New walking/bike path

Lowell Rasmussen distributed a diagram of the proposed new walking/bike path from UMM to WCROC. He plans to meet with a citizens group next week and is seeking the endorsement of this committee to proceed. The funding source would come from security parking fee reserves and Plant Services. Arne Kildegaard made a motion to support the proposed plan. Second by Tim Soderberg. Motion passes.

Capital Campaign

Maddy Maxeiner gave a presentation on the next Capital Campaign which we need to be ready for by June 2008. During the last Campaign, UMM raised 9.6 million dollars. Maxeiner is hoping CRPC will help lay the groundwork for the next Campaign and added that next year we will need to get serious about how to proceed. One important step will be to attach dollar amounts to priorities.
