Archived info - RLF previous background info
Associated Project(s):This fund was originally called for in the 2010 iCAP, as the “clean energy fund.” It was established in Fiscal Year 2012, with funding from the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) and the Office of the Chancellor. Within the first year, the Office of the President committed additional funds.
With input from the campus community, Facilities & Services, the SSC, the Office of Sustainability, and the Office of the Chancellor worked through the details for selecting projects. The agreement about the process was signed in November 2011.

With input from the campus community, Facilities & Services, the SSC, the Office of Sustainability, and the Office of the Chancellor worked through the details for selecting projects. The agreement about the process was signed in November 2011. According to the agreement, any grant funds received for RLF projects in campus-funded utility buildings will be allocated entirely to the RLF. Thus, the fund can grow over time. Additionally, the campus agreed to match any future additional commitments from the SSC.
If an Auxiliary unit is interested in using the Revolving Loan Fund for a utility conservation project, a simple Memo of Understanding is needed to allow the repayment through utility savings over time.

weekly update
Associated Project(s):Hello all, Last week was a little weird, but great. We had some strange fluctuations in attendance that went against normal attendance/weather patterns. We sold 1 bike for $140, 1 build-a-bike for $45, 2 memberships for $50, and grossed $768.80. I ran out of room upfront so I started putting for sale bikes in the back of the shop. My goal is to have half of the storage area be refurbished bikes by spring so we are ready for the rush. The hydraulic disc brake class went very well. Matt Crosby from Neutral came early and helped setup as well as publicized the event. We have 5 people in attendance and everyone learned a lot. We may have a second class to go deeper into bleeding and lever...Expand »

weekly update
Associated Project(s):Hello all, This past week went well. We sold 2 bikes for $230, one membership for $25, and grossed $475. We were able to represent the center at the ISSS open house. The bike registration database is completed and we are seeking approval from all parties to launch! We built more bikes. We are at about 40. I was able to make some head way in organizing the shop. There are so many built bikes now that they are becoming a nuisance. I did more work on the blasting cabinet. It has already proved useful, but the air filter unit that came with it is not working well and we may have to purchase new filters.

This week I will be holding a class on disc brakes due to requests by students. I will send an e-mail about it to membership. I will work on the air filter unit for the blasting cabinet. I will also be building more bikes for the spring rush. There is an international student safety day on the 24th that we will be participating in. I will be preparing materials for that as well as seeing if we can do some mechanical demos.

Campus Waste Study
"We are conducting some research on the campus waste hauling process and I am looking for some help. I need workers for a project that will last for one week, paying $10 per hour. In this project I am looking for people to ride along on the waste collection routes to record how full the dumpsters are prior to being emptied. I have three routes to cover. The first starts at 3am and runs until 11:30am. The other two routes start at 6:30am and run until 3pm." - Bart Bartels
