M2015-021 | Quarterly Meeting | 10/4/2015 | The motion coming out of the
Finance Committee is read by Troy, “Because the SWRAASA Pool was overlooked
in preparing the SETA Budget for 2016 , and because this category should have been funded when
the budget was prepared, the Finance Committee recommends that, in addition
to the Delegate, Alt. Delegate and Area Chairperson (who are already funded),
we provide sufficient funds to pay for four additional current Area Officers
or Committee Chairpersons, to attend the 2016 Southwest Regional Service
Assembly in an amount not to exceed $2,400.00, which is $600.00 per person.
This motion is made in order to satisfy the motion previously approved on April 8, 2001, that the area fund a pool of four persons (in addition to the Delegate, Alt. Delegate, and Area Chairperson) to attend SWRAASA in even numbered years.” Discussion followed. Rick M. suggested a friendly amendment after Gary S. explains the motion supports an oversight by the Finance Committee. Troy B. brings up a point of order: once the motion is on the floor, the motion must be tabled or voted on. Gus H. spoke in favor of the motion. Troy brings the motion as written to a vote. The motion is seconded. The motion is passed with a show of hands. |

M2017-004 | Quarterly Meeting | 4/9/2017 | On January 14, 2017, the Area Delegate, Chair, Alt-Treasurer and Treasurer met at the bank to update the signature cards. They understood they needed the current Secretary and a copy of the Area minutes to do this beforehand. The banker directed them to remove the past Treasurer and to add the four new signers as well as the Secretary. Therefore, Christina S. proposes the Area Assembly revise the current written policy on Finance which currently reads: The Area Treasurer, as directed and authorized by the Southeast Texas Area, including the filing of tax returns when required. All checking and/or savings shall have the following on the signature cards: Treasurer, Alternate Treasurer, Delegate, and Area Chairperson. All check disbursed by the Treasurer will have two signatures. The proposed revision, that would be added to the Area Policies & Procedures Manual, would read as follows: (under Finance) The Area Treasurer, directed and authorized by the Area Assembly, shall conduct all financial activities of the Southeast Texas Area, including the filing of tax returns when required. All checking and/or savings accounts shall have the following on the signature cards: Treasurer, Alternate Treasurer, Delegate, Area Chairperson and Secretary (as needed). All checks disbursed by the Treasurer will have two signatures. Motion passed. | Passed | 1,6,20,25 | |

M2018-001 | Quarterly Meeting | 1/21/2018 | Floor Action by Gus H. for Betsy G.: Motion regarding Martha Watson to doonate $100 to the General Service Board of Alcoholics Anonymous, Inc., as is our custom when we lose a current or past delegate in our Area, or a current or past trustee in our region. A longtime member of Area 67, she passed away near Dallas after complications from a stroke. Martha was 89 years old, and on December 31st of last year would have completed 44 years of sobriety. She was very much looking forward to reaching that milestone. Martha was definitely a force to be reckoned with; however, her knowledge of steps, traditions, and concepts was unmatched in the opinion of this student. In addition to serving as SETA's Panel 31 Delegate (1981-1982), Martha also served as an Appointed Committee Member on the Trustee's CFC Committee at the General Service Board. Martha belonged to the Rosewood Group, which she helped form and regularly attended the Working With Others Group, both in West Houston. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully submitted, Betsy Gerber, Panel 59 Past Delegate. Paul M. seconded the motion. There were none opposed. Motion passed. | Passed | 1,24,25,26 | |
