Ted Sealey explains the Central Reserve for DRAC. Requests can be made in the DRAC meeting.
Fiscal years and earmarking funds.
Erin described the requests for piano and expenses.
Numbers are not the same on the documents.
Total DRAC Budget we are only looking for a 5.6% increase. Part of it is Summer Clipson request that doesn’t happen every year but shows up as an increase. We have an increase for summer publication. We have specific reasons of what is going to get spent. Percentage increases have to happen to keep pace.
S&A will have a list of equipment to take to explain the earmarks.
Summer season in theatre, is getting better. We are doing a better job of finding a way to generate revenue in our events.
Students have the benefit of the community to enjoy.
Next week is voting to approve the budget.

Jennifer Kelley second.
