Representatives of Undergraduate Student Government have served on all of the major planning efforts and community committees sponsored by Campus Partners, including the development of South Campus Gateway.  As an example, printed at right is the resolution that the USG Senate adopted June 2, 2004, regarding the management of the Gateway parking facility.

Resolution to Develop a Buck-ID Payment Option for the Gateway Parking Garage

Sponsors: Senator Doug Wagner (South Campus), Senator Sean Krebs (Diversity), Senator Angie Schmitt (Off-Campus), Senator Vijay Sharma (Mansfield Campus), Senator Nick Benson (SBS)

PASSED: 44 YEA, 1 NAY, 0 ABSTAIN

Whereas, the Undergraduate Student Government represents all undergraduate students of the Ohio
State University; and

Whereas, the experience of students is a primary concern of the Campus Partners planning efforts,
and the Campus Partners' Student Advisory Board solicits student participation through periodic
forums, internships, work-study opportunities, presentations to student organizations and surveys of
undergraduate and graduate students; and

Whereas, the Gateway parking garage will have 1,200 parking spaces and will serve the patrons and
employees of the Gateway businesses, the residents of the Gateway housing, and the people who work in the 88,000 square feet of offices space most of whom will be university employees; and

Whereas, Campus Partners owns the Gateway parking garage, approves policies for the Gateway parking garage, and is responsible for contracting with a parking management company to establish the
parking and payment options for the Gateway parking garage;

Therefore, Let it Be Resolved, that the Undergraduate Student Government strongly recommends Campus Partners to develop a permanent Buck ID payment option for the Gateway parking garage, and to contract with a parking management company that will accept Buck ID as a substitute for on-hand cash payment for every of the 1,200 individual parking spaces of the Gateway parking garage.
