Curt Groninga will coordinate the committee's first meeting date and location.

5. COLLEGE COUNCIL UPDATE: EXISTING POLICY REVIEW AND COMMITTEE STRUCTURE: Dianne Smith updated the Institutional Planning Council on the current component review of existing college policy and procedures. Additionally, she updated the status of the current review of committee functions and membership. Dianne indicated the goal is to have an updated and reviewed policy manual to the Board by the end of 2000/01. A chapter by chapter review is underway and the Board will receive completed chapter reviews and any suggested additions and modifications on an on-going basis throughout the current academic year. As to the committee information, Diane hopes to have this update completed for the thirty-two (32) standing committees and eight (8) presidential advisory committees before the completion of the Fall Semester.

6. EDUCATIONAL MASTER PLANNING: Ed made a brief presentation on EPCC's thoughts about the development of an "integrated" educational plan. He handed out the attached preliminary outline which indicates the integration of the planning activities of several component, instructional and student service areas. This topic will become an on-going IPC agenda item. Ed plans to provide a more detailed outline of the educational planning process at the next IPC meeting (October 9th).
