2. GENERAL CONSENT CALENDAR. Due to lack of a quorum, the General Consent Calendar was deferred to the next meeting.

The President said the College has been able to add over 30 percent new faculty because of its dramatic enrollment growth.
   
   
3. ACTION ITEM. Service Area Management Plan for Wasatch County. President Romesburg explained that, as a result of today's Board of Regents meeting, it will no longer be necessary to act on this item; therefore, the item was deleted. He reported, however, that even the donor has changed, the College will probably be receiving a donation of land for a permanent location in Wasatch.

Noting there was 100 percent attendance, the Chair expressed his appreciation to the Board for their tremendous show of support at the November 11 executive session with the Board of Regents.
