Minutes 2001

January
The first Dickson County ARC meeting of the new year 2001 began with objections from a couple of Club members that the new EC section was added to the Club web page, after the Club voted not to sponsor the EC position. After some tense discussion, fellow members N4JII, Glen, and KN4HL, Charles; along with their wives, Paulette, KC4FMU, and Joyce, AD4EX, decided to quit the Club. The Club later took a vote and decided not to except their resignations, and leave them on the Club roster. The Welcome mat is always on the front porch if any wish to return.

Other items of business was discussed. From this meeting on, it was decided by the Club that before any other sections (or links) be added to the Club web page, it be voted on by the membership. This motion passed as read.

The Club voted on and passed a motion to bring back the Club to ARES status, and to sponsor the EC with membership dues in the ARRL on a yearly basis. Jeff Clark, NY4N, and new EC for the County of Dickson, advised he would not use Club funds for his membership in the ARRL. ARES status means the Club is NOT affiliated in the ARRL, but in the ARES program itself. Basically, if the Club members are needed in communication crisis not dealt with by the Dickson County Emergency Management Agency, or maybe a need may arise out of the County, the Club members will be notified that the Club's ARES plan will be put into effect.

The Club voted and passed a motion that major decisions that need to be put up for a vote by the Club be published on the Web page at least 30 days in advance, to give members time to study the proposals and make up their minds, maybe even do research in the matter.

In staying with the last vote, Club members voted and passed a motion that when items are put on the Web for Club consideration, and if Club members know in advance they will not be attending the next meeting, that they can send their votes via e-mail. All members in good standing with the Club and on the official roster will be able to vote via e-mail.

The Club made a motion and voted to review the present by-laws of the Club and make additions and subtractions, if any are needed. After input from all Club members, the finished set of by-laws will be distributed and viewed by Club members, and voted on. If passed, the new by-laws will take effect the first day of the next calendar month.

The new Club call is still in limbo. Due to a mailing mistake to the FCC by yours truly, the application for the vanity call AR4DC was dismissed. It has been resent to the FCC, hopefully by next meeting, it will be ours officially.

If any changes, additions, or subtractions are needed for the minutes, please send a request to the Club secretary at NY4N@aol.com.
