Dr. Claudia Limbert called the meeting to order.

1.                  The minutes from 5/5/06 were approved.

2.                  Budget update - Nora Miller said that Tonya Moak, Comptroller, is finalizing the budget summary information for the IHL office. The budgets will be approved at the June IHL Board meeting. We were able to increase the budget for raises, increase in utilities, and the addition of property insurance. There is no cushion. Everyone’s help is needed to stay within the budget. If enrollment is not what we are expecting or utilities increase more than we anticipated, then we will have to make adjustments. The items not funded this year will be built into the FY 2008 budget, which is due in July.
