Long Range Plans:

Hiring: hiring packet is available. Who wants to sit on the interview committee. Freeman, Mohammed-Zakir, and Kelley are interested.
Reports:
Lovelace: Refamiliarized with legislation process.
Freeman: talked to Andre about unrelated matters.
Mohammed-Zakir: looked over bylaws over break.
Pascual: nothing ASUCD related.
Hsu: looked over bylaws.
Martin: got trained by Sergio today, prepared to become IAC Chair throughout the break.
Freeman: Motion to move into consideration of Legislation: Senate Bill 28
Pascual: Seconds the motion.
Author’s Comments:
Cano: addressed a lot of Joey’s concerns (too direct). Backtracked changes that were not officially modified. Removed things that were opposed by another commission chair. There should be no problem with this bill. It’s essentially the same bill IAC passed and BFC passed and Senate saw previously. Yield.
Questions in Text:
Cano: Author should be in capital letters.
Public Discussion:
Hsu: Line 44: delete the word ‘all’ and replace with the word ‘each’
57: delete ‘on’ and replace it with ‘by’
90: replace ‘they’ with ‘he/she’
30: replace ‘may’ with ‘does not’
31: ‘at their own discretion’ add a period after ‘reallocation’
-dropped line 30
38: change comma to semi-colon; add a comma after ‘thus’
159: period after 2017.
187: after ‘open’ add semi-colon
193: after ‘member’ add of the ASUCD Senate
194: replace ‘their’ with ‘his/her’
MoZa: indent line 40.
Pascual: really good bill; glad it was rewritten; remembers reading it before and how unclear it was; counterargument could be it could be seen as increasing bureasucracies.
Cano: agrees with Pascual’s sentiments; when attended budget hearings, new ppl didn’t understand new procedures (new Senate, etc.); some of the new things added are from 180 and beyond (rest of the things were language things); concern for line 130 – the meaning changes (referring to Hsu’s question in text); something that might come up at the Senate meetings – line 196: because some chairs believe they should be members of the public throughout the entire hearing à this allows some speaking power to chairs.
Freeman: For section (line 196): want to allow them to speak when something they can contribute as a part of the commission, or give them the full allowance of speaking (even if it doesn’t pertain to them).
Line 193: add ‘individual budget’
Yield.
Hsu: Line 193: read – ‘budget in question’ or ‘budget in consideration’ à allowed Moza and Lovelace to speak
Cano: ‘in consideration’ works
MoZa: Sounds like adding ‘inconsideration’ is redundant.
Lovelace: flip-flop the clauses around.
Hsu: on second glance, it looks fine as is.
130: doesn’t really sound like the condition is being met.
Cano: it’s like calling the bill to question offsets the bill motions.
Hsu: do you want to just change it to ‘consideration to close the budget’
Cano: I’ll think of something for the second part.
Hsu: yield.
Martin: line 131 – should be a period at the end; yield.
Freeman: Cano – mentioned before about going into Senate discussion – is there any required rule about when they can do that?
Cano: there is a specific reason I put that language, because it locks them in for every single budget.
Freeman: happen to be members of the public there, is there any barrier to stop Senate discussion to happen right away?
Cano: No, but Senators are usually sympathetic to members of the public.
Martin: Motion to move into Commission Discussion.
Moza: Second the motion
Freeman: called this bill into question.
Hsu: Cano might want to say more about it.
Freeman: Withdrew the motion.
Cano: Has nothing more to say about it.
Freeman: Motion to call this bill into consideration.
MoZa: Second.
No objections. Bill is passed.
MoZa: Motion to move into consideration of Bill 30.
Hsu: Second.
Martin: Author’s Comments.
Cano: includes bridge for interaction between CFC and ASUCD to coordinate their sets of rules; they have not amended them for almost 7 years now. Have been increasing their club allocations (should have amended it); IAC Chair would have a meeting with CFC to introduce new Chair (more direct connection with student government as a whole). Trying to bridge the gap between IAC and CFC.
Questions in Text:
Moza: Line 3- ‘allocate’ instead of ‘allocation.’ Yield.
Abergel: Line 9: change to ‘one of these amendments includes…’
Line 58: strike ‘of the Club Finance Council’, add commas.
Line 59: ‘they’ specify that it is referring to ‘the amendments’
Yield.
Hsu: ‘which’ refers to ‘one’
Line 22: ‘consist’ should read ‘consistent
Line 29: add vice ‘person’
37: do not capitalize ‘administer’
40: add ‘that’ before ‘the’
23, 48, 60, 55: replace ‘statues’ with ‘statutes’
Freeman: sentence beginning on line 5 – would be clearer to take away the semi-colon and add a comma and instead of ‘unfortunately’ add ‘however’
Line 30: sentence is confusing. Yield.
Lovelace: Authors name should be capitalized. Yield.
Public Discussion:
Cano: addressing Freeman’s concerns, line 30 does not make sense; needs to be changed.
Freeman: ‘as decided by a majority vote by the entire committee.’
Cano: Yield.
Kelley: Line 30: if put a comma after ‘entire committee’ the original sentence would make sense.
Freeman: If we change ‘select’ to ‘voting’ it would change.
Kelley: amends ‘select’ to ‘including’. Yield.
Maemora: Line 22: two ‘consistants’
Cano: Strike the first ‘consistent’
Pascual: Is there any money allocated from ASUCD to CFC?
Cano: Yes, $0.45 per student (equivalent to $80,000)
Pascual: Yield.
Freeman: change line 7 to ‘began to decide its members…’ (strike ‘was forced’)
Hsu: may have been reading line 31 incorrectly.
Abergel: ‘interview committee consists of…’
Hsu: Do exactly what Abergel said but add ‘shall’. Yield.
Abergel: When was this presented to Senate?
Cano: Last Senate meeting.
Abergel: change date. Yield.
MoZa: Line 31 – we’re misunderstanding it; they are listing the members.
Cano: Comma on line 30.
MoZa: Yield.
Cano: Author’s amendment to make the changes.
Freeman: Abergel’s ‘period’ placement was clearer than Cano’s amendment.
Abergel: Sentence was telling you who is in the interviewing committee.
Cano: takes Abergel’s amendment. Yield.
Pascual: Motion to move into commission discussion.
Hsu: Second.
Commission Discussion
Pascual: motion to call this bill into question.
MoZa: Second.

Hsu: Motion to adjourn.
