Motion #1:To validate for the record the pay increase for a special worker as discussed providing compensation for up to 15 hours a week. (Larry)
Background: The special worker has successfully completed a 2 month training and probationary period and the understanding we had provided for a review of the pay rate and number of hours required.
Motion 2: To validate for the record the expenditure of $2,500 for two members of the Executive Board to travel to the ACA Distribution Center in Signal Hill California, tentatively scheduled for August 17-20, 2014. (Mary Jo)
Background: No one from the Board has visited the Distribution Center since December 2013. With a new manager in place, it is now an appropriate time to make a visit to meet him in person and do the Board's yearly process inventory.
Motion #3: To validate for the record expenditures of approximately $500 for plumbing repairs at the Distribution Center. (Mary Jo)
Background: Along with some needed replacements of fixtures, it was discovered that there is an overflow drain from the bathroom hot water heater that ends at a spot that could potentially damage some literature and cause an electrical outlet to short out. This drain needs to be rerouted near a building exit.
Motion #4: That the Board validate on the record their authorization for the chair (Larry A.) send a cease and desist letter to a member who was announcing on a phone line that they would send the digital ACA Fellowship Text (e-BRB) to anyone who requested it. (Larry)
Background: After hearing of a possible copyright infringement, the Chair solicited a copy to confirm that the material being sent was indeed ACA WSO copyrighted materials, which it was. The WSO is duty bound to protect the fellowship's interest in its property.
