Policy Manual: Lindsay-At the last Bylaws committee meeting it was decided that the committee feels there was an error in the Bylaws with the Officers term of 2 years. It was M/S by Lindsay and Ann to present this issue to the general membership for clarification and to be sure this is what the club wants. The motion passed with 4 yea’s (Lindsay, Ann, Patti, Mary) 2 nay’s (Bruce, Fred) and 2 abstains (Cherie, Pat)

The committee is at a standstill on the completion of the Policy Manual due to the portion on Obedience and Instructor compensation. The committee asked the board for help regarding this issue since it is unclear whether the committee is to make recommendations on this section or just write what the Board says to write.

It was M/S/P by Pat and Bruce to table the Policy Manual until the next board meeting giving everyone time to review what is written and make their suggestions.
