Srategies for Access - Justification was assigned to the administrators to prepare by 12:00 July 17, 2003.
2. Paina Blessing: Thursday Morning – deferred until Early August
3. Notice of Channel Change; DCCA(Dept. of Commerce & Consumer affairs) MCC Implications – It would be beneficial to attend the public hearings on August 12th. Flo was asked to work with Mike & Kate and present a powerpoint presentation on August 1 as to what will be presented at the public hearing.
4. Admin Decision Making Process: one Executive Committee Meeting? – We will combine the committees and move the meetings to the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month (working around the Board of Regents meetings). The next meeting is August 1st at 2:00 in Kalama 102.
5. Dennis Jones Presentation/Chancellor's Workshop – Jeannie was asked to look at some of our figures as MCC came in last as needing least support and on state support it shows us as needing most and receiving least.
6. Housing developments: Mayor support, Affiliated Student Housing. – We received a favorable response from the Mayor and we forwarded letter of request to Maui Co. Mike Foley will work with us. Affiliated student housing is being looked at but is very expensive on Maui and we need to hire a staff person to monitor drinking of minors.
