Minutes of the regular meeting of the ARRL Santa Barbara Section Council of Clubs that was called to order at 10 A.M., 02-09-2008 by the Chairman, Lloyd Oleson, KE6BBP.
Other officers present were:
Jack Bankson, AD6AD Vice Chairman
Don Milbury, W6YN Secretary/Treasurer
As the meeting registration record revealed there were eight designated representatives present, and as those persons represented a majority of the eight paid member organizations a quorum was declared. These represent a majority of the active ARRL Santa Barbara Section affiliated clubs.
No elected ARRL official was present.
Two appointed ARRL officials were present:
The Section Internet Manager, Jack Bankson, AD6AD, and
An Assistant Section Manager, Don Milbury, W6YN
The Chairman called for any new business from the floor.
There was considerable discussion from the floor concerning such issues as:
* Support to SARC for Santa Maria Swap Fest - JOTA (Jamboree On The Air)
* Using the Council mailing list and Web site
* ARRL help to clubs
* Section site selection for ARRL SW Division Convention
* Objectives and vision for future council activities
A primary subject of the meeting was the election of officers for the coming year. The current officers were nominated to continue their responsibilities for another year and were confirmed by acclimation.
A motion was offered from the floor to suspend future physical meetings of the council until there is renewed interest by section clubs to resume the activity. The motion was passed without objection.
There being no further business at the meeting, Chairman Lloyd Oleson adjourned the meeting.
