Student Fees: Indexing Student Fee Increases

The consumer price Index annual increase as of December 31, plus two percent, be used as a guideline for the annual fee increases. (By Board policy, "An institution cannot request more than a ten percent increase in the total full-time student fee unless otherwise authorized by the Board.")

Mrs. Bilyeu commented that no one really wanted to increase fees, but some type of regular fee indication is needed so that students will know how much the fees will increase each year. The Finance Committee heard from the financial vice presidents and each student body president. There was support from all except the UI Student Body President, Mr. Mike Gottsch.

Mrs. Fields stated that the Board members on the Finance Committee did not have any intention of this annual increase being used to bring student fees up to peer institutions or other institutions across the United States. It is merely a method used to predict the outcome of student fees during the years a student is in a higher education institution.

Mr. Cox felt the State Board should wait to see what the Legislature does rather than being in the forefront and announcing a fee increase.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mrs. Fields, and carried to use the Consumer Price Index annual increase as of December 31, plus two percent, as a guideline by the institutions in recommending annual fee increases. Mr. Cox voted no.

1/22/91

Part-Time Credit Hour Fees

Part-time credit hour fees should be ten percent of full-time fees; however, part-time credit hour fees that exceed this limit should be frozen until the ten percent level is reached.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mrs. Fields, and carried that total part-time credit hour fees should be limited to ten percent of full-time fees; however part-time credit hour fees that currently exceed this limit should be frozen until the ten percent level is reached or phased in to the ten percent level over a two year period.

1/22/91

Vocational-Technical Student Fees

Fees charged to vocational-technical students should continue to be the same as fees charged academic students at the four-year institutions.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu and seconded by Mr. Hinckley to continue the practice of charging vocational-technical students the same fees as academic students are now charged at the four-year institutions.

Mrs. Bilyeu was asked by Mr. Evans if the proposal made by Dr. Anderson received thorough review by the Finance Committee. Mrs. Bilyeu stated that the Finance Committee did discuss it quite thoroughly and that they were not unanimous on this issue.

Mrs. Fields suggested that the vocational fees be frozen for three years in order to gather data and do a study.

The Finance Committee heard from the financial vice presidents and students from LCSC and ISU. They felt quite strongly that there should not be a difference in fees, as this would set them apart from other students on campus.

A roll call vote was taken on the motion: Mr. Cox, Mr. Evans, and Mrs. Fields voted no. Mrs. Bilyeu, Mr. Hinckley, and Mrs. Mahoney voted yes. Mr. Shurtliff was not present. Mr. Fay cast his vote in favor of the motion. The motion carried.

UI Library Addition and Remodel

As part of the FY89 Surplus Eliminator Bill, the Legislature initially funded the University of Idaho's library addition and remodeling by appropriating $400,000 for the planning phase. The State Division of Public Works (DPW) contracted with the architectural firm, Ellis-Feeney, Architects/Planners, for the planning design phase of the project, DPW Project 90-254. In 1990, the Legislature (Senate Bill 1647) provided $9,369,600 for the project, and the Board approved a FY92 request of $3,447,600 to complete the project. DPW requests to transfer the administration of the project to the University of Idaho.

In order to complete the transfer, the Board of Regents needs to accept the project subject to the agreement and addendum with DPW, accept the contract with current architectural firm, and accept the FY91 funds. The agreement and addendum with DPW detail the process the University of Idaho must follow in completing the project. The transfer of the architectural services agreement is also outlined. By accepting the FY 91 funds the University of Idaho agrees to the accounting conditions as specified in Senate Bill 1647.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mr. Hinckley, and carried to accept the Interagency Project Agreement and the Addendum (item 5a) between the Division of Public Works and the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho; to accept the Assignment of the Architectural Services Agreement for the Division of Public Works Project 90-254(item 5b); and to accept $9,369,600 to partially fund the project subject to provision in Senate Bill 1647 (item 5c). Additionally, the Board of Regents delegates the administration of the above-mentioned project to the University of Idaho.

Copies of the Agreement, Addendum, Architectural Services Agreement and Senate Bill 1647 shall be placed on file as permanent exhibits in the Office of the State Board of Education. Copies of this material are included in the Finance Committee's agenda as Items 5a, 5b, and 5c.

Purchase and Sale of Property and Equipment

The UI Director of Purchasing has certified compliance with university and State of Idaho procurement policies, procedures, and laws in the acquisition of purchases described below. Interim approval to purchase the following items was received in December, 1990, from Executive Director Rayburn Barton, Office of the State Board of Education:

Requisition/ Dept.	Item	Amount
391035/PSES	Ion Analyzer	$37,000
304049, Fish & Wildlife Resources	Fish Tracking System	$83,685
391179/PSES	Gas Chromatographs	$54,000

1/22/91

Purchase of Data Communication Backbone

As an interim campus data communication backbone, the university plans to expand the Ethernet system between Computer Services and the North West Net router in Buchanen Engineering Laboratory. Router technology will be used to isolate traffic on individual or groups of LANs from the backbone, except when required to access resources available only through the backbone. This expanded system would enable the workstations on departmental or college LANs to access other networks such as the mainframe, Bitnet, NorthWestNet, and the bibliographic searching network planning for the Library.

A copper backbone rather than a fiber optic backbone, is planned at this time due to topology, cost, and required bandwidth. Design of the system will assure equipment that can be upgraded to support FDDI, although FDDI cards will not be purchased until migrating to the eventual fiber optic communication backbone system planned for the campus. Current planning efforts suggest the fiber optic system be accommodated in the future by providing utility raceways in solution provides a campus network that will address virtually all known needs for a three-to-five-year period.

Based upon current estimates, the interim network will cost approximately $135,000. Funding will come from the critical capital outlay funds appropriated in FY 1991 and departmental funds.

1/21/91

University of Idaho/Idaho Education Public Broadcast System (UI.IEPBS) MOU

Contract for Banking Services

In accord with regents' policy Section "V. Financial Affairs, D. Fiscal Officers, Banking and Investments, 2. Deposits", the university has solicited proposals for the supply of banking services. The purpose of the request for proposals (RFPs is to obtain a qualified financial institution to provide principal banking services under a general banking services agreement.

It is the university's intent to contract for the requested banking services from one qualified financial institution which offers the highest quality of services at the least total cost to the university. Repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, and other investments may be purchased by the university from any qualified depository or primary reporting dealer offering the best rates, and are not part of the RFP evaluation.

The RFP's were distributed December 10,1990, and responses were received from four financial institutions by the December 21, 1990, due date. Each of the four responding institutions has been previously approved by the regents to serve the University of Idaho. Evaluations and selections are in progress at the time the agenda is being prepared. Final selection of the successful proposer will be reported at the board meeting.

Progress Report from Student Affairs Committee

In June, 1990, the Board approved the membership of a Student Affairs Committee (SAC), whose charge was to review institutional student services and programs and make any recommendations. Beginning in late fall, the SAC, which consists of chief student affairs officers and associated student body presidents, began to meet. Dr. David Taylor, BSU; Mr. Graydon Stanley CSI; Dr. Mike Hostetler, LCSC; and Dr. Vicki Johnson provided an update on progress to date.

The issue and concerns raised by the campuses were prioritized by a working committee into three major groups: access and retention, campus climate (includes safety and security), and resources (people, facilities, and funding). The report is ready to go to the committee at large for their final approval, after which it will come before the State Board at the April meeting.

The timetable involved is as follows:

The Student Affairs Committee will review and approve the final draft of report the first week of April;
The draft report will be reviewed and discussed at the April Presidents' Council meeting;
The report will be presented as a draft at the April Board Meeting.

Dr. Vickers urged the Board to have a representative from the Student Affairs Committee at each Board meeting in order to address any issues related to student services. President Fay concurred with Dr. Vickers and assured him that a representative would be in attendance during the Personnel/Administrative Committee meetings.

President Fay recommended that an assessment procedure be included in the report. That assessment should be presented annually to at least the presidents on an individual basis for their own institutions. The report is not to be used as a comparison of institutions.

Dr. Barton asked what the Board's expectations are regarding the implementation of the report recommendations (i.e., policy development or working on individual recommendations), the status of the Student Affairs Committee after the report is approved, etc.

President Fay stated that he would feel comfortable with broad policy (guideline) statements in place at the statewide level so that the institutions can maintain their individual integrity, and to let the committee proceed to study each major subject and determine how each institution could deal with those concerns.

Construction Manger for the Library Addition and Remodel Project

Regents' approval is requested to hire a construction management firm for the Library Addition and Remodel Project. In accordance with Division of Public Works' Interagency Project Agreement with the DPW and Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council is required to employ a construction manager for the project. The university's Acting Financial Vice President and State Board Office Facility Planner met March 7, 1991, with the Director, Division of Public Works, and the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council.

The university administration believes that costs incurred for a construction management team will be saved within the available budget by accelerating the construction schedule. By using a construction manager, work will begin late in 1991, thereby escaping a probable increase in construction seasons (as estimated by outside consultants). Construction management costs will be approximately 3%. The university's past construction management experience with the Life Sciences Building Addition and Remodel proved to be of immeasurable value and it is believed that it can be again in this project.

Immediately upon transfer of the Library project to the university from DPW, the process to hire a construction management firm began. In anticipation of selecting a firm, the university proceeded to develop a modified schedule of he architects in late January design development started February 1. Start of construction is anticipated for August, 1991.

The university's Request for Proposal to select a construction management firm was reviewed by the State Board Office staff and they will participate in the interview and selection process scheduled for March 8,1991. For your information, a "sample" agreement form that will be signed by the construction management firm was distributed to the Board office and to Joan Racki. Copies are available upon request. The university will provide for regents' approval at the March 21 regents' meeting, a contract agreement with the firm selected to be the construction manager for the Library project.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mrs. Fields, and carried to hire a Construction Manager for the Library Addition and Remodel Project(DPW Project No. 90-254)

Budget Increase for the Library Addition and Remodel Project

During the preliminary design considerations for the Library Addition and Remodel Project, the university expressed interest in enhancing certain features of the current project design. At the end of the schematic design phase, Ellis-Feeney presented a basic design within the budget approved by the regents ($12,217,200).

The university has an opportunity to better integrate the old Library with the architectural character of the earlier Gothic structures on campus. Enhancing the appearance in this way would produce a more appropriate architectural treatment of the building exterior. The objective of the enhanced design proposal is to create a visually appealing library that is literally and figuratively at the heart of the university. Materials, details, and forms would be incorporated to define and to better articulate the old and new spaces and to visually tie the facility to other prestigious academic and historically significant campus buildings.

To accomplish this objective, the University of Idaho is in the process of raising $400,000 to add to the appropriated state funds to accommodate the additional design features. The university administration is prepared to pledge this additional revenue to the project and wishes to proceed with board review and approval so that these changes can now be incorporated into the architect's design documents.

The enhancements are integral to the design work that is currently in progress. An ambitious schedule to keep the project moving toward a goal of fall 1991 ground breaking requires that approval be sought for an increase in the budget for the project at the March, 1991, Regents' meeting. A project summary form has been revised to reflect this change and submitted directly to Joan Racki for her review.

The university seeks approval of an increase in the Library project budget to reflect the university's commitment to raise $400,000 to augment the state's contributions. This reflects an increase of 3.3% in the total budget.

Two supplementary fund sources have been identified for partial asbestos abatement. They are a $70,000 balance from SB 1492, Library Basement Remodel, completed in 1987, and from Mansville Asbestos funds for $53,500 assigned to this project. These sources bring the total project budget to $12,740,700.

The university requests authorization to continue working with the architects and construction manager on incorporating the referenced enhancements into the overall scope of the project. Specific revisions to the architects' contract will be brought to the Regents for review and approval in April, 1991.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mrs. Fields, and carried to approve the increase in the budget for the Library Addition and Remodel, WO 2313/DPW 90-254, 90-914, by $400,000 from private sources.

Lease of Land at Aberdeen Research and Extension Center

Authorization is requested to lease approximately 0.321 acres of land area at the Aberdeen Research and Extension Center to the U.S soil Conservation Service, Department of Agriculture, for a period of 99 years for $1 monetary consideration. The Soil Conservation leased property. The building would provide SCS personnel with needed space and free up space for university personnel. According to federal regulation, for a federal agency to install a permanent facility on non-federal property, it is required that a long-term, 99-year lease be obtained for the land area. The regents approved and the University issued a similar 99-year lease agreement (July 1987) to the U.S Agricultural Research Service for the National Small Grain Germplasm Research Facility at Aberdeen. A clause of the lease will state, " The premises shall be used by the federal government for purposes of the U.S Soil Conservation Service to operate and maintain a Plant Material Center Office and greenhouse facility or for other purposes as approved by the lessor." The proposed lease is shown as Exhibit A.

Quitclaim Deed to Dr. Margretta Kethler, Cedar Veterinary Hospital

Reference: Regents' Minutes, April 1989, page 43.

The above reference reflects the regents' approval for the university to purchase 30,127 square feet of vacant land to be developed into parking lots as part of the parking improvement program. Board approval authorized the university to negotiate for the purchase at a cost not to exceed $80,000, or $2.66 per square foot. The property survey revealed that the acquisition actually included a strip of land at the north end of the property that is a small parking area for the cedar Veterinary Hospital. The resultant price paid for the property acquired was $60,000. This was, essentially, for 24,096 square feet ($2.49 per square foot) and transfer of ownership at no cost of the small parking lot parcel used by Dr. Kethler.

Dr. Margretta Kethler, the owner of the veterinary hospital, has used the parking area since approximately 1973. In order to accurately record effective ownership and use of the land the university proposes to issue a Quitclaim Deed to Dr. Kethler for the cost of the transaction.

Purchase of Land for Experimental Forest

During 1989, the university acquired 37.2 acres of a 40-acre tract of forest land as a gift from Roland and Elaine Byers and Kenneth E. Hungerford. This 40-acre tract is situated nearly in the center of the 800-acre Big Meadow Creek Unit of the 7,300-acre University of Idaho Experimental Forest north of Troy, Idaho. The remaining 2.8 acres of the 40-acre tract are owned by Thomas and Shirley Baenen, and they are now offering to sell the 2.8 acres to the regents at the property tax assessed value of $1,977. A map of the property (Exhibit J) is on file in the Office of the State Board of Education. Authorization is requested to purchase this forest land from University of Idaho Experimental Forest funds.

Revision of the Architectural Services Contract for the Library Addition and Remodel Project

Mr. Jerry Wallace, Financial Vice President, University of Idaho, gave a progress report on the actions to date on the Library Addition and Remodel Project. There was a modification to the Architectural Services contract which was distributed to the Finance Committee previously and was also reviewed by Joan Racki, Brad Hall, and the Legal Counsel of the University of Idaho.

Approval was granted at the March 21, 1991, Regents meeting for the university to enter into a contract with a construction manager for the Library Addition and Remodel Project. As a result of that approval it is necessary to revise the contract with the project architects because of the modified roles they will perform with the presence of a project construction manager. Approval of the revised architectural services agreement is requested.

The revised architectural services agreement is based on the AIA standard form for Architectural Services with a Construction Manager and has been reviewed by Joan Racki. Copies of the revised agreement have been forwarded to the university and Regents' legal counsels for review prior to the regents' meeting and will be modified accordingly prior to final presentation at the April Regents' meeting.

The university Administration is in the process of renegotiating the terms of the architectural services contract for these reasons: to reduce fees for those elements to be undertaken by the construction manager; to increase fees for elements associated with modifications to the project due to redistribution of remodel and new construction work; and to add fees due to modifications of the total project budget as approved by the regents at the March meeting.

The university will report the net adjustment in the architectural services contract and will provide a final draft of the contract agreement with the firm of record for the Library Addition and Remodel Project at the April 18 Regents' meeting.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mrs. Mahoney, and carried to approve the revision of the Architectural Services contract for the Library Addition and Remodel Project.

4/18/91

Increased Budget for the University Post Office Project

Mr. Jerry Wallace, Financial Vice President, University of Idaho, explained that this project is to move the campus post office from the Library to a new facility. The U.S. Postal Service review of the plan called for more space than was originally planned. Therefore, the University is asking for additional funds for this further expansion to cover additional costs due to the change in construction environment.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mr. Evans, and carried to increase the budget of the University Post Office Project.

Idaho EPSCoR Advisory Committee Membership

As the March, 1991, State Board of Education meeting, staff informed the Board of the need to appoint or reappoint members to the Idaho EPSCoR Advisory Committee. This action was needed due to the resignation of one member and the expiration of two other members' terms. The Board appointments were to take place at the April, 1991, Board meeting in Coeur d'Alene. As a consequence of that discussion, staff was instructed to provide the Board with a list of the current EPSCoR Advisory Committee, where they are from, what they do, and their term expiration dates (Exhibit I, which is on file in the Office of the State Board). A list of nominees was provided at the April meeting from which the Board could choose new appointees. In addition, staff provided the Board examples of the makeup of EPSCoR Advisory Committees in other states.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mrs. Mahoney and carried to appoint two ex-officio members to the EPSCoR Advisory Committee. Those two members would be Robin Dodson from the Board staff and Alice Koskela from the Governor's Office. The appointment would be effective immediately.

Discussion was held regarding all institutions having the opportunity to have representation on the EPSCoR Advisory Committee. Mrs. Bilyeu's intent was that the numbers on this committee be retained at 11, but as time went by, that there would be three members recommended from ISU, three from BSU, three from UI, and two from LCSC. She recommended that the Board not fill the present three vacancies. In another year, there would be two other members up for appointment. During that time, an equitable balance could be developed for all the institutions in the reappointment procedure.

Mrs. Bilyeu's intent would not be to put three members of any faculty on the advisory committee, but to keep one person from faculty from each institution, and the other two would be business people recommended by the institutions.

It was moved by Mrs. Bilyeu, seconded by Mr. Shurtliff that the Board not appoint any members to the EPSCoR Advisory Committee.

Discussion was held regarding relieving the present Advisory Committee of their duties and replacing them with new individuals. Dr. Bell, University of Idaho commented that Idaho is in the middle of Phase II of EPSCoR competition, and his concern was that the Board was tampering with the process, which might impact and take a competitive edge away from Idaho.

Mr. Mosman called for the question. The Board voted, and the motion carried to not appoint any members to the EPSCoR Advisory Committee.

Lease Agreements-Storage Space from Crites- Moscow Growers, Inc.

On April 1, 1991, the university was granted "interim" approval by the Executive Director, State Board of Education to sign the lease agreement shown as Exhibit A for university storage space. Final regents' approval is requested.

The space/lease is on a month-to-month basis with Crites-Moscow Growers, Inc., Moscow, Idaho. The lease terms are $302.56 per month (3,782 square feet at $.08 per square foot). If needed, the university has the option of renting an additional 3,240 square feet in the basement of this building at $129.60 per month ($.04 per square foot).

A portion of the Parking Improvement Program, approved by the Board last April, requires some university storage facilities to be relocated to a perimeter area of campus. The existing facilities are in the area of the future student residence parking lot north of Wallace Complex (Lot 25). Final preparation is underway to complete Lot 25, and the remaining storage facilities at that site must be vacated by university departments. Replacement storage facilities are being developed, but will not be constructed until later in the year. The lease of space from Crites-Moscow Growers, Inc., will provide temporary storage until the replacement facilities are completed.

MOU-University of Idaho and the Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game

Authorization is requested to enter into an agreement( Exhibit B) with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game( IDFG) for the use of university facilities at the Caldwell Research and Extension Center. IDFG intends to use the facility for the purpose of developing a big game research facility. IDFG will provide funds to remodel the old veterinary facilities and fence in the area to contain bighorn sheep. IDFG will develop the area for research which can quickly become a regional/national center to study high mountain game diseases. The facilities and area have not been used by the university in recent years, and this is an opportunity to provide the space for beneficial use. University faculty from the departments of Wildlife and Animal Veterinary Science will conduct joint research projects and train graduate students.

4/18/91

Approval to Revise the Architectural Services Contract for the Library Addition and Remodel Project (DPW Project No. 90-254)

Approval was granted at the March 21, 1991, Regents' Meeting for the university to enter into a contract with a construction manager for the Library Addition and Remodel Project. As a result of that Approval it is necessary to revise the contract with the project architects because of the modified roles they will perform with the presence of a project construction manager. Approval of revised architectural services agreement is requested.

The revised architectural services agreement is based on the AIA standard form for Architectural Services with a Construction Manager and has been reviewed by Joan Racki. Copies of the revised agreement have been forwarded to the university and regents' meeting. and will be modified accordingly prior to final presentation at the April Regents' meeting.

The university administration is in the process of renegotiating the terms of the architectural services contract for these reasons: to reduce fees for those elements to be undertaken by the construction manager; to increase fees for elements associated with modifications to the project due to redistribution of remodel and new construction work; and to add fees due to modifications of the total project budget as approved by the regents at the March meeting.

The university will report the net adjustment in the architectural services contract and will provide a final draft of the contract agreement with the firm of record for the Library Addition and Remodel Project at the April 18 Regents' meeting.

4/18/91

Approval to Increase the Budget for the University Post Office Project

At the June, 1990, Regents' meeting, the university requested and received approval to design and construct a 2,000 gross square foot addition to the Bookstore to accommodate moving the University Post Office from the Library. The relocation is needed prior to the ground breaking of the Library Addition scheduled for late summer 1991. Approval of the project was received for a total project amount of $150,000.

During design and construction documents phases, final assessment of the building needs for the University Post Office were expanded to a total of 2,250 gross square feet to accommodate estimates for a larger clientele of postal patrons at the new location. Additionally, the scope of work shall include adjustments to Bookstore exits and minor modifications to isolated plumbing and electrical features in the adjacent Bookstore.

Construction bids, received on March 28,1991, were 20-25% greater than the original budget. The relatively smaller size of this project substantially impacts the contractor mobilization costs and contributes to the overall cost increase over budget. The UI requests approval of the adjusted scope of work for a total of $200,000, an increase in the original estimate of 33%. Source of funds for the increase of $50,000 is from university facility funds contingency reserve. The original project is funded from university facility funds.

Naming of the Advanced Technology Phase I Facility

Approval is requested to name the new Advanced Technology Phase I facility in honor of James A. McClure. The facility would be named the "James A. McClure Hall." A subscript "College of Mines and Earth Resources" will be added to the facility signage, in order to communicate the program occupying that facility.

Senator McClure has given many years of service to the nation, to Idaho, and to his alma mater. The naming of the new facility is in recognition of his dedicated leadership in support of efficient production, use, and conservation of minerals and other natural resources in Idaho and throughout the nation.

The Advanced Technology Phase I facility under development for the College of Mines and Earth Resources will provide approximately 86,000 square feet of new teaching and research space for the college.

Student Health Insurance Premiums-For Information Only

Other--For Information Only- Pursuant to Regents' policy V.R.3.b. and c., the following fee changes have been approved and established by the president and are reported here for information.

The University typically issues requests for proposals for student health an accident insurance at three-year intervals. This year was the third year in a three year cycle. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued to select a local agent and another RFP currently solicits proposals for insurance. We anticipate that an insurance proposal will be approved by the president in May; and pursuant to Regents' policy (State Board of Education and the Regents of the University of Idaho Governing Policies and Procedures Manual, Section V-R-3b), a report will be made to the regents at their next regular meeting.

The university plans to continue to offer a two-tier student insurance (Plan A) covering all matriculated, fee-paying students and extended health and accident insurance (Plan B) offered to those who desire additional coverage and who are not otherwise insured. Beginning with the fall, 1991, semester, international students with nonresident immigration status will be required to purchase optional student health and extended accident insurance if they do not have comparable coverage. Notice to inform these students of this requirement has been published in the General University Catalog and included in mailings to prospective international students.

Based on projections made by the current insurance carrier earlier this year, we anticipate that the cost of Plan A (mandatory accident insurance) will increase by approximately $3 per semester. This amount has been included in the student fee increases for which Regents' approval is being requested and should cover inflationary increases in the cost of insurance as will as provide for some benefit enhancements.

We anticipate that the cost of Plan B(optional health and extended accident insurance) will not be more than 10% over the current cost, based on trends in insurance costs and on UI student experience.

The above information, including cost projections, has been communicated to the ASUI president and senate; and ASUI representatives are working with the committee that will be reviewing the responses to the Request for Proposals. A report to the regents on the insurance plan selected is planned for their June meeting.

4/18/91

Activity Fees-For Information Only

Other--For Information Only- Pursuant to Regents' policy V.R.3.b. and c., the following fee changes have been approved and established by the president and are reported here for information.

Inflation and service pressures require additional revenues to maintain and improve several activities. Although inflationary pressures associated with medical costs are a critical maintenance issue for Student Accident Insurance and the Student Health Center the university also seeks to provide students more comprehensive accident insurance and expanded services at the Health Center. Increasing costs and growing demand for recreation opportunities, facilities, and equipment are the primary considerations for additional support funds for the Marching Band and Campus Recreation programs.

Academic Session Room and Board Rates

Several discussions occurred between housing management, dining services management, university administration and the Residence Hall Association. The discussions encompassed the development of a dining service business plan, housing maintenance issues, and residence life issues. Room and board fees were discussed within the context of these matters and were viewed as only a part of an overall plan to improve dining services, housing, and residence life. A final meeting was held on April 1. The meeting provided an opportunity for consultation between the Residence Hall Association, the Acting Financial Vice President, the Vice President for Student Affairs, and the Director of Housing and Residence Life. Based upon recommendations from the April 1 meeting, the president approved 1991-92 room and board rates as follows:

The aggregate room and board rates increase for 1191-92 will be approximately 6.93%. This increase includes a $15/year Residence Hall Association fee adopted by this student group. Without this fee, the aggregate increase would be approximately 6.34%.

The room rate increase will assist in covering: 1.) increase in personnel cost to remain in line with overall university personnel cost increases; 2.) utility, heat, and electricity inflationary increases; and 3.) the commitment of more funds to maintenance.

The board rate increase will go primarily toward offsetting inflationary increases in providing university dining services, especially in personnel and food costs.

The detailed schedule (Exhibit C) displays the complete room and board rate changes for FY92.

Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority House- For Information Only

Other--For Information Only- Pursuant to Regents' policy V.R.3.b. and c., the following fee changes have been approved and established by the president and are reported here for information.

The university has expressed to the Kappa Alpha Theta Corporation an interest in purchasing their property at 514 Sweet Avenue. The university intends to provide a facility to establish a "local" sorority organization which would house about 50 to 60 women students. The addition of these student living spaces would help the anticipated shortage of living accommodations on campus. It is anticipated that a national sorority will eventually offer membership to this local sorority and, in time, buy the house from the university. The university supports the "Greek" housing system and believes this both addresses the need for additional student living space and retains this Greek house within the residential campus.

The university process will be as follows:

a. The university will appoint an appraiser to provide a valuation opinion. If either party does not agree with that valuation, another appraiser will be selected and compensated by the dissenting party.

b. Upon agreeing to a price for the property and furnishings/equipment, the Kappa Alpha Theta House Corporation would submit a proposed sales agreement to the university. The sales agreement will include the stipulation that the seller provides title insurance to the buyer.

c. The proposed sales agreement would then be submitted to the regents for consideration.

d. One of the current university requirements in purchasing property is that the seller must assure the university that the facility is safe of asbestos exposure for the proposed use of the building.

e. With the request for final Regents' approval, the university will present a financing plan for purchase of the facility with rental income covering the debt service costs.

Approval to Sign Lease Agreement for Art Studio

Approval is requested to ratify the Executive Director's approval to sign a lease agreement to provide temporary space for an art studio to support the program of Professor David Giese, College of Art and Architecture.

The space/lease is on a month-to-month basis with Crites-Moscow Growers, Inc., Moscow, Idaho. The lease terms are $325 per month for approximately 1,048 square feet and includes all utilities.

On May 28,1991, the university was granted "interim" approval by the Executive Director, State Board of Education, to sign the lease agreement (Exhibit C) for university studio space. Final regents approval is requested.

6/27/91

Employee Medical/Dental Insurance

Approval is requested to renew the employee medical and dental insurance contract with Medical Service Bureau/ Blue Shield of Idaho for the period July 1, 1991, through June 30,1992. The university has elected to negotiate renewal with the current carrier in consideration of satisfactory service and reasonableness of the premium increase requested in light of the university's claims experience. Independent review by the university's employee benefits consultant supports this decision.

The overall premium increase negotiated with Blue Shield was 15.7%. This increase has been distributed over the premiums paid by the university for employees and dependents (through continued partial subsidy of dependent premiums n the rating formula) and the premiums paid by employees for dependents.

6/27/91

Premium Only Plan for Pre-tax Payment of Dependent Health Benefit Premiums

Approval is requested to implement a UI Employee Premium Only Plan which would enable UI employees to pay dependent health benefit premiums through payroll deduction with pre-tax dollars. This plan would be a "negative option" in that all employees who pay dependent health benefit premiums would be included in the plan except those who elect a waiver.

Upon approval by the regents, the Plan Document (Exhibit D) would be filed with the IRS pursuant to Internal Revenue Code 125 under which such plans are authorized. The plan document has been prepared by the university's employee benefits consultant. Consultant's counsel reviewed the document for compliance with Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code; university counsel has reviewed the plan document for compliance with board rules. Following the Plan Document is a general outline of the type of information which will be presented to all eligible UI employees to explain the provisions and conditions of the Premium Only Plan, followed by a sample worksheet.

The university understands that the Office of Group Insurance intends to implement a similar plan for state of Idaho employees as soon as modifications to the state payroll system can be implemented, anticipated in January, 1992. Being in a separate employee health benefits plan and operating on a separate payroll, UI would not participate in the state of Idaho Premium Only Plan for dependent health benefits premiums and therefore requests authority to implement such a plan for UI employees, to be effective at the beginning of the fiscal year, which coincides the new health benefits contract year.

6/27/91

UI/EWU Dietetics Program

The university requests approval of the agreement (Exhibit F) which defines mutual responsibilities of UI and EWU for students currently enrolled in the Consortium of Coordinated Programs in Dietetics (CCPD) to complete the requirements for a degree in dietetics at their respective institutions under the currently scheduled and approved curricula.

The university requests approval of the agreement (Exhibit G) which provides for three nonresident tuition waivers or grant scholarships annually and provides preference over non-Idaho residents for future EWU applicants to the Coordinated Program in Dietetics (CPD), operated by the UI School of Home Economics.

In 1976, the regents approved participation by the university in the CCPD to provide access for UI students to an accredited dietetics program. The program was established in cooperation with Eastern Washington University and provided for clinical experience through cooperative agreements with several area hospitals in Spokane, Washington, area.

EWU has announced it wishes to discontinue its association with CCPD as of June 30, 1992. UI is interested in continuing to operate the program through the School of Home Economics, and to continue the beneficial association with the Spokane hospitals which is essential to successful operation of the program. That association can be fostered through an agreement which offers a limited number of nonresident tuition waivers and preference over other non-Idaho residents for EWU students.

The Coordinating Program in Dietetics (CPD) has received approval to continue as an accredited program under the operation of the UI through July, 1992. The UI has submitted documentation to the American Dietetic Association for developmental accreditation of the CPD Program. Approval is expected in August, 1991, with full accreditation expected by 1993.

Request approval to approve a second addendum to the Interagency Project Agreement dated January 22,1991, between the Idaho Division of Public Works (DPW) and the Regents of the University of Idaho pertaining to the Library Addition/Renovation project.

The addendum (Exhibit J) was prepared by the attorneys for DPW and the university, and approved by the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council at their meeting held June 6,1991. The key provision of this addendum is as follows:

"...By this addendum, the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho and representatives of the University of Idaho no longer must obtain written approval from the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council prior to increasing the project budget, or require Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council approval of separate contracts, construction management and/or design build concepts, and no further review by the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council is required in the architect selection review and approval of preliminary design construction documents or approval and award of construction contracts or testing contracts."

Student Accident and Health Insurance

The President has approved and the university now reports to the board, in accordance with regents' policy and procedures (Section V-R-2c), that it has solicited proposals for the UI student insurance plan and has accepted the proposal determined to be in the best interest of the university and the students. That proposal was submitted by Doug Ruedlinger, Inc., through Newsome-Kimberling Insurance (NKI) of Moscow, previously selected through the RFP process as the agent for student insurance.

UI continues to offer a two tier plan of student insurance. Premiums for mandatory accident insurance, which covers all fee-paying matriculated students, will increase from 3.65 per semester to $6.65. Full-time students will have accident coverage 24 hours a day; part-time students will continue to be covered for UI- related activities only. Benefits remain at $5,000 payable at 80% of usual, customary, and reasonable cost of medical care subject to a $150 deductible per accident ($500 deductible for club sorts or intramural injuries).

Premiums for optional health and extended accident insurance will increase from $291 per year to $321 for students. Annual premiums for student spouses will be $438 and for each child, $284. (Family premiums last year were rated differently with annual premiums of $337 for one dependent or $595 for two or more dependents). This plan provides $25,000 in total benefits, payable at 80% of usual, customary, and reasonable cost of medical care after a $150 annual deductible. A third plan of catastrophic insurance will also be offered for an optional additional fee of $80 providing benefits from $25,000 to $250,000.

Currently, all matriculated students are covered by student accident insurance and about 11% of UI students purchase optional health and extended accident insurance. Beginning with the 1991-92 school year, nonresident alien students will be required to purchase UI optional health and extended accident insurance or document that they are covered by other comparable insurance as evidence of their obligation to demonstrated financial responsibility for expenses incurred while in the United States.

Currently, all matriculated students are covered by student accident insurance and about 11% of UI students purchase optional health and extended accident insurance. Beginning with the 1991-92 school year, nonresident alien students will be required to purchase UI optional health and extended accident insurance or document that they are covered by other comparable insurance as evidence of their obligation to demonstrate financial responsibility for expenses incurred while in the United States.

Premium increases are within the range anticipated and the increase for the mandatory accident insurance premium was included within the Uniform Student Fee increases approved by the regents in April, 1991. Insurance for injuries occurring while practicing or participating in intercollegiate athletics are covered separately and are not included within the student insurance program.

The student insurance plan may be renewed after the first year by mutual consent of the parties, or a new request for proposals issued. To enhance continuity of the student insurance program and maximize the benefit to the university of an advisory relationship, the agreement with the agent is for three years, subject to annual renewal for two years thereafter by mutual consent. Representatives of ASUI and the Student Health Center were involved in drafting the requests for proposals and the proposal recommended above was reviewed with them.

FY91-92 Carry-Over Funds

Regents' approval is requested to spend the following carryover funds:

General EducationThe FY91-92 carry over funds in General Education that are available for non-recurring expenses in FY92 are $1,374,096. Of this amount, $566,270 are restricted to the completion of several research projects and other board-directed initiatives. The carry-over of funds occurs because it takes up to six months once funds are allocated to recruit and hire individuals to work on research projects and the three-year continuing funding nature of the EPSCoR program. Also included in the carry-over funds are $130,825 if receipts in excess of authorized spending levels. These funds will be used to offset the 1.3% holdback. Regents' approval is requested to use the balance of the carryover funds ($677,001) to address non-recurring needs. These needs include: upgrading a computer graphics laboratory and a computer-aided design laboratory, purchasing satellite uplink modifications to enhance the off-campus delivery of such programs as the waste management an INEL courses, the purchase of instructional equipment, a computer network for the Controller's Office, and the building maintenance repairs. Also, $100,000 of these funds will be used to address the 1.3% holdback.

Agricultural Research and Extension ServiceThe FY91-92 unobligated carry-over funds in the Agricultural Research and Extension Service that are available for one-time expenditure in FY92 are $76,058. These funds will be used for one-time capital improvements at the Fermentation Laboratory.

W.O.I Veterinary MedicineThe FY91-92 unobligated carry-over funds in the W.O.I. Regional Program in Veterinary Medicine that are available for expenditure in FY92 are $22,495. These funds will be used to improve the animal holding pens at the Caine Center and to partially cover the 1.3% holdback.

W.A.M.I Medical EducationThe FY91-92 unobligated carry-over funds in the W.A.M.I. Medical Education Program that are available for expenditure in FY92 are $57,278. These funds will be used to provide temporary laboratory personnel and supplies and to offset the 1.3%holdback of $27,800.

Idaho Geological SurveyThe FY91-92 unobligated carry-over funds in the Idaho Geological Survey that are available for expenditure in FY92 are $20,664. These funds will be used to purchase water and chemical analysis equipment, water testing kits, laboratory carts, and data logger equipment. It will also be used to offset the 1.3% holdback.

Forest Utilization ResearchThe FY91-92 unobligated carry-over funds in the Forest Utilization Research Program that are available for expenditure in FY91 are $37,619. These funds will be used for one-time capital improvements for the Forest Nursery, equipment purchase, and the completion of FY91 policy analysis projects.

W.A.M.I Medical Education Program

An increase in the FY92 University of Washington Medical School's fees will decrease local miscellaneous receipts which are dedicated to the first-year program. Local receipts will be reduced by $27,000. There will be a corresponding reduction in operating expenses of $500 plus a reduction in the contract payment to the University of Washington of $26,500. Regents' approval is requested to make the changes noted below. These changes will be incorporated into the FY93 request. A detailed worksheet display is included as Exhibit D.

Reallocation

Requests approval to revise the FY1991-92 General Education budget as presented to the board at their June, 1991, meeting. As discussed during the presentation of the FY 1991-92 budget, the initial allocation includes the restructuring of the Provost/Vice Provost Office at a cost of $104,000. Approval is requested to transfer use of these funds from the initial plan to the following.
1. Extended University Services- $68,700 was proposed for allocation within General Education for the position of vice provost for extended university services to increase a position to full-time. The university does not intend to implement the position at this time and will, instead, allocate these funds to the College of Education teacher education program.

2. Teaching and Curriculum Development- $35,300 was allocated to provide a senior faculty position devoted to assisting with university-level programs in teaching and curriculum development . The University is committed to the need for teaching and curriculum development and will provide for this faculty involvement in the process.

Authorization to Sign Firm Natural Gas Agreement with Washington Water Power

The UI and Washington Water Power (WWP) are proposing the two entities enter into a new contract for delivery of natural gas services to the UI power plant. This agreement assures the UI of a firm schedule for natural gas. Exhibit E reflects the new terms and conditions of the agreement.

For the past several years, the university has operated with an interruptible contract. The contract provides very inexpensive natural gas to the power plant. However, this agreement was written during a period of time when gas prices were very high for "firm" schedules. Now that the price of gas is much lower and the conditions more flexible, it is in the best interest of the UI to be guaranteed delivery of gas when needed at a firm price.

Last winter, WWP requested that the UI cut back on its use of gas during the extreme cold period. Because the heating load of the campus exceeded the ability of the wood-fired boiler, the natural gas boiler was needed to augment the steam load. Since gas was needed, the WWP invoked a penalty of 100%. The firm price contract will eliminate this situation.

Approval to Amend Previously Approved Projects

As has been discussed at previous Finance Committee meetings, the university continues to pursue procedures that will improve and refine the development of the project scope and estimating for the initial board approval. As has been previously acknowledged, there are occasional projects that, after initiation, require significant re-evaluation, design, and subsequent modifications to the cost estimates. Board policy requires that any change in a project that exceeds 5% of the original estimate be returned to the board for approval. The following projects are submitted for approval of changes to the scope and budget as requested:

Swim Center Renovation -- Approved June, 1990
This project was originally approved by the regents in June, 1990 at an estimated cost of $40,000 using Athletic Recreation Reserve funds. The original project scope included replacement of shower tile and lockers. During project planning, it became apparent that substantial changes to the ventilation system were needed in order to correct the problem and to prevent premature deterioration of the tile and metal. This HVAC work accounts for an increased budget scope to $50,000. The fund source remains the auxiliary reserve fund.

Archive for Campus Reference Documents -- Approved June, 1990
This project was originally approved by the regents in April, 1990, at an estimated cost of $34,500 using University Facility Reserves. The original project scope included renovation of part of the Physical Plant Center to create a fire-proof vault for campus reference documents and remodel of the existing documentation has grown substantially over the past 10 years. Increased secure storage for irreplaceable building documents work space. Capital project documentation has grown substantially over the past 10 years. Increased secure building documents in the next several years (Library, Mines, and Earth Resources, Engineering, Agriculture). The project scope has been increased to create an archive area of sufficient size to meet not only current needs but future needs as well. Also included in the scope adjustment is work space for computing production. Revised project scope is $51,000. The source of funds is the University Facility Reserves.

9/20/91

Approval for New Projects

The UI has major capital project needs as has been previously discussed with the Board and continues to pursue a capital development plan to address as many projects of highest priority as aggressively as possible. The university continuously explores various funding alternatives to accommodate additional projects. Since the plan was forwarded to the board in May for approval by the board at the June meeting, the following projects have been developed and funding identified to add to the FY1991-92 capital budget for the University of Idaho.
a. Law Building Roof Replacement Project
Authorization is requested to proceed with roof replacement of the Law Building. The Legislature (Senate Bill 1249) and the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council allocated $220,000 for the project with the FY 1992 capital budget allocation. The Division of Public Works is administering the project. This project was inadvertently omitted from the list submitted in June, 1991; formal authorization is sought at this time.
b. Parker Farm Cold Storage Project
This project includes the addition of a freezer facility to the forest nursery complex located at Parker Far. The regents approved the project in September, 1989, for $242,320 from the Permanent Building Fund. Protection of valuable nursery stock is central to the research and service mission of the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Range Management's forestry nursery program. To remain viable, new space for seedling storage is needed immediately to replace an obsolete existing facility at Sweet Avenue, constructed in the 1930's. Replacement parts are no longer available, and the freezer unit is prone to frequent breakdowns that jeopardize the vulnerable seedlings. Seedling storage must be provided under reliable, environmentally controlled conditions. The university requests approval to change the fund source for the project from Permanent Building Fund to Forest Nursery Revenues, to increase the estimate to $262,100, and to proceed immediately to phase in the project. Sale and pricing for nursery stock will be adjusted to cover the costs of this facility.

c. The Sixth and Stadium Greenhouse Upgrade Project

Authorization is sought to begin the first phase of the Sixth/Stadium Greenhouse improvement program aimed at bringing plant growth facilities in line with current program and technological needs. This past year, a graduate program review team for the College of Agriculture identified several deficiencies that threaten the acceptance of research results from experiments conducted in the facility due to the condition and/or the absence of reliable environmental controls. Recruitment of faculty and research personnel has been difficult in the absence of suitable facilities. The first phase upgrade will allow for installation of an electrical transformer to augment the electrical capacity in the complex. More capacity is needed to hook up several growth chambers needed for research projects and for additional lighting in several houses. Subsequent phases, for which planning will begin later in 1991, will include acquisition of fully controlled, modern greenhouse units to replace the least functional of the existing houses (one-to three - year time frame). The initial project is estimated at $40,000 and will be funded from College of Agriculture sources.

d. Hazardous Waste Storage Facility Project

This project will construct an 800-square-foot storage building for the Safety Office to provide short-term storage of low-level radioactive waste and packaging materials. The University of Idaho's radioactive waste management program is regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and is strictly monitored for compliance. Segregated storage space for the materials was eliminated to allow construction of a student parking lot. The storage facility must be replaced and expended to accommodate the increase in use and handling of regulated materials. Radioactive waste at this facility is held for decay or pending removal to an off-sit disposal facility. The storage facility will be located adjacent to the main cost is $34,000. Fund source is the University facility Reserve and Parking Improvement Fund

e. FY92 Miscellaneous Safety
This program provides funding to address minor safety projects that are identified through the course of the year. Typically, the funds are spent on improvements in fire safety systems, building access, and other similar issues. Program cost is $30,000. Source of funds is General Education.

f. Building Relocation and Upgrade, Southwest Idaho Research and Extension Center, Caldwell
The UI has increased the emphasis in nutrition research at the Southwest Idaho Research and Extension Center. This involves metabolism and nutrition studies of barley as feedstock. Barley is a significant cash crop for Idaho and an increase in its use and usefulness as a feedstock has important economic impact for Idaho's agriculture industry. An existing facility at the experiment station needs to be relocated and modified to provide containment quarters for a small number (eight) of cattle for a series of research projects. Improvements will consist of sitework, a concrete foundation and slab, moving the existing 22' X 60" structure, and providing basic plumbing and electrical services. Value of the work is estimated at $60,000. Fund source is the College of Agriculture Research and Extension Service budget.

Purchase of Land from James B. DeMeerleer for Parking Lot Expansion

The university requests approval to purchase a small parcel of land and an old warehouse building from James B. DeMeerleer for $20,500. The purchase price has been negotiated based upon a previous appraisal of the land value and an estimate of the value and cost of removal of the warehouse building. For the total purchase price, the seller has agreed to remove the warehouse, leaving the land clear for parking lot expansion.

Source of funds is the parking lot improvement project previously approved by the regents in April, 1990.

The Pullman-Moscow Water Management Plan (For Information Only)

At the present time, the university, along with the city of Moscow, Latah County, Washington State University, city of Pullman, and Whitman County, are working with the state of Idaho and the state of Washington to develop a domestic water management plan. The plan is in draft form (Exhibit F) and each of the participating members is being asked to review the document for adoption This document has been in the works for the past two years and represents the efforts of several agency staff personnel and the general public.

The Pullman and Moscow areas rely almost entirely on ground water for their respective supply of municipal, institutional, and domestic water. Concern over declining ground water level in the area motivated the municipalities and universities to form the Pullman-Moscow Water Resources Committee (PMWRC). The state of Idaho, Department of Water Resources, has requested the PMWRC to address the declining ground water table issues and coordinate studies of the ground water as well as alternative water sources.

From this charge, the PMWRC has developed the Ground Water Management Plan. Chapter Six, page 29, of Exhibit F reflects the goals and the specific action plans for each of the members of the PMWRC. This chapter, along with the rest of the documents, is in draft form for each of the members governing bodies to review. After approval of the drafts, the PMWRC will conduct public hearings in October for additional comments. After acceptance of the public testimony, the final draft will be submitted to the states and the governing bodies to formally adopt. The draft is being reviewed by John Rosholt, attorney from Twin Falls, who has experience regarding water matters in Idaho.

Department of Environmental Quality -- Water Management Compliance Plan

The UI owns and operates a Public Drinking Water System. THis system is regulated by the Department of Health and Welfare, Division of Environmental Quality, in accordance with Title 1, Chapter 8, of the Idaho Regulations for Public Drinking Water Systems.

The UI experienced four violations of Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for Total Coliform between August, 1990, and August, 1991. As a result of these four violations, the DEQ asked the university to develop a water management action plan to address the coliform contamination problem. The university has met with DEQ to discuss both short- and long-term activities to remedy the problem. DEQ has has requested that the water management action plan be implemented as a legally enforceable compliance plan. The DEQ request and the proposed short- and long- term, activities for the UI are being reviewed by John Rosholt, attorney from Twin Falls, who has experience regarding water matters in Idaho. A final plan will be presented at the September regents' meeting to incorporate the recommendations of counsel and further information anticipated to be available prior to the meeting.

The UI has committed to several short-term activities which can be accomplished within the present funding allocation. Two other short-term items (I-Tank Coating, Instrumentation and Controls) are part of DPW 90-252, are not under UI control; and as such, the UI is unable to make a formal commitment to the timely completion of these projects.

All of the long-term activities are beyond the present funding allocation. The UI will be required to enter into a compliance plan which includes these long- term activities. However, the board will need to authorize its representative to sign the compliance agreement and to acknowledge that the long-range funding necessitated by the plan will require future funding obligations. Preliminary estimates suggest the long-term costs for compliance will be approximately $500,000. The university is prepared to assess adequate priority to future capital project funding to address this compliance requirement. Long-range funding information is shown in Exhibit G.

At present, the UI has agreed to the short-term activities under its control; but, further regents' action will be needed to finalize any of the long-term activities. The short- and long-term activities are shown in Exhibit G.

Teacher Education

Dr. Zinser informed the State Board of the following activities of the UI College of Education and the areas which the College is giving more attention:

A collaborative developed to provide an opportunity through the university environment to bring school personnel, university faculty, policy makers, private sector leaders, and parents together to talk about issues and development in schooling and teach preparation.
The enhancement of preparation of school administrators, both in Boise as well as in southeastern Idaho. The university will also offer a Public Utilities Education Course for leaders in the public utilities area.
Science, math, and technology program initiatives offered to improve the teaching of science, math, and technology in the public schools.
The model classroom called "Classroom 2000" is being developed in the Couer d'Alene Center which will demonstrate teaching, evaluation, testing, and displaying of state-of-the-art science and math knowledge, pedigogy, and the instrumentation and technology associated with math and science.
Enhancing the efforts to recruit bright and capable people into teaching. The student teaching experience is being reformulated, and doubling the time in their senior year in the practical teaching environment. Also, the university will be building strong relationships with the schools and the student teachers the first year after graduation.

Mrs. Fields commended Dr. Zinser on what the College of Education was doing. She then made the following motion:

It was moved by Mrs. Fields and seconded by Mr. Fay to establish within the role and mission of LCSC, BSU, ISU, and UI a primary emphasis of the School/Colleges of Education with teacher and administrator education programs. Each institution will bring to the State Board of Education during institutional time their short- and long-term academic program and financial plans to effect this emphasis at the November, 1991, meeting for consideration and approval.

Discussion was held on whether the word "primary" should be used, as this would have a definite effect on the emphasis placed on programming within the School/Colleges of Education and their funding. Other words discussed were "priority" or "enhanced".

It was moved by Mr. Hinckley and seconded by Mr. Mosman to insert the word "priority" and to strike the word "primary" in the original motion.

After more discussion the two motions were withdrawn.

Mrs. Fields asked the presidents to come back to the November Board meeting with the implications of making the School/Colleges of Education a primary emphasis, at which time she will offer another motion. She hoped that the Board would stay steadfast in making the School/Colleges of Education a priority item.

Institutional Reports on Teacher Education

University of Idaho- Drs. Zinser and Gentry
Dr. Zinser commented that the area of teacher preparation and schooling and the UI's contribution to it is extremely important to the UI. This is a high priority at the institution, but she was not prepared to state that it is the top priority when ranking the colleges within the university. She felt the institution needs to take a comprehensive look at the institution in response to, and in light of, the structure of some of the common themes, i.e., the Strong Start Program and the initiative that the Department of Education is proposing. Dr. Zinser stated that once this is accomplished, a written report will be sent to the Board. Dr. Gentry informed the Board of the Partnership Schools program the UI would like to initiate.

The document covering UI's teacher/educator programs is on file as a permanent exhibit in the Office of the State Board of Education.

Mrs. Fields asked if she, Mr. Evans, and any other interested Board members, could continue working with the presidents and deans in a subcommittee fashion in order to determine some funds, a plan of movement, strategies, etc., and bring the findings back to the Board. President Mahoney appointed Mrs. Fields chairperson of that subcommittee. Mr. Evans, Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Anderson will also participate.

Mr. Evans recommended that the subcommittee take the report generated from the ESC Conference and the reports submitted by the institutions, spend some time in Presidents' Council, and then meet with presidents and deans together in order to begin moving education to a higher level of quality.

11/22/91

Waiver of Tuition and Fees

Approval is requested for the university to establish a procedure for the College of Law, apart from exchange programs, whereby certain students could complete a portion of their J.D. requirements at other institutions as visiting students enrolled for a minimum of 10 semester hours. The students will be required to register and pay applicable tuition and fees at the host institution and subsequently transfer the earned credits back to the University of Idaho.

Students who desire to participate in certain study abroad programs that are not exchange programs, are required to register and pay applicable tuition and fees to either the host institution or to the coordinating program. Upon completion of the study abroad program, students desiring to participate in the above situations by waiving applicable tuition or fees for students receiving financial aid and registering and paying applicable tuition or fees at an outside location where no instructional costs are incurred by the university. The university proposes to charge a $75 processing fee for accommodating these students. This fee would cover the cost of processing financial aid, registration, and transfers of credits.

11/22/91

Authorization of Bond Financing, Series 1992 Bonds

The university proposes to issue approximately $6,070,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds to finance the construction and acquisition of the three projects described below. The bonds will be issued as student fee revenue bonds and will be paid from revenues derived from the use of facilities constructed or acquired with the proceeds from the issuance of the bonds.

Projects to be financed are:

1. Central Mall Chilled Water Plant. The facility will be constructed at Renfrew Hall and near the university Library which is currently being expanded and renovated. The central mall satellite chiller will provide chilled air to the Library, Renfrew Hall, and eventually to the University Classroom Center. The facility will provide more economical and environmentally appropriate cooling of air for these facilities than would be possible if three separate chillers were provided. The facility is expected to cost approximately $1,500,000. It will be completed in time for occupancy of the new addition to the Library next year. To repay that portion of the bonds assignable to the chiller project, the university will obligate a portion of the university utility budget anticipating long-term cost efficiencies in production of chilled air, much in the same way as is currently being realized for those buildings receiving heat from the wood-fired heating facility now in operation. ( see item 5.43).

2. Family Housing Improvements, New Units and a Child Day Care Center, Phase I. Family housing expansion, as detailed in item 5.45, and selected infrastructure improvements will be constructed among the existing family housing facilities on campus. (Phase II will be a project to provide approximately one-,two-, and three-bedroom apartments.) In addition, a child day care facility will be constructed for use by the children of residents and other students, faculty, and staff, and an existing 2,4000 square foot facility will be converted into a community center. The construction of the Phase I family housing project is expected to cost approximately $2,259,000 and will be completed in time for spring 1993 occupancy. Of the total project, $2,259,000 and will be completed in time for spring 1993 occupancy. Of the total project, $259,000 will be funded from housing reserves, and $2,000,000 from bonded debt. Funding for debt service will be from the rental revenue of the family housing units and rental of the child care facility to the child care program. (See item 5.45).

3. Graduate Student Housing and Conference Facilities. The acquisition of a local motel and conversion of the rental rooms to efficiency apartments will accommodate approximately 80 graduate students. The conference and common areas of the facility will be adapted for use as conference facilities for meetings sponsored by the university through the services of the University Continuing Education. Occupancy of the facility is expected for fall 1992 and the conference center will be ready for use by Jul 1, 1992. Acquisition of the property will not exceed $1,100,000 and renovations will cost approximately $500,000. The debt service for this portion will be from rental revenue of the graduate student housing and of conference facilities for the conference and enrichment programs. (See item 5.44).

The bonds are to be secured by a pledge of revenues assigned by the university. To achieve the lowest interest rates on the bonds, the pledged revenues will include a covenant to assign, if necessary, a portion of the revenues derived from the Matriculation Fee collected from all students attending the university on the Moscow campus. In addition, the bond documents provide for "pledged revenues" to include the net revenues of the project being financed-- in this case assign a portion of the utility budget, rents and charges for the use of the housing, conferences, and day care facilities being acquired with the proceeds of the bonds. With adequate fees and charges established, there is no intent for using any funds from the Matriculation Fee. This financing structure is similar to that of the bonds issued by the university in July 1990. The bond resolution will permit issuance of additional bonds for future projects using pledged revenues as the source of repayment.

Documents relating to the issuance and sale of the bonds are being prepared now. The university expects to obtain a rating of "A" or better on the bonds and may offer the bonds with bond insurance guaranteeing payment thus receiving a "AAA/Aaa" rating from bond rating agencies. It is expected that the bonds will be offered "subject to regents' approval" to prospective investors prior to the November regents' meeting, so that final interest rates on the bonds will be included in the bond resolution to be adopted on Nov. 22, 1991.

Cooperative Agreement/UI-USSR Academy of National Economy (Exhibit C)

Approval is requested to sign an agreement with the Academy of National Economy USSR to establish a cooperative arrangement for phased exchanges between UI and the Academy of professors and lecturers, students, cooperative research, and agriculture industry professionals. This agreement for the University of Idaho will be administered by the College of Agriculture.

This friendship and cooperation agreement will be enacted by periodic task orders that are prepared jointly either during site visits or through correspondence. The task orders will specify proposed activities that are likely to take place , for example, exchanges of scholars, short-term training, joint research, or service efforts. Before being implemented, both parties will agree, in writing, on the details of each activity. The task orders will include names of faculty and staff members, schedules, a budget, and other data necessary for efficient implementation. The task order must be approved by both parties and it will explain the source of funding and any financial requirements or cost-sharing between institutions.

This agreement will have an initial duration of five years and will be in force from the date of the signatures. A formal review will be conducted at the end of three years. Extensions will be negotiated and agreed upon by both parties.

11/22/91

MOU, UI/UW Cooperative Extension Services (Exhibit D)

Approval is requested to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Wyoming to offer joint Cooperative Extension Services in Teton County, Idaho, and Teton County, Wyoming. These bordering County Extension offices have mutual clientele needs that cannot be met by present staffing. This MOU would serve both extension offices extending skills that can benefit all clientele.

The terms and conditions of this agreement shall be and remain in force and effect from the date of signing until June 20,1993.

11/22/91

Capital Construction Projects--Renfrew Hall Facility Upgrade

Approval to Amend Previously Approved Projects -- Renfrew Hall Facility Upgrade
This project was originally approved by the regents in September 1989 based upon a request developed in 1987. In February 1991 an NSF Research Facility Modernization grant for $1,300,000 was received and in March 1991 a $2,000,000 allocation from the Idaho Legislature was received. Design of the project began immediately to meet an ambitious National Science Foundation grant period ( the award expires December 31,1992). The science programs housed in Renfrew Hall need to remain fully operational throughout construction; so, a phased construction approach was adopted to deliver the project within the schedule. An initial construction bid was received and accepted in June 1991; the second bid will be received November 7, 1991.

A project status review including the SBOE Facilities Planner was held in mid-August 1991 and addressed needed increases in scope and cost. The adjustments were primarily to accommodate larger HVAC/electrical systems to meet greater utility demands planned by building users, to modify walls and door assemblies for safe exit corridors, and to add a fire sprinkler system to the facility. In September 1991 a minor explosion occurred in the facility further sensitizing university officials to the inadequacy of safety systems. Renfrew Hall is the university's most intensively used facility and is also one of the buildings in greatest risk due to the types of teaching and research programs housed there. Although not required by code, the university now believes installation of a fire sprinkler system will enhance protection for building users and the facility itself.

University officials representing the users and those responsible for the project administration immediately undertook a private foundation initiative to supplement the budget. Consideration also continues for possible deferrals/deletions that could be added at a later date.

The current total project estimate is $4,100,000, requiring additional funds of $800,000. Bids will be received on November 7 and following that date a current cost assessment of the project made. The project approval forms describing changes have been reviewed with the SBOE Facility Planner. The university requests authorization to proceed with the project at its current scope. University officials will work with board staff to provide more information regarding the final fund amount required and fund sources before the November regents' meeting.

Approval for New Projects

Since the capital project plan was forwarded to the Board for approval in June and amended in September, the following projects have been developed, and funding identified, expanding the FY 1991-92 capital budget for the university.
A. Admissions Office Renovation Project
The university requests regents' approval to remodel 4,800 net assignable square feet in the basement and first floor of the Administration Office Building to create an office for the new Director of Admissions and to improve office layout for the Admissions and Registrar's offices. This will enhance service efficiency and provide the necessary support for upgrades in computer information processing. The project will include installation/removal of walls, upgrades to the electrical and HVAC systems, and finish improvements. The project will be completed in phases. The first phase will include development of office spaces and room configuration modifications. The second phase will include upgrades to the HVAC system. Estimated project cost is $185,000. Fund source is General Education capital project funding.
B. Central Mall Satellite Chiller Plant
The university requests regents' approval to construct a satellite chiller plant adjacent to the southwest corner of Renfrew Hall, serving buildings located in the central mall area of campus. The study commissioned by the Division of Public Works which was conducted by CH2M Hill evaluated building cooling systems on campus and recommended a satellite chiller system approach to provide future facility cooling needs. Satellite chiller plants are more energy efficient and cost effective than stand alone systems. The systems modernization project in Renfrew Hall and expansion and renovation of the Library, now underway, both require cooling capacity beyond what existing systems can deliver. This chiller facility will include construction of a support structure, building enclosure, purchase and installation of all chiller equipment, connections to the buildings served, and development of the central distribution system. Estimated project cost is $1,500,000. Full project documentation has been reviewed with the SBOE Facility Planner. Fund source will be bond revenues. (See item 4.81)
C. Acquisition of Graduate Student Housing and Conference Space
The university requests regents' approval to purchase an existing facility currently used as a motel at the intersection of State Highway 8 and Line balance of the facility will be used as a conference facility, including offices and meeting room space for university events sponsored by the University of Idaho Conferences and Enrichment and Continuing Education Departments.

The 81 motel rooms will be converted to studio apartments of various sizes to provide accommodations for approximately 80 graduate students. University housing needs are critical because of housing shortages within Moscow. A well documented community-wide housing shortage is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.

The availability of adequate housing to prospective students is vital to the university's ability to provide educational opportunities to those who seek them. Acquisition cost is estimated at $1,100,000 and conversion of the facility is expected to cost approximately $500,000. The source of funds will be bond revenues. No appraisal was made of the property and an official waiver of board rule 8.00 C.2,2,5 is requested. THe asking price is less than the assessed value. Further, the purchase price plus renovation costs amount to approximately $31 per square foot, considerably less than new construction for comparable space. (See item 4.81)

D. Expansion of Family Housing
The university requests regents' approval to expand family housing units in the existing South Hill Terrace Family Housing facilities located on the southeast edge of campus. Approval to expend $500,000 to begin planning and design for the expansion was sought and received from the regents at their June 1991 meeting. The initial project (Phase I) adds 12 new units to the family housing inventory (10 new apartments and conversion of the old child care facility into two new apartments). constructs an approximately 10,000 GSF child care facility to meet the needs of residents, students, faculty, and staff; and converts the use of a 2,400 GSF facility into a laundry/community building to serve the family housing community. THe project also includes selected infrastructure improvements to the site such as: enhanced water pressure and sewer services, improved traffic access, circulation, and parking, and improved safety features such as lighting. Currently, housing for married students with children is especially difficult to find in Moscow. The university has had waiting lists for family housing the past few years. Based upon projections made providing facilities to meet a five-year anticipated need beyond a 1993 occupancy date(to 1998) for university family housing facilities. Total housing reserve and $2,000,000 from bond proceeds, repaid from housing revenues. (See item 4.81)

THe university is proceeding with development plans to add approximately 85 units in a Phase II project. This project will expand family housing into an additional 12 acre site immediately to the east of the current facility. Plans are to develop design and infrastructure criteria, financing parameters, and request proposals on a design/build basis to complete this project. The contractor proposals for Phase II will be received in March 1992. It is the university's preference to assure cost estimates of the Phase II expansion before seeking board approval and financing this portion of the project. The structure of the bond sale (See item 4.81), if approved, would allow the university to issue a series "B: bond in late spring to finance the Phase II addition following action by the regents in April.

Purchase of Prichard Art Gallery

Re: Regents' Agenda Item 5.51 -- May 16, 1985

The Prichard Art Gallery has been located in leased premises in downtown Moscow since 1983. The regents authorized the university in 1985 to lease a building located at 414 South Main Street in Moscow, owned by Dr. and Mrs. Leon F. Neuenschwander. Dr. Neuenschwander is a full-time faculty member at the university's College of Forestry, Wildlife and Range Sciences. The gallery remains in that location today, although the original five-year lease has expired and the lease is currently on a month-to-month basis. The current monthly lease payment is $2,640. An Idaho State General Certified Appraiser has recently appraised the property and determined its fair market value as an art gallery to be $332,000. Current low interest rates and a bargain sale purchase price make it financially feasible for the university to borrow money from a bank and buy the property rather than continue to lease it. First Security Bank of Idaho, the university's general services bank, has offered to loan the university up to $212,000. The difference between the appraised value ($332,000) and the purchase price ($212,000) represents a charitable contribution which the Neuenschwanders will donate to the university under the bargain sale concept.

A contract signed by the Neuenschwanders and Jerry N. Wallace, Financial Vice President, is marked Exhibit E. The agreement is contingent on regents' approval and the availability of financing. The university requests regents' ratification of Exhibit E, the contract, and adoption of Exhibit F, the Resolution and Loan Agreement.

Experimental Forest Shop Facility - Princeton, Idaho

The university requests regents' approval to purchase three adjoining lots comprising 1.27 acres located in Princeton, Idaho, to serve as shop and storage headquarters for the Experimental Forest.

The 7,300-acre Experimental Forest is managed by the College of Forestry Wildlife and Range Sciences to enhance the educational, demonstration, and research functions of the college and the university. The major access route to the Experimental Forest is through Priceton. Earlier investigations have demonstrated that the Princeton area is strategically located and is the best location for staging operations. Cost savings are demonstrated in vehicle use and equipment transportation.

The college rented a one-acre lot and shop facility in Princeton for 10 years at ta very reasonable rate. This facility was sold to a private party and recently the Sweet Avenue Nursery site in Moscow has served as the staging area and shop.

The Princeton area offers a number of attributes that are not available on the existing forest land base, including electrical power, telephone, water, sewer, garbage, fire protection, all-weather access without snow plowing, and security. The location in the Princeton area provides university presence in the outlying community.

Mr. Wayne Hemmelman has offered to sell the 1.27 acres to the university for $13,500, a price below the assessed value. The property includes the following four buildings: a two-car garage in good condition (wood frame, concrete foundation and metal roof); a barn in fair condition (wood frame); a pump house in fair condition (wood frame); and a woodshed in poor condition (wood frame). Funding for this acquisition is from the Experimental Forst's management account.

Kienbaum Property - Clarkia Fossil Bed Site Agreement

Re: Regents Agenda Item 13.2, August 11, 1980

The referenced agenda item advised the regents the university had established the Tertiary Research Center for paleontologist studies to develop the 20-million-year-old fossil bed site near Clarkia, Idaho.

The owner of the Clarkia Fossil Bed Site, Mr. Francis Kienbaum, has allowed the university access to this unique research site since its discovery in 1971. Continued access to and tightened control over activities at the site area deemed essential by the university and the Tertiary Research Center. Exhibit G consists of two documents which briefly discuss the importance of the Clarkia Fossil Beds.

Mr. Kienbaum has indicated that in return for an annual payment of $2,750 per year for five years, he will grant the university the right to control access and activities at the Clarkia Fossil Bed Site. The university requests regents' approval and acceptance of the five-year lease agreement (Exhibit H).

Financial Assurance of Nuclear Regulatory Commission

The university requests regents' approval for the financial vice president to execute the State of Intent (Exhibit I).

The University of Idaho holds a broad license from the Idaho Radiation Control Board (IRCB) to possess and use radioactive materials for research purposes. Because the IRCB has turned over to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) oversight of the use of radioactive materials within the state, the University of Idaho is in the process of applying for an NRC broad scope radioactive materials license. NRC requires license applicants to (1) issue a Statement of Intent providing assurance that funding will be forthcoming for decommissioning the facility if the licensee ever ceases using radioactive materials, and (2) inform their funding bodies of decommissioning requirements and costs, and the eventual need for funding. The amount of the funding commitment needed is determined by NRC based on total potential inventory of radioactive materials on sites covered by the license.

11/22/91

Statewide Public Radio

Pursuant to discussion at the January Board meeting, Jerold Garber reported to the committee on discussions held with institutional representatives concerning potential development of a statewide public radio system.

Mr. Garber commented that he had visited with several members of the legislature regarding this issue, and it was his understanding that the higher educaiton budget will not include any additional funding for statewide public radio service.

He said there is already present a technological infrastructure in a statewide interconnection system that is operated by IEPBS; it would make good sense to use this system for shipping public radio signals. There might also be other entities that have similar technological infrastructures already in existence that could be used in a similar fashion.

Mr. Garber volunteered to undertake a study to determine the need for public radio services. He suggested that a technological study be done, which he also volunteered to conduct.

Dr. Barton said if the objective is establishing public radio service statewide, then a system is not necessarily needed. The study would need to indicate if there are pockets of the state that do not currently receive the service. Also, are there other reasons for expending NPR service? Mr. Garber said there is one reason for expending the system, that being to develop a system within Idaho rather than relying on services out of Pullman and Spokane, which do not operate under the purview of the State Board.

Dr. Barton asked if there was another alternative other than going to a fullblown NPR system where IEPBS could facilitate those Idaho higher education institutions in developing a public radio station who currently do not have one. Mr. Garber said that IEPBS could certainly help them with that effort.

The presidents gave the pros and cons of establishing public radio stations at ISY and LCSC and their views of conducting a study to determine the need for an NPR system.

Dr. Barton recommended that, if a survey is to be done, it be conducted by a subcommittee of the State Board, that the subcommittee be chaired by a Board member, and the project be cooperative effort of IEPBS, the college and univeristies, and the existing campus stations. Dr. Barton pointed out that if a NPR system was developed, that it would not be established with state funds, but with private and federal funds. Also, such a system would not duplicate or take away services that currently exist.

It was moved by Mrs. Fields, seconded by Mrs. Bilyeu, and carried that the State Board of Education conduct statewide hearings to assess the future needs of public radio in Idaho.

2/20/91

Reporting of Outside Income

The committee discussed a proposed Board policy to require more complete reporting of outside income earned by university employees.

Discussion was held regarding job-related outside employment of university employees as compared to working in or owning a business that is not related to their area of expertise.

The presidents gave their views on outside employement of professional employees. Points covered were:

The legal issue involved if names of individuals were released who would not comply with a Board member's request for such information. Mr. Hall said until such time as the Board policy is changed, the institutions should follow their own policy.
Whether such a policy would include reporting of summer employment when faculty were not instructing.
The possibility that there would be a large number of people not covered by the policy, i.e., faculty who are hired by outside firms to do marketing studies and classified employees.
The stipulation of having some outside income made public and some not. The policy should have all outside income made public, or none at all.
Dr. Zinser expressed her thoughts regarding the distiction between conflicts of commitment, conflicts of value, and conflicts of judgment.

It was recommended that the Board staff take the current language of the proposed policym ask the institutions to give their input on the language, then bring the revised policy back during the March meeting for first reading at the committee level.

2/20/92

Student Health Insurance

Kevin Stinger, Student Body President at ISU; Amy Anderson, Student Body President from the University of Idaho; and Keith Miller, Student Body President at Lewis-Clark State College, adressed the committee on student health insurance benegits.

Major points covered were:

Only a small percentage of students at ISU, UI, and LCSC are enrolled in the student health insurance program.
Premiums are quire high--$175 per semester at ISU; $150 at UI for a basic plan, and $291 a year for an optional plan. Deductibles are also quite high.
Quality of coverage varies from institution to institution.

Recommended solutions:

To have the legislature act on this issue;
To have the institutions participate in a group plan;
To have the State Board of Education investigate the status of student health insurance and determine the changes that need to be made, i.e., affordability, better coverage, and better accessibility to all students.

Dr. Selland recommended a fourth solution--that being to require every student registering to pay for health insurance.

Mr. Mosman said Mr. Miller has been Acting Dean for a period of time. He advises the Board that Dr. Hoover had reported that Mr. Miller has done an excellent job and that there have been positive comments on him from lawyers, judges and the Bar Association as well as from the School of Law faculty. Mr. Eaton said he was also contacted by a representative of the Bar Association and advised that they support Mr. Miller being appointed to the position. *It was moved by Mr. Mosman, seconded by Dr. Fox and carried* to approve the appointment of John A.

University Commons	Dr. Dillon said he had concerns regarding increases in fees and funding requests, which come from all of the institutions, for the issuance of tax-exempt bonds. He asked that the percentage of total funding in tax-exempt bonds for each institution be provided to the Board. Mr. Hess asked what percent of student enrollment decline would put the bonds at risk. Mr. Davis asked if the collateral would be the revenue from the bonds themselves. Mr. Hess responded that was correct and felt everyone should be aware of the potential. Mr. Eaton said that after the second year, the bonds generate excess revenue which allows for some flexibility; however, should something detrimental occur, the state is not responsible for the bonds and there is risk of them being assumed by the bondholders. Dr. McWilliam asked members for assurance that they understood they would be voting for all of the bond issues listed. Members responded that they did understand. *It was moved by Mr. Davis, seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request for Board ratification of an increase in facility fees for the University Commons by $45 per semester, approval of the final budget for $16,500,5000, authorization to construct the University Commons, and authorization for the issuance of Series 1997 Bonds, including approval of the Supplemental Resolutions for the bonds as has been approved by university counsel.

KCP International Language Institute and KCP International USA, Inc. Agreement	Dr. Dillon said that prior to the formation of the Alternative Delivery System Committee, this proposal, by law, would have been denied because the school although internationally recognized is not accredited. With the new regulations approval is postponed for one month so the faculty senate can review it and provide its recommendations; upon its endorsement the program will be presented for Board approval. Ms. Meyer asked when the new law went into effect. Dr. Barton responded that it would go into effect July 1, 1997. He suggested that since it has been signed the Board begin following the procedure immediately and start the review process; however, the credits can not be accepted until the new law goes into effect. Dr. Dillon said he wanted to publicly thank Mr. Eaton and the Legislative Committee for all of their work in getting this accomplished. The Committee agreed by consensus to approve the agreement between the University of Idaho and KCP International Language Institute and KCP International USA, Inc. (per the exhibit).	3/20/97	17
Engineering Management Cooperation Program	The Master of Engineering Management degree was to be initiated in southeastern Idaho followed by implementation in southwestern Idaho. Since implementation in southwestern Idaho has not occurred, it is the Committee's opinion that it would be beneficial for the Statewide Engineering Advisory Council to put the issue on its April 4th agenda. Mr. Davis said it would be May or later before the Council could review the program and issue its report. Ms. Meyer asked the Council to give the AA/PC a status report at the April Board meeting.	3/20/97	18
Approval of Notice of Intent: B.A/B.S. Music	Approval of NOI B.A./B.S. Music: Applied Music, History and Literature and Theory. Ms. Meyer advised that because this is a request to make minimal modifications to programs already in place, the Committee recommends approval of the NOI, without a submission of a full proposal. *It was moved by Dr. Dillon, seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried* to approve the Notice of Intent as requested. In addition, the development and submission of a full proposal is not requires. (Motion #8)	3/20/97	18

UI Riverbend Research and Training Park	Dr. Hoover updated the Board on the progress of the project and responded to questions the Board asked of him at its January meeting. At its January meeting the Board gave the University the authority to hire a manager for the park. The position was advertised and the search committee is now in the process of checking references on the three finalists. Dr. Hoover has responded in writing to questions and concerns raised by Board members. University personnel have visited with members of the University of Idaho Foundation. University personnel have visited with large numbers of the members of the communities. Discussions have been held with a number of possible tenants. Mr. Maholon :Lonny" Park, Executive Director of the University of Idaho Foundation, addressed the Board and advised that the Foundation, after considerable discussion, unanimously voted to accept the gift upon the meeting of certain conditions. He read from the minutes of the meeting: "It was moved by Bob Alexander that the UI Foundation accept the Jacklin Company offer to give 20 acres to the Riverbend Research and Training Park in Post Falls, subject to the following conditions: That the University of Idaho have a physical presence in the Riverbend Research and Training Park, and That after exervise and due diligence, the Foundation is satisfied with the plan to develop the structure and operation of the facility. Mr. Parks advised that the motion was passed unanimously by the Foundation Board. He said they are looking forward to assisting the Board of Education in the development of the project. Mr. Jim Hawkins addressed the board and said he had attended the Foundation meeting and was impressed by the turnout and enthusiasm of the Foundation members for the project. Mr. Hawkins said they are discussing occupancy of the facility with several companies which do research. Mr. Eaton said he wrote and asked questions and received a response to them. However he felt there were items discussed in the correspondence which needed clarification. One, this body functions both as the State Board of Education and the Board of Regents. Second the agreement provided that the University of Idaho will help in the economic development the Post Falls area. He felt the University of Idaho should be encouraged to assist in economic development around the state and not just in the Post Falls area, and that the University of Idaho could not be prohibited by the agreement from assisting in other areas around the state. *It was moved by Dr. Fox and seconded by Dr. Dillon* to accept the Riverbend Research and Training Park report. *No vote taken. The motion was lost.* (motion #32) Ms. Meyer said she had concerns about the funding for programs and that Dr. Hoover addressed her concerns by discussing in the report the reallocation of funds. She was also concerned about how the project will happen and thanked the Foundation for its assistance. Mr. Hess said he endorsed the project and felt it was moving in the direction that education needed to go. He asked if the agreements for the responsibility for infra structure would be brought to the Board for approval. Dr. Barton said they did not need to be as the agreements are between the University and the Foundation. Ms. Meyer asked if the State Board was responsible for Foundation activities. Dr. Barton said the rule of thumb was that the Board's relationship to the Foundation should be an arm length's distance away. When the Foundation gives money to the University for educational purposes, the Board is responsible for those funds as they then become state funs; however when there are agreements between the UI and the Foudnation, the Board does not have to approve them. Dr. Hoover said the Board would be kept updated on all of the Foundation's activities and transactions. Mr. Hess asked if his interpretation was correct that the Foundation would take responsibility for the infrastructure and development costs which relieves the Board of Education/Board of Regents of any fiduciary responsibility. If this is the situation, he is satidfied and fully supports the project. However if there are any residual responsibilities for the Regents, then there must be accountability. Mr. Park responded that there are no residual responsibilities for the Board. Mr. Eaton felt that the State Board of Education's motion was predicated on the University of Idaho Foundation having satisfied the conditions of its motion that give rise to the transfer of the property. He said he did not want the motion to imply that the proposal was approved if one or the other of the Foundation Board's conditions mentioned in its motion were not met. Mr. Mosman asked for clarification of the process. His interpretation was that the Foundation dows not sign on until the University has a presence and during that gap, the Board of Regents authorized the University to go forward. Dr. Hoover responded that the Board's action authorized the University initially to go forward with the limitation placed on it was on the acceptance of the gift until due diligence and other questions had been satisfactorily answered. Mr. Mosman said his reading was that until the Foundation comes on, the Board of Regents is in teh ink; and then when the FOundation comes on, they take the Board out. Dr. Hoover said there wold be no change in the reality of what there is right now until there is a figt of land, which means until the conditions established by the Foundation have been met. Mr. Hawkins added that there would be no transfer of title until the two Foundation stipulations are met. Jacklin will not sign the deed until they are convinced that the University of Idaho will have a presence. *It was moved by Ms. Meyer, seconded by Dr. Fox and carried* that the State Board of Education and Regents of the University of Idaho approve the University of Idaho providing educational services in theh Post Falls area at the Riverbend Research and Training Park, according to plans that will develop with the University of Idaho Foundation. (Motion #33)	4/17/97	34-36
Telecommunication Infrastructure Project (TIP) for Greek Living Groups	*It was moved by Dr. Dillon seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request to extend the TIP system to the Greek living groups, with costs to be paid by them, to provide service consistent with telecommunication services provided throughout the campus. *Mr. Eaton Abstained.* (Motion #26)	4/17/97	18
Sale of Residence to Kappa Delta Sorority	Mr. Mosman advised that he was contacted by an honors student regarding the location for the honors program if the sale was approved. Dr. Hoover responded that another facility would be provided to the honors program. *It was moved by Dr. Dillon, seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request to negotiate and sign necessary documents to sell, transfer, and convey to the Kappa Delta Sorority the former Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority residence currently occupied by the Honors Program Students together with certain personal property, and to lease to Kappa Delta Sorority for a term not to exceed 99 years the real property described in Exhibit D.

Student Fees-FY98 Fee Increases	Mr. Eaton asked the presidents to address the Board and indicate why the amounts are justified. Dr. Robert Hoover reviewed the request and said that the most significant fee increase at the University of Idaho was in Facilities Fees, which makes up nearly half of the request. Dr. Dillon said he could perceive a change in the process in that the Board is now asking the presidents to supply a service and to fund that service on the backs of the students, because there is no other source. He said he would vote for the increases because there are no other options at the present time. Mr. Eaton said he would vote in favor of the increases with the expectation that following the vote, the Board come to a resolution and for a policy on the issue. Mr. Hess said he would support the increase but felt that at some time, a point of diminishing returns would be reached, and that this would only be a band aid effort to address a larger problem. Mr. Mosman said he would vote against the increase. He felt the technology fee definition (a fee charged for campus technology enhancements and operations) as he interpreted it was the same as tuition. He said he would continue to fight against tuition disguised as fees and that if there were a vote on changing the constitution, he would vote for that change. Dr. McWilliam said the Board has discussed this issue several times and asked that it be put on either the June or September agenda so the Board could take a stand before the legislature goes into session. Mr. Hess felt the problem is that the Board is revisiting the issue, that it has drawn a line in the sand which does not hold. He felt the Board should make some recommendations and take some definitive actions. *It was moved by Dr. Fox, seconded by Dr. McWilliam and carried* to approve the fees as presented in Exhibit #2 for Boise State University, Idaho State University, Lewis-Clark College, the University of Idaho and Eastern Idaho Technical College with corrections as noted.

Mosman Letter/Kermit Davis	Mr Kirby Nelson reviewed his recommendations: All contract, coaching contracts in particular, should be formal documents and should be brought to the Board for approval. The Board should clarify its policy regarding bonuses and merit pay should be required to report to the Board eligibility for bonuses and the payment(s) of those bonuses. Send a copy of the report to the Latah County Prosecutor for review. Explore seeking restitution of the $20,000 by contacting the Attorney General, the Controller and the State Treasurer to get their opinion on the Board's ability to collect some or all of the funds. Mr. Nelson advised that Dr. Hoover had received a letter from Mr. Davis informing him that the Louisiana State University Athletic Foundation will reimburse the state. Dr. Hoover said he did not feel this situation would be covered as the premium amount for the coverage as the premium amount for the coverage would be to high. However, he will check with the UI's Risk Management. *It was moved by Mr. Hess, seconded by Mr. Davis and carried (Mr. Mosman abstained)* to receive Mr. Nelson's recommendations, excluding recommendation #3. *The motion was amended* to include those funds which may not be identified here, but which the state lost through this process be recovered. (Motion #3)	6/19/97	6
Underprepared and Unprepared Adults	The committee discussed ways to address this segment of the population and how to get necessary funding. FY98 funding and the FY99 funding and the FY99 budget requests were discussed. Four funding sources were identified: Higher Education Community Colleges Vocational Education K-12 The amount being spent in this area is $880,000, which amounts to $.80 for every $1,000 spent on education for a segment of the population that numbers about 261,000 or 188,000 working people. A subcommittee was appointed to address the issue and bring back recommendations on what the ultimate goal should be. The FY99 vocational education budget should be 25 percent or $600,000, whichever is greater, of the enhancement requests of the community colleges, the college and universities. Additionally, the SDOE was asked to include $500,000 in their budget requests. *It was moved by Dr. Mc. William, seconded by Dr. Dillon and carried* to approve the recommendations of the 70 Percent Committee's FY98 allocation of the college and universities discretionary funds for $447,800 to be allocated : Boise State University $106,000; Idaho State University $106,000; Lewis-Clark State College $105,800, and the University of Idaho $30,000 with the additional $100,000 to Idaho State University in EWA equity. (Motion #35) *It was moved by Dr. Dillon seconded by Mr. Eaton and carried* to approve the 70 Percent Committee's FY99 Budget Guidelines to serve the Under prepared and the Unprepared and will consist of the following: (Motion #36) The Department of Education will include a $500,000 increase in Adult Base Education. Vocational education will take 25 percent of the increase or $600,000, whichever is greater. Dr. Bowen asked that it be stressed that the requests are the result of policy changes. He expressed concerns that is has been sometime since there has been money approved beyond MCO; therefore, the money will have to come from reallocations. Dr. Dillon said the committee did not take that position, that it is aware that enhancement funds may not be appropriated. Ms. Meyer said that at this time it might only be a policy change; that it may be sometime in the future before actual monies can be expended. Mr. Eaton suggested either the 70 Percent Committee or the Finance Committee address the problem of a program being funded by two sources. He felt it might be better to place all of the money into one funding source. Mr. Hess agreed, but felt it was a little premature to make that decision. He felt part of the solution might come from the management review study. *It was moved by Dr. Dillon, seconded by Mr. Eaton and carried* to ask the community colleges and the college and universities to provide additional education services for the under prepared and unprepared adult population. This decision will account 25 percent of the total enhancement request. The University of Idaho will not request funds for this decision unit. (Motion #37)	6/19/97	25

The Executive Council recommends the Board urge the Governor and the legislature to carryover the remainder of the current surplus to the 1999 educational operating and capital budgets. It was agreed by consensus that the one-time priority expenditures will be specified as either capital or operating. *It was moved by Dr. Dillon, seconded by Dr. McWilliam and carried* to accept the recommendations of the Executive Council for fully funding the employee benefits of the 1997 surplus and the carryover excess to educational operating capital budgets in the 1999 budget.

Committee Report	Dr. Dillon advised the committee had met prior to the Board meeting and that Ms. Karen McGee of the Workforce Development Council (WDC) had addressed the committee. Dr. Dillon has attended WDC meetings and feels the committees are folding in well. Topics being addressed by the committee are: 1. Minority education 2. Community college function - a subcommittee will meet and bring recommendations to the Board. At the last meeting, the committee focused on minority education, specifically Kispanic and Native American. The committee asked the representatives of these groups who are members of the committee to present their recommendations. The recommendations were inclusive and very broad. Dr. Dillon said the committee would like to define what the issues are, as there is some confusion regarding the number of drop-outs. Mr. Davis asked what would be done different than is currently being done. Dr. Dillon responded that they would look at Hispanic and Native American drop-out rates and scores on various tests so the problem can better be identified. In the past, there was not a separation of these groups from the rest of the population. Dr. Mike Rush said the committee was looking at issues that would impact higher education and that several of the recommendations from both the Hispanic Council and the Native American Education Task Force dealt with higher education recommendations. It was pointed out that the SBOE implemented or approved a plan by their Minority Affairs Officer in 1992 that had specific recommendations for each of the institutions. The question came up in the 70 Percent Committee whether or not it has been done. This recommendation is an interim step to provide that information. *It was moved by Dr. Dillon, seconded by Mr. Mosman and carried* that the State Board of Education require colleges and universities to report by January 1998 on the progress of implementation of the Ethnic/Racial Minority Student Recruitment, Enrollment, Retention and Graduation Action Plan approved by the Idaho State Board of Education in 1992.

He asked that a legal opinion be obtained. Mr. Mosman said he felt that was approved for coaches, but if something specific was needed, the attorneys should be asked for a statement of what is needed and it will be considered.	10/23/97	15

Optional Retirement Plan-Lump Sum	a. Lump Sum Withdrawal for ORP Participants The Idaho State Board of Education's Optional Retirement Plan (ORP), Article VII Benefits, 7.1 Retirement Benefits currently states that an employee who retires or terminates at or after age 62 may withdraw employee and employer contributions plus earnings as a lump sum. The employee may withdraw only the employee contributions plus earnings as a lump sum prior to age 62. The Office of the State Board of Education and the institutions requested a revision to ORP to change the age which a participant may withdraw the amount accumulated to his or her account as a lump sum. The requested revision is to allow participants to access their entire accumulation to age 55 rather than age 62. The change would bring the plan current with present retirement practices, would allow employees more control over their retirement funds and would not conflict with how PERSI participants are treated. *It was moved by Dr. McWilliam, seconded by Mr. Davis and carried* to change the Optional Retirement Plan, article VII, Paragraph 7.1 to indicate that an employee who retires or terminates at or after age 55 may withdraw his/her entire account as a lump sum, and prior to age 55 may withdraw only the employee contributions plus earnings as a lump sum. (Motion #14)	10/23/97	22

(Motion #5)	10/23/97	22
Request to Waiver In-State Fee for Women Athletes	The athletic departments currently pay the in-state fees for an athlete receiving a scholarship to the institution. This becomes an expense to the athletic department and revenue to the institution. Waiving in-state fees for women athletes would eliminate that expense to the athletic departments and would reduce fee revenue to the institutions. The reduction in expenses would result in additional funds available to the athletic department. The athletic department would use these funds to support the women's programs in achieving gender equity. *It was moved by Dr. McWilliam* to accept the institutions' recommendation to waive in-state fees for college athletes. *No second.* (Motion #16) There was a general discussion regarding the pros and cons of waiving in-state athletic fees, and Title IX issues. *It was moved by Mr. Hess and seconded by Dr. Dillon* to refer the Title IX issue back to the Board staff to work with the institutions and any other interested parties in coming up with alternative solutions that we can choose from in making a policy decision about the Title IX issue. A Roll Call vote was taken. *The motion carried.* (Motion #17) AYES: Dr. Dillon, Mr. Eaton, Dr. Fox, Mr. Hess, Ms. Meyer NAYS: Dr. McWilliam, Mr. Mosman, Mr. Davis	10/23/97	23

Student Revenue Bonds	In January 1997, the Board approved the University Commons Project for $16,500,000 and the issuance of bonds totaling $14,165,000 (net $13,000,000 for construction) for the project. In April 1997, student fees were increased $45 per semester to secure the bonds. Due to changes in IRS regulations, the University requested authorization to build and finance the retail tenant areas previously planned to be built by users of the facilities. The project cost will increase from $16,500,000 to $19,056,000. The amount of additional financing requested was $5,620,000 (net $4,700,000 for construction) which will be used to construct the tenant areas and $735,000 of furnishings/fixtures/equipment not included in the original construction budget. Debt service for this bond issue will be paid by net revenues generated by the institutional food service and bookstore operations, secured by the Activity Center Complex Fee. *It was moved by Dr. McWilliam, seconded by Dr. Dillon and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request to increase the University Commons Project to $19,056,000 and to approve a supplemental resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of Student Fee Revenue Bonds (University Commons Supplemental Project), Series 1997, in the principal amount of $5,620,000: authorizing the execution and delivery of a bond purchase agreement and providing for other matters relating to the authorization, issuance, sale and payment of the Series 1997 Bonds. (Motion #11) Mr. Davis did not participate in the discussion or vote.	11/20/97	16-17
Funding for Gender Equity	Dr. McWilliam said the Finance Committee held discussion on various aspects of gender equity issues including how to resolve the issue. The committee reviewed three options for getting additional funding: Economize. Increase contributions from general funds either by tuition waivers or by releasing the caps. A combination with outside funds. The committee discussed giving Financial Officers three instructions: Make new recommendations without tuition waivers. Make new recommendations with tuition waivers. Start from scratch with no restrictions and look at various combinations. Mr. Hess felt the problems were different at each institution and needed to be addressed separately. He felt there should be full disclosure of the costs of the programs. He did not feel fee waivers would address the long-term problem. *It was moved by Mr. Hess and seconded by Mr. Mosman* to instruct the institutions to come back with individual, custom-made recommendations for a long-term solution for their institutions to resolve the gender equity issue. *The motion was withdrawn.* (Motion #12) *A substitute motion was made by Dr. Fox and seconded by Mr. Davis* to approve up to 59 in-state fee waives for the universities and up to 15 in-state fee waivers for LCSC for FY98 and direct the staff to develop a policy on in-state fee waivers, identifying limits on how they will be phased-in. *The motion was withdrawn.* (Motion #13) *It was moved by Dr. Dillon, seconded by Mr. Mosman and carried:* That the institutions may be allowed to use one-time funds from their current budgets, limited to $115,000 for the universities and $28,000 for LCSC in FY98 to deal with gender equity funding. The determination as to initiate this transfer, if desired, is to be initiated by the presidents. The presidents will report back to the SCOE their long-term solutions as to the gender equity and athletic funding problems within the next three months. (Motion #14)	11/20/97	17-18
Deloitte & Touche FY 97 Financial Audit	Mr. Larry Bird reviewed the services provided by Deloitte & Touche and presented the results of the FY 97 financial audits. He then responded to questions from Board members. Mr. Bird recommended Deloitte & Touche hold a financial workshop with Board members every two or three years. He felt one should be held sometime in the spring but before June, 1998. He also recommended future presentations be dealt with in two parts: The Finance Committee review the audit's scope and findings. A financial overview be conducted with the full Board. *It was moved by Dr. McWilliam, seconded by Dr. Dillon and carried* to accept the FY97 financial audit for Boise State University, Idaho State University, Lewis Clark State College and the University of Idaho.	11/20/97	18

Mr. Hess asked if there was some type of measurement system where individuals in these positions can be shown to bring in more funds than are paid to them in salaries. Dr. Hoover reviewed the job responsibilities of the person in the position and felt that she would bring in a considerable amount of funds into the University.	1/25/98	14

Approval of Non-Routine Institution/Agency Agenda Items	*It was moved by Dr. Fox, seconded and carried* to approve the agency/institution non-routine agenda items except for Darlene Bailey and changing John Jegla to twelve months. Mr. Hess expressed concerns that by the time the action comes to the Board for approval, the new hires have been hired. He did not feel approval should be given after the fact, that the requests should come to the Board prior to the public announcement of employment. Dr. Dillon was in agreement with Mr. Hess, but felt that the presidents needed the flexibility to hire prior to Board approval. He did not feel the Board should be in the position of asking the presidents to run the institutions, but getting its approval prior to hiring people. Dr. Hoover said this was a significant issue. He said that in many instances qualified candidates are involved in other searches and in order to be able to hire the best person, the institutions needed to be able to offer them the position immediately. He said the institutions were competing for people in a very competitive environment and needed to be able to move rapidly. Dr. Hoover said they understood that the Board had guidelines it needed to follow. The presidents were trying to hire within the context of those rules, but it can be difficult in a competitive marketplace. Mr. Davis felt the presidents would act appropriately in determining salary amounts and said he felt comfortable with their decisions. Mr. Hess said he still was not comfortable with the approvals given after the hiring. Mr. Eaton said his concern was the hiring of individuals already within the system using any general account funds.	1/25/98	15
New Programs:Recommendation of Council on Academic Affairs and Programs	NOI: Range Livestock Management, University of Idaho Mr. Eaton said the request meshes the current programs in the Colleges of Agriculture and Forestry to develop a cooperative degree. The curriculum has been designed to meet the needs of both areas, with minimal fiscal costs. A similar program being offered through Animal and Veterinary Science is being modified and merged into this program. He said the program was a result of individuals in both departments working jointly to define a curriculum to meet the objectives. The committee felt all those involved should be commended. Mr. Hess asked if there was a process to determine the demand for this and other types of programs. Mr. Eaton responded that there is a process which must be used. Mr. Hess suggested the process be addressed in the future with discussion of a process that identifies demands. He felt that as discipline demands change, there should be data which indicates the degree of demand for a particular program. Dr. Dillon said that in full proposal requests, the committee does ask specifically for documentation of need employment prospects and whether or not it infringes on any other program area in the state. *It was moved by Mr. Eaton, seconded by Dr. McWilliam and carried* to approve the request to develop a new joint B.S. Range Livestock Management program at the University of Idaho. (Motion #9)	1/26/98	22

North Idaho Demographic Study	Dr. Hoover: There has been and will continue to be, significant growth in Northern Idaho, primarily in Kootenai and Boundary Counties. The findings led to two conclusions: The major growth will not be by traditional students in traditional programs. The major growth will be in various forms of continuing or adult education. The projected growth will provide an opportunity and a challenge for the institutions and planning must focus on: traditional, non-traditional and non-credit programs. Dr. Hoover: Status report on the Riverbend Research Training Park: The name will be changed to the University of Idaho Research Park Mr. Doug McQueen has been hired as a park manager. Title to 28 acres, valued at $3,500,000 was recorded in Kootenai County on December 19. A conditional commitment of a loan for an additional four acres was received from Jacklins. A planner was retained and an architect was identified. The master plan should be completed by April, 1998 and the building design scheduled for completion by the end of the year. Cooperative marketing activities have been developed with Jobs Plus, the Spokane Economic Development Council, the Panhandle Area Council, Washington Water Power and the Idaho Dept. of Commerce. Two small companies (one local and the other from Los Angeles) have committed to the park. A park brochure is scheduled for distribution in April. A goal for 1999 is to fill the building with enough private companies to help pay for the construction of the park. The Idaho Research Foundation is planning for intellectual copyrights, in technology transfer and marking strategies associated with the park. Long-term strategy planning has occurred with the Kootenai County Extension Office. A $400,000 HUD grant was received and has been used as the income stream for the first year. Another grant request has been submitted. Mr. Eaton said the UI Extension Service has been revamped and asked for a report. Dr. Hoover said they are in the process of putting together a strategic plan and said a report could be given after completion of the plan. Dr. Bell: North Idaho College is a community college and is fully engaged in providing community college services. There will be a need in the state for six community colleges as well as expansion of the programs at the four-year level. Another report will be given in October.	1/26/98	39-40

The President can make up to three awards per year which will cost approximately $250.00 each.

(Motion #15)	3/19/98	10
Request for Appeal Hearing	Mr. Jack Van Deventer was not granted a doctoral degree by the University of Idaho.

Board Governing Policy and Procedure Section II.I.3 (Appeal to the Board provides that "any written petition must be filed in the Office of the State Board of Education within fifteen (15) calender days after ...written notice of final action under the internal procedures of he institution..."

Dr. Fox said the committee discussed the problems of faculty salaries and compression. The presidents and agency heads will bring back information on where the salaries are in each area. Mr. Hess suggested the reports include a trend line on attrition rates.	4/17/98	8
Approval to Purchase	The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer went through the bid process and will be purchased with J.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and the National Science Foundation funds.

Student Fee and Tuition Rates for FY99	Mr. Mosman said he would vote against the motion because: There had not been sufficient effort to do something other than raise student fees. He wrote to the Executive Council asking for their help in dealing with the problem, but has not had a response. The same argument that is used to argue against non-resident fee increases can be used to argue against resident fee increases. Tuition is being called fees. Mr. Hess said he was not convinced that there needed to be fee increases of 10 percent every year and was concerned that there are big disparities in fees from institution to institution. He felt the Board should continue to address funding as a broad-based policy issue. *It was moved by Dr. Dillon, seconded by Mr. Davis and carried* to approve the fee and tuition rates for FY99 for Boise State University, Idaho State University, the University of Idaho, Lewis-Clark State College and Eastern Idaho Technical College as recommended. (Motion #28) Mr. Hes said the Finance Committee will review non-resident student fee increases.	4/17/98	17

(Motion #21)	6/18/98	10
Non-Routine Institution/Agency Agenda Items	Dr. Fox said it was determined that only changes for administrative personnel are being brought through the Personnel Committee and that changes for faculty are being sent through the Operating Budget. It was felt that in order to give a more accurate view of who is receiving pay increases, all employee increases in excess of the 20 Percent/$15,000 guideline should be brought through the Personnel/Student Affairs Committee. Mr. Satterlee advised that the first section of the new rule regarding new appointments, re-appointments, etc. applied to executive, administrative and managerial employees, but that another section of the rule does require all employee increases (except Classified) be brought to the Personnel Committee for approval. Mr. Hess asked for information on how coaches are paid and rewarded based on the criteria and why we are not achieving higher graduation rates. Dr. Dillon agreed and said he would work with the presidents to get the information. Mr. Hess was concerned about what appeared to be large salary increases for administrative people and felt the timing was not appropriate. Dr. Bowen said one of the problems is that in the past, salary increases for faculty were reported through the Operating Budget (Budget Book) and administrative salaries through the Personnel Committee. He said the two ISU employees who received increases reported in the newspaper are 55 or 56 on the list and most of those above them receiving large increases are faculty members. He also said that several of the increases at ISU were to address gender equity for women's basketball coaches. There was discussion with the presidents on ways they were looking at to address salary equity. Mr. Eaton said, and Dr. McWilliam agreed, that the Board wanted to support the decisions of the presidents, but would need additional information prior to January. Ms. Meyer asked that CUPA, WICHE and any other relevant salary scales be included when the requests are brought to the Board. *It was moved by Dr. Fox, seconded by Ms.Meyer and carried* to approve the Personnel/Student Affairs Non-routine agenda items for Boise State University, Eastern Idaho Technical College, Idaho State University, Lewis-Clark State College and the University of Idaho. (Motion #22)	6/18/98	11

(Motion #29)	6/18/98	17
Insurance-Routine Institution/Agency Agenda Items	Student accident insurance increased from 7.65 to 7.70 per semester. Optional medical from $378 per year to $380. Vision and dental being offered. Employee medical/dental insurance $3296 per employee - %11.2 increase	6/18/98	22

(Motion #33) (Mr. Eaton abstained from voting.) Clarifications to Consent Agenda: 5.10.2 Lease of Office Space for the University of Idaho Research Park at Post Falls. The committee recommended approval based on assurance that the state will receive the investment back minus depreciation. Dr. Fox asked if the spreadsheet showing outstanding bond indebtedness had being prepared. Mr. Hess said the information is being compiled and should be ready in a month or so. Dr. Fox asked that it be placed in the Board packets every month.	6/18/98	22

Iddings and to name the Laboratory Addition to the Agricultural Sciences Buildings in honor of former Dean, James A. Kraus. (Motion #34)	6/18/98	24
FY99 College and University Operating Budgets	*It was moved by Mr. Hess, seconded by Mr. Eaton and carried* to approve the FY99 operating and capital budgets for the college and universities programs as exhibited. (Motion #37)	6/18/98	24
FY2000 Budget Hearing (Operating Budget)	The Finance Committee met on July 27th to develop recommendations for institution and agency FY2000 budget requests. Mr. Hess and Mr. Keith Hasselquist reviewed the budget request recommendations (see permanent exhibit). In reviewing performance indicators, Mr. Hess suggested that quantifiable information be included. Mr. Hess said funding the requests would raise the base, but would also provide for more definitive accountability measures for future funding. Mr. Davis questioned projected FY2000 revenue increases of 4.5 percent ( the budget requests were for increases of 13.15 percent). Mr. Hess said the committee discussed the figures and agreed with the percentages. Dr. McWilliam suggested comparing higher education's share of the funds to the state's total budget. The declining share would give a more realistic picture. Mr. Hasselquist said last year's share was around 12 percent and going back to FY08, it was around 17 percent. Dr. Dillon asked that there be a clear definition of incentive items which do not go into the base, as they will be reviewed separately in a year to determine their effectiveness. Mr. Hess felt the incentive funding accountability process would allow the Board to be a more effective advocate for higher education. *It was moved by Mr. Eaton and seconded by Dr. McWilliam* to adopt the Finance Committee's FY2000 Budget Request recommendations. *The motion was amended* to include the revised performance measures and only the FY2000 Operating Budget. *The amended motion carried.* (Motion #11)	8/20/98	8
Contracts-Routine Institution/Agency Agenda Items	Approval of contracts of Paradise Creek Improvement.	9/24/98	22
Contracts and Agreements	Dr. Hoover said that, per his conversation with Mr. Hess, more specific criteria will be identified with future contract submissions. Dr. Hoover said the salary increase was to bring it more in line with salaries of other Big West coaches at comparable institutions. Mr. Hess asked the universities to clearly define academic performance, percentage of wins or some more quantifiable incentive. The topic will be addressed by the Presidents Council and recommendations brought back to the Board. FTE/Term: 1.0/12 Months Proposed Ann Salary: $89,419 Effective Date: July 1,1998 - June 29,2001 Dept/Funding: Athletic Dept/FY/General Education Appropriated Funds Addl Compensation: Merit Based Payment Up to $10,000 annually; Post-season Play Payment Up to 3/13 of annual base salary; One Courtesy Car (trade out). *It was moved by Dr. Fox, seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried to approve* the July 1, 1998-June 29, 2001 contract for Football Coach Christopher Tormey.	9/24/98	10-11
Contracts and Agreements	David Farrar- Head Men's Basketball Coach FTE/Term: 1.0/12 Months Proposed Ann Salary: $90,002.00 Effective Date: July 1,1998 - June 31,2003 Dept/Funding: Athletic Dept/FY/General Education Appropriated Funds Additional Compensation: Merit Based Payment Up to 1/13 annual base salary; Deferred Compensation Plan valued at $10,000 for each year the contract is completed; Post Season Play Payment up to 2/13 annual base salary; One Courtesy Car (trade out). Dr. Hoover advised there were two differences in this contract from what is in the others. 1)a five-year contract and 2) an annuity plan. The UI has had considerable turnover in men's basketball coaches in the past years. It is felt that extending the contract to five years and providing an annuity incentive would help with retention. Dr. Hoover reviewed and, with Mr. Satterlee, responded to Board members' question regarding the annuity plan. Dr. Dillon felt the Board should be aware that this is the first five-year contract brought to it and that the purchase of an annuity is a new way of addressing retention problems. *It was moved by Dr. Fox, seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried* to approve the July 1, 1998 - March 31, 2003 Employment Agreement for David Farrar, Head Men's Basketball Coach.	9/24/98	11
Contracts and Agreements	Hillary A.Recknor - Head Women's Basketball Coach Dr. Hoover said the salary increase was to bring it more in line with salaries of other Big West coaches at comparable institutions. Ms. Meyer asked for a review of Title IX implications. Dr. Hoover said there has been an interpretation by the Civil Rights Commission that coaches' salaries in similar sports have to be brought into alliance, but there are legal challenges and until there is a clear definition, no one is sure where they stand. The recommended salary for Ms. Recknor will put her approximately in the middle area, but the right measuring stick still has not been developed. FTE/Term: 1.0/12 months Proposed Ann Sal: $51,002 Effective Date: July 1, 1998 - June 29, 2001 Dept/Funding: Athletic Dept/FY/General Education Appropriated Funds Additional Compensation: Merit-Based Payment Up to 1/13 annual base salary; Post-Season Play Payment up to 2/13 annual base salary; One Courtesy Car (trade out) *It was moved by Dr. Fox, seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried* to approve the July 1, 1998 - June 29, 2001 Employment Agreement for Hillary A. Recknor, Head Women's Basketball Coach.( Motion #17)	9/24/98	12
Faculty/Staff Handbook Changes	The University of Idaho requested changes to its Faculty-Staff Handbook, Section 1565, Section 3520 and Section 3560, which were approved by the UI General Faculty. Dr. Dillon asked if statute required Board approval on Handbook changes. Mr. Satterlee said it was his opinion (shared by University counsel) that the policies of the University of Idaho only have force and effect if they are approved by the Board of Regents; therefore, it is only appropriate for the Board to approve major changes. *It was moved by Ms. Meyer, seconded by Mr. Davis and carried* to approve the requested changes to the University of Idaho's Faculty-Staff Handbook as exhibited. (Motion #30)	9/24/98	20
Idaho-Washington Reciprocity Agreement	The states of Idaho and Washington have for almost two decades signed a memorandum of agreement that provides increased access to educational opportunities for residents of each state. During the summer, the respective staffs work out the fiscal conditions of the agreement.

Non Resident Tuition Recommendations	The Presidents' Council requested a freeze on nonresident tuition for the following two years, Fall 2000 and Fall 2001, be reviewed at the appropriate time with the intent of minimizing the increases. Mr. Eaton supported the Presidents' recommendations with the understanding that there be an annual review to determine consequences. Mr. Hess agreed and said the Finance Committee approved of all the recommendations. *It was moved by Dr. McWilliam, seconded by Mr. Hess and carried* to accept the Presidents' recommendations on nonresident tuition as indicated in Page 24 of the Finance committee agenda. (Motion #45)	11/19/98	38
Nonresident Tuition Waivers- Fiscal Impact	The Presidents' Council recommended a change in the Board's Fee Waiver policy to increase the number of nonresident tuition waivers for disadvantaged or deserving students from one percent to three percent of the institution's full-time equivalent enrollment. They also recommended that students receiving waivers be targeted for information technology programs, engineering and other programs with capacity. Mr. Eaton asked the presidents to come back annually with a progress report. Mr. Davis asked that the reports include both the positive and the negative implications. The first report will be given in November, 1999. *It was moved by Mr. Davis, seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried* that when dealing with disadvantaged or deserving students, increase the percentage from one percent to three percent of the institution's full-time equivalent; with the notation that this allows the presidents to target certain programs and students with nonresident waivers, if the need presents itself.

Agreement with Washington State University	The National Collegiate Athletic Association has established attendance and seating requirements as a condition of granting Division I-A football team status to the UI. Those requirements cannot presently be met at the ASUI Kibbie Center. The proposed cooperative arrangement enables the UI to comply with the requirements while long-term strategies are being developed. The agreement outlines the terms and conditions under which UI will play home games at Washington State University's (WSU) Martin Stadium and have use of other specified WSU support facilities for a period of five years beginning in Fall, 1999, with provision for termination by mutual agreement. UI will pay WSU a negotiated fee per game for use of the of the stadium and will reimburse WSU for operating expenses as provided in the agreement. All costs will be paid from athletic program revenues. Mr. Hess said the fee per game would vary, but would not exceed $25,000. *It was moved by Mr. Hess, seconded by Ms. Meyer and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's license agreement with Washington State University for use of Martin Stadium, and authorize the Vice President of Finance and Administration to execute the agreement. (Motion #11).	1/25/99	12
Issuance of Bonds	The UI requested authorization for Issuance of Bonds for the following: Approximately $20,165,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds to finance construction of the Student Recreation Center. Approximately $1,490,000 in tax-exempt revenue bonds to redeem the prior debt for the Elmwood Apartments. Increase the Student Recreation Center Fee to $82 per semester, as endorsed by a student referendum, approved by the President, to be assessed beginning Fall 2001, concurrent with the occupancy of the facility. Proceed with the Student Recreation Center Project. Approval of this project includes approval to enter into contracts with architects, engineers, and construction contractors, as necessary, to accomplish the project. Mr. Hess said the requests were in the master plan and had committee approval. Mr. Davis asked if debt service could be shown as a line entry. Mr. Hess replied that they are working on a format which would show student fees attributed for debt service for capital improvements and to quantify what they go for and the amounts. He felt they would be able to provide that type of information at a later meeting. Mr. Eaton said they just finished preparing a chart which shows Present Fund Indebtedness and the Source of Funding. Board members will be sent a copy. *It was moved by Mr. Hess, seconded by Mr. Boyd and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request to find the projects to be necessary for the proper operation of the institution and economically feasible; and to approve the Series 1999 Bond Resolution (Recreation Center Project), to approve the Series 1999A Bond Resolution (Elmwood), to ratify the Student Recreation Center Fee beginning Fall 2001, and authorization to proceed with the Student Recreation Center Project. (Motion #12) Mr. Eaton abstained.	1/25/99	12-13
Re-Roof Art & Architecture East Building	The UI requested approval to re-roof the Art and Architecture East Building, using available funds from the SBOE Project Contingency Reserve Account. Approval includes approval to enter into contracts with architects, engineers and construction contractors, as necessary, to accomplish the project beginning this fiscal year. The project will include re-roofing the south portion of the building with a metal roof and developing a gable roof over the north half to match the south portion. Design will be completed during Spring 1999 with work scheduled to begin in May 1999. A Form B and Request for Emergency Funding from the SBOE Project Contingency Reserve has been forwarded to the Board office. Estimated cost of the project, including architectural/engineering fees, reimbursables and contingency, is $155,000 which was requested from the SBOE Project Contingency Reserve. The property was acquired in 1995 and it was not known at the time that the repairs would be needed. Mr. Hess said the committee asked the staff to develop a policy on how to deal with unexpended, Surplus Maintenance and Operation funds, etc. When written, it will be brought to the Board. Dr. Dillon asked that each institution prepare reports on their maintenance policy, i.e. how it is funded and the status. Mr. Hasselquist said there was a guideline which asked that each institution's budget have a maintenance amount of 1.5 percent of the replacement value to cover routine maintenance and 1.5 percent to cover larger projects, which go through the Division of Public Works. *It was moved by Mr. Hess, seconded by Mr. Eaton and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request to re-roof the Art and Architecture East Building and approval of the request to use the Board's contingency fund for the project. (Motion #13)	1/25/99	13-14
Personnel-Routine Institution/Agency Agenda Items	Approval of Larry Branen form Director, Institutional Planning and Budget to Director, IPB and Interim Dean, College of Ag.	3/18/99	9
Approval of Routine Institution/Agency Agenda Items	Dr. Howard advised that the UI item listed for Dr. Larry Branen was discussed by the committee. Dr. Dillon said the concern with Dr. Branen's change was not due to the amount of salary , but its late submission to the Board. He said he appreciated Dr. Hoover taking responsibility for the error. Dr. Dillon said they did not want to approve the request without some comment regarding the need to adhere to Board policy. Mr. Eaton felt that while policy needed to be followed other items such as the LCSC athletic contracts were not brought forth in a timely manner and no statements were being made regarding their actions. He felt the point was made and the statement did not need to be included in the permanent record. Dr. Dillon said the intent was not to single out Dr. Hoover, but to reaffirm policy. Mr. Boyd recalled that other items such as bus route change requests have come to the Board past the deadline and been approved without additional comments. He agreed with Mr. Eaton and felt that everyone in the room now understands they should be more careful. *It was moved by Dr. Howard and seconded* to approve the Personnel/Student Affairs routine agenda items for Boise State University and the University of Idaho with the statement:"The committee believes the Board should approve the appointment of Dr. Branen as proposed by the UI as an exception to the Board's interim position policy, and that such approval is retroactive to November 8,1998; provided, however , that in approving this appointment, the Board recognizes that this situation results from a failure of the University of Idaho and Dr. Hoover to properly follow the Board's personnel policies; and provided further that it is only due to extraordinary circumstances and to the fact that the employee involved should not be penalized for the consequences of this mistake that the Board grants this approval. By the motion, the Board makes it clear that in the future failures to follow its policies will not be tolerate". *The motion was amended by Mr. Eaton and Mr. Boyd* to approve the items as listed without comment. *The amended motion did not carry.* (Motion #30) Mr. Eaton said he would vote in favor of the original motion, but hoped it didn't mean that the Board will not accept exceptions because there are exceptions and the Board needs to be cognizant of the fact that everyone makes mistakes. *It was moved by Dr. Howard and seconded by Mr. Davis* to approve the Personnel/Student Affairs Committee Non-routine agenda items with the following statement: " The Board approves the interim appointment of Larry Branen as proposed by the University of Idaho as an exception to the Board's interim position policy and that such approval is retroactive to November 8, 1998;provided, however, that in approving this appointment, the Board recognizes that this situation results from extraordinary circumstances and the fact that the employee involved should not be penalized for the consequences of this mistake." *The motion was amended* to include all Non-routine items. The amended motion was carried.(Motion #31)	3/18/99	9-10
New Program: UI Center for Secure and Dependable Software	The UI requested authorization to establish a Center for Secure and Dependable Software. The Center's efforts are focused on the development of secure and dependable systems which have national and international significance. Dr. Dodson asked the Board for clarification on what types of programs/changes it would like to see, what it wants to delegate to the staff and how it defines program and college. He said Mr. Davis instructed the CAAP to come back to the committee in April or June with clarification language for the policy and recommendations. *It was moved by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Boyd and carried* to approve the establishment of a Center for Secure and Dependable Software at the University of Idaho. (Motion #23)	3/18/99	14

License Agreement	Approval to amend SCT agreement for UI to serve as test site for Campus Pipeline.	3/18/99	16
Approval of Routine Agency/Institution Agenda Items	University of Idaho's Item 4.10.2 - Campus Pipeline. Mr. Eaton read the following excerpt from the agenda: "The University also agrees to allow sponsors and commerce partners of SCT to place sponsorship information on, and transact electronic commerce through, the Campus Pipeline Software. The University maintains the right, under certain circumstances, to disallow certain sponsors." He said the committee discussed the wording and asked that the minutes reflect the fact that they were approving this limited issue and that the committee is asking for assistance in developing a policy on on-campus advertising. Mr. Eaton said currently there is advertising and commercial enterprises at the student union buildings and now the issue of advertising and commercial productions through the Internet and other campus areas needs to be addressed. He felt there should be a comprehensive review and a policy developed that would allow for commercial enterprise on campus, but not so that the commercial enterprise becomes the campus. He said they would come back at an unspecified later date with recommendations for the development of a policy. *It was moved by Mr. Hess, seconded by Dr. Howard and carried* to approve the Finance Committee Routine agenda items for the Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind, Boise State University, Lewis-Clark State College and the University of Idaho. (Motion #11)	3/18/99	16

Kibbie Center East End Renovation Planning	Mr. Hess said the request would not involve additional student fee increases nor would it come out of appropriated funds. *It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request to select and retain architects, engineers and other consultants, paid with donated funds, to prepare planning and design documents for renovation of and addition to the east end of the ASUI Kibbie Activity Center. (Motion #38)	4/15/99	11
Naming of College of Law Distance Learning Room	*It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request to name the College of Law Distance Learning Room in honor of Dennis E. and Jacqueline R. Wheeler. (Motion #39)	4/15/99	12
Acceptance of Land Ownership Transfer at UI Research Park	*It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried* to approve the University of Idaho's request to accept a transfer of ownership of approximately four acres of land from the University of Idaho Foundation for development of the first facility in the University of Idaho Research Park at Post Falls. (Motion #40)	4/15/99	12
IF Student Union Building Ground Lease and Access Utility	*It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried* to approve Idaho State University and the University of Idaho's request to execute a lease with the University of Idaho Foundation, Inc. for undeveloped land at University Place in Idaho Falls for the siting and construction of a student union building. Authorization is given for the Vice Presidents to enter into an agreement with the University of Idaho Foundation covering access to the site, utilities, parking and the use of common areas. (Motion #41)	4/15/99	12
FY2000 Student Fees and Tuition Rates	Mr. Hess said the committee did not discuss the topic as it felt this was an area for full Board participation. Mr. Hess said more and more education costs are being paid by the students and, unless the legislature increases are at a much lower percentage than the increases for residents. Dr. Ruch offered comments in support of the presidents' fee recommendations: Board guidelines have been followed. Public input has been solicited. Idaho fees are low compared to other WICHE states. The institutions have worked hard to expend financial aid to students. Mr. Mahmood Sheikh, ASUI said many students at the UI were concerned about the increases. He then distributed information on the CPI+2 guideline. Mr. Davis asked if there was a legal or moral commitment to adhere to the CPI+2 guideline. Mr. Satterlee said the Board was not legally bound to adhere to the CPI+2 guideline and the Board can set fees as it sees fit. Mr. Davis advised the current increases (not to exceed 10 percent)were developed based on need as well as student involvement. Mr. Boyd said it is generally felt by legislators that higher education has an outlet in that they are able to charge student fees. He felt the Board needed to convince the legislature of the need to increase higher education appropriations. Mr. Eaton said the aggregate increase across the state amounted to 7 percent, but he was concerned about student debt and planned to prepare a report to take to the legislature so they can take it into account when making higher education appropriations. He asked the Board to ask Dr. Fitch to identify the issues related to student debt and student debt increase and develop a white paper for the Board to review by the next meeting. Mr. Eaton was concerned about fees for athletics and the consequences of waivers. He said he would follow up on those topics and suggested other Board members with discomfort with line items do the same. *It was moved by Mr. Eaton, seconded by Dr. Howard and carried* to approve the fees for FY2000 for Boise State University, Idaho State University, the University of Idaho, Lewis-Clark State College and Eastern Idaho Technical College as shown in Item 7c-g of the Finance Committee agenda. Mr. Hess voted Nay. (Motion #45)	4/15/99	14
Personnel Appointments	*It was moved by Mr. Eaton and seconded and carried* to approve the reappointment of Dr. Robert Hoover as President of the UI (effective July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000) at a State Salary of $145,915.20	5/12/99	7
Personnel Appointments	David Thompson Appointment- Mr. Eaton said the contract and salary was for 11 months, and if it were for 12 months, the salary would be approximately $164,000, which is more than what is paid to the president. The committee discussed the situation and was advised that this is not the first time in Idaho that this has occurred. Mr. Eaton felt it was worth noting that the salary takes Idaho to a new level and it is inevitable that others will be paid like amounts.	6/17/99	6
Extension of Multi-Year Contracts with Amendments	Christopher J. Tormey, Head Football Coach *It was moved by Mr. Eaton and carried (8-0)* to approve the proposed second amendment to the multi-year contract for Christopher J. Tormey, Head Football Coach, University of Idaho. (Motion #22) Dr. Dillon said the 1A figures for coaches salaries are: the base only (1997 figures) runs from $74,940-$388,000, with the average making $142,000; the median figure is $137,000. The total package runs from $93,000-$975,000; with the average salary #318,000; and a median of $268,000. Mr. Eaton said the discussion regarding marketplace centers on demand and does not take into account supply, i.e. what is the revenue supply in our market? He felt that revenue source should be included in the discussion, and that while there may be a national demand, the supply is state funds. Mr. Eaton said the committee asked the institutions to fulfill the part of the agreements relating to academic performance of the students. He said he was assured that it is a part of the evaluation process.	6/17/99	8
Extension of Multi-Year Contracts with Amendments	David Farrar, Head Men's Basketball Coach *It was moved by Mr. Eaton and carried (8-0)* to approve the proposed amendment to the multi-year contract for C. Davis Farrar, Head Men's Basketball Coach, University of Idaho. (Motion #23)	6/17/99	9
UI President's Supplemental Compensation	*It was moved by Mr. Eaton, seconded by Mr. Hammond and carried (7-1)* to accept the concept in principle that has been proposed to us; that we ask our staff to work with the Foundation and others, as necessary, in order to formalize the arrangement; that the attorneys be involved in the writing of that contract and that the documents be sent to us in draft form as soon as possible so that we can take action at our August meeting. *More information on this agenda item on pages 9-11	6/17/99	11

(Motion #40)	6/17/99	21
Financing Package in support of the FY00 Institutional Capital Plan	The UI requested authority to issue bonds to fund components of their Capital Budget Plan consistently with their Strategic Plan and Long-Range Campus Development Plan. Mr. Hess said $3.3M of the bond would be used for reducing the debt, with the remaining money to be used for capital improvements. Mr. Hess said this item initiated a discussion in committee about all of the capital projects bond fund indebtedness, etc. ehich precipitated the Board asking Deloitte & Touche to prepare an overview, summary spreadsheet of the universities' income and outgo, and the potential downside if student enrollment declines. He said that the motion included a request for approval of whatever portion of the 600 hours is necessary to bring the report to the committee in approximately six months. *It was moved by Mr. Hess* to authorize the University of Idaho to fund components of the University of Idaho's FY00 Capital Budget Plan consistent with the University's Strategic Plan and Long-Range Campus Development Plan. A roll call vote was taken:*The motion carried.*(Motion #41)	6/17/99	21
Outreach-Acquisition of Ida-Ore Facility and Land, Caldwell, Idaho	In order to increase its ability to support the state's agricultural industry, the University of Idaho requested approval to acquire ownership and assume operation of a small business incubator and specialty food processing facility owned by Ida-Ore, Inc. in Caldwell. (NOTE: Ida-Ore, Inc. is a council of governments formed for economic development.)	6/17/99	22
Faculty Staff Handbook Changes	*It was moved by Mr. Eaton and carried (7-0)* to approve the request for changes in the University of Idaho Faculty-Staff Handbook. (Motion #30)	9/23/99	8
Bechtel Transition Team	Mr. Hess asked if the individuals at the UI who are receiving pay increases due to their work with the Bechtel Transition Team would go back to their regular salaries when those duties are completed. Mr. Eaton said the intent is for them to go back to their regular salaries. Dr. Brian Pitcher said the salary adjustments are temporary and when the employee's work on the transition ends, they will go back to their regular institution salary with any possible cost-of-living adjustments. Dr. Pitcher said the pay increases will be paid throughout contract funds by Bechtel. Dr. Dillon was concerned about outside employment, paid by grants not coming to the Board. He felt the fact that the funds are non-appropriated needs to be made clear.	9/23/99	8-9
New Programs-B.S., Pl.Sc. in Horticulture	This program was eliminated in 1993, but it has been found that there is now a need for it; therefore a request has been made for its reinstatement. *It was moved by Dr. Howard and carried (7-0)* to approve the reinstatement of the B.S., Pl.Sc. in Horticulture at the UI.	9/23/99	10
Palouse Empire Mall Ground Lease	*It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried (7-0)* to approve the request from the UI to execute a ground lease covering land commonly known as the Palouse Empire Mall with National Realty Finance L.C of Kansas City, Missouri, if the current ground lease with Palouse Empire Mall Associates is ever terminated or canceled due to a default which cannot, by its nature be cured by National Realty Finance L.C.	9/23/99	15
Financial	Approval to spend carryover funds from FY99.	9/23/99	18
Miscellaneous	The UI submitted a request to exempt records relating to donors or potential donors to a public institution of higher education or its related foundations from the Public Records Act. The Division of Financial Management asked that it be modified to only exempt individual donor records. Mr. Boyd asked Dr. Brian Pitcher to address the Board and give the rationale behind the request. Dr. Pitcher said the request was a joint request of all of the institutions in that donors have concerns about their donation records being open to public access. Mr. Eaton thought the request might be as a result of the concerns of anonymous donors, who don't want to be besieged with requests for contributions from other organizations. Dr. Pitcher said that was one of several reasons. Dr. Richard Bowen said ISU agreed to help with the project because of the concerns of anonymous donors. Mr. Boyd asked if federal law addressed the topic. Mr. Hammond said federal mainly dealt with federal taxes which are not public records. Dr. Fitsch said organizations with 501(c) status are governed by federal guidelines which allow anonymity for donors. Mr. Kevin Satterlee said another aspect was that sometimes institution presidents would like to discuss what a donation will be used for with the Board. As the law is now, that discussion cannot take place during an Executive Session, but must take place in an Open Session.	9/23/99	18
UI Naming of College of Business & Economics Bldg	*It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried (7-0)* to approve the request from the University of Idaho to name the College of Business Building in honor of J.A. Albertson. (Motion #20)	10/21/99	11

Mr. Davis asked Dr. Hoover and the UI Foundation to be aware that although the Board has questions, the Board continues to have high regard for Dr. Hoover and the other presidents. The questions are meant to ensure fairness for all concerned. *It was moved by Mr. Eaton, seconded by Ms. McGee and carried(7-1)* to approve the documents submitted, subject to final review by the Board's attorney. (Motion #37)	10/21/99	35
UI Personnel Change	Dr. Hoover reported Dr. Jeanne Shreeve has left her position as Vice President for Research and on January 1 will return to the laboratory. A request will be coming to the Board for a special request concerning an appointment they would like to establish at UI.	11/18/99	6

Naming of Spaces in the Idaho Commons	Mr. Satterlee said the Board had the authority to delegate to the presidents the authority to name rooms and spaces; however, they are bound by Board criteria. Mr. Hess suggested a policy change be made that would delegate the authority to name rooms and spaces to all of the presidents. Dr. Dillon agreed and felt the overall policy should be reviewed. *It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried (7-0)* to approve the request from the University of Idaho for naming rooms and spaces in the Idaho Commons as proposed in the exhibit, and to delegate authority to the President of the University of Idaho the authority to approve the naming of various additional rooms and spaces in the Idaho Commons in recognition of gifts. (Motion #12)	11/18/99	14
Expansion of UI Boise Center Lease at MK Plaza	*It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried (7-0)* to approve the request from the University of Idaho to authorize the Vice President of Finance and Administration to negotiate and execute a lease with American Resurgens for additional space in the M-K Plaza IV in Boise. (Motion #13)	11/18/99	14
Annual Financial Audit by Deloitte & Touche	Mr. Larry Bird of Deloitte & Touche appeared before the Board and responded to questions from members. Mr. Boyd asked Dr. Ruch if, considering the work going on in Canyon County, BSU expects its bond indebtedness to increase. Dr. Ruch responded that the current plan is not to fund construction on that campus through bonds, but to use a combination of private and state dollars to build the first building. A proposal for construction of a second building will be sent to the federal government. *It was moved by Mr. Hess and carried (7-0)* to accept the FY99 financial audit reports for the University of Idaho, Boise State University, Idaho State University, Lewis-Clark State College and Eastern Idaho Technical College as presented by Deloitte & Touche. (Motion #14) Mr. Davis asked Mr. Bird about the status of the 600 hour bank. Mr. Bird said he would be preparing a report for Mr. Hasselquist that would include how many hours were used and how they were used, and what, if any, would be carried over to 2000.	11/18/99	15
University of Idaho- Athletic Conference Report	Dr. Hoover gave an overview on the discussions regarding UI conference affiliation. He said that just when the UI football team gained its full Division 1A membership, the Big West Conference lost all but two of its football-playing members. Therefore, as of July 1, 2001, they will no longer meet Division 1A football criteria for having six football-playing members in the league. In recent weeks, the University of Idaho and Utah State University have received invitations to join the Sun Belt Conference for football only; all other sports will stay in the Big West. In response to the invitation, the UI requested more time to consider the invitation. While at that time the Sun Belt officials could not consider giving the UI more time they said they would discuss the UI's membership in the near future. The UI has two choices: the Sun Belt or independent status. The evaluation of the options, based on which would best serve the UI's long term interests, the ability to schedule games, bowl games and recruitment of athletics led to conclusion that it is necessary for the UI to consider the Sun Bowl. The UI will continue to play regional games with institutions such as Boise State University. Dr. Hoover said the UI is prepared to pursue an affiliate relationship in football as a football-playing member of the Sun Belt Conference in the short-term and asked for Board approval to accept an invitation if it is made in the near future. *It was moved by Mr. Hammond and seconded by Ms.McGee* to allow the University of Idaho to accept the invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference for football, beginning with the 2001 season. The motion was amended to include to stipulations: For three years, a fiscal reort compared with the projected income will be brought to the Board. There will be a home-and-home schedule with Boise State University. *The amended motion carried (6-0-1)* (Mr. Hess abstained) (Motion #46)	11/18/99	26

Program Review - Legal Education Update	Dr. Brian Pitcher reviewed the findings of Idaho's Blue Ribbon Panel for statewide legal education. The charge to the panel was: 1. Review the alignment of statewide education resources. 2. Make recommendations on strategies to strengthen the quality and competitiveness of legal education and continuing education. 3. Assess the resources needed to consider long-term strategies. Dr. Pitcher said the Panel received background material on demographics, economics and information on the Idaho law profession. The Panel also solicited information, did research and spent four days (Pocatello, Boise, Lewiston, Moscow and Coeur d'Alene) visiting with state bar members, community leaders, faculty, students and administrators. The Panel then spent two months completing their research and preparing the report. Dr. Pitcher highlighted some of the features of the report: 1. Historical review of legal education, trends and future challenges. 2. A description of some of the unique characteristics and dilemmas which legal education faces in Idaho relative to our size, distribution of population, and the business environment. 3. A set of proposals and descriptions of the advantages, disadvantages and implications of the three options: a) an enriched, stronger residential program based in Moscow, b) relocation of the law school to the Treasure Valley, and c) a unique Idaho solution, i.e., a combination of the strengths of a residential and urban model, including broadening the delivery of graduate-based programs in Boise and other population centers; and a unique option for a one-semester program in Boise growing into a full third-year Boise program for more intensive clinical opportunities. The Panel felt option #3 is the option that would best fit the legal education needs in Idaho. Dr. Pitcher said he, the President and the Dean have met with the law faculty. The faculty endorsed the need to look carefully at these and other options, recognizing there is a need for broadening services and made the proposal for the President to establish an implementation committee to consider and analyze the reports recommendations and prepare an action plan.	1/24-25/2000	10-11
Mid-Year Salary Increases	Mr. Boyd reported to the Board that the following items submitted by the University of Idaho were pulled until the April meeting because Board procedures does not allow for mid-year salary increases: Administrative - Changes in Salary for: 1. Byron J. Dangerfield 2. John A. Miller 3. Brian Pitcher 4. Jerry Wallace	3/16-17/2000	5
Athletics	It was moved by Mr. Boyd that the Board approve the employment contract for Tom Cable, Head Football Coach at the University of Idaho (Motion #6) Mr. Eaton asked for clarification of the statement in the contract Coach shall receive the sum of $50,000...$50,000 from the University or the University's designated media outlet. He asked if the University would pay it, if no one else would. Mr. Jerry Wallace said the payments did have to come through the University, but the media contracts are structured to support this particular element. Mr. Eaton asked if it would be accurate for the minutes to show that this is paid by the media contract or through the University and not by the University, i.e., the University is the conduit and not responsible for paying it out of university funds. Mr. Satterlee said the University is contractually bound to come up with the money, but it is covered by the University entering into media contracts. He said the Board policy requires that all outside compensation go through the University before it can be paid to an employee. In this case, if the University negotiates media contracts worth $80,000, they are contractually obligated to add $50,000 to the coaches salary, but not $80,000 that would remain as University income. If, for some reason, the University cannot negotiate up to $50,000 worth of media contracts, the University is contractually bound to pay $50,000 in media compensation to the coach and would probably have to make up those funds. Mr. Eaton felt the contract was misstated if the UI is responsible for payment, i.e., it is not a media supplement, it is additional compensation paid for by the University and the University will or will not be reimbursed in the entirety of that $52,000. It was moved by Mr. Eaton, seconded by Ms. McGee and carried (8-0) to table Motion #6 no later than one day. Mr. Jerry Wallace was asked to look into the issue and come back to the Board as soon as possible, but no later than one day. Later in the day, Mr. Wallace addressed the issue. He said the source of the funds for that part of the compensation agreement does come from media funds and is not subsidized by other types of funds, either from the Athletic Department or the University. It was moved by Mr. Eaton, seconded by Mr. Boyd and carried (8-0) to approve the employment contract for Tom Cable, Head Football Coach, with the understanding that Section 3.2.4 means that the $50,000 will be paid for by media contract revenue. (Motion #14) Mr. Davis asked Mr. Satterlee if the comment in Motion #14 fit the new contract standard and was assured that it did.	3/16/2000	6-7
Alcohol	The UI requested approval to serve alcohol in the following places: 1. UI Research Parks and Business Incubators 2. Selected Off-Campus Conference Locations 3. Prichard Art Gallery 4. UI Golf Course (private events) The committee brought the request to the full Board without a recommendation. Mr. Davis asked Mr. Satterlee to review policy when there is no committee recommendation. Mr. Satterlee said the Board has delegated to the committees the authority to review items and to make recommendations to the full Board, but it has not delegated to the committees the right to stop ideas from coming to the full Board. Mr. Davis said his concern with the request is that there is current litigation for an incident that took place several years ago and was related to alcohol. The Board decided at the time of the incident there would be a total abstinence based policy for alcohol on the campuses of public education facilities, and that policy has served well. He was concerned that the policy would continue to erode and that at some point in time the Board would have to revisit its decisions. He said he would vote no to the request because he did not feel it was good policy to mix students and alcohol. Mr. Satterlee said in reference to the case that is in litigation, that there is no liability either to the University or to the Board of Regents, and it is highly unlikely any damages will be paid out as there is a law that protects the University in such situations. Mr. Eaton felt it was a mistake (and Mr. Lewis agreed) to include the golf course in the list of designated areas because it is located on campus. Ms. McGee said she was also concerned, but was assured by the fact that it could only be approved for private groups. Mr. Eaton felt the phrase only available for private events sponsored by non-student groups meant that while an event was sponsored by a non-student group, students could still attend. Ms. McGee said she felt it meant groups like the alumni having fund-raising events. Mr. Boyd said a student 21 years of age or older probably could participate, but those under 21 years of age could not participate at any of sites, i.e., an underage person could not play a round of golf and then have a beer in the clubhouse. Dr. Brian Pitcher said the application form specifically requires the number and ages of attendees. If the audience includes significant attendees under the age of 21, the application will not be approved. He said the UI is interested in lawful and responsible alcohol use and its reputation as a party school is changing because of the actions of those on campus, i.e., a different quality of student is being recruited and due to the lawsuit, an appropriate and restrictive alcohol use policy was implemented in collaboration with student leadership and the fraternities. Mr. Eaton said that when the alcohol policy was first implemented, it was with the provision that the institutions provide a report to the Board on alcohol education, but that he has not seen any report. Mr. Davis said the Board would welcome a report from the Presidents Council. Mr. Lewis asked that there be a stronger definition of the situations in which alcohol would be served. Dr. Pitcher said they would look at ways to make it clearer on the application that alcohol would not be served at student related events or where there would be a significant number of students in attendance. Dr. Howard asked if the agreements at all three institutions were similar. Mr. Satterlee said due to individual circumstances the application procedure being proposed by the UI is less comprehensive that the agreement at BSU and more comprehensive than ISU's policy for areas such as the Alumni House and Sports Medicine Center. It was moved by Mr. Boyd, seconded by Ms. McGee and carried (5-3) to approve the request from the University of Idaho to serve alcohol in those specific places. (Motion #8)	3/16-17/2000	7-8

Capital Request	The UI requested approval to revise project scope and budget to accommodate additional site development work, renovation of the basement of the existing Administration Annex Building, and additional student related furnishing and equipment items (new CBE Building). Mr. Eaton said the project has been approved in the amount of $12,445,000. The current request is to raise it to $13,300,000. The money is being funded by private donations. It was moved by Mr. Eaton and carried (8-0)to approve the request from the University of Idaho to revise the project scope and budget as detailed. (Motion #17)	3/16/00	22

Mr. Lewis asked for, and received, unanimous consent to separate the Student Rec Center from the other items up for approval. It was moved by Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Manning and carried (6-0) to approve the projects from the University of Idaho as listed in item 3.2.a, understanding that the item with respect to the Student Rec Center has been separated - (Motion #22) It was moved by Mr. Manning and seconded by Mr. Hammond to approve the Student Rec Center - The motion failed (3-3) (Motion #23)	4/19-20/2001	4-5
UI Climbing Wall	Mr. Hammond said the topic was brought back for reevaluation because of the student support it has received. Dr. Hoover said the materials selected to cover the wall were selected as a cost-cutting measure, but by using them the University will not be able to host climbing competitions. It was moved by Mr. Hammond, seconded by Mr. Agidius and carried (5-2) to reconsider the UI Climbing Wall - Motion #14 Mr. Manning suggested students be allowed to determine what fees will be assessed for these types of items, and that the Board only address academic fee increases. Mr. Hall was concerned that it would lead to a minority of students determining fees for the majority. Mr. Manning felt a provision could be placed in policy that a specific number of students, for instance 80 percent, would have to vote. Mr. Agidius asked if there were statutory authority allowing students to mandate fees for the rest of the students without an action by the Board. Mr. Satterlee said the Board has delegated the establishment of student activity fees to the presidents and that it could further delegate that the method of establishment was by student vote with presidential ratification. However, student fees to support student fee revenue bonds must have Board approval. Mr. Manning suggested the Presidents' Council look at areas of Board policy relating to where matriculation and other fees should be spent. Ms. McGee agreed and Dr. Richard Bowen said they would review it and bring a report to the Board.	5/16-17/2001	4-5

It was brought forth to comply with IRS regulations for tax-exempt entities. He will follow-up his statements in writing to the Finance Committee.

Financial	Supplemental Appropriations Requests for FY2002 for Utilities Due to the increases in the cost of utilities, the UI's utility expenses exceeded budgeted amounts by $1M in FY01, with FY02 utilities expected to run an additional $672,000 deficit. Although utility rate increases were projected and there has been implementation of a number of energy saving actions, there will probably not be funds to cover the increased costs other than through reallocation. The Board was asked to consider allowing all of the institutions to request additional funds. It was moved by Mr. Manning and seconded by Mr. Agidius to approve the Supplemental Appropriation Request for FY02 as stated on Pay 17, Item 1.3. No vote taken - Motion #6 It was moved by Mr. Lewis and seconded by Mr. Manning to amend Motion #6 to approve the shortfall for FY02, but not for FY01 - No vote take - Motion #7 It was moved by Mr. Hall to deny the request of a Supplemental Appropriation Request by the University of Idaho.

Mr. Hall asked the institutions to bring information similar to that presented by UI for both FY01 and FY02.

Financial	Supplemental Appropriations Requests for FY02 - Biotechnology Security The FBI has expressed concerns about growing eco-terrorist activities especially for land-grant universities. Confirmed acts of eco-terrorism at the UI combined with documented threats from the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) have necessitated diverting resources for increased facility security. Therefore, the UI asked approval of a Supplemental Request in the amount of $165,000, which would provide one-time funding for a security access control system for the Agricultural Biotechnology Laboratory and the Sixth Street Greenhouse. It was moved by Mr. Manning, seconded and carried (7-0) to approve the supplemental request from the University on Page 21, Item 1.3. - Motion #11	9/20-21/2001	3-4

Idaho Place Initiative	Dr. Robert Hoover said the Boise Initiative Property Development Committee was created to guide the development of the Foundation's new property in Boise. The committee has led the effort in establishing a financing package for the project which was approved by the UI Foundation Directors on April 20, 2001. The stated total cost of $139M includes the Idaho Water Center at approximately $49M and Idaho Place at approximately $90M. Approximately 10 percent of the space will retail with the remaining 90 percent dedicated to educational activities including conference rooms, classrooms, offices, etc. It is intended that the UI Foundation will act as the agent for the tenants with lease payments being made directly to the Foundation. Additionally, any tenant desiring to own their part of the building can do so. Except for lease payments coming from state funds, the project is not dependent on state funding. Mr. Lewis asked for comments on owning versus the leasing of property. It was felt money is better spent on this type of project which allows for growth, ownership potential, long-term permanent facilities, visibility of the project, the benefits from being a catalyst for economic development, etc. than on leasing. Dr. Bowen said ISU would, by the end of summer, be spending over $250,000 per year in lease payments in Boise and with plans for growth, it is in their best interest to locate in the facility. Mr. Hall asked if there was anything that would preclude the other institutions from participating in the project. He was advised that there was not, that they are encouraged to, and that they could enter into a partnership on the same basis as ISU.	6/21-22/2001	2-3

Leases	Mr. Hammond said the current owners want to work with the UI to allow it to take over ranch ownership. The UI feels this will be a good expansion of its agricultural program and this will be a program for research on the raising of cows and calves. It is felt this can be a self-sustaining ranch and, if not, the difference can be supported by the agriculture program. It was moved by Mr. Hammond and carried (7-0) to approve the request from the University of Idaho to 1) acquire real property known as the Hot Springs Ranch in Lemhi County and related personal property and 2) name the real property the Nancy M. Cummings Research, Extension and Education Center as detailed in Item 3.4	6/15-16/2000	10

Leases	In June 1999 the Regents approved planning, design and construction of a separate facility for the College of Business and Economics at an estimated total project cost of $13,300,000. In June 2000 the Regents approved increasing the project budget by $1,100,000 to $14,400,000. Following the June 2000 Board meeting, all bids were reflected and the project was reviewed. The University made some design and scope changes to the project and also identified additional private revenues to meet the resulting project scope. Total project cost will increase from $14,400,000 to $14,820,000. The increase will be funded from private donations. It was moved by Mr. Eaton and carried (7-0)to approve the request from the University of Idaho to revise the project scope of the J.A. Albertson College of Business, including the planning, design and construction of the facility for an estimated total cost of $14,820,000, and increase of $420,000 from the amount approved at the June 2000 Board of Regents meeting. The additional funds will come from private donations.	9/21-22/2000	12
