Agenda Development
Donna Manno is preparing a flyer to distribute about the April 7 training and cart decorating
parade. The event is still evolving. The staff development training is mandatory and the topic is
team building. Two sessions will be presented by Dr. Jeff Marsee, to accommodate all classified
employees. The session will probably be scheduled from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1:00-4:00 p.m.
There will be an afternoon barbecue. Approximately 20 electric carts will be available for teams
or divisions to decorate, and undecorate, at the end of the day. Teams will need to select a theme,
plan and gather materials prior to the event. Only about one hour will be allocated to the cart
decoration.
A discussion ensued about some of the prior year encumbrances that rolled forward at the 200405 closing. This affects the ability to pay invoices since the “budget switch” is activated. Janice
and Hiep are communicating with Denise of the Datatel staff. Tomorrow morning Rocky and
some of his staff are meeting with some of the Fiscal Services staff to look at solutions.
Delores is recovering well. Her return date is tentatively March 6.
