- Other announcements
- Spring 2022 Referendum Discussion
- Gloria gives context on the Spring 2022 Referendum
- Looking at the proposal for KZSC, Sustainability Office
- Mathew’s group agreed we are okay with SFAC fully endorsing the proposed fees and should be something SFAC should incentivize
- Vivan’s group discussed being okay with endorsing the fee and would want to change the second line of the SFAC endorsement.
- Charlene comments how SFAC can work on communicating that message more so there is less communication. In the wrong context, might come off wrong and be disadvantaged when it comes to voting. Important for voters to look at the endorsements since most people do not read the referendum language
- Mathew thinks we are adding a layer of bias that would confuse students and it is important to leave to the student’ research and not our bias research, because this would be unbeneficial
- Charlene thinks the last part of the second part of the endorsement could be worded differently
- Vivan suggests to change it to “without having to heavily rely on other jobs”
- Alvin likes this suggestion
- Mathew motions to endorse both fee referendums, Bara seconds. No objections, motion passes.
- Funding Call Deliberations
- Ratings worksheet
- Discussion
- Appropriate uses of SSF and M7 funds
- Inappropriate for SSF funds
- Finalizing 1-22
- Proposals 23-43
- Mathew noticed when having unofficial discussion, we will just end of having to re-discuss and will make the process slower.
- Alvin thinks it would be better to table the discussion until Spring Quarter. Behind allocations, I would like to have more meetings in the Spring Quarter.
- Lisa comments how a Saturday meeting would be best
- Alvin says to fill out WHEN2MEET form
- Lydia comments to keep an eye out for scheduling a saturday meeting from Brynna in their emails and to possibly having a hybrid meeting soon
