Present: Carol Jacobson, Curt Williams, Suzanne Genz, Wendy Baia, Gloria Delfaro, Barbara McMynn, James F. Williams, Scott Seaman.
Chair: Suzanne Genz
Recorder: Barbara McMynn
I. Social Functions Committee:
The new Social Functions committee members are Karla Schorzman, Ann Larson, and Naomi Heiser. They will be meeting with the Dean's office staff to review the committee structure and how they will be working with the Dean's office. Once the committee has determined a Chair, the LAB will request a meeting (in Sept.) with the new Chair to review the responsibilities of the committees regarding the Awards Ceremony.
Award Ceremony:
Discussion:
CBS room is a great location for the ceremony. All groups (Bookfinders, Friends, Department volunteers) should be recognized with no individual names read, the names should be listed in the program.
II. JSB/email
A. Cleaning the staff lounge refrigerator and microwave.
LAB will continue investigating options.
Action: Scott will ask Facilities Management if we can request custodial services to clean the microwave and frig from time to time.
B. No new Johann or email messages
III. Orientation packets
There is an experimental Web version attached to the Administrative Services Web page.
IV. LAB Web page appears to have been updated. Minutes are available through February 98.
V. OCI and Supervisor assessments
Discussion:
Staff and Faculty may contact any member of OCI to make a suggestion. Several models are under consideration. One suggestion is in favor of the confidential evaluations. This sounded the most promising. It would be a voluntary process. There would be a call for comments (such as: 3 questions to be answered). Information will be requested on an employee at the time of the evaluation, and must be signed by the person sending the comments. Those comments will be combined in a final evaluation with no names. Should the need arise the document cannot be held confidential, giving the person making the comments an opportunity to explain their comments. Phone calls will not be used, information must be written. The employee would receive his/her PACE and PDQ at the same time as the evaluation. This would base the evaluation on current information and not old assumptions. This would ensure that file information would be accurate and up to date.
Another suggestion was for using only anonymous comments but that would mean that the information would not be used in personnel files.
Comment requests cannot be mandatory.
Another suggestion was to have Employee Development house the files. This was not a popular option.
A comment was made that people need to be heard or morale is down.
The OCI committee plans to reach a conclusion by the Fall Faculty and Staff meeting.
VI. Building concerns
A. Celestial cart
The cart would need power and fresh water (either plumbed in or from a custodial water closet). This would be a cost to the Library. Celestial Seasonings also wanted to sell food as it receives substantial income from food. They would like to be located inside the East door. They also requested a cafe type space with tables and chairs. The Library would only agree to the sales of coffee, tea and container drinks. Only reusable closed containers are permitted in the Libraries. The Library does not have the space for tables and chairs.
Action: Scott will contact Engineering and get information on the agreement they have with Celestial Seasonings (since they have a cart in Engineering).
B. Staff Lounge
1. Thanks to Dan Davidson for his efforts to get the new hot water heater for the West side of Norlin.
2. Colorado Shakespeare Festival posters have been given to Deborah Fink for framing.
3. The new, larger bulletin board is here. After it is installed in the lounge, the LAB will put up book jackets from new books.
4. Is new furniture a possibility? LAB will get more information on new furniture for the lounge.
Action: Barbara will get options and estimates on new couches, chairs, end tables and lamps.
C. Welcome Banner
Dan Davidson is checking into the possibility of having I-bolts installed on the pillers where the banner is hung. So far the banner has been hung by a rope on the pillers.
Action: Scott will follow up and have Dan schedule Facilities Management to have the banner put up by Fall.
VII. Other
A. Good-bye and good luck to Barbara Greenman.B. Barbara McMynn will be secretary for the July meetings
C. Has faculty discussed replacing Barbara on the committee? They will be meeting in August to discuss her replacement.
Action: Suzanne Genz will contact Carol Krissman to ask about Barbara's replacement.
D. Carol Jacobson will keep the archives until a new secretary/archivist is selected.
