On Tuesday, the Student Government Association voted “yes” to approve funding for a new deck in Bayou Park. The maximum amount that can be spent on the deck is $40,000. The funding will also go toward repairing the walkway to the deck.

The plan is to build a 26-foot deck that can seat up to 25 people. The deck will also feature built-in lighting.

During Friday’s Lunch with the President, SGA President Kaitlin Neal-Arnett asked Chief Communication Officer of Public Information Lisa Miller to add turtle feeders to the deck .

Miller suggested that signs showing the different turtle species should be added to the deck as well. No final decision was made in regard to the idea.
