U L Progress Continued!

_ I think he is referring to that particular fee since it was passed as a dedicated facility fee. Am I interpreting that correctly, ULVictory? _

Fees are normally allowed even for say education for the bus usage to pick up students as U L does at the stadium parking lot and this fee is for the bus usage only for the campus and students. It cannot not be spent on anything else!
And yes, the facility for the indoor facility was a fee designated by description to build the facility and extend after payment into the future do the same thing. That fee I think, is only $20 a semester of which 15 dollars goes to the indoor facility and $5 to the band cheer leaders and another small entity! Fees are not normally allowed to be open ended and are dedicated. Join RCAF!

Baseball is nigh and there are some donors who have steped up to start the project. I do not know exactly for sure but, I would say within a year! The final plans have been tweaked several times and are due back soon. The turf cost us $700,000 and the left and right field bleachers about $600,000. The cookiing club section is done and they are palnning to do a new electron score board, the lights, and of course the stadium with added consession areas, corporatse suites press box and seating. Will spend another 7-8 million on the project bringing the total to about 9-10 million dollars with the stated addtions thus far! JOIN RCAF! Go Cajuns!

_ What about a separate fee for other operating expenses such as nutritional supplements, equipment, etc? If the expense of some of those items could be paid for by a dedicated fee would it free up money from the 3% budget for coaches salaries and expenses that cannot be covered by fees? _

Suppements are raised by fans at UL and I started the Program Builders Supplements Program for football supplements! We are going into the third year and I have about 80-90 members! If you would like to join, we do a news letter 9 months per year and provide this info and you get a letter from U L as a write off! If you are already a member thanks but if you want to participate in nutrition for football let me know!

The 3% allowance for athletics is limited to specific costs by legislative La. law! The expenditures are monitored by the A D and are defined and disperesed per each sport.

I am not sure if fees are allowed to co-mingle with costs incurred that are regulated by the rule of law! I don't think so but privte monies can be raised to supplement mostly any cost or expenditure for any sport and donated to that sport if the school allows the donation.

JOIN RCAF!

A couple of questions.....

Will the left & right field seating remain the same?

How will the current center concrete stadium section be modified for more seating??

Thanks
