Phoenix Food Co-op Board of Directors
October 20, 2009 Meeting Minutes

Present: Karl Richardson, John Starr, Shawn Stein, Sandor Halasz, Tammy Brandner, Lisa Blake
Absent: Yvonne Goodwin, William Watkins

Discussion of how board is performing, whether or not we have quorum. Sandor reports that 86 people are officially paid up 30 days prior to the meeting as required by the by­laws. If all the people who've paid partially pay up by meeting time, we will have 130 members.

Tammy will send by-laws and policy register to Shawn and John Starr.

STILL no Website for the co-op.

Do we want to change the co-op by-laws so that people who are in good standing (up on their payments) can vote, because it's our intention that people are members if they keep up. Sandor: I think we have to. General agreement all around.

We will post a large sign in the store re: meeting date. Shawn volunteers for this.

Annual meeting: November 22, 5:00 Potluck 6:00 meeting time, location: First Unitarian Church.

Currently, by-laws require members be paid in full 30 days before the annual meeting before they can vote. We propose that any member in good standing (those whose payments are current) be able to vote at annual meetings.

Abby will give a Manager's report at the meeting. John Starr will give a financial state of the union. Tammy will give a President's report.

Set agenda before next meeting. Send via email to all.

Next meeting: November 17, 7:00 p.m.

Called Abby, who then objected to time and place. Suggests 7th-Day Adventist church on Sylvania. Tammy will check.

Meeting adjourned.
