Summary of
Alliance for a Better Columbia (ABC)
Board of Directors Meeting
June 2, 2010

The following officers and other members of the Board of Directors were elected to one-year terms by acclamation, given that the number of nominations submitted by the Nominations Committee equaled the number of openings, and that there were no nominations from the floor:

President Tom Scott
Vice President Tom Laufer
Treasurer Barry Blyveis
Secretary Joel Yesley
 
At-large members of the Board
Joel Pearlman Ginger Scott

There was a general discussion of the status of ABC’s request for additional staff compensation information. Delegate Frank Turner had written a letter to the Counsel for the General Assembly in April requesting an opinion regarding the obligation of homeowners associations to provide compensation data pertaining to their individual employees to interested members. Specifically, ABC is interested in obtaining specific data pertaining to the salaries and bonuses of all individual CA staff members. To date, we have received salary data broken down by broad ranges for some key staff members, and most of the specific data is not identified by individual but rather by position title. We are awaiting a response from the Office of Counsel to the General Assembly.

There was some discussion of the wide range of CA employees who apparently receive free Package Plan Plus memberships to the sports facilities. We have discovered that the criteria used for awarding such perks is knowledge of all CA facilities and operations. The board unanimously approved a motion introduced by Tom Scott to send a letter to President Nelson requesting the job descriptions of all individuals receiving this benefit.

The board will not meet in July, and no meeting has been scheduled for August as of this time.
