  • Freddie moves to finance the ESLA request in the amount of $800.00 per the finance committee recommendation.

Discussion on motion-

  • Brendan Heil moves to fund in full

We will communicate to them that a future funding request maynot be funded in full and should be discounted by their own fundraising. This is with the idea in mind that they haven’t had the opportunity to fundraise for this event because it is at the beginning of the year.
