Explanation for Rule # 14 Approved Nov. 19th, 2011 – introduced just prior to presentation of the rule and its vote to approve.

The motion to pay for Executive Officer (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer) rooms at quarterly business meetings was made by Mr. Odie Treshner and approved by the body at the May 2000 meeting.  At the August 2000 meeting, the Secretary publicly apologized for failing to record or generate minutes for the May 2000 meeting. (though not stated, the apology was also printed in the August 2000 newsletter), therefore, a permanent record isn’t available.  Treasurer records support the process beginning as of August 2000 meeting.  This re-affirmation vote and rule generation are intended to permanently record and clarify this issue.

Motion was made and seconded to re-affirm paying for the rooms of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer.  The motion passed 15 yeas and 2 nays.  M. Grant spoke against it.

 

  Discussion; M. Grant, why have you all not given him this info before.  M. Grant who made the motion, and how many votes.
