5. Preliminary 09-10 Budget Discussion with Provost.
   Unfortunately, Provost Echeverria could not attend today's committee
   meeting (which would have been her last opportunity to meet with us) and
   therefore delegated discussion of the 09-10 Budget to Associate Provost
   E. Junn. It was noted that D. Hoagland from the Fresno Bee was present.
   Discussion ensued regarding the appropriateness of discussing various
   very preliminary budget issues, which would include personnel matters, in
   open session. After much discussion, the following motion was made:
   MSC to move into Executive Session at 3:35 p.m.
   The committee discussed various aspects of the 09-10 Budget. After
   extensive discussion, the following motion was made:
   MSC to move out of Executive Session at 4:30 p.m.
