[K3CAL] CARA Board Member Solicitation

Wed Aug 7 15:20:31 EDT 2013

As long as the CARA Incorporated is occupying County property, Calvert County Mt Hope room and tower space, the Corporation should really insist the R.A.C.E.S  Officer as part of it’s makeup with special voting rights controlling Corporation Operations.  The Corporation is foolish to think it has all control when in reality it does not.  Therefore, the RO needs to have the type of vote to stop the Corporation from doing an action(s) than is contrary to the County’s needs for emergency communications.  This is why they are letting us occupy their property.  

Let’s be real and change whatever needs to be changed to reflect the reality we are in and not something else.  The RO MUST have authority in what is done with equipment and operations of the Corporation, some of which property belongs to the County.  If the RO does not have the authority to trump operational decisions made by the Corporation then conflict between the County & the Corporation could occur & cause nightmares. A situation we do not want to happen.  

Hence, making the RO having authoritative power over the Corporation’s decisions related to Operations and not Financial would not allow County vs. Corporation issues to grow into major conflict & be legit for both parties.

Hi, George,

Our constitutional committee considered alternating terms, but because it would require 2-year terms of office, it was not adopted.  It does have good preservation of experience, though.

Even though the current officers have done an excellent job, I hope we have some folks step up and "throw their hat in the ring".  (OR volunteer for committee positions!)

  How about staggering the terms of the various officers so they don't turn over simultaneously.
