This is what happened at the RCSC BOD Meeting on January 27th, 2022



 



RCSC Board of Directors Meeting – Thursday, January 27, 2022


I just watched the recent board meeting video, and noticed a few things:

  1. It was interesting that there was never a vote to approve the agenda! Approval isn't even listed on the agenda.
  2. I was happy to hear that they didn't "approve" the Treasurer's Report and only filed it for audit. (Note: the only Treasurers Report that the board should actually "approve" is the annual one compiled and submitted by the accountants who performed the annual audit see RONR 48:24)
  3. The motion to end debate (called Previous Question) was passed with only a majority vote but a 2/3rds vote is what was required. (See RONR 16:5 (7)) (See video at 1:30:00)

And after watching the report from the IT department you would have thought that the chair would have ordered a special meeting to address the issues that were presented? In accordance with Article V, §5, a written request from 3 board members can call a Special Session. I think it's important enough that if a Special Session isn't called by the president, then three members of the board should submit a written request and call for one to address the funding of new IT equipment.

But basically, it was another wasted meeting where none of the members' wishes were granted!
