ii. Adam: I, Adam, student of UC Davis in good academic

standing promise to abide by ASUCD guidelines of

ethics, promote the welfares and interest of the

members of asucd, enact rules and procedures

necessary and proper for the efficient operation of

ASUCD in consistency with the ASUCD constitution

and carry out and faithfully execute the duties

enumerated in the ASUCD constitution and ASUCD

bylaws at all times during my term as a voting member

of the ASUCD senate

III. Public Announcements: Nishi Project – 6:19

i. Presenter: I am here on behalf of nishi gateway project.

Most of you all voted on it. I have flyers so if you want

one to utilize and pass on to your friends, please ask

and ill bring this around. All of you should be

registered to vote in Davis so if you could put your

email down that would be helpful. This is so we can

keep you updated on the project. We can respond that

way. I wanted to come here to make an announcement

because ASUCD has supported our project but there

have not been a lot of ASUCD members involved and

that is troubling to hear. As student government, we

have a lot of networks that we get to interact with and

are really important for us. If we don’t utilize them, it is

no good. If you all have not reached out to constituency

to inform them about housing crisis. It’s never too late.

I’m not going to say you failed. It happens to the best of

us. I’m asking you all to get involved. We have a lot of

different ways you can. You can publicly endorse our

project. We need physical support. We need you

convincing your friends why they need to care. A

majority of students aren’t registered to vote. This

impacts them and they don’t understand how they can

make a difference. They only think about academics

and you all think in a different way. You all care about

the university and fellow students. Please put your

name down and we will contact you to come to our

information nights every Friday at 6 pm. We will

provide you with all the training you need. You all have

led campaigns so you’re already good at that. If you

have questions, ill be here for a few minutes and

Parteek has my contact information he can provide for

you all. I appreciate your time. Thank you and again,

we really need your support. June 7th is the vote. We

will be out tabling next week so we need you all there.

ii. Dahliwal: can you bullet point what this is exactly? I

want to sign the petition but what exactly is it?

iii. Presenter: It is a proposed innovation park. It’s called

measure A because it’s in support. It’s a project

between the university and downtown. It’s an empty

plot of lot so private developers want to develop o this

land and build housing. We have a .2% vacancy rate.

It’s a crisis. We already have the 2020 initiative with

5000 new students coming in. the university isn’t doing

anything about the housing crisis. 85% of energy on site

will be produced through solar energy. It will provide

1500-1800 jobs. It’s a place for small business and

companies to build up here. 13/15 companies that

started here ended up leaving because they didn’t have

the space to grow.

iv. Nazzal: so external affairs is working a statement to

support this but we don’t really have any numbers

v. Presenter: Do you mind putting your email? I can give

you statistics here also yesona.org is our website and

you can find great information there.

vi. Jamaludin: I support this project and I want to note

there are others that don’t support this project. I

recommend you reach out to those people and talk to

them. I recommend you talk to the unit director of CCE

and ask about her support.

vii. Dalavai: so there is an active no campaign throughout

the city. Could you refute or address their concerns?

viii. Presenter: The no campaign started much later than the

yes campaign. This project has been in development for

10 years. They went in and they know a lot of people.

What are things that really need improvement? And one

of those is public infrastructure and traffic on the

Richards corridor. They’re not attacking those points.

The one thing they bring up s unaffordable housing and

as someone who has worked with low-income first

generation students I understand that concern. Based on

my research and trusted others, it is factually incorrect.

They are predicting the prices of infrastructure that has

not yet been built. So the construction won’t happen

until all public infrastructures have been built. Because

that’s the area in most need of funding, they are not

going to build residential components until after all of

that is complete. It is about what Davis needs the most

and how we can address those. If it was about

capitalizing on the income then they would build that

first but that’s actually the last thing that is going to be

built. If you don’t understand I can clarify more

ix. Molodonaf: what is the range of housing? Can you

explain what is expensive housing?

x. Presenter: Anytime you build something you can’t say

how much it’s going to cost when you haven’t even

made a contract with developers or know what the

economic outlook will be in that moment. To say

something will be unaffordable it is an early assessment

not premised on anything.

xi. Wolansky: I live on that street. I think it’s really good

you build after you expand housing and Richards

already has five stops so it takes 30 minutes to get back.

Thank you for addressing those points. What is the

target audience for these new housing apartments? Low

end? High end?

xii. Presenter: So right now the target audience is

residential and student housing components. The targets

are students. The reason being because majority of

students can’t afford to buy their own home. The for

rent units because of close proximity to students and

downtown it is attractive. The residential housing is

appealing to people who work in these companies as

well as university professors or employees or others

interested leaving in this innovation area

xiii. Savage: I was curious as to interns in particular is it

horizontal or pyramidal structure?

xiv. Presenter: I’m not really the person to talk to about the

infrastructure necessarily. Basically, its not a sprawling

innovation it is infield

xv. Savage: I meant interns, is there a point person to talk

to? I know someone came to EAC and a few people

perhaps don’t know each other or communicate. Are

you the leader?

xvi. Presenter: I’m not the lead person on the project. I am

one of the organizers. Ill write it down and get back to

you. I don’t know what pyramidal or horizontal means

xvii. Savage: do you have a headquarters?

xviii. Presenter: Essentially how the structure goes we have

the project developers and below are the executive

team. I work at management consulting firm and we

organize through the sustainability pack. Below the

team would be the managers and below that… is that

what you mean?

xix. Savage: Whom do we speak to to get involved with

campaign?

xx. Presenter: That’s what the paper with the emails is for.

Someone in office will reach out to you.

xxi. Savage: in terms of getting people to meetings whom

will you want?

xxii. Presenter: Anyone that you want. They don’t have to

know about the project, anyone can come.

xxiii. Savage: where?

xxiv. Presenter: Olive drive 620 if I believe. If you Google

Safford and Lincoln that is the office.

xxv. Savage: I was just asking because what might be better

than asucd because there is an active a no campaign.

Some people on this table might not even agree. The

office of advocacy, a branch of asucd, there’s an active

campaign for affordable housing and they deal with that

a lot. If you have a lead intern, getting them into those

meetings and talking to Sam alavi might be a good idea.

That’s been more active on other uc campuses and I

think this is definitely a good solution they’d definitely

want to help

xxvi. Presenter: Yeah I know Sam. That wont be a problem.

The developers provided 1.2 million to the city bank for

affordable housing to allocate to people in the form of

waivers.

Public Announcements – 6:38

i. Daniel: we are here on behalf of OASR to give you a

general announcement. We are having a get out the vote

event. A lot of students aren’t registered to vote. May

23rd is the last day to vote. Next week we will have

some fun events

ii. Student: we wanted to do it Mon-Friday but there is

something going on Friday so it will lend Thursday.

Voting is important, 8% of millennial voted last

election cycle. So about 2000 out of 30000 voted in uc

Davis. If we are able to grow to 30%, which is possible,

we can decide things like who our mayor and council

are. We can make a significant impact. Once we build

that impact legislators and candidates will take students

and student priorities a lot more seriously and that’s

kind of the main reason why we are trying to put out

this get out the vote week to make it socially acceptable

to vote. Everybody should be registered to vote.

Everybody should go out and register and go out and

vote.

iii. Daniel: With that, we want to dedicate a week to letting

people come out and register the easiest way possible.

Throughout the week we are having events and we are

still in the planning to how people can get out and

engaged. We have a few things lined up like pie a

politician. We are getting a Donald trump mask and you

can pie it for a $1. Yesterday I was at the lobby corps

meeting and a present thought of bringing in a goat,

don’t be a goat and bring out the vote. It gets people

interested. Its just little things like that that will bring

students out. With that being said a lot of times we only

have so many people we can reach out to but really the

group on campus with the most power to reach out to

the student population is ASUCD with that being said

we really want ASUCD to come out on board with us.

We got CAL perk, Davis students for Bernie sanders.

Regardless of whom you will vote for, you should vote.

Everybody should be on board. ASUCD is that cherry

on top that will make this actually work and happen. I

really hope we can figure something out to make this

successful. We had a representative come in and teach

us how to register other students. Fun fact, if you aren’t

registered in your current city there is a 30% chance

your vote doesn’t count

iv. Savage: basically you’re given a temporary ballot in

this county and some don’t get counted. So it’s

important to register where you live currently

v. Daniel: a lot of students say they are registered back

home but they need to be registered here. Primary is

during finals. Fun events next week will be Ping-Pong

food, hopefully some type of debate, which will be fun

and exciting.

vi. Student: we do have a meeting with the other clubs

forming this coalition. I know you have this meeting

but if you have a staff you can send to take notes. We

can send the information over as well.

vii. Jamaludin: please use gender-neutral terms. And when

is that meeting?

viii. Student: today at 8 in AMC it is a coalition meeting

ix. Savage: the meeting tonight is for the planned events

next week so people in lobby corps will be taking notes

which I can send to all of you. There is a record on a

UC wide level and in terms of last election we

registered 52000 on a UC level and showing that to

legislators we saw a significant increase in them

agreeing to hold meetings with us. It allows student

voices to be heard in those lobby visits so it is really

important. All of the details will be fine tuned tonight.

It is not an OASR meeting. It’s planned by a group of

organizations trying to encourage people to vote as a

whole. Its not just one person spearheading this. If

anyone is interested and would like to table, it is an

option as well. I think overall it’s trying to encourage

voter registration.

x. DeAngelo: is this campaign specifically any candidate

running for office? Any affiliation?

xi. Student: we did come up with the event. We decided in

order for it to be impactful we should bring everybody

on

xii. DeAngelo: who is financing? As asucd we can be

involved in any form of political campaign. Lines can

be blurred and we have gotten in trouble in the past

xiii. DeAngelo: what is the debate going to be like?

xiv. Daniel: our idea was just to invite students of different

political views to engage in debate. We have two-

minute sessions per person. We would come up with a

set of questions and let them debate

xv. DeAngelo: I would encourage not doing that especially

if its through one of our units because I feel like it

would be in poor taste, potentially bias and wouldn’t

achieve anything. The rest sounds great, but that event

specifically would have a negative effect

xvi. Singh: is this happening at Coho or quad?

xvii. Daniel: trying to book MU patio but I will give more

detail after tonight meeting

xviii. Singh: is there Facebook event we can invite friends?

xix. Student: we are still trying to edit that but it is there

xx. Singh: I think debate might not be a good idea. I see a

negative impact on campus life

xxi. Student: that is definitely valid

xxii. Dhaliwal: can you state the dates?

xxiii. Student: Monday through Thursday this upcoming

week. The deadline to register is may 23rd which is why

its next week because Monday is the last day. We are

trying to make this last push to get students registered

xxiv. Dhaliwal: I’m having a campaign next week and I

booked the MU patio all of next week for the silver

ribbon campaign so I just wanted to let you know

xxv. Student: we did want the patio but right now we

reserved the quad

xxvi. Daniel: we looked last night and it said the patio was

free

xxvii. Molodanof: I think it’s actually a good idea to have the

debate. We were actually working with democrats to

have a debate. We have thought about doing it. I think

if its controlled in the right setting both parties were

down to do it. It could be good idea as long as it’s

controlled. It gives power to speech. I think there’s a

support in different parties. I know you’re hearing

negatives but there are positives. There was discussion

about one so yeah.

xxviii. Savage: I agree completely. It gets people hyped about

politics. As long as the signups are voluntary and they

can adequately prepare it is completely fair

xxix. Daniel: this isn’t an OASR event. We table so its

something we do already. It is in now way an OASR

event we are just helping them get the word out and

come up with ideas. It’s not an ASUCD event

Public Announcement

i. Nazzal: music on the green is next Friday. We are

going to have raffles and instagram contest. We are

4

iii. Nazzal: this is 3-6

Joyrun Announcement

i. Winston: joyrun is a delivery platform like uber for

food. We started at uc Davis and it helps students and

local clubs.

ii. Joyrun: We connect people that don’t have ability to get

into downtown and connect those buyers with the

businesses and create revenue. It’s also to help out

campus and community. Today we posted to go to

blaze and say you’re with tri delta to get donations for

st. judes. We can promote deals. We are trying to help

out community. We also have internships. You can

make money just by downloading and being a runner. I

went to McDonalds and have $25. Joyrun has 6000

downloads, all Davis students. Those users have

generates 40000 in income. We would like you guys to

download the app or if you want delivery for this

meeting you can do that as well

iii. Winston: yeah we did that with the last regime

iv. Joyrun: You can say you want a gallon of milk from

target that works too. We just don’t do alcohol.

v. Winston: boba, wing stop, anything you want we can

bring to your meetings

vi. Joyrun: We have 100 new users every week so we

would love for you to try it out

IV. Unit Director Report: Aggie Reuse Store – 6:59

i. Nicole: today I will be presenting our spring quarterly

reports. Starting off with picnic day it was our biggest

sale of the year. Last year we didn’t have the resources

to do everything we wanted to so this year we went all

out. We partnered with CCE to use space for a photo

booth. We had a clothing sale and made over $400 that

day alone. Here are other spring events we’ve been

doing. We partner with ASUCD and design department

and whole earth and CCE. We have been doing weekly

tabling and outreach. It’s been a very busy spring

quarter. We are saying yes to a lot of things and making

that final stretch before the end of the year.

a) Craft workshop – overflow seating, great turnout. We

will be having another one on the 20th

b) Cool Davis Climate Solution Award – first official

recognition from the community, also had news

coverage on California aggie and Davis enterprise

We have grown a lot since fall. A lot of interns this year are

returning and come next fall we hope to take on a lot more

staff. Here are sales events we’ve had this quarter. We are

having our dollar sale on the 20th 10-4 and aggie pride June 3rd

same time. Here’s an overview over our sales. Our profits last

year were $12 and this year we are expecting to meet $1000 in

profit; we are at about $800 right now. We send out an

anonymous form to view their experiences and learn where we

can adapt to fit their needs. It’s from various teams. Other

projects have been collaborating with creative media to

modernize our website. We will launch in the fall to kickoff the

school year. Our interns have been working really hard. The

link is on our Facebook page. Lastly, we gave been working on

management transitions for next year. We just finished hiring

our 2016-2017-management team. We expanded it into two to

put emphasis on sales to make even more money. We are

excited for next year. That concludes my report. I want to

thank you all for an amazing year it was very eventful for us.

ii. Lee: What was the profit after expenses?

iii. Nicole: this is the number after breaking even so we are

at 5200 in sales right now

iv. Lee: what are your most sellable items?

v. Nicole: scantrons and women’s clothing

vi. Martinez: any special projects for fall?

vii. Nicole: I’m leaving it up to new management but were

planning bigger sales and a lot more staff appreciation

events

viii. DeAngelo: how do you plan on keeping business

consistent considering construction next year?

ix. Nicole: move sales events outside of our store, utilizing

the quad, silo, MU I think tis an opportunity we haven’t

explored yet

x. Wolansky: really happy you all did the craft event. I

think you all are doing an excellent job.

V. Cal Aggie Camp Unit Director Report – 7:08

i. Sianne: I came in winter quarter. Cal aggie camp is

facing a lot of changes this year. I wanted to show you

a video of what it looks like. Undergrads don’t get to

experience so I wanted to show you a sneak peak of

what it actually looks like. We have alumni and

undergrad staff so half our counselors are alumni and

the other half are current undergraduates. We also have

a head cook who is the manager at whole foods. They

have taken us under the wing. We have 2 lifeguards and

2 medics. Camp is two weeks long. Week 1 is ages 5-

12. Week 2 is ages 13-16. Many come from low-

income communities or foster care. It is super

meaningful. A lot of them stick with us for ten years. It

impacts their lives because they come back year after

year. We do typical camp stuff. It’s a way to wake up

through swim. It’s also a way to get them to shower.

The trails are a way to get them to explore their

interests and see what they like. We do a college trail

where undergrads do a panel and give college tips. We

do nighttime activities as well. Progress this year we

made changes in how we do things. We have 8-person

head team before it was only 4. We have 3 internal

coordinators and we hired extra people to boost

presence on campus. We have 2 external outreach

members to reach out to target, Wal-Mart, etc. and we

have 2 fundraising coordinators, which is helpful this

year. Thus far we fundraised around $12,000. In the

past it was only 4-5 so its awesome that we’ve done this

much. We are only going to get better and stronger and

we know what focus our efforts on. We did a benefit

concert and recently got adopted by Greek beats. We

are thinking next year they can cosponsor an accapella

event with us. We have gotten donations from

businesses. We had swirls donate a portion of their

proceeds. We had a gala bringing of spring quarter in

Sacramento. We got high-end donations from hotels

and ski resorts. It was really successful. We had guest

speakers from old campers and ton of people from

community come. We’ve been partnering with other

units to create bigger presence on campus. We had an

article written about us on the Davis enterprise. This

quarter we haven’t done much fundraising because we

are planning the actual camp. We hired staff and did

training. We have 18 returning staff embers and 19 new

staff. Camp will be held on campus this summer.

Hopefully this will be the first and last time. We are

trying to figure out how to make it work. If you guys

are going to be here, you are welcome to sit in. we have

a visit day so let me know. The background check is

free now. This is what our budget has looked like in the

past and this is how it looks now. We get 50 cents a

quarter from every student. We got cut hence all the

fundraising. Having camp on cost has actually

increased our cost for renting out the rec pool and other

facilities. We are taking it as it comes. Our goals for

next year are to continue building our presence on

campus and alumni network. We want to pursue more

partnerships and donations just like whole foods. We

partnered three years ago and cut $8000 from food

costs. We want bigger and better fundraisers and new

sources of funding.

ii. Flores: is there a reason camp is on campus this year?

iii. Sianne: they have been giving audits on all the units.

There are a lot of changes so to make sure structure is

okay. Last year Presidium did an audit and made

recommendations on policy improvements. They

recommended we change a few policies so we are on

campus to implement those changes so off campus is

safer. It wasn’t our decision.

iv. Molodonaf: where was it before?

v. Sianne: it was at a campsite near Yosemite.

vi. Dhaliwal: on average how many students attend this

camp?

vii. Sianne: it depends how many we can afford its usually

60-70 but in the past it's been 100

viii. Dhaliwal: are they all foster youth?

ix. Sianne: a good majority are a part of foster system and

others are at risk youth

x. Dhaliwal: do they ever follow up to see how they’re

doing after the camp?

xi. Sianne: its a liability issue so we aren’t actually allowed

to. We all have camp names we cant have our real

names. But we do a reunion at the rec pool

xii. Dhaliwal: but it really helps them?

xiii. Sianne: they have such instability with them and with

these consistent people. They know the dance is going

to be Thursday it offers a safe environment for them to

share their stories with people in situations like them

xiv. Wolansky: how do foster youth find out about this?

xv. Sianne: we have student director do internal hiring and

the alumni director talks to social workers and things

like that. We also have our website. This year we

usually send applications in January but we just sent

applications 2 weeks ago. We have gotten hundreds of

emails.

xvi. Wolansky: how do you select those who attend?

xvii. Sianne: the alumni director usually does it. Its kind of

first come first serve. She takes whom she can take

xviii. Grewal: so has the number accepted expanded?

xix. Sianne: our subsidy has been cut this is the first year we

have done hardcore fundraising because we dealt with

such a big cut. We aren’t at the place to take more kids

but maybe next year.

xx. Grewal: do you have any ideas to do more activities

like throughout the year?

xxi. Sianne: we thought about working with guardian’s

scholars. She’s a part of guardian’s scholars and they

work with foster youth. We thought about partnering

with them. Its about when we can get things solidified

we can focus elsewhere

VI. Quab Elections – 7:30

i. Sandhu: Alex and I were in talks with the chancellor in

terms of having more asucd representation on quab to

advise chancellor on a myriad of issues. They meet on

biweekly basis. That body is now reporting to the acting

chancellor. Alex is one of our reps and then we will

pick one from senate. We will have all you decide

whom to appoint to that body.

ii. Singh: I nominate Sam Chiang

iii. Chiang: Yes I accept

iv. Lee: its dependent on your schedule so the time isn’t

constraining

v. Martinez: I nominate Dhaliwal

vi. Dhaliwal: I accept

vii. Savage: I nominate Dalavai

viii. Dalavai: no thank you

ix. Sandhu: Thirty-second speech

x. Chiang: I think either of us will be fine. Shai has

experience working with admin. Id like a change to

meet with a committee that actually meets

xi. Dhaliwal: its fine you can have it

VII. Consideration of Old Legislation – 7:32

A. SB 80 DeAngelo

To liquidate a Kirkland by Whirlpool refrigerator through

Aggie Surplus

i. DeAngelo: this is chapter 7 in ASUCD’s history. We

are selling a refrigerator through aggie surplus.

ii. Flores: no problem with it

iii. Heifetz: no problem

Public Discussion

iv. Chiang: because we know aggie surplus doesn’t

generate most revenue is there any other way to

relocate to another unit where it is more useful?

v. DeAngelo; there are health mandates that it be cleaned.

It requires government interference when transferring.

We have to sell it.

vi. Dalavai: how much do we make? Is it like the last one

we liquidated?

vii. DeAngelo: I’m not in the market of pricing but I

assume we get 100 or 150. If it sells for under 75 we

don’t get anything with aggie surplus. The retail price is

400 but I don’t know the current value of a used one it

would go back to capital reserves.

viii. Dalavai: is it full sized

ix. DeAngelo: yeah it’s very large

x. Dalavai: can I buy it?

xi. DeAngelo; you can once it gets there.

Senate Discussion

xii. Chiang: can we put it in pantry reserve?

xiii. DeAngelo: we could but it went to capital because it

was purchased through there. It wouldn’t make sense

not to, I don’t care I was just thinking since it wasp

purchased out of capital reserves that’s where it should

go back to. I’m not sure if pantry has access to their

reserves. We can put it into senate reserves I mean…

xiv. Sandhu: I think Joe hit the point since we bought it

through capital reserves it should go back to capital

reserves

Bill passes

B. SB 81 Martinez

Allocate $260 from Senate Reserves to SPEAK for the cost

incurred by the Family Day Conference – event for the

Undocumented Students and Allies Awareness Week

i. Martinez: SPEAK club on campus is having awareness

week this week and on Saturday is the family day

conference. They will be taking students from

undocumented community to cover traveling costs for

their family.

ii. Carolina: I’m a member of SPEAK and co chair for the

week. I’m going to talk about what we will use funds

for. The conference itself is where our members invite

their families to see what we do as students and

members of speak. We are asking for 260 to help us

complete the difference for the total of 510 to cover

travel costs. We are accepting 12 families to attend.

They are mostly coming from bay area or southern

California. We are seeking help from funds because we

want to provide relief to our families to attend. It’s hard

because they don’t usually have financial means to do

so. By providing travel reimbursements, we are

removing that obstacle and encouraging them to attend.

We have received a grant but are looking for remaining

cost.

iii. Martinez: they are only asking for the money they need.

They could have asked for more and didn’t

iv. Flores: how the families were selected and how the

money was calculated

v. Heifetz: they got most funding from other places so

that’s good. We passed it

Questions in Text

vi. Sandhu: line 15 adding ‘the’

vii. Flores: 24 after cost and before nevertheless should be a

comma

viii. Jamaludin: line 24 has CSI been defined yet? Might

want to define that

Public Discussion

ix. Sandhu: the event is this Saturday will we get money

out in time?

x. Martinez: they also do scholarships so they are suing

this funding to cover it and once they get money from

ASUCD the fund will get its money back. This 260 will

pay for traveling cost but they are using their own pot

to pay while we get the money

xi. Savage: we are basically reimbursing the organization

because the organization is covering them

xii. Chiang: are all students families being covered or?

xiii. Martinez: just the students requested and it’s not the

entire cost it’s just a subsidy

Senate Discussion

xiv. Singh: how much money do we have in senate

reserves?

xv. DeAngelo: 3403 whatever we don’t spend, it goes back

Bill passes

BREAK Ends 8:08

VIII. Unit Director Report: CCE – 8:09

i. Hannah: a quick recap of what CCE has done this

quarter. This last weekend at WEF we had a successful

composting workshop we were able to get materials

donated for free. This year we have built and sustained

our own worm population. During the festival we

collected pre consumer waste. With our garden space in

EC garden we have had four public workdays. Also we

are really proud of relationship we built with EC

garden. Three free flower boxes in front of garden to

showcase as you go in. they are developing an outdoor

teaching garden we are looking to work on with them.

We have a composting workshop this weekend. We

also have donated bins from dining services if you’re

interested in starting in your home. We teach about

water wise garden as well. One of the big things is the

environmental interest WEB we just turned it into a

binder and online resource. We have a list of interests

related to environmental sustainability within it we

have classes for people to know the material, clubs,

departments, to guide people where they want to get

going. It’s mainly a resource for freshmen we are

hoping to have it at orientation. This quarter we also

participated in picnic day float. We had an Eco hub

float and a banana costume. We had a zero waste event

during picnic day. A lot of people in the community got

to know what we are and what we do. One interns has

been developing an educational video on how to be

zero waste. In a week or two we will have a really

awesome video to show at orientation and classrooms.

We created an invoice system for compost and

tableware. You can come to us and we provide you

with compostable utensils at wholesale price to get

more student organizations using that. We think it’s

important to push for. We have also been piloting green

office program helping epic develop this for asucd units

to be green office certified. We are excited with how

that is working out. Hopefully we will have it al

finalized at the end of the quarter. Our compost pile has

been successful. We found out if you mix green and

food waste you actually reduce greenhouse gases. It’s

important to balance with green waste. This year was

the first year project compost waste diverting was using

in fiscal year report. Its something we are contributing

to as a university to waste production. We have been

working with other offices to help Davis move toward

zero waste future especially in compost. We are helping

determine feasibility of compost expansion potentially

working on a campus wide composting facility. We are

also hoping to collaborate with the city of Davis. They

are implementing a city wide composting program. Its

really cool so is on the lookout for that in July this year.

We are going to be cohosting with them to pull

resources and educate people on what can and cant go

in there. We have really good relationships with dining

services and housing. Recently got donation this

weekend. Also with dining services have any of you

been involved with one cup challenge? They challenge

you not to use disposable cups. If you sign up awesome.

A lot is focused on coffee mugs too. They are providing

free mugs cups water bottles for the month of may. If

they spot you with reusable mug you get raffled to win

a prize. We are cohosting an event with them next

Thursday at the Eco hub if you are interested in

decorating your own mason jar. We have also been

working on bikoshi project. It’s about aerobically

digesting food waste. It’s a big social experiment to

educate students to get them aware of their food waste.

They are developing a community garden in hunt hall.

Coming up, backyard workshop this Sunday so if

you’re interested in that we will be at student farms 11

am. We will also be at asucd job fair. If you want to

learn about involvement that will be the place to go.

Next Wednesday, we are having sustainability event.

We have about 6 speaker for the first half highlighting

projects from last year. People talk about nitrogen

footprint, people neglect this often think only about

carbon. Second half is dialogue between a lot of people

to talk about basically if we feel students are walking

away with enough knowledge to live a sustainable life.

We are looking to develop a curriculum whether its first

year seminars or aggie coport which is similar to first

year seminars. There isn’t one environmentally focused

so we want to develop hopefully one of those. We are

targeting all groups and I encourage all of you to attend.

If you are interested in sustainability and in these

efforts its cool. Project challenge was every month we

had a sustainable theme. The challenges are tiered

1,2,3. It’s been really successful. Students have been

responding well. We provide you with quick easy

changes to make in a sustainable life. We are looking to

get more people involved in how easy it is to change

parts of your life. Our unity director next year is Helen

our project challenge intern.

ii. Jamaludin: thank you so much for that amazing run

down. It is very impressive I recommend you take those

important dates and email it out to listserv to keep the

tabs. I just want to address that CCE has done a lot on

campus throughout campus and in the town of Davis.

On another note I just want to ask how much has EPPC

helped you?

iii. Hannah: there have been collaborations we helped with

the green tour but not as much as I hoped or expected.

Green office is what we are feeding into them but we

haven’t been working with them as much as we hoped

iv. Jamaludin: I wish we could ask Brent. I don’t want to

be that person but ill be sending an email to Brent about

that

v. Nazzal: would I be able to obtain worms?

vi. Hannah: I was at Unitrans and a guy asked if we sold

worms and I asked him way and he said he was going

fishing and I was like no these are pets. If you need

help with a worm composting system we would love to

help

vii. Singh: thank you for these projects. I am very

impressed. Can you elaborate on green office?

viii. Hannah: they do already through green lab program for

offices within departments more of the staff. The green

office basically has a checklist of things that you within

a physical space can be doing like efficient light bulbs,

things that are pretty straightforward. The idea being

that there is a liaison between members and the unit.

Someone who knows what there talking about goes

through it with you

ix. Singh: when will be implemented?

x. Hannah; we are in the pilot right now. I had hopes of it

starting this quarter but I don’t think that’s happening

so hopefully EPPC can initiate this year

xi. Sing: let us know if we can be of any help

xii. Hannah; we are starting small in the Eco hub and

hopefully meet most requirements already but when its

going to expand we will reach out

xiii. Singh: any updates on TGF?

xiv. Hannah: it has moved off the chancellor desk it is at

UCOP right now and they are pretty much okay with

everything. They are doing a signing in late may I

believe but it looks like everything is on track. It’s

moving forward

xv. Singh: how much of a role has EPPC played

previously?

xvi. Hannah: not very much I’ve tried many times more so

in the beginning of the year to include them and the

idea of us working together seemed to make sense but it

wasn’t successful so not as much as id liked

xvii. Dalavai: we had the nishi gateway folks present earlier

and we were told you’d be a good resource to tell us

why it isn’t a good idea

xviii. Hannah: we would love to have another discussion with

the senate table. I read the minutes and I was not stoked

on how one side was proposed. The lack of affordable

housing and no guarantee if it will be affordable. A pro

of it is creating jobs but will those people take the

housing? Will it be helping the students? The proximity

to the railroad and highway is very concerning. It is a

sustainable project but the development of any air filter

is huge and very costly and I’m not convinced it will

take care of the problem. Those are concerns. I don’t

know if its possible to reopen conversation to the

resolution but there are a lot of people that are no and

they should be heard.

xix. Dalavai: someone brought it up that when west village

was projected, it was framed in the same way and its

relatively affordable now

xx. Grewal: about the utensils for different clubs, how do

we get in contact about asking those supplies?

xxi. Hannah: on our website there is a zero waste link that

you fill your contact information about and we will

contact you, price and quantity is all located on the

website. We are working on reinstating the reusable

dish program. While compostable dishware is cool its

not necessarily the most sustainable. It takes a very long

time for those to break down so were making a huge

push to reusable dishes instead of compost

xxii. Grewal: what’s one project you will do with the

money?

xxiii. Hannah: CCE, we are not receiving or accountable for

that fund. There will be a CCE representative. One of

which will be probably buying the dishwasher. Another

id like to see is a reusable dish program at the Coho.

They use TGI funding at other UCs.

xxiv. Savage: I just wanted to say I’m very impressed. Every

time you come you list twenty things and I feel you do

more than senators. I feel you honestly don’t hear

enough that you’re doing great work. People are

recognizing your work so congratulations on everything

you’ve done

xxv. Hannah: there is no way id do anything without my

staff. We are a staff of 6. There is no way we would do

anything without these people. I had five people who

stood behind me. We figured out everything we had to

do. We came up with these projects and we worked

together. So I thank you, but it’s because of my staff.

There’s a whole group of people behind CCE. And a

whole bunch of volunteers too.

xxvi. Dalavai: you’re a great unit. You have one of the more

entertaining reports so I love hearing you when you

come.

IX. IAC Confirmation – 8:36

i. Sandhu: this is nick he is our applicant for IAC chair.

He filled in my spot and that went to spring so now he’s

being confirmed for all of next year. He’s very qualified

and the committee felt the same.

ii. Savage: so what are you going to do this year to make

IAC improved?

iii. Flores: one thing I was thinking about I know you guys

ask me a lot about bylaws. One thing I did now is

update the roster so there’s full pictures and bios. IAC

is known as a place where people move to higher

positions so I want to raise up these students. One thing

I had in mind was assigning people chapters so they are

familiar with legislation and to make bylaws more

concise. You will be seeing more bills from me.

iv. Dalavai: you have to say the sentence Oakland As are

better than the dodgers and you can’t wear that to

senate anymore. Kidding. I’m glad you joined.

v. Molodanof: I really like your idea of doing the personal

things with staffers teaching us. You mentioned having

it and I think that’s a great idea. Maybe do it once a

quarter. My staffers could definitely use that. You know

a lot more than me. Love sitting with you.

Confirmed

Introduction of New Legislation – 8:40

i. Sandhu: I only had one bill this week. Authored by

Dalavai to add weekly evaluations to the duties of IAC

chair

ii. Dalavai: we passed a similar one to recorder but Alex

vetoed it. Logic being that IAC is more suited to do

that. It’s the same thing; I just passed the responsibility

to IAC chair.

Public Discussion – 9:12

i. Ryan: hello again everyone. I’ve been in Sacramento

attending UC Regents meeting as a student advocate.

Alex and I will talk about the quab meeting earlier.

Started off on Tuesday there was a new state

amendment that strips uc system of constructional

independence by senator Lara. Instead of 12-year terms

now it is two ten-year terms. Most debate was about the

term of regents and state governor and how they outlast

however many governors. The rest of the hearings that

day were all closed session. They talked about sexual

violence and ethics students weren’t allowed. They

discussion personnel issues and we can’t hear because

we might sue them. We were there for public comment.

The largest trade union of US was there. They talked

about mental health and fire Katehi. They dodge

questions any way they can. When I brought up mental

health instead they asked me about Mississippi. Lunch

was not that productive. We finished first round

meetings late. We had a lovely reception last night.

State assembly members and senators were there. It was

an open bar. We talked on a personal level. They were

big on personal topics and dodging questions. We

wrapped dup this morning about HIS. Jen has pledged a

lot of money toward undocumented services. We have

been pushed with her homeland security background on

the ICE raids especially on SoCal campuses.

Napolitano is very responsive which is very nice. Going

into today we convened the chancellor’s undergrad

board for the first time since katehi has been on leave.

We want to increase communication between

chancellor’s office and students. Quab has been pushing

hard to make this an open setting especially for

ASUCD because we want to make sure our elected

officials that represent students to make sure the student

voice is heard. Alex and I were the only 2 in support of

democratization we were told by acting chancellor this

isn’t a democracy he even brought up 3 estates and

French revolution. We had a lot of fun

ii. Lee: we spent 40 minutes talking about how to make

acting chancellor more human. I start asking how we

make primary stakeholders, the students have

substantial say. He said it’s an meritocracy. He said we

will try to make you feel you have more vocals. I’m

paraphrasing but he’s very honest and direct. He said

it’s an ideological issue. He’s right it’s not a

democratized system. So I’m pushing for a real say. At

least I know how he thinks about it. Its true but maybe

not the right outlook

iii. Sandhu: he will be coming to senate for an hour and

field all of our questions so keep an eye out

iv. Flores: will it be open?

v. Sandhu: yes

vi. Ryan: so just to close up, the time is now. Admin is

kind of in a vulnerable position right now so if there’s a

time for students to push, its now and go strong before

summer. Show some love to your office of student

advocacy and we will see you around.

vii. DeAngelo: I’m not going to bore you with my week

thank you to Ricardo adillo josh David and all of you

that came by my office to help out with budget and

bring questions. It will be an interesting hearing next

weekend. I’m meeting with all the units so come to

your adopted units meetings. ASUCD will change a lot

next two years so it’s important to be involved. This

weekend Alex will present impact statement we will

talk about finance and differences between the reserve

accounts we have. Probably get into allocation and

reduce saving, gearing everyone up for hearing

Sandhu: please come it’s very important we put this on

so that budget hearing goes smoother. We are going to

talk about attendance and I need you all to be there.

This budget is so complicated so three hours will not be

enough so please it is Saturday 1-4 in the GSM by

Mondovi center. So just come.

viii. DeAngelo: all directors will be required to come. Next

weekend we will have formal budget hearings will start

4 o’clock and end 8:30/9. We will try to avoid what we

did last year going to 6 am. It is so important, please

make it a point to show up. Come with coffee! Emails

will be sent out. I also sent out time slots to choose a

time convenient for them. Which will be located where

a gender-neutral restroom is available.

i. Molodanof: motion to suspend chapter 22 of bylaws in

order to allow for commission chairs to be involved in

closed session

ii. Sandhu: this is relevant information.

iii. Dalavai: Ryan is relevant so he should stay

iv. Sandhu: who are the exact people to be involved in

here?

v. Dalavai: id like Ryan to be here.

vi. Sandhu: we had to do it at the time. Another aspect is

that once you leave, I will not let you back in. so they

will stay closed as soon as we start.

XII. Closed Session I – 9:23-10:00

XIII. Closed Session II – 10:03-10:42

XIV. Adjournment – 10:43
