Tech Fee Committee met on this date at 7:00 am in Pierce Library.
Proposals were discussed and approved / not approved to recommend funding as shown below:
Committee did not approve funding for this request. Committee agreed that the project is very worthwhile and might be an excellent project for a Multimedia class, but is not an appropriate use of Tech Fee funds.
Approved $5,500.00 “seed” money for the purchase of balances with the hope that the funds could serve as matching funds required for funding from other sources. Two stipulations were included: the balances purchased with Tech Fee funds should be of good quality and Tech Fee would not pay for future maintenance of the balances. Approved as amended - $5,500.00
Approved as submitted - $5,122.00
Committee did not approve funding for this request. Committee suggested that next year the College of Business submit a proposal for a new business lab. Helen Moore will check with Professor Hume-Schwartz regarding what program(s) her students need access to (currently not available in the labs) and the committee will consider having the programs(s) installed on computers in the current business lab and the three general-purpose labs.
Approved $7,400.00 “seed” money for the purchase of the enlarger with the hope that the funds could serve as matching funds required for funding from other sources. Approved as amended - $7,400.00
Approved $3,000.00 for one year’s subscription. Ongoing funding of this annual expense will be determined after reviewing statistics to be provided by Professor Gustafson (at the end of the first year’s subscription) regarding the number of students who use the service during the first year. Use must be documented. Approved as amended - $3,000.00
There was discussion regarding the quantity of equipment that would be sufficient for this proposal. Brian Pearson will contact Professor Loewen for more information regarding the student use of the equipment and will report back to the committee at the next meeting.
Committee asked Bryan Pearson to gather more information on this proposal and report back to the committee at the next meeting.

Helen Moore reported that this proposal could not be funded as requested because the state purchasing rules regarding obtaining bids were not followed. Professor Wordelman is encouraged to resubmit the proposal next year. Helen will coordinate with Professor Wordleman to ensure that next year the proposals are submitted in a form that can be funded.
