v     Agenda Review: The agenda for this special meeting is for election of officers and election of Chairs for various committees.

 

Pete Lashenka passed out to the Board members for their review a copy of the Bylaws describing the responsibilities for each elected officer and committee chairs.  Pete said that Glenn Levine, former Treasurer, has agreed to help with the transition of responsibilities to the newly elected treasurer.  Kathy Greene said that the computer files would need to be transferred as well.

 

v     Election of Officers

 

President:  Jim Jackson nominated Pete Lashenka as President, Idella Vinho seconded the motion, and the Board approved unanimously.  Pete Lashenka elected President.

 

Vice President:  Jim Jackson nominated Blas Contreras for Vice President, nomination seconded by Pete Lashenka.  Kathy Greene nominated Wayne Hatten for Vice President, nomination seconded by Frank Slevinski.  The Board then voted for the two candidates.  All in favor of Blas Contreras were Douglas Acker, Idella Vinho, and Jim Jackson; all in favor of Wayne Hatten were Shelley Green, Kathy Greene, Pete Lashenka, Dave Mastran, Frank Slevinski, and Tom Wajdowicz.  Wayne Hatten elected Vice President.

 

Secretary:  Frank Slevinski nominated Kathy Greene but Kathy declined.

 

Jim Jackson then passed out to the Board members a job description of the administrative/secretarial function of the Board as it was in past years.  This job took a lot of pressure off the Board and made things function a lot smoother.   Board read and discussed job description and pay history for the position.  Pete Lashenka asked if the association could afford whatever it is we decide.  Kathy Greene said right now we have to decide if a Board member wants to take the position of Secretary, and that once committee members get jobs they must be responsible for their part.  Pete Lashenka stated that part of the role of the Secretary is to define the role of the clerical help and then the Board will hire someone.  If the Board hires an administrative person they will assist the Secretary position on the Board.  Kathy Greene agreed to take on the newsletter. The bookkeeping responsibilities stay with the Treasurer.  Pete indicated to the Board that there is a possibility that Bonnie McGuire may not continue doing minutes after January 2006.

 

Dave Mastran nominated Chris Cox for the position of Secretary and Blas Contreras seconded the nomination.  Chris Cox was not in attendance so a vote cannot be done.  The meeting went on a short break so that Pete Lashenka could call Chris Cox on the phone to see if she is interested in the position.  Chris was hesitant to take on the role, but is willing to do so if there are no other candidates and with the condition that within 6 months if she is overwhelmed she will have to resign from the position.  The Board approved unanimously.  Chris Cox elected Secretary.

 

Treasurer:  Tom Wajdowicz nominated Jim Jackson but Jim declined.  The Board discussed the responsibilities of the position of Treasurer and how many hours may be involved.  Pete Lashenka stated that we have no volunteers and Kathy Greene asked why?  Pete said the role of Treasurer is a lot of work but not as much as the role of Secretary.  Quick books does make it easier.  Blas Contreras suggested that we hire an accounting company to do it.  Discussion among the Board pursued until Pete Lashenka asked Wayne if he would like to be Treasurer and step down from his newly elected position as Vice President.  Wayne Hatten then resigned from the position of Vice President.  Wayne Hatten nominated Kathy Greene as Vice President, Idella Vinho seconded the motion, and the Board approved unanimously.  Frank Slevinski then nominated Wayne Hatten for Treasurer, Dave Mastran seconded the nomination, and the Board approved unanimously.  Wayne Hatten elected Treasurer.

 

In summary, the elected officers are President, Pete Lashenka; Vice President, Kathy Greene; Secretary, Chris Cox; Treasurer, Wayne Hatten.
