Student Government reviewed three bills Wednesday night. Bills for funding for a computer for a soon-to-be-hired administrative assistant, funding for a new office proxy lock system for the Student Government office and moving $13,000 to a Student Activity Fee Reserve will be voted on next week.

Student Government plans on hiring an administrative assistant for the upcoming year and needs a new computer for them.

It will buy a computer from ISU Surplus for $350 with funding coming from the Special Projects account if the bill passes.

Currently, the Student Government Office is locked via key; this causes issues as only certain members have keys.

A proxy lock system will remediate this problem and allow for all members to have easy access to the office on a regular basis without having to worry about being unable to get in.

Every year, Student Government sets aside six percent of the Student Activity Fee in a Student Activity Fee Reserve account.

Six percent of this year’s expected income is $13,000 and it is planned to be set aside in accordance to its bylaws.

All three bills will be voted on at next week’s Student Government meeting.
