I. Call to order, 12:15 pm
II. Reports
-
Minutes: MOTION was made, seconded and
unanimously approved to accept the Minutes of the February 15, 2003, as
distributed.
-
Financial: Joe Marshall gave a
detailed (and humorous) report on financial activities, explaining that a
checking account was being set up for AR01 as a depository for the
turn-back dues received from USPA to date. Relating specifics, Joe said
that a banking error had deducted and unconscionable amount for check
printing, and that this was being remedied.
-
MOTION was made, seconded and
unanimously approved to permit single signature endorsement by any officer
of any check in an amount less than $250 and to require the signature of
the Treasurer plus one additional officer on all checks of $250 or more.
-
Joe also explained options related to
establishing a “legal identity” for AR01, questioning if the
membership preferred to legally “incorporate” (associated annual fee
believed to be approx. $50) or would rather charter as an “unincorporated
association.” Joe elaborated on the benefits and pitfalls of each type of
organization, the need for a Tax I.D. number, and posed several questions
about the need, desirability and availability of insurance coverage and
its relationship to the types of liability incurred or reduced by
incorporating vs not.
-
Also discussed was the fact that since
AR01 is “the first” USPA Chapter, actions to be taken on this item of
business would, to some degree, be precedent setting and thus close
communication with Jan (USPA Exec.Dir.) was advised.
-
MOTION was made, seconded and
unanimously approved for Joe to check further into the idea of
incorporation and report back.
III. Old Business
-
Jerry Conner is looking into the “Private
Seller" tax regulations issue and will have more on this subject at
the next meeting.
-
Joe & Jim reported on the on cell phone
tower encroachment, noting that it was likely that the tower would be
constructed as planned, but that the AR01 Resolution opposing it and other
corresponding actions were being taken under advisement by FAA officials
and a final decision had not yet been made.
-
Jim Collom opened the floor to nominations
for AR01 Officers, to serve a one year term, beginning July 1, 2003.
There being no nominations from the floor:
-
MOTION was made, seconded and
unanimously approved for the slate of officers nominated at the February
15, 2003, meeting to be elected by acclamation, being:
Jim Collom, president
Timothy Posey, vice president
Joe Marshall, treasurer
Christine Weiss, secretary
-
MOTION was made, seconded and
unanimously approved for Joe Marshal to serve as the official
AR01 delegate to the USPA board of directors, with the next meeting of
this group set for Branson, MO, September 4-7, 2003.
