1
00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:04.890
So my name's Katherine McGinn Hall.
2
00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:06.540
I work in the athletic department
3
00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:08.790
and as Ellen mentioned, I'm the parliamentarian.
4
00:00:08.790 --> 00:00:11.970
So I get to lead the meeting today
5
00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:14.550
and I use she her pronouns,
6
00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:17.970
and feel free to speak up if you think I'm missing anything
7
00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:21.153
or have any questions as we go through.
8
00:00:22.650 --> 00:00:27.650
So I will call this meeting to order, and it is 12:08.
9
00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:31.560
And the first item on the agenda is
10
00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:35.223
to approve the draft minutes from the December 3rd meeting.
11
00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:38.520
Hopefully everybody's had a chance to review those
12
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.440
as Alan circulated them.
13
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.003
And do we have a motion to approve those minutes?
14
00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:49.290
I'll make a motion.
15
00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:50.970
Carrie motioned.
16
00:00:50.970 --> 00:00:52.923
Thank you. And do we have a second?
17
00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:55.523
I'll second it.
18
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:57.483
Thank you Sawyer.
19
00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:01.353
And any discussion around the minutes?
20
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:10.703
Give the people a second in case they need to unmute.
21
00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:18.483
Okay, hearing none and seeing no hands raised,
22
00:01:20.610 --> 00:01:23.460
all in favor of approving the minutes from December 3rd,
23
00:01:23.460 --> 00:01:26.433
please raise your in-person or virtual hand.
24
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:32.670
Alan, just let me know when you're all set.
25
00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:34.560
Looks like it's unanimous.
26
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:35.610
Great.
27
00:01:35.610 --> 00:01:39.670
So the minutes are approved from December 3rd
28
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.860
and now we have the public comment period.
29
00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:47.733
Anybody who is not a member of staff council,
30
00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:52.560
please feel free to speak up
31
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.270
if you have any items you'd like addressed at this time
32
00:01:57.270 --> 00:01:59.679
or you can drop it in the chat too
33
00:01:59.679 --> 00:02:00.993
if that's easier for you.
34
00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:22.140
Not seeing anybody raising a hand
35
00:02:22.140 --> 00:02:23.550
or dropping anything in the chat,
36
00:02:23.550 --> 00:02:25.260
so we'll go to the next item.
37
00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:29.040
But if I missed you, please feel free to speak up
38
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:32.763
or raise your hand or again, drop it in the chat.
39
00:02:33.630 --> 00:02:37.920
I, as parliamentarian, am next on the agenda
40
00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:40.500
with the nominating committee report.
41
00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:44.700
We had our first meeting in early December,
42
00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:46.830
which Alan got scheduled for us
43
00:02:46.830 --> 00:02:49.590
and we went through the timeline
44
00:02:49.590 --> 00:02:54.590
and kind of when we'll be meeting moving forward,
45
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:56.970
I think we've got a great committee
46
00:02:56.970 --> 00:03:00.630
and I'm really looking forward to working with everybody,
47
00:03:00.630 --> 00:03:03.690
and we'll be reaching out to those who are eligible
48
00:03:03.690 --> 00:03:08.470
to serve as president or vice president later in January,
49
00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:15.060
early February and get that process moving.
50
00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:16.470
We'll be having some more meetings.
51
00:03:16.470 --> 00:03:21.470
So I know when I was new to staff council,
52
00:03:22.350 --> 00:03:25.380
I didn't necessarily understand the whole process,
53
00:03:25.380 --> 00:03:27.480
so happy to answer any questions.
54
00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:29.520
I know there's a couple other people on the call
55
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.040
who are part of that committee as well,
56
00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:35.910
so if I missed anything specific
57
00:03:35.910 --> 00:03:37.800
that you think I should be mentioning,
58
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.200
please feel free to speak up as well.
59
00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:42.990
But if anybody has any questions on the nominating committee
60
00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:46.803
in the process, feel free to ask that now as well.
61
00:04:01.193 --> 00:04:02.026
Okay.
62
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.120
And somebody saying something, sorry.
63
00:04:08.370 --> 00:04:09.770
I thought I heard something.
64
00:04:10.980 --> 00:04:13.773
And sorry I wasn't able to attend in person today.
65
00:04:15.030 --> 00:04:17.973
Standing committee updates from the co-chairs.
66
00:04:19.410 --> 00:04:22.653
We can start with PPD.
67
00:04:28.890 --> 00:04:30.693
Happy New Year, everybody!
68
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.843
Let's see, we had a meeting on December 17th.
69
00:04:38.460 --> 00:04:41.220
We are just getting our ducks in a row for the next chat
70
00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:46.220
in March, and finalizing our speaker lineup for that one.
71
00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:52.880
And then we're also working closely with HR on training,
72
00:04:54.780 --> 00:04:56.340
incorporating more training in.
73
00:04:56.340 --> 00:04:58.500
They have ideas, we have ideas.
74
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:01.110
We're trying to bring the ideas together.
75
00:05:01.110 --> 00:05:03.270
I think what's gonna happen is there's gonna be some kind
76
00:05:03.270 --> 00:05:06.090
of a lunch and learn series that HR is gonna be developing.
77
00:05:06.090 --> 00:05:08.760
We're offering input into that process
78
00:05:08.760 --> 00:05:10.770
and then they're going to be helping promote it.
79
00:05:10.770 --> 00:05:12.660
We actually, as a committee,
80
00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:16.050
might be like sponsoring one of those.
81
00:05:16.050 --> 00:05:17.070
It sounds like they're gonna try
82
00:05:17.070 --> 00:05:20.190
and get 'em going on a weekly basis and we're gonna try
83
00:05:20.190 --> 00:05:22.590
and host a few of them a semester to help
84
00:05:22.590 --> 00:05:24.420
with the encouragement and promotion of them
85
00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:27.750
and actually offering input on maybe subjects
86
00:05:27.750 --> 00:05:29.853
or things to focus on.
87
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:35.513
What else?
88
00:05:35.513 --> 00:05:37.823
Yeah, oh, we're trying to come up with the name for it too.
89
00:05:40.306 --> 00:05:44.550
And then on our next committee meeting,
90
00:05:46.590 --> 00:05:49.860
and I guess I could take time now.
91
00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:51.993
I don't know how that works, but one of the things
92
00:05:51.993 --> 00:05:55.860
that we're gonna be looking at is that the PPD is,
93
00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:57.840
it's personal and professional development
94
00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:01.200
and environmental environment,
95
00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:03.630
like AKA our physical work environment.
96
00:06:03.630 --> 00:06:05.220
So we're gonna be taking a look
97
00:06:05.220 --> 00:06:06.630
at our physical work environment
98
00:06:06.630 --> 00:06:08.370
and if there's anything we could do
99
00:06:08.370 --> 00:06:11.460
to make it more comfortable for employees
100
00:06:11.460 --> 00:06:13.350
or easier to be on campus.
101
00:06:13.350 --> 00:06:16.470
So if folks have ideas around that
102
00:06:16.470 --> 00:06:18.840
and things that maybe our committee should be working on
103
00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:22.110
or focusing on, or looking at, please speak up
104
00:06:22.110 --> 00:06:24.480
and let us know,
105
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.123
'cause that's something else we decided to work on.
106
00:06:29.460 --> 00:06:33.378
And then one other thing is that we've been asked
107
00:06:33.378 --> 00:06:36.780
to give feedback on the performance review process.
108
00:06:36.780 --> 00:06:39.480
So I don't know if folks are aware,
109
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:44.480
but HR is revamping the whole process, which is wonderful.
110
00:06:45.670 --> 00:06:47.460
We haven't shared any of the details,
111
00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:50.970
what's happening with that, but I do know in that first step
112
00:06:50.970 --> 00:06:54.663
that this performance review piece, the first step is
113
00:06:56.940 --> 00:07:00.570
that non-union members can have a choice
114
00:07:00.570 --> 00:07:02.610
of getting a performance review or not.
115
00:07:02.610 --> 00:07:04.560
That was just news we just found out at the end of December,
116
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.990
which I thought was interesting.
117
00:07:06.990 --> 00:07:08.160
Anyone who's in a union is going
118
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.050
through the old performance review process,
119
00:07:10.050 --> 00:07:11.580
but during this revamping, I guess,
120
00:07:11.580 --> 00:07:13.740
this is a choice kind of thing right now.
121
00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:15.450
Don't know much more details about that,
122
00:07:15.450 --> 00:07:17.910
but I thought that was interesting.
123
00:07:17.910 --> 00:07:20.160
So we're also looking for,
124
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.310
or to people's feedback on that to provide feedback
125
00:07:23.310 --> 00:07:26.100
to HR on the performance review process.
126
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:28.683
So those are the updates from us.
127
00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:32.724
Thanks JP. Does anybody have any?
128
00:07:32.724 --> 00:07:34.301
Sorry, question.
Oh.
129
00:07:34.301 --> 00:07:35.520
Yeah, I have a question. Sorry.
130
00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:39.664
JP, can you clarify,
131
00:07:39.664 --> 00:07:42.180
how will the input be solicited?
132
00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:45.360
Is it like your committee is being asked
133
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.360
or is there a campus wide kind of request for input?
134
00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:53.820
You know, that's a really good question
135
00:07:53.820 --> 00:07:55.110
because it was just something that kind
136
00:07:55.110 --> 00:07:56.940
of came up at the end of our meeting
137
00:07:56.940 --> 00:07:59.820
and because Jack Dorky from HR comes
138
00:07:59.820 --> 00:08:01.530
and joins our meetings
139
00:08:01.530 --> 00:08:02.910
and he is like, "Oh hey, we're doing this.
140
00:08:02.910 --> 00:08:04.290
Hey, do you all have any feedback?"
141
00:08:04.290 --> 00:08:06.837
And I was like, "Heck yeah."
142
00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:11.790
And so we as a committee, we decided that we would go out
143
00:08:11.790 --> 00:08:12.840
and think about it and try
144
00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:14.970
and get feedback on our own to share with them.
145
00:08:14.970 --> 00:08:16.770
So I think it's, I don't know
146
00:08:16.770 --> 00:08:19.800
that there's anything structured going on campus wide yet,
147
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.630
or we can look into that for sure,
148
00:08:21.630 --> 00:08:23.163
but as a starting point,
149
00:08:24.330 --> 00:08:25.470
and I do know that they're already
150
00:08:25.470 --> 00:08:27.060
in the process of doing it.
151
00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:29.430
So yeah, I don't know how structured it is
152
00:08:29.430 --> 00:08:31.500
or, yeah, sorry I don't have more detail.
153
00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:32.853
Okay. Thanks.
154
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.767
JP. Any other feedback or questions for PPD?
155
00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:50.210
As I know that was a lot, but all great information
156
00:08:51.300 --> 00:08:54.993
and thanks for all your work leading that charge.
157
00:08:56.070 --> 00:09:01.070
I think asking for feedback on the review process is great.
158
00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:06.600
I know it's gone through a lot of reiterations
159
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:11.580
while I've been here over my 19 years
160
00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:14.610
and I know the goal is always
161
00:09:14.610 --> 00:09:15.660
to make it a little smoother,
162
00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:18.870
but sometimes it gets a little trickier too.
163
00:09:18.870 --> 00:09:21.300
So I think that's great.
164
00:09:21.300 --> 00:09:25.350
And I don't know how the union piece works
165
00:09:25.350 --> 00:09:29.070
into it in terms of what it looks like,
166
00:09:29.070 --> 00:09:32.223
especially as those negotiations go on, so.
167
00:09:33.390 --> 00:09:35.520
I do know the one piece that tying in
168
00:09:35.520 --> 00:09:37.650
with the training and development piece that we're trying
169
00:09:37.650 --> 00:09:41.580
to promote is that one of the things that we suggested
170
00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:44.940
and found out that HR is looking into is that now
171
00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:46.680
with the training and development, there's a record,
172
00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:49.080
a transcript that's being kept for any employee who does it.
173
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.070
And they're gonna try
174
00:09:50.070 --> 00:09:53.130
and tie that record into the performance evaluation piece.
175
00:09:53.130 --> 00:09:55.860
So when a supervisor goes in at the end of the year,
176
00:09:55.860 --> 00:09:58.087
they'll have right at their fingertips like,
177
00:09:58.087 --> 00:10:01.260
"Oh look, this employee participated
178
00:10:01.260 --> 00:10:04.230
in all these different aspects of,
179
00:10:04.230 --> 00:10:06.390
or different kind of professional developments."
180
00:10:06.390 --> 00:10:07.440
So I thought that was good to hear
181
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.230
that they were on track to be different from that as well.
182
00:10:10.230 --> 00:10:11.130
Yeah.
183
00:10:11.130 --> 00:10:13.710
Yes. Cindy, I see your hand up.
184
00:10:13.710 --> 00:10:15.480
Thanks. Excuse me.
185
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:17.620
JP, I might have misunderstood
186
00:10:18.750 --> 00:10:20.250
or misheard it, but did Jack say
187
00:10:20.250 --> 00:10:23.190
that the portal is already open,
188
00:10:23.190 --> 00:10:25.650
the performance regroup portal's open?
189
00:10:25.650 --> 00:10:26.850
Because I tried to get in the other day
190
00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:28.683
and I couldn't, but.
191
00:10:30.150 --> 00:10:32.450
I think what I heard him say in the meeting,
192
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:35.160
it wasn't open yet.
193
00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:36.660
I didn't hear that it was open.
194
00:10:36.660 --> 00:10:39.600
I heard it that it was gonna be open in early January,
195
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.490
but I didn't hear a date.
196
00:10:41.490 --> 00:10:44.220
Okay, great. Thank you.
197
00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:45.053
Yeah.
198
00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:49.570
Anyone else from PPD wanna chime in?
199
00:10:49.570 --> 00:10:51.060
I see there are a lot of us here,
200
00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:52.380
if anyone else, have I missed anything
201
00:10:52.380 --> 00:10:53.250
from that conversation?
202
00:10:53.250 --> 00:10:54.300
'Cause that is a lot.
203
00:11:08.290 --> 00:11:10.170
That's great. Thanks so much, JP.
204
00:11:10.170 --> 00:11:11.910
And if anybody has any questions,
205
00:11:11.910 --> 00:11:15.570
I know JP is usually pretty accessible
206
00:11:15.570 --> 00:11:19.470
in terms of response time and all of that.
207
00:11:19.470 --> 00:11:21.720
So I'm just gonna say feel free
208
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.180
to reach out if you have questions about that process,
209
00:11:24.180 --> 00:11:27.753
but JP, you can tell me to be quiet too.
210
00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:30.930
Spot on to me or Nicole.
211
00:11:30.930 --> 00:11:31.860
Thank you. Yes.
212
00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:34.320
Sorry, I was trying to remember who the other chair was.
213
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:35.463
I apologize, Nicole.
214
00:11:37.140 --> 00:11:41.913
And so we'll go to social committee please.
215
00:11:42.930 --> 00:11:44.700
Rain, are you doing that one in the room?
216
00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:45.930
I think so, 'cause Susan's not here right now.
217
00:11:45.930 --> 00:11:47.103
Right.
Okay.
218
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.270
Can everybody hear me? All right.
219
00:11:51.270 --> 00:11:53.880
So as you know, we had a little thing,
220
00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:55.470
called the Holiday Bazaar,
221
00:11:55.470 --> 00:11:59.310
which was great thanks to Alan, put in a ton of work
222
00:11:59.310 --> 00:12:01.380
and thanks to everybody else who we showed up
223
00:12:01.380 --> 00:12:04.143
to volunteer in all the different ways.
224
00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:08.973
It was fun to see everybody and I think it was successful.
225
00:12:12.210 --> 00:12:16.650
I don't have the amounts we raised, but we did a donation.
226
00:12:16.650 --> 00:12:19.413
There's over a thousand people in attendance.
227
00:12:21.900 --> 00:12:25.080
Five large tubs of food were donated
228
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.950
and we donated the proceeds, some of the proceeds
229
00:12:28.950 --> 00:12:30.393
to the rally Kat covered.
230
00:12:32.280 --> 00:12:35.970
And then there's, the raffle tickets is another little pile
231
00:12:35.970 --> 00:12:40.080
of money and I believe that those will go back
232
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:41.310
to the committee, but we're gonna vote
233
00:12:41.310 --> 00:12:42.450
on that in our next meeting.
234
00:12:42.450 --> 00:12:45.453
So it's next turnout.
235
00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:51.900
Oh you probably saw Alan's notice
236
00:12:51.900 --> 00:12:54.903
about Valentine's day's chocolate sales.
237
00:12:56.100 --> 00:13:00.120
So those are open. And then we have upcoming events.
238
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.580
I think we're gonna talk about the door decorating
239
00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:07.580
in our next meeting and to talk about the summer,
240
00:13:07.890 --> 00:13:11.400
you know, the things that are coming next in addition
241
00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:12.900
to those tickets.
242
00:13:12.900 --> 00:13:14.520
And Katherine,
243
00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:17.130
I think all the sports tickets events have happened
244
00:13:17.130 --> 00:13:21.210
or are there, anyway, so there's sports tickets
245
00:13:21.210 --> 00:13:24.510
that are currently available now if there's still any left.
246
00:13:24.510 --> 00:13:27.720
And then the next event would be ice skating
247
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.513
on the 28th of March, I believe.
248
00:13:31.530 --> 00:13:34.710
And so we'll send out reminders when that gets closer.
249
00:13:34.710 --> 00:13:37.170
But otherwise I think it's, you know,
250
00:13:37.170 --> 00:13:41.940
we're chugging through our annual list and, oh,
251
00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:45.190
Ellen also said there's a few little mermaid tickets left
252
00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:51.259
and so get him on camp.
253
00:13:51.660 --> 00:13:52.920
Are there any questions about anything
254
00:13:52.920 --> 00:13:56.490
that's happened in the past or any upcoming events?
255
00:13:56.490 --> 00:13:59.340
Because I feel like we say the same things every meeting.
256
00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:01.350
It's like, yep, that's still upcoming,
257
00:14:01.350 --> 00:14:05.100
but you know, there's not a lot
258
00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:07.350
that's changed the last time we gave an update,
259
00:14:07.350 --> 00:14:09.843
except for the results of the Bazaar.
260
00:14:17.160 --> 00:14:20.550
If not, I think that's the update.
261
00:14:20.550 --> 00:14:23.310
Yeah, so there are two, I was just checking,
262
00:14:23.310 --> 00:14:26.373
there's two athletic events still.
263
00:14:27.870 --> 00:14:30.910
One is women's basketball
264
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:34.410
against Binghamton on January 30th
265
00:14:34.410 --> 00:14:38.403
and then February 20th men's basketball against Bryant.
266
00:14:39.390 --> 00:14:44.390
And we also typically promote the women's hockey game.
267
00:14:49.770 --> 00:14:52.410
But everybody gets discounted tickets for that one.
268
00:14:52.410 --> 00:14:56.050
So that's why that's not listed as a specific link
269
00:14:57.090 --> 00:14:59.460
for that in staff line.
270
00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:01.500
But Alan's been been including that.
271
00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:04.410
And thank you to Alan too for all
272
00:15:04.410 --> 00:15:07.980
of the work on the Bazaar
273
00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:10.470
'cause I know it's not just a committee
274
00:15:10.470 --> 00:15:11.550
that does a lot of that.
275
00:15:11.550 --> 00:15:13.533
So Levi, I see your hand up.
276
00:15:18.130 --> 00:15:19.200
Hey everybody.
277
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:20.100
I also just wanted
278
00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:21.690
to share if we're talking about different games,
279
00:15:21.690 --> 00:15:24.180
there's also an employee appreciation game.
280
00:15:24.180 --> 00:15:26.670
The women's hockey team First Yukon
281
00:15:26.670 --> 00:15:29.820
on January 24th is free to employees.
282
00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:32.523
So if you show your employee ID,
283
00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:37.230
that's free for you to go to.
284
00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:38.520
Yeah, and then there's a discount
285
00:15:38.520 --> 00:15:40.833
for guest tickets at the group rate.
286
00:15:43.380 --> 00:15:45.030
Thanks Liv.
287
00:15:45.030 --> 00:15:45.960
I knew those were happening
288
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.050
but I didn't have all the dates, so I appreciate that.
289
00:15:49.050 --> 00:15:50.910
Yeah, no problem.
290
00:15:50.910 --> 00:15:52.290
And I think you're trying
291
00:15:52.290 --> 00:15:55.680
to work on those for every sport
292
00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:58.380
to have one game identified, correct?
293
00:15:58.380 --> 00:15:59.340
Yes, that's correct.
294
00:15:59.340 --> 00:16:00.173
Okay.
Yep.
295
00:16:00.173 --> 00:16:01.440
We're still in the process of trying
296
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.140
to figure out who has access to,
297
00:16:04.140 --> 00:16:09.140
and is editing the events calendar of those games.
298
00:16:09.450 --> 00:16:14.450
Maybe we can talk offline if you know who that is.
299
00:16:14.673 --> 00:16:15.600
Yep.
But we're hoping
300
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.290
to use those links and re-link to the events page.
301
00:16:19.290 --> 00:16:22.440
Yep. I can touch base with, I'll make a note of it.
302
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.273
Great, thanks.
No problem.
303
00:16:27.300 --> 00:16:29.490
Sorry. Anything else?
304
00:16:29.490 --> 00:16:32.610
Any other questions for Maureen or feedback
305
00:16:32.610 --> 00:16:34.443
on anything from anybody?
306
00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:47.103
All right, community engagement.
307
00:16:49.380 --> 00:16:50.343
Hello.
308
00:16:52.110 --> 00:16:57.110
So community engagement met on Wednesday December 18th,
309
00:16:57.270 --> 00:17:02.270
last, and most of that discussion,
310
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:08.000
that meeting was covering a paid volunteer time proposal
311
00:17:10.830 --> 00:17:14.553
that we are going to discuss more as a group.
312
00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:21.477
And it was a fairly short meeting as we did.
313
00:17:22.787 --> 00:17:24.360
We did break quorum,
314
00:17:24.360 --> 00:17:29.360
but we also discussed some upcoming events,
315
00:17:29.460 --> 00:17:31.560
one of which did happen today.
316
00:17:31.560 --> 00:17:35.163
We have our first weekly Tuesday walk.
317
00:17:36.690 --> 00:17:38.910
They did go out today at 12:15.
318
00:17:38.910 --> 00:17:43.140
They'll always be at 12:15 from the Howl Library steps
319
00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:44.433
for about a half an hour.
320
00:17:45.390 --> 00:17:49.530
So continuous reliable source
321
00:17:49.530 --> 00:17:52.890
of getting away from desks, hopefully, we hope,
322
00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:54.240
with rotating walk leaders.
323
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:59.240
And then there will also be a vision board craft event
324
00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:04.020
that is scheduled for January 29th,
325
00:18:04.020 --> 00:18:05.673
and that's a Wednesday.
326
00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:14.913
Any questions?
327
00:18:26.371 --> 00:18:30.944
That's from me for now.
328
00:18:30.944 --> 00:18:32.723
Katherine, I think you're muted.
329
00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:36.300
Thank you Cindy.
330
00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:38.970
Sorry, I muted 'cause there were doors closing around me
331
00:18:38.970 --> 00:18:40.773
and trying not to interrupt.
332
00:18:42.090 --> 00:18:45.270
So thanks Chelsea for that update,
333
00:18:45.270 --> 00:18:47.160
and I was excited to see
334
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.140
that the walks are gonna be consistent
335
00:18:49.140 --> 00:18:50.610
'cause I know sometimes it's like,
336
00:18:50.610 --> 00:18:52.293
oh that's when that's happening.
337
00:18:53.340 --> 00:18:56.250
And CBB, I know you can't update us on everything
338
00:18:56.250 --> 00:18:57.573
that you're always doing,
339
00:18:58.650 --> 00:19:02.043
but if you have any updates, we'd love to hear from you too.
340
00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:07.560
Hello. Yeah, no, not a whole lot from last time.
341
00:19:07.560 --> 00:19:11.160
We do have our letter that has been sent
342
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.100
and received, so that's a good thing.
343
00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:17.880
And then last time we met, right before break,
344
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.210
we just lined out what our next goals are
345
00:19:21.210 --> 00:19:22.260
and we haven't met since,
346
00:19:22.260 --> 00:19:24.690
so we haven't really gotten more into that.
347
00:19:24.690 --> 00:19:27.450
But we know where we're headed in the early parts
348
00:19:27.450 --> 00:19:29.310
of this coming year.
349
00:19:29.310 --> 00:19:30.990
And Jon is having a fire alarm right now,
350
00:19:30.990 --> 00:19:32.240
so he you can't chime in.
351
00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:33.953
Lucky Jon.
352
00:19:34.902 --> 00:19:36.719
Yeah sorry about that everybody.
353
00:19:36.719 --> 00:19:38.436
Yeah. (laughs)
354
00:19:38.436 --> 00:19:40.023
So that's all we got.
355
00:19:42.300 --> 00:19:44.880
Great, and thank you for your work on that
356
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:49.880
for the non-unionized employees and representing that group.
357
00:19:50.397 --> 00:19:54.960
And I'm like all in favor of the no reviews
358
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.350
for the non-represented people,
359
00:19:58.350 --> 00:20:00.603
but that's just my own two cents.
360
00:20:02.130 --> 00:20:06.930
Awesome. Any questions for Meredith?
361
00:20:06.930 --> 00:20:07.773
From anybody?
362
00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:15.153
Okay. Did I miss any standing committees?
363
00:20:22.710 --> 00:20:25.980
So next on the agenda, we have the officer's reports.
364
00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:30.450
And I wasn't in these meetings
365
00:20:30.450 --> 00:20:33.210
so I just kind of read through,
366
00:20:33.210 --> 00:20:35.880
but if people want me to go through
367
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:37.260
and pull out highlights, I can.
368
00:20:37.260 --> 00:20:40.680
But I think we can all kind of review
369
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.160
and then reach out to Jen or Monica if we have any questions
370
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:46.260
on what's on there.
371
00:20:46.260 --> 00:20:50.220
Unless anybody disagrees with that, I'm happy to to do it.
372
00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:53.310
We are ahead of the agenda timeline,
373
00:20:53.310 --> 00:20:57.960
so it's not gonna be extending anybody's day,
374
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:02.960
but just wanna make sure everybody's good with that.
375
00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:04.950
Alan, is there anything specific from you,
376
00:21:04.950 --> 00:21:06.210
being in those meetings
377
00:21:06.210 --> 00:21:10.960
that we should make sure we don't miss when reviewing that?
378
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.563
Yeah, I'm just scanning through.
379
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.300
It's pretty straightforward stuff.
380
00:21:18.300 --> 00:21:19.800
Okay, that's what I thought.
381
00:21:19.800 --> 00:21:22.803
I think outta the ordinary, I know it's always odd,
382
00:21:24.450 --> 00:21:27.180
particularly their report from Jonathan Dan Moore
383
00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:29.610
'cause it says here, the next meeting is December 18th,
384
00:21:29.610 --> 00:21:31.890
and why isn't that meeting on here?
385
00:21:31.890 --> 00:21:33.570
Well it's because this material was sent out
386
00:21:33.570 --> 00:21:36.480
before December 18th and of course, then we want a break.
387
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.350
So his meeting is always kind of off cycle so to speak.
388
00:21:40.350 --> 00:21:42.580
So the timing is kind of weird.
389
00:21:43.530 --> 00:21:46.560
But anyway, no, you read through it,
390
00:21:46.560 --> 00:21:48.510
you got what you need to get out of it.
391
00:21:48.510 --> 00:21:50.430
And I will say that I like
392
00:21:50.430 --> 00:21:53.790
that you've added on the upcoming meetings.
393
00:21:53.790 --> 00:21:56.730
I don't think we've always had that on here
394
00:21:56.730 --> 00:22:00.720
and that way, people know when to kind of get you
395
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:05.220
or Monica or Jen items to touch base on with those groups.
396
00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:06.693
So I think that's great.
397
00:22:07.710 --> 00:22:11.610
And even like the next meeting with Patty being in March,
398
00:22:11.610 --> 00:22:14.190
but people know when that's coming up.
399
00:22:14.190 --> 00:22:16.950
So thank you for that.
400
00:22:16.950 --> 00:22:21.240
Did anybody have anything that they saw on those notes
401
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.060
that they wanted to comment on,
402
00:22:24.060 --> 00:22:26.730
or ask Alan a question about,
403
00:22:26.730 --> 00:22:28.800
since he was the one in those meetings?
404
00:22:28.800 --> 00:22:32.160
Liv, I know you were in the HR meeting in your role
405
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.190
as an HR employee as well,
406
00:22:35.190 --> 00:22:39.063
so if there's anything you wanna make sure people saw.
407
00:22:43.663 --> 00:22:45.450
I don't think so.
408
00:22:45.450 --> 00:22:46.283
I'm gonna be honest,
409
00:22:46.283 --> 00:22:49.050
it was before Christmas break in my mind.
410
00:22:49.050 --> 00:22:52.290
Like I wasn't prepared to maybe speak to it,
411
00:22:52.290 --> 00:22:55.440
but nothing that I can like immediately recall, no.
412
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:56.610
And I'm sorry to put you on the spot.
413
00:22:56.610 --> 00:22:57.778
No, that's all right.
414
00:22:57.778 --> 00:23:00.078
I just know you're in there and I'm not, so,
415
00:23:01.260 --> 00:23:03.390
but totally understand the before
416
00:23:03.390 --> 00:23:05.733
and after break timeframe right now.
417
00:23:07.470 --> 00:23:12.240
And so we'll move on to council member concerns, comments,
418
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.913
anything, any new business people wanna bring up.
419
00:23:30.662 --> 00:23:31.495
Hey folks.
420
00:23:31.495 --> 00:23:33.960
I just put in the chat a follow up piece
421
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:36.900
from a few weeks ago when I shared with you, another hat
422
00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:37.920
that I'm wearing,
423
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:40.863
participating in the lived identity project.
424
00:23:41.760 --> 00:23:45.870
If you remember, there are different aspects.
425
00:23:45.870 --> 00:23:48.390
We're working on collecting feedback on this
426
00:23:48.390 --> 00:23:52.503
and one of them is coming to fruition on January 17th.
427
00:23:53.760 --> 00:23:57.510
We are going to have a focus group.
428
00:23:57.510 --> 00:23:59.610
It's a Friday, January 17th.
429
00:23:59.610 --> 00:24:02.342
We are doing a focus group of faculty and staff
430
00:24:02.342 --> 00:24:07.342
in the morning, and then a focus group of students
431
00:24:07.950 --> 00:24:10.170
in the afternoon.
432
00:24:10.170 --> 00:24:12.090
Anyone who participates in that focus group,
433
00:24:12.090 --> 00:24:14.520
'cause it is taking up a couple of hours, will get fed lunch
434
00:24:14.520 --> 00:24:16.260
and they're also gonna get paid.
435
00:24:16.260 --> 00:24:18.780
So we definitely wanna spread the word out
436
00:24:18.780 --> 00:24:21.480
because we're looking for a diverse group of people,
437
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:22.920
and it's not the kind of thing you can just show up
438
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.250
in the Davis Center and say, "Hey, I'm here to do it."
439
00:24:26.250 --> 00:24:28.470
People have to kind of put their name in the hat
440
00:24:28.470 --> 00:24:29.880
and then from all the names,
441
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.490
we're selecting a diverse group of people
442
00:24:32.490 --> 00:24:34.170
to make sure we've got all areas
443
00:24:34.170 --> 00:24:36.240
of the college covered, so to speak.
444
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.710
So if you're interested, let me know.
445
00:24:40.710 --> 00:24:44.160
I was hoping I was gonna have a flyer that I could share
446
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:45.300
with you all by this meeting,
447
00:24:45.300 --> 00:24:47.670
but it's literally still being worked on.
448
00:24:47.670 --> 00:24:50.370
So as soon as I get that, I will share that out.
449
00:24:50.370 --> 00:24:52.713
Alan, when does the next staff line go out?
450
00:24:54.507 --> 00:24:58.090
It'll probably be either the 16th or the 21st.
451
00:25:01.530 --> 00:25:03.210
Okay. That's gonna be too late.
452
00:25:03.210 --> 00:25:06.600
So we'll get the email
453
00:25:06.600 --> 00:25:09.150
through the email chain for staff council,
454
00:25:09.150 --> 00:25:10.350
'cause we definitely wanna get the word out
455
00:25:10.350 --> 00:25:11.250
to staff members.
456
00:25:11.250 --> 00:25:14.670
And so people that are interested could throw their name
457
00:25:14.670 --> 00:25:15.630
in a hat.
458
00:25:15.630 --> 00:25:19.050
It happens on the 17th, everyone has to throw their names in
459
00:25:19.050 --> 00:25:21.270
by the 14th and on the 15th you'll find out
460
00:25:21.270 --> 00:25:24.060
whether you've been selected to participate in it.
461
00:25:24.060 --> 00:25:25.710
So that's kind of the timeline of it.
462
00:25:25.710 --> 00:25:29.010
So spread the word and look for that email that'll have
463
00:25:29.010 --> 00:25:30.510
that information if you wanna participate
464
00:25:30.510 --> 00:25:33.363
or have folks in your office that might wanna, so thanks.
465
00:25:35.969 --> 00:25:39.653
Thanks JP. Does anybody else have anything?
466
00:25:44.490 --> 00:25:45.570
I just wanted to comment,
467
00:25:45.570 --> 00:25:48.210
I know the last executive board meeting,
468
00:25:48.210 --> 00:25:52.290
Monica talked about our men's soccer team,
469
00:25:52.290 --> 00:25:54.000
winning the national championship
470
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.430
and a parade being planned.
471
00:25:56.430 --> 00:26:00.300
So it got announced yesterday, when the parade is.
472
00:26:00.300 --> 00:26:02.640
So just wanted to make sure people saw that
473
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:05.400
'cause I know working in athletics, I get a lot
474
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:08.310
of those questions, but across campus,
475
00:26:08.310 --> 00:26:09.480
those questions come up too.
476
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:14.220
So the parade is on Sunday, January 26th on Church Street
477
00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:17.850
and it's starting at 1:00 in the afternoon.
478
00:26:17.850 --> 00:26:20.200
So just wanted to put that out there
479
00:26:21.060 --> 00:26:23.910
'cause I know especially the executive board members heard
480
00:26:23.910 --> 00:26:25.410
about that at that meeting
481
00:26:25.410 --> 00:26:27.630
because it was after the championship game.
482
00:26:27.630 --> 00:26:31.350
But make sure everybody is aware just
483
00:26:31.350 --> 00:26:33.540
as we're spreading the good stuff
484
00:26:33.540 --> 00:26:35.763
that's happening around UVM.
485
00:26:38.236 --> 00:26:40.290
And if anybody has any questions on that,
486
00:26:40.290 --> 00:26:43.740
you can reach out to either myself or Krista Baylow.
487
00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:45.630
I might not have the answer, but I can get it for you.
488
00:26:45.630 --> 00:26:49.893
So anything else from anybody?
489
00:26:53.310 --> 00:26:54.630
I have a question, just in general.
490
00:26:54.630 --> 00:26:55.463
Yes.
491
00:26:55.463 --> 00:26:57.540
Regarding the presidential search,
492
00:26:57.540 --> 00:26:58.710
I'm sure it's chugging along,
493
00:26:58.710 --> 00:27:00.480
but are there any timeline updates
494
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.510
or, I mean of course Monica's not here to tell us.
495
00:27:03.510 --> 00:27:05.360
But has anybody heard anything on it?
496
00:27:08.430 --> 00:27:11.910
Heidi, not from whatever her last report was.
497
00:27:11.910 --> 00:27:13.750
I have nothing to update on that.
498
00:27:18.073 --> 00:27:20.850
I think we can probably ask her to send an update
499
00:27:20.850 --> 00:27:25.850
after these couple days, working on it.
500
00:27:26.100 --> 00:27:30.273
So I can shoot her an email and ask her to share that.
501
00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:33.580
Thank you. That's a great question, Marie.
502
00:27:40.537 --> 00:27:42.494
Katherine, if I could jump in real quickly.
503
00:27:42.494 --> 00:27:43.393
Of course.
I'm not sure,
504
00:27:43.393 --> 00:27:45.753
how widely this has been dispersed yet.
505
00:27:46.620 --> 00:27:49.500
Happen to see it on LinkedIn and I got an email about it.
506
00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:51.663
But a new CIO has been hired.
507
00:27:52.560 --> 00:27:53.760
I forget the person's name.
508
00:27:53.760 --> 00:27:56.160
Jon, I'm sure you know the person's name,
509
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.880
but they're coming from the Vermont State University system
510
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:02.043
and I believe served in that role there.
511
00:28:03.750 --> 00:28:05.643
So good news on that front.
512
00:28:08.490 --> 00:28:10.620
Dr. Kelly Campbell.
There we go.
513
00:28:10.620 --> 00:28:11.747
It's in the chat.
514
00:28:11.747 --> 00:28:12.780
Yep.
515
00:28:12.780 --> 00:28:14.130
Thank you for that update too, Alan.
516
00:28:14.130 --> 00:28:19.130
I know it's been a while for that vacancy, so thank you.
517
00:28:19.770 --> 00:28:23.100
And hopefully that means good things for Jon
518
00:28:23.100 --> 00:28:24.783
and the entire university.
519
00:28:26.130 --> 00:28:28.173
I know it directly impacts Jon, so.
520
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:31.503
Anything else anybody has?
521
00:28:35.580 --> 00:28:36.413
Okay.
522
00:28:38.220 --> 00:28:39.810
We can adjourn.
523
00:28:39.810 --> 00:28:41.340
We don't need a motion to adjourn, correct?
524
00:28:41.340 --> 00:28:42.540
Nope.
Okay.
525
00:28:42.540 --> 00:28:45.600
We can adjourn the meeting at 12:36.
526
00:28:45.600 --> 00:28:48.555
Thank you everybody for your time and bearing with me.
527
00:28:48.555 --> 00:28:49.890
It's been a while since I were in a meeting,
528
00:28:49.890 --> 00:28:51.725
so I appreciate your patience.
529
00:28:51.725 --> 00:28:52.558
Thank you.
Good job.
530
00:28:52.558 --> 00:28:54.986
Thank you. Great job, Katherine.
531
00:28:54.986 --> 00:28:56.520
