• Motion by Amjad to move agenda item #7 in the order to #4. Anita seconded. Motion passed.
• It was agreed upon to discuss the grievance procedure first, followed by Eric Sorenson’s grievance.

  Item was discussed and debated at length and it was decided that the grievance procedure was fine as it is.

  However it was recommended and agreed upon that a procedure for appointing an arbiter be formulated to assure fairness and proper representation.

• The grievance of Eric Sorenson was not resolved. However Eric dropped it because he was leaving his position at the Co-op as a result of him moving out of state.
• Rachel proposed that board meetings be integrated with staff & volunteer meetings and be held at the Co-op at a time to be determined at the July board meeting. Everyone agreed.
• At the end of the meeting Theresa Gragg submitted a letter of resignation as board member and president to be effective July 23, 2001.
