BILL HISTORY
The initial $5,000 transfer of student fees from Executive Council to Local Schools
Council was enacted to support small groups and to keep these small groups from
backlogging Executive Council Agendas, but instead of expressly funding small
groups seeking monetary aid, the $5,000 has been used to double-fund large groups.
The transfer was not composed of directly allocated student fees, but of student
fees allocated to the Executive Council, so in double funding student groups by
referring them to both of the respective councils, we as a student union of
representatives are advocating and participating in a redundancy that only serves
to confuse and mislead the students we represent.
Preventing double funding would reflect the sound judgement and mature
responsibility in spending of student fee monies, as advocated by the Student Fee
Guidelines.
BILL SUMMARY
This Bill prevents the double funding of any item presented before both of the
Executive and Local Schools Councils until such time that Local Schools Council
receives direct aHoca tions of mandatory student fees from the students.
BE IT ENACTED by the Executive Council of the University of Colorado Student
Union, THAT:

.?;~-~~.~

SECTION 1:

Student Groups or Local Service Organizations requesting
funds from Executive Council shall not be referred to Local
Schools Council in the event that total funding is not obtained.
Funding for an event shall not be funded by the Executive
Council if they also receive or will receive funding from the
Local Schools Council for the same event.

SECTION 2:

If a student group or local services organization,
.
notwithstanding these provisions, receives additional funding
from Loca:l Schools Council, it will be the responsibility of the
Finance Director to stop disbursement of all funds allocated
by the Executive Council •
