Unfinished Business---
Status Of Minutes For Website---Paula reported that she has tried to contact webmaster Bryan Stone-Daly to see what minutes he needs.
Has not heard back from him. Also stated that she has had some problems with email getting to him.
Chuck offered to email to Bryan what he had to see if he could get them through to him.
Paula and Chuck will work on this to bring up to date.

ZAP Funds—Chuck suggested that we form a committee to include all the ZAP funding, not just the skatepark.
He also suggested that a representative from each sport organization be on this committee with two council members.
Paula is already on this committee and TJ should be the other council member because this falls under his standing committee of Parks & Rec.
Council agreed.
***Motion by Chuck to make Cathy Harding chair of the ZAP funding committee since she already has a good committee started.
Also that this committee will expand to encompass all the funding, not just the skatepark. 2^nd by Kathy Larrabee.
Kevin called for vote. 6 votes yes, 0 votes no, 2 abstain. Motion passed.

Discuss Procedure For Election Of Officers---Chuck provided the council members with a copy of the bylaws that state how officers
are to be elected. Council discussed.

New Business---
Election Of 2007 Officers---Kevin explained how elections would run. By nominations and secret ballot.
Chuck stated that TJ in his absence wants to vote also. Asked if he can be reached by speakerphone to nominate and cast his ballot.
Discussion from council was to allow or not. Debby stated that we talked about this before and she thought we decided you needed to be present.
Paula clarified by stating we agreed before not to allow proxy votes, but if a ballot was involved then the person absent wanting to vote
already knew the nominees and could cast a private ballot.
Chuck agreed with Paula that we had previously agreed that “proxy” voting would not be allowed,
but absentee voting would be allowed in case of election of officers or filling of vacant council seats.
***Motion by Al to allow TJ to participate by speakerphone in nominations and can give his vote to someone impartial (not a council member).
That person will then speak with TJ in private and mark his ballot as he directs. 2^nd by Charles.
Kevin called for vote. 4 yes, 2 no, 1 abstain. Motion passed.
Council called TJ on speakerphone and informed him of how this would run. TJ agreed.
Also council stated that they would like Cathy Harding to be the impartial person. TJ agreed. Kevin then opened nominations.
Paula passed out ballots to all council members. Kevin closed nominations and asked members to cast their ballot in secret.
Phone was then given to Cathy so she could mark TJ ballot as directed by him.
