Mr. Link said that he had not yet done so, and asked Mr. Hartkopf if there were a deadline for this. Mr. Hartkopf said that OCS is going to purchase paper in the early Fall and he hopes CHCCS and the County would be able to make a well - informed decision about a joint bid process before then. Mr. Link asked Ms. Dean to pursue the matter with the OCS finance staff.

The group agreed to send agenda topics by email to Mr. Sachs ( asachs(a)disputesettlement.org), who will organize the topics into a draft agenda and distribute that draft agenda to Collaboration Work Group members. Sustainability in UNC -CH campus construction and maintenance Cynthia Pollock Shea, Director of the UNC -CH Sustainability Office, gave a presentation and fielded questions for about thirty minutes. She distributed UNC -CH's 2005 Campus Sustainability Report, which elaborates on the points she made in her presentation: • One of the University's goals is to remove about 20 acres of surface parking, half of which will be replaced by new green space and half by new buildings. • Rams Head Plaza includes a parking garage with a "green roof." The roof is designed to absorb and reuse rainwater, to serve as community gathering space, and to provide a pedestrian connection between the northern and southern ends of campus. Another goal of the mixed use project -- which includes a dining hall, sports cafe, game room, recreation center and grocery store within walking distance from 8,00o residential students and most campus classrooms — is to provide healthy food for students, for less money, without driving or taking the bus.
