The monthly meeting of RPNA was held September 1, 1998 at St. Philip Episcopal Church, 720 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with Ed Littlejohn presiding. Attendance was 19. Ed Littlejohn announced that there was a by-law clarification needed. Some people had questioned whether there were enough members present at the last meeting to approve the by-laws. However, we were within the old by-laws and proper by Robert's Rules of Order (1/3 of members present). The other point of clarification was raised by the city in reviewing our by-laws before filing them. The section on elections (Article 5.1 Officers & Their Election) states in part: "...The President and Secretary shall be elected on ODD years. The Vice-President and Treasurer shall be elected on EVEN years. A term of office shall be one year...". It is recommended that the term of office be two years to allow for the offices to be staggered in even and odd years to create and overlap of offices. There was a question as to whether there was a limit on terms of office. Ed responded that there was no limit. He also noted that our current Treasurer (Linnie Montgomery) does not fit the criteria to hold office according to sections 4.1 and 5.1 of the new bylaws. It was suggested that we either grandfather the President and Secretary's terms to end in 10/99 or we put all offices up for election at this time with appropriate 1 or 2 year terms. It was alternately suggested that we use the old by-laws for this election and institute the new by-laws after clarification. Terry Nelson-Littlejohn moved that the Vice-President and Treasurer's terms expire in 9/2000 and the President and Secretary's terms be grandfathered to end in 9/1999. Sharon McClish seconded the motion. The motion passed 9-0. Ballots were passed out while Diza asked for nominations from the floor. None were received. Daisy moved that the Secretary register a unanimous acclamation for Vice-President and Treasurer. Mike Yoder seconded the motion. The motion passed. The Vice-President is Mike Yoder and the Treasurer is Laura Monkhouse. Reed Williamson representing the Canal Stakeholders Association spoke to ask our association to add our support to oppose the rezoning of the property at 709 North Senate. The rezoning is for a bar-cabaret-nightclub business on that property and the Stakeholders and the Near-Northside Development Corporation (represented by Nathan Wetzel) believe that this type of business is not in the best interest of the area. Nathan stated that the building has 12,000 square feet but very limited parking. He also pointed out that the traffic would be in competition with residents for street parking in the evening. The Metropolitan Development Commission will address this in their meeting tomorrow (September 2) at 1:00PM.
