- Summer Campus Based Fees
a. Lisa reviews an updated Summer Revenue Distribution Methodology b. Lisa would like to discuss what the actual fee will be today. c. Aaron recalls that we already agreed that we wanted to use the new methodology, and
we needed to decide if we would charge Measure 7 and LSS at 100% rate.
d. Proposal from Lisa: the fee level would be $283 for campus based fees. Using the
amount that is currently distributed to each of the fees, instead of the calculation of the fee at two-thirds. In addition, the fees that have not been collected would continue as not collected.
e. Aaron responds that this is a good plan. There is little impact to the units who receive
the funds, and the overall fee level has reduced. Gina agrees.
f. Gina suggests that we discuss how students see the bill. g. Suini suggests that Summer Session should have a list of the summer fees on their website, a more detailed list of the individual fees and what is being charged. h. Aaron asks about bringing back the College Government Fee? Lisa suggest the committee continue to look at this question later in the year and make a recommendation for next year. Ian adds that we should continue to get feedback from our college spaces.

the motion. Motion carries by consensus.
