Council presented by Justin D.

Notes and changes:

• change 04-05 Annual Budget (04-05AB) on line 6110 to $3700 (from $2000).  It was noted by Mike S. that history shows that $3700 has been appropriate and therefore why change it.
• change 04-05AB on line 6480 to $300 (from $500) due to elimination of Union graphics fees
• Mike L. and Justin D. note that the topic of paying fees to Outdoor Rentals should be revisited as to whether or not Hoofers would like to maintain a relationship under the same circumstances
• change 04-05AB on line 8700 to $2600 (from $3000).  Mike S. notes that there is an over abundance of merchandise left over from last years order.  At the same time Mike L. notes that there were recent negotiations with the Union to sell merchandise in the Union stores.  David W. asks why we haven’t been taking advantage of these negotiations and the consensus is that we should pursue it, leading Council members to believe that the budget must still be kept up a bit
• change 04-05AB on All Hoofer Events to $500 (from $800) because people have not been taking advantage of the account.  Justin would like to point out that this is not to discourage anyone from using the accounts, but they have not been being used
• Sara S. recommends change in 04-05AB on line 8080 to $4000 (from $4300) to help compensate for increase in line 6110.  The consensus among members is that we would like to see Education maintain its capacity, if not increase it.
