  8. [4:15 - 4:40] Discussion/Vote: TAPS: Discussion on Measure 73 Recommendation

    1. Background: At the February 23rd SFAC meeting, Executive Director of TAPS, Dan Henderson visited with SFAC for the annual presentation that is required by Measure 73. Measure 73 states that each winter quarter, TAPS will present information to SFAC (ridership data, budget, etc.). After this presentation, the SFAC developed a recommendation for the chancellor related to whether the fee escalation that was voted in by students in Measure 73 should be implemented for the following year. For 2026-2027, the fee increase would be $3.00 per student per quarter, or a total of $9.00.
    2. Summary: Finalizing goals we want TAPS to meet from last meeting's discussions. Previous goals will be amended based on responses from the Director of TAPS. These goals are intended to be finalized to give enough time to discuss with TAPS. Vote will be on approving the proposed goals and allowing SFAC leadership to start discussions with TAPS.
