Aandrew – just cheese

Whether ASHMC should fund or partially fund fences (DOS would pay for the rest) – Lindsay Hall, Rachid Grimes, and Michael Edwards, Campus Life Coordinator
Roxie – longterm fund has $30,000
Lindsay – DOS has offered to pay for half if necessary
    Renting option
    Money from renting pays back DOS first
Will – are we getting nice fences from other schools?
Lindsay – they’re bad
    CMC rents from outside
Will – they will rent from us?
Lindsay – they already rent, so it’d be better to rent from us
    Dorms liable for any damages
Wylie – are they still coming from the east coast?
Lindsay – yes
    Not in time for foam
Lindsay and Rachid leave
Matt- I like the idea if DOS pays for half
    Really good proposal
Bridget – does this work with all of the dorms?
Matt- no, but still have some old fences that can be used
Ryan – new fences don’t need feet
Chris – don’t need to pull from DOS since long term fund
Wylie- is renting ok?
Roxie – yes

Discussion
Rachid- meetings should be during meals
Bridget – meetings already take too long
    Meals mean longer
Margaret- social/cap/dorm funding
Matt- dorms should get more funding for own events
    $3,000 increase per dorm
Margaret- we don’t control dorm funding
    Trustees give first semester funding, and we match is second semester
Ryan – can we supplement?
Margaret- we could ask for increase from trustees
Matt- idea of social not funding 1C parties
Margaret- how much social budget goes to 1C?
Rachid – approximately 1/3
    I could do a summary
Lindsay – dorms that throw 1C parties have other attendants
    Their budget goes to funding parties for other dorms
Bridget – how much of our budget goes to other school’s parties?
Rachid – that rarely happens
    <$10,000
Ryan – increasing dorm funding would be good because it could go to non-parties
