Consent Agenda


Newly proposed agenda items appear in the consent agenda. Any member present at the meeting may pull an item out of the consent agenda for discussion, at which point it goes under "New Business". If nobody objects to the solutions presented by the consent agenda, everything in the consent agenda passes by consensus. Items that have more than one proposed solution should be moved to the "New Business" section.

Any member may edit this wiki page and place an item on the agenda. However, discussion of agenda items should be done via Slack. The cut-off time for addition to or revision of the consent agenda items is 48 hours prior to the meeting. Please note, agenda items (Consent, New, or Old) that request spending $250 or more must include a section on "Relevance to our tax exempt purpose".

CA1 Move Board Member Elections (John Dubelko )

Problem:  Due to the pandemic the organization has prioritized other needs before those of the board member election that are to take place at the June 2020 member meeting.  

CA1 Consider migrating CC processor from Stripe to Affinipay (Wells Fargo) (Mark R Millsap )

Problem: Paying a 20% premium on monthly fee for Wild Apricot service due to surcharge they have on CC processor for automatic payments.  This premium is waived for organizations using their hand-picked processor Affinipay.  We had been reluctant to change processors in the past due to the fact that there would be certain unknown % of folks who wouldn't re-key CC info in to move manually.  We have recently been contacted by Affinipay and they let us know that they can 'migrate' accounts without having to have end-users re-key CC info.   

Solution:  Appoint a committee, to include Treasurer, President and BOD Chair, to make decision on 'migrating' or continuing to pay the 20% premium.Solution:  Hold elections of two new board members at the Sep 2020 member Meeting.   

Relevance to our tax exempt status:  none

Motion:  Hold elections of two new board members at the Sep 2020 member Meeting. This temporally supersedes the standing rules dealing with elections and only applies to this year. The new board members will serve a modified term of office that will start on of October 1, 2020 and end on the normal cycle of July 1st 2022.
