PRESENT:  Linda DeWitt, Linda Grenz, Joe Escobar, Linda Loft, Kaaren O’Rourke, Steve Pruch, Joe Russin, Bob Vogel

FACILITATOR:  Stephen Pruch

RECORDER:  Joe Escobar

1.   Last meeting’s minutes reviewed and approved.
2.   Group members took time to go over accuracy of their scores/rankings with the provided cumulative group scores/rankings.
3.   Tech Fee FY04 – proposals will awarded up to the $728,000 mark
4.   General discussion and questions:

• There was a discussion about Carl Perkins funding and its relation to TACT funding.  Proposals approved by both groups would result in the release of more TACT funds to approve more proposals on the ranked list.
• Issue: Recurring costs.  Specifically, the need for proposals to more clearly separate/prioritize requests was made.  Also, TACT members expressed a concern for reoccurring costs, which are effectively decreasing the actual dollar amount to be awarded to departments across campus.
• Standardization of technology and/or the eventual movement to a centralized technology center was discussed as a long term goal and cost saving measure.

• Any leftover Tech FY03 unexpended/saved funds
• Results from the Carl Perkins grant awards
• FY04 contingency availability
