Financial Report

N/A

Old Business

Committees that promised during a previous meeting to present information for the board, motions postponed to a certain date or indefinitely, etc. Meeting Structure was updated to clarify definitions of certain terms and time lines.

New Business

Motion 1

  • Bradley - Motion to remove Matt from the board, per the bylaws requiring attendence and participation.
  • Leung – Has spoken with Matt and he expressed the need to step down. Was asked to submit a written statement to the board entirely. Nothing was received.

Unanimous consent on passing to remove Matt Shepard as Resource Director from Board of Directors.

Motion 2

Motion to review the current top recommendations of the Location/Spaces committee and vote for a tentative, nonbinding, preferred location.

  • Jacob – How do we clarify the need to have this report. Concern that this would get continually pushed back.
  • Bradley – Intention to have something but was unable to compile things by then. Amendment proposed – “Motion to compel the Locations committee to produce a recommendation report on ideal locations by next board meeting, April 7, 2011.”
  • Young – Would like to see a written, complete report on locations by next meeting.
  • Tang – Would like a written document as well.
  • Huerta – Agrees that this is possible to have a complete report in the time frame.

Motion to TABLE by Leung. Vote – Unanimous opposition. Amendment vote - Unanimous consent. Motion vote - Unanimous consent.

Motion 3

Motion to give Jeremy Leung full authority for selecting a new location for Heatsync Labs, and executing lease agreements or other location-related contracts on HeatSync Labs' behalf.

  • Giles – Minute Allowed – No on this because he would ask that the committee give you the report and that we elect Jeremy to make the decisions without all the knowledge. Doesn’t like the idea that the decision can be made without the board. Would like to see this tabled until after the spaces committee reports.
  • Rosenthal – Agree with giving him authority to do lease agreement on behalf of HSL. Issue with location selection related authority.
  • Young – Concern for lack of checks and balances for the situation. Would like to see the documents be required to be reviewed by attorney and/or board members.
  • Tang – Possibility for adding both Jacob and Jeremy to the decision.
  • Diaz – Move to strike motion entirely. Could cause concerns for future decisions. If Jeremy were to be separated at any point in the future, this would have to be revisited. Operations decision shouldn’t be brought to the board at this point.
  • Bradley – needs to authorize an individual to make this decision as of this point.

point of order --- Need legal to review how this should be handled.

  • Huerta – Agrees that we should have this reviewed and that Jeremy is a good pick for this situation. Feels that as he was partisan to a particular area might not be a good fit.
  • Leung – After hearing discussion – would move to strike this as well and revisit at a later meeting.

Motion Vote - Unanimous opposition.

Adjournment – 7:54pm
