This was the second meeting of the fiscal year 2000-2001. The meeting was called to order by Debi Olson, President.

A motion to approve the meeting minutes of September 9, 2000 was made by Marsha and seconded by Stephanie.

Marlies reported that the balance in the account is $1,875.03. Invoices for membership dues were sent to each member in September. Membership dues have been received from the following: UNR, WNCC, UNLV, GBC, BCN and TMCC. If payment has not been submitted for your campus and you need another invoice, please contact Marlies at (775) 784-4566.

Debi reported that the conference planning is "going well". The Tahoe Queen cruise is almost complete. Barbara Wilson will make contact with area golf courses.

Karin reported this audio conference series is very interesting and provides an opportunity for campuses to pick and choose which topics they would like to participate in. The cost is approximately $50 per session, and each location would need to sign up separately. UNLV has participated in previous sessions and has signed up for future sessions. Karin said that there’s no need to take notes, because the transcript is sent after the session is over. She also stated these sessions may give us topics to discuss at future chapter meetings. The sessions are outlined on the CUPA website, however Debi will fax the list of topics to the campuses.

Debi suggested signing up for some sessions and having the different campuses sit-in on the sessions at Computing Services in Reno. Also, if CCSN or GBC would like to order some sessions, they could. Debi asked if we could use chapter funds for this purpose and the group decided that if the chapter benefits from the usage, it would be allowed.

Please send your nomination to Matt Garland as soon as possible since the information needs to get to CUPA National by January 1, 2001. Also, if you would like to participate on the Road Runner Nominating Committee, contact Matt.

Larry Hamilton will present this information at the next meeting.

PHONE DIRECTORY UPDATE - Karin has completed the directory except for some changes that have recently occurred. The directory will be easily accessible on the UNLV HR web site Nevada Chapter link. Also, a copy will be sent to each campus. Karin will have the directory completed by December 1, 2000.

ON-SITE CUPA CHAPTER MEETING SUGGESTIONS – Robin gave an update for Missy Cottle. Karin, Jennifer, Robin and Judy Sambrano submitted four excellent topics. They are: Telecommuting/flextime, alternate work schedule arrangements; responsibilities of Human Resources regarding recruitment and affirmative action; policies/views at each campus regarding internet/e-mail for personal use; and background investigations on high level positions.

It was decided that the meeting would take place in the Reno area at the end of January or in early February. E-mail your suggestions for locations to Missy.

There being no further business, Robin motioned to adjourn the meeting. Stephanie seconded.
