Corrective Action Phase I

o Re-key all Exterior Doors
o Implement new Public Safety Operational procedures
Corrective Action Phase II
o Re-key all interior doors
o Implement revised key control policies for new system
Dr. Fry asked that when they are holding certain events possibly on
weekends how would security handle this? Mr. Ellis stated that the campus
police would have to be notified.
Mr. Ellis stated that they are looking at purchasing a new key software
program for the campus. They are also looking at a better way of tagging
identification on new equipment.
Dr. Ettkin expressed concern over all the thefts that have occurred in
Fletcher Hall and the many keys that are passed out for that location. The
labs especially need to be protected. Mr. Ellis stated that Monty Wilson
is working on this and will report back to the committee members.
Campus Moves:
With the upcoming renovations of the University Center and Race Hall, many
departmental moves will be required. Food Services will relocate to the
basement of Guerry Center where the bookstore is now located. Textbooks
will relocate to the 2nd floor of the Administration Building (former
surplus area). The retail items sold in the Bookstore will remain in the
present location. Surplus will be stored in the Barr Building (old
McCallie Bookstore). Race Hall departments will move to the trailers on
Vine Street and Siskin Memorial along with Adult Services. Student
Computer Labs will move to Siskin 105, 106; with 215 also used as a lab
beginning Fall 2002. University Center staff offices and Student
Development will move to Pfeiffer Hall and North Stadium. Ms. Gladden
asked about handicapped access for these areas. Mr. Ellis noted that this
is being addressed as necessary for each move. Dr. Ettkin asked if these
moves have been budgeted and Mr. Ellis stated that some of the capital
project money may pick up some of the costs.
There were no agenda items to vote on, only informing everyone of the
renovation on campus. A motion was made by Mrs. Dodd to adjourn and
seconded by Dr. Ettkin. Motion carried and the meeting was adjourned.
