 SLC was given a presentation on the Disability Resource Center by
Johanne Tottle. I voted to support the report given in the presentation.

deliberation, recognizing the importance of the decision that was to be
made, SLC voted to appoint Sabrina Grover to the position.
 James Delaney presented the second reading of a resolution to change
the procedures involved with travel and conference funding. I suggested it
important that we consider requiring some proof of undergraduate student
status other than a professorial letter; this suggestion was accepted and
the resolution modified. The modified resolution was approved by SLC.
 We discussed a term excusal for Science Rep Ola Mohajer. Ola presented
to us on her ability to perform according to her mandate and also fulfill her
platform while away. As per SU By-laws, this will not be put to a vote until
September.

2. Faculty Work (and connecting with constituents)

Clubs Trailer cleanup
  Myself, Ashley and Daniela Montgomery (CUS President) organized a
cleanup of the Haskayne Student Clubs trailer on August 14th. We had
students from nearly every student club attend and we gutted the
complete common area. The Saturday cleanup took approximately 5hrs to
finish, with all involved happy with the outcome.

3. Committee Work
Operations & Finance Committee
 I attended all meetings during the month in which we had topics on the
agenda.
 We discussed partnership funding for the Dino Dash. Macewan
Conference & Events was brought on board as a sponsor
 As a committee, we approved a partnership with the ECOclub on a
presentation by Hunter Lovins, approving the use of the ballroom for the
event contingent on special student pricing on tickets.
 We conditionally approved a partnership application with My Market for
space in Macewan Hall
 A partnership application concerning the weekly drum circle was
discussed. The committee decided to revisit this partnership at another

other topics.

5. Goals

Status of Previous Goal (if applicable).

 Due to the sheer scope of the project, my previous goal, concerning
renovations to the Student Clubs Trailer in Haskayne has yet to come to
completion.
My goal for August is:
 Continued progress on the Clubs Trailer renovations
The steps to be taken to achieve this goal are:
 Meetings with the various stakeholders to discuss the requirements of
anything outside the original flooring changes
 Discussions with Ashley Bradley and Rita Egizii regarding sponsors and
create a concrete list of potential sponsors
 Create a sponsorship package to be presented to the individual sponsors
on the created list
The Executive Lead for this goal is:
James Delaney – VP Operations & Finance
