Board Meeting Transcripts 2004

P R O C E E D I N G S

CHAIRMAN MEITES: I will call the meeting of the operations and regulations committee to order. I thank all of you who ventured out this morning for attending. I have one suggestion. I come from a place that's far colder than Washington, and those of you who wear scarfs, I recommend you wear them inside your jacket and not outside your jacket. That's my tip for the day.Okay. Our committee has a brief agenda today.

MS. BeVIER: What would be do without you?

CHAIRMAN MEITES: A little bit here, a little bit there. First, I ask for a motion to approve our agenda.

M O T I O N

MS. BeVIER: So moved.

MR. McKAY: Second.

CHAIRMAN MEITES: It's approved. Then I ask for a motion with regard to the minutes of our meeting of November 22nd.

M O T I O N

MS. BeVIER: So moved.

MR. McKAY: Second.

CHAIRMAN MEITES: All right. And the minutes are approved. The one substantive item we have on our agenda for today is a consideration and possible -- an action and possible change as to LSC's organizational chart. This item was placed on the agenda in response to some comments that arose at our last meeting, and in particular some questions about the reporting lines for the treasurer. Of course, since our last meeting, we have a new president. And in consultation with Vic, I have learned that it has historically been the president's prerogative to determine the organizational reporting of the staff, with the exception that if there are to be any appointments of officers, that is to be done by the board, and if there's to be any change in the responsibilities of the officers, that is also for the board. In light of this new information, I'd suggest to my fellow committee members that we defer this item until the next meeting and ask our new president if she would, at our next meeting, to inform us for informational purposes of the organization that she has chosen to put into effect, and to report to us if the new organization requires any board action.Is that satisfactory?

MS. BeVIER: It's satisfactory to me.

MR. McKAY: It is.

CHAIRMAN MEITES: It is? All right. So we will refer this matter to the new president of the Corporation. The next item is public comment on any matters. Is there any public comment?

(No response.)

CHAIRMAN MEITES: If there's not, is there any other business or new business before the committee? (No response.)

M O T I O N

MS. BeVIER: I move we adjourn.

MR. McKAY: Second.

MS. MERCADO: This is an historic meeting.

CHAIRMAN MEITES: Pardon me?

MS. MERCADO: This is an historic meeting. It's the shortest ops and regs meeting we've ever had.

CHAIRMAN MEITES: It's because of the cold. No, it's skillful leadership.

We are adjourned.

(Whereupon, at 10:04 a.m., the meeting was adjourned.)
