Enforcement Training Program which was inaugurated January 10, 1950* the need for a short time subsidy has become apparent.

"The reports of those who have attended the schools this year have been positive in every vray. Enrollments have consistently risen and we are very optimistic for the future. "This letter is to request an appropriation in the amount of $5»000 to keep the program opera-ting for the next twelve months after which time we are certain it will carry itself." 10, The Administrative Group recommends that the Upper Peninsula Experiment Station at Chatham be designated as an Extension Center where work can be taken for residence credit.

Discussion of recent action taken by the State Civil Service Commission increasing salaries • \ I I Approval of \ wage adjHst-i merits for ' college per- sonnel approved* i and wages of all state employees from l\ to 16 per cent and the recent action of the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan increasing salaries and wages by 6 per cent, b. Discussion of recent conversations with Mr. Steadrnan and Governor Williams with reference to their recommendation that the College go as far as it can in adjusting salaries to -put them more nearly in line with those paid at the University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of Minnesota, and other comparable institutions. c. It is proposed? (1) to adjust all wage rates for all personnel on the labor payroll approximately 7 per cent. (2) to adjust the salaries of all persons on the classified salary roll — clerks, secre- taries, et cetera (as -per schedule dated December 21, 1951» on file with these minutes). (3) to make a salary adjustment of $30 per month for all salaried employees holding Board appointments up to and including those making $5200 per year and to make a blanket ad- justment of ? per cent for those receiving more than $5200 per year . (k) the total estimated cost of this adjustment paid from budget funds is $877,097 per annum or $V38»5^3 for the balance of this fiscal year. (5). the Board should authorise submission of a deficiency request of $^38*5^8 to cover item (h) (6) in addition to the cost~of-living adjustment, a salary equalization adjustment for cer- tain members of the faculty is proposed at an annual cost of $19^*395. We will have sufficient savings within the current budget to provide for this item, On motion of Mr. Akers, seconded by Dr# Smith, it. was voted to approve the recommendations as out- lined above* to be effective for all salaried employees on January 1 and for hourly paid employees for the pay period beginning nearest January 1» 1952* 2. If the Board approves the general uage increase which is being recommended, the question arises as to whether some adjustment should be made in pension for those now retired* SPECIAL MISCEIiAKEOUS, continued 2. Pension increases? continued: A study of our retirement payroll revealed the following'distribution of pensions among the 153 employees nov: on retirement; KTuraber on Retirement Amount of Pension January 3, 1952 38 18 16 11 2 16 $600 601 - 900 901 - 1200 1201 - 1500 1501 - 1800 1801 - 2400 2601 - 2640 Adjustment of $10 per month or 7$ increase in retired employeesf salaries approved* Nineteen of the 38 employees now receiving the minimum pension of $600 were employed by the College for 15 or less years* The average length of service for all retired employees is 26 years. Under our present rules, an employee earning less than $5300 annually requires 34 years of., service to earn a pension of 50 per cent of his regular salary* Employees earning more than $5300 can earn the maximum pension of $2640• vritb 'fewer years of service inasmuch as pensions based on-length of service and average annual earnings. If the Board approves some increase for retired employees* Mr,. May suggests that it be a fixed amount per month rather than a percentage increase. As a guide to the Board in considering this problem,•'a $10 per month increase would cost $18»36O per year for the 153 people now-on retire- ment. On motion of Mr. Bro&y, seconded "by Mr. Mueller* it. was voted to approve a salary adjustment of $10 per month or 7$» whichever is greater, on the pensions paid retired entployees* to "be effective January 1, 1.952. • * 3. Recommendation from Mr. Poster* Mr. McDonel* and Mr. May that additional freezer space "be in- stalled in the Pood Storage .Building at a cost of approximately $56t000. Mr. May suggests that this item be financed in the following manner: Additional \ freezer | space | approved for ; iPood Stores tlln September of this year bank loans from the Detroit banks were paid in full. To pay off the loans I had to use anticipated earnings for the current year from Shaw Dormitory and the $10 allocation of out-o«state fees. With the repayment of the loans, Shaw Dormitory earnings are no longer pledged for retirement of any debt. "I would like to suggest to the Board that the cost of improvements in the Food Storage 'Build- ing be "borrowed-from the Hesearve for Bemoval and Expansion of Auxiliary Snterprises and that the 1952-53 earnings of Shaw Dormitory be pledged, for repayment of the loan. " On motion of Mr. Akers, seconded l>j Mr. Brody, it voted to approve the above recommendations. 4. Harry-Conrad of the Christman Company was invited to meet with the Board at lunch to discuss financial problems that have developed in connection with the construction of 6-iltner Hall. On motion of Mr.. Srody, seconded by MISE Jones, it was voted to authorize payment out of college funds for the extras that have'been authorised on Giltner Hall, of approximately $32£>00; and to authorize Mr, May to pay to the Christ man Company on duly certified requisitions up to the full amount of the contract commitment.
