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.
