III. Announcements and Constituent Concerns 

  • Sprinklers 
    • Sprinklers in front of the SLTC seem to be wastefully watering mud, and are in the way of the pathway getting everyone wet.  
      • Dr. Carney-Hall has already contacted those in charge of this system about their placement. The sprinklers, however, are not just watering mud; there are new grass seedlings in the ground that need the water! 
    • Sprinklers in front of the Art Complex seem to be only watering the pavement.  
      • We need to send a work order in about that. 
  • Annie (Galloway) Can we add Trashcans to the Designated Smoking Areas? 
    • People are using the ashtrays as trashcans, which is a fire hazard.
