BUSINESS:

1. Was briefed by Walt Branson on a variety of issues of interest to BAS.
1. He noted that there is always a chance that the state budget may be opened during the upcoming short session of the legislature. If so, IPFW’s first priority for recurring monies would be equity funding and its first priority for non-recurring funding would be library renovation followed closely by additional funds to complete the renovation of Kettler Hall.
2. With respect to the monies (requested by Indiana University as a service charge) that have been escrowed pending resolution of the general issue of IU service charges, the issue has been resolved. There will be no future service-charge payments by IPFW to IU. This will result in an annual savings to IPFW of approximately $250,000. Also, the escrowed account has approximately one million dollars in it.
3. Both the annual savings and the escrowed account monies noted above are not going to be reallocated until funding of the 18/20-retirement program for IU employees at IPFW is resolved with IU. That is, there is some discussion to fund IPFW’s portion of the projected liability with these monies. The IPFW administration is taking the lead in these negotiations. Negotiations were supposed to have been completed by July, but that did not occur. No meeting scheduled currently.
4. Planning for the next biennial budget request will start in February/March 2000 with submission of the request expected to occur during summer 2000. Priorities will be the same as noted above in "a".
5. A question about the allocation of last year’s faculty increment funds below the school level will be given to interim VCAA Hannah by Branson.
2. BAS asked Branson to be kept informed of proposed solutions to funding of the 18/20 retirement program liability before any final deal is struck.
