Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 2:00 p.m.
Approval of
Minutes
-There was discussion about whether council meeting minutes should be a part of
the regular meeting minutes or should be an attachment, a brief synopsis or
possibly put on the PSLT website with a link. It was voted that the representatives
from the council committees will give a verbal synopsis of the meeting and if a
discussion ensues then the note taker for that particular PSLT meeting will take
notes on that discussion for our minutes.
-The September 10, 2012, regular meeting minutes were approved at 2:22pm.
PSLT Chair
Report
-Donna began the meeting with a discussion about the flyer for the Professional
Staff Fall Forum. It was suggested that the titles be removed for Amy Bosley &
Michelle Sever since none of the other speakers’ titles were listed, make bullets for
content and insert a space between the names. Donna said she would make the
changes.
-Amy Bosley & Mike Bosley okayed the forum agenda and Dr. Stone is out of
town so Donna is waiting for his approval. Mike Bosley indicated that he only
needed 5 minutes for his portion and that he was getting the students prepared for
the campus tours.
-Flyer will be sent out via email and will also be put into The Grove.
-The starting time will be changed to 8:00 for refreshments/networking and the
program will begin at 8:30.
-Isabel & Jeff volunteered to be there early to help with check in and to make sure
the room is set up.
-Liz asked if Debi Jakubcin would be there to discuss Wellness. Donna will check
with Debi and will put her in the time frame for the Council reports if she is
available.
-The food and room set up will be for 90 people. It was asked what happens if we
get more than 90 that show up. The consensus was that it will be okay, that
typically we don’t have more than 90 people to show.
-Donna will talk to Mike Bosley about where to put the sign-in sheet and she will
remind people to wear name tags.
-Donna advised that we have a total budget of $3500 for food for the combined
events
Professional Development Day
-No dates are good for November and December is bad for Building 8. Jeff
suggested HSB-105. Donna will check into that.
-Donna stated that she wants the event to be well planned and well thought out, not
just thrown together.
-It was suggested to have the Professional Development Day in January and to
combine the spring forum & the luncheon together and have those events in March
or April. Either the 3rd or 4th week of the month for both events.
-Both events should deplete our budget due to the planned expenses for breakfast
and lunch
PDP Redesign
Team
-The meetings are coming to a close.
-A draft of the principles and redesign have been put into place.
-Will now be remarketed as the official evaluation tool.
-We should continue with the current PDP process until further notice.
-Some concerns were that the objectives are in addition to your current work.
-Donna brought up that improvement should be used carefully in the PDP so as not
to confuse with a PIP.
-Competencies should be a part of the PDP process.
-Liz asked if we could comment or critique our supervisors as part of the process.
She feels it would be a good communication piece. Jeff stated that this was not
brought up in the process. The need for training was brought up and the redesign
team is aware that there is a need. The focus was that the PDP has to be an
evaluative tool.
-Julie shared that she had heard that objectives weren’t going to be accepted that
had to be continued into the next year. Donna stated that Amy & Michelle will be
at the forum and that Julie should refer any questions or concerns to Amy.
-PDP will be electronically monitored now so all will complete it.
Dispute
Resolution
Design Team
-Discussed what principles should be included.
-Gathering information about what the career staff grievance procedure currently is
about.

-Will meet every two weeks.

listed on The Grove.
-Liz read the 6 principles that were put forward.
