By-Law Committee – Recommendation and Vote
1.
After discussion, there was a suggested change on Standing Rule #11
about fundraisers. Want to change language to exclude Directors from
needing board approval. Susan pointed out that the by-laws affect the
booster club, not the band. Robin mentioned that if changes are made,
the vote can’t be done for 30 days. Mrs. Funk moved to accept the above
change, Susan seconded. The motion was to change Standing Rule #11 to
read:
“With the exception of a Band Director or a BISD initiated fundraiser,
all fundraising activities associated with the Brazoswood Band
Booster Club or any group affiliated with the Brazoswood Band
Booster Club must be reviewed and approved by the Board prior to the
start of any fundraising activity.”
2.
Much discussion followed about the changes to the by-laws on the
issue of Board Members - especially removing Color guard rep from the
board to a non-voting committee member. Lots of concern that without a
voting member the Colorguard will not be well represented. Mr Koch
explained that with the hiring of a new Colorguard director, that person
will be responsible for many of the duties which previously fell to a
volunteer Booster Club member. It would be better for all money to go
through the new director, and Ms. Walden will serve as a backup. Jeff
explained that the change was made not to exclude, but was supposed to
strengthen the colorguard by having a director on the board and the
added benefit of the non-standing committee to support the director.
Further questions about removing hospitality and colorguard from board,
but adding Capital Improvement. Jeff explained that the committee looked
at not just whether the budget changed year by year, but also the year
long responsibilities involved. A vote was called on above motion “With the exception
of a Band Director or a BISD initiated fundraiser, all fundraising
activities associated with the Brazoswood Band Booster Club or
any group affiliated with the Brazoswood Band Booster Club must
be reviewed and approved by the Board prior to the start of any
fundraising activity.” -motion failed with 19 for, 28
against.
3.
Shane Pirtle made a motion to approve the proposed by-laws as they
stand. David McKelroy seconded. Motion carried with 32 for and 10
against.
To
view the new by-laws, go HERE.
4.
David Mckelroy moved to propose an amendment to Standing Rule #11 in
the newly approved By-Laws and Standing Rules as previously mentioned.
Mike Morris seconded. Motion carried. Booster Club will vote on proposed
amendment next month. The proposed Standing Rule #11 reads, “With
the exception of a Band Director or a BISD initiated fundraiser, all
fundraising activities associated with the Brazoswood Band Booster
Club or any group affiliated with the Brazoswood Band Booster
Club must be reviewed and approved by the Board prior to the start
of any fundraising activity.”
