   Highlights
   ----------
   a) Overall budget balance available = $199,904
   b) Sabbaticals - remaining balance of $7,924, ; however, these funds will
   be encumbered as related to 12% benefits for those sabbatical awards
   issued for Spring 2000. Therefore, the entire balance will be used
   up for sabbaticals. There is a possibility of a sabbatical cancellation
   of approximately $13,000, but this will not be determined until Dec. mtg.
   d) Prof. Growth awards, to-date, total approximately $97,000 for the first
   4 months of this year, as compared to a budgeted amount of $140,000 for
   the first six months of this year. Based on the monthly numbers, we
   will be within our target budget of $140,000 semi-annual in this
   category.

   Meet and Confer-Ann Barrett: The MAT Meet and Confer Committee suggested the following four issues for discussion. These topics were accepted by the MAT Executive Council.
   
   In addition to the items listed below, the Meet and Confer Committee will include our expectation that increases in steps and cost of living will be provided on a parity with faculty.
   
   The issues are:
   Additional professional growth funds
   Reassign time for the MAT Executive Council President
   Administrative leave for lower grades
   Increase in pay based on achieving additional degrees similar to the
   faculty schedule
   EBAC status change*
   
   *The MAT Executive Council also added one other issue which was concern
   about the changes in the status of EBAC .
   
   It is recommended that this list be sent to the Unit Reps for
   distribution and input by the MAT members at large. Feed back needs to
   be returned to the MAT Executive Council Meet and Confer Committee no
   later than Friday Nov. 5th.
