Student Government Senate passed legislation in support of changing the University’s parking meter service time.
The legislation requests the parking meters’ service time to stop at 4:30 p.m. instead of 10 p.m.
The authors of the bill, Sen. Johnae Jefcoat, University Center for Academic Success, and Sen. Andree Ardoin, University Center for Freshman Year, said the change will make the parking meters more aligned with the zoned parking lots.
The authors also said they are planning to propose the idea to the Office of Parking, Traffic and Transportation and wanted the legislation as extra support.
Senate also unanimously passed legislation to send a letter of appreciation to the Athletic Department thanking them for their contributions to the University.
The Athletic Department donated about $2.3 million to the University for the 2009-10 fiscal year, according to the legislation.
The money is allocated to landscaping projects, classroom renovations, parking lot construction and repair, the construction of the new College of Business complex and the Chancellor’s Excellence Fund.
The Athletic Department also donates $8.5 million to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Student Aid for student-athletes’ scholarships, said Sen. Aimee Simon, UCFY.
The Athletic Department provides $4.2 million for University administrative fees from all campus auxiliaries, according to the bill.
