Agenda

Tuesday December 9^th, 2008

6:30 p.m. Mills Library

I. Call to OrderÌý

II. Special Business

• Rachel Kincannon resigns from her position as the Social Committee’s Director of Publicity simply because she does not have the energy for it and feels that someone with more energy would be better for the position. It has been a fun year. She will do everything she can to make this transition for a new SoCo Exec. Just let her know if you’ll need her.ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý

III. Announcements and Constituent Concerns

• Complaints about the library computer lab temperature being too hot—Fraser will talk with the library people and Lydia will talk with Physical Plant.
• Mabee Center is being torn down this break? No… it won’t happen until March.
• There may be a bubble put around the outdoor tennis courts when the Mabee Center is demolished. Chance is concerned about Judo and wants to make sure they still have a place.Ìý

IV. Departmental Liaison Reports

• From now on Lydia will meet with Loyd Ryan, Gray, Sublett, Russell, and co. who meet every Tuesday anyway. So if you have any concerns that those kids can help you with, let her know!
• Bike racks are coming to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ over break!
• Couch trash can costs $600. There was not one there initially.
• Peep holes in the back of FS and Huntington soon!
• Energy competition is definitely possible since every place of residence has a meter.
• Light on southwest corner of Martin is broken weekly (side that faces DW and Buhler). Lights on campus that are shining into the rooms and bothering people cost 600 each to replace. Please don’t break them. Holler if they are bothering you and we can adjust.
• Mills is getting trashed every night. If this persists, Lyle will lock it. Chalk is being crushed, being thrown around, etc.
• Sneaking into job site—paint spilling on cement, etc… no good. This will cost more and is not energy efficient!
• Primp your ride coming your way: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 8-5
• Forum for the WAC next semester!Ìý

V. Committee Reports

• Finance Committee with Alex Graddy-Reed
  • KHDX (see request below). APPROVED: $20,000!
  • Making any future promises with the money we have now is like the seniors graduating are losing the money they paid for their student activity fee, which isn’t fair. Let’s spend it and get cool bands or whatever you want to spend it on!

OK GO Concert Spending History:

Artist Fee: ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý$30,000.ÌýLast spring we were allotted 30k, and 20k for each artist fee

Production: ÌýÌýÌý$16,350.ÌýThis was more than our spring allocation allotted, because last year’s proposer did not know that the more expensive artists -- which we were approved to buy per last spring’s allocation -- would have more expensive production fees. We were then legally obligated to provide this production. The allocation for last spring approved about 5k for production of each show. The spring artist is likely to need about the same if we get an artist who costs 25k or more. While it is more expensive, it does make for a much better show. However, it always depends on the artist.

Flights: ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý$3,685.98

Hotels: ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý$1,845.52Ìýarranged by Tonya Hale. 6 people for 2 nights. This is more than what Senate agrees to pay for student trips, however for artists who come to campus it is standard to buy each member of the band their own room and to stay at a better accommodation.

Van Rental: ÌýÌýÌý$ 110.70ÌýFor airport pickup/drop-off and general chauffeuring of band

Catering: ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý$277.50ÌýThis included food for OK Go and for the production team, and is essential to the concert.

Fence/Labor: $125.00ÌýPhysical plant requires rental of the fence plus labor.

Security: ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý$562.50Ìýarranged by Rick Sublett. 6 officers for 3 hours.

Toilets: ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý $86.60

Net T-shirt cost: $189.50ÌýThis is cost of 500 kick-ass t-shirts minus sales of said shirts.

Ìý

KHDX Senate Allocation:ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý$70,000

Estimated amount available in the spring: ÌýÌýÌýÌý $16,788.50

We pay three members of KHDX staff a salary, (1 at $100/month, 2 at $50.month for 7 months, and need to pay the salaries 4 more times.) cumulatively totaling $1,400, plus a phone bill that is about 5 dollars a semester.

This leaves us at an estimated $16,000 for the spring concert

Fundraising initiatives:

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý- Holliday Bizarre, T-shirt Sale

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý- Valentines Day Care Package, $25 per package. Last year, made a little over 700 dollars from the care packages, but it is unknown how much KHDX will make from these initiatives this year.

9. Artist Fee:

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe have tentative ideas for the artists. No one has been booked yet because we wanted to know how much money we could spend, unlike other clubs who book an artist they can’t afford and then come for discretionary.

Tentative ideas include:
