Student Senate will vote on a bill that will support the completion of Athens’ street initiative at Wednesday’s meeting.
The bill would support Athens complete street initiative to mandate that future streets created are accessible for all forms of transportation, including bicyclists and pedestrians. The initiative would improve existing roads to fit the criteria outlined in the complete-street guidelines, according to the bill.
If approved, the bill will be sent to Vice President for Student Affairs Jason Pina, Dean of Students Jenny Hall-Jones, Athens City Council President Chris Knisely and Mayor Steve Patterson.
Student Senate will also vote on nine resolutions. Two resolutions will be to update chapters of rules and procedures for the Off-Campus Affairs Commission and the Minority Student Affairs Commission.
Members will vote on four budget resolutions.
One resolution will be to purchase transportation for Senate’s Washington, D.C. networking trip, which will cost about $672. Another resolution will be to purchase plane tickets and will cost about $480. Another resolution will be for a hotel room, which will cost about $208. The last budget resolution is to purchase a $150 Amazon gift card for Student Senate headshots.
Three other resolutions will be voted on to appoint senators in Student Senate. Members will vote to appoint Sam Carryer and Jayden McAdams as senators to the Senate Appropriations Commission. Joseph Kolawole Abon will also be voted on to be appointed as Graduate College Senator to Academic Affairs Commission.
There will also be two presentations at the meeting from Knisely and an United Healthcare Representative.
