MINUTES

CCCUE General Membership Meeting

Monday, December 10, 2001

1. Report from Kathleen Schaefer from the Insurance Committee December 7 meeting minutes. Sign ups for the 125 Plans will be during the next couple of weeks. You must sign up now if you wish to continue or initiate the 125 Plan. Faculty has chosen to obtain separate medical insurance through SISC and has opted for 100% participation. There will be a campus-wide forum in February on insurance options and Section 125. Committee members need to attend to get feedback from staff. Classified must notify management by May 2 if they decide to go with SISC and choose to have 100% participation. Must send SISC a letter of intent. We should get more information on companies available. Kathleen will get the list of companies “Gabe” has contacted.

2. Sharon Brazell has transferred to the position of Administrative Assistant to Vice President Gil Stork and is no longer a part of the classified employees. We need to replace her position on the Insurance Committee. Kathleen Schaefer nominates Kathy Thorp-Silva. By vote of the Executive Board, Kathy is approved for membership on the Insurance Committee.

3. An Insurance Sub-committee will be established to help research insurance companies. Members are Ilene French, Sandy Amborn, Denise McDonough, Beth Wimer and Catherine Werst. They will meet after the next Insurance Committee meeting. Issues to determine – What does 100% participation do to the pre-93 employees. Also, determine if the rate proposals are for all groups and get the rates for each individual group and the combined groups by company.

4. Catherine Werst assured members that the Negotiation Team is very aware of employee concerns and they will represent employee needs. Eighteen items are being negotiated during this time. Interest Based Bargaining remains a good way to negotiate.

5. Recall Issue –

1. Must have signatures of 30% of the membership.

2. Membership must then vote on whether to recall or not.

3. If the decision is made to recall, the board member(s) step down and the Board can either appoint an interim member or hold a special election. The Board cannot appoint for a full term. Only until the regularly scheduled general election.

6. Louie Rossa-Quade notes that although members do not want chaos, the President is not doing his job. He asserts that there has never been an outside audit of the books and that when reassigned time was offered by management the offer was refused.

Meeting adjourned.

Thanks to the Hospitality Committee for the great refreshments.

Respectfully submitted by

Beth Wimer
