Motion by Will, seconded by Lombard to approve the minutes of the June 16, 2005 meeting, as mailed.
Motion carried.

Financial Report:

Chair Wedekind distributed a financial report from 1/1/05 to 7/31/05 which indicated an unencumbered balance of $72,884.19; with $32,000.00 being designated to the heating system, the Chair expressed concern in being able to meet 2005 year-end expenses, given the remaining budgetary funds.

Maintenance Report and Approval of Bills:

R. Griffith presented the monthly maintenance report and list of bills. Motion by Haugen, seconded by Will to approve the report and monthly bills, as presented, in the amount of $3,787.52.
Motion carried.

Discussion followed on budgetary issues and approval of monthly bills. Of particular concern was the procedure whereby monthly expenses are approved “after the fact”. Several Commission members felt more information and estimated costs on special projects should be brought to the Commission prior to being initiated.

Motion by Will, seconded by Lombard that all expenditures, other than normal, day-to-day operational costs, come before the UW Campus Commission for review and pre-approval of plans and cost estimates.
Motion carried.

R. Griffith informed Commission members of an upcoming expense, the annual boiler inspection, noting the boiler has been torn down in preparation of the inspection. Commission members agreed this was a routine, operational matter.

Dean’s Report:

No report given.

Discussion of Summer Projects:

R. Griffith reported that most of the summer project have been completed, with some painting, carpet and window installation remaining.

Report on Bidding Procedures.

No report given.

Motion by Lombard, seconded by Mielke to adjourn and set the next, regular meeting date for Thursday, August 18, 2005 at 9:00 A.M.
