Dedecker thanked the outgoing Executive Board for their hard work and support. DeDecker then introduced the incoming chair, Martorana.

Martorana greeted the incoming committee chairs and the LAUC-SB Secretary for the 99/00 term. She and the outgoing board thanked DeDecker for her work this past year and presented her with a UCSB mug.

Martorana requested that each chair give the annual reports and their concerns for the next term. She plans to develop new charges for each committee based on these issues.

CAAR (S. Curtis)

A draft of CAAR's report was distributed. Curtis recommended the following, to establish better communication between the library administration and librarians when interviews are scheduled and to develop a manual for future search committee chairs as a guide to conducting searches. Curtis will talk to Pritchard about the implementation of the procedural changes that LAUC-SB has approved.

CAP (L. Hayman)

The incoming Chair, Hayman gave the outgoing Chair's report in Korenic's absence. In 1998/99 CAP began reviewing the "Procedures for Appointment and Review, Librarian Series, University of California, Santa Barbara" for currency. The Committee would like to be charged with continuing that review. Hayman noted that any recommendations for change or update, if there are any, need to be addressed in concert with the Library Personnel Office (Detrice Bankhead) and the full LAUC membership.

Status of the 1998/99 academic reviews: Pritchard has read all the reviews and is in the midst of preparing letters to go to individuals. One review has not yet been submitted. This year, after making decisions and writing letters, Pritchard will discuss the reviews as a group with the AVC-Academic Personnel. She will subsequently clarify the process for reconsideration and higher review.

CPD (N. Llamas and L. Lueck)

The committee submitted a proposal for professional development funding to Pritchard and it was approved with minor changes. A formal memo from Pritchard explaining the funding will be sent to all LAUC-SB members. As CPD revises the travel guidelines for this year, she would like the committee to 1) define and provide examples of administrative travel, and 2) provide examples of organizations which would meet the criteria for professional development.

Program Committee (J. Martorana)

Encouraged by the discussion on review procedures, the Program Committee will explore planning a program that will focus on topics such as, administrators' expectations for reviews and their interpretations of the criteria for advancement and promotion.

Martorana will charge the Program Committee to prepare a By-laws amendment proposal, formalizing the duties and responsibilities of the Program Committee and its Chair.

Meetings (J. Martorana)

Martorana proposed that we follow a similar meeting schedule from last year which worked well. LAUC-Exec will meet every two weeks and the LAUC-SB Business meetings will be held once a month.

The LAUC Fall Assembly will be on November 18, 1999 at the University of California, at Santa Cruz. They have created a website at,

http://library.ucsc.edu/lauc/assembly

The Spring Assembly will be here on our campus, but no date has been decided. DeDecker has volunteered to chair the Assembly Planning Committee and will need volunteers to help her with the planning.

LAUC Statewide proposal

Martorana gave a brief update on the status of the LAUC Statewide Proposal to increase steps to the Librarian Salary Series. The University Librarians support the idea and created a Task Force that developed a proposal in collaboration with LAUC President K. Lucas. This proposal has been submitted also to the Office of the President.

Martorana announced that the two remaining vacant slots to the LAUC Statewide representatives have been filled. Chiu will continue to serve as the LAUC-SB representative to the Committee on Professional Governance. Duda will serve as our representative to the Committee on Library Plans and Policies. Both appointments are for two year terms.

The meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m.
