Whereas: The GPSA Bylaws require that the Appropriations Committee recommend an internal budget in the form of a resolution (3.05(D)(vii)).
Whereas: GPSA’s Activity Fee Income was estimated by the VP of Finance and Appropriations and additional information was collected by the Office of the Assemblies. The GPSA Activity Fee contribution is $56,513.90.
Whereas: The amount of funds in the GPSA’s reserve $143,506.25 as of August 31, 2026, according to the Office of the Assemblies.
Whereas: An outstanding $15,000 to be allocated to Anabel’s Grocery from the GPSA Reserve in fulfillment of Resolution 2 (AY 2025-2026) is omitted for clarity of actual annual operating budget.
Whereas: The recommended GPSA Internal budget is based on the historical use of funds. The last 11 years of internal budgets and expenses were used to estimate our expenses for this coming Academic Year.
Whereas: The full budget, including each committee line item is included (see Box).
Be it therefore resolved: Final GPSA income from the Activity Fee will be determined later in the Fall Term.
