ACCCEA MINUTES
May 11, 04
The meeting was called to order by Judy Green, President, at
12 noon.
Sixteen classified employees were present.
MINUTES
Tom Nations approved the minutes of April 13; Anita seconded it
with recommended changes.
BY-LAW CHANGE
Tobin presented to the Council the following changes to the by-laws:
"The Constitution and By-laws Committee of the Classified
Association proposes a change to the Classified Constitution/By-laws.
The purpose of the change is to allow Classified Committee member
appointments to be made in time for committee members to begin
service at the start of the Academic year (September 1) same as
the other employee association members. The proposed change falls
under Article VII Committees, line 3 of our Constitution/By-laws.
We propose that the current language:
3. Solicitation of volunteers shall take place during the month
of October be changed to read:
3. Solicitation of volunteers shall take place during the month
of July, and
appointments will be made by the President-elect in August."
A discussion followed to move to the next step of voting. Before
the voting here was a consensus that a "What if" clause
be included to eliminate a lame duck President from controlling
the new appointments. The following statement was agreed upon,
"In the event the Association is without a president-elect
the existing members will continue to serve until such time as
we have a new president-elect."
CANDIDATE FORUM
Five to six candidates were at the forum. Consensus of those who
attended said it was a very good forum. Good thoughts were brought
out and answered. Jeffery Richards seemed to be the favored candidate.
Judy Doyen asked, "What was their background?" Were
there any questions relating to their backgrounds? Judy indicated
that when you read the Board input that it was different than
what the Austin American Statesman reported. Expanding the Boards
position in the community was discussed at the Forum. Barbara
Mink will be the new President. Each candidate was asked what
they would do if something happened and they had to leave the
position, would they hold on or resign. All indicated they would
resign.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Tom Nations reported that the 3-yr plan guarantees 3.5 raise for
FY05. Tom indicated that if anything happened to our accreditation
it would definitely hurt the College. Get Steve's comments about
the board and SACS from Judy and Tobin.
COMPENSATION SOFTWARE PACKAGE
Tobin reported no headway with input on a new compensation system.
He tried to meet with Ben, but had no luck. Ben encouraged us
to look for other compensation systems. Tom Nations said that
Vicki was very supportive and came up with a compensation review.
Tobin reported that Ben is very much in favor of making changes
to our current compensation system. Judy recommended sending a
copy of the listserv of comments to the Board. ???
A suggestion was made to develop a history of salary compensation
for classified employees.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Judy Doyen reported that the multi-year plan has been lifted.
Anyone can work with their supervisor to bank as many hours as
