The notes were approved.
Budget & Personnel Program Review
Watson presented the Budget & Personnel Program Review and explained the data in detail. The Director, budget analyst and payroll areas remain busy and are processing more paperwork/electronic paperwork than past years. The director duties have expanded with the budgeting and hiring of SSSP and equity employees. Also the introduction of the employment software (Taleo) has greatly impacted the workload of the director. The public works rules for purchasing has also impacted the director. Advances in technology, such as scanners, BDMS, SSB and reports, have improved the workflow and availability of self-service information. The knowledge, experience and efficiency of the budget analyst is key to the area. The introduction of new rules for additional pay has impacted the payroll area. Fortunately, the campus personnel assistant, although relatively new, is knowledgeable, helpful and efficient.
Watson reported that the area would benefit from newer computers and a higher discretional budget.
Cashiering Program Review
Watson presented the Cashiering Program Review and explained the data in detail. There are only three highly qualified and knowledgable employees in this office and they rely heavily on student workers. Watson reported that the area would benefit from a higher discretional budget to pay for student workers and an additional 50% permanent FHDA employee.
