2. Question Time – Dean Wilkin updated EC on the following:

 

• The architecture and engineering contract has been approved and an announcement will be going out to LibNews. Communications are being coordinated with the Provost’s Office.

We’ve identified a little over a half million dollars in unencumbered funds after fulfilling the commitments for the budget reduction and salary program. We have positions that have been held vacant or otherwise not filled equivalent to about $1.2 million. We’ll finish that work of identifying the positions and get them to EC and LSSC/LCAP as soon as possible for a joint conversation about prioritization.
