Old
Business
Don, N1PMB questioned
the legality of the last months vote concerning the options
that the club received from the New Building Committee.
He stated that at a previous meeting, the club had voted
to send out an informational package to all members by
mail, explaining the options forwarded by the building
committee. This had not been done; and for this reason,
the vote was an illegal one. Discussions took place with
pros and cons. Don stated that this action, would probably
not change the outcome of the vote, but was still necessary
to satisfy the parliamentary rules that the club is operating
under. It was left that information packages would be sent
out to all members.
New
Business
A motion was introduced by Armand,
W1BUG, that starting immediately, the Club Treasurer
would be the only person to act as “Liaison between
the Tower operator, and SEMARA" and results of discussion,
agreements, etc. will be reported back to the membership
for final approvals. No other person will be authorized
to discuss membership business with the tower operator
on behalf of SEMARA. A communication is to be forwarded
to the tower operator informing him of this procedure.
The motion passed unanimously.
A motion by Dave, W1DJG
to move up the July meeting failed. It was noted that the
July meeting would fall on the night after the fourth,
and is usually is a low turnout meeting.
A motion by Dave, W1DJG
that voting on the issue of the New Building should be
delayed until the August meeting. It passed 30 –
2.
For
the Good of the Club
Bob, K1KVV said that he
always needs input and tidbits about area happenings from
members. Photos are always welcome, and that they will
be inserted into Zero Beat editions.
Bob, K1KVV reminded all
that “KIDS DAY” is Saturday, June 16, at 2:00
PM. He asks that members bring kids to the event here at
the clubhouse.
Dave, K1JGV stated for
the record, that procrastination at this point in time
would push the schedule and building construction into
the New Year.
Don, N1PMB asked if the
New Building Committee could have numbers on construction
of building. He would like to see data on different sizes
and types.
