5. Area 41 Voting items:<\/p>\n
AGENDA ITEM: 2011-1-22, #001, Remote Communities Vote<\/p>\n
Change the name of the Remote Communities Committee to the Special Needs and Accessibilities Committee.<\/p>\n
9 for.
\n0 against.
\nItem passes.<\/p>\n
AGENDA ITEM: 2011-1-22, #002, Report & Charter Vote Guidelines for Re-Districting Discussion-item says \u201cmust\u201d all over the place. Districts should not be told what they have to to. Does not uphold inverted triangle. Districts should be telling Area what to do, not Area telling Districts what to do.<\/p>\n
2 for.
\n6 against.
\nItem does not pass as is, district as a whole wants to pass the item if the \u201cmust\u201d wording is changed (e.g. to should).<\/p>\n
AGENDA ITEM: 2011-1-22, #004, Finance Vote<\/p>\n
Raise the mileage rate for Area 41 from $0.15 to $0.20 per mile.<\/p>\n
Discussion-<\/p>\n
For-9
\nAgainst-0.
\nItem passes.<\/p>\n
AGENDA ITEM: 2011-1-22, #006, Web Site Vote<\/p>\n
Area 41 accepts the Website Guidelines as written and supported by your Area 41 Website Committee.<\/p>\n
Discussion-there were 9 for.
\n0 against.
\nItem passes.<\/p>\n
AGENDA ITEM: 2011-1-22, #007, Agenda Vote<\/p>\n
Select an Area 41 District to host the Area 41 2012 Reunion<\/p>\n
7 for.
\n0 against.
\nItem passes.<\/p>\n
AGENDA ITEM: 2009-09-19 #033 Vote<\/p>\n
Area 41 shall meet three times per year in the months of March, July and November, beginning in 2013. The Reunion shall continue to be held in June.<\/p>\n
Discussion-concern with the gap of time between November and March, so new committee chairs wouldn\u2019t meet until March. Suggestion-have a January meeting every other year, the year following the elections.<\/p>\n
This change would make one Area meeting prior to Delegate going to the GSC, and it would be hard to move voting items to GSC that would prove difficult.<\/p>\n
Moved directly to a vote without becoming an agenda item.<\/p>\n
Concern for farmer participation in July, due to wheat harvest.<\/p>\n
With all of these concerns, district feels this item should go back to committee to explore.<\/p>\n
Although the voting item has a good intent,<\/p>\n
For-0
\nAgainst-9
\nItem failed.<\/p>\n
AGENDA ITEM: 2010-03-27, #11, Agenda Vote<\/p>\n
Review the concept of Area 41 4-Corner\u2019s Workshops to decide if they are still viable and, if so, develop guidelines for timing, location, format, content, participation, and cost.<\/p>\n
Discussion-there is no action with this voting item, it calls for a review which is what the committee should do. Workshop costs (hotels, food) will vary by region.<\/p>\n
For: 0
\nAgainst-8
\nItem Failed.<\/p>\n
New business:<\/p>\n
None.<\/p>\n
Next business meeting will be held March 20th, 2011<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
