Allocations Committee: -

This weekend we held SPOT 1 budget hearings. We received over 70 budget requests and were able to fund 87% of the requested budgets. Decision letters will be sent out this Wednesday, January 28th and any appeals must be submitted by February 3rd at 5 p.m. All SPOT 1 appeals will be heard in Senate on February 10th.

Facilities and Transportation Committee: 8-RIDE - Designated routes for 8-RIDE vans to make it a route service instead of a call service. There would be four separate routes spanning from Touhy to Thorndale and out west to Clark. On Tuesday, my committee is going to work on designating pick-up/drop-off stops along each route. We hope to show this to Nick and the Transportation Department by the beginning of next week. Student Storage - Emailed Dawn to continue the conversation on funding for lockers. Just need to get that squared away then we can email orgs.

Justice Committee: -

Just Leasing and Trade Project: Next steps are to deliver the results in the form of a report to interested parties. I have scheduled meetings with Rogers Park business alliance, Edgewater Chamber of Commerce, Community Relations, and Lakeside Management. Just Employment Policy and Project: We are connecting with Unite Local 1 (union that works with Aramark workers) to establish the next steps on this project. Likely it will revolve around the Hotel campaign as well as the Aramark campaign. We have yet to start confirming details for Worker Breakfasts, but will keep everyone updated as soon as we know.
