We began the meeting at 8:00 am.
1. FY06-08 Capital Expenditure Budgets and Bond Fund Spending.
Dan Wilson presented the requests for the use of tax-exempt bond funds
from the various programs for additions to FY06 and new requests for
FY07 and FY08. The Council approved all requests, subject to review
of the individual items during the discussion of the FY07 indirect
cost budget, which will occur in January. If all known requests for
FY07 and FY08 are spent, we will still have approximately $1.8 M bond
funds remaining.
2. Indirect Budget Review.
We continued the discussion of various elements of the NCAR, UOP, EO
and UCAR indirect costs. This month we reviewed the indirect costs
and trends of the various Finance and Administration functions.
3. Master Space Plan.
Marion Hammond led a discussion of the UCAR Master Space Plan. There
are only a few uncertainties, and these will be resolved by NCAR and
UOP management before February. The Council approved the plan,
subject to resolution of these uncertainties.
4. National Science Board Meeting in February.
Peter Backlund led the discussion of the NCAR part of the agenda for
the visit of the National Science Board on February 9, 2006. Because
of the short time available (one morning only), the NCAR presentations
cannot include all of the activities going on at NCAR. Instead, we
will highlight a few activities that indicate the contributions of
NCAR as a national center and those that have significant university
involvement. We will have a dry run of all the presentations,
including Rick’s and Tim’s, at the January 20th meeting of the
President’s Council; this dry run will take about 3 hours.
5. Preparation for February Board Meeting.
We went over a draft agenda for the February 8th UCAR Board of
Trustees Meeting. Because of the short meeting, we will have
discussions around major issues and opportunities rather than the
usual highlights talks.
We adjourned at 1:00 pm.
