stated that since minutes were previously sent out, through email to
all council members for review,
if there were any objections or

none on the executive minutes.
The public minutes for 4/4 reviewed /
accepted without any changes and 4/18 executive minutes were
corrected on one spelling error
and corrected name of a Kearns

Unfinished
Business
---Financial Oversite
Committee—Kevin stated
that no other council has this so why do we need it?
Chuck replied
“because of the past 18 months”, and to restore the public’s
trust.
We promised Salt Lake County an oversight committee as one
of the financial controls and we should keep our promises.”
Charles stated the financial overset committee could possibly start
to reinstate trust if need be. May not need for a year or so,
indefinitely.
Nominations for members of the council to sit on this
committee were Charles, Kathy, Debby, and Al. Will be voted on in
public meeting.
Al stated vote to adopt report—audit. This will
relieve the treasurer of all responsibility after reported.
Guidelines for oversight committee were reviewed and wording changes
were given and accepted by a vote of the Council
(see separate
attachment with that wording).

Chuck state the council may need to get a 501C3 in order to apply for
grants.
Further discussion tabled till the public meeting if time
permitted.
THE WORDING TO FOLLOW SHOULD BE PART OF THE PUBLIC MINUTES WHEN THIS CAME UP AGAIN.
Jackie Murphy mentioned
that she did not think we could lobby if we had our 501C3.
Chuck
responded that if that was true that ACCT could lobby in our behalf.
Jackie agreed.
Kevin Lundy asked if we might want to consider having
a 3rd party like a foundation formed by a group of Kearns
Citizens
when they did not think the County would allow the new
Council to apply for 501C3 status of administer grant money.
Name of
that Foundation??? Chuck asked who was on the board of that
Foundation and
Kevin Lundy mentioned that two members were himself
and Lawrence Geisler.
Jackie Murphy also mentioned that we could
apply for grants through “Utah Neighborhoods”.
Further
discussion tabled till June 6th meeting.
Business
Cards and Stationary—Debby stated her son in law will be able
to give us a good price on what we want.
Kevin suggested that we get
prices from him on about 500 cards each. He thinks that is the price
brake. Debby will follow up on.
Absentee Member Policy- (it was
suggested by Chuck that this be tabled to a future executive meeting
on 5/16….
Sam mentioned that she would like to be present for the
discussion and could not be at the 5/16 meeting.
The council
discussed and agreed to move this to the public session if time
permitted to allow Sam to participate)
THE WORDING TO FOLLOW SHOULD BE PART OF THE PUBLIC MINUTES WHEN THIS CAME UP AGAIN.
Chuck asked for the
parliamentarian (Alan Peterson) to give a formal opinion of the
bylaws.
Alan Peterson read the bylaws and stated that if a member
misses more than 50% of the meetings that they are automatically
subject to dismissal. Discussion around that wording and whether
“excused” status qualified as part of the percentage. Opinions
offered by several council members and Samantha mentioned that she
did not realize before the election that the Council would be meeting
more than once a month.
Kevin asked Jackie Murphy if all Councils
met twice a month. Jackie mentioned that some did and some only met
once.
Paula mentioned that it was not Samantha’s fault that she
had miss some meetings because she had a work conflict.
Samantha
responded that she would be able to attend at least once a month
moving forward.
Chuck mentioned that he saw this as a non-issue
regarding Sam given that she would be able to attend at least once a
month going forward.
Discussion was tabled for further analysis at later date.
