      2. Vote on Decision

Tabled discussion at last meeting, Right livelihood is asking for their funds from the past years thay they forgot to ask about.

SFAC could say no, yes and use reserves, or yes with carryforward

They asked if we could use the funding call for this year and amend it to be able to give this reimbursement through it

When doing this years funding call, we divided the money through all of the funding calls and their funding was around 12 thousand which they were awarded 4 thousand dollars extra

Bara motions to not reimburse them, and have them use the four thousand from this years funding calls

  1. Stipend Increase Recommendation Vote
    1. Year 1 SFAC reserve, Year 2 & 3 DSAS Budget. This plan is to provide time to source permanent sources of funding to support stipend increase.
    2. Potential start for increase in Fall 2023
    3. Or potential start this quarter but second payment would maybe pay out a little later

This would be a 1000 dollar increase for next year and it would add on to the next years

It could start in the fall or right now

Most people are supportive for this change

Andy motions to start this stipend increase with 1 year SFAC reserve and then DSAS budget.
