Present: Sylvia Curtis, Sherry DeDecker, Janet Martorana, Bev Ryan, and Eunice Schroeder. Carol Gibbens and Andrea Duda sent regrets.

The minutes from the LAUC-SB Executive Board meeting on 9 April 2001 were approved with corrections.

The timetables for the upcoming LAUC-SB election and the statewide LAUC election were discussed. Bev Ryan reported that a nomination committee for our local election has been appointed and that nominations are currently being sought for vice chair/chair elect, secretary, chair of CAP, chair of CAAR, and vice chair of CPD. The local election will be held on June 8.

Sherry DeDecker (chair, CAAR) reported on three current searches. She will be chair of the search committee for an English and French literature librarian and Janet Martorana will chair the search committee for a science librarian; LAUC-SB slates have been submitted to Detrice Bankhead for both of these searches. A LAUC-SB slate has also been submitted for the search for AUL for Systems and Technical Services. Sherry will  create a Web page linked to the CAAR page that will list all LAUC-SB members who have served on search committees within the past two years; this will help in selecting slates for future searches.

Sherry also reported that a change in the Bylaws will be proposed that will establish a term limit for the chair of WOM, which is a subcommittee of CAAR.

Sylvia Curtis reported from the statewide LAUC Executive Board meeeting held on 26 April 2001 at UC Irvine. A statewide task force is to be set up that will review procedures for appointments and terms of LAUC representatives to the various UL Advisory groups.

Other issues from the Executive Board meeting, as well as Assembly on 27 April 2001, were discussed: (1) participation of the statewide LAUC president in UL meetings; (2) the search for a CDL UL; and (3) the role of LAUC in the new environment in light of the new MOU.

It was decided that Sylvia will invite Sarah Pritchard to meet with the LAUC-SB Executive Board once every two months.
