CITO Update
Mike Graham supplied the committee with a proposal from Health & Human Performance for Physical Therapy equipment that is needed for accreditation. He explained the university would have picked up the cost for this request; however all of the community support funds have been frozen to deal with the budget contingencies. Therefore, Mike is submitting to the TASC committee in hopes that they would consider funding. He said the proposal is entirely for student lab. Clay Moreau motioned to approve the Health & Human Performance request for Physical Therapy equipment up to what the Community Enhancement agreed to fund. Dr. George Mead seconded. The committee voted to approve and motion carries.

Mike provided a hand-out for the Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory for the TASC committee to review and possibly consider because this is the only other request specifically
for students that community support approved for funding.

After a short discussion, Tim Rye motioned to accept the Col-of-Engineering proposal even though it was submitted late. Kyle Anderson seconded. The committee voted to approve and motion carries.

Mike asked the committee to consider setting aside TASC money for the coming fiscal year to provide projector bulbs and other parts and repair of projectors, to expire at the end of April 2010, with the money to be returned to the TASC budget after the expiration date.
Following a discussion, Kyle Anderson motioned to approve $25,000.00 for supplies during the period of April 3, 2009 thru June 30, 2010 if a direct request to Mike Graham is received for TASC equipment for projector bulbs and repair of TASC projectors. Tim Rye seconded. The committee voted to approve and motion carries.

Mike informed the committee he ordered two HP printers for the TASC Holbrook Lab using his $10,000.00 stipulation. He asked the committee to consider purchasing another HP printer for the TASC Library Lab and stated the new printers are duplex printers.

Mike reported there were two things discovered regarding the dorms. 1) A student was running a router in his dorm room and 2) there was a problem with the trunkline being duplex causing only half of what is actually going to the dorms to get there. Mike said both items have been addressed.
