ARRL Santa Barbara Section Council of Clubs - Official Meeting Minutes 2-14-2004

Minutes of:

The regular meeting of the ARRL Santa Barbara Section Council of Clubs

at 10060 Telegraph Road, Ventura, was called to order at 10 A.M. 2-14-04

by the acting Chairman, Lloyd Oleson, KE6BBP. Don Milbury (W6YN) was

appointed by the acting chairman as acting secretary because a

Secretary/Treasurer was not present.

As the meeting registration record revealed there were 12 designated

representatives present, and as those persons represented all of the 8

paid member organizations a quorum was declared.

1-  Voted to authorize the opening of a checking account for the council at a Washington Mutual Bank branch in Ventura.  

2-  Voted to adopt the following Council's Position Statement on Frequency Coordinators:

Frequency coordinators derive their recognition from the voluntary participation by amateur radio operators whose stations are eligible to be auxiliary or repeater stations.  Our rules provide that any station licensed to the holder of a Technician or higher class operator license may be a repeater.  The decision as to whether to put up a repeater is the station licensee's decision. Frequency coordinators may be individuals, clubs, or informal groups.

The list of coordinators in the ARRL Repeater Directory is there for whatever editorial, informational or business purpose the ARRL decided this list would serve. It is not the responsibility of this council to approve or disapprove those listings nor does it have any authority to do so. That authority to select frequency coordinators ultimately rest in the hands of amateur radio operators whose stations are eligible to be auxiliary or repeater stations as defined in the FCC rules Part 97.

There being no further business at the meeting, Acting Chairman, Lloyd Oleson

adjourned the meeting.

The next regular meeting will be 8-15-04

Respectfully submitted,

Donald L. Milbury, Acting Secretary
