We will schedule a video conference for next week. We will send an update through the listserve as further details on date and time are available. From smauck at osrhe.edu Thu Feb 6 11:09:35 2003 From: smauck at osrhe.edu (Mauck, Sheri) Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2003 11:09:35 -0600 Subject: [Cobo] FW: SB247 and SB453 (Committee Sub) Message-ID: <4499418E013CC64FB4B5689298285004195F4A@ms.osrhe.edu> Please see the correspondence from Lesa Borin, the legislative analyst, who is working to get authors and help promote the "Best Practices Recommendations." Lesa is urging the Business Officers to call the members (listed below) and talk to them on the importance of voting for Bills SB247 and SB453. These bills will be the vehicles used to address the recommendations from the Best Practices Committee. Please make the time to talk with your President and other legislative liaisons and discuss these issues and how they will benefit Higher Education. The timeframe is short, the bills are to be heard on Monday, February 17th, so please make this a priority and help to get these bills passed from committee. A memo is also being sent to the Presidents asking their help in communicating to the members that these are ways of helping Higher Education be more efficient. In light of the budgetary situation, passing these bills is a practical way of helping the State System without costing additional appropriations. The issues that will be addressed include the following four topics: 1) amended definition of public construction contract and amended requirement for submitting of bid bond; 2) sales tax exemption for tickets of athletic events and using funds for Title IX; 3) contracting with no less than two travel agencies, and 4) allowing postage stamps to be used in research projects and increasing the limitation on the purchase of stamps. -----Original Message----- From: Borin, Lesa Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 1:06 PM To: Maletz, Maryanne; Mauck, Sheri Cc: Hudson, Sid; Fair, Bryce Subject: SB247 and SB453 (Committee Sub) FYI - . . .we've got a lot of work to do. Both SB247 (Robinson) "Postage Stamp Bill" and SB453 (Morgan) "Direct Deposit Bill" have been assigned to the Senate General Government Committee which is chaired by Senator Crutchfield and the vice-chair in Senator Corn. The chair makes the decision on whether or not to hear a bill in his/her committee. After meeting with Senator Morgan yesterday afternoon, he has agreed to remain at the author of SB453 a.k.a. "The Direct Deposit Bill". The plan is to strike the title, which will keep it alive and allow us a vehicle in which to put the sections of the law that will need to be repealed, but will also allow the committee to amend the bill and remove sections of it that can't be passed. Before it is heard in committee, Morgan is going to release a committee substitute which will contain the language for the following COBO issues: 1) amended definition of public construction contract and amended requirement for submitting of bid bond; 2) sales tax exemption for tickets of athletic events and using funds for Title IX; 3) contracting with no less than two travel agencies. A copy of the committee sub will not be available until Friday afternoon at the earliest. After speaking again with Selden and providing him the language for SB453, he told me that the postage stamp language had in fact been put in SB247 by Robinson. The full text of the bill may be viewed at http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2003-04SB/SB247_int.rtf Now for the work. Both SB247 and 453 will be heard in General Government on Monday, February 17, 2003. The meeting will be held in Room 534 at 9:30 a.m., which means we have about one week to get these bills lobbied. All COBO members need to contact their representatives which serve on the committee. They need to explain the bill, explain what it does, etc. Since the COBO meeting has been cancelled, this task will be more difficult because we won't get to brief them in person, but I trust that you can stress to them the importance of calling their representatives and asking them to vote yes. Below is the list of the committee. By clicking on their names, you can link directly to their individual pages which contains a map of their district. They ALL need to be called, regardless of whether or not they have a college/university in their district. Please contact me if you have any questions.

The attached survey is being sent to you to assess the availability of employee demographic data needed for processing payroll in the new system. Many of the required fields in the Core system will be set to default values since the Core system will not be maintaining complete personnel information or history for higher education employees. However, certain data has been identified that cannot be defaulted without undesirable consequences. This survey is related to those items and their availability in your computer system. Please complete the survey and return to me by the close of business Tuesday, February 11. The survey information is needed to develop the payroll file layouts. I apologize for the short turnaround however OSF plans to have the layouts available in the next two to three weeks. Thanks for your assistance. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. <> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

In that regard Katheryn Phillips with PeopleSoft Consulting may be contacting your payroll or IT staff by e-mail or phone with specific questions.

Let me see if I can help with some additional info. First - it hasn't been the intention to implement fees without providing funding to the appropriated agencies. Agencies that operate on their own fee-generated funds or entirely on federal funds probably would not be provided appropriations to pay for these costs. Second - we're still in the process of developing exactly how this will work. Initial discussions (months ago) included the possibility of including development costs in the fee structure. Current discussions would be to only include costs of operating the system. Final basis for the charges hasn't yet been determined. Third - Much of what happens will depend on legislative action. We've requested funding to cover software and development costs and as everyone else is, we are waiting to see what unfolds this legislative session. Once something is developed, you will all be notified, hopefully with enough time to adequately prepare for whatever costs, if any, are involved for your agency.
