Agenda Items:

 

Old Business:

  • The Lease for New Central Office 

Central Office has been moved 6 blocks South West of current TVCO location to Front Street. 

  • Several Inter Group Members asked the Board why they stayed in Temecula and did not consider Hemet, Sun City, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, or Wildomar
  • Jeremy explained that the Board conducted an analysis with 7 other Central Offices in Southern California and looked for the group conscious in the set up, square footage, locations, salary for Office Manager and accoutrements.  (AA approved literature, Medallions etc.)   Based on average standard TVCO was moved to Front Street and the old Central Office was put up for sub-lease.

Fred asked the Inter Group Members “How many of you are dissatisfied with the move of TVCO?”

The response was minimal

Fred then re-asked the Inter Group Members “How many of you are dissatisfied with the way the Board handled the move of TVCO?”

The response was unanimous

  • Doug read the bylaw that gave the Board the “power” to make that decision on behalf of TVCO
  • A member pointed out that the Board violated the concept of Tradition 2 that supersedes the bylaw and more accurately outlines the Board’s responsibility to defer leadership and major decisions to the member group
  • Reports:

Hot Line is going well, but needs more volunteer groups 

                  Shawn made a motion for $440 for the year for the hotline

                  Seconded by Mike
