New Rule, (Recommended to be Article III, Section 4 with current Section 4 and following moved down):
- All resignations shall be submitted in writing and delivered in person, by regular US Postal Service mail, or by electronic mail to the County Chairman or the Secretary.
Revision to Article VI, Section 1, and renamed to Article VI, Section 1A:
- All Standing Committees shall be composed of one (1) member appointed by the County Chairman and approved by the County Executive Committee. Standing Committees membership shall elect their own Committee Chairs, except Precinct Chair Vacancy and Rules and Resolutions and Bylaws Committees which shall have the Committee Chair appointed by the County Chair from the Committee membership.
New Rule, (Recommended to be Article VI, Section 1B):
- All standing committees shall be composed of an odd number of members, with a minimum of three and a maximum of five members.
New Rule, (Recommended to be Article VI, Section 6):
- Standing Committees shall file their minutes within ten (10) days to the Secretary and Communications Chair.
DISCUSSION:
There needs to be a paper trail of resignations before any vacancy is filled which we tried to address in the first rule. The second revision continues to give the County Chair the authority to appoint the Chair of the two most important Standing Committees but it then allows the Committee members to elect the chair of the other Standing Committees. The third new rule establishes parameters for the number of Standing Committee members and the fourth rule ensures that Standing Committees record minutes of all meetings.
