   1. 3-50-205 Travel Authorization - Bill Vertrees
      Bill Vertrees gave a brief summary of all of the travel procedures submitted for review. Wendy Bohrson asked if the authorization form needs to be filled out if folks are paying personally when traveling for university business. The answer is yes.

   7. 3-50-255 Motor Pool Procedures - Bill Vertrees
      Wendy asked if there was any way to get the motor pool process on line? In the past, there have been several issues with reservations and specific details not being available at the time of check out. Some departments now must charge their students for travel when it deals with programmatic needs, so having information available on line would be very helpful. Discussions will continue on this issue.

      No issues were raised with this procedure.

5. Departmental Policies/Procedures Reviewed

6. Randy Ryan - Washington State Combined Fund Drive

   Jim introduced Randy Ryan. Randy gave some background on the Washington State Combined Fund Drive. He shared a summary of what CWU has done the past several years.

Other Campus Updates

President Gaudino - We are preparing for the next legislative session. State financial woes will continue for at least another biennium. Projections are currently at a 3 billion dollar shortfall in the coming biennium. Ann Anderson has been convening the legislative officers of the six state universities to try and develop a unified plan/message. Governor Gregoire has organized a group called the Governor's Blue Ribbon Task Force on Higher Education Funding. They will be meeting regularly to discuss funding for higher education. Jim will be meeting with some of the membership of this group to make sure they understand the obstacles that higher education is facing and tell CWU's story.

Jim commended Ken Baxter and Steve Rittereiser for organizing a first ever Community Day event that coincides with our first football game. Many activities are planned for the day. For a complete list of the day's events, visit:www.dailyrecordnews.com/communityday
