    3. Announcements:

    • 2010 Census: UW-L will benefit if students complete census forms, however their La Crosse
    address must be used. This could indirectly influence funding for MTU.

    • Bob Hetzel presented plans for a new UW-L parking ramp this week.
    • The MTU bus circulator route study will be presented to Student Senate next Wednesday by
    consultant Bob Born. Preliminary discussions with Bob will occur at 2:00pm in 257 Cartwright.

    4. A motion was discussed about requesting that three students, one each from Student Senate,
    Environmental Council, and JCES, be included on the committee that is planning the new parking ramp.
    Committee membership should also include a staff/faculty member from JCES. This motion will be
    considered next week.

    5. Rob Turner presented ideas about obtaining funding for a photovoltaic project at UW-La Crosse. Funding
    from Xcel Energy will may available for such projects in the near future. A roof-top project for Mitchell
    Hall was suggested as a site option. Parking lot canopies might also be an option for photovoltaic panels.
    Xcel funding was used for alternative energy projects at St. Olaf and other campuses. Kohl’s may also
    fund projects like this. The Wisconsin Energy Center would be helpful in evaluating proposals for roof-
    top systems.

    6. Green Fund proposal evaluation. About $200,000 is available from the Green Fund.
