ILR BOARD MINUTES
June 8, 2009
 

Meeting called to order at 8:04pm EDT. Mark Smith, Kathi McKinney, Father Ryan Scott, Mary Jo Miller, Kristy Brown and Jan Wassink present

According to ILR By-laws, the newly elected board member is officially installed on the board at the first regular or special meeting after the election. In accordance with these rules, Father Ryan Scott was installed as the new board member tonight, June 8, 2009.

Governing Board Committee communication was reviewed and tabled until the face-to-face.

Recall Petition: The board had been made aware of a recall petition that is being circulated by an ILR member. The board reviewed the pertinent sections of the by-laws, section 5.10 Removal of a Director and section 5.11.6 Voting Procedure. If and when this or any petition is submitted to the ILR office, all signatures will need to be verified to confirm that all signatures are those of dues paying members of the ILR and they personally signed the petition, and after those requirements are satisfied, a recall election packet will be prepared. Jan will contact the ILR Montana attorney regarding any additional procedures if a petition is submitted to the ILR office. The ILR Board and ILR office will have no involvement in this or any petition until the time that it is submitted to the ILR.

The personal opinions of the ILR Board were requested on this matter, and none were given as this was an official board call and the official policy of the ILR Board is to follow the By-Laws of the ILR.

Jan is on vacation until June 15, 2009 and will complete the agenda items for the Face-to-Face and send them to the ILR Board when they are completed.

Meeting Adjourned: 9:14 pm EDT motion by Kathi, second by Mary Jo; motion passed unanimously.
 

Respectfully submitted,

Kristy Brown, ILR Secretary
