It is only open to students now and we basically worked out an agreement with the AA where they are still going to pay for maintenance, but the CRC is in charge of operating the facility. They check people's BuzzCard, maintain the facility, and check for non-marking shoes.

We pay for it from the student activity fee and the regular CRC budget process.

The compromise we made with the AA this time was a fair one. It is a privilege for us to use these courts and in order to continue using them we need to work together so that the courts stay in good condition.

I met with [Robert Furniss, director of Parking and Transportation] last week.. And it's a very complicated issue. From the parking department's perspective there aren't the resources available [to keep the service going off-campus].

Honestly, it is a matter of what the students want. Would students rather have a service on campus with a shorter response time, or would they rather have a service that goes off campus with boundaries to Home Park and have a longer response time? Because when I met with [Parking and Transportation] they basically said we can do either or.

I still think this situation could have been handled better and I still think there should have been more of a heads up for students. We should have received a megamod in the summer about this, and in the beginning of the summer.

[One option currently under consideration by SGA is to charge students who wish to use the Stingerette for off-campus travel an additional fee.] We would like to look at the possibility of having students who rode the Stingerette swipe their BuzzCard for off-campus driving,.. There might be reasons it could not work, but we think it's definitely something worth looking at.

This garden is the crown jewel of the entire restoration project. The flowers cost 50,000. But it cost four times that for the layers upon layers of work in this garden that people never see, such as the archeology, the engineering, and the irrigation.

We have been working with Dean Gail and the Office of the Dean of Students to make sure that the needs of our visitors are met.

I'm very happy to see the campus and everybody in the Georgia Tech community come together to make this a priority. People have put off agenda items and Labor Day plans to service those in need.
