Approval of the amount not to exceed $295.00 to be added to the Executive Board/Senate-approved purchase price of $675.00 (encumbered Executive Board Meeting 05/09/94) for the departmental scanner to be upgraded to an HP Scanjet II CX (color scanner) with a PC-AT interface kit, including a six foot cable, to be encumbered out of the fy 94-95 CSUN 2702 (GenEx) account; No action taken, item fails. B. Approval of addition to the CSUN Organization's Board Policy Section VI. Recognition of Organizations, Item H (see agenda); SENATOR SCHWARTZ stated that wording is to ambiguous and discriminates and limits smaller groups. SENATOR BLOCK yields the floor to DIRECTOR PHILLIPS who stated her reasons for the item. SENATOR SCHWARTZ believes that specifying a number of events would be better than a point system. SENATOR RAY stated that a percentage system would work better. SENATOR POBST stated that some of the smaller groups would suffer and end up being kicked off campus. SENATOR VODRAZKA stated that it was a good idea, but even with larger groups they have other responsibilities and it would be hard for them to get a group together; it imposes restrictions, and forcing people to go to an event may reflect poorly on the event if the people there had bad attitudes. SENATOR COLE called for questions; the motion was denied. SENATOR VOLKERT asked wouldn't there be a lot more red tape, and why is it on a point scale? DIRECTOR PHILLIPS stated that there would be more red tape, but she would be the one with the most work and she was willing to do the extra work. As for the point system, she felt that would be the best and the most fair method. SENATOR MORROW asked Director Phillips to explain the point system, and who would be keeping track of it? SENATE MINUTES 24-3 0 page 7 DIRECTOR PHILLIPS explained the system and explained that she would be keeping track of it. SENATOR PIDA stated that the item needed an amendment to only require the necessary people required to be at the event. Motion made to amend the amount of members to two members made by SENATOR SMITH, seconded by SENATOR FOX. SENATOR PIDA believes it should be amended to the amount needed to participate in the event. Move into a vote. Motion fails 7-6-2. SENATORS DINOTO, PIDA, WONG, MORROW, BLOCK, and RAY opposed. SENATORS POBST and CAMPBELL abstained. SENATOR SCHWARTZ stated that the item should not be passed. SENATOR POBST stated that the item needed to be re-worked and then brought back, perhaps three event instead of a point system. SENATOR MORROW stated that people should be encouraged to attend an event not required, perhaps it should be re-worded. Motion made by SENATOR BLOCK to amend the item to the minimum amount required to participate in the event, seconded by SENATOR PIDA. Motion made by SENATOR VODRAZKA to amend the amendment to five members or fifty percent (50%) which ever is smaller or the amount required to participate in the event. Motion made by SENATOR SCHWARTZ to remand the item back to the Organizations Board, seconded by SENATOR MCMILLIN. SENATOR RAY stated that it should be taken back to the Organizations Board. SENATOR DINOTO stated that SENATOR VODRAZKA'S amendment was good and should be passed contingent on what the Organizations Board decides. SENATOR POBST yields the floor to DIRECTOR PHILLIPS who has nothing further to talk about. SENATOR POBST stated that DIRECTOR PHILLIPS Board needs to work through the item further. Move into a vote on motion to postponement. Motion passes 13- 2-0. SENATORS DINOTO and SMITH opposed. SENATE MINUTES 24-3 0 page 8 Motion made by SENATOR SCHWARTZ to reduce STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT BOIXO'S stipend to $500.00 per month and SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO and STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT LAGOMARSINO'S stipends to $499.99, seconded by SENATOR POBST. SENATOR SCHWARTZ THEN MADE A SPEECH TO LIST THE REASONS FOR LOWERING THE STIPENDS AS FOLLOWS: At the meeting that the stipend was approved Student Body President Boixo stated herself that if she didn't perform at a reasonable level that it should be reduced. She has now had 4 1/2 months to get acquainted with her duties, and not one major item has been sent to the Senate in a manner which would allow the Senate to ethically vote on it. Documentation has not existed, time limits have been broken, the proper procedures have not been followed, the tailgate was saved by the Senate with a bylaw being waived. When the bylaw was waived at that time the Senate said "no more", yet after that she asked a Senator to circumvent the system again for the upcoming tailgate She consistently abuses her authority, case in point Senate President Pro Tempore Pida. He disagreed with her which is not only his right, but his obligation as a Senator and Executive Board member. She removed him from all Presidential committees, an impingement of his right to free speech. This means that she broke the Federal Constitution. She attempted to remove him from a Regents Committee, Presidential Selection, which is beyond her power as well. Pida was the Senior member on the Presidential Committees and is respected and liked by the Faculty on these committees. She attempted to block funding for the CSUN Preschool; she made every effort to ensure that an election would not be obtained, a CSUN run election with all of these existing problems could only lead to trouble. Her personal vendettas cloud her judgment and cause her to act contrary to the interests of the students as illustrated by the two previous cases. Illegalities, not only have her actions with the election service issue been morally and ethically wrong but legally as well. Her entire process was run in a manner inconsistent with the legal channels through which she must go. She set dates for one service to have items submitted yet she did not do so for the other. She set the Executive Board to vote on the issue although they had never, nor did the Senate ever, see any formal bid from Ratray1s company. If that bid did not exist in paper another legal problem exists, he would like to see the bid after the meeting. Vice President Ackerman as well as staff in Purchasing have commented on the illegality of her actions. This is why she was forced to put it to bid. She has also abused the $500.00 emergency moneys given to the Executive Board. She continues to do so. A Tailgate is nice, but it is not an emergency She is trying to circumvent Senate authority by creating a tailgate for less than $500.00. Along SENATE MINUTES 24-3 0 page 9 with the $500.00 issue, Business Manager Callison was asked by me for a list of these expenditures on Friday, August 20th, and I still have not received this, that better change soon, this delay is not in the interest of the students who employ her. If she cannot handle requests from her employers, yes Senators are her employers as well as the Executive Board, then perhaps we should be looking for someone who can. Many other reasons for reducing her stipend exist, including an item admitted to on various instances by Vice President Lagomarsino. Collusion with President Boixo on the elections and Preschool issues. That fellow Senators is ground for impeachment. I am willing to say lets cut her stipend now because she is not living up to the expectations of a President. She is not serving the students and quite frankly she is not doing her job. The next step of course will be impeachment of the officers who refuse to serve the students responsibly. This Senate Session is coming to a close, some of us might not run again, some might not get re-elected. Are we willing to leave this session knowing what we know. The next session will take another 4 1/2 months to see this administration in its true light. I am not, and hope you are not willing to let down the students like this. I have been hearing a lot lately about President Boixo and Vice President Lagomarsino patting themselves on the back for a job well done. President Boixo fulfills another campaign promise? It was in the Rebel Yell. If only they knew that she blew that promise by not setting it up properly then relying on the Senate to save her from her own incompetence. We made it happen, and then we did not receive a thank you and did not even receive CSUN tickets to the game. President Boixo is an elected official, it is illegal for her to accept gratuities. That's what those tickets are, if she considers them her tickets as she has been. In the past they were gifts to CSUN. I know that a lot of people will hear this and say, isn't he just patting the Senate on the back, sure I am, but it is time that the people who really get things done for the students take credit for it. CSUN used to be a team, now all I hear from the Executive Board is I. There is no I in Team. Motion made to amend the stipends to $601.00 for President Boixo, $600.00 for Vice President Lagomarsino, and $600.15 for Senate President Romero by SENATOR BLOCK, seconded by SENATOR FOX. SENATOR MCMILLIN stated that there needed to be paperwork and proof to back up all that SENATOR SCHWARTZ has said. SENATOR VOLKERT asked what her stipend was before? SENATOR PRESIDENT ROMERO stated it was $750.00. SENATE MINUTES 24-3 0 page 10 SENATOR POBST stated that it could always be raised again if she improved. SENATOR SCHWARTZ stated that the reason that he chose $500.00 was because that was what the last person had started at. SENATOR PIDA stated that in the Constitution anything $500.00 or less has to be divulged at the next Senate Meeting. SENATOR MORROW asked if she would be taking another job? SENATOR SMITH stated that he is trying to talk to Business Manager Callison about expenditure reports. SENATOR FOX stated that she had heard that President Boixo was applying for another job. SENATOR DINOTO agrees that the stipend should be lowered but only when there is proof. SENATOR SCHWARTZ yields the floor to Vice President Lagomarsino who stated that he couldn't speak for President Boixo but that he quit his job of five years to take this position and is just able to get by with the stipend he is receiving now. Motion made by SENATOR COLE to table the item, seconded by SENATOR FOX. Move into a vote. Motion passes 12-2-1. SENATORS SCHWARTZ and POBST opposed. SENATOR MORROW abstained. IX. OPEN DISCUSSION STUDENT BOY VICE PRESIDENT LAGOMARSINO stated that there are tours of the Preschool going on and if anyone would like to go they just need to let him know; The Womens Center is having an event called Sex at 7 on October 14th, and October 3rd CSUN is co-sponsoring the Take Back the Night Rally, contracts will be in the boxes 3 days prior; although it is not his job he will be getting the Justice seats filled; for next week Laura Reeves will be on the Agenda for the Entertainment and Programming Director position, he yields the floor to her to speak- she would like to start working on things right away; he was not able to attend last weeks tailgate because of a sudden emergency with friends but as a professional courtesy he would ask that he not be harassed by other officials; he thanked people who picked up for short falls. SENATOR FERGEN stepped out of the Meeting. SENATE MINUTES 24-3 0 page 11 SENATOR POBST her decisions were not personal, congratulations to SENATOR COLE. SENATOR SMITH stated that he and SENATOR VODRAZKA and DIRECTOR GREENHALGH waited for the signs and gave up eventually, the sign guy said on Monday that they had been ready to be picked up on Friday. He feels the stipends for Vice President and Senate President should remain the same but the Presidents should be lowered; don't forget to do your required speeches in class there are a lot of students who are informed that way; he talked with Business Manager Callison and the Senate will be receiving contracts that are non administrative; definition of a loser, someone who needs a life. SENATOR CAMPBELL on the stipends she agrees that there is no problem with the Vice President or the Senate President but if anyone looked back on the records she never voted for the increase because she thought it was too high and it would be a bigger slap in the face to have it lowered, and President Boixo stated at that time that it would be bigger slap in the face to have it low to begin with, President Boixo is not doing her job but it shouldn't be lowered to a point where she can't survive, it also shouldn't be lowered when she is not at the meeting to defend himself; she believed the bill was a good idea, the idea isn't to slide by doing the least amount possible; Good Luck on Code SENATOR MORROW she tried it last year and it was hard; she also wanted to let everyone know that she didn't flake on DIRECTOR PHILLIPS but she has a lot of other responsibilities and SENATOR SMITH would be able to put more time and effort into the job. SENATOR BLOCK she is for lowering the stipend of President Boixo but she also believes that the rest of the officers are doing there jobs. SENATOR RAY the item for Organizations Board is a good idea it just needs some work; he agrees with the majority that the stipend should be lowered. SENATOR COLE thank you to the Senate for this appointment, he will do his best; he oppose the Organizations Board item, because it is just more requirements for organizations; on the Presidential stipend item I have no opinion at this time. SENATOR VOLKERT the Organizations Board item was a good idea, the item should be taken back and revised. SENATOR MCMILLIN about the attorney we should not be waiting for another one we know nothing about; passing on voting to see what the outcome will be is not right; congratulations to SENATE MINUTES 24-3 0 page 12 the new senator, but his attitude wasn't very good; calling the time during a roll call discussion is rude; agrees with what Vice President Lagomarsino had to say about animosity; commended SENATOR SCHWARTZ for standing up and saying something but she doesn't approve of the way he went about it, it is only fair for her to be there to defend herself. SENATOR VODRAZKA what is the deal with the pagemaker because it could be defective and we should take it back; the Organizations Board item if it included individual College events too would be more likely to pass, the item needs more work. SENATOR DINOTO congratulations to SENATOR COLE; commends DIRECTOR PHILLIPS for her work. SENATOR WONG congratulations to SENATORS COLE and MORROW. SENATOR FOX saw the problems between the Executive Board, the snickering and lack of respect, if she can see it so can everyone in the gallery; she apologized for being late, but she and SENATOR MORROW were at the Presidential Selection Meeting; for the hand bill issue make a t-shirt or something but the hand bills just harass the students. SENATOR MORROW the Organizations item is a good idea but it needs some work; congratulations to SENATOR COLE; she was at the Search Committee Meeting also and it went well. SENATOR SCHWARTZ the Organizations Board is a good idea; he sees problems and he wants them fixed, this is strictly business; congratulations to SENATOR COLE; he hopes stipend are decreased if the job is not getting done; no more waiving of the bylaw what are they there for if the Senate is going to keep waiving them, have the courage to say no. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE PIDA President Boixo did try to take him off the Presidential Search Committee, but she has no authority to do that, the Chair of the committee refused to remove him, it was a personal vendetta on her part because of the tailgate party; do some research and read the Constitution, knowledge is power; if there is something on the agenda that goes against something in the Constitution and bylaws he will bring it up for discussion; congratulation to SENATOR COLE; do research and come up with your own opinion. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO congratulation to SENATOR COLE; there is a Faculty Senate Meeting tomorrow at 12:15p.m. in MSU 201; looking for a Student Residential Hall Liaison; the new Constitutions will be ready for the next Senate Session. SENATE MINUTES 24-3 0 page 13 Senate Caucus scheduled for before the next Senate Meeting at 5:30p.m., and the Ways & Means Meeting is moved to before the meeting on the 26th.
