Business Items Council Members CEAP Revised By-laws * Lee Lee reviewed proposed changes to the by-laws. The council discussed the addition of the Academic Action Appeals committee and the PERC. The council elected to not add the PERC as a standing committee of the by-laws; instead, the PERC will continue as a sub-committee of the PEC. The council moved and seconded the revised by-laws for presentation to the college. A discussion took place. The council considered whether a change should be made to remove the college mission statement from within the bylaws. Based on governance, the council agreed to propose the removal of the mission statement from the by-laws to the college. The council also approved language that allows for minor and factual updating of the by-laws by a unanimous vote of the Leadership Council. Without a unanimous vote, minor factual revisions would require approval of the college-at-large. The council approved additional these additional edits which Lee will send to the college. College Website Lee The departments are interested in doing a face lift to their website. Lee will coordinate a group meeting so that there is consistency. The face lift will include new photos and new page banners, and establishing consistency in hierarchy. Lee will contact web services to schedule.

Cross college applications were noted. 3) Administrative Operations – The college has need for database software programming and support needs for functional support and reporting of Banner and integration of data across departments.
