Center Fac
Rep Conferences –
ZLA FacRep (Ghaffari) will be hosting next FacRep Conference and made request
that each facility supplement cost of this and future bi-yearly conferences at
$250 per facility. IT suggested that it was a good idea, but ZFW Local just
spent $5300+ of own money and presented it to Eboard for discussion/decision.
MB motioned to contribute
$250 to the FacRep Conferences; VO seconded motion. 6 approved, 1 opposed, 2
abstained. Motion passed.
·
Contribution Request
– Susan Conley made request that ZFW NATCA pay for “ice time” for Bowie High
School Hockey Team. 1 hour of ice time is $280. In return, NATCA would be
listed on team banners and in Programs. After discussion, Eboard decided that
the Local had not done this in the past, and if we do it for this cause, where
do we stop? It was concluded that it would be a bad precedent to contribute to
causes such as this one – the Eboard unanimously decided against contributing to
the hockey team.
·
Area List
Serves – IL wants
to know if the areas would be interested in him setting up area specific list
serves at Natca.net. (so areas would have forum like ZFW two-way list). Eboard
agreed to let IL set up these up. He will send out emails to area Members and
they can request to be taken off the list serve at that time.
·
Disposition
of old computer parts
– HH requested to use the
old computers and computer parts for charity. They would be sent to a company
that refurbishes them for these charity organizations. This item will be tabled
until HH can speak on exactly what he’s requesting and the nature of the company
he’s talking about.
Unfinished Business:
·
Membership
Drive – Eboard
discussed “kicking drive into gear”. IT added that the NEB has been discussing
possibility of open season with no initiation fee for joining NATCA. After much
discussion on details of the membership drive:
OB motioned to give each
member who signs someone up to join NATCA a $50 gift certificate to Brinkers
Restuarants. This would be effective immediately and end 3/31/04. VC Seconded
the motion. PP
asked, “Why have a stop date?” IT said that “we could always extend it…” No
more discussion. Motion passed unanimously. UO will email members on
drive.
·
New Server
– SV said that a new server really isn’t required now. Tabled until high speed
internet access is obtained.
