The Code of Ethics Committee will be composed of Councilor Ferrara, Councilor Hewson and Councilor Schneider. New Business U of S Women's Centre VP Henderson outlined the proposal brought forward from the U of S Women's Centre. He pointed out that the Women's Centre budget was included in the document. He requested that all Councilors read the document and be prepared to ask questions for next weeks' Council meeting. Questions and Comments Councilor Taylor asked about feedback on the Health and Dental opt out period. He also suggested that more time be allotted to opt out for next year. VP Wallace responded to Councilor Schneider's earlier question regarding the appropriate time to ask questions about the Executive minutes. He clarified that during either Questions and Comments or during the approval of the Executive minutes would be fine. President Hutchinson responded to Councilor Taylor's questions. She noted that students wishing to opt out of the plan would only have to provide proof of other coverage once. As far as the timeframe, she is hoping that something can be worked out with the Registrar's Office in regards to the last day to pay tuition without financial penalty. Councilor Schneider asked for clarification on the policies included in the Executive Committee minutes for the summer months. She requested that Council receive copies of the policies approved by the Executive. She also asked what came of the meeting between the USSU Executive and the NAIT Executive. VP Henderson reminded all Councilors to swipe their student cards to verify their attendance. With regards to policy changes, he noted that the media policy was created because there wasn't a policy previously. The Human Resources policy outlines things such as vacation pay and hiring procedures for the organization. The changes to the poster policy were minimal, a notable being that if a student shows his/her student card, they will be able to put their posters up free of charge. He also noted that if people are not respecting the poster policy, they will be sent a warning and if they continue, their poster privileges will be revoked. If anyone is interested in obtaining copies of the USSU policies, they can either stop by the office or go to the USSU website. Councilor Ferrara asked what the presentation from Tomas Linear to the Executive was regarding. VP Wallace mentioned that he came to Executive to ask permission to come to Council to present his position on University purchasing policies. Council will be given the same information that was given to the Executive. 5 Councilor Taylor asked for an update on on-line voting and he suggested that we look at on-line attendance for Council. He also raised another issue with the poster policy regarding jurisdiction over the tunnel area. VP Henderson responded to Councilor Taylor's questions. He noted that the attendance of Councilors will be on-line. This way students will have access to how well their Councilors are representing their respective colleges. He also mentioned that when people are getting their posters stamped at the Information Centre, they are told that they can only hang the posters up to the point of the doorways at the end of the Tunnel. President Hutchinson responded to Councilor Schneider's inquiry regarding the Executive trip to Edmonton. She noted that the University of Alberta Student's Union has a very interesting agreement with their Administration on how they share space. It is something that she is looking at seriously. The Executive took tours of both the U of A and the NAIT campuses. She ensured Council that more information would follow. Councilor Popovic asked for clarification on the severity of the placeriel.com website. President Hutchinson responded by noting that the USSU has sought legal advice and that a letter has been sent to the former student who created the website. The name of the website has been changed to universitybazaar.com. Councilor Hewson thanked the USSU and Council for assisting with Shinerama. He requested that if anyone had contact information for fundraising people on their College Society, to please forward it to him as he is attempting to make this a campus- wide initiative. He also asked if it would be possible to get the mission and vision statement of the Women's Centre for the last couple of years.
