a. Letter of support from F&S, Dean Henson is main contact
b. Goal to be a gate way program not only for student involvement but to get F&S to
interact with F&S, and most importantly will give important data that we can put
funding to

i. Intern will coordinate teams of students that will be trained and can identify
where weatherization changes can happen
ii. Intern will be meeting with committee in parallel
d. Program has a budget of $20,000 - $10,000 for each semester
i. None of the money is for implementation, right now F&S is committed to
making a contribution for implementation
1. Should have a time frame or payback period
ii. Student groups can be existing RSO’s or new RSO’s
1. The 500 funding is only available if they do a good job
e. What about physical implementation
i. Stretch goal as a future, need to build up trust
ii. Once main legwork of first semester is over, the intern can look into
implementation in the future
f. Will there be any point to doing the weatherization?
i. Audits meant to also go beyond weatherization, collect information about
building energy use, water, waste use. Holistic data collection and analysis.
ii. Primary goal is to get students engaged in their buildings
1. But there is no campus-wide weatherization

money across Universities

Community Gardens, Farm loan)
iv. What about demolishment of six pack
1. Probably not best to mention, should focus on existing
2. Dining facility is done, and we are putting pressure on future projects
v. Sustainability coordinator- don’t want to limit on what they do, should be
significantly up to them, don’t want to micromanage
vi. Do we have the right pieces

vii. Motion to set aside money in the order of 300,000 to further negotiations Approved
