76% of voters in favor largest turn out, two field concept, listened to students to
save parking. In Sept 2014 seg fees suggested that we add gender neutral
bathroom and storage for dome on site, student advisory committee and OSA at
the table and this has been added, the storage on site will help save on storage,
10% design a meeting on the committee environmental impact next big step go

Wildlife conversation club: what kind of sports are you directing this towards
right now? Answer: Runs the gamut, whole sporting community, sustainability a
big part of this program, Sustainability that fits into our campus. English Club
with the budget cuts for this university was this elevated again after the cut to the
budget and where is the budget coming from? Answer: the goad has to be selfsupporting will not be a drag on segregated fees. Pagan Student Alliance: if it is
not self-supporting, answer: then students will have to decide if they want to open
it up to more groups in the community. Pagan Student alliance: You mentioned
that have to fund this is public interest, how much community members have
actually stressed interest? Answer: we talked to all of the state organizations for
all of these groups and they are chomping at the bid for this. Circle K what are
the changes of it not meeting the approval? Vice Chancellor – good chance of
gaining approval, especially through the building commission almost a year ago
on docket for December with the Board of Regents.

$250 like credit card fees with interest, it goes to your fees, starting out with $250
limit and will increase the amount if do not run into issues. Circle K: Is the $250
limit per semester? Answer: would like to move to $500 residence hall and move
