fund capital repairs through Student Spaces Fund

Required 2013 Costs• $85,000 in 2013
– Deck entrance $10,000– Exterior exit door replacement $7,000– Upper deck of hall $50,000– Manager suite renovations $15,000

Considerations• Student Spaces in Code• History of Student Spaces funding• New SUB Microbrewery cost• Potential emergency funding
Student Spaces FundThe Student Spaces Fund (formerly CPAC) shall be administered by Council on the recommendation of SAC, the Student Life and Communications Committee, or the Executive Committee. The Fund shall be used to finance specific capital projects authorized by the referenda of November 1982 and November 1991, including:
i) the construction of new day care facilities;ii) development of athletic facilities in the vicinity of the SUB;iii) development of on-campus student housing;iv) SUB renovations and expansion; andv) Whistler Cabin renovations and expansion.
Path Forward• Move forwards to refurbish the lodge as
service to students with continual capital funding from Student Spaces
• Maintain lodge as is with funding from Student Spaces
• Sell the lodge with profits going to AMS Endowment fund
