Operations Priorities Data Warehouse Status Report
Andreas Bohman explained that the Data Warehouse Expansion (DWE) project was initiated and granted funding in February 2018. The goal of the project was to create a data management system that could deliver timely and accurate data for mission-critical processes, such as decision-making, reporting, and strategic planning. Over the last several months, the operational focus and alignment necessary to achieve these goals by the agreed-upon deadline (October 31, 2018) have not been realized, so the deadline for the project will be pushed to early 2019. The cause for the delay is detailed in the project status report. To ensure the success of this project, the Operations team has taken the following actions: 1. Clearly defined operational and project resources with a clear chain-of-command. 2. Requested a three-month extension of the project with a new go-live date of January 31, 2019. 3. Realigned the technological approach of the data warehouse with a clear focus on data mart development. Intersection Right of Way Request The City of Ellensburg seeks the approval of the easement necessary to improve the safety and efficiency of the intersection of Wildcat Way and E. University Way. The plan includes street alignment, traffic signalization, and the adding of left turn lanes at the intersection, without negatively impacting the cultural and historical significance of Wildcat Way itself. This item will be voted on during the action agenda. Board Organization Board Policy Revisions Linda Schactler explained that the revisions to the board policies remove references to a retreat specifically held in the summer and provide greater flexibility, transparency and efficiency for board meetings. In addition, the board constitution will remove references to minutes of the meetings of board committees. Committees are now used to brief members on content that will be covered in upcoming meetings. No board actions are taken at committee meetings. Retreat Follow-up In July the board reviewed the performance of the president, as trustees are required to do annually by CWUP 1-10-050. Staff have summarized the board’s evaluation and the activities trustees would like the president to prioritize during the 2018-2019 academic year. With the review and approval of the board, the letter will be delivered to the president and shared with the general campus community. Action Items Action – Approval of Board Policy Revisions In order to support greater transparency and efficiency, trustees may review and revise policies that guide board activities. The review of board meeting requirements in CWU policy suggests the following revisions may be advisable: • CWUP 1-10-040: remove references to a retreat in the summer, to provide greater flexibility, transparency, and efficiency.
