Executive Governance Council Handbook – Dr. Beebe presented a comprehensive overview of the final draft with revisions requested of the new Participatory Governance Structure. After review of the document, Council Members voted unanimously to accept the structure as presented. Dr. Beebe thanked the Council and expressed his appreciation for everyone’s efforts, which have extended over the last 10 months.
Dr. Beebe will insert the chart into the Handbook and send the final document to Council Members before having it printed. When the Handbooks are ready for distribution, Dr. Beebe, Esther Matthew and Rita Avila will present the document to Academic, Classified Senates, and the Administrative Governance Council.
Meeting Schedule – After a brief discussion Council Members agreed that two (2) members per colleague group must be in attendance in order to have a quorum. This will ensure adequate input and representation of each group. In the event a quorum cannot be reached by one of the constituency groups, the meeting will be canceled and/or rescheduled. This will be reflected in the Participatory Governance Handbook, Executive Governance Council description.
With this in mind, the meeting schedule was reviewed. It was agreed that the October 8 meeting would be cancelled because a quorum would not be reached for Administrative Governance Council and Classified Senate. Council Members were asked to review the schedule and email Kim Laramie with individual conflicts. She will inform Dr. Beebe of any meetings where a quorum cannot be reached.
Next Meeting – Wednesday, October 22, 2008
