Follow-up on the minutes:

John Desch, Campus Planner was invited to the meeting but was unable to attend. He will be invited to a future meeting.

Steve Carlson investigated the possibility of including a check-off list of ergonomic requirements in the ADA job format. It is too complicated to be worth doing. Linda Busha said those with questions about ergonomic requirements are welcome to call Human Resources.

4. Next year

The ADA Coordinator position is being moved to Human Resources.
