A. Roll Call – Sign attendance sheet
B. Motion to approve agenda (Zack/Wahl) approved by consent.
MRA Market Study: Meridith Drzakowski provided information about the market study being
conducted by MRA, a regional firm hired by UW-Stout. The study will gather salary data for
higher education and similar markets for current OSER classified titles and unclassified titles that
do not have a CUPA code. It is likely that not all titles will have comparable data available. The
final report is expected in May and will be distributed to campus.

friendly amendments to change item III.C. to “Topics discussed included” and a spelling
correction in item IV.A.
New Business
A. Meeting with Regent Farrow: Wahl and Zack, and other campus governance
representatives, met with Regent Farrow on March 28. Regent Farrow has a long
history in governmental positions, and looks forward to working with new UW-System
President Ray Cross. It was a very positive meeting.
Old Business
A. Classified Governance Workshop: Additional information about the workshop was sent
to CADC members this morning; Wahl, Zack and Simons plan to attend.
B. Classified Performance Review Form: Wahl and McCann met with Deb Gehrke to
discuss three options for the revision of the classified performance review form:
pursue a web-based format with other UW schools, but this will take some time and will
be costly to implement; pursue a web-based format with other schools, but continue to
revise the current form to use in the meantime; or, complete the revision to the form
and not pursue a web-based format. All agreed that the current form needs to be
revised and ready for 2014 reviews.
C. CADC Membership and Restructuring: The Chancellor has approved the request to
increase membership to 15. The revised Committee Establishment Form was
distributed. The request for restructuring is on hold and will be revisited after the new
Chancellor is hired.
D. Nominations and Election: The nomination and election process timeline was
determined. Emails will be sent to all classified staff prior to the nomination and
election surveys. Six representatives from ASLS and one at-large representative will be
elected.
Resume and Interviewing Workshops: Wahl met with Cally Henderson to discuss planning of
these workshops. It was suggested that the workshops could be break-out sessions scheduled
for classified professional development day in the fall, and during professional development
week in January. Zack recommended Tim Pflieger of Team Leadership Center as a possible
VII.

pricing and availability will be requested, and discussion will continue at the next meeting.
