Present: Jonathan Brand, Tom Crady, Leslie Gregg-Jolly, John Kalkbrenner, Jacob Kaufman-Osborn, Mark Montgomery, Russell Osgood, Susan Schoen, Marci Sortor, Jim Swartz, and Karen Voss.

Jonathan Brand opened the meeting at 12:06 p.m. Central Standard Time. He introduced the two agenda items and brought the Committee up to date on the efforts of the sub-committee charged with assisting the College's Office of Accounting in rolling out the new technological budget management processes. The group had met and discussed improvements to the budget management system as well as an appropriate manner to present the system to the campus. Discussion ensued.

A brief discussion ensued concerning the campus use of recycled paper and the cost savings represented by its use. John Kalkbrenner stated that the pre-printed college stationery uses 100% recycled paper, but many offices/areas resist purchasing recycled paper for other uses because of its poor performance in copiers and printers. Russell Osgood reported that he and John Kalkbrenner continue to work with the student environmental group regarding this issue.

Karen Voss will photocopy all of the budget requests for the two subgroups (academic and non-academic budgets) and have the copies distributed during the week after Thanksgiving. The membership of the sub-committee to review the non-academic budget requests will be Tom Crady, John Kalkbrenner, Todd Reding, Marci Sortor, Karen Voss, and Frank Thomas. The membership of the group to consider the academic budget requests will be Leslie Gregg-Jolly, Mark Montgomery, Helen Scott, Marci Sortor, and Jim Swartz. The sub-committees will provide a progress report before the end of the semester. Discussion ensued.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:45 p.m. Central Standard Time.
Respectfully submitted,

Susan M. Schoen
