added to the update. Maile
discussed the section on page three of the document that states the five
offices that are exempt from mandatory reporting comments. There was a brief discussion. Pat Arkema then asked if there was
anything that they needed from Staff Council. Jan asked that any additional comments be sent to her.

Ricketts and Linda Noble from Parking and Transportation, and Ray Haas,
chair of the Parking and Transportation Charter Committee, were present to

Dave briefly explained the handout and the need for parking rate
increases. There were a few
questions raised by Councilors and some brief discussion. This was to serve as a first
presentation. The group will
return to a future Staff Council meeting for further discussion of the
proposal.
