BILL HISTORY
Because Representative Council and the Council of Colleges and Schools spend on
the average $20,000 in student monies each year, and beacuse as student leaders
the representatives are responsible for these expenditures to the student body, it is
imperative that a better system of accountability be implemented. In the past, the
only record of Council of Colleges and Schools meetings have been tape recordings,
which have proven difficult to decipher when the validity of decisions in meetings
have been questioned. To remedy this situation, this bill provides a secretary for
both Council of Colleges and Schools and Representative Council, to attend and
take notes at the meetings and produce weekly minutes. Each secretary will be
paid $4.00/hr. for 3 hours of work ea. week (lhr. for the meeting, 2hrs to complete
the minutes). For 14 meetings a semester this amounts to: 14 meetings a semester
x 3hrs. work for each meeting x $4.00/hr. x 2 secretaries = $336.00 a semester.
This makes a total of $720.00 for the 89/90 academic year, and for two meetings in
the 1990 summer semester ($336/sem. x 2 + $48 for 2 summer meetings= $720).

This bill also calls for the jobs of Representative Council secretary and Council of
Colleges and Schools secretary to become part of UCSU operation costs beginning
in the next budget cycle.
The secretaries will be hired & primarily responsible to their respective councils'
chairs.
BILL SUMMARY
This bill allocates $720.00 to fund a Representative Council Secretary and a
Council of Colleges and Schools secretary for the 89/90 academic year, and the
summer semester, up until the time that the next budget cycle begins. It lays out
the responsibilities of the secretaries, and provides for their incorporation into
UCSU operations beginning with the next budget cycle.
