III). New Business:
- Personnel & Policy Procedure Manual-Kerry Evans
- Mainly name changes

- Updating forms
- Survey Report on Pay
:
- Survey Results:
- Once a month pay-43%
- Bi-monthly pay-57%
- Question was asked as to why the survey was done if nothing was going to happen-Dawn Watkins responded that at this time we are sharing Banner with other campuses and there is not enough staff to handle a bi-monthly pay process
- The bi-monthly pay at the U of M is having problems
- Susan Alt will issue a response to send out to CEPAC & others about the concern(s) some have over the survey
-Leslie Taylor and Rolf Groseth:
- List-serv’s on campus
- Leslie felt at the time the list-serv for all staff & faculty that was created for the President’s office was for communicating legal and serious issues, and one of the criteria was that it had to effect all staff & faculty, however other things have been asked to be put on it or have been sent out over it.
- Leslie & Rolf, would like to develop an alternative way of handling "announcements", maybe have announcements linked to a main page or email everyone on Monday AM about "happenings" for the week
- Our input was that we liked the idea about an email on Monday mornings that told about the week "happenings"
- They will keep us updated on what is decided
-Upcoming Debates:
- Any local candidates debates scheduled? If not Donna will bug Cathy Conover about seeing if MSU can sponsor one
-Future Speaker ideas:
- President Gamble
- Kirk from Wellness
- Rep from MPEA
-Personality Profiles:
- Donna thought it would be interesting to have CEPAC members complete a Personality Profile for their own personal use. This may lend to better understanding of how to make sure everyone works together.
- Did not have to do the profile
- Will discuss at next meeting
NEXT MEETING IS NOVEMBER 08, 2000 IN THE BRADLEY CONFERENCE ROOM-9:00AM-11:00AM
