Meeting # 20
6:00pm, 04-28-08
Mad River Room

I) Call to Order: 6:06pm
II) Roll Call
III) Approval of Agenda- Added UC Board Discussion by Ron, then approved
IV) Approval of Minutes- passes
V) General Forum-Ron brought cookies! Thanks Ron! President Richmond is asking for a reorganization of the UC Center to better suit funding needs and student needs. Making an activities section and a commercial section (No Starbucks or the like as there isn’t much student support for it). Maybe include a housing section to perhaps buy apartments for family housing/faculty housing. Also could make it easier for the University to obtain property. Not likely to make a difference in student life or to cause fee increases.

Also proposing a mural outside the AS Office.
m) UC Board of Directors- Had a meeting at the Aquatic Center. President Richmond came in and suggested merging several groups on campus (within AS? I wasn’t entirely clear on the subject). New Learning Commons was also suggested to give students a more focused area to study. New bathrooms in Nelson Hall are finished (Male, Female, and Gender Neutral) and will be a model for any further remodeling of bathrooms around campus.

IX) Old Business
X) New Business
a) Capaccio talking about the Schematics
• The new Residence Halls will house 432 students (including 4 LGAs). There will be four new buildings with 4-6 person apartments with full kitchens and dishwashers (ooh). The buildings will be 3 stories with elevators. Meal plans will be optional.
• There will also be a central facility similar to Creekside Lounge but larger, housing a Wilderberry’s style market and meeting rooms.
• It will be called College Creek.
• The rates will be similar to Creekview, though a small percentage more expensive (but hey, you get a dishwasher, don’t complain).
• They are designed for upperclassmen transfer students and will be gated so only residents can access the buildings and the soccer field.
• West side of the complex will have a locker room, bathroom, and maintainence area.
• Hoping to start construction in August/September and will be trying to make the buildings as Green-friendly as possible.
• John may let the mailroom have a golfcart if they behave. Creekview RHAers declare this may mean they actually get their mail once in awhile.
b) Day of Silence -$99 requested for advertisements and pamphlets through the graphics department. It will be on the 25th. Lynn moves, Janine seconds. Passes.
c) Constitutions-Councils- Any updates to council constitutions? E-mail a copy to RHA@humboldt.edu
d) Money for thank you cards- Want to buy thank you cards to keep in the RHA office so councils can send out nice Thank Yous to helpful people. Requesting $20. Lynn moves, Ian seconds.
e) NRHH Plaques- Plaques in the RHA office need to be updated and new ones purchased. $200 requested to do so. Ian moves, Lynn seconds. Passes.
f) Take Back the Night requesting drinks- Water bottles apparently. $200? Yes. Ian moves, Mary seconds. Passes.
XI) General Discussion
-HEMI said awhile ago that he would put up a sign on the door to the J saying why there’s a routing door and the energy comsuption, etc. But he hasn’t. Query? Nick will check it out.
-Put the organic food notice on the powerpoint in the J as not everyone is aware of what’s organic and what’s not.
-Haven’t heard back from the smoking group.
-Smoking area signage is a Wishlist item.
-Bring in Wishlists!
