1.      Minutes of February 25, 1997 were approved as distributed.
2.      Announcements
        a.      Kris Swanson, Leadership Development Coordinator, sent a packet
		of materials regarding the Stude
nt Leadership Awards Program.
		The nomination forms are included on a disk, and can be requested
		from Judy.  Members were encouraged to submit nominees.
        b.      C. Sundin was asked to call M. Udelhofen, Physical Plant, regarding
		the shutoff of natural gas to replace the meter.
3.      Discussion Topics
        a.      A. Thomas met with the Dean to begin drafting a policy for Web
		updates.  Preliminary discussions were that Web pages considered to
		be college-wide pages would be the r
esponsibility of A. Thomas and
		any student help he hired out of college funds.  Suggestions/changes
		for these pages would be submitted to A. Thomas.  It was felt that
		the image of the college for marketing and recruitment purposes
		necessitated a minimal annual update of the college Web pages.  Each
		department or program would be responsible for their own home page
		using their Webmaster(s).  A final policy with a list of Webmasters
		will be submitted at a later date.  Any changes to the W
ebmaster list
		should be submitted to Judy.
        b.      Two departments--Civil and Environmental Engineering and
		Chemistry and Engineering Physics--will be conducting elections for a
		new chair.  A discussion was held on whether or not new program
		coordinators should be elected.  At the current time, the College of EMS
		is the only college paying additional salaries to program coordinators.
		The Dean proposed that the College have a program coordinator for each
		degree program in additi
on to a department chair.  The department chair
		would receive summer session money.  Program coordinators would receive
		release time.    Reactions to this proposal should be communicated to
		the Dean.
        c.      DIN proposals for 1997-98 were distributed and reviewed.  The
		Dean will prepare a prioritized list to be reviewed by the Council.
        d.      Summer session salaries will be discussed at the next meeting.
