Approval of the Minutes
 With no corrections noted, the January 23rd and January 24th minutes were
approved.
Transportation Access Fee Presentation: George Androuin and Vince Smyth
 There has been no change in the bus schedule and they have not seen any
changes in revenues or expenditures over the current year. This year the
shuttle usage has remained constant. Last year they did see a decrease in
usage with the change to the single route.
 The committee inquired if adding or removing a stop would change the
monetary needs of the program. The only real change depending on where
the stop would be added would be how many hours it takes to complete
the route and time between stops. Unless you are adding busses, they
should be able to accommodate the changes within the current budget.
 Vince clarified that the $180,000.00 in the Building line item covered all
capital needs such as adding a new shuttle stop or for example adding the
extra roadway to connect to lot 18. He also clarified that there is a budget
line item for lighting at shuttle stops. Shari Shuman also mentioned that
they are evaluating the shuttle stops to see if any additional lighting is
needed. Depending on where any additional lighting is needed would
determine from which budget the needs would be funded.
 Shari Shuman wanted to remind the committee that there is a contract
stipulation that if diesel prices increase over a certain amount, there is an
added surcharge. If the surcharge is applied, then the budget would be a
zero budget. But if the surcharge is not charged, then they will show a
surplus amount. The budget is appropriately aligned.
Deliberations
 Carlo asked for any motions on the available $1.56 student fees available
for allocation.
 Joseph Turner motioned to allocate $1.00 per credit hour to the athletics
department. Chris Brady seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Counseling Center fee allocation. Judy Rodriguez seconded the motion

i. Carlo mentioned that he spoke to Dr. Gonzalez and the dean of
Brooks College of Health and instead of taking from Student OPS
wage money, we will take the approximately $20,000 generated
from this fee and put it toward 1 or 2 graduate level positions.
They will help define the Healthy Osprey program. They will be
housed in the college of health but will report to the health
promotions.
ii. Judy Rodriguez suggested that she would like to see the value of
the volunteer hours created in this program for next year’s
presentation.
Anthony Stevens motion to forward the approved recommendations of $1.09
increase per credit hour to President Delaney. The motion was seconded and
passed unanimously.
