We began the meeting at 8:00 am.
1. February Board and Committee Meetings.
We discussed the February Board, Audit and Finance, and Personnel
Committee meetings. Tim will write a memo to the Trustees,
through Rick, describing the new NCAR Program planning process
with a calendar and a description of when the Board will have a
chance to review and comment on the plans. We will send them a
hard copy of the NCAR Preliminary Program Plan for FY05 with their
materials for the February meeting. We will also send them hard
copies of the previous reviews and our responses as well as a
summary showing them the status of our responses. We will review
these at the January President's Council meeting.
2. Compensation Issues.
Delaine Orendorff presented several options for the next salary
increase cycle to deal with budget problems. After discussion, we
agreed to stay with the present policy and practices, which are to
pay people according to their performance and market factors. We
agreed that we needed to ensure consistency across the
organization, i.e. that all divisions and programs should act in a
consistent way with the amounts of salary increases and their
compa-ratio distributions.
3. CG1 Construction Project.
Now that bids have been received and evaluated for the
construction work, Marion Hammond and Dan Wilson presented the
current budget information for this project. The Council approved
the selection of the contractor and proceeding with the project.
4. General Purpose Equipment Requests.
We reviewed the actual purchases in FY04 of equipment using bond
funds; the actual purchases were significantly less than what were
approved and budgeted for, leaving additional funds for purchases
in FY05 and FY06. We approved the FY05 requests and authorized
the FY06 requests for planning purposes. Actual approval of the
FY06 requests will occur as FY06 rates are finalized in March
2005.
We adjourned at 1:30 pm.
