- Prestage stated what’s being looked at now is a Phasing option where the Administration Building staff will see the first phase of Printer Study going into effect. A question was asked what will be happening to any existing equipment lease contracts. Prestage’s responded with CA Reding will issue checks to buyout any existing equipment lease agreements.

4. Technology Master Plan Update
- Prestage summarized and talked about the Technology Master Plan documentation that was distributed to the committee members.
- Mitchell asked if the STEM AV equipment was included in this plan. Prestage didn’t think he included plans for the STEM Lab; this was an accidental oversight that’s easily corrected.
