Committee Reports:
1.
Budget Committee – Matt Irvin – Is no longer a classified employee so must step down
from the board. He reviewed how the
budget hearings fit into the year. Next
cycle starts late April/early May. We
need to seek a new person to represent ACE on Budget Committee.
2.
Parking - Julie Clarkson – Four items
are scheduled to be presented to the President's Cabinet next week: 1) Because two floors are consistently
vacant in the new parking garage, a recommendation is being made to increase
utilization by converting floors 3 & 4 to reserved parking. The suggestion is to move T lot reserved
pass holders to the top floor of the garage; to sell new reserved permits for
third floor covered parking at a slightly higher rate; and continue
pay-as-you-go on floors one and two.
The T reserved lot would be converted to general parking. 2) With the SUB lot getting low use, the
proposal is to reduce the rate charged to groups to encourage utilization and
to open the lot to general permit holders when it is not reserved by any
groups. 3) As a result of complaints
regarding parking while school is not in session, a recommendation is being
made to make all permits valid in all lots during intercession. 4) The final proposal is to create a new
kind of permit at a rate of $10 which would be valid one semester only with
restricted dates and times. These would be available to patrons of the youth
and special programs sponsored by Boise State (i.e. music lessons, gymnastics
programs, summer physical education programs).
Parking Committee meetings are now open. The regular meeting time is the 3rd Monday of the month at 3:00
in the Senate Forum room in the SUB.
