5) Old Business:
a. Elections for 2014/15 APAC members and officers
Two positions filled James Burgdorf (at Large) and Raymond Barnett
(UHB). Several discussed that they heard Keith McMath was leaving
campus at the end of the week. Teresa stated that she couldn’t open up
his position on APAC until she received word from Keith. If there is
an opening in District 4, Teresa has a couple of people in mind.
Raymond may have a couple people who might be interested and will
give the names to Teresa by Wednesday June 18.
b. Discuss and ratify changes to APAC Bylaws (Greg Mayes)-second
reading which will bring in line with APAC. Originally it was drafted
to allow for new members to become acclimated to APAC and
informed as to what is going on. Currently the Bylaws state that
officers begin term in August. The question was brought up whether a
motion should be made to retain current bylaws or change them.
Raymond made a motion that nominations and petition cycle begin in
April having election in early May giving new members two months
briefing before beginning in August. Donna seconded. Greg said he
would draft new wording.
c. Discussion held on transition of UPPAC officers and APAC officers
was held among members.
