have done an outstanding job. All of the friendships mean a great deal. He has gotten the opportunity to watch everyone at work, and he believes we put students first. Keep moving forward. To President Lamkin, Trustee Goins said that they have had their disagreements in the past, but he believes that they are better friends than when he first came on the

12 BOARD MINUTES JUNE 14, 2007

Board. To the trustees, Trustee Goins said that the challenges are there, but he knows they can handle them. He appreciates the hard work that everyone contributes to the College.

 President Lamkin announced that a picnic would be held in the parking lot of the North Meridian Center tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. so he and his wife, Louise, could thank the staff. Mrs. Lamkin said this is a way for them to thank everyone who has been associated with Ivy Tech over the years.

 Newly elected Chairman Brand said that it was a great privilege and honor for him, as his first official act as Chairman of the Board of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, to have the opportunity to present to Trustee Goins a plaque in recognition of his service as Chairman of the Board, and in greater way, recognition of his service as a member of the Board for many years. He said it has been a privilege to have the opportunity to serve with and learn from Trustee Goins. He said that if he could be the fraction of the chairman that Trustee Goins has been, he thinks he will have done a pretty good job. Chairman Brand said that this is a small token but it is presented with sincere gratitude and thanks for all that Trustee Goins has done for Ivy Tech.

I. ADJOURNMENT:

There being no further business to come before the Board, Trustee Foote made the motion to adjourn, and Trustee Duckwall seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
