Attending:  Bob, Doug, Manola, Carm, Brenda


1. Old Business:

   - Departmental interview process.  Doug is done with his interviews and
     Dave and Justin should be finished this week.   We will be making a 
     presentation on the first draft  of the SCAP proposal at the 3/24 ACAC 
     meeting.

   - Carson project.  Doug and Justin conducted a demonstration in the room
     the other night and everything seemed to work well.  The next step is to
     determine what projection system will be used. (NOTE:  The remaining
     ETI funds have been released to the campus, so the final parts of this
     project can now move ahead)

   - Timbuktu - The highest priority installations are Admissions, Central
     Computing, Registrar's office.

   - Orientation '95.  Doug will take the lead on this and meet with Dave,
     Manola and Joan to develop a plan of action.

   - SUNY workshops/conferences.  Doug is working with Cyntia Lucia to 
     coordinate an effort to publicize the upcoming SUNY sessions and to
     promote attendance through the use of a limited number of faculty 
     "scholarships" that will cover the costs involved.



2. New Business:

   - PEOPLE:

     New teams.  Bob reported that he had 2 new teams in mind but wanted
     to discuss the process by which new teams are formed.  It was agreed
     that proposals for new teams should be presented to this team first and
     should include the following information:

        - mission of the proposed team
        - goals for the proposed team
        - suggested team members
        - suggested team leader
        - suggested duration for the proposed team 
        - anticipated needs of the team (human and fiscal resouces--that is,
             how much time and money the team needs to achieve its goals)    

   - PUBLIC RELATIONS:

     Nothing discussed at this meeting.


   - BUDGET/FISCAL MATTERS:

     Most of the meeting focused on our budget.  We focused on the information
     we had from other department members, the spreadsheets we have developed
     on our final budget obligations, and lapsing funds requests.  Doug, Justin
     and Dave had prepared a spreadsheet that identified needs, how those needs
     related to our mission, the costs of meeting the needs and their priority.
     Great job!  Below is a summary of the final budget expenditures.
