Discussed report of diversity of APs at UIC versus UIUC / UIS

PAPEs: If PAPE was less than 3 years old could recertify, but will now have to update PAPES no matter how recently they were approved.
Ac Hourly to Extra Help conversions: discussion regarding situation at UIC and UIUC
CS Audit Update: discussed audit process ; they did not commit about when they would come back; also nothing about the massive amounts of paperwork that we provided them early on and they hadn’t had time to look at yet.
V Communications Committee One mailing in June (first one in months where we only had one); find on AP reclass blog; if any ideas for July email to Melissa
VI Unfinished Business
Audit process: - better method of communicating with other units – role for us as rule making goes forward (Merit Board participation) keep vigilant following what happens at veto session
Insurance – we’re okay through 9/30/11, weeding through some changes to prescription program; may be some issues w/ Delta Dental; they are still anticipating still have additional sign up period, no official announcement at this point;
Pensions – could come up during veto session; possible they were going to schedule some meetings over summer – but nothing yet

Appoint vice chair to CAPE awards committee – Robbie Bauer / Erica Malloch both are present so they can read their statements of interest - SELECTED ERICA MALLOCH TO BE VICE CHAIR
VII New Business/Announcement
Redistricting – need to look at it – have as equal a representation, need to have units as evenly populated as possible; one thought to wait and see if there are conversions from AP to CS, but that would take a lot of time; try to keep ineligible districts together; look at with a working group – should happen relatively quickly will have elections coming up in March. Last redistricting was in 2006.
