NEW BUSINESS: Provost Berman will allow the council $250 for year 2008 and if we have any
  expenses from 2007 he would be willing to help with payment. Bobbie reported
  that their union meeting with the Chancellor went quite positively. Bobbie 
  brought up that a Civil Service annual award like the AP "CAPE" award should 
  be instituted for the Civil Service personnel as well as a "Civil Serv. Appreciation
  Day". The Chancellor stated that formal proposals be submitted to Ed Wojcicki. 
  The Chancellor expressed his desire that the residing students in the new     
  residence hall have designated parking areas and that he would work towards
  faculty/staff "only" parking lots but nothing is firm at this time. Janice expressed
  need for signage for CSAC ie.letterhead, envelopes, logo etc.  
  The CSAC web-site is being revised.      
               
OLD BUSINESS: Jamie and Michelle are still lining up a start date for the golf outing; stating   
  that it will have to take place after the State Farm Classic probably in Sep.

  monthly mandatory meeting so that the participants can receive release time.

  CSAC representative. There are two new committees formed, one is to submit 
  a proposal for the Appreciation Day and the other is to submit a proposal for 
  the new Civil Service award.
