Old Business-Bob Simmons

Potential UM System Capital Bond Issue
Handout “UMKC Capital Project Summary”
Bob updates the committee on the three projects that will be presented to the Board of
Curators to be constructed with the potential UM System bond money. The projects
selected meet the criteria of the Strategic Plan for the university. These projects are:
 Miller Nichols Library Interactive Learning Addition
 University Center Renovation-Student Success Center
 Oak Street Parking Structure Replacement
Bob also presents “UMKC Capital Projects Bond Issue” narrative which explains each of
these projects in detail.
The majority of the committee is in agreement with these being the correct projects to be
proposed to the Board of Curators. Bob will also be presenting the proposed projects to
the Faculty Senate who will also vote on their endorsement of the projects.
The largest concern of the FAC is how the payment of the bond will affect each unit
under the UMKC Budget Model.


The committee was sent a copy of the revised form for the Flarsheim Campus
Beautification Fund Request via email prior to today’s meeting. The form is approved
and it will now be distributed to the Direct Reports and Deans and posted on the CFM,
Masterplan and FAC website.
