Amount to be encumbered from the CSUN FY 04 Elections (General Elections) budget. As submitted by Senator Mullinax and Senate President Pro Tempore Cianci on behalf of former Director Evans. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI moves to approve SENATOR FLINNER seconds motion to approve VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: We gave every director a raise. This is not back pay. It might be merit pay. SENATOR MULLINAX: Question? How much were you paid? LAURIE EVANS: 150 less than every other director. Just want the same pay as every other director. I did just as much or more. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: The reason I submitted it is because former Vice President Christiansen recommended it. Elections board is the most difficult or more of all the director positions. PRESIDENT SCHUCK: Directors all make different pay. SENATOR MULLINAX: Do you have merit pay? SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: No. There's no established way to award merit pay. SENATOR MULLINAX: (to LAURIE EVANS) You got screwed. You got what you were supposed to get. I don't see how we can legally give you money you're not owed. SENATOR SUMNER: If a boss recommends an employee get money, they should get money. SENATOR JIMENEZ: Can we do a bonus? PRESIDENT SCHUCK: Merit is another word for bonus. SENATOR JIMENEZ: She deserves the money but I agree with SENATOR MULLINAX. BUSINESS MANAGER DAVE HILL: It'd be a bonus because she already got paid for her services. 13 VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE: There is no basis for merit pay at all. I put forth the bill to abolish it. You know your pay going in to it. SENATOR DONNELLY: I yield the floor to Laurie Evans. LAURIE EVANS: I did bring it up. I asked Christiansen. He said the previous director did a bad job. Let's see you prove otherwise and we'll discuss at the end. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: Argument that there's no basis is false. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: We gave every director a raise last year. SENATOR CAZARES: Question for SENATOR CORPUZ-would it be fiscally wise to give her the money? SENATOR CORPUZ: I don't know. I'm just the chair. LAURIE EVANS: I know I came in with my budget, but every director is for this. Director Long and I were the only directors that didn't have jobs outside because our positions were the most time consuming. SENATOR CAZARES: SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA, what do you think? ( SENATE PRESIDENT AMESQUITA: Last year it was approved and everyone saw it on paper and no one said anything then. SENATOR FLINNER moves to amend by striking back-pay and inserting merit pay. SENATOR MULLINAX seconds the motion to amend Amendment PASSES 12-1-1 SENATOR FRIEDLIEB opposes. SENATOR CAZARES abstains SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE CIANCI: Isn't the $1033.75 in action item d merit pay, then? VICE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE ANDERSON: Those are actual contracts with bills. If we don't pay those, we default and lose credibility. At my other job, they're not going to pay me a couple extra dollars per hour because I worked harder. SENATOR CONWAY: If her former boss thinks she deserves it, then she deserves it. SENATOR DONNELLY: I yield to Laurie Evans 14 LAURIE EVANS: If I worked less during slow months, then you wouldn't have had elections. SENATOR DONNELLY: We amended it to say merit pay. SENATOR FLINNER: I call to question. SENATOR LEE: seconds Call to question fails. SENATOR FRIEDLIEB: We're not a corporation. We're a service to the students. Don't make those comparisons. VICE PRESIDENT GOATZ: Look at the evaluations. SENATOR CONWAY: I yield to Laurie Evans. LAURIE EVANS: Vice President Christiansen did my evaluations. Action Item H PASSES 11-0-3 SENATOR ESPINOZA, SENATOR FRIEDLIEB and SENATOR HUERTA abstain. SENATOR SEAN HOLMQUIST arrives at 5:48pm I. Action Item: Approval of the CSUN 2702 FY 05 budget.
