[Lnc-business] DRAFT MINUTES JULY 27-28, 2019 V3

[Alicia Mattson]

Not all of the items I previously sent were incorporated.  Below is a list
of what remains.

p. 21, regarding the sentence, "Mr. Hagan moved to amend criterion number
three (3) by adding 'and must not be registered as a member of another
Party'" I believe this is an inaccurate representation of the motion. That
phrase was not to be added to the existing language of item 3, but it was
to replace the last portion of item 3, such that the full
sentence would read, "The candidate is legally qualified to hold the office
and must not be registered as a member of another Party."

p. 29, with my usual caveat that I don't believe extensive debate should be
included in the minutes, if it's going to be there then I would change the
description of my comments to be, "Ms. Mattson noted that there were
important gaps in this proposal such as: whether or not the $200,000 figure
is gross or net of Mr. Sarwark's pay, any limitation on the
number of hours for which we could be charged, distinction between
volunteer time spent by an elected chair as opposed to paid fundraiser
hours, and which revenues would be counted as new fundraising specifically
attributable to the new paid effort as opposed to baseline party revenues
which would occur without a paid fundraiser."

On p. 41 you added that Mr. Sarwark resumed the gavel, but that was added a
little too soon in the text.  My notes have it FOLLOWING the sentence,
"Without objection,
Mr. Phillips moved to postpone indefinitely" but before the section about
timing of LNC committee appointments, so just shift it one sentence down.

p. 42, regarding the sentence, "Without objection, Mr. Bishop-Henchman
moved that budget category 68-Candidates & Campaigns be increased..." - We
do not have a budget line 68, but the Candidates & Campaigns line is 60.

I don't understand your response to my v2 comments about the
Yes-No-ExpressAbstain-DidNotVote recording of the tallies of email
ballots.  You wrote, "With the vote counts, I keep getting contradictory
feedback, so I am going to make a decision on how I am going to report and
stick with it.  In a past report, I included yes-no-abstain-and did not
vote in the totals, and there was an objection to that.  But you are
correct, that such is a data point to be noted.  I am going to go back to
the YES-NO-ABSTAIN-DIDNOTVOTE format and leave it at that.  I can't please
everyone, but that to me seems to capture all the data."

I haven't been giving you contradictory feedback, and I don't recall anyone
else commenting on it at all.  I could copy/paste our prior discussions on
this topic, but in all of the prior sets of minutes you have done
Yes-No-Abstain (with abstain including both the express abstentions as well
as the passive abstentions), and now this one is being handled differently.
