Vice-Chair David Brothers called the meeting to order at 1:10 p.m.

The minutes from the Sept. 15, 2000, meeting were read but could not be approved due to a lack of quorum. The minutes from the Sept. 29. 2000, meeting were not read.

Brothers reported that several items were presented at the Executive Staff meeting as follows:

The MAC operating budget of $13,250 was approved.
This budget will include the 2001 Diversity Conference, provided we use Ramada Inn. (MAC may have to obtain bids.)
There will be an alternate method of billing divisions for the conference to alleviate the time required to do so.
The topics for the conference were approved except for the one dealing with boards and commissions.
The department's Strategic Plan was approved.

DEQ has selected its division representatives, who are Rachel Griffin and Kevin Johnson. Ken Purvis is the alternate. MAC could not approve without a quorum.

The subcommittee assignments were read, and Brothers asked that subcommittees meet before the next MAC meeting, which will be Nov. 8, 2000.

Minutes respectfully submitted by Terry Sheffield, secretary.
