EB -36 (Marinello) The Executive Board authorizes President Beatriz Marinello to sign the contract with the architect in Crossville. Passed. 3-2 In favor: Marinello, Shaughnessy and Bauer; Opposed: Brady and Schultz; Absent: Hanke and Shutt

Don Schultz said he voted against it because there was no written legal sign-off.

Beatriz replied that they got a verbal assessment from Harry Sabine who is an attorney and it is a standard contract.

EB -37 (Bauer) For the 2005 election for submission of candidate statements for Executive Board, all candidates must comply with the written deadline for submission of candidate statements and material. Requests for exceptions to the written guidelines must be made in writing to the Secretary and state a reason that an exception should be granted. Any exception to the written guidelines must be approved by a majority of members of the Executive Board. Passed. 3-2 In favor: Marinello, Shaughnessy and Bauer; Opposed: Brady and Schultz; Absent: Hanke and Shutt

Randy Bauer said that he thinks it is important that all of us abide by written guide lines and that we don’t grant exceptions on a case by case basis unless there is some kind of organizational standard that is met and that is what this does. It says that if there are going to be exceptions granted, they have to be approved by the Board rather than any one individual

Don Schultz said that he must advise the Board that this motion is an assumption of authority that the Board does not have.

Randy Bauer countered by saying that he had two lawyers review his motion and they said it did not violate their authority and was appropriate.
