- Gifts / prizes – change the format so prizes are not all given to people who are not attending.
We also need to revisit the income tax implications of giving prizes.

Christy will draft bulletin announcements for Jan/April, ready for review by early January.
Betsy will draft flier, ready for review by early January.
New Business:
Summary of presentation to TFOB concerning minimum wage rate issues & their impact.
- Mary recommended that the college make required increase happen incrementally:
- $.30 increase across board 08/09.
- $.35 increase across board 09/10.
- First year awards would remain as is for 08/09, since Admissions has already begun mailings. In 2009/10, she recommended that first year award increase to $1800.
- Junior/Senior student awards for Tier II and Tier III levels would be adjusted so that they would be able to work 10 hours per week without exceeding awards, including those in tier II positions or other special circumstances.
- International students’ aid awards would not be adjusted, because there is no current need.
- The academic year Student Employment budget, if approved as requested, would be increased 6.9% overall.
- The proposal did not include a request for an increase in budget for break periods until 2009/10.
Other Business:
- Overall budget figures should be determined sometime in 01/2008. Then Mary & Doug R. will determine how the approved amount is allocated among departments.
Next meeting: 1/10/08. CC 207.
