NSA Director Michelle DeTillio spoke against approval of the 911 account, stating that it was not enough money to run the NSA during a legislative session. Senate President Pro Tempore Ohriner stated that changes could be made at a later time, that there is no need to hastily change the budget until such time as figures are presented. NSA Director DeTillio stated that she would require a secretary for NSA and that the Appropriations Board had cut the $2,100 from the budget for a secretary. CSUN Business Manager Levins explained that it was the intent of the Executive Board to make available a secretary to the NSA Director via the CSUN Secretarial Pool curcently under formation. SENATE MINUTES #14-33 page 3 Vice President Fischer stated that this years budget for NSA was significantly greater that last year's budget. He stated that the Operating Control is about double that of last year due to this being a legislative year. CSUN Business Manager Levins explained that the decrease in the ^ monies in stipends reflects the Senate change. • NSA Director DeTillio explained that she felt it imperative to have her own personal secretary so that she could depend on one person to maintain'rfecords and be available at odd hours during the Spring. Vice President Fischer explained"'.that-we could transfer money into NSA if a need is presented at a lafter time, but recommended that we do not do so until the need occurs. NSA Director DeTillio said that she does not want to ask for money at a later time, that she wants to know what the budget is going to be for the year to project costs. She further stated that the Operating Control was not enough to effectively operate the NSA. Senator Cohen asked the NSA Director what she plans to do in the next year and how much it would cost. The NSA Director outlined a few projects including trips to Carson City 2 surveys, a co-sponsorship with E&P, among other things. Senator Cohen asked for some figures on these proposals. The NSA Director was not able to present figures or cost break-downs. Senator Varona moved to amend the budget by taking all money from the 911 NSA account and putting it into the 906 Contingency account. Senator Nichols seconded. Senator Nellis stated that he opposed the amendment and was very dissappointed in the NSA Director's report and the lack of a clear proposal.
