−
** Devin: election is a good idea.
 
−
** Patrick: if the bylaws were more clear, that would be nice. We need to figure out how to do elections properly.
 
−
** Curt: Interim until election is a bad idea. Either appoint someone or hold an election in September. If you’re going to hold an election, you better do it right.
 
−
** Mike B: Questions about the wording of the bylaws. The ‘regular meeting’ probably doesn't mean membership meeting, it probably means the next board meeting.
 
−
** LaDeana moves to take this offline so that the board can do the homework so we know if we appoint someone or elect someone. No second. Motion fails.
