Dean's Report:

Dean Brophy reported on the following items:

Library security system is installed and operational.

Bids were received for the installation of the computer wiring for the Fine Arts building from 3 firms and Dean Brophy recommended acceptance of the bid from Hill Electric in the amount of $8436.00 as it is the low bid. This amount is about $2000.00 more than budgeted as the vendors all indicated that after checking of all factors the job could not be done for the amount originally estimated. Motion by Lombard, seconded by Haugen to award the contract to install the computer wiring to Hill Electric in the amount of $8436.00. Motion carried.

Certificates of appreciation were presented to Lombard and Will for their service on the Campus Commission by Dean Brophy.

Discussion was held regarding the LLC but no action was taken.

Motion by Haugen, seconded by Lombard to adjourn and set the next, regular meeting date for Thursday, April 20th, 2006 at 9:00 A.M. Motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:33 A.M.
