Activities Board Budget

FY2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)

The Activities Board is the primary event programming organization on campus. We are a subcommittee formed by Student Senate and charged with providing a breadth of programming to the campus community. We provide the campus with year-round films, concerts, speakers, comedians, publications, technical assistance, in addition to special events. We strive to reach a broad set of students with our programming choices as well as provide quality entertainment on campus.

Debt/Rollover Explanation:

Office Expenses and Operational Costs

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Ops-General Supplies (+) $300.00 $300.00 $300.00

To purchase supplies for office. This constitutes of tape, scissors, box-openers, staples, staplers, pens, duct-tape, and paint. This is to buy supplies for all 11 sub-committees of AB.

Ops-Telecommunications (+) $1,100.00 $1,100.00 $1,100.00

Funding for phone equipment and lines for the AB office. We need a phone number that agents can contact to coordinate day of event details and event planning coordination. Since our staff is constantly evolving as individuals leave and join our board it makes sense for us to have a stable phone number and line. Equipment, telephone lines, and local calls cost 90.00/month.

Ops-General Supplies (+) $100.00 $100.00 $100.00

Cleaning supplies for office.

Ops-Non-Promotional Paper, Printing, and Pub. (+) $300.00 $300.00 $300.00

Buying ink, toner and paper for the AB printer. Around ~230 for toner and ink, ~70 for paper.

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Food-Meals for Members (+) $1,500.00 $1,500.00 $1,500.00

Food for weekly AB general body meetings. In line with budget from last year.

Food-Refreshments for General Body Meetings (+) $500.00 $500.00 $500.00

Food for AB committees. Read-me, Concerts, Comedy, and Special Events have all historically had committees in the past. They will hold meetings at their own discretion. Reduced from last year's budget because I don't think that we ended up using the full 1,000 at all.

Ops-Gifts and Prizes (+) $500.00 $100.00 $100.00

Give-aways for both activities fair. We didn't receive a subsidy for this last year, and we've used old give-aways for both activities fairs this year. I would like to buy new ones for next year. This year we initially tried AB week, for which we raffled away prizes and gave away food. I used money from individual committees to purchase these items. However, since the purpose of this event is general publicity for AB I would like to have a budget for it in AB Main. I spent ~300 dollars total on AB week this year.

JFC will fund $100 per year for general club/organization promotion. Use for give-aways/raffles. See below for AB Week food.

Ops-Advertising and Publicity (+) $200.00 $300.00 $300.00
