Proceedings

 

Chairman Mills called the meeting to order at 3 p.m.

 

Dr. Cho moved to approve the agenda of January 28, 2004, as distributed.  Dr. Ballal seconded.  Motion PASSED.

 

Motion to approve the minutes of November 5, 2003, was made by Mr. Dickson and seconded by Dr. McGee.  Minutes were APPROVED as distributed.

 

A motion to approve the Constitution of the “Society of Human Resource Management” at Tech was made by Dr. Cho and seconded by Mr. Mancil Johnson.  The Constitution was PASSED.

 

Motion to approve the recommendations from Buildings and Grounds Committee was made by Ms. Lee and seconded by Mr. Delgado.  Recommendations are as follows:  

 

Create arboretum or memory garden in honor of Dr. Robert Bode at the south end of Henderson Hall.  The area would include two benches, the planting of a small tree, the removal of the old hedge, and the addition of new hedge at a different location.  The Buildings and Grounds Committee unanimously approved contingent upon funding from outside sources.

 

Place either benches or a picnic table with concrete bases under the trees at the northeast end of Sherlock Park.  The committee approved with the condition that Facilities personnel approve specifications and that funding come from outside sources via the Electric Power Center.

 

Place “Slow-Children at Play” signs and more clear designations of faculty/staff parking in the lot behind Matthews/Daniel Hall.

 

Change two faculty/staff parking spaces on 9th Street at the north end of the University Services Building to 15-minute 

parking to allow spaces for visitors or the university community conducting business at University Police, Printing Services, or Telecommunications.

 

Re-designate one handicap parking space on “A” Street near Pennebaker Hall.  A handicap space was inadvertently lost when the street was repaved.

 

Eliminate the loading/unloading spaces on the Quadrangle.  It was reported that the City of Cookeville has new larger fire trucks that will require additional width to maneuver.  Therefore, if a large vehicle were in one of these spaces, the fire truck might not be able to get through.

 

The recommendations were APPROVED unanimously.

 

Dr. Mills raised a question concerning the use of the coin meters at the rear of the Roaden University Center.  President Bell stated that the meters are no longer in use and will be removed in approximately 30 days.

 

Motion by Dr. Cho, seconded by Dr. Ballal to adjourn.  ADJOURNMENT at 3:12 p.m.
