Other Business

 

Karin asked for a volunteer to maintain the global list.  She asked if Ed would be interested in the task and he said he would look into getting more information about the list.

 

Acceptance of the June minutes.

 

There was discussion about shift differential and the need to look at the policy for shift differential for clarification as it seems to have a lot of confusion surrounding shift differential.

 

Mark briefed us on the meeting with the Trustees.  He reported they are open to reviewing Sick Pool guidelines.

 

Discussion ensued about the Sick Pool and the proposal draft of the plan that Belinda put together.  Greg offered a suggestion to find a way of measuring cost savings that could occur as an outcome of this initiative.  

 

Next SPPC meeting is September 26th.

 

Development committee has scheduled Pat Madsen to come to Oct. meeting.

 

Respectfully submitted, Erika Clifford
