Members
Present: Darla Bell, Darrell Buffaloe, Scott
Campbell, Steve Chatterton, Darin Dehle, Tony Martin, Ernie Naftzger, Roger
Rankin, Fred Risinger, Joseph Steiner, Dennis Toney, Peter Vik, Maher Wissa
Meeting called to order by Scott Campbell (Chair,
Peter Vik to arrive later).
I. Preliminaries:
A. Announcements: None
B. Minutes of December 17, 2002: Motion by Maher Wissa to
approve; seconded by Darrell Buffaloe; motion carried.
II. Committee Reports
A. (Distribution of meeting agenda by Scott Campbell.) Campbell commented he is trying to make the
meeting agenda effective and in advance.
His plan is to use this monthly meeting for sub-committee reports, and
then will try to get the information out to the sub-committees. He asked the members to let him know if
they have any problem with the process.
He reviewed the format of the agenda and asked if anyone had any
additions.
B. Campbell is working on cover sheets with mission statements
of sub-committees with the committee goals and reports.
C. Progress report: No
action items for today’s meeting.
Campbell noted his plan is to send out by email all the sub-committee
information to the Council members so the Council will have the information in
advance, and then the Council can act on any motions at the monthly
meetings. If the email plan doesn’t
work will go back to issuing paper reports.
D. Facilities
Development: Report by Darin
Dehle. (Dehle distributed minutes of
the sub-committee meeting of 1/14/03.)
No action items for Council today.
He commented he has received 25% of the college / department
information, but will have about 90% once the deans forward the information. He has about 5% of text prepared, 1% of the
drawings and 100% of document format complete.
(He provided a sample of how the two-page per department layout will
look.) It will take some effort due to
the various computer programs, but he will place the information on the ISU web site and try to keep it updated. Campbell commented about August 2003 when
the plan is complete, will then need to start implementation which will require
the help of the Council and state funding.
E. Facilities Access:
Report by Darin Dehle. Nothing to
report as no one showed at the sub-committee meeting. Introduction of new ADA Director, Dennis Toney. Toney commented he will be working with
Darin Dehle to review access to each building on campus and they will prepare a
facility access map. He and Dehle will
be updating the ADA report prepared by Kent Parrish in 1992.
F. Facilities Naming: Buffaloe
commented this sub-committee is chaired by Ken Prolo and is a part of the
Planning Council’s role. The Council
makes their proposals to Ken Prolo.
There are currently two naming issues for the Council to review and make
recommendations on:
1. College of Business Building: The dean of Arts & Sciences
requests the building be named after some one or some thing.
2. ADA Resource Center: It has been requested the center be renamed
with a suggestion of “Kent Parrish Disability Resource Center” acknowledging
Parrish’s work on ADA issues.
Tony Martin commented the
Council needs to know the naming requirements before making
recommendations. The item was tabled
until the next meeting since Ken Prolo nor Sharon Seiber could not attend this
meeting.

G. Space Utilization:
Report by Darin Dehle. He has had no
success in getting the sub-committee together.
Campbell stated the Accreditation Board requires documentation on how
campus space is used so this is a very important committee. Buffaloe suggested to include Jennifer
Fisher, Dr. Alan Egger or Dr. Jonathan Lawson on the committee.
H. Energy and Water
Management: Darrell Buffaloe discussed the current energy grant that ISU
has received for developing an energy program. He has been working with the school districts and also needs to
get the word out to the campus, which the sub-committee is planning to help
address. Buffaloe discussed the $5.6
million Performance Contracting program which will allow the University to
upgrade units in several of the campus buildings. The loan will be payed back through energy savings.
I. Emergency
Preparedness: Report by Steve Chatterton, Public Safety Director. Chatterton stated he and Rody Cummings,
Safety and Loss Control Specialist, have reviewed and updated the ISU Emergency Response Manual. He will continue to include updates as
needed. Buffaloe discussed how the
preparing of the manual began with help from information from the Northridge,
CA earthquake. Peter Vik commented
that Doug Nilson has some safety issues he would like to incorporate into the
manual. He will have Nilson give
Chatterton a call.
III.
Issues from the Council
A. Sub-committee reorganization: Campbell commented the
Facilities Development sub-committee has completed its usefulness, but the
members can take part in other areas.
There are three areas that need sub-committees and he encouraged members
to participate:
1. Campus beautification program
2. Construction for projects such as the Performing Arts Center,
Accelerator addition, Rendezvous Building, Health Professions Clinic, and
Diesel-tech Center.
3. Circulation/Parking on campus and shuttle system
B. Darin Dehle discussed current and future projects. He noted the Performing Arts Center is on schedule with a completion date of
April 2004; Accelerator Center is adding additional space which should double
their output. Dehle discussed revival
of the Rendezvous Building project though bonding as per a request by Governor
Kempthorne to the legislature, as it would be cheaper to proceed with the
project now.
IV. Next
meeting: February 20, 2003 2:00 p.m.
SUB - Bear River Room
Need to make sure someone from each sub-committee
attends the regular Planning Council meetings.
Persons on the Council that cannot attend the regular meetings need to
