As submitted by Senator Sumner on behalf of CSUN Services Director Ea Madrigal. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: move to postpone until 34-32 SENATOR FRIEDLIEB2nds SENATOR MULLINAX: why? VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: it's the first time it's been on the agenda. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: um, the reason it's being postponed is because the probationary period that ea is on it's the consensus of the eboard that until the probationary period has been served, an assistant shouldn't be appointed to her. SENATOR MULLINAX: if there's more than one person screwint up, it may not be there fault. I think it's important that she have an assistant, the eboard presented ea. her ideas must have been good enough for you to appoint her. so ifsomeone else can carry out her ideas, an assistant might be good. SENATOR DEARMAS: senate approved an assistant for elections board like that. I know there have been some issues and misunderstandings, my point is that it's imperative that she have help. SENATOR CONWAY: what took you so long to put this on the agenda. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: it wasn't submitted properly. SENATOR CONWAY: I was otld it was given to you months ago. SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: no, it wasn't correct, she daid I'm sorry and sne sumner came and said here it is and submitted correctly, she didn't suSENATOR MAYERit it properly. SENATOR CONWAY: you mess up all the time. 8 SENATOR MAYER: why don't we amend the term to end with the probationary period? schuck: let me answer a couple of things, she's not being suspended, she's bein ut on probation, she's been given the opportunity to turn it around, these are back to back evaluations that have been negative, we don't feel like it's a good idea.. .1 don't know korie. the onl person I know who has had an interview with her is madrigal, if at the end of three weeks she can do the duties the way we fele the way they should be done, we don't feel confident in her decision making. SENATOR MAYER: you are hindering her ability to do her job by denying her an assistandt. peter obviously oversees all that anyway. sumner: I don't work with her everyday, these guys do. as a senate we have the power to work on it. if you don't agree with it, then just pretty much don't vote for it. SENATOR ESPINOZA: whether she odes need an ssitant, why don't we just postpone it and we'll have the decision next week. SENATOR CAZARES: she had one good evaluationand she said she needed an ssitant then. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: to address q's about approval of elections director it was sitting thre for at least two or a month and a half. VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE ANDERSON: my whole job is to be a sup to dorectors. I worked with ther step by step throught he process and she can recruit a board, and she can sue candidate burst as a board member, she has plenty ot help, we just don't feel the necessity to put forth a director at this time, we'd rather have them on the board than have them fighting for their jobs in three weeks. SENATOR MAPES: it sounds like they're split on this, I'm sure we can all make an effort to help. SENATOR MACK: like Jaime said, get a little more ffort rather than jump to something so extreme. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: I would say since the next meeting is in two weeks, why don't we postpone until nexst mtg and you guys can interview her and know what you feel about her. 9 SENATOR CONWAY: I don't feel comfortable not giving her someone to work with, I don't feel comfortable not giving her every opportunity, shcuck: eric? SENATOR CONWAY: it's not working, she's not doing well with them, seems to em that we should give her all the opportunity in the world. SENATOR CRAWFORD: we don't have amtg next week because it's labor day, right? think aobut the itme frame the new assist dir could be working for. I don't see how the ssist dir working for two weeks could make the diffetence between ea keeping or losing her job. at: it's the beginning of the semester and everyone's busy, we should consider giving her more time. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: I don't understand how everyone thinks, if everyone thinks eboard is the ultimate assistance, then what's the need fror any dir or assist dir? there should be an assist dir. I think we should give her one asap. think abou this guys, two weeks is a big difference, sen crawford. it could mean the difference between a massive failure, it's not a minute insignificant factor, it's major and it could make a difference in anything.

Costs will be encumbered from the CSUN 2702 FY 05 Reserve budget. As submitted by Senators Huerta and Jimenez on behalf of Director Sumner. SENATOR HUERTA moves to approve SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI 2nds SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: I don't like taking money out of the reserves. I see a big problem with this. DIRECTOR SUMNER only has 25500 in her budget. SENATOR CAZARES: just to reiterate, this program is webbased? Can we not rent them? DIRECTOR SUMNER: we researched that and it was about the same price. PRESIDENT SCHUCK: it also doesn't give us ability to do surveys anytime we want. SENATOR CRAWFORD: I just wanted to clarify the 300 for shuttles is split up. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: move to amend by striking to the apple store. SENATOR CAZARES 2nds SENATOR CONWAY: is it a good idea to pay money and not know where it's going? BUSINESS MANAGER HILL: we like to see who offers the best rate - in the past. 12 DIRECTOR SUMNER: we had to get it in. Apple had the cheapest bid. Right now it's between Dell and Gateway. It'll be the same price, probably a little cheaper. We won't know until we get all the bids in. It has to go through purchasing. 18-0-0 Amendment PASSES unanimously PRESIDENT SCHUCK: any concerns about reserves, there's 850000 but if the Board of Regents ever gets in a bind, they can swipe that money. Don't think that's money we have control over. You're at a big risk if it's sitting around. When they find out about it, they'll either swipe it or question it. BUSINESS MANAGER HILL: new controller on campus, the first question he asked was why is it so big? Why don't we cut it back each year was the next question. SENATOR MULLINAX: you have to spend to make, we should give ourselves raises. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB opposes. SENATOR CONWAY abstains. 15-1-1 Item PASSES as amended. E. Action Item: Approval of one (1) CSUN member to serve as Director of CSUN Services for a term ending April 30, 2005. As submitted by Senator Crawford on behalf of the Executive Board, out of order XII. EXECUTIVE BOARD SUMMATIONS VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE ANDERSON: I spoke to them both personally and said here's my number and asked what I could do to help. SENATOR TEMPLETON, you didn't come to the scholarship committee. We do go out and help directors. We want them to succeed. We don't want DIRECTOR MADRIGAL to fail. If she fails, all of UNLV suffers. SENATOR SUMNER leaves at 8:24pm VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: When I do evaluations I try to highlight the good as much as possible. When someone gets good or needs improvement.. .I'm up there all the time. If you're not up there, you don't know what's going on. I didn't see anyone but SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI at welcome meeting. It'd be nice to see more active involvement. I've asked her time and time again and the only 13 comment I got was that she needed a body. Directors always ask for help. It's our job to supervise, it's their job to be administrators for their department. PRESIDENT SCHUCK: asks directors. It's not like I abandon the directors. Every time any of our directors asks for help they run stuff past me, I revise things, I try to be a helping hand. I'm pretty hands on. If you think we as an e board aren't assisting them, you guys are dead wrong. I'd rather be happy and have everything work out good. I don't want to sit for 2 and a half hours... We brought you one bad evaluation that we brought it to you with a unanimous eboard vote. DIRECTOR SUMNER had a bad report and I couldn't be more happy with how much she's turned that around. We're not going to bring you stuff that I know is going to be a battle if I don't have to. Have a good first week of school. Go Rebels, Go CSUN. SENATE PRESIDENT AMES QUIT A: I'll take this tomorrow morning over to Lisa. Items are due by 5:00pm, Friday, Sept 10. That's for the 30th meeting. SENATOR CAZARES, I need to talk to you about that committee for bylaws. Please go see her. XIII. GOOD OF THE SENATE SENATOR ESPINOZA: good luck in new school year. SENATOR BOWERS: for my fraterninty we're purtting on a fundraiser. Alpha Kappa Psi. At Sunset Station poker tournatment $50 buy in. Open bar. Also, Justice McSharry and I would like to invite you guys to our housewarming party at 8. She would like gifts. I don't care. SENATOR MACK: concerning welcome week, throughout the beginning I saw a lot of people helping in a lot of other ways. Not once did I ever hear the eboard ask for help. I don't even know who she is. I hear a lot of personalized things. If you ask a little more, you'll et a lot more help. SENATOR ZANDER: have a good week. SENATOR JIMENEZ left because it was his mother's birthday. He loves his mom. SENATOR KRISTA DONNELLY: as for SENATOR TEMPLETON about scholarship committee I felt I was made very much aware about the meeting. The communication was fine. I got emails and was asked in person. As for the reserves I don't think the spending is frivolous. Henry did a really good job at orientation., sorry I left early last meeting, it was my birthday. SENATOR KARA DONNELLY: thank you for appointing me at the last meeting. Sorry I left early; it was my sister's birthday and I love my sister. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: I don't remember whether it's mandatory anymore but I think it would be a good thing to do if it isn't it would be good if everyone posted 14 office hours. I definitely think we shoud start posting our office hours. Don't keep saying the same thing someone else said. Speak when it's your turn, not when someone else has the floor. SENATOR MULLINAX: rules and ethics we need someone on rules and etics. SENATOR MACK's wrong. I do make personal attacks at Schuck (laughs). You have two weeks to talk to two classes. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to do a good job and should be given all the opportunity to do it. Just because she won't admit she needs help, dones't mean she doesn't need it. It wasn't Henry who got everyone hyped, it was the band. I hope UNLV does well. I hope they don't lose by 26 points. Watch the marching band, they're doing some weird weird stuff this year. You reiterate yourself over and over and over again. I work at the freakin' frog at 10 so stop in and say hi. SENATOR CONWAY: e-baord, you guys are doing a good job. cross walk, great accomplishment. It's not what you're doing it's the way you are going about doing it. If you guys tell us you're messing up this and this and this and this, then.. .there were times you weren't paying attention to directors and stuff, laughing.. .it's good to see everybody. Like the hoodies. SENATOR TEMPLETON: before I became a senator I was constituent and when I became a representative for my constituents..., I appreciate you guys trying to save money for our constituents. I can see why VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE ANDERSON and SENATOR KRISTA DONNELLY correspond, I've seen them correspond on the third floor... If you intend for me to work on the board I intend to do that. I emailed you my ideas and have not received a response. If you wish to contact me e-mail me. You can find me at fist year programs. SENATOR DEARMAS: please please at voter registration, I can't stress enough how important it is. with the whole situation with Ea and stuff, I'm not attacking eboard, I'm just asking because I'm new. We should give her all the help that she needs. SENATOR CAZARES: welcome back everyone. I work during the day so I like the calendar. Adrien and I met with the dean of engineering last week and we're putting together engineering student council. We're goin to try a lot harder this year. We are going to try and establish more of an active CSUN engineering rule. SENATOR CRAWFORD: Do you know how we can get in contact with Lisa? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: call Jesse. SENATOR HUERTA: if anyone had class today, I hope they were good. Mine sucked. Schuck, I'm still waiting for email on dept of i.t. Have a good two weeks. SENATOR MAYER: SENATOR BOWERS: gonna talk to you about poker tournament. I want to address my attendance over the summer. It's because of my 15 job. I have three clients and I have to operate on their schedule, not mine. Just wanted to clear that up for everyboedy. Judge Perry.... If you live in those areas, primary next tuesday. Thank you for your patience with me over the summer. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: I'm glad to see you're back. I'd like to point out SENATOR TEMPLETON's apparel today. I like it. I like SENATOR CAZARES's apparel today, too. I'd like to remind everyone 9/18 8s first home game. There will be tailgates. Prelaw fraternity would like to put out offer that we will be doing open rush within next two weeks. Would like to address job of eboard. The eboard and especially Shcuck has done an amazing job. Perhaps we need to start having a little moreleniency towards the eboard. For VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ also, it can't be easy for anyone to write up a fellow employee who is probably their friend. And to bring them in front of senate? Don't think they're doing it to be mean. Mike, I think I made a little shpeel about his performace, in the past month I have seen him a lot more. He's alos doing a much better job Communicatin with you and myself and I know Eric's working on picture board. Finally, with the lab thing that I did that I was working on controlling myself, so help me out and I'l tyr to mellow out my tone. Move to adjourn SENATOR ESPINOZA 2nds Motion PASSES unanimously XIV.
