The Associated Students received an additional $46,000 for this year\u2019s budget.\u00a0 The augmented budget was voted in on Oct. 17.<\/p>\n
The AS\u2019s annual budget is usually roughly $100,000.\u00a0 Last year, the AS was under its full spending target, leaving a remainder of $46,000 in the account.<\/p>\n
This year, the AS has \u201crolled over\u201d the remainder of the previous balance, making the current account balance $143,550.<\/p>\n
The augmented spending did not follow the typical spending break down.<\/p>\n
The Foster Youth Scholarship and the ASB Scholarship accounts are traditionally allocated a combined 10 percent of the annual budget, but neither received an increase.<\/p>\n
The plan does include an additional $5,000 to the travel expenses account, $5,000 in the student government account, $5,000 in the activity expenses account, and another $5,000 to be added to the Activities-Other account.<\/p>\n
The book voucher program will also get an extra $5,000, a Go-Printer will be added to the cyber caf\u00e9 and $9,863 will be allocated to foundational reserves.<\/p>\n
An original proposal included the addition of part-time staff to aid Associated Students government\u00a0 adviser Jennifer Sweeney, but that proposal, which would have cost $21,137 if implemented, was not approved.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
