2005 and BEYOND-CAMPUS RECYCLING PROGRAM AGREEMENT

AS per the ASUO Executive Memo, on June 23, 2005, the Campus
Recycling Program Agreement has been transferred to verification
through the ASUO PFC process. The Program budget will continue to
be funded through this base contract but approval of contracted items
has been transferred to the PFC thus negating the necessity for annual signatures.

This contract was signed annually from 1991-2004. The Campus
Recycling Program has been budgeted through the PFC process since
2000. The agreement is no longer necessary to ensure line item
budgeting and adherence to this document. From June 30, 2005
forward, the PFC process will act as the contracting entity.
This document will still serve to be the guiding document for ASUO
budgeting of the Campus Recycling Program.

I. INTRODUCTION

PROGRAM along with University Housing and Facilities Services to ensure that the
recycling needs of both students and housing were met. The measure read as follows:

Student/Faculty Advisory Board is eliminated in good faith that the responsible for
