[Lnc-business] Draft 9/29/18-9/30/18 Minutes (versions 3 and 3A)

Alicia Mattson alicia.mattson at lp.org
Thu Nov 29 20:59:43 EST 2018


<CAH> Note that although Ms. Mattson noted that my amendment to add
"statement of principles" to the employment manual amendment discussion
passed by a show of hands 13-0 in reviewing the recording it was without
objection - no vote taken. </CAH>


Ah, it looks like when I turned my hand-written notes into an email, I
referenced the wrong sentence in that paragraph.  The 13-0 total was on the
final sentence of the paragraph, "The amended Mattson amendment PASSED by a
show of hands" rather than on the prior sentence which was without
objection, as you recorded.

For the updated version of the minutes, I have only a couple of additional
editorial notes for the main body:

p. 9, the words "was added" seem to be missing to the sentence about adding
5 minutes to Mr. Hagan's report.

p. 29, has duplicate wording back-to-back in the sentence, "The Merced
amendment PASSED by a show of hands with a vote with a vote of 12-1."

This is the first chance we've had to review the appendices in place.

Appendix A lists both a dog as though he is a person, and a curse phrase
nickname for one of the attendees.

The Appendix G header reached back into the Appendix F section, so that
both show as Appendix G.  Word did that to me frequently, even after I had
de-linked the headers between the two sections.

Appendix F (Secretary's report) updated the co-sponsors on email ballot
2018-12, but Mr. Phillips is still missing from the co-sponsor email ballot
2018-15.

The staff report is mangled in Appendix H.  It starts with several copies
of the first pages of the ED's report.  The submissions from other staff
members tend to show only the first page and then go back and repeat the
first portion of the ED's report again.

Appendix I seems to be missing page 2 of that report.

For the benefit of my LNC colleagues, note that Appendix N (Historical
Preservation Committee report) now is a 39 page document, though the
version sent to us prior to the meeting was 12 pages.  If you reviewed the
previously sent one at the time, know that there is new material now.

The manner used to assemble the appendices resulted in some of them no
longer being text searchable and copy/paste-able.  No need to spend the
time to do it for the draft, but perhaps for the final version they could
use the OCR treatment.

        Attached please find the latest draft minutes for the last
     meeting
        incorporating all feedback received so far received both on the
     list
        and by private email.
        This version contains other improvements as well:
        All the appendixes are included and are within the document
     structure
        itself so that every page has a consistent header and footer and
     the
        appendixes are included in the table of contents (which itself is
     a new
        addition not included in past minutes - when finalized I will
     make the
        table of contents "hot-linked" in the pdf so that any member can
     just
        click in the TOC and go right to the page - similarly to the
     upgrade I
        did with the Policy Manual.)
        Anticipating the LNC might want to include hand vote totals
     (though
        certainly not required by RONR) I have also attached an alternate
        version (version 3A) that includes that information.  This
     information
        was not captured by me during the meeting and thus I do prefer
     NOT
        including it in these minutes but making it a practice for future
        minutes if that is what the LNC wishes. Note that although Ms.
     Mattson
        noted that my amendment to add "statement of principles" to the
        employment manual amendment discussion passed by a show of hands
     13-0
        in reviewing the recording it was without objection - no vote
     taken.
        I had included them in my December minutes when I was acting pro
     tem
        but received feedback from former secretaries and LNC members
     that this
        information was not required and since it wasn't included for
     every
        hand vote that it created a consistency issue and a question why
     not
        noted for each vote and did not include in my July minutes.  If
     the LNC
        wishes these to be included in the future, it is my position it
     needs
        for be done for every hand raise vote and not just here and
     there.
        A suggestion was made that this is some anti-transparency
     position that
        I inconsistently hold (and I wish good intentions would be
     presumed
        rather than bad), but it is not since numbers alone is not
     transparent
        - a roll call vote is and any member can ask for that at any
     time.  It
        is the same reason that we do not grill members on "without
     objection"
        to determine if that means actual affirmative consent or passive
        consent.
        These past few days have been frustrating as it seems the minutes
     have
        become a political game.  I would hope this is the last time (I
     hoped
        last time was).  It is not serving anyone and is incredibly
     childish to
        observers.  We are all professionals and all know how to
     excellently
        perform our jobs.
        I solicit feedback on this version prior to the meeting so that
     we are
        not using valuable meeting time on administrative tasks. The next
     set
        will be submitted ahead of the auto-approval date absent an
     unexpected
        medical situation- which unfortunately I cannot control.
        If anyone would like to be involved in the preparation or
     pre-review, I
        am more than glad to include you.  I already utilize the wisdom
     and
        experience of former secretary Joe Dehn and former vice chair
     Chuck
        Moulton in my preparation process.
