Make sure to give Eric enough time to do that, we also may want to discuss later down the line putting in a code change that unifies when agendas have to be posted so it’s easier to get into a routine.

5. The Aramark President of Higher Ed Services reached out to Kenny and I to set up a meeting to discuss the resolution. That will be taking place later this week.

8. President

1. Ethics Code Change Presentation. This will be presented this week to the Assembly and Senate. If they approve it, it will be up to be voted on in the Executive Council next meeting. Taite and I wanted to provide this presentation to you all before seeing it in the Joint meeting to ensure you weren’t caught off guard, and for you to provide recommendations if you see fit.
2. Eric and I got in touch with Lauren Griswold to work on obtaining email addresses for our Senators-- piloting whether or not it should be pursued for the Assembly members as well.
3. I reached out to Dr. Buckwalter to ask about Graf being regularly invited to the Dean’s Council meeting so we have insight at each level in the University about what is happening in each space.

1. Update: Dean’s council has declined the seat, but encourages us to request a time for us to present in their meetings when things come up-- vice versa as well.

4. JFAC met Thursday and approved Eric’s Canva Bill and the Mental Health Committee Bill. They will be up in the Joint meeting this week.
5. The Mental Health Committee has planned to throw a Veterans Day celebration this past week. It will include food trucks and a therapy animal petting zoo in the Quad
6. Reintegration committee: Central district health is overwhelmed with cases and their contact tracing team isn’t capable of reaching out to positive cases until after their recommended quarantine period has already concluded. The city has started advertising that Boise State is the place to go for testing and Public Health is seeing a large increase in the number of community members wanting tests from us.
7. The Helmet cart had a maintenance issue, it’s since been fixed but it did cost $250ish. The existing line item budget covered the cost, but to refill the gas tank it will most likely require a bill.
