Rob gave a brief overview of the web conference, “Emergency Response: Crafting and Implementing a Preparedness Plan” that was held on December 7.  He asked committee members for suggestions regarding compiling and/or updating a disaster preparedness plan (including updating our Emergency Procedures flip chart).  Stana, Rob and Bob will work together on this issue and report back to the committee.  It was also suggested that a separate ad hoc committee be formed to discuss the creation of an “epidemic plan”.  Committee agreed that Tempe Bartell, Campus Student Health Center Director, should be involved in any such discussions.  Stana will contact Tempe and invite her to our next meeting.

As a follow-up to the “Let There Be Light” report from the last meeting, Jeff informed the committee that the concrete light post behind Hoke does not have power to it and has not for several years.  When the weather improves, Facilities and Planning will explore options, including removing the post or making the light functional again.

It was suggested that the campus pursue the possibility of obtaining a grant to purchase one or more AEDs (cost is approximately $1,500.00 each).  Athletics is able to contribute $500 and Stana offered to meet with Mike Sirrine, Director of Grants & Sponsored Programs, to see what might be available.

The Volleyball Court issue is still unresolved.  Rob has been working with Facilities and Planning personnel to find a solution.  Jeff asked that the lack of lighting in the middle of the Volleyball Court be addressed as part of the process.  Rob will also draft a memo to Marv Wigle regarding the status of the Volleyball Court issue

Meeting adjourned.  The next meeting is scheduled for 1:00pm in the Ackerman Alumni Room on Monday, January 9, 2006.
