Old Business

 

          Computer access was discussed.  Kiosks are being installed all around campus.  There is a printer available in the Custodial office.  The Grounds crew would like a computer in their shop.  Larry Beck will look into it. Any other issues involving computer access will be dealt with as they occur.

          A meeting regarding the Corrective Process is scheduled for Friday, March 3.

 

New Business

 

          Discussed the re-shuffling of positions while the University Center is shut down.  Larry will write up an explanation of the moves and temporary assignments and send it to Local 584.

          Alice brought up a few issues from the Custodians:

1.       The quality of the dust mops is not very good.  Bob will check into this.

2.       Alice asked Mike Z. about the floor wax Residential Living is using.  It is a little more expensive, but lasts longer and dries quicker.  Alice will work with Mike on this issue.

3.       There should be better communication if a supervisor will not be in on a particular day.  The next person in line needs to be notified.

          Vicki announced that a 50% Financial Specialist 4 position in Facility Services has been filled. 

          Janelle announced that a University Services Associate 2 position in International Programs has been filled.

          Jerry Naczek announced that Rollie Juhnke will be doing a retirement session on March 22 at 7:00 p.m.  The session is sponsored by Local 584.

 

Meeting adjourned at 3:00 p.m.
