Reports:
Secretary:
·
New EBoard –
IL needs SR’s SSAN to complete a document to inform NSW and the N.O. of the 1
JUL 03 EBoard changes. KO will get a copy for the DOL.
Treasurer:
·
Voucher 1 – A
Member attended CFS last year. Two receipts are missing totaling $21.50. The
Member has provided KO with the credit card statement as well as a document
explaining the situation. Moved (PP) and seconded to accept the credit
card bill in lieu of the receipts. Approved by unanimous consent.
·
Voucher 2 – A
Member who attended CFS this year has submitted a voucher totaling $21.00 but
has no receipts or documentation. The Member will be advised that receipts or
other acceptable documentation would be required.
·
Larsen Loan –
The collection agency advised they have been unsuccessful in getting a response
and are closing the account. KO will contact Dale Wright (NFC Chair) to make
sure we can write this debt off.
Other Reports:
·
Election
Committee 1 – Ballots for the UIM Election were counted Monday; JF won. Tony
Rios (IR, Committee Chair) posted the results on the Bulletin Board and the list
serves. The exact count is available in the NATCA office.
·
Election
Committee 2 – IR would like to have a Member from each specialty to help verify
Membership, addresses, etc, before each election. IT will put something on the
list serves.
·
Election
Committee 3 – IR recently proposed changing our Local’s Constitution to change
when we place new officers and reps. UO looked at the national constitution.
This would not appear to be in conflict. Research continues.
Labor Relations:
Facility Placement Board:
·
NATCA Reps –
OB will replace IT on the FPB.
UKW:
·
Traffic Fiasco
– Yesterday the weather wreaked havoc on the traffic flow in UKW. If we pursue
this, some TMU Members may be burned; possibly also Controllers. VC, with the
Board’s concurrence, would like to take this issue to QA. MB will get the
Command Center logs, sign in logs, “the who, what & where” from her area. NTSB
is also an option but this would take it out of our hands.
Unfinished Business:
·
Area Reps’
Office Furniture – Moved (EX) and seconded to allocate up to $2,000.00
for table(s) and chairs for the Area Reps’ office. Unanimously approved.
IT & PP will handle the purchase.
·
Tee-Shirts –
Brian Rountree is still working on the design.
·
Holiday Party
Committee – We need to get a committee together ASAP as location availability is
diminishing. Cathy Meachum may be able to help again.
New Business:
·
Seniority –
Mark McCormick has stepped down as Chair of this committee. Chris Rice will
take over. We would like another person to work with Chris. IT will post the
offer on the list serves.
·
Release Policy
– IT recently emailed to the Board some questions about revisiting ZFW’s release
policy. There was much discussion, including our chronic understaffing and a
possible “ramping down” of the numbers of persons to be released. Currently our
authorized staffing number is 379. EX advised we attack the problem by
addressing staffing, so as not to harm the ability of Controllers to leave. VC
suggested he, EA & OB (NATCA’s FPB Members) discuss some options.
Meeting adjourned at 1327L.
