General Membership Meeting
May 01, 2010
Meeting was called to order at 5:30 P.M. by President Charles Hudecek followed with an
invocation given by Frank Bellizzi.
Roll call of officers by Secretary Mary Osborne found all present except Lowell
Roberts.
Unfinished Business:
President Charles Hudecek: 3 bills were stopped
in the legislature by hard work, vigilance
and flesh pressing. They included
H.R. 2310 which would have had an adverse effect on
locksmiths.
Vice President Dusty Brummitt: Nothing at
present.
Secretary Mary Osborne: Minutes from last meeting were posted on our
website and extras
were available earlier in the meeting.
Having been read by the membership, a motion was
made by Ginny Weber and seconded by Gary
Frame to accept them as written. The motion
passed unanimously.
Treasurer Loretta Loomis: Financial report handed out earlier and having
had enough time
to read and discuss it, a motion was made
by Brad Osborne and seconded by Ginny Weber to
accept the report. The motion was passed
by the membership present.
Past President Mike McGrew: Nothing at this time.
Sergeant-at-Arms Matt Kelm: Nothing at this
time.
Editor Mike McGrew: Nothing at present.
Education Director John Ruperd: Classes have
been scheduled for the August meeting
(Ingersoll-Rand in the morning with CCTV and C&C
Distributors in the afternoon).
Director West Frank Bellizzi: Nothing at the
present time.
Director Central Gary Frame: Nothing at this time.
Director East Jim Loomis: Nothing at this time.
Legislative Action Committee Chairman Lowell Roberts: Not present.
Licensing Education and Training Committee Chairman Dusty Brummitt:
The state board
approved 5 licenses in March and April.
New Business:
President: We will need a nominating committee for the November election
of Board
of Directors. After a quick
telephone call to
by Loretta and second by Brad Osborne, the
membership present elected Lowell & Jackie
as nominating committee
chairpersons. Jim Loomis then volunteered to again create a
fantastic swap meet for our August meeting (If
you miss this one you might not have a
second chance at a bargain on what you
need). The motion was made by Ginny Weber and
seconded by Clarence Weber to accept Jim's offer
to head the swap meet this year.
Motion carried unanimously.
The Construction Industry Coalition has asked us to join them in their
endeavors. As
their agenda at present is similar to ours
this would be an advantageous move for us.
Their dues are $750 per year. Because we would be joining
midyear our dues will be
prorated for the year. Motion to withdraw
from OSAE (which has not worked out as we
had hoped) and then join the Construction
Industry Coalition was made by Clarence Weber
and seconded by Mike Kerby. The
motion was then passed unanimously by the membership
present.
HB 2320 was brought to the table to correct some things in the licensing law,
but once
again AAA has decided to use it as a forum to
exempt themselves from the law. We all
need to contact our State Representatives to
stop that from happening. Steve Martin is
the State Representative pushing for AAA's
exemption!!!
Vice President: Nothing at this time.
Secretary: Application for membership (Kara Stevens) brought to the
members where she
outlined her experience. After the
Sergeant-at-Arms escorted her from the room, her
application was discussed and a motion was
made by Mike McGrew and seconded by Ginny
Weber to accept her into membership. The
motion carried. She was then brought back
into the room and sworn in by President
Charles Hudecek. (yes
Charles you will get better
at it as you are privileged to swear more
in!)
Treasurer: Bills for this weekend were brought forth with a motion made
by Clarence
Weber and seconded by Mike Kerby to pay
these bills and overwhelmingly approved by the members.
Past President: Nothing at present.
Sergeant-at-Arms: Nothing at this time.
Editor: Working on producing a quarterly newsletter to come out in
between meetings
and fine tuning the website to make it
better and more readable.
Education Director: November class will be on access control. The
Friday before the
February meeting Ken Person of Peterson MFG. will be extending an
all day class to us.
As Ken is a friend of this organization and has put on many
fascinating and educational
classes for us before, we know you will want to
attend because this will be another great class.
Director West: Nothing at present.
Director Central: Nothing at this time.
Director East: Thanks to Deb Hudecek and Crew
for all the good food this weekend.
Legislative Action Committee Chairman: Not Present.
Licensing Education and Training Committee Chairman: More members need to
attend the
monthly state licensing board Meeting.
Good of the Order: We all need to reach out to members and nonmembers to
let them know
what is happening in our profession both on
the local, state, national and organizational
level.
Many door prizes were given away that were donated by IDN-Acme, Charles Hudecek and Buddy D.
Lock. A hearty thanks from all of us.
