COMMITTEE REPORTS
1) Personnel and Elections Committee summary of the October 17, 2014 meeting to include the discussion, review, and possible recommendation of the applications received for the YCAA Board of Director vacancies.
Mr. Gourley explained that the Election and Personnel Committee reviewed ten applications and discussed how the committee reached a consensus for recommending the top four applicants for Board consideration to include Director Whitehead’s re-election. The recommendation to the Board of Directors for consideration will be Director Whitehead, Patrick Goetz, Richard Hernandez, Randall Nelson, and Eric Saltzer. Each applicant recommended would potentially provide value in various capacities whether in general aviation, business, social media, or federal government.
REGULAR AGENDA
1) Discussion and Possible Action to elect candidates for the vacant seats on the YCAA Board of Directors in accordance with YCAA By-Laws.
The Directors voted on the new members for the Board.
Andrea and Gabby tallied up the votes. Andrea announced the two winners by majority vote which were Edward Whitehead and Eric Saltzer. Per the YCAA by-laws a second ballot was necessary due to not reaching a majority vote for the third vacancy. The second ballot resulted in no winner by majority vote for the last open seat. Per the YCAA by-laws a third ballot was necessary, this resulted in a tie with three (3) votes for Patrick Goetz and three (3) votes for Randall Nelson. Due to not having a majority vote and resulting in a tie, per the by-laws the tie would be concluded with a draw from a deck of cards. A brand new deck of cards was handed to President Ingold to inspect ensuring it was an unopened deck. President Ingold provided the deck to Andrea Lopez to open and shuffle. Neither Mr. Goetz nor Mr. Nelson attending the meeting therefore President Ingold drew a card for Mr. Goetz being a 10 of Diamonds. He then drew a card for Mr. Nelson being a 10 of Hearts. A second card for each needed to be drawn due to neither card being of higher value. Mr. Ingold then drew a card for Mr. Goetz being a 3 of Diamonds. He then drew a card for Mr. Nelson being a 4 of Clubs making him the winner of the last open seat to the Board of Directors.
