He said <br /> the Bylaws provide that officers will be elected in July and <br /> commence their terms with the August meeting. He stated the <br /> first order of business is the election of officers for a term <br /> beginning August 1, 1994, through July 31, 1995. He opened the <br /> floor for nominations for President of the Board. Board member <br /> Curtis Fendley made a motion, seconded by Board member Barney <br /> Bray, nominating Philip Cecil for President. Mr. Cecil was <br /> elected on a unanimous vote. <br /> <br /> Chairman Cecil asked for nominations for Vice President. Board <br /> member Barney Bray made a motion, seconded by Chairman Cecil, <br /> nominating Curtis Fendley for Vice President. Mr. Fendley was <br /> elected on a unanimous vote. <br /> <br /> Chairman Cecil asked for nominations for Secretary/Treasurer. <br /> Board member Curtis Fendley made a motion, seconded by Board <br /> member Barney Bray, nominating Dick Amis for <br /> Secretary/Treasurer. Mr. Amis was elected on a unanimous vote. <br /> <br /> Chairman Cecil stated that the next item of business was to <br /> establish a regular monthly meeting date and time. He said the <br /> Board currently meets the last Thursday of the month. He said <br /> he was reluctant to make a change at this time since two of the <br /> board members were absent. It was the consensus of the Board <br /> to schedule the August meeting as the last Thursday in August <br /> and to discuss this item at that meeting. Mayor Shelton asked <br /> the Board to. consider scheduling this the Monday the Council <br /> has their meetings since the Mayor is on the ARK-TEX Council of <br /> Governments Executive Committee and they normally have their <br /> meetings on the last Thursday of the month. Chairman Cecil <br /> stated they would take this into consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />
