Thursday, May 30, 2013 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Thursday, May 30, 2013 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com 7 SOLAR From Page 1 Councilmember Sally Peterson (D-Ward 2) said communication about the Fuller Road panels went much smoother and created fewer concerns among Ann Arbor residents and business owners. "I think since then (the Plymouth project) they've been much more proactive in communicating their intentions," Peterson said. Peterson said two community meetings have been held this year between University and Ann Arbor officials. The first was held in February during which the University apologized for the lack of discussion on the Plymouth Road project and announced the plans for Fuller Road. The second meeting was to alert the surrounding neighborhood of the project. "I think the meetings went quite well," Berki said, "The feedback that we've received from the community on this staff of the solar project has been very positive." Currently both Ann Arbor and the University have their own renewable energy projects but Peterson says she would rather they collaborate on green projects. "The city and University are just now looking for opportunities to collaborate," Peterson said, "I would say that might be one of those areas where we could have some very positive collaboration."

Lumm said the city would need to keep this issue in mind in future contract negotiations. "It is critical that in every contract we negotiate that we raise the issue and start to address our pension offerings going forward," Lumm said. Powers added that there would be more information presented to the council members on these long-term obligations in the next quarter in order to make informed future budget decisions. Alongwith thebudget, several amendments were passed that allocated and reallocated money toward social welfare programs - including $100,000 for the Washtenaw Health initiatives, $300,000 for affordable housing initiatives, $4,500 for a senior meal program - park funding and city maintenance. Another proposal to resume the pickup of leaves on streets - a service eliminated during the recession - was proposed and defeated because of high cost of over $300,000 and its difficulty to implement. Proposals to increase police funding in order to add three full-time employees, through elimination of three probation officers, and a separate proposal to increase police staffing by one full time employee, through eliminating employees in the city attorney's office, were both defeated by a margin of 6-5 and 9-2, respectively. Taylor said the city didn't need more money allocated to safety services, as over 50 percent of the city's annual budget was already allocated to fundingthose services. "We need a balanced approach," Taylor said. "The benefit of adding additional officers does not away the detriment by the offsetting cuts needed to fund those officers." Lumm, who proposed the amendment to allocate three more full-time positions to the police department, said she was disappointed with the outcome. She didn't think the city was prioritizing public safety as much as it should. Renovations to CVS will begin in July CSG encourages higher standards Changes to include new check-out stations and small health clinic By AARON GUGGENHEIM ManagingNewsEditor After two years in business, the South State Street CVS Pharmacy will be undergoing some minor renovations to add new checkout stations and a health clinic, MinuteClinic, which can provide basic health services. CVS will begin the renovations in July, carrying them out at night when the store is closed, and plans to complete them before the end of the summer. The renovations are part of a continued expansion of commercial drug stores into the downtown Ann Arbor area, as Walgreens has signed a lease to open in the former location of Michigan Book and Supply in 2014. CVS spokesperson Mike DeAngelis said the store was renovating to keep up with customer demand. "The business is growing and we needed to add the checkout stations to keep up with the volume of business that the store is experiencing," DeAngelis said. In addition to the checkout stations, the MinuteClinic will have registered nurse practitioners and physician assistants to provide treatment for minor injuries and illnesses, administer shots and vaccines and conduct physicals. "The store is to serve the University of Michigan community," DeAngelis said. "We are adding these features to enhance our services." Garry Turner, owner of The Village Apothecary, said he wasn't concerned about the expansion of commercial drug stores in downtown Ann Arbor. He has owned his drug store since 1994 and owns two others, one in Jackson and another in Flint. "I don't think it will bother me that much, I'll still be here," Turner said. "Revenue goes up and it goes down." Turner said the level of personalized service that his store provides would attract customers, adding that his patrons always see the same faces when they shop. "Unless you are really in love with dealing with corporate outfits and their whole line of thinking, (I think) most people would choose personalized service," he said. LSA senior Anusha Sharma said she liked the idea of the MinuteClinic's accessibility. "I think it is a good idea," Sharma said. "It would be a convenient way for people to get immunized." "I prefer the national chains," she added. "(They are) more reputable and often have more selection." Parties stress importance of attendance and participation By AMRUTHA SIVAKUMAR AND GIACOMO BOLOGNA Daily StaffReporters A highly contested Central Student Government election in late March saw allegations of campaign violations followed by law suits, as parties sought to secure the presidential and vice presidential seats. But to move forward from the election politics, the 52 newly elected legislative representatives must harness their power in numbers to fulfill their campaign promises and implement positive change. In a March interview preceding the elections, LSA junior Michael Dalton, a representative during the 2012-13 term who ran with youMICH, said he believed that the second CSG assembly failed in their outreach to new student organizations. He added that elected representatives could have participated more actively. "Every representative didn't write up a resolution, every representative didn't even have something to say in announcements arising, every representative didn't even convey a message to the assembly that says this is what someone from my respective college says their experience at the University has been like," Dalton explained. Furthermore, Dalton said the lack of communication between elected representatives and the student body was evident through the few students who spoke during the community concerns portion of CSG assembly meetings. "Students didn't really feel that comfortable, I think, coming to us about their student-related problems," Dalton said. He noted that student input would have proved to be useful when university administrators, such as University Regent Mark Bernstein (D-Ann Arbor), addressed assembly meetings. Dalton said the power of the assembly and its ability to use public pressure to influence administrators was underestimated. Representatives get especially prompt responses when e-mailing administrators and could hence channel the voice of student government to create bigger impact. In the 2013 CSG election cycle, youMICH and forUM proved to be the two dominant parties in terms of number of representatives and garnered popular votes. Public Policy junior Sam Dickstein, forUM Communications & Marketing Director, said forUM implemented a stringent interview process in choosing its representatives for the 2013-14 assembly to ensure those selected would be the most committed to student government. "We really looked for people who had CSG experience, showed a serious passion for CSG and also were committed to coming to all the meetings (including summer assembly)," Dickstein said. "If a representative is not showing up and not holding up their end of the bargain, we will not take that lightly." In reference to the faltering attendance records of representatives in the winter assembly, Dickstein said he thought that forUM representativeswould not be a reason for unachieved quorum. "We really expect to have all the candidates show up often," he said. "We're so far very happy how the representatives have been with their participation and we expect that to continue." Dickstein said individual forUM candidates,whilecommittedtotheir party's greater executive platforms, would work to accomplish their individual campaign promises through their resolutions and the backing of their party platform. "What's really important to the party, we think, is to make sure that we follow through on campaign promises," he said. "Whether that is in line with the platforms that everyone ran on, we hope to make sure that those are seen through." Out of over 100 elected representatives in the CSG assembly, 32 are members of forUM. Resolutions introduced and approved by all forUM representatives would have a clear majority in the house and would therefore be passed regardless of opposition from representatives from other parties. "We have a very strong majority (of representatives) and we'll have that continue throughout the summer as well," Dickstein said. "And so we see forUM being a very strong force in CSG but we understand that we're going to have to work across party lines." Business senior Michael Proppe, CSG President, said he didn't think party politics would impede productivity. The multiple parties merely served as a marketing tool during elections and would not cause a dissent within the house. "I am confident that we will (work together)," Proppe said. "Once yougetelected your loyalty is not so much to the party anymore as it is to what you ran on and what is the best for the studenthbody." S II]A' 14FLUENT IN UKRAINIAN or Rus- sian?
