Jason recommended we ask the adhoc budget
committee to review the issue of a high demand fund. Additionally it was
recommended to convene the same CCF review group that did the 2013 exercise
review/report to do a similar analysis for the 2014 exercise. CEBC would
continue in its current form and structure; deciding to prioritize the
promotional steps and multiple roles issues, as well as discussion of what a
pay portfolio would look like. The issue of a portfolio or list of tools (i.e.
tool-kit) for compensation to provide maximum ability to compensate and reward
high quality staff, while reducing the perception of the “job carousel.” Steve
Stern is leading this issue for the faculty.
---For future meetings it was
suggested committee reviews the ASPP to review the charge of CEBC to ensure we
are prioritizing future agenda items.

and resolution was distributed and the assembly voted to accept both in the Oct

with the technical aspects to the co-chairs—posting minutes/agendas to the KB
and connecting with the Academic staff website and announcing meetings.
8. Future meeting scheduling-Jenny will send a
doodle to find a common standing monthly meeting time. Maya suggested we have
it available for those who can’t physically attend that they call or skype in.
We decided to meet in Bascome for next three months (Nov, Dec, Jan) and would
