Summary of board meeting 2016-10-13

The meeting began with the usual formalia. The delegates gave updates on their recent work, and then the board went through the operational plans and budgets that had been sent to the board for review. The point on answering to motions and interpellations was skipped, since no such item had been sent to the council in time for the november meeting.

Then the board discussed issues regarding the various receptions arranged for SciTech-students. Firstly, the board discussed policy for receptions that the receptions arranged by UTN should comply to, and decided that the board should write a revision proposal of the policy for the union council in december. After this, the board discussed long-term strategy for the various reception at the SciTech-faculty. No decision were taken on this.

The salary leves for the management team has been discussed within the management team recently, since if one has taken student loans you get less as a part of the management team then you do as a student. However, it will cost a lot of money to raise salaries even a small bit, and the unions long-term expenses are difficult to estimate, given that there is an ongoing investigation into a new building for the union. The board left this point without taking a decision.

At the end of the meeting, the board split the various projects in the tactical operational plan up, so that each project have at least one responsible person. They discussed whether the union should run a cafe in the new part of Ångström and whether the union should buy the games we have at our disposal in the shop.

The board finished the meeting with a classic groupie.
