Vice President Normandin suggests an ice breaker relevant to spirit or a workshop where you ask them to brainstorm spirit ideas

iii.

Chairperson Read and Comptroller Kutsch are going to give an abbreviated treasurer training 1.

iv.

Chairperson Hinson- says it’s good, notes that her form (part of her presentation) is not on GetInvolved HU yet 1.

Vice President Normandin says her GetInvolved HU isn’t working/letting her sign in but will work on this

v.

Chairperson Denton says she’s set and asks about an event that was done at the last retreat

9

1.

Vice President Normandin responds that yes, the activity it was committee mission statements and it is on the agenda Chairperson Denton agrees this activity will be helpful/worthwhile

vi.

Chairperson Labrie will explain club elections but there are so many different kinds of Senatorial Actions that an example might not be effective 1.

Vice President Normandin suggests going over different kinds of Senatorial Actions possible at least

III. New Business A.

S.A.2017.82.002 i.

Chairperson Tomasso explains that this action is made up of pride expo questions that people will answer to be entered to win gift card 1. Ask about commuter/not to see divide in attendance at events; sports interest, and how people find out about things

ii.

Vice President Normandin says the first question should be changed because of inability to filter responses by commuters vs. residents 1.

Chairperson Tomasso says it will be on google sheets and that capability is there - she has discussed this with SGA Advisor Boneta

2.

Vice President Normandin explains that surveys have to be conducted through GetInvolved HU because of the contract they have with Hofstra

10

iii.

Chairperson Read moves to add S.A.2017.82.002 to the Senate Agenda

1.

Motion seconded

2.

Motion passes unanimously

S.A.2017.82.003 i.

Chairperson Radeva explains the proposal is to change the required club leader office hours from a minimum of 8 hours to 5 hours 1.

Vice President Normandin asks for clarification of what exactly is being changed a.

Chairperson Radeva explains the proposal is to change the required club leader office hours from a minimum of 8 hours to 5 hours and adds that this will make it less controversial to pass and they can focus on refining other changes they may want later

b.

Vice President Normandin suggests making the changed information bold

2.

Chairperson Labrie moves to add S.A.2017.82.003 to the Senate Agenda

c.

a.

Motion seconded

b.

Motion passes unanimously

S.A.2017.82.004 i.

Vice President Normandin says an amendment needs to be made to change the title to something other than “title�

11

ii.

Chairperson Tomasso asks what the job of the Legal Aide is 1.

Chairperson Labrie answers that the Judicial Panel’s Legal Aide is basically equivalent to Senate’s Secretary

iii.

Vice President Normandin says Article 7 information is already in the Judicial Panel’s constitution in other places 1.

Chairperson Labrie says they wrote it as such so it would be concise and have an air-tight interpretation

iv.

Vice President Normandin says the Judicial Panel’s constitution states that they are not allowed to amend their constitution - any changes must be made by adding an addendum

v.

Chairperson Tomasso asks about the meaning of a reference to ‘public record’ in their proposal 1.

Comptroller Kutsch answers that ‘public record' is any information that goes onto the website a.

Example: Senate meetings - however there are circumstances where discussions or meeting aren’t put on record

2.

Vice President Normandin explains executive sessions and how the Judicial Panel’s point with this change is that they want to be able to have these sessions and then not bring it to senate a.

Example: details of a club conflict they might not want to be public knowledge

12

3.

Chairperson Read does not like that they scratched Section 6 Justices know they cannot be on other conduct boards when they chose to run a.

Chairperson Tomasso sees her point, but adds that the Justices haven’t been given many jobs as a Judicial Panel and simply want more opportunities to complete these duties

b.

Vice President Normandin adds that conduct board deals with a different population than the Judicial Panel (Judicial Panel is for clubs) (conduct board is for individual students)

4.

Chairperson Tomasso inquires about Section 3, part A referencing Judicial Panel overrule of SGA club derecognition decisions - would senate be able to go back and overrule their overrule? a.

Vice President Normandin says no, Judicial Panel’s job is to check Senate, for separation of powers this makes sense

5.

Chairperson Read thinks 14 days amendment is too long- it should be kept to 7 days as it is now

6.

Comptroller Kutsch says lots of information included in their changes is already in the constitution, they’re being overly specific/detailed about scenarios

13

7.

The Judicial Panel Legal Aide discussion: a.

President Cinquemani believes the old policy was for the Legal Aide to be appointed - it is only recent precedence that Legal Aide was appointed from the elected Justices pool

b.

Vice President Normandin reads old constitution and there are multiple comments from Cabinet on vagueness of the wording

c.

Discrepancy between ideas that Legal Aide is voted onto the Judicial Panel and appointed by Justices from elected pool vs simply being appointed without being elected - this gets into voting rights

8.

Vice President Normandin reminds Cabinet again that no one can amend the Judicial Panel constitution, they would have to write all of the changes they want as an added statement/article addendum on the bottom of the constitution

9.

Chairperson Labrie moves to add S.A.2017.82.004 to the Senate Agenda

10.

a.

Vice President Normandin alone seconds the motion

b.

Chairperson Read objects

Chairperson Read moves for an unmoderated caucus to vote for putting S.A.2017.82.004 on the Senate Agenda with two

14

minutes of speaking time for as many speakers as can fit in that time a.

Chairperson Read against: starts by saying S.A.2017.82.004 is too much - needs to be fixed more.

Plus, the writers and cabinet aren’t super knowledgeable on the topics brought up; it needs more so it can be better to pass

b.

Chairperson Labrie for: says bringing the proposal to Senate will bring more voices and opinions - while this will be time consuming it will also be a learning experience

c.

Comptroller Kutsch for: says the issues Cabinet sees now are mostly clerical - haven’t mentioned spirit of law just how it should be written as addendum

d.

Chairperson Tomasso against: completely striking sections is a big deal and if we work with the writers now and tell them what our issue is they can fix it and make it better before Senate sees it

e.

Chairperson Denton against: the proposal should be fleshed out more - the idea is too impromptu and talking with them will help them before bringing it to senate

15

f.

Comptroller Kutsch for: they put work into this proposal and it would be irresponsible of Cabinet to not let them try to bring the proposal before Senate

11.

Vote to put S.A.2017.82.004 on the Senate Agenda is 4-4-0 a.

President Cinquemani is tiebreaker - should be tabled for improvements

b.

Motion does not pass by a vote of 4-5-0 and S.A.2017.82.004 is tabled

12.

Chairperson Labrie will have a meeting with the writers to explain the decision and particularly deal with formatting in relation to the rules of the Judicial Panel’s current constitution

IV.

Matters at Hand a.

Club Relations- Chairperson Radeva: i.

Club Relations will be actively recruiting for NEXUS (yearbook)

ii.

Campus Feminist Collective and Gospel Ensemble used to share an office - Gospel will be moving asap because these groups cannot coexist

iii.

Chairperson Radeva will be writing a resolution about this CFC issue

16

iv.

Other office spaces - good at the moment - some furniture and chairs are available 1.

Danceworks got their couch back and can keep it - going forward rules will apply and be made very clear in all offices that anything a club purchases is SGA property

v.

President Cinquemani asks about Muslim Student Association wanting a desk 1.

Chairperson Radeva she has been in contact with them and they can definitely have one, but she will visit their office first to see if old desks are functional before giving them a second one- also she is going over their list of other requested items

vi.

Gospel Ensemble requested “stuff for storage” - Chairperson Radeva requested information from them about what “stuff” entails

vii.

17

well as negotiate the number of print copies down and see if an electronic copy can be obtained x.

Committee ran through Pride Expo - Saturday, Oct. 7th - Chairperson Tomasso will hand out a form for Fall Fest signups at Senate 1.

Chairperson Tomasso wants to make it mandatory for Senators to attend. They must pick a time slot to help table/survey or give Chairperson Tomasso a specific reason why you cannot be there

2.

Chairperson Tomasso suggests just saying “come see me after Senate� because that worked last year

ii.

There are a lot of reallocation requests already this semester - some have even tried to reallocate whole budget - not ideal 1.

Reallocation is at comptroller discretion, so he might start denying reallocations so they go through appropriations channel properly- there is no rule about reallocating a certain percentage of the budget on the books beyond precedent and there should not be because scenarios come up

2. e.

He has denied for violations of policy series
