Delong- Student Affairs
Talked
with resident life and Keating about what type of role that they want us to
have, they would like us just to support them.
Still working on getting in touch with clubs on
campus.
On
the 17 of September the Sustainability Coalition is having a meeting with treats
from the solar oven
Health
center advisory- working on H1N1 in case there is ever an epidemic, the health
center is encouraging kids to get regular flu shots (would we rather help with flu shots and or H1N1)
(how
many did they give out last year, did they have an abundance?)Ried) Could only charge for what they use for
the flu if we give them too much.(shelly)
Opinions-do we want to help
or do we want to use it else where?---given to the constituents asking students
to take H1N1 and the flue shot government is paying for H1N1 shots(not
required)
Find out how many people
actually get the shots every year- mike
Did we get the money
back—Justin
We Did- shelly

Smith- Treasurer
1) I talked to
Leonard today and he explained to me the actual budget for SGA and sub
comittees etc. Individual clubs or organizations can contact me for details but
as for SGA, we have $15,000 to spend in bills this year, we can decide if we
want to split it evenly between both semesters (7,500 a semester) or whatever we
need at the moment. We do have a budget reserve of $21,440 which CANNOT be
touched but we do have an unallocated budget of $24,926 that is free reign of
money but keep in mind, both these reserves total up to the $46,367 SGA is
allocated so we need to spend wisely.
2)Leonard also said
that the unallocated money should be thought about not as a "spur of the
moment money" but rather for things we may need for our office in the new
student center! :) he explained that it should be used for things such as tables,
etc that can last more than a one time thing. Therefore, it should NOT go
towards individual salaries.
3) Alex Ristorcelli
and Elijah need to be PRESENT at the next meeting, I need to reconfigure
Elijah's position monetary wise and ELIJAH needs to go talk to Leonard in
Financial Aid and as for a SGA form because he is taking place of Alex. Alex,
needs to call me to meet sometime before next meeting!!!!!!
4) Also, next week is
timecard signing so please if you get paid, BE AT THE MEETING otherwise, it is
up to you to contact me or you just wont get paid. =-(
5) I am working on a
homecoming budget sheet with Jamee but it won't be produced until after next
week is over. Sorry. I overesitimated a budget for Homecoming as well, so BE
SMART with your money, it is more than enough for this event.
6)

Cory Vander Veen:
There is a board of trustees
meeting on September 11. Bill Nesbet, really involved in the community, guest
speaker for next week, he wants to propose a new idea about the RTA bus
service. It’s a good service last
year they had 80,000 riders and a lot of them being students. He is wondering if we would, as
students be willing to pay a bit of a fee upfront to pay for the bus to add
more times and more buses and such.
Keep it in the back of the mind and he is coming in next week
Halley Parks:
Didn’t get to the copy center here
are the voting forms, we need to get people to vote for senators, bring laptops
to have them vote. Make sure that
you are not shy just stand up and start talking, get the word out begin asking
constituents if they want to pay seven bucks for bus.
