   6. Questions

      1.  

   7. Discussion

      1. The funding for food is based on the quote amount and not what is requested in BuffConnect 

      2. They need to have a conversation with EP&C regarding bringing in outside food. If they are seeking outside catering, they will need to go through the proper channels to bring in outside food or use university approved catering.

      3. They will still need to find a translator for their event - have they started on this?

      4. It is unclear what the banners are for. We do not know what is going on them or what the purpose is. Perhaps we wait to ask them more information before we vote for funding on this item.

   7. Questions

      1.  

   8. Discussion

      1. It is unclear who the quote for the performer came from. We should ask them for more information since we cannot determine if the quote we see is from VSA to the performer or from the performer to VSA. 

         1. If it is coming from VSA, they offered money that they didn’t have and they are also offering to give them even more. This is quite confusing. 

         2. Is it even a quote? Can they get a quote?

      2. They have two different quotes for microphones from both PC and EP&C - only funding microphones from PC unless they can make a good case as to why they need both from EP&C and PC

      3. We can’t fund the photobooth, so we will refer them to CSI. 

      4. They need to have a conversation with EP&C regarding bringing in outside food. If they are seeking outside catering, they will need to go through the proper channels to bring in outside food, use university approved catering, or get an exemption.

   9. Motion to approve $11,967.10 for VSA’s event, “VSA Culture Show.”

         2. Updates:

            1. 1. They can’t have real candles if that is what they were planning on. 

                  1. The candles look fake, so they are good to go. 

               2. Is the cutlery/cups biodegradable?

                  1. Even though the university doesn’t compost, it is still in our bylaws. 

                  2. Why is it under the decorations line item?

               3. Could the student orgs share decorations that they have previously been funded and aren’t currently using?

                  1. There has been no precedent set in the past about this. 

               4. We don’t fund balloons. 

               5. Can they get the table clothes from EP&C. 

               6. Total: $900.63 for decorations

                  1. If “balloon” was in the title, we didn’t fund it. 

                  2. The tablecloths were not funded. 

                  3. The plates, napkins, cutlery, and cups were not funded.

               2. New quote is for $638.97, so a $471.73 increase

                  1. Approved by Chair

            3. 1. One is a “save the date” and the other one would be an advertising flier. 

                  1. Save the date: They should move the CUSG logo to the bottom. 

               2. The flier (the one with the woman on it)

                  1. It is a little crowded, hard to read, a lot is going on

                  2. “CU” should be in caps

                  3. The color contrast isn’t great and should be fixed so it is easier to read in general

               3. The “save the date” flier is approved and the flier should be sent back in for reapproval.
