The Student Services Finance Committee approved WSUM's 2011-'12 budget and discussed funding for the Union and Recreational Sports Monday. The student radio station's budget was approved at $319,523, $6,064 higher than WSUM's proposed budget after SSFC voted to increase worker stipends. SSFC Representative Cale Plamann motioned to raise salaries from the work study rate of $4.60 to $9.19, ensuring the station will not be dependent on finding work study students for the positions. ""Pretty much every dime seems to be accounted for,"" Plamann said. ""But I would prefer to know that WSUM has the money it needs."" The committee also discussed the Rec Sports and Union budgets. Rec Sports' biggest request was $400,000 for maintenance fees, raising student segregated fees that go toward Rec Sports to $2.38, a 15.51 percent increase from 2010-'11. Although a referendum to increase student segregated fees for funding a new Natatorium failed last April, Rec Sports Director Dale Carruthers said he still hoped to proceed with plans to build the Natatorium within the next 10 years in order to avoid costly annual maintenance efforts. ""A major renovation is never far from our mind,"" Carruthers said. ""When students are ready for us to move forward on that, we're ready."" The majority of the committee said they agreed. ""We're past the point of the referendum, but we can definitely look to the future,"" SSFC Chair Matt Manes said. Union representatives said architects are assessing necessary repairs for Memorial Union, including updating the theater and the Hoofers' area while fixing accessibility and space issues. Representatives said they hoped to offset the burden of higher segregated fees from Union South construction by fundraising for Memorial Union repair funds. SSFC members also recommended that Union membership for at-large community members increase much higher than alumni memberships, especially since segregated fee contribution is expected to increase by 8.36 percent in the coming year.
