May 16, 2001 To: The Campus Community From: Tom Vani, Vice Chancellor, Business and Administrative Service Re: Physical Plant director recruitment and staffing update As many of you are aware, Ilse Kolbus has been acting as Interim Director for the Physical Plant since Jim Hagler's retirement in January 2001. During the months of January through March, Business and Administrative Services (BAS) conducted a nationwide search for the permanent replacement for the director position. Unfortunately, our search did not result in a hire. Therefore, I have asked Ilse Kolbus to extend her interim role as Director of Physical Plant until BAS and the Physical Plant have an opportunity to develop a strategy to find a permanent replacement for the position. I am pleased to announce Ilse has agreed to my request. Ilse has provided direction and leadership to the Physical Plant since January, and I am confident she will continue to make decisions and provide organizational leadership through the extended transition. Many of you may be familiar with Ilse as the Director of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S), a position she has held since 1991. During her tenure on campus Ilse has proactively directed environmental health and safety programs and provided her expertise, leadership and advice throughout the campus. Ilse has brought these excellent qualities and skills to the role of overseeing the Physical Plant, which is a key management position of one of the largest units on campus. Ilse will continue to oversee the EH&S unit, however, day to day operational duties will now be managed by Acting Director of EH&S, Buddy Morris ext. 9-4454, bmorris@cats.ucsc.edu Ilse may be reached at the Physical Plant at ext. 9-2238, ilse@cats.ucsc.edu. Sincerely, Tom Vani Vice Chancellor Business and Administrative Service
