Technology Council - Minutes
Monday, December 6, 2004

Present: Brenda Amenson-Hill (for Sue Keihn) Sharon Dimmer, Steve Dutch, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Scott Hildebrand, Fergus Hughes, David Kieper, Kathy Pletcher, Dean Rodeheaver, Tim Sewall.
Not present: Fritz Erickson, Art Lacey, Adam Ruechel, Joyce Salisbury, Jan Thornton.

The meeting was called to order at 10:00 am. Minutes of the November 1, 2004 meeting were amended and approved by consensus.

The Council discussed Tech Plan 2010 Draft 6. A number of changes were made to the objectives. Kathy will make the changes and present Draft 7 to the Leadership Team on Wednesday, December 8. The Leadership Team may refer the plan to the Tech Council for additional changes, or they may approve it and send it on to the Cabinet for priority setting and final review. Once the Cabinet adopts the plan Kathy will draft an action plan to carry out the top priorities for the next two years. The action plan would include timelines and resources needed.

The Council reviewed the Lab Plans for 2005/06 and approved the current array of labs with a total cost of $109, 505. The total dollars available in the Lab/Classroom Modernization Fund for 2005/06 is $182,824. Once the computer lab costs are taken off the top there will be $73,319 remaining for other lab and classroom equipment. The Council discussed the growing cost of the current Lab Plan and whether we need to review the usage of these labs. Kathy agreed to put this on the agenda for the March meeting. CIT can provide login data which shows usage for discussion at the March meeting. Fergus indicated that he is interested in reviewing the log data and discussing the usage patterns with the LAS chairs or possibly at a joint unit chair meeting.

Two agenda items, Policy for the Disposal and Surplus Handling of Computers and Electronic Storage Devices, and Acceptable Use Policy, were deferred to the next meeting as there was insufficient time remaining.

Meetings for the spring semester will be 10:00-11:00 on February 7, March 7, April 4, and May 9 (all Mondays.)
The meeting adjourned at 11:30

Respectfully submitted
-- Kathy Pletcher
