V. Committee Reports听

  • Financial Committee with Clay Christian 听
    • RLC 听
      • requests $400 to screen Chocolat at Chocolate Extravaganza (FinCom recommends to fund in full)听
      • Motion to fund in full passes, no objections or abstentions听
  • Spring Allocation Revisits听
    • Westphalian Society 听
      • Came back to FinCom this weekend with a reduced funding proposal of $2400 (FinCom recommends to fund in full with extreme reservations)听
        • Caveats: Students going to the conference must audit the class; they can鈥檛 take it for credit. 8 students will be funded, if less than 8 go, Westphalian Society will have to pay back the money that would have been used.听
          • 听We revisited the following questions-Is this the right use of student activities funding? Is it right to fund $300 of the student activity fund, would these students be getting more out of the student activities fee than they put in?听
          • Other discussion: will Westphalian society be able to raise the money that we do not fund them?听
            • Motion to fund for $2400听
              • 4 votes to pass, 6 objections, 4 abstentions听
              • Motion fails to pass听
    • Habitat and Humanity 听
      • FinCom asked Habitat to come back with a more detailed proposal听
      • FinCom recommends to fund for $350 for gas for their builds for first semester next year$310 for gas for next year for first semester听
      • FinCom emphasized that Habitat, and all other clubs need to be careful about their discretionary proposals for next year, we will not be retroactively funding. 听
        • Motion to fund for $310 passes no objections or abstentions听
    • Sword Club 听
      • Sword Club requested FinCom to fund the material fees for to maintain their weapons. These materials will be used to make weaponry that will be held by Sword club, and will not be 鈥榳alk away鈥 items. 听
      • FinCom treated Sword Club like other club sports (Frisbee, Quidditch, Warrior Wranglers); Senate will pay for some of the materials, but the club is also responsible for providing some of their own materials. FinCom Recommends to fund for 戮 of their request: $387.83听
        • Motion to fund for $387.83 passes, no objection or abstentions听
  • Salaries听
    • Profile: FinCom recommends to fund in full as submitted听
    • Troubador: FinCom recommends to fund in full as submitted听
    • 黑料不打烊 Bike Revolution: FinCom recommends to fund for $1000 per mechanic per year (their own amended submission)听
    • KHDX: FinCom recommends to fund $800.00 per year to their Web Master, funding for the other two non-Constitutional salaries were denied听
      • There seems to be overlap in the non-constitutional salaries.听
    • Campus Kitty: FinCom Recommends to decline funding for 2nd Vice Chair and Treasurer听
      • FinCom was concerned that funding more internal costs would take away from their non-profit status.听
    • ECC: FinCom recommends to decline funding salaries for the new vice chair positions听
      • Emily (ECC chair): Worries that some of the programming won鈥檛 be as successful without more paid positions (A LOT of work!) and that her job could become more difficult because others have less of an incentive to work. Bottom line, these are tough jobs, ECC provides great events, and they need creative leadership.听
      • FinCom believes these positions need to run through a trial year before salaries can be decided upon听
      • FinCom was hesitant to salary a position which has needed to be re-opened for filing.听
      • General FinCom discussion about salaries:听
        • FinCom spent A LOT of time discussing both spring allocations, as well as salaried positions and after much debate came up with the above recommendations. Many campus leadership positions require a lot of work, but not all of them can be paid, it would be fiscally irresponsible to devote so much of our student activity fees toward salaries) All paid positions (constitutional and other) need to be reviewed (some are overpaid some underpaid) and will be in the fall. 听
