Executive Summary:

The two basic issues that occupied most of the efforts of the services committee were Parking and Technology.  Although, we started the year passing a shared leave motion that by now is university policy.  Much of the year was spent addressing issues with the current technology use policy and awaiting a parking policy.  The Technology and Parking policies remained unchanged. 

Committee Operating Procedures:

Our operating procedures were to follow “Robert’s Rules of Order” as closely as possible.  Minutes were posted in as timely a fashion as the committee’s secretary schedule would allow.  The next meeting date was always posted on the agenda.  In general we always met on the first official Friday for senate committees.

Motions brought to the Senate floor^*:

Give the motion number, and motion statement as well as the committee vote and senate action on each motion that this committee brought to the Senate body for action.  One paragraph summary of committee work for each motion

Other Significant Deliberation (Non-Motions):

A parking plan was presented to the committee late in the year.  The committee considered the Parking Plan was not ready to be brought to the senate.  The president stated that consultants will be brought in to better address the parking issue.

Ad hoc committees:

We charged Ken Vance to create a new parking committee.

Committee Reflections:

Have the committee chairs meet every month to decide where issue should be directed was a good process.

Committee Recommendations:

Keep the committee informed on current policy before creating new policy.  Many of the proposed policies already exist.

Recommend items for consideration at the governance retreat:
