3. Consent Agenda.
Regent Dukes stated that given that today's meeting is a regular scheduled meeting, the board would like to revise the consent agenda, which includes the meeting minutes from previous meetings to also include policies requiring action included in the agenda—the Financial Clearance and Collection Policy, Property Purchase, Beverage Agreement Policy, Faculty Workload Policy, Attendance Policy, Weapons and Dangerous Materials Policy, Community Standards Policy, Vacation Leave Policy, Student Employment Policy and Overtime Policy. If any Regent would like to talk about a particular policy to please advise and it will move out of consent to be discussed.
Regent Hatchett said he realized that in the course of reading the board book for the meeting that they are forever seeing language that indicates that they are in compliance with SACS requirements. He said he wonders if President Akakpo or Dr. Dailey or someone could describe the process by which their conformity with SACS requirement is assured because they've had so many policies presented. Regent Hatchett said he wants to make sure that they have a procedure in place that they are comfortable with.
Dr. Akakpo said at the retreat the new president of SACSCOC will be at the meeting and he will be free to ask him any questions. Dr. Akakpo added that they are in compliance.
Regent Fields had a question on the beverage policy with Pepsi. Secretary Sergent said that it's a contract. Regent Fields asked is it a continuation and Secretary Sergent said it is the same vendor chosen.
Regent Moyer asked if Chair Dukes could call off the names of the policies again. Chair Dukes agreed to do so. Regent Moyer asked if they could hold the faculty workload policy. Chair Dukes agreed to remove the faculty workload policy from the consent agenda.
Regent Moseley asked if they put out for RFP or a bid or anything on the beverage policy. He mentioned the broken scoreboards in the gym and asked if Pepsi is doing anything to earn their business.
Secretary Sergent said there was a request for a proposal and there were bids and they were the winning bid per KRS 45A.
Regent Moseley asked if they could see what they won in the bid or what the proposal was. Secretary Sergent responded that it will be part of the financial group presentation.
Chair Dukes said they will pull that out for Regent Moseley.
Chair Dukes said she wanted to make a clarification that the property purchase is not a policy, but it's purchase of property that's included in the board book.
Regent Hatchett asked if the budget will be a separate agenda item that they will talk about today. Chair Dukes responded yes.
Regent Hatchett asked if it was going to be with the other group of things that they are putting on the consent agenda. Chair Dukes responded no.
