Second: Senator Simon
Discussion: Seleste Hamilton is a third year senior and a Philosophy Politics and Law Major.
She is President of the Band Honor Society and was the Captain of the Color Guard and
helped to restart the program. She is also on the Honor’s Program. She was told about this
position last year by Anthony Lake. She has wanted to be involved in ASNAU since
sophomore year, and loves what the program stands for. She plans on going into the field of
law, and thought this would be a great beginning to get involved in more legal aspects. She
apologizes for having to leave a little early but will try to stay as long as she can.
Questions: Senator Lulay asks what she will bring to ASNAU and the student body. She
responds that she intends to go over the Election Codes and help the students in any way
she can. Senator Simon asks if she can remain unbiased when making decisions. She says
that as president of her chapter she has remained unbiased and will try to hear both sides
in every situation. Senator Tillinghast asks if she fully understands the job requirements.
Yes, she went over the governing documents last week and took notes. Senator Howard
thanks her for taking the time to be here. Senator Cabral asks since Justices typically serve
two years, if she will only serve one year as a replacement to a previous Justice.
Chairwoman Woodhouse says it depends when she is graduating, and she adds that she
will be graduating next fall.
Senator Tillinghast asks if everyone is okay with the Justice graduating next fall instead of
serving a full term. Everyone is okay with this, and Senator Ortega says it will give ASNAU
more time to effectively fill the position. Senator Simon asks if Monika is okay with this.
Yes.
Vote: Unanimous, Item A: Justice Seleste Hamilton has been approved.
Motion: Senator Soto move to approve Item B: Justice Robert Decoste
Second: Senator Startt
Discussion: Robert Decoste is a Junior Choral Education major. He has taught a high school
marching band and the experience has shown him his future, which will be grad school
with more emphasis in the education field. He thought about running for Senate and
believes that Student Government directly leads into administration; this sparked his initial
interest. He thinks this position would be a great fit for him and loves helping students.
This position and ASNAU positions are very prominent in school, and ultimately this is why
he is here today.
Questions: Senator Cabral asks if he has gone over the duties. Yes, he has gone over the
governing documents and doesn’t know everything super well but will as time goes on.
Senator Howard thanks him for being here as well. Senator Simon asks if he can remain
unbiased. Yes, he did so as a teacher, and will look at the facts carefully being sure to make
an educated decision.
Vote: 9 in favor, 1 abstain, Item B: Justice Robert Decoste has been approved.
Motion: Senator Libby move to approve Item C: Commissioner Spencer Perzanowski
Second: Senator Lulay
Discussion: Perzanowski is a second year junior, is in RHA, Honors, and Blue Key Honor
Society. He would be honored to be a commissioner. Senator Howard asks if he will be in
the Commission for this election. Yes, Chief of Staff Smart will switch around the election if
he is approved. It will take a little burden off of some of the other commissioners. Senator
Cabral asks if he knows the duties. Yes, he has talked with commissioners, read the
governing documents, and is confident he will do well in this position.
Vote: Unanimous, Item C: Commissioner Spencer Perzanowski has been approved
Motion: Senator Soto move to vote on Item D: Club Recognition: Students Nurturing
Alternatives in Landscaping
Second: Senator Buchta
Discussion: Jasmine is here with SNAIL, and this is a broad club. They currently have a
garden on south campus and through experimental learning they have tried to develop
sustainability processes. They are working with freshmen on projects, and students from
last semester have stayed. They are rebuilding a lot of their structures and continuing to
work on these projects. Senator Libby likes the name. Senator Soto asks where it is located,
and Jasmine replies that it is right by the greenhouse complex. Senator Ortega asks if they
would be interested in helping with a garden on top of one of the parking garages, yes will
be in contact.
Vote: Unanimous, Item D: Club Recognition: Students Nurturing Alternatives in
Landscaping has been approved.
Motion: Senator Buchta move to vote on Item E: IA: Shantelle Kotowich, $400
Second: Senator Howard
Discussion: This is her second year requesting an IA to attend a National Education
Conference in San Diego next month. It is annual Art Education Conference. She is going
with a group of students but as they are not an official club, they are requesting individual
allocation. They will be presenting about curriculum design and attending seminars, so this
information will be brought back to departments. They will present their findings to each
department, though they are small. Wayne White, a famous artist who has given speeches
all over the world, met these representatives at the conference last year and has since
agreed to come to NAU to speak for the benefit of all students. They open up all information
brought back not only to their departments but also to all students at NAU.
Questions: Senator Buchta asks why they haven’t formed a club. There have been efforts in
the past, but students in the department who are organized to form a club like this are dual
majors with multiple jobs and do not have the time. Senator Soto asks what they are
presenting. She is presenting a curriculum design, a public art project that reimagines the
way that graffiti works on a campus. They went to Phoenix last year and painted
abandoned buildings with chalkboard paint and documented the artwork done. TED Talks
representative will be there. Senator Tillinghast asks if other students going are here, no
and she is the only getting money. Senator Tillinghast explains that they can get more
funding to help them attend this conference. The senators advise her to submit more
requests for other students going, or to have a senator write her a bill.
Vote: Unanimous, Item E: IA: Shantelle Kotowich, $400 has been approved
Motion: Senator Simon move to vote on Item F: IA: Robert Norton, $400 and Item G: IA:
Paul Rehn, $400
Second: Senator Lulay
Discussion: Paul Rehn is a senior here at NAU representing Robert Norton and himself as
well as the NAU Campus Recreation Bill. The NIRSA conference they will be attending had
over 2,000 attendees last year and will provide over 100 events where they will network,
and learn about things to benefit the NAU Rec Center. This will bring more activity and
participation in events. Robert will meet new people and possibly receive Graduate
Assistantship. He will be able to advance his career and bring back beneficial tips to the Rec
Center. At the regional conference they met many influential universities, and have already
benefited from these encounters. They will have new events for the student body because
of this.
Questions: Senator Ortega asks about the budget, which originally read $3600, leaving a
$400 discrepancy. He explains that the bill was written for up to that amount, but the
conference will cost about $1087 per person in his estimate, which includes flight, lodging,
and conference registration. The budget is a little bit high and they do not expect to use that
much. They will probably be using $2200. Senator Startt points out that Chyna was
originally going to this event and asks if she is no longer attending. No, as of today she
cannot. That is why the budget is high because it was originally for three attendees.
Vote: Unanimous, Item F: IA: Robert Norton, $400 and Item G: IA: Paul Rehn, $400 have
been approved
Motion: Senator Startt move to vote on Item H: SB 26-72: NAU Campus Recreation,
$3232.50
Second: Senator Libby
Discussion: Dr. Brandel has a concern about how the Campus Recreation bill is presented.
It may have the tendency to look like it is from a university department, and could be
rationalized as travel support for university department members, which would cause
some issue. He suggests striking Campus Recreation and implementing the names of
attendees. It would be easier to address this way. Senator Libby says the bill should also be
amended to remove Chyna’s name.
Motion: Senator Startt move to amend Item H: SB 26-72: NAU Campus Recreation,
$3232.50 to strike the name NAU Campus Recreation and replace with Robert Norton and
Paul Rehn
Secondly, to amend the first whereas to strike the words ‘Three students’ and replace with
‘Two Students’, as well as strike ‘Chyna Gade’ so the bill now reads ‘Two students, Robert
Norton and Paul Rehn are seeking funding…’
Finally, to amend the bill so it reflects a total of $1655 instead of $3232.50
Second: Senator Libby
Discussion: None
Vote: Unanimous, Item H: SB 26-72: Robert Norton and Paul Rehn, $1655 has been
amended
Vote: Unanimous, Item H: SB 26-72: Robert Norton and Paul Rehn, $1655 has been
approved
Motion: Senator Howard move to vote on Item I: IA: Daniel Enriquez, $400
Second: Senator Soto
Discussion: He and his professor are doing a study that was implemented in Phoenix for
low socioeconomic citizens intended to close the communication gap between parents and
students to prevent the use of drugs, alcohol, etc. It was shown to be very successful, so
they did a focus group with eight to ten mothers about their experiences with the group.
This information will be presented at AASECT, a national conference where they will be
able to get licensed. This funding will cover flight, registration, and hotel.
Questions: Senator Soto says the bill will need to be amended. Senator Lulay asks what the
benefits of this conference will be. They will be benefiting NAU and will bring back
information about how these things are successful and about communication on campus.
Their presentation will also show what research NAU does.
Vote: Unanimous, Item I: IA: Daniel Enriquez, $400 has been approved
Motion: Senator Tillinghast move to vote on Item J: SB 26-73: Daniel Enriquez, $1059
Second: Senator Cabral
Discussion: The amendment will change the name of the conference to be attended.

the name of the conference in the introductory paragraph to the ‘American Association of
Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists (AASECT)’

Motion: Senator Libby move to vote on Item K: OA: Society of Automotive Engineers, $500
Second: Senator Startt
Discussion: Chris Bennett is the Vice Present and begins by explaining that SAE normally
funds three to four different projects. This year they are funding the Eco Marathon and the
BAJA event. They are requesting funds to get to the BAJA event, which is a competition.
They will be designing an off-road vehicle and competing with it against other universities.
The competition will be in El Paso, TX. They are bringing many seniors, but also some
sophomores and juniors. This is the first year that they can go since 2010, and the Eco
Marathon will be in TX also. It is experience for members to see how to build these things
and use them in the world.
Questions: Soto asks why they haven’t been able to go since 2010. Bennett explains that
because of budget reasons and leadership, the club has not been able to attend the past few
years. Right now it will be about $10,000 and they will be doing fundraising and donations
to supplement this expense. Senator Simon confirms that they are funding 74% themselves,
and representative explains that they have been saving a lot and already have over $2,000
and they are close. Right now, they have three competitions a year and are excited to be
able to attend this one. Senator Lulay asks if they are currently building the vehicle, yes
they are and they have designed the suspension themselves. There are 66 pages of rules to
follow. Senator Lulay says he hopes they win. This is one of their best teams yet. When they
get back they will present how they did and if the vehicle is in one piece, ASNAU is welcome
to see it. Any donation over $25 allows the donator to drive it after the competition. They
will also try to rent it out for other events to fundraise for the club. Senator Lulay asks
about the terrain. It is a four-day event and they do various obstacles, and the last day is a
four-hour endurance race. The vehicle will have to go over telephone poles, giant rocks, etc.
Senator Libby asks who is driving. The current member who intends to drive is not present
because he is working but they will mostly determine who when it is done being built.

approved
Senator Libby wants to drive the car.
Motion: Senator Libby move to vote on Item M: SB 26-75: Partners in Health Engage NAU,
$200
Second: Senator Ortega
Discussion: Brittany is here for PIH Engage NAU because they had a successful kick-off
event at the Orpheum in January. She had submitted an OA and Senate Bill to be
reimbursed for the Orpheum rental and advertising costs. Chairwoman Woodhouse says
that they have to be an established club for a semester, but the senate will amend the bill to
reflect the whole cost and not use the OA. Senator Simon asks how many people attended.
They sold 85 tickets and had four live performances. There were about 110 people in
attendance total.
Motion: Senator Libby move to amend Item M: SB 26-75: Partners in Health Engage NAU,
$200 to add ‘as well as the rental fee for the Orpheum at $500’ to the fourth whereas
Also, to amend the bill so it reflects a total of $700 instead of $200
Second: Senator Startt
Discussion: Senator Tillinghast asks if the bill total will be reflected in both the top and
bottom statements, yes it will be changed.

amended
Vote: Unanimous, Item M: SB 26-75: Partners in Health Engage NAU, $700 has been
approved
Motion: Senator Lulay move to vote on Item N: OA: NAU Men’s Lacrosse, $500 and Item O:
SB 26-76: NAU Men’s Lacrosse, $3500
Second: Senator Howard
Discussion: Representative explains that the funding is to cover league fees and travel
costs. They have games in California and so the travel fees are high this year. Senator Lulay
asks why so many trips will be to California, and representative responds that they play
southwestern colleges and make a lot of trips for this reason.
Motion: Senator Ortega move to amend Item O: SB 26-76: NAU Men’s Lacrosse, $3500 to
read introduced by Senator Nicole Ortega
Second: Senator Cabral
Vote: Unanimous, Item O: SB 26-76: NAU Men’s Lacrosse, $3500 has been amended

Lacrosse, $3500 have been approved.
Motion: Senator Lulay move to vote on Item P through Item S.
Senator Tillinghast asks that the Ice Jacks D2 funding and the Ice Jacks D3 funding be voted
on separately, so it will be easier to understand.
Rescind: Senator Lulay rescinds his motion.
Motion: Senator Lulay move to vote on Item P: OA: NAU Ice Jacks D2, $500 and Item Q: SB
26-77: NAU Ice Jacks D2, $3500
Second: Senator Soto
Discussion: Matt Williams is the President of D2, in November they went out to Santa Fe,
and would like reimbursements for the bus fees since the trip was over $4000. The budget
at the beginning of the year was $120,000 but has gone up $30,000 for nationals, while
each member pays to be a member as well as for training. They also have a lot of sponsors.
Questions: Senator Tillinghast says that he is not a sports person, but he wonders why D2
and D3 are both coming for funding. They are two different clubs because there are so
many people that try out and they cannot all fit onto one team. It is an expensive sport.
Senator Startt asks how many times they have come for funding. He doesn’t feel they
should come for this every year. Senator Ortega doesn’t think this is bad. Senator Buchta
thinks a lot of clubs do this, and the Senate just needs to stick to the $4000 limit. Senator
Cabral recognizes what Senator Startt has said, and he thinks that it is worth the fact that
they are bringing this to NAU and going to nationals.
Senator Simon will abstain from the votes for D2 and D3 for personal reasons.
Vote: 9 in favor, 1 abstain, Item P: OA: NAU Ice Jacks D2, $500 and Item Q: SB 26-77: NAU

Second: Senator Soto
Discussion: Scott is the President of D3. They went to Colorado in November, and played 3
games. Cost was over $5000 and they travel to play higher-level teams. $98,000 and under
budgeted and was over $100,000. They also have many sponsors and donations.
Vote: 9 in favor, 1 abstain, Item Q: OA: NAU Ice Jacks D3, $500 and Item R: SB 26-78: NAU
Ice Jacks D3, $3500 has been approved.
Motion: Senator Cabral move to vote on Item T: OA: NAU Forestry Club, $500
Second: Senator Libby
Discussion: The NAU Logging Sports Team is through the Forestry Club. Competition in San
Louis Obispo this year will be against 11-15 other teams, and the funding will be for
lodging and gas.
Questions: Senator Howard asks if they are part of Forestry Club, they are a separate entity.
Senator Simon asks why the OA and Senate Bill are different. The Senate will amend the bill
to say NAU Forestry Club. Senator Libby asks what the Logging Sports Team does. They
chop logs vertical and horizontal, climb poles, and participate in other events with
chainsaws. Senator Buchta asks how they did last year. They placed fifth overall. One of
their competitors went on the national level and placed third. They hope to repeat these
results or do better this year. Senator Soto asks how many teams, 11-15, some including
Montana, Oregon, Nevada. Senator Tillinghast asks what kinds of trees will be used. This
year it is ponderosa pine, but it depends on the region that the competition is held in.

organization attached to ROTC. They meet once a year with the national organization to
vote on legislation and if they attend this convention they will get ideas about fundraisers
and service projects from other clubs.

Beach area and will be helping teaching. It is a great opportunity with private schools for
students to learn about teaching and healthcare. The funding will cover the gas, and
housing. The students are providing $120 of their own money for food.
Questions: Senator Cabral says this bill was written for 12 students, and wonders why
there are now 13. Chairwoman Woodhouse says that instead of removing faculty and staff
in the bill a thirteenth student will be attending. There was international student that had
expressed interest. Senator Lulay confirms that they will be participating in what the
convent does. Senator Soto asks if the numbers should be changed for lodging. No, there is,
in fact, a thirteenth student going.
Senator Cabral is attending, so he will abstain.
Vote: 9 in favor, 1 abstain, Item Z: SB 26-82: Catholic Newman Center, $2870 has been
approved
Executive Reports
a. President- Makenzie Mastrud
- President Mastrud thinks that there was a lot of great discussion in Senate
today and VP Woodhouse has done a great job facilitating. Today about $30,000
was funded, and the line is running low. This week she has been working with
Christine and Ashley to determine where funds can be pulled so that the Senate
can continue to fund so many clubs in the final five meetings. There is about
$19,000 left, but not all clubs bring in receipt totals so there will most likely be
more than this current estimate. She has also worked with various people in the
office, helping Matt to get situated. She would like everyone to introduce him or
herself in the office and to spread the word that he is there to help. Everyone will
sign a confidentiality agreement, and cannot say who is coming in and out of that
office since they are private meetings. She thanks the Senate for approving the
new Justices and Commissioner. Louie Award nominations are underway.
President Haeger has talked about things that will slow with the president
change, but the tuition pledge will not. Community college students transferring
are increasing, and ABOR has laid this out. Athletics has been very appreciative
of ASNAU’s help; they usually meet with ASNAU members Tuesday at 4. These
past few days she has been at the presidential search forum and apologizes for
her absence in the office. They went really well and she would like to thank
Shayla and Sammy for attending. She will meet with key student organizations to
bring forward student perspective. If anyone in the office has opinions, please
have coffee with her and discuss. Finally, this week she will be meeting with
Special Events and Chief of Staff Smart about concert stuff and spreading the
word to clubs on campus. She and VP Cooper will be attending Blue Ribbon.
b. Vice President of Student Affairs- CJ Cooper
- He will be emailing his report.
c. Vice President of Academic Affairs- Shayla Woodhouse
- Tonight was a record agenda, and she thinks the meeting went very smoothly.
The students will be very appreciative of the funding. She would like a closed
session to clear the air, but individuals who must leave at 6:45 can. She is
disappointed that more staff isn’t here for this. Senator Lulay asks about email
reports, yes.
d. Chief of Staff- Sammy Smart
- The 5k Purple Run was approved, and they are still waiting to approve the
route with NAU PD. It will be the same as the route would have been for the
Turkey Trot. There will be a BTO Fundraiser on March 12th for ASNAU Relay and
two other teams. They have a meeting tomorrow about the concert. They have a
spreadsheet for sign ups but will not send it out yet in case things change at this
meeting tomorrow. Everyone will work a four-hour shift, and the ticket will be
the benefit received for this. If you cannot work on April 6th, you must work the
night of the concert. Must be sober, and if you are not working and would like to
participate in festive events remember you are ASNAU members. Elections are
beginning, so please continue to abstain from endorsing and be sure to vote. She
needs someone to attend the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee from 8:30 am
to 9:15am. Senator Startt will go but has class at 9:10am. She will email and
discuss. Annsley asks if ASNAU members can join Facebook groups for
campaigns if the member joins all, and Smart says she doesn’t know she doesn’t
know. Senator Buchta says it is okay if a member likes all of the pages, and
Senator Lulay says based on the changes made, no one should join any pages.
Chairwoman Woodhouse agrees. Smart says that does not allow people to
educate themselves about candidates. Senator Simon says that they can still read
without joining, but Smart explains that this isn’t always possible as some pages
are private. Senator Startt confirms that pages can be made, but members cannot
like any other campaign page. Senator Lulay says that no one can like anyone
else’s page, because the process should be completely individual. Smart says she
will discuss this with everyone later.
