LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MINUTES
July 28, 2010

1.  Attendance
Board members present: Bob Ackerman, Pat Albright, Roger Hall, Susie Johnston, Gary LeClair, and Sharon Stiles. Also present were: President Mary Spilde; Associate Vice President Greg Morgan; and Legal Counsel Meg Kieran.

A. Chair McCown called the meeting to order at 4:20 p.m.

2. Discussion/Action Items
A. Resolution No. 556, Reauthorization of Community College Rules of Procurement
Spilde explained that as of July 1, Lane is subject to the Attorney General rules of procurement. Local contracting agencies may either adopt their own rules of procedure or be bound by the model rules. In some instances, the Attorney General's rules do not provide for the flexibility the college requires to maximize effective procurement strategies, economic efficiencies and public accountability.

The revised rules of procurement have been reviewed by legal counsel. There was a slight disagreement by the college's purchasing coordinator, but what legal counsel is suggesting is in better interest of the college.

Hall moved to pass Resolution No. 556 which adopts the revised Community College Rules of Procurement, and authorize the college president (or designee) to make such other changes in college purchasing policy and procedure as shall be consistent with the board policy and beneficial to the college. LeClair seconded.

Motion passed unanimously.

Meeting adjourned at 4:34 p.m.
