3. Salary Survey - Ideas discussed:
    

   	The idea of a Focus group at WAPL conference was brought up
   	Divide Category A (1-1,599) and (1,600-3,000) due to re-classification needs-P. Chevis to review this situation
   	Have the Salary Survey AND Benefits annually, but simplify the Benefits section
   	Retain paper format with PDF and print-out the 1st year? or just do an On-line, printable form? - 2nd year has everyone fill out survey on-line”
   	Send out Salary Survey in February again
   	Suggestions:  Benefits section could have pull-downs with definitions; keep it Simple - P. Chevis to work on this format idea - another idea is to have the Library Systems more involved in the process - Column with Total Hours could have help windows
   	Classification changes:  match title to classification/definition (to define position)
   	Annual Hours
   	Either/Or - Range of Position salary - Rate/Hourly - Online version would force either Rate or Range
   	Overall format of Salary Survey and Benefits could be re-designed (Consult Josh Morrill on this)
   	Want Specialized Reports - sort on all fields/Customizable reports - P2C2 could pay up to $125.00 - Script by Josh Morrill for committee
   	Get Karen Kreager, Dave Poladna, Tom Hennen to advise committee on contents of script
   	Could have two different reports - ask Josh Morrill
   	Source Document on disk only? - Union vs. non-union; geographical location, median salary/range of salary, etc.
   	Invite Josh Morrill to next meeting? Revisions, costs, etc.
   	P. Chevis to e-mail her ideas and will do examples of what the committee asks with details
   	Josh Morrill to make up Draft based on all these things
   	Reviewed 1st page of Salary Survey and eliminated several questions
   	Josh Morrill to get draft to committee by September 2005?

    

4. Other Conference Programs:
   A. Spring 2006 conference program ideas? -- None at this time
   B. Other Continuing Educational Ideas – Possibility of doing the Positions Document workshop again – could take it on the road as a PowerPoint presentation or as a continuing ed. workshop for library systems – possibility of committee members doing the workshop for their system libraries
    
5. WAPL Newsletter Ideas – P. Wanninger to get out press releases on the Positions Document; add sub-title to include “Representative Job Descriptions” – ALA, Library Journal and Public Librarian – possibly feel out Neal Shuman publishers – could the Positions Document be a program for PLA?
    
6. Committee Membership and Officers – Priscilla Grittner does not want to continue on the committee – need to find someone to replace her (Category A); does Barb Roark want to continue on the committee? – need to ask her (Category D) – send all member suggestions to Connie Meyer – the committee would be willing to move its meetings further north in order to accommodate new members – would remote conferencing be a possibility in the future? Patty Wanninger will be the new P2C2 Chair beginning Jan. 2006 when Connie Meyer steps down.
