IV.  Unfinished Business from Last Month.

1. Executive Committee
   1. New projects
      1. Office space:( Recommendation) The  Executive Committee has determined and is recommending that UMHCA secure an office space. This issue will be put for a vote to approve up to $300 per month for this space.
         • Reasons for
         • • stability
           • internet
           • storage (projector, microphone, speakers)
           • space for outside sources (Executive Director, etc.)
           • Prioritized Categories
           • • Divided up and split into appropriate committees
             • many of the priorities have been met
             • Document Place in All Access Drive for universal access to Board Members
         • Space found in Sandy for $300 a month
      2. Attorney subscription: (Discussion) The Executive Committee is working on a new benefit for UMHCA members to partner with a law firm. We are looking at a no liability partnership that will provide subscribed members with defined legal services.
         • Concerns about liability
         • • Would not be giving legal advice so there would be no liability concerns 
           • Main purpose would be for subpoenas and to protect license in such cases
           • $20 a month for access to attorney
           • Would not be a drain on UMHCA
           • Would not be "UMHCA's Attorney" yet, that would be a separate issue
           • Sheet will be written up and presented at a latter time
           • The Attorney may present at conferences
      3. Legislative and Public Policy Committee (LPPC): (Recommendation) The Executive Committee, has determined that the LPPC, which is at the forefront of UMHCA's advocacy efforts needs an expanded structure to meet the demands of this committee's scope of work. The recommendation is to establish a dual-chair structure with one chair overseeing legislative /lobbying/legal concerns and the other overseeing DOPL matters such as licensing and supervision. In addition to the dual-chair structure, the EXEC proposes a student be appointed as co-chair in keeping with other UMHCA committees. Once approved, these recommendations, and related division of responsibilities will be written into the ByLaws.
         • Co-chair would go to DOPL meeting that takes place once a month for 4 hours
         • Allows us to continue to promote UMHCA
      4. Stipends for attendees to AMHCA Annual Conference: (Recommendation) Per request of the presidential adviser, the EXEC recommends that UMHCA award a $300 stipend to Gray Otis and Sandi Williams for representing UMHCA at the annual AMHCA conference. 
         • Total of $600, $300 for each person
   2. Update of progress
      1. Liability insurance: (Outcome) Not necessary at this time.
   3. Items for vote

         • • stated that it is way beyond needed
         • Vote unanimous
         • Passed

         • Seconded
         • Discussion
         • • presented next meeting if possible
           • As a dual chair would they have two votes?
           • • Yes, they would each get full votes
             • For voting members present, both of these chairs would not have to be present
             • Not going to change the minimum quorum number, in that case, they would be counted as one
             • Will be taken back to committee to discuss voting for dual chairs
           • Will this be utilized with other committees?
           • • It is possible, but will be tried with this one committee initially
           • Who appoints dual chair?
           • • Not appointed, they would be voted in
             • Only chairs can make nominations, President is not allowed to nominate
         • Vote unanimous
