A reply on April 22 to an older post has raised some interesting questions. Here's a repost of that 4/22 reply and the policy it refers to so blog readers (now over 10,000 hits!) don't have to go searching for it in the comments to older posts.
Here's the comment:
Policy #5610 which was discussed in January and passed by the board in February gives the board of trustees the power of acceptance or non acceptance of all volunteers at the college. All departments including the athletic department had to submit a list of all volunteers for the board to act on. This action should be discussed at the April 29th board meeting. There are several people who volunteer their time without any compensation at all for the school in alot of departments. Wonder what dept. will come under fire the most due to this new policy? Can anyone get that policy on this blog so we can all read it and understand it prior to board action. It is an old policy which really was not enforced but when volunteers had to sign papers prior to this next board meeting it looks like the board will act on individuals on the 29th. Isn't that when new board members take office? Quite interesting to the entire staff and faculty.
And here's the policy – interesting that it looks like it was just adopted in February as the campaigning was in full swing! Wonder who the target is?
Volunteer Staff 5610
John A. Logan College is authorized to recruit and utilize people who desire to provide voluntary service to College departments, programs, and activities. The executive director of human resources shall be responsible for administering the volunteer staff employment program. Volunteers shall be approved individually by the Board of Trustees. Volunteer staff shall receive no remuneration. However, with prior approval from the area vice-president, a volunteer staff member may receive reimbursement for authorized meal expenses, mileage expenses, and overnight accommodations in accordance with College policy.
Adopted: February 26, 2013
Wonder if the Illinois Community College Trustees Association lists this as a duty of Board members? Brewer, Rendleman, and Kilquist must stay up late plotting new ways to micromanage and retaliate (and reading this blog, of course!)
Looks like the Volunteers may have to change their name! How about the Brewerettes or Rendleman Raiders? And note who's in charge of this "program" -- #1 son Clay Brewer. Is it possible for these men to look any more ridiculous?
ReplyDeleteI think this has been removed from the April 29 agenda.
ReplyDeleteAn item that may be innocuous, but which may be of interest to you all at Muddy Williamson, is item XII.C. Adjustment to President’s Contract. It is requested that the Board of Trustees authorize College legal counsel to draft a memorandum which eliminates Section XI (Buyout of Contract) in the president’s contract.
Also of interest would be item XI.E Destruction of Verbatim Recordings of Closed Session. In compliance with revisions made to the Open Meetings Act, the Board of Trustees has kept a verbatim tape recording of all closed sessions since January of 2004. The law states that the verbatim recording of a closed meeting may be destroyed after 18 months upon approval of the Board. The Board of Trustees has periodically approved destruction of recordings in accordance with this time frame. College legal counsel has recommended that the Board now approve destruction of the closed session recordings through October 25, 2011.
Given that there is some question as to what took place, and when, at a closed meeting at which a sitting Board member may have been selected for a position at the college, maybe these recordings should be preserved.
