[Lnc-business] E-MAIL BALLOT: Hinkle motion to purchase a building

[Jillian A. Mack]

I vote "nay" because of the flawed language regarding the 20% down payment
which was discovered by Mr. Wiener.  I look forward to a new motion with the
corrected language very soon.

 

Regards,

Jillian

Region 3 Representative

Nay!

 

I'm an reissuing my vote here as this message is associated with the
"official" mail ballot issued by the pro-tem Secretary rather than the
version issued by the Chair.

 

I hope this repeated vote does not confuse anyone.

SUBJECT:  E-MAIL BALLOT ON HINKLE MOTION TO PURCHASE A BUILDING

Text of Motion:

Moved, that the LNC approve the purchase of an office in the greater
Washington, D.C. area, to be named in honor of David F. Nolan, contingent on
the following conditions:

.         A minimum of 20% of the down payment shall be raised from
dedicated contributions.  If a portion of that is in the form of pledges,
the pledges must be converted to cash before a purchase contract and
mortgage agreement are finalized.

.         The monthly payment of principal, interest, and OTM (Overhead,
Taxes, and Maintenance) shall not exceed 75% of our current lease payments
at the Watergate complex.

This motion will constitute authority to incur a mortgage if the above
conditions are met and if this motion passes by the necessary two-thirds
vote as specified in the Libertarian Party's Bylaws.

The final decision on what property to buy shall be ratified by the LNC's
Executive Committee by a majority vote once the above conditions are met.
