Annual Meeting 2022 - On-time Resolutions |
BIRT By-law 1 Section 2 b) be amended by deletion and substitution to read:
“act as the signing authority for all Bargaining Unit expenditures;”
Moved: Avril Burns Seconded: Mara Zalcmanis
Rationale: The current language is anachronous as the Bargaining Unit no longer has a chequing account; Bargaining Unit expenditures are approved by the Executive Committee and paid from the District account. It is the President who is required to authorize expenditures that are to be paid from that account.
BIRT By-law 1 Section 6 d) be deleted.
Moved: Avril Burns Seconded: Mara Zalcmanis
Rationale: The current language is anachronous as the Bargaining Unit no longer has a chequing account, therefore a co-signer is not required; Bargaining Unit expenditures are approved by the Executive Committee and paid from the District account. The District requires Bargaining Unit Presidents to authorize expenditures that are to be paid from that account.
BIRT By-law 3 Section 4l be amended by the insertion of “that remain unfilled due to election or acclamation, in accordance with By-law 3 Section 2 g” after the word “positions”.
Rationale: To clarify that defeated candidates may only run for positions that remain unfilled as of the closing date for on-time nominations.
