3)Public Forum:

  1. Amanda Carpenter, Coordinator of Career Development Services& Hank Lacayo Institute Workforce Fellows Program: Next week hosting the 8th annual graduate and professional school fair week. The fair has 38 graduate school representatives and will be a great way to meet with grad professionals and obtain additional information. All the Career Development Services programs are geared towards students. Ms. Carpenter would like to collaborate with the ASI Board for information, opportunities, and suggestions.

4)Financial Report:First report in the new PeopleSoft account. The report shows assets and liabilities. In essence shows how we are doing cash wise. Does not include fundraising money from Student Organizations. In the future, will be separating the Associated Student fee and Student Body center fee. Income Statement: September actual/budget review. Student Organizations show an incorrect posting that will be remedied by October reports. Would like to be around 25% spent, which as a whole we are well under. From these reports it becomes apparent why it is important to place money into the months they will be expensed so it accurately reports.

7)New Business

  1. ASI Credit Card Process (Dr. Evans Taylor): Starting to see more organizations asking for a credit cards therefore saw the need to create a policy but has decided it is more appropriate as a process.
  2. Secretary for December Board meeting: Dulce will take minutes
  3. Raise ASI and Student Body Center fees according to CCPI (Dr. Evans Taylor): two years ago raised asi and student body center fee according to consumer price index, our documents specify that the Board needs to vote on this it doesn’t happen automatically. As the ASI Executive Director advise we consider raising it, has seen where it doesn’t happen for years and then they have to make huge jumps. We would raise the fee $4 for the Student Body Center Fee and the Associated Student fee. The ASI Board approves it and then it goes to the President for approval.
  4. Missy: concern with ASI fee, due to the amount we have a large amount in reserves. Should think about the message we are sending to the students in order to increase. Student Body Center fee makes sense to raise it because we have a bond payment to make. Continue to look at our reserve policy for ASI and the Student Body Center Fee. Another reason we need to break out the two fees into two different funds.
  5. ASI Budget Requests (Christine Thompson): See Appendix A
  6. Recommend everything but the Student Body Center fee,
  7. Since ASI oversees all fees
  8. Motion to put in place Option 2 where the budget allocationand spending committee oversees all budget requests, second by ben, passed with unanimous consent.
