Minutes (Unapproved): July 20, 2015
b. Senators
i. Senator Zavala reported that the task force planning for the Ice Cream Social
event on July 22nd has produced fliers. He requested the Senate’s assistance in
posting them around campus. Senator Stein reported that members of the task
force had made banners and posted them on Building 14 and 16. Senator Wallace
asked which buildings still needed fliers; Senator Stein indicated that fliers had
only been posted in Building 16. Vice President Trump recommended that
members of the Senate take fliers to post in their classrooms. She also suggested
that members of the Senate make announcements about the event in their classes.
c. Advisors
i. Aaron Schaefer, Student Life and Leadership Manager, reminded the Senate
that besides Board Chair appointments, the group would have to make
participatory governance appointments by the end of the summer. Mr. Schaefer
stated that he and President Kaffl would review the requests that were sent in and
try to match people to committees based on their schedules and availability.
However, Mr. Schaefer warned that everyone might not get his or her first choice
of committee. Mr. Schaefer reminded the members of the Senate that serving on
a participatory governance committee is one of the requirements for their
position, and that once the committees start meeting, regular reports should be
made to the Senate. Senator Wallace asked if a report was required at every
Senate meeting. Mr. Schaefer indicated that reports should be made at the first
Senate meeting after the committee meets. The reports should include any
pertinent information from the committee, any requests for student input from the
committee, and any comments or suggestions the Senate would like forwarded to
the committee.
ii. Fauzi Hamadeh, Student Life and Leadership Assistant, had no report.
At this time, Mr. Schaefer suggested that the Senate suspend the order of the day and allow CSM Vice
President of Administrative Services Jan Roecks the opportunity to report on status of the North Gateway
Project and Student Parking. Hearing no objections, the order of the day was suspended.
Update on North Gateway Project and Student Parking – CSM Vice President of Administrative
Services Jan Roecks
CSM Vice President of Administrative Services Jan Roecks reported that the CSM Cabinet has been told
that the North Gateway Project and the included parking lot will be completed by the start of the Fall
2015 semester. Vice President Roecks indicated that the new parking lot would add over 700 additional
parking spaces to the campus. While the majority of those parking spaces will be for students, some will
be marked for employees and visitors. In addition to the re-opening of the parking lot, the Loop Road will
also once again allow for traffic around the perimeter of the campus.
Senator Stein asked if there is a possibility that the project will not be done by the start of the fall
semester. Vice President Roecks said that there is always a chance with a project this size that something
may happen, but that the contractors, the District, and Cabinet are confident the project will be completed
Page 2 of 9
ASCSM Senate
Minutes (Unapproved): July 20, 2015
by the start of classes in August. If there is a delay, it will most likely be short and the project would be
completed soon after the start of the semester.
Secretary Exner asked how many disabled parking spaces would be added as part of the project. Vice
President Roecks said she did not have the number with her, but that it will be proportional to the overall
number of parking spaces as required by state and federal law.
Vice President Trump asked if there is any plan to inform students about the new parking lot. Vice
President Roecks indicated that she has been working the Community Relations and Marketing
Department to include the information either as a separate email announcement or as part of the “Tips for
the Start of the Semester” message that will be sent out. There are also plans to put signage around
campus indicating that the parking lot is open. Vice President Roecks welcomed any input regarding
where the signs should be placed or other suggestions to effectively get the word out. Vice President
Trump suggested putting a message on the electronic message board at the four-way intersection of West
Hillsdale Boulevard and CSM Drive.
Senator Wallace asked if the new parking lot would have a name similar to the other lots on campus and
if students would have the opportunity to provide input. Advisor Hamadeh indicated that the parking lot is
already named the Galileo Lot. Advisor Schaefer explained that after major construction on the campus
was completed, the Administration asked the students to come up with names for the various lots. Almost
all of the students’ suggestions were adopted except for a few that were changed based on additional
feedback from other groups.
Secretary Exner asked if the campus map that appears in the Schedule of Classes would be updated for
the Spring 2016 semester. Vice President Roecks indicated that she is already working with David
McLain, the College’s Visual Communications Coordinator, to update the map, which will be included in
the spring schedule.
Finally, Mr. Hamadeh suggested that any communication also explicitly state that the Loop Road once
again traverses the perimeter of the campus. This may help cut down on any confusion by those who may
think it will stop at the Galileo Lot.
Vice President Roecks thanked the group for their input and encouraged anyone with additional
suggestions to please contact her. The Senate thanked Vice President Roecks for her time and for the
update.
Hearing no objections, Vice President Trump resumed the order of the day.
VII.
Unfinished Action, Discussion, and Information Items
a. Appointments – President Kaffl
Since this is the first time this Senate would be doing appointments, Advisor Schaefer
took a moment to explain the process. President Kaffl had requested that anyone
interested in serving as a board chair email him. Mr. Kaffl reviewed the requests and
shared them with the Executive Cabinet. Although appointments are ultimately made by
the President and recommended to the Senate, which then has the power to confirm or
deny the appointment, we generally always like to have a discussion in Executive Cabinet
to get additional input and feedback. Today, President Kaffl will be making three
Page 3 of 9
ASCSM Senate
Minutes (Unapproved): July 20, 2015
appointments. Mr. Kaffl will present his appointment, at which point there will need to be
a motion to approve the appointment and a second. The Senate will then have the
opportunity to discuss and ask questions. Finally, there will need to be a vote taken.
Subsequently, President Kaffl made the following appointments:

Senator Wallace as Chair of the Advocacy Board
Motion to approve Senator Wallace as Chair of the Advocacy Board by Senator
Roe; seconded by Senator Stein.
Senator Wallace stated that he is interested in researching and advocating for
legislation. Senator Roe indicated that even though Mr. Wallace was not an
official member of the Advocacy Board last semester, he was always involved
and was very helpful. Senator Stein indicated that Mr. Wallace had also attended
a few meetings of the Programming Board during the spring semester and had
made suggestions regarding events and activities. Vice President Trump asked if
Mr. Wallace felt he would be able to handle the responsibilities of being a chair
given his other obligations. Senator Wallace said he was confident that he would
be able to fit the responsibilities being a chair in with his classes and other
activities.
By a vote of 8 in favor, 0 opposed, and 0 abstaining, the motion to appoint
Senator Wallace as Chair of the Advocacy Board carried.

Senator Stein as Chair of the Programming Board
Motion to approve Senator Stein as Chair of the Programming Board by Senator
Roe; seconded by Senator Chin.
Senator Wallace asked if anyone else had showed interest in the Programming
Chair position. President Kaffl stated that Senator Chin had expressed interest
but, due to time constraints, we need someone who is prepared to step into that
role now. Senator Chin stated that though she had considered it, she feels Senator
Stein would be a better choice. Ms. Chin stated that she has worked with Senator
Stein and has observed that she is very good at getting things done. Secretary
Exner stated that he has worked with Senator Stein in several capacities and that
she is a go-getter. He reiterated that she is motivated and really does get things
done. Senator Stein also wants to help make this campus fun and contribute to
events. Mr. Exner stated that he feels Ms. Stein would make the perfect choice
for Programming Board Chair.
Senator Zavala asked if the Programming Board would be holding the WTFilm
event again. Senator Stein stated that she hopes so, and that she felt it went very
well last spring. Senator Roe stated that Senator Stein has already done a great
job on the Ice Cream Social and has the Programming Board experience. He
stated that she is the prime candidate for the position. Vice President Trump
stated that Senator Stein joined the Senate last year and was appointed to the
Programming Board. She always got things accomplished and knew what she
Page 4 of 9
ASCSM Senate
Minutes (Unapproved): July 20, 2015
was doing. She worked with and learned from our previous Programming Board
Chair, Marissa Garcia.
Senator Wallace asked Senator Stein if she has any ideas for new things
Programming Board can do in the fall semester. Senator Stein stated that there
were a lot of events last semester that seem to continue on from semester to
semester. She stated that for right now she wants to put her energy into
improving those events. Once the Programming Board is up and running, the
group can brainstorm news ideas that will be fun and benefit the students.
By a vote of 8 in favor, 0 opposed, and 0 abstaining, the motion to appoint
Senator Stein as Chair of the Programming Board carried.

Senator Mascareno as Chair of the Cultural Awareness Board
Motion to approve Senator Mascareno as Chair of the Cultural Awareness Board
by Senator Roe; seconded by Senator Zavala.
Secretary Exner recalled that when Ms. Mascareno first joined the Senate, she
had talked about her goals, her pride in her heritage, and her desire to create
multi-cultural events. Mr. Exner asked if she has reached out to other member of
the Senate or any student groups on campus to put on such events and activities.
Mr. Hamadeh pointed out that none of the student clubs and organizations are
active over the summer. Senator Mascareno stated that it is one of her goals to
reach out to the clubs and other student groups to put on more cultural events and
activities. Her primary goal is to re-establish the Cultural Awareness Board and
invite broad participation from many different groups. Senator Mascareno stated
that she would like to hold an event promoting the Cultural Awareness Board so
that students know that it exists and what it does.
By a vote of 8 in favor, 0 opposed, and 0 abstaining, the motion to appoint
Senator Mascareno as Chair of the Cultural Awareness Board carried.
b. Legislative Bills
None.
VIII.
New Business, Discussion, and Information Items
b. Election of Senate Vice Chair – Vice President Trump and Advisor Schaefer
Advisor Schaefer stated that unlike the board chairs, the Senate elects the Vice Chair. Mr.
Schaefer explained that the Vice Chair is the Senate’s representative on Executive
Cabinet and is also the Chair of the Inter Club Council (ICC). The process to elect the
Vice Chair works like this: There will need to be a motion and a second to open the floor
to nominations. Once the floor is open, members of the Senate may nominate a Senator to
service as Vice Chair. A Senator may also nominate themselves. Once all nominations
have been made, there will need to be a motion and a second to close nominations. The
candidates will then be given a few minutes to make explain why they would like to be
Vice Chair and how they would be effective in the position. We then ask the candidates
to leave the room so the Senate may have a frank and open discussion. As per the Brown
Page 5 of 9
ASCSM Senate
Minutes (Unapproved): July 20, 2015
Act, the candidates are not required to leave the room, but we ask as a courtesy to the
Senate and to the candidates. The candidates are invited back in and the Senate then
votes. The candidate with a majority of the votes (50 percent plus 1 or more) is elected
Vice Chair.
Senator Stein asked what the responsibilities of the Vice Chair officially are. Mr.
Schaefer indicated that in addition to serving on Executive Cabinet and being Chair of the
ICC, the Vice Chair also chairs the Senate meeting in the event that the Vice President is
not present.
Motion to open the floor to nominations by Senator Roe; seconded by Senator Zavala.
Hearing no objections, the motion is carried.
Vice President Trump nominates Senator Roe as Vice Chair. Vice President Trump stated
that Senator Roe was Vice Chair of ICC last semester and did an excellent job. In
addition, Vice President Trump stated that she worked with Senator Roe on the Advocacy
Board. Senator Chin reiterated that Senator Roe did an excellent job as ICC Vice Chair.
Advisor Hamadeh explained that Senator Roe must accept the nomination to proceed.
Senator Roe accepted the nomination.
Motion to close the floor to nominations by Senator Mascareno; seconded by Senator
Stein. Hearing no objections, the motion is carried. Vice President Trump stated that
nominations are now closed.
Senator Roe explained that he had been a member of ICC during the last academic year,
and that he had also served as vice chair of ICC. As ICC Vice Chair, he was responsible
for the minutes and for assisting the chair with running the meeting. Mr. Roe stated that
he hoped to be a liaison between the Senate and the clubs. He would hope to improve
communication between the two groups in order to help them work more closely.
Senator Roe stated that he was on ICC all of last year and was the Vice Chair. I took care
of the minutes, helped run the meetings, and contributed my input. I understand how the
meetings work. I want to be more of a liaison for the clubs. I feel that a lot of the things
the clubs and boards would like to do would work better if the clubs and the boards
worked more closely together. I want to help keep all these groups informed about what
is going on so we can collaborate to make them more successful.
President Kaffl stated that he has known Senator Roe since he began attending CSM. I
met him at my first Leadership Retreat. He is a very hardworking, intelligent person who
knows what he wants and how to get it. President Kaffl stated that Senator Roe was
instrumental in starting the Gamers Club with him. He stated that he can discuss
something with Senator Roe and he will get it done. Senator Chin stated that Senator Roe
has good leadership skills. Vice President Trump stated that when he joined the Senate,
he came in willing to learn and he has.
By a vote of 8 in favor, 0 opposed, and 0 abstaining, Senator Roe was elected Vice Chair.

Minutes (Unapproved): July 20, 2015
c. Welcome Week Task Force – President Kaffl and Advisor Schaefer
Advisor Schaefer stated that the Associated Students’ first big event of the year is
Welcome Week. It is traditionally held the second week of school, and the Senate hands
out promotional items and free food. In addition, the Senate brings games, music, and
interactive games to campus. Normally, it would be the responsibility of the
Programming Board to plan the event, but since the Programming Board is not up and
running just yet, the Senate should appoint a task force to begin working on the event.
Senator Stein as the Programming Board Chair should head the task force; in addition,
members of the Senate need to volunteer to help.
Senators Chin, Mascareno, Zavala, Vice President Trump, and President Kaffl
volunteered to be on the task force. Advisor Schaefer explained that this is the planning
task force and that all members of the Senate are expected to help during the event. The
task force is to plan and arrange for, food, entertainment, games and activities, etc. for
Welcome Week. He stated that he and Advisor Hamadeh will assist with this as much as
possible, as this group is new. Senator Stein asked for the task force members’ email
addresses. Advisor Hamadeh stated he will set up a list-serve to help facilitate
communication.
Motion to approve the Welcome Week Task Force chaired by Senator Stein with
Senators Chin, Mascareno, and Zavala, and President Kaffl and Vice President Trump as
member by Senator Elkady; seconded by Senator Zavala. Hearing no objections, the
motion carried.
d. Funding for Fall 2015 Welcome Week – Welcome Week Task Force and Advisor
Schaefer
Advisor Schaefer stated that he and Mr. Hamadeh had reviewed the Welcome Week
budget from last fall. Generally, the budget for Welcome Week is between $5,000.00 and
$6,000.00. Based on what was spent last year, the requested amount for Welcome Week
is $5,000.00.
Motion to approve $5,000.00 from the Programs account (#5150) to fund the Fall 2015
Welcome Week by Senator Mascareno; seconded by Senator Stein.
Senator Wallace asked if it would be better to wait until the task force has planned the
event and has an idea what they want to do before requesting funding. Advisor Schaefer
stated that would normally be the procedure but due to timing and the fact that there was
no Programming Board Chair until earlier today, there is not enough time. The Senate
cannot start making arrangements, including signing contracts and placing food orders,
without funding in place.
By a vote of 7 in favor, 0 opposed, and 0 in favor, the motion to approve $5,000.00 from
the Programs account (#5150) to fund the Fall 2015 Welcome Week carried.
e. Funding for ASCSM promotional Items – Advisor Schaefer
Advisor Schaefer explained that normally twice a year the Associated Students purchase
promotional items that are given away at events such as Welcome Day and Welcome
Page 7 of 9
ASCSM Senate
Minutes (Unapproved): July 20, 2015
Week. The promotional items usually consist of backpacks, pens, highlighters, and some
other useful items that have the ASCSM logo. The bulk of the items are purchased in the
fall with a supplemental order (if needed) in the spring. The Welcome Week task force
will need to meet and decide what should be ordered. Mr. Schaefer stressed that the order
needs to be placed soon so that the items would arrive in time for the start of the
semester.
Motion to approve $6,000.00 from the Publicity account (#5151) to fund the purchase of
ASCSM promotional items by Senator Zavala; seconded by Senator Wallace.
President Kaffl asked if the aforementioned items were going to be ordered or if there
would be an opportunity to make suggestions. Mr. Schaefer stated that the basic items
such as pens and highlighters are always popular and need to be replenished every year.
Other items will be up to the task force. In the past, the Senate has given away notepads,
stress balls, and plastic water bottles.
Senator Mascareno asked if the Senate could hand out organizers. Advisor Schaefer
explained that they are expensive. Secretary Exner suggested we order mini staplers,
which is something students always need. Advisor Hamadeh recommended the Senate
check the website for Campus Marketing Specialists (CMS) at campusmarketing.com
and send any suggestions to Senator Stein. Advisor Schaefer stated that any suggestions
must be made ASAP as the order must be placed by Wednesday.
Senator Mascareno stated that students had told her the plastic water bottles given out last
year leaked and broke easily. Advisor Schaefer thanked Senator Mascareno for the
feedback and stated that input like that will help determine what items are ordered. Vice
President Trump suggested Senators poll their classes to find out what items students
might like to receive.
By a vote of 7 in favor, 0 opposed, and 0 abstaining, the motion to approve $6,000.00
from the Publicity account (#5151) to fund the purchase of ASCSM promotional items
carried.

Future Agenda Items
a. The following items were suggested for the next ASCSM Senate meeting:
 Welcome Week Task Force Update
 Ice Cream Social Debrief

Final Announcements & Hearing of the Public
a. Advisor Schaefer stated that all Senate members should have ASCSM T-shirts or polo
shirts for Welcome Day and Welcome Week if possible. Vice President Trump stated that
those Senate members who don’t have a shirt should stop by the Center for Student Life
to see if your size is available.
b. President Kaffl stated that two people have still not emailed him about committees. He
asked that they please do so. Senator Zavala asked if they will be emailed with what
Page 8 of 9
ASCSM Senate
Minutes (Unapproved): July 20, 2015
committees they’ve been appointed to. President Kaffl stated that when he gets all the
committee requests he will discuss it with Executive Cabinet and then they will take
everyone’s schedules into account and figure out the appointments. Senator Roe asked if
we should wait until the Senators who are not here can request committees. Advisor
Hamadeh said they are on the email list so they should know. He will send emails to the
Senators who are on leave this summer.
c. Advisor Schaefer informed the Senate that Senator Regina Romano had resigned and
would not be returning to CSM in the fall.

Each fall, the Center for Student Life and Leadership Development sponsors a leadership conference that is open
to any CSM student. This conference covers many of the same topics as the ASCSM summer leadership retreat,
such as leadership theory and development, communication styles and skills, and conflict resolution. The
conference is an opportunity for CSM club leaders and any other interested students to learn about leadership, to
develop strategies to communicate effectively, and to find effective ways to work with others.
Interested students must apply to attend the conference and submit a deposit (if a student is not chosen to attend,
his or her deposit is returned; students who attend the conference have their deposit returned when we leave
campus). This funding would allow us to take between 25 and 30 students.
Make a list of all the estimated expenses that will be incurred in order to fund the program outlined above. Be as specific as possible. Attach
