ANNOUNCEMENTS

Next week senate operations will be reviewing the appointment by the president for the elections commissioner. We encourage guests to attend and for the committee to come with questions. The appointment will be here at 5:45. Dress for the event is business casual.

If a bill is referred back to our committee from Senate we can make changes to it as long as it did not change the intent of the bill.


Items of discussion that were brought forward during the privilege fee committee that affect the recommendation of KSDB

1.

KSDB will be on a year funding cycle with this model

2.

Repair and replacement will be renamed to KSDB reserve

3.

$4,000 will be allocated to this new reserve account and the operations allocation will be $102,362 (This is the same amount of money they were receiving just in a different format with different restrictions.

4.

Any request for the reserve must go before privilege fee

5.

The reserve will have a $40,000 cap.

Chair Brown explained that moving funds around helps address increased operational needs.

Senator Kher asked what happens to the $4,000 if they reach the $40,000 cap and speaker Nuss responded that it will role over into their operations budget.

Other questions asked include: why was it a one year deal instead of three and the reason is to audit KSDB and see if they are receiving the correct amount of support.

Senator Lauden moved to approve the privilege fee committee recommendation.

Mason Grittman

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Intern Rick Dewees mentioned that Farmhouse’s new members will be having a philanthropy concert on Sunday October 23, at 7pm featuring Dillon Ray in City Park. $3 to get in or a box of toys. All proceeds go to Operation Christmas Child

Speaker Nuss introduced Publication Bill for the college of Engineering Student

Council.

Senator Conley asked if they need the money for printing or transportation. Grittman responded that they would only need it to print of a certain amount as a start up so that student are aware of the new engineering newspaper.

Senator Kher asked about the difference in the statutes. Grittman responded that this bill would fall under the “Other” category in chapter 21.

Senator Laudan asked if this could go through CAC or SCTE, Grittman responded that it they wouldn’t like it to go through go SCTE because they would like to launch this before winter break so that student are aware of it for when they get back from break.

Senator Britton asked if this could be published via email and Grittman responded that it wouldn’t be as effective.

Spaker Nuss thinks this is going through a slippery slope, because if passed it would start funding requests that are projects, which can lead to SGA funding budgets and salaries.

Senator Grittman disagrees because he says that there is nothing in the statutes that explicitly says that SGA can’t fund this bill. He believes that this will be a very effective publication because of the person who is starting it up. He started up other successful projects and has full faith that this will be the same.

Senator Keher moved that we table the Student Activity Fee till next week, 2 nd

Britton, motion passed


The committee reviewed changes to :
