ITEM 1: Approval of Minutes - Sharon Montgomery moved the February 7, 2002, minutes be approved. Glenn Wilde seconded. Motion carried.

ITEM 2: Call for Additional Agenda Items - The need for a sign on the Interstate to direct people to University Place had been brought up in the Executive Committee meeting prior to the LOC meeting. After discussion, it was determined that the sign should read: "ISU/UI Center for Higher Education at University Place." The sign after John's Hole Bridge should match the lettering. Ann Meikle-Howell suggested the entire logo be used if possible. Action Item: Greg Horton will look into having the appropriate signs placed. Greg also brought up the issue of security. Bob will talk to the Executive Committee regarding this matter.

ITEM 3: Vendor Committee Report –Greg Horton acted on behalf of Lee Krehbiel and Jim Fullerton who were absent. The latest draft of the report was brought to the LOC for review and approval. Lee had drafted this document with the intention of incorporating the suggestions made at the last LOC meeting. An error was pointed out in the last paragraph. It will be corrected to read "reserved for you." The word, "cosmic," should be removed. Bob asked for a motion to approve the policy and get it in our book. Ann Meikle Howell made the motion to accept the policy. Sharon Montgomery seconded. Motion carried. Bob Stiger officially thanked Lee for not only writing the policy but for putting up with the committee’s comments regarding the same.

ITEM 4: Meeting Adjourned – Sharon Montgomery made a motion that the meeting be adjourned. Ann Meikle Howell seconded. Motion carried.
