      He recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the following method for
electing a non-teaching employee of the University of Kentucky as a member of the Board
of Trustee.

       1.    The Vice President for Fiscal Affairs shall utilize the Human Resource
Services Division to establish a process for the nomination of candidates and conduct an
election by secret ballot to elect the nonteaching employee for membership on the Board.
The Vice President shall certify the result of the election to the President, who shall
transmit the result to the Board of Trustees.

      2.    Staff members eligible to vote and eligible to serve as an elected member of
the Board of Trustees shall be those regular, full time staff of the University of Kentucky,
as defined in the University's Staff Personnel Policy and Procedure Administrative
Regulations. This procedure would exclude the president, vice presidents, academic deans
and academic department chairpersons. Those positions are exempted in the statute.

      The plan directs George DeBin, Vice President for Fiscal Affairs, and Human
Resource Services to immediately begin the process of determining those eligible to serve,
to circulate those names to all of the staff employees, to have a nomination process take
place to determine individuals to be placed on a ballot, and conduct secret ballot(s) as the
case may be to determine a representative to be brought to the board and be sworn in as a
Board member in July or August 1998. President Wethington said he was delighted to
enter into such a process to select a staff member to join the faculty and student members
on the Board, and he was pleased to recommend approval of PR 3E. Mr. Miles moved
approval of PR 3E. Ms. Cruz seconded the motion, and it passed. (See PR 3E at the end
of the Minutes.)

      President Wethington noted there were no items to report for the Community
College System and the Lexington Campus under PR 4 and PR 5 respectively.

      K.    Agreement Between University of Kentucky and Kentucky Medical
Services Foundation (PR 6B)

      President Wethington said PR 6B is the annual agreement between the University
of Kentucky and Kentucky Medical Services Foundation (KMSF). The recommendation
is that the Board approve the agreement attached to PR 6B which was negotiated pursuant
to the Board of Trustees resolution regarding the Medical Practice Plan adopted on June
20, 1978 and later amended. The agreement reflects only changes in dates. There are no
other substantive changes in the document. He said he was pleased to recommend
approval of PR 6B. Mr. Guthrie moved approval. The motion, seconded by Mr. Shoop
passed. (See PR 6B at the end of the Minutes.)
