Joe distributed an additional spreadsheet (C Category 1 – Ranked) and reviewed process. The Board has approved 4 of 5 one-time funding allocations. The last one is general purpose. The Budget Committee has reviewed and categorized the applications. Joe asked Council members to discuss today, go back to constituent groups, and provide comments. Adrienne stated that she is on the College Budget Committee and pointed out that Category 4 unranked because questions came up; how does it fit in plan? technical support? Category 5 unranked because items are on-going, need more information. Adrienne would like come up with a process for Category 4. This will come back to President’s Council.

Joe reported that the District Technology Committee is forwarding this to President’s Council for consideration. This will be passed on to the President and then to the Board. There is an appeal process, through the Technology Committee, if a request for a laptop has been denied. Steve suggested that the Council move on with this; issues can still be addressed. MS (Crook/Perez) unanimously carried to approve Technology Plan, Draft Exhibit E-1, Hardware Standards and Draft Exhibit E-3, Web Standards.
