A) Travel Requests
a. UNF Dance Marathon – Sen. Dan Culberson-$500 for airfare for a DM leadership
conference. I urge you to pass this through.

Lindsay Russi(DM Chair)- July 25-27th is the conference. CM is a
nationwide event; it raises funds for children’s miracle network. At UNF
we are going into our 7th years. Since inception we have raised
$160,000. The conference is at DePaul University in Chicago. There will
be 500 DM leaders in attendance. It includes workshops and lectures.
Benefits are building my leadership skills. Develop practical skills; also
make partnerships and a support network. Act as an ambassador.
Registration is $200 which is covered as well as my lodging. Total trip is
$712. $512 for airfare. I am just seeking $500 for my airfare.
 Sen. Shackelford. Motion to approve the Dance Marathon travel
request. Second. No discussion. Roll call vote: Sen Shackelfordyes, Sen Culberson-yes, Sen Kiskek-yes. Motion passes 3:0:0.
b. James Flannagan – Sen. Shomari Gloster-This is for Succeed Faster event to
develop skills, they are asking for 500$.

James Flannigan: Leadership conference in Chicago called Succeed
Faster, it is an exclusive invite only career acceleration conference for
young professionals. 3 of UNF students will be going on this trip; it is a
way to get UNF on the map. *shows video about the Succeed Faster
event*I got a personal invite, it is an awesome opportunity. Mike- I
went in the summer of 2012, it is a great opportunity for building
professionalism and building a network. It changed my whole mindset
on being professional. It is a great opportunity to represent UNF. This is
a personal branding and it will also help other students.
 Treasurer Wolf: how will this impact the UNF student body? - I
will be able to bring back all this information and share with
other students.
 Sen. Kishek: motion to approve the Travel Request for Succeed
Faster. Second. No discussion. Shackelford-yes, Sen Kishek-yes,
Sen Culberson-yes.
B) Special Requests
a. Student Government Executive Branch- Sen. Elena Shackelford: This will greatly
benefit the University. The free printing initiative, this will be the 3rd consecutive
year they will be presenting some amendments to the requests

President Turner: Free printing is fairly well received, it is a good service.
$16,000 number for the fall and a number for the spring. For fall is to
continue the same service that we have provided in the past. Every
student got a 2.25 credit on their Osprey 1 Card to use. There is a better
way we can do this initiative. On all of our printers that we use on our
floor. We pay .0065 cents to pay for our prints. I think by taking the

advantage of our machines, students can come up here and print. We
have a more efficient model up here in SG. That is why there is a change
in prices from $16,000 in the fall to spring for $23,000, which will
provide the students with 200 free prints, roughly. It is a little of a shift
of the way we do things. A lot of the people who used this didn’t even
know they were using it. A lot of students didn’t realize it was from
Student Government. It is less of a convenience now, but it is much
more of a service. We are in business to do things more efficiently. I am
going to ask you all to take an amendment to that line, and take it from
100,000 prints to 200,000 prints raising the total cost to $2,980. We
should have a spreadsheet in front of you with the update on the prints.
President Turner: I would also like the committee to add an amendment
to add a transportation element to the Jaguar games. We went out and
got quotes from local vendors, and the best quote that we got is in front
of you. These buses will take the students from campus to the games to
the stadium and back. This cost is not very great at all and it provides a
great service. This would add a line to the Special Request that says
Jaguar Shuttle Program, a lump sum in the amount of $6,132. $120 for
the buses times 7 that’ll equal $840 I’d like you to add to the reflected
amount. This transportation doesn’t require that you have tickets at all.
If you propose and pass both of those amendments it will bring the total
to $25,112.
 Sen Shackelford. Motion to amend line 3 Print Labs to read
$2,980. Second. No discussion. Roll call vote. Sen. Shackelfordyes, Sen. Culberson-yes, Sen. Kishek-yes. Amendment passes
