IX. Old Business

A. RPB Funding Request ($1000)

Adrienne moves to approve, Alex seconds.

Nancy: Last week, RPB budget was requested. So far, we have a line-item budget, but it isn’t fully up-to-date. All line items were read off.

Alex: Agrees with Milo, in that the request is premature.

Vote: Most of council against, 4 abstentions. Funding request not approved.

X. New Business

None.

XI. General Council Discussion

Aaron: Don’t use the stipend as a reason to take an AS representative position.

Alex: So far, the video games have been successful. All but one of the games have been checked out at least once. Systems checked out several times. Had a number of requests for new games, so might be coming back for more money to purchase more games. Second, there are people getting turned away for the shuttle bus, as the bus is small and there are a lot of people who want to use it. Third: Would like to recognize everyone for their work.

Adrienne: Wanted to ask Canyon about the memorial and is wondering how its progressing. So far, it’s stalled, due to lack of support.

Milo: Canyon is building a bulletin board in the gazebo. Chair will hold the key to the lock. Estimate is $200. However, labor was not factored into the cost. Usually, council aren’t charged with labor.

Nancy: Are we changing the Dinning Committee time next semester? Yes we will.

Jonathan: What game, anyway? F-Zero GX

Aaron: People are getting stranded because of the full shuttlebus.

Megan: Does Cypress have a bulletin board? On third tier.

Nancy: Its not that people are being stranded, but the bus is not stopping.
