IV. New Business
Ms. Alicandro reminded members of the importance of filing the proper documentation. Mr. Gigliotti suggested that repercussions be implemented for those clubs who do not file the necessary paperwork and who do not attend media board meeting. Ms. Alicandro suggested that in the event that a club fails to submit proper documentation and/or is not consistently represented at media board meetings that their accounts be frozen
Motion: Motion: (Tercyak-Morgan /Bishop) To resolve up to date business affairs, being delinquent of this will result in freezing of accounts.
Motion Passed (8 Yes, 0 No, 0 Abstained) (MB05-041)
Ms. Martin informed the board of the vacant and unlocked Recorder office. The office houses a great deal of recently purchased expensive equipment. As a result of the door being consistently unlocked, the possibility of theft in that office is great. Ms. Alicandro believes that the unlocked door is due to the laziness of Recorder members in updating their access list in accordance with members.
Ms. Barrieau announced that the final meeting for the semester is scheduled for Friday, December 2nd at 2:00p.m. in the Blue & White Room.
Meeting Adjourned at 2:53p.m.
