 6. Emergency Volunteer Assistance

M. Fazzini & R. Spiers – about 25 volunteers so far, need about 100 volunteers in program; if volunteering doesn’t work they will ask for people in certain areas to be assigned; one issue is that PA system is only operating in area where the problem is.  Cabinet has proposal to have these volunteers to become certified; Milton Township is offering federal training program, looking at release time for training (21 hours).  Question about exactly what people are volunteering for – looking at fire & tornado evacuation, some are trained through TLC – CPR, fire extinguisher.  How are evenings being addressed – trying to balance; suggestion to have all faculty trained to know what needs to happen when alarms go off.

Need to make sure that this training is part of our professional development.

J. Collins – slightly over $2,000; he will send out appeal for annual donation; fund is used for charitable donations, support of administrators, meeting support.

Leadership Council – (handout) Quality Improvement Council – have met 4 times, approved new QIP Initiatives (handout – matrix of projects to keep track of)

See T. Ryan’s report

 8. Future Financial Analysis

J. Martner & J. Collins – summary of work from last meeting distributed.  Dan & Harlan shared with President, good work but he wanted feedback on obvious errors (are data used erroneous or analysis faulty?).  Some assumptions are not based on meaningful or sound information; some modifications have been made.

Suggestion was for everyone to re-review and submit comments; Some want to use it to explain to others (faculty, students) – need concise presentation; request one-sheet given to all by the President at beginning of year; need to help people understand.

The list is good and things that should be done; where do they fit? Some may be incorporated into Academic Strategic Plan (J. Collins will review), some might be part of negotiation of faculty contract (associate dean beginning to review)

 9. Heartwalk

Lauren Morgan – Sunday, Sept. 24th, she tries to get people to serve as team captains, who get walkers, who raise $$; Steering Committee to help organize; have 11 teams. Want administrative support for those who are involved, see it as community connection opportunity, support those who have heart disease and we’re host; to get involved – can work at event, serve as a team captain or be a walker.  Goal is $20,000; working on reward for C.O.D. team that raises most money.

 10. Doctoral Program

B. Troller – National-Louis sharing marketing info and then asked to send info on doctoral program; looking to tailor site to community college that has several people interested.

 11. Ethics Act

 G. Joos – State ethics law; Attorney General decided that community college employees should be part of this; requires that every single employee must take ethics training every year; state is offering an on-line (with paper backup) training Sept. & Oct.; also requires time reporting for everyone.  ICCB & many community colleges are getting ready to file a class action suit; until then we need to comply. ICCB is coming up with processes, forms, etc.
