Facilities Committee Meeting
April 25, 2006 

Attendees:  Don Berger, Jeff Kenney, Dennis Hoyle, Dawn Gartlehner, Jess Garcia, Steve Hodgdon, Julie Hartz, Shannon Clark, Jon Powell, Rebecca Kirstein and John Miller. 

The task for the meeting is to determine a list of priorities which reflects our mission and best interest of students and staff. 

Committee members reviewed and discussed the large budget items first. 

Miscellaneous notes/comments:
Jess suggested that we ask SAS if we could use their greenhouse.  The request for more tennis courts is not workable due to lack of land.  Expansion of Fitness Center to include “Hall of Fame” would be nice to have but not a “have to have”.  The expansion of the Fitness Center could be included in the physical space assessment. 

The vote for large budget items was:
(36 votes)        FA hand winch/AC ducts
(32 votes)        Upfit the dining hall
(31 votes)        field house
