Karen Eckert stated that CSUN's overall budget includes $305,000 in student fees and $107,000 in generated revenue. Initially, CSUN had $305,000 of which $122,000 was put into the general account, $51,000 was put into KUNV Operations and $29,000 was put into Yell Operations. This leaves CSUN $103,000 to distribute to the other accounts which are Organizations Board, Entertainment and Programming, Student Services, Publications Board, Contingency, Intra-murals, Nevada Student Affairs and Professional Programming Department. The senate has already approved $27,438 of that $10.3,000 for Nevada Student Affairs. That leaves approximately $77,000 for all of the other accounts. We have $107,000 in generated revenue $30,0.00 of which was given to KUNV, $26,000 which was given to the Yell which leaves $51,000 in generated revenue. Chairman Eckert drew a chart of the budget as- it stands now: 900 - $ 4,000 90.1 - $55,000 902 - $ 300 903 - $11,000, 904 - $ 8,0.00 905 - $ 4,000 906 - $ 5,000 907 - $ 3,000 908 - $ 4,00 0 911 - $ 700 9.12 - 0 Most of the money lies in the KUNV account for the moving of the transmitter. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #36 26 JULY 19 8 3 PAGE. 10 Senator Glasgow left the meeting at 5:20 p.m. Jim Fitchet stated that $42,000 of KUNV's budget is earmarked to move the transmitter. Senator Mounts suggested that money be taken from KUNV's account to fund other departments which may need trans-fers . Senator Eglet suggested that the Senate get the overall picture of the budget before taking money out of individual accounts. Karen Eckert stated that CSUN has $30:5,0,00.. in student fees and $10 7,000. in generated revenue. The Senate has already approved $275,000 for NSA leaving $77,500 in student fees. Entertainment and Programming has requested $79,350 for one semester. Larry Hamilton, last year's E & P Chair-man stated that he received $35,000 in student fees. Senate President Clay stated that the E & P budget pro-posal is not considered all student fees. In speaking with the E & P Chairman, she has found that he is pro-jecting at least $20,000 in revenue from each $10,000 concert. Eckert stated that Student Services needs $75,000 to operate for the whole year(until June 31). The Professional Programming Department has requested $41,500 for the entire year. Intramurals is requesting $16,000 in student fees and $4,000 in carryover. Organizations Board received $8,800 last year. The board passed a formal request in their minutes request-ing $15,000 for this year. According to Karen Eckert, CSUN has about $10,000 to consider for Organizations Board. Senate President Clay stated that the Senate did approve the minutes of the Organizations Board meeting in which they requested $15,000. The Yell has been funded $55,00 0 this year when the news-paper spent over $60,000 last year. The Yell usually has cash flow problems. There are approximately $30,000 in stipends for next year, $16,000 of which must be taken from the general account. Chairman Eckert stated that approximately $12,096 in fee waivers will be necessary. She has budgeted the general account for a good deal of money, but the account may need more funding. Chairman Eckert strongly suggested that the Senate con^ sider funding contingency generously so CSUN may have money to fall back on for emergency purposes-. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #36 26 JULY 19 83 PAGE li According to Fitchet, CSUN is only restricted by budgetary authority. The organization can spend any cash in the budget. Chairman Eckert feels that Student Services and Entertain-ment and Programming are CSUN's largest revenue generators. If these accounts are not funded as much as possible, then this organization will not have the funds necessary to continue programs. She requests input on the budget and must know where CSUN's priorities are. Senator Pasquantino stated that Senate Bill 010 should give rough priorities for the salaries, but Chairman Eckert should meet with individual Senators about the budget. VIII. Old Business A.

Senator Pasquantino moved to approve the submission of Senate Bill 016, and Senator Jackson seconded. Senator Mounts suggested that the item be placed on the agenda with the intention that amendments may be added. This suggestion was accepted as a friendly amendment. Senate President Clay pointed out that legally this bill would not effect the Senate Session 13 or the Executive Board present-ly serving. Senator Pettit left the meeting at 6:00 p.m. Senator Eglet added a friendly amendment to delete the word "both" in section VII and insert the word "either." The motion to approve the submission of Senate Bill 016 with possible amendments passed with all in favor. E. Approval of Travel - Shaffer This item was withdrawn. F. Senate Directive to the Executive Board - Eglet Eglet moved that the Senate direct the Executive Board to require all full time clerical staff that CSUN hires to maintain office hours from Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. allowing for a one hour lunch break to be taken between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. each day. The clerical staff must clock out for lunch breaks and will be allowed to clock out for classes. Senator Mounts seconded the motion. President Lee asked why the Senate was directing the Executive Board to set policy for clerical staff. Accord-to the Constitution, the President is the chief administrator for CSUN. The administration should know better as to when secretaries can leave the office. Senator Mounts stated that as long as the staff was not being paid to attend the Senate Meetings then it would be okay. Senator Mounts withdrew his second to the directive. Senator Corrales seconded the motion to direct the Executive Board. Senator Briggs left the meeting at 6:11 p.m. Senator Eglet objected to the withdrawal of Mounts' second. The motion to consider the directive passed with 10 in favor, and 1 opposed(Long). Senator Eglet stated that in other offices there was not much leeway for secretaries. If an employee works full-time then they should take their lunches during those times. Senator Glasgow stated that when she left during discussion there was no one downstairs in the office and the door was unlocked. MINUTES SENATE MEETING #36 26 JULY 19 8 3 PAGE. 10 Vice President Shaffer questioned her as to when she went downstairs and stated that the office is closed at 5:00 p.m. and the Student Union assumes responsi-bility for locking all doors in the Moyer Student Union. Vice President Shaffer disagreed with the restriction placed on when the secretaries can take their lunch hours, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. are the office's busiest hours and if the secretaries do not take their lunch break during those hours, they should be allowed to go at another time. If the secretaries can better serve the students by being in the office during those hours theree then there is no reason to require them to leave the office for lunch. President Lee added that the reason why two receptionists were hired was to allow for coverage in the office. There is a receptionist working the front desk from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Senator Lescano moved the previous question, and Senator Eglet seconded. The motion passed with all in favor. The motion to direct the Executive Board to require all full time clerical staff that CSUN hires to maintain office hours from Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. allow-ing for a one hour lunch break to be taken between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. each day arid clerical staff must clock out for lunch breaks and will be allowed to clock out for classes passed with 9 in favor, 0 opposed and 2 abstaining(Long,
