Dennis Colliton reported on action of the Planning Subcommittee for issues listed on the agenda. Discussion occurred regarding Item D, Sculpture Pads. It was suggested that this program for temporary display of students= artwork be reevaluated in five years. It was also suggested that the agreement include language that the University not be held liable if artwork is stolen and that the student is responsible for costs of restoration to artwork if damaged. Dennis Colliton moved that actions of the Planning Subcommittee be approved including the sculpture agreement with amendments. Thomas Buckhoff seconded. Motion carried.

Dick Rayl provided background information for a possible Technology Park to be located on the NDSU campus. The purpose of the Technology Park would be to develop partnerships with private industry to provide opportunities for faculty and students to work with industries, and in some instances, may also share scientific equipment. A Technology Park has been included in the NDSU master plan since 1993. A feasibility study will be conducted to determine if it would be beneficial for NDSU to become involved in a Technology Park.

Dick Rayl initiated discussion for directional signage to be located east of 18th Street on 12th Avenue North and 19th Avenue North. Discussion occurred regarding advertising on the signage and, if not, the alternative for costs associated with the signage would come from parking fine and permit dollars. There were concerns expressed regarding the University as a site for advertising and for the message board. Mr. Rayl will develop a questionnaire for the committee to provide input prior to the next meeting.

Tim Lee distributed information providing parking lot projects proposed for 1999-2002 and the income that would be generated from parking permits at costs of $35, $50, $55 and $60 per year. Campus forums will be held prior to the next meeting of the Campus Space and Facilities Committee.

Dick Rayl reported that the State Board of Higher Education will be requesting an update to the Campus Master Plan. One of the issues to be resolved prior to preparing this document is the format to be used, i.e., will all campuses be required to have the same format or can the master plan be unique to the mission and needs of the institution.
