Calculations were a bit challenging but $30,000 has been allocated. Teresa offered to follow up with the APAC Professional Development Committee to get information on their reporting structure for Ed. d. Other committee updates (none) 8) Public Comments/Announcements/Miscellaneous Discussion Ed asked if there were any questions regarding the pay raise announcement. He explained the process for allocation. This year a pool of 2.5% is allocated, however; supervisors and divisions heads have the prerogative to give more or less depending on merit and retention. Supervisors have more authority to allocate raises because performance evaluations are not tied to pay raises. Patti Sims stated that each division also receives an additional 1% of compression equity for pay adjustments. Additional funds have not been allocated by the legislature for the increase; the campus is reallocating funds for the raise. New employees may have a probationary period that impacts when the raise occurs. 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 Union wage negotiations have been resolved. UPI has a 4 year contract; AFSCME may have a three year contract; FOP has a wage reopener and the contract covers a longer period. The new police building will go out for bid in the fall with hopes of beginning to dig in the fall but most likely will be spring 2015. It takes about a year to build. Resources will be stretched due to construction of both the police and student union taking place simultaneously. 9) Adjournment a. Motion to adjourn by James. b. Donna seconded the motion. c. Meeting adjourned at 9:50 a.m.
