Sections

Stephanie May: Requesting more paper, she is in senior seminar, and we have started massage, and I am down to 10-20 pages. I don’t know how many more pages I need. I can print from home.

We motion to move 350 additional pages for Stephanie May’s account (10/10)

VI. Discussion Item

a. Budget: The budget committees recommend a 3% decrease, but if we were to have more students enroll, then the money would go back to the subcommittees. They can use the money if we budget for a decrease, but have higher enrollment so we don’t punish the subcommittees.

i. Do you think people would disagree with putting money back in the subcommittees?

ii. Potentially

iii. If there is a surplus, I would agree it would need to go back to the subcommittees

iv. I don’t see a problem with budgeting a flat budget and then dealing with cuts. It seems like the same process. Either way cuts or re-allocation we would have to do nothing.

v. We would like to proportionally put the same money back into the subcommittees rather than into bill money, or the reserve.

b. Constitution Committee: We finished rewriting the bylaws and constitution last Thursday. We made a few changes, and we will vote on it tonight. Most of our changes were grammar. Section 5 of Article 5, changed ‘student ID’ to ‘student number’. We added some positions to adviser. Under executive, we put that we have weekly meeting. We added that to be in SGA you have to be in good academic standing through the Registrar. Also, if you do not have your application in by the deadline, it will not be considered.

c. Motion t approve the constitution as it was sent out (all/all)

d. Bylaws, removed secretary to executive than advisory. The biggest change we made was to athletic ambassador. We propose we reduce the duties, instead to coming to the meetings he will serve 3 office hours and go to SAC meeting. We would change the pay from $200/month to $75/month.

i. Have you spoken with Blake?

1. He feels you do have quite a bit of duties.

ii. I think it is an important role, but some other member does the same reporting duties.

iii. How do you base other people’s pay?

1. $200 4 hrs/ week $75 3hrs/weeks

e. The sustainability coordinator was paid through LEED so we decided to now put a salary in the constitution.

f. Internal requests of money, was changed from an ‘or’ to an ‘and’ statement, so permission is required by both.

g. Why doesn’t department-funding count as fundraiser?

h. Can we change departmental funding to just say “they need to show they are invested in their bill, steps to monetary initiate”

i. We organized the section about how meetings are held. We changed it from proxy voting to absentee voting.

j. Regarding how the Intramurals position is being paid twice, since it is in the constitution.

i. We should address this in the bylaws. Since it is against our constitution and we have two positions that have double salary.

ii. It is a very tough debate; these positions should be getting more than $200, but probably less than $600.

k. There are too many questions that we do not have answers to. We should send through grammatical errors and the parts we can all agree on. The double-pay and pay of positions, we will suggest next year SGA needs to be look at these issues, since we need to vote on the bylaws this week.

l. I motion to approve the bylaws with exception to the athletic ambassador change and double-pay positions.

i. Second (13/17) Passes!
