Building Concerns:

West Porch Trash Receptacle--it has been returned to next to the doorway. The Dean communicated our concerns to Jeff Lipton and Alan Nelson of Facilities Management. Both areas look very nice right now following Commencement clean-up, and Jim will send a "thank you." The LAB has concerns, however, about the continuing maintenance of the West and East Porch Entrances and the possible degradation in the near future as bags ofd ripping trash are dragged across the entrances.

West Porch Planters--an independent committee of concerned staff has replanted the planters and organized watering. Thanks to donations of plants and monies there is a little cushion to help maintain these at least until the expected auctioning off of the junipers that should last at least another winter.

Temporary Science Discovery location in Norlin basement offices--no new information since the posting of information in the Cabinet Minutes. Awaiting report from Fire Marshall. Phil deStafano is finding out specifics of what "temporary" means if Science Discovery moves in.

Vacated Journalism Space on 5th floor (available by Fall)--Norlin Scholars program has requested some of this space. Hopefully additional space will be available to Libraries Faculty in these offices.

Deans Meeting Minutes:

The March meeting minutes will be posted on the LAB web page at: http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/internal/lab/minutes.htm.

Anyone with comments about that last meeting should tell an LAB member,post a note in the Johan Suggestion Box in the Lounge or to liblab@colorado.edu.

Colorado Peak Performance (CPP):

The Dean has asked Scott Seaman to post information to Norlin List about how the Libraries' supervisors and other staff should proceed in light of the repeal of CPP by the legislature.

Johan Suggestion boxes:

Electronic email box was empty.

One message requesting the return of the trash receptacle at the West Entrance, and another message thanking us for the replacement of the trash receptacle was received (see above).

Urgent request for Coca-Cola for the Staff Lounge was received. Response: Vending for Boulder Campus is contracted, and the contractor uses Pepsi exclusively. Further information can be obtained at: http://stripe.colodrado.edu/~propman/vendfood.html.

This contract is currently being renegotiated.

LAB Administrative Stuff:

Curt Williams, LSA Chair, has been contacted for a temporary replacement for Lisa Gould while she is on leave. We discussed possibility of a temporary replacement for Naomi Heiser, while she is also on leave but tabled that discussion until the Fall.

Greg Robl asked to be replaced as Secretary for the LAB and Carl Stewart will take this job.

This is the last formal meeting of the LAB until the Fall, unless something special needs attention. Comments submitted to Johan Suggestion boxes (staff lounge and electronic box) will continue to be collected in case staff or faculty have concerns in the meantime.

Respectfully submitted: Carl Stewart
