Supervisor's Team
                         Meeting minutes
                            (2/16/95)


Attending:  Bob, Doug, Manola, Carm, Brenda


1. Old Business:

   - Departmental interview process.  Doug reports that the interview process is
     going well.  At least 5 - 6 departments have been interviewed to date.

   - TSL Audit.  Completed and returned.  Now, if they will just find us some
     $ from this audit!

   - Key systems (old phone system).  No progress on this.

   - MTN report:  Brenda reported that MTN has a $5000 line of credit for phone
     use.  She pointed out that dropping their 800 # would result in a real
     savings.


2. Important Goals to be accomplished by 2/23:

   - Dept. interviews will continue.

   - Manola will contact departments to locate the Key Systems (telephones)
     that Brenda listed.

   - Space Committee meetin on 2/22 @ 9am.  Bob will be attending.

   - Bob may be going to Ft. Drum to visit their videoconferencing facilities
     on 2/28.  If that date holds, we'll need to reschedule our department
     meeting.

   - Administrative equipment replacement:
     > Doug will coordinate the stewards (Doug, Justin, Dave) in being proactive
       about the opportunity to replace administrative equipment in offices
       around campus.

     > Discussed possible our own departmental needs for equipment (a car for
       transporting equipment; copier in Kellas.

     > Will continue this discussion at next meeting (2/23).  Identify any
       needs you think would qualify for admin. equipment replacement.

   - Bob reported that the Carson office group and Joan will be meeting at the
     end of the week (2/17) to discuss problems and planning.


3. New Business:

   - PEOPLE:

     See "Budget"


   - PUBLIC RELATIONS:

     Bob will present a proposal on handling complaints at the next meeting.


   - BUDGET/FISCAL MATTERS:

     Discussed the 5%/10% budget cut proposal to be made at the ISD Directors
     meeting on 2/16.  The following possible savings will be presented:

     $1000 - Eliminating the subsidization of MTN telephone expenses.  (NOTE:
       to    in the ISD meeting, there was strong sentiment that *all* MTN
      6000   telephone expenses be eliminated from the ISD budget - approx.
             $6K)

     $3600 - Elimination of Intellipath System (The emergency phone system if 
             we were ever to lose our entire campus system.  Brenda has written
             a memo on this explaining how the campus can address an outage
             without the Intellipath system red phones.)

     $2200 - S&E cuts.  We would cut the total $ amount we have for S&E to
       to    cover any small amounts of money that we would be required to
      7000   eliminate from our departmental budget. (NOTE:  The $2200 figure
             came from the ISD meeting based upon a 3-5% cut; $7K for a 10% 
             cut)

     $ 0   - Retirements.  There are retirements expected in our department.

     $ ??  - Travel.  We will cut this down but need to do some additional
             analysis of this before we do.

     $ 0   - Temp Service.  We are allocated $19,500 for Temp Service but spend
             considerably more to hire students.  Everyone felt this is one
             area where our funds are well-spent and that we should *not*
             cut this area if possible.

     $ ??  - Retrenchments/non-renewals.  This is a big uncertainty.  We have
             been told that we will probably be asked to give up one position.
             There are currently 5 staff members up for 
             renewal/re-approintment.


NEXT meeting:  Thursday, 2/23 @ 8am.
