On the Third Tuesday of each month at a place called the Longbranch
If you are sufficiently sensitive you might be able to detect the silent psychic screams of the Were Pumpkin.
For most of the month they appear much as the rest of us,
But if they do not leave and find shelter on the Third Tuesday of Each Month before
They Metamorphise into hideous Orange Monstrosities
Which accounts for the desperate need to leave the Linn County Central Committee Meeting
Now if they were content to just leave it would be understandable.
I mean who would want to be seen in public like that?
It is their insistance that everyone leave that is the problem.
But as Robert Heinlein said
If they have to leave
EVERYONE has to leave
The Problem is it seems to always leave things not done.
So I have a couple of sugesttions for future meetings
First We could AMEND the Agenda
That only takes a majority vote, changing the Agenda to say put off adjourning til after 8:30 takes a Two thirds vote
So a tad more than one third of those attending can at that time force everyone to leave for the night,
Another thing we could do is
Follow our By Laws.
Which state
Robert's Rules of Order Revised shall prevail unless modified by these by-laws
Now it is true unlike some of the LCRCC membership Robert's Rules of Order seem to assume everyone is there to actually get the work of the Committee done.
Instead of Rushing out at a specific time
But it does say what to do if a meeting adjourns before all business is completed.
The Effect upon Unfinished Business of an adjournment, unless the assembly has adopted rules to the contrary, is as follows:
(a) When the adjournment does not close the session [63], the business interrupted by it is the first in order after the reading of the minutes at the next meeting, and is treated the same as if there had been no adjournment, an adjourned meeting being legally the continuation of the meeting of which it is an adjournment.
Here is June's Agenda
Welcome / New LCRCC Members Vote
Old Business/ New Business
SO at July's meeting after we have the reading of the minutes
We need to DO these items
I mean it is REQUIRED by our By Laws
But it would be nice if the FOUR people who expressed an intereedto join during the June
meeting return.
At another time the Body might want to address the habit of not adopting the minutes until after One Third of the Meeting is over
That does seem Odd
