Adoption of Agenda Motion: Ted Brown moved with second to add an agenda item for the Stop the Top Two ballot initiative and the At-Large position to the agenda and that the LNC Report be moved up in the agenda as Jeff Hewitt had to leave at 1:30 with no objection. The Agenda as revised was adopted with no objections. Executive Committee At-Large Position Ted Brown announced that Susan Marie Weber, At-Large Representative, was unable to attend this meeting. Although she has been active in email voting she hasn’t been able to attend any of the meetings in person this year (5 meetings total) it may be appropriate to move one of Alternate At-Large members into the At-Large position. Motion: It was adopted with no objection to remove Susan Marie Weber from the At-Large Representative position and fill that position with one of the Alternate At-Large Representatives. Motion: Mimi Robson moved with second to appoint Chuck Hamm as At- Large Representative for the remainder of Susan Marie Weber’s term which will terminate at the end of the 2018 Convention. Vote: Motion passed with no objections Nominations for second Alternate At-Large were opened to fill the vacated position. Robert Imhoff
