III. Appointments and Confirmations – 7:46

A. Refrigerator Services

i. Lee: we interviewed today and our leading candidate is

Stephanie Rodriguez. She was a Unitrans ad sales rep

and has self start experience and I feel confident in her

ability to lead. I urge for a speedy confirmation

ii. Heifitz: In your opinion, do you think your unit should

make money?

iii. Rodriguez: I feel if I keep the cost minimal we will reap

profit

iv. Dalavai: So why should an incoming freshmen buy an

ASUCD fridge as opposed to buying their own?

v. Rodriguez: saves them the hassle of having to purchase

it and the cost as well

vi. Flores: what makes you qualified?

vii. Rodriguez: I have experience being ad sales in

Unitrans, which requires me to sort of, run my business.

I myself have to manage over $30000 in Unitrans

myself so its very similar

viii. Flores: do you have outreach ideas for your unit?

ix. Rodriguez: Social media, putting it on those freshmen

pages and making sure they know that this is an option

that exists for them

x. Dhaliwal: we have had an issue with refrigerator with

the unit director leaving so how can we assure your

longevity?

xi. Rodriguez: I will be here as long as I discussed with

Alex

xii. Wolansky: how did you find out about this position?

xiii. Rodriguez: I got recommendations

xiv. Wolansky: Who gave you them?

xv. Rodriguez: Joe did

Confirmed

B. ECAC Chair –7:49

i. Savage: we interviewed people and Kamal was by far

the most qualified.

ii. Dahliwal: based off the interview, one question is what

are your future plans and new ideas?

iii. Sharma: ECAC is a great commission I am happy to be

part of. In these six months I saw that we would wait

for people to bring something to us and I feel like we

should be reaching out to the different people because

when I feel a student association comes to us asking for

a grant its one time and if we reached out to them it

would build a lasting connection

iv. Singh: you don’t always get legislation, so what do you

plan on doing if you don’t get legislation in that

meeting? Likes bills and resolutions. It goes through

commissions and gets looked at have you looked at any

resolutions?

v. Sharma: not recently. If we’re not given legislation

during a meeting, I feel like not everything that happens

on ASUCD relates to ECAC but we can get takeaway. I

would discuss legislation with my unit because it’s

good to be informed.

vi. DeAngelo: Some chairs seldom attend, how would you

ensure ECAC is represented?

vii. Sharma: I’ve been passionate from the start and I have

no class Thursday nights so I will be here every

meeting

viii. Dalavai: I’m glad you will be attending. Beyond

listening over here do you feel like you’re going to

actively provide your input on the table? Like Singh

alluded to, I’m pretty sure I’ve provided like half of

ECAC legislation this year. Do you feel comfortable

and will you be vocal on the table?

ix. Sharma: I feel being vocal is important because if I’m

not sharing my opinions then there wont be a voice for

ECAC. I’ve talked to people about my commission and

they are surprised we exist. So I am interested in

voicing here.

x. Dalavai: Do yall have a commission fund?

xi. DeAngelo: I have a lineup in the budget

xii. Dalavai: Would you advocate for seeing more

legislation?

xiii. Sharma: ECAC does not get enough so definitely.

Culture is a very sensitive topic and you might not see

it evident in every issue ASUCD faces but all

ethnicities should be included in legislation

xiv. Flores: So can you describe your philosophy on this

position? To what extent would you participate in

commission?

xv. Sharma: I don’t believe in power. Commissioners and

chair, I never viewed someone on chair as superior so I

would carry that on while I am chair. I will make sure

everyone is working together and tasks are divided. I

won’t take a seat back, I will be involved.

xvi. Flores: Would you reserve comments for issues

involving cultural affairs?

xvii. Sharma: I find politics very interesting so I will

comment when I get a chance

xviii. Flores: You can also author legislation

Savage motion to confirm

Confirmed

IV. Public Discussion 7:57

i. Grace: As everyone knows picnic day has passed and it

went really well. Last year we had 48 EOC reports this

year we had 26. We had 75000 hits on our website

between April 12 and 16 and we had 24000 downloads

and we made $24000 in sponsorship. We built on

reviews and feedback from last year and I saw a

difference in-group dynamics. We had some changes

already mentioned. Overall this picnic day went really

well. I’m proud of my unit.

ii. DeAngelo: You have been picnic day chair for two

years. How would you ensure the next unit director

carries on your progress?

iii. Grace: One thing that’s been a big discussion are board

reports. I’ve been working on my board report every

day. This year I noted that I opened up meetings people

can lead portions. People who are interested in applying

have approached me with ideas. If I had to go to a

meeting, I would bring possible candidates with me

iv. Wolansky: thank you for signing up for job fair

Dalavai: Thanks again it’s my favorite day of the year I

appreciate it.

V. Presentations – 8:00

A. Silver Ribbon Campaign

Jose and Dhaliwal

Dr. Yen will be tabling and giving a brief talk during

her break

Next Friday – looking for more table volunteers

i. Savage: Thank you for coming. I think this is

wonderful. Besides the tabling is there any other way

people can help?

ii. Dhaliwal: We are both learning

iii. Jose: we just started and Dr. Yen is a busy person so

when she said she can be here may 16th we agreed to

just make it work. If there’s anything you’d like to do

we are open to suggestions.

iv. Dhaliwal: we want it particularly focused on women’s

health rights. For example Singh’s Plan B. It is a

preexisting campaign we don’t have ownership on. We

can start recruiting clubs. WRC is going to be a big

facilitator. It is May 16th-20th with different booths

every day. We have the entire pre health organizations

and over 50 clubs. I think what we are aiming for is 5-

10 clubs per day.

v. Grewal: I highly request everyone to attend. It’s really

informational and empowering. How many clubs have

you already contacted?

vi. Dhaliwal: I contacted 20 within today because we just

got their approval last week

vii. Dhaliwal: do you need funds?

viii. Dhaliwal: we are figuring out if her marketing will

cover costs

ix. Jose: they were going to send materials and we will

reimburse for shipping costs

x. Dhaliwal: it is less than ten bucks

xi. Savage: where will it be?

xii. Dhaliwal: It is in the quad. This is something we want

to expand to parts of campus that don’t get a lot of

attention

xiii. Garcia: In short, I keep hearing about abortions and

contraceptives but is there anything involving justice?

You mentioned the film and again pushing abortion.

But what the black, Latina, and native women? What

about sis women?

xiv. Dhaliwal: this is a conversation we had with Dr. Yen

and her vision for this is particularly toward SIS women

but her future endeavor is anybody who identifies as a

women regardless of ethnic background, they are

included in this campaign. Abortion is the main

political motive outside of California because as a state

it has been very progressive so her main target are the

conservative states that don’t even include sis women

rights to exist. We are helping her build it up and those

are ideas we can help her understand.

xv. Garcia: you chose this campaign to put your time in and

this campaign is non-exclusive or intersectional. So

many communities are not included in this. you can

choose your campaign but my concern is what does it

mean when the thing your putting energy in doesn’t

include those being affected now? You’re saying it will

progress to include needs later on but it should be

incorporated now. This is oppression of other

communities. It is white feminism. Lets put sis women

issues in focus and give them the funding and taking

energy from other organizations. I hear no one talk

about reproductive justice in terms of these

communities.

xvi. Jose: I think that is relevant but I don’t think that is the

underlying tone. Her fight started out when she was

pregnant as a teenager but fortunately abortion was

legal at the time. She gave the baby up for adoption and

now she’s fighting for those rights. The whole

campaign isn’t trying to exclude any community and if

it offends anyone, we can talk about this. These issues

are not brought to light but we would love to start these

conversations. Thank you for your input.

xvii. Singh: I have on recommendation. There’s a sexual

health educator I don’t know if you reached out to her.

You should speak to Muriel because it is their job and

they have a whole program and can table

xviii. Dhaliwal: yes that is really what I’m asking, for

references and people to table

xix. Wolansky: You should bring it up to marketing

committee. You have the patio area and that fits quite a

few people.

xx. Dhaliwal: we are asking clubs to provide their own

table if they can so we can figure out how many we

need to get ourselves

xxi. Savage: I just wanted to address Garcia’s comments. I

don’t think its right to say later on we will bring up

trans rights because as you both mentioned Davis is the

first campus to take on this campaign so we are allowed

to build up this campaign. Garcia I’m sure you have

organizations in mind. Contacting LGBTQIA

organizations to get on board and table in relationship

to the silver ribbon would be really great for us,

students, and Dr. Yen to be more educated about that

and have input from those communities in particular.

This is a start up and can be shaped and become

influential. I do disagree that this white feminism.

People of color are disproportionally affected with

access to contraceptives. I definitely think Garcia

should help with this. GASC was my first thought for

commissions to table. You can bring that perspective to

the person in charge of this campaign. We all support

making sure those communities are represented. I can

help you as well with tabling.

xxii. Dhaliwal: I really think if we get those communities to

be present at her talk. She is open to these discussions.

It’s like a dialogue and not lecture

VI. Consideration of Old Legislation – 8:20

A. SB #75 Alavi

a) Introduced by Savage

i. Savage: So basically we just want to move money

within our budget to make sure we are utilizing funds to

the best of our ability. We are not asking for money but

just to shift to transportation

ii. Heifitz: there’s no asking for money, just moving funds

b) Questions

i. DeAngelo: Section 2 and 3.

c) Public Discussion

ii. Ryan: So I emailed the senate listserv the regents

meeting is next Thursday in Sacramento. 2/4 student

advocates are from Davis, Ralph Washington Jr.

Basically, and me we are looking to see if there are any

burning ideas.

iii. Savage: this if for the bill

iv. Ryan: we just need to reallocate money into our student

activities.

v. Singh: was this the same bill introduced winter quarter?

vi. Savage: earlier this quarter and it died in commissions.

It was on the agenda meeting but I wasn’t here so it

never got introduced

d) Senate Discussion

i. DeAngelo: On line 19 you need to change amount from

2015 to 1900 so that would change values to 2700.99. I

don’t know if Sam was planning more than that for a

specific reason but it’ll be about 115 dollars short

ii. Savage: okay I can ask

Bill Passed

Public Discussion

i. DeAngelo: we are missing 7 people. Are we planning to

get more senators? Maybe we should do quad

elections?

ii. Savage: Sofia and Sam are coming but they come as

they leave

iii. DeAngelo: are we sure they are coming? Because it’s

disappointing. It is something characteristic

iv. Savage: you are preaching to the choir. Everybody that

should hear this isn’t here

v. Dalavai: I agree but also at the same time we were

emailed they had stuff to do. I do agree this should be

more prioritized I don’t agree with reasons provided

like this should be a higher priority. They had a reason

so I don’t think we should see senate bill 77 this week. I

don’t think this is a chronic issue.

vi. Singh: next time when everyone is here we can discuss

when it is acceptable to miss meetings and how we can

hold each other accountable.

vii. Dhaliwal: I honestly prioritize this so much the only

reason I am leaving is because I have a performance

tomorrow. It’s a 3-hour practice and we just learned

formations two days ago. Given circumstances it is less

than 24 hours it is why I am leaving for part of senate

today

viii. Wolansky: I think we should ask you if you want o

come back next week

ix. Flores: this conversation needs to happen in closed

session. We should talk amongst ourselves about people

missing

x. DeAngelo: the bill needs to be seen tonight because we

need to craft the budget this weekend. It already went to

commissions I was just making a statement. As

unfortunate as it is to have many absences we have to

see it

xi. Savage: what would the alternative be?

xii. DeAngelo: I would like to see people show up. We

ought to just see it tonight

xiii. Dalavai: Shai I wasn’t calling you out. I totally get that.

I wasn’t implying you don’t make this a priority. Please

head out I’m looking forward to the performance.

B. SB #77 DeAngelo – 8:32

Authors Comments

i. DeAngelo: Passing around a few graphs there should be

15 this was passed by previous exec. This was a unit

established in the 70s with just selling notes and

rebranded in the 90s. the reason we are cutting this unit

is because it is not doing well. It is a commercial unit

and is not turning a profit. Reason 2 is that we don’t

have a space to house this unit at the end of the year. It

will disappear regardless of actions of ASUCD. The

current trailer isn’t fit. The third is that the unit is

providing a service not demanded by students. With

better technology people wont be buying notes

anymore. These are the numbers from last 15 years.

There’s a multiple of factors. What the unit should be

making could have been plotted. Why are we cutting

OASR? Why are we cutting CCE? It is because these

units are hurting the association. It has nothing to do

with current management it is just a factor of the unit’s

services. It has high overhead costs resulting in what

you see in graphs before you. We have never cut units

before. We should have a well-seated table but the

cards were dealt. I would like to see a lengthy

discussion because this is an important discussion to

make.

ii. Flores: we saw this bill Monday and voted 6-1 to pass

it. Some concerns were not having representative for

advocating to keeping the unit and concern for students

that do use. There was concern for those who rely on

paychecks for the unit and finding ways for the unit to

make unit or keeping services available in a different

way.

iii. Heifitz: we had a bunch of reasons why we thought this

should be cut. It is losing money. One of the things they

managed is they moved to the trailer and is that why

they are losing money? But they were losing money all

11 of those years which is bad especially for

commercial unit. They are losing $15000 per year.

Compensation such as Cheggs and online resources cut

into their thing. Most professors nowadays post lecture

notes and podcasts so it is antiquated so maybe that’s

why they aren’t achieving their goals. Another thing we

looked at was price and demand. Getting the notes is

$15 per quarter. If you get 1000 people to buy notes

that is $15000 and overhead costs are what more than

that. And they don’t sell even that. We can have a

steady fixed income from any company to open a place

down there.

Questions in text

iv. Flores: Line 17

v. Dalavai: Line 6 the comment after then, should it be a

dash? Strike comments after line 6, there should be a

dash but no comma

Public Discussion

vi. DeAngelo: this is part of a series of management

correction action to prevent a situation of insolvency. If

you compare us to ASUCLA and ASUSC both went

bankrupt and were absorbed by admin. We are trying to

prevent that. Janice always tells us a story about a unit

that would type up notes on typewriters to give to

students. They would give it back to them for a fee.

This unit persisted long passed its demand. It was

hemorrhaging money. This is trying to be proactive to

prevent years and years of losses. We are trying to

Band-Aid the bleeding and that’s why we are cutting

this unit. It came up we would be cutting peoples

livelihood. It would remain operational until June 10th.

This gives them a month to seek employment

elsewhere. But after June 10th all assets will be

liquidated and positions eliminated

vii. Dhindsa: how many workers get paid?

viii. Maddie: we have 5 part time employees. And the unit

director and 2 managers

ix. Singh: Lets hear from you both

x. Maddie: I am unit director and I was a part time

employee prior to that. We see the numbers are down

I’ve seen the graphs. It’s sad to have to come to this

meeting. There are a lot of factors on a personal note.

We have a lot of HR concerns. It put the safety of our

employees at risk and in order to protect them we were

allotted payment per employee. We had to have 2

people in the trailer at all times. We ended up going

double over budget for paying employees. Trailers have

impeded foot traffic. We had signs outside but they

weren’t indicative of what we did. Note taking was cut

so we couldn’t hire note takers for the year. I’m not

sure why that happened. Note takers would self-fund so

half of what was paid would go toward the note taker

and the other half would be toward campus copies. The

influx was do to that.

xi. DeAngelo: I purposely excluded fiscal year 15-16 so

we weren’t reviewing the HR issues because it is not a

result of management. I didn’t want to distort the

actuals I presented.

xii. Heifitz: so you mentioned the trailer thing like I

mentioned before all those years 2001-2012 CCN was

still hemorrhaging money. The few years you did make

money was less than $12000, which is far less than

projected. If we put a company in the east wing it is a

steady flow of income that would make more than all

the years CCN made.

xiii. Singh: have you explored any options or models to

improve unit?

xiv. Maddie: we talked 2 weeks ago about new ideas to

modernize the unit. We talked about offering it online

and having readers available online in the form of e

text. In our meetings with Joe and abhay and David we

weren’t sure if that would be enough to recover the

unit. We weren’t sure if that was a risk. It would be

risky but we tried to explore options.

xv. Singh: if you can move back to east wing would that

help?

xvi. Maddie: a lot of the business is foot traffic so yes.

People would stop by and in the trailer you don’t have

that sort of thing

xvii. Dhindsa: so we definitely listened to a lot of cons. Can

you highlight pros?

xviii. Maddie: we are lower cost. Readers are cheaper to

process through us its just a matter of getting professors

to go through us. Notes are good resources. Most of our

notes were outdated so we were trying to look for ways

to update those resources. A lot of science majors come

in to use them as an extra thing to study from. It is

helpful

xix. Dhindsa: do you know a rough number of how many

students in count?

xx. Maddie: I do know we had at least 118 notes for

organic chemistry every quarter

xxi. Dalavai: So unfortunately I didn’t make it to

commissions discussions but I was told it was brought

up that there are cheaper alternative for this same

service. How do you reconcile that? Its rough. We have

a certain price we have to maintain and that’s not

always cheapest way to go

xxii. DeAngelo: It was Georgia’s lets talk about sex event

when we were looking to buy online merchant and we

looks at CCN and it was 20% more expensive. It was

the difference between 80 and 100 dollars. We did that

to support our own unit but if I was a random individual

I would choose the cheaper option. In some instances

specifically one instance, CCN was the more expensive

option

xxiii. Maddie: we do out price like FedEx we had a print job

and we were the better alternative. I know that the notes

and stuff are available on Chegg. I can’t speak for those

because I don’t have accounts but they are like $4. We

just offer different notes

xxiv. Dalavai: do you have any case of imperative you can

make that you would say would keep CCN relevant

over competitors?

xxv. Maddie: to turn into technology mode because many

students use laptops. We can offer online text as an

option that competitors don’t. and since it eliminates

need of paper and less resources, we can offer a cheaper

price

xxvi. Dalavai: nobody wants this to happen. Unfortunately,

it’s looking that way. It sucks but if you got anything to

say, we would love to consider any solution.

xxvii. DeAngelo: INC convened earlier. There is

infrastructure set up currently to electronically convert

these notes. The unit wouldn’t be housed, it would

strictly be virtual. We upload the notes and sell on an

already established online service. We continue the

service of selling notes without physical storefront.

There is still a need to have internal printing such as for

the Coho to print flyers. So taking some of CCN’s

assets such as the printer would be taken into the closet

of ASUCD. This would be anew unit, the cost would be

$80 a week. It would break even solely to serve printer

needs. We don’t need 6 employees or paying hourly or

with stipends. There will be no longer costs. This is an

easy solution to maintain service without overhead.

xxviii. Heifitz: I wanted to mention the prices like Joe said are

way more for CCN including the readers. As we

mentioned at B&F there is a case where professors

prefer to go downtown for the sake of price and quality

xxix. DeAngelo: there is a multitude of reasons Davis

CopyMax offers cheaper prices. There are legal reasons

we charge more. They are liable to lawsuits whereas we

are not. They are not completely analogous business.

We want to follow the law above all else and if another

service doesn’t, we can’t say much about it.

xxx. Heifitz: everyone goes to other places like Greek life

has stopped going to CCN. I heard from friends it’s too

expensive

xxxi. Singh: Do you want to elaborate more on online thing

Joe? When will it happen?

xxxii. Lee: honestly CCN was my firs adopted unit so it sucks

to consider this. I wasn’t for the idea but looking more

at the data we just cant keep up. They are going to have

to run a student fee for this. It is the reality with all our

units. The expenses are above all income. This becomes

necessary. Joe has worked with trying to preserve

integral aspects of units. In the long term this saving

money helps the other units. Its not gaining the money

we hoped for. Its offset by hitting other unit accounts.

xxxiii. DeAngelo: Alex informed there is already a website

setup not being used properly. All we would need to do

is transfer over the data and it’d be ready to use. It

could be done by summer. I don’t know the technical

parts of it. I would assume it would function similarly

without the overhead.

xxxiv. Lee: Remember we had the idea about having the

ASUCD online store so if we put all purchasable

service there it can be put in a shopping cart.

xxxv. DeAngelo: its already available web thing. We just

need to push the button.

xxxvi. Savage: Do we have a system for which we think would

implement uploading the notes?

xxxvii. Maddie: all notes are digitalized already. We

discovered a couple in our files were it’s missing but

most are electronic ready. The system we have in place

on the website would need updates but it is something

where online you have system where people can

purchase online and only view it through that. You

can’t copy or download them. They are single access

and in play on the website now.

xxxviii. Martinez: did you ever try working for an alternative or

have you made peace with the unit being eliminated?

xxxix. Maddie: the note taking is very unique. If there is an

alternative to provide these notes to students. Other

than the textbook and classmates. The notes we had

included office hours and other helpful resources.

Professors even tell students to go and get these notes.

It increases subscriptions. Offering those some sort of

way post this would be helpful.

xl. Martinez: do you think services can be transferred?

xli. Maddie: yes I don’t know how easily it can be run

without someone implementing the transition. I don’t

know if its something we can do in the next three

weeks. There’s nowhere tangible to put us.

xlii. Martinez: you haven’t looked at admin or any other

place to absorb what you do? To help the students

xliii. Maddie: the idea is to keep website running to some

degree. Because that cant be outsourced elsewhere.

Updating is a completely different issue. I don’t know

how that plays in your vote.

xliv. DeAngelo: likely, all current notes will be transferred to

online store. There will be no more notes being added

because then we would have to continue hire. We

archive current notes so they are still accessible for

purchases. In some cases it doesn’t matter if it’s the

same lecture.

xlv. Martinez: if this unit is eliminated, how can we make

the services already present move them somewhere

else?

xlvi. DeAngelo: we are eliminated positions and assets. We

would move notes online

xlvii. Martinez: who would update?

xlviii. DeAngelo: there would be no update. Creative media

can work on that. Infrastructure is there. The unit has a

website not being utilized. He can upload all of the

notes and that’s it. They would not be updated. It would

just be what it was. In 2018, they wont be adding new

notes. Every note will be 2016 and previous

xlix. Maddie: there’s nothing more current than fall 2015.

We didn’t have note takers this year.

l. Dhaliwal: this is by no means to undermine what CCN

does. Since my freshmen years there are tons of Google

drives that student share that include recent notes or the

quarter before. There’s Chegg and other portals. If you

are going to transfer stuff, it would be awesome to be

online

Senate Discussion

i. Lee: I would encourage you to ride the house first

ii. Singh: we are in senate discussion so any final thoughts

to Maddie?

iii. Maddie: No thanks

iv. Park: one thing I was at the meeting with CCN with Joe

and abhay. We had Kathy come in to explain the

financial situation. What you see in front of you is the

units performance. One thing I want to highlight is that

from last years admin they were having talks about this

but it was never considered to cut the unit. It hasn’t

been done before. There has been a time lapse. Admin

was left with the tough choice to call this. Maddie

wasn’t informed on how she can turn this around. She

was given only 2 weeks. So that was very little model.

Then she sees this bill to be cut. There’s a lot of things

to consider I do see the business aspect but there are

also different units hemorrhaging units. Is this the unit

that must be cut? Look at it from all aspects I know

CCN hasn’t been doing stellar but if we provide them

with one chance to turn it around

v. Savage: what do you recommend?

vi. Park: I would say lets look at different units right now

we only see CCN's budget. We need to take into

holistic consideration

vii. Savage: which units are you referring to?

viii. DeAngelo: this is going to become a witch-hunt we

didn’t just wake up and decide CCN. We are cutting the

unit because it is historically unprofitable. we have

looked at alternative and compared with other services

at other campuses. Their services are operated by admin

and profitable as well as highly digitalized. Look at this

from business perspective because ASUCD is a

business. If we can’t finance, we will cease to exist.

Our commercial units have to perform. Its not like we

didn’t give this unit a change. November 2011 senate

purchased 14000 of capital equipment to this unit. This

was movement on behalf of the controller of the time.

This unit just does not provide a demand in service.

ix. Savage: Irveen and Shai have to leave so I suggest we

vote on this.

x. Lee: Divide the house so they can register opinion

xi. Grewal: motion to divide the house

Divide the House

xii. Savage: gage of temperature

Vote Count 7:1 Bill passed

Martinez Accepts

SB 78 – 9:25

i. Deangelo: part of the process of dissolving this unit is

reallocating the assets. We would like transfer this to

capital reserves

ii. Heifitz: it’s in the bylaws all assets go back to ASUCD

Senate Discussion

iii. Dhindsa: Just to clarify if we weren’t to use this money

and put in reserves would e be able to put it toward

other units budgets?

iv. DeAngelo: if we didn’t move the money it would just

sit in the account for a unit that doesn’t unit. We can

put the money anywhere. Our capital reserves have

been depleted a senate table has spent $1.5 million over

the years we need to replenish this account.

v. Heifitz: The aggie threads thing replenishes what they

spent which is a huge amount of money. It bring it back

to a balance point

vi. DeAngelo: senate can’t touch this money. Management

team specifically instituted this at the time because they

felt senate was irresponsible at the time

Question

Bill Passes

SB 79 – 9:29

i. DeAngelo: among myriad of capital purchases, one of

which was a garment printer. This printer cost 14-18

thousand. This printer has never functioned correctly. It

has vinegar associated with it and weighs like a

thousand pounds. Nobody knows how to assemble it.

We are looking to dump it through aggie surplus and

get a fraction of what we paid. Hopefully we can get

500-1000. It never functioned and the ink is extremely

expensive. It’s like the sixe of a car.

ii. Heifitz: basically what Joe covered, this makes sense.

Our main concern was if this would sell but we have to

follow policy. Shouldn’t it say yes for finance? Like on

the bottom?

Questions in text

iii. Heifitz: should it say yes in finance?

iv. DeAngelo: it should also say 2/3

Public Discussion

v. Park: I know you stated this is from aggie threads, have

we looked into trying to maybe fix it?

vi. DeAngelo: we were in litigation with the company that

sold it to us. It never printed correctly. We ruined a ton

of shirts working with the printer. It doesn’t work and is

in a million pieces. The ink is old. Nobody knows how

to assemble it. It has to be hooked up to a vent. The

thing weighs a ton. We were supposed to hire a special

operator but because it never functioned we never hired

anybody. I was in high school when this happened so I

don’t know the details.

vii. Yosef: have you talked to craft center to take it? Maybe

they know how to run it

viii. DeAngelo: its not even functional.

Senate Discussion

ix. Dalavai: so what was the conversation like with the

company? Shouldn’t we have gotten refunded?

x. DeAngelo: these occurred several years ago I'm sure

staff did their diligence pursuing all avenues of the law.

They said they fixed it but it never did. This is coming

from Janice. She told me to get rid of this thing.

Question

Bill passes

VII. Introduction of New Legislation – 9:34

i. Savage: Abhay sent two pieces of legislation we got

authored by Martinez. One authored by Deangelo about

liquidating a whirlpool refrigerator and that will be sent

to IAC and B&F. other is Martinez

ii. Martinez: next week the SPEAK group

iii. Savage: reimbursement form

iv. Martinez: of $200 they are bringing family members to

different places. It’s the undocumented student and

allies awareness week. They have a family day

conference and they bring their families and this would

reimburse some travel costs for families

v. Savage: it’s going to B&F

Public Discussion

vi. Yosef: WEF is starting tomorrow. Come out and

volunteer and you’ll get a shirt. Lots of Caribbean

vegetarian food. We can use you for anything. Just

show up and find me and ask what to do. This week

even if you’re not going to volunteer just come out its

going to be a good time. We have extra line up posters

to give out. I was wondering if we can have closed

session next week to discuss personnel matters,

generally. Not for tonight. But next week.

vii. Flores: motion to put a closed session on next weeks

agenda

viii. Savage: I can do it

ix. Yosef: I talked to a couple senators about it. How does

this work?

x. Singh: we motion to closed session next week and I

recommend you go to senator office hours and then you

can bring them to closed session as well

xi. Yosef: its nothing to serious

xii. Singh: it never hurts to stop by and talk about it

xiii. Savage: motion for closed session next week ASUCD

personnel matters related to WEF

xiv. Flores reads Bylaws

xv. DeAngelo: can we go into closed session

xvi. Flores: all official meetings of senate should be open to

public except closed sessions, which may be calling

during the meeting. It invalidates chapter 21 of bylaws

that mentions you cant motion for closed session during

regular meeting

VIII. Closed Session – 9:41 pm

Senate Bill 76

i. Chiang: this bill is basically to allocate $455.70 in

senate reserves to send delegation of 16 people to the

mental health conference during budget hearing.

Originally it was to send 28 so we could foresee

reducing the amount but for now Joe and I decided to

keep it at this amount for the sake of disability needs

because we would have to buy more expensive rooms.

This is to show ASUCD interest in supporting this.

Janice told me milt would like to ASUCD support. It

would cover hotel cost and they would cover travel

cost. We launched the application last night and we

already have 12 applications and we are closing on

Monday. It includes active minds members and we are

getting a diverse group applying. I think this would be a

great opportunity and my staff will be vetting these

application. We are hoping to have a delegation

composed of ASUCD advocacy as well as people just

passionate about going. Just a few concerns brought up

were as of now the reason we need the cushion money

is because potentially each room can fit 4 we may have

to fit 2 people because they might not be able to share

beds. We reduced size and added tax so please amend

that.

Questions in Text

ii. Flores: what does queen mean?

iii. Chiang: its supposed to be queen bed

iv. Savage: maybe put it in quotes since it’s the name

v. DeAngelo: is the math correct?

vi. Chiang: no that’s why I mentioned to change it

vii. Park: slash number 19

Public Discussion

viii. Wolansky: You could just request something extra on

the floor for the issue of people not sharing a bed. Put it

on your advertisement that ASUCD is supporting.

ix. Flores: how are you getting there?

x. Chiang: by students who offer to drive. I ran this

through Janice they would do online course and sign

insurance forms and would be good to go. I am not

going.

xi. Flores: who is leading?

xii. Chiang: the deputy director of OASR and my staff will

be leading. He would be the leader.

xiii. DeAngelo: So you’re getting 5 rooms for 16 people

xiv. Chiang: 4 rooms. I did the math and either way it works

out because we are taking less cars. Either way we only

contribute the set amount because MILT will cover

some costs. If they don’t agree to give us money I will

withdraw.

xv. DeAngelo: I'm fairly certain employees cant share beds.

And if someone requires special assistance? It doesn’t

seem relevant to continue this bill if we don’t know

who’s attending

xvi. Chiang: till be much easier to attain funding from

MILT if I say ASUCD will give us money

xvii. DeAngelo: Janice was fairly certain they cant share

beds

xviii. Savage: if it doesn’t end up working out, we just get the

money back

xix. Chiang: these costs account for 8 rooms because the

reduced cost in travel

xx. Molodanof: its important we pass this bill because

asking for MILT he can say oh we don’t know if senate

will pass. Its going toward a great thing and because we

have a lack of funds for OASR we are taking a step

forward to show them support.
