VI. 2008 – 2009 Budget Planning – Assumptions & Goals Income: Miriam Ifill provided updated Budget Report. The committee reviewed the goals and assumptions from last year. After committee discussion, Miriam suggested that the ASB sticker projection be lowered to $45,000 from $50,000. Currently ASB sticker income is $46,000. Josie Cheung moved that the ASB sticker projection be lowered to $45,000 from $50,000 and Connie Fitzsimons seconded. Committee vote: Unanimous. ASB sticker not producing, will need to re-think this program. Katie Gleason suggested that if the students were to receive some on-campus benefit from the sticker it would probably help sales. Ex: Bookstore or food discounts. Katie Gleason asked if the new Food Service Vendor or bookstore could incorporate a discount on campus to help in this area to support the ASB sticker. Now is the time to inquire. Katie Gleason wants to maximize the interest rate, options should be checked. Miriam Ifill will call the county regarding changing interest rate. Harold Tyler will bring Ed Code information to be discussed. Student monies have restrictions. Division input will be needed for a serious dialog on income projection. Special Competition Funds will be tabled for the next meeting. Next Auxiliary meeting to be changed from May 19th to May 12th at 1 p.m. Location to be determined. The meeting adjourned at 2:25 p.m. 2008 March 28 ASB Meeting Minutes 2 of 2 Notetaker: Rebecca Greer
