Meeting Agenda— Prepared by Daniel Phillips
Prior to the beginning of the meeting Aaron Goodman reminded all Board members that Roberts Rules of
Order will be followed and that it be understood that there is civility present. This standard of conduction
was presented as a motion and passed unanimously at the September 30 meeting.
Approval of Agenda: Motion to approve the agenda was made by Lora Traveler and seconded by Robert Pender.
The agenda was protested by William Faust. The question of the status of Daniel Phillip’s resignation was brought up.
Daniel Phillips clarified and confirmed he intends to remain Vice President of the PRO board. Vote was 9 in favor, 3
against. Motion passed.
President’s Report: Welcome, history of involvement with PRO and focus on the upcoming elections. Invitations to the
October 20, general meeting were made to various city officials, and SFSU representative. Mr. Pender encourages
involvement of minorities in PRO and would like to see outreach for the New Year. Meeting called to order at 7:25 p.m.
Roll Call: William Faust was recorded as a guest. He protested and claimed to be a member of the Board.
William Faust continued to insist that he was a member of the Board and stated his reasons for this. He stated that he
was informally a member and he was personally placed in nomination by Robert Pender which he accepted and his dues
were paid, Robert Pender stated that Mr. Faust did not accept this nomination nor did Mr. Pender pay William Faust
dues. At that point of the discussion Mr. Faust did not observe Roberts Rules of Order, he was speaking without
being recognized. At this point Vice-President Goodman asked him to observe Roberts Rules of Order. This was not
followed and the agenda had to be postponed until order could be reestablished.
The meeting was brought back to order and the topic of legal mediation was discussed pending agreement of all parties
involved.
It was concluded that William Faust is not a member of the Board for two reasons. (l) He has not paid dues for 2007 and
thus is not a member of PRO. (2) A motion was made by Robert Pender at the April, 2007 meeting to nominate Mr.
Faust to the Board. Mr. Faust was not present at that meeting and therefore the motion was tabled and was never
brought up again. Therefore William Faust is only considered a guest.
Secretary’s Report: Motion was made by Lora Traveler to approve the minutes for the September 30, 2007 meeting
and seconded by Robert Pender. A discussion ensued Approval of the September minutes were approved by a vote
of 6 yes, 5 no. Motion passed and minutes approved.
Treasurer’s Report: Michele Miller brought up that in order to set up an account with the bank for the Legal Fund we
need to have a copy of the minutes when that was approved. This is now done as the motion was made at the
September 30, 2007 meeting.
Old business: The next issue is the SFSU Master Plan. The Trustees on November 13 and 14 are certifying the Master
Plan in Long Beach. It was highly recommend that you write your letters as this is the last chance you will have before
SFSU increases their enrollment. Other old business is postponed.
In order to follow up on agenda items from the last meeting, Aaron Goodman asked Terence Faulkner if he supported
PRO. Terence indicated yes.
New Business: Aaron Goodman presented the confidentiality statement for each Board member for their signature
along with the signature of two witnesses. Signed copies were given to the Secretary. Members who are not present will
have the form sent to them and will be asked to return it. It was noted that members may refuse to sign this. A discussion
ensued as to what is meant by “confidential information”. It was agreed that any information on the website is non-
confidential. Aaron Goodman indicated that certain things brought up at Board meetings are confidential and should
only be for members of the Board. Discussion ensued as to what is confidential and what is non-confidential. All
membership information is confidential.
Election: Michele Miller indicated that we do have a list of people who have been nominated but not all have responded
with acceptance, It was decided there needs to be a Communication Committee meeting to finalize the ballot for
Saturday.
Bylaw Proposals: Proposed amendments to the by-laws were presented. Discussion about the need for such changes
occurred. Michele Miller made a motion to include the item that the CSFN requires in regard to Community Service.
Aaron Goodman seconded motion. Terence Faulkner questioned amendment #2. Members who are appointed to the
Board should know who they are replacing. No vote as there was no longer a quorum. It was decided to table the
motion until January 2008.
There was no longer a quorum the meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
