 === Website Modernization Effort === === Website Modernization Effort ===
  
-A lot of work has been done behind the scenes to develop a new APO web site. Shane Thomas has created a whole separate web site with a more modern front end and database-driven apps on the back end. It has been time consuming to port all of the existing web site content over, which was the first step, and recently we have been evaluating how to improve the user experience and remove redundant or unnecessary information. We are now at the point of being ready to solicit feedback on the content of the new web site. All users are encouraged to review at the new web site and confirm that the information you frequently wish to access is there and easily findable for you. We are not seeking comments on the look-and-feel or style (yet). The current version is considered to be in the "alpha state" so it is still fairly preliminary. Once we receive and address the first round of feedback then we will go to a beta version and then deploy it, likely in a tiered fashion. The new web site is going to be mobile friendly, though it may not work well on all pages yet. **UC reps: ask your users to review the new web site (https://newapo.apo.nmsu.edu/) and provide any feedback on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XTGF1ekWatAW-T2xl71rIZgVlEBhtLVWJrkX8cSh8Nw/edit?usp=sharing.+A lot of work has been done behind the scenes to develop a new APO web site.

 Open action items from previous meetings: Open action items from previous meetings:
-  * Nancy: get ROM costs for new KOSMOS grisms. Sarah Tuttle provided an update on this at today's meeting: she is working on getting quotes from 4 different vendors, two of which have been responsive. There is some glass supply chain issues; if we bundle an order of several grisms together we may get a slight discount but probably not a substantial one. The approximate cost per prism will be ~ $20k-$30k. When KPNO purchased additional grisms they bought them piecemeal and assembled them in-house; we prefer not to do that. Once Sarah receives final quotes she will discuss them with Nancy and then we will check in with the Users Committee again to identify final priorities. STATUS: OPEN.+  * Nancy: get ROM costs for new KOSMOS grisms. Sarah Tuttle provided an update on this at today's meeting.
