    2. Request for GWAVA Anti Virus & Anti Spam software - $3,400
    3. Request to send staff to I-Teach conference - $2,500
    4. Denied request for Gale Literary Database as it was felt this expenditure was division specific and, therefore should utilize that particular division's non-personnel surplus.
  2. There was discussion on re-allocating non personnel funds based on either substantial increases or substantial decreases in FYEs and/or FTEs over the last two to three year period. More information was needed. Tabled until next meeting.
