ITEM 1: Approval of minutes from the last meeting - Bob Stiger asked for approval of the minutes. Several changes were requested followed by discussion regarding the content and format of the minutes. Bob Stiger asked to table the discussion on the minutes until after Agenda Item 3 was addressed.
ITEM 2: Call for additional agenda items - There were no additional items.
ITEM 3: LOC Minutes and Web Site Options – Dave Anderson described options for password protection of LOC Minutes. Verbatim versus summary format was discussed. Jennifer suggested the minutes be patterned after the State Board of Education and the video tape of the meeting be archived for reference. It was moved by Glenn Wilde and seconded by Jennifer Fisher that meeting minutes consist of a summary of the issues discussed, focused on those issues in a very succinct form. Secondly, the type of actions and the individuals who will take those actions be in a summary form and that these be published on the web. The motion was modified to include "motions" and carried. Action Item: Carol Spain will modify the February minutes in the approved format and bring them back for approval at the next meeting before placing them on the web site.
ITEM 4: I. F. Chamber of Commerce Ad - Jennifer Fisher moved and Sharon Montgomery seconded that UI and ISU jointly sponsor the ad in the Chamber of Commerce publication. Dennis Allen suggested the advertisement be reviewed for current information prior to going to press. The motion was modified to include review and carried.
ITEM 5: Interim Security Plan – Lee introduced the plan for comment and discussion. Need, cost qualifications, training and connection to security were discussed. Item 5 was then tabled until Item 6 was discussed.
ITEM 6: Parking Committee Report - Greg Horton presented the Parking Committee Recommendations (attachment). It was moved by Jennifer Fisher, seconded by Glen Wilde and carried that we not start the parking enforcement now. That we, in fact, consider having everything up and ready by fall 2001. That we let students know through mail and other forums that this is going to happen. That we introduce the idea to the campus and to all the parties that are going to be involved. That we enforce parking regulations and we begin charging parking fees Fall Semester 2001 and, perhaps with that, we begin giving warning tickets.
ITEM 5 (Continued): Interim Security Plan – Jennifer Fisher moved and Sharon Montgomery seconded that we approve the interim proposal to hire a security officer for University Place until June when the previously approved Security Plan goes into effect and that we ask Lee to work out the shared cost. If the shared cost can’t be worked out, ISU is prepared to fund it. Jennifer recommended Steve Chatterton take the following actions to prepare for the permanent position to begin after July 1: Write a position description to start the search for a full-time security person, bring the description to the next LOC meeting for approval, call for a state register and begin the hiring process. There was consensus from the LOC to take those actions.
ITEM 7: Adjournment - Ann Meikle-Howell moved the meeting adjourn. Carol Baldwin seconded the motion. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 11:25 a.m. MST.

Recommendations
April 10, 2001
Because of the proximity of this campus with ISU in Pocatello, the committee recommends that regulations and fees be kept similar to avoid conflicts in selling permits and enforcing regulations. Therefore we recommend:
Other agreements need to be reached concerning the INEEL Technical Library parking and the auditorium use. We must wait on the Tech Library lease to be finalized before a decision can be made.
