Amendment 1 to Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Appropriations Bill
________________________________________
Amendment History
This amendment provides a 2% increase in hourly wages to Program Council employees for a total amount $2125.  Furthermore, it provides a 3.5% increase in Program Councils operating budget.  This would equate to a total operating increase of $4,927. The increase in wages would help Program Council remain a competitive employer on campus, resulting in less turnover of employees. The decreased turnover would enable Program Council to function more efficiently as well due to the fact that we would not have to constantly be re-hiring and re-training employees.  The increase in the operating expenses is due to the increased cost of putting on large-scale events of our nature. The price of talent, large equipment and venue rentals all increased.  The total increase in Program Councils budget through this amendment would equate to, $7052.00 to increase wages and programming.
