M2019-007 | Quarterly Meeting | 4/14/2019 | Sara D. Archivist Archives
Repository Relocation – • The Space Itself: o If we agree to the offer, they are prepared to remove a wall between 2 storage rooms to provide 350 Sq. Ft. for our records and administrative space. o This footprint is less than the 621 Sq. Ft. stated on the lease at our current location (of which my tape measure will dispute) but the actual storage and administrative space we presently use calculates to between 220-230 Sq. Ft. o We've also been advised that the Meeting Space at the rear of their facility will be made available to us to hold our Committee Meetings and any Future Events we might have at no additional cost. (schedule permitting) • Changes in Rent: o We pay $721 a month at our current location. o On Sep 24th the Intergroup Board of Trustees had Officially Proposed a $450 Monthly Rental Payment. (that's a $271 savings every month or $3252 annually) o The cost of the remodel has a bid of $1850 which we are told will be passed on to Area 67. o They've advised us that they will break up that charge into equal payments over the term of the lease, interest free. (20 equal payments of $92) o With those charges added, the Monthly Rent will be $542. (that's still a savings of $179 a month or $2148 annually) o The Area also has been given the option to make a 1-time payment of $1850 which will reduce the rent back down to $450 a month. o If the Area chooses the installment plan there will be re-negotiations of our lease when it lapses which will remove the renovation charges. • Lease: o The lease will be for 1yr 9mo (starting 01 Jan 2020) as that will be when Intergroup's current 20-year lease will lapse (Sep 2021) and it's only prudent to establish our lease into the same timeframe. o The Board will require SETA Archives to carry its own insurance on the repository but the savings on rent easily covers that cost and insurance has already been budgeted for 2020. • Security: o Security locks for the Repository will be re-keyed so that only authorized personnel will have access. (Intergroup will keep a key onsite as our landlord). o After hours access (to retrieve displays or prepare for a presentation) will be given via an access code for the security system. Committee Officers will be trained on its operation and we're also advised that these codes are individually assigned so a record of who's coming and going is maintained for security reasons. • In Closing: o The Intergroup Board of Trustees will write an Official Proposal in time to present at the Oct Assembly with all that has been stated. |

M2019-001 | Quarterly Meeting | 1/20/2019 | Vern P. Motion for 2018 Hotel Lodging Expense Accounting – ● Motion: Full, accurate, and complete report of 2018 lodging expenses, itemized by budget holder and any other needed budget categories, including refunds from Hotel(s), and accuracy verified with 2018 budget holders, be created and shared with the area at the next area assembly. Should the treasurer not believe they can accomplish this, then this motion shall be fulfilled by the Finance Committee or an Ad-Hoc committee, and the treasurer shall participate in such committee to assist in generating the report. Should the report indicate that overpayment to a Hotel(s) or others be revealed then the treasurer or appropriate committee shall develop an action plan to recover the area’s funds. Intent: To provide the groups, districts, and members of the Area with an accurate report of lodging expenses, reimbursements, and potential overpayments to hotel(s) or others. Background: In 2018 the Sheraton N. Houston began requiring that hotel rooms be paid in advance. This created a budgetary expense reporting problem in that the Treasurer would allocate lodging expenses against each budget holder's budget, even when the budget holder was not utilizing lodging as they were local to the Sheraton and did not need or want a hotel room. The Treasurer allowed that if she was notified in advance in e-mail by a given deadline that a budget holder would not need the hotel room, then she would not log it as an expense against that budget holder's budget. In practice, this did not happen, in the case of this budget holder, the Treasurer was notified a hotel room would not be needed for the April or July assemblies, yet there was a lodging expense for logged in the budget expense summary sent by the Treasurer on 9/24. Additionally, in talking with two other Houston-based budget holders who did not use hotel rooms, they were unaware of this arrangement, and so had not notified the treasurer via e-mail. Thus, they would still have had lodging expenses allocated against their budgets despite never having actually realized such an expense. Problems: 1) Reporting of expenses that did not actually occur against a budget holder’s budget 2) Potential missing money – where did the money go that was reported as an expense? a. Was the hotel overpaid for rooms never booked or used? b. Did something else happen to the money? ● Area Committee was able to reach substantial unanimity; will present to Area Assembly 1/20/19 | Passed | 1,5,6,20 |

M2017-004 | Quarterly Meeting | 4/9/2017 | On 1/14/17, the Delegate, Chair, Alt-Treasurer and Treasurer
met at the bank to update the signature cards. They understood they needed the current

Treasurer, as directed and authorized by the Southeast Texas Area, including
the filing of tax returns when required.

cards: Treasurer, Alternate Treasurer, Delegate, and Area Chairperson. All checks disbursed by the Treasurer will
have two signatures.

All checking and/or savings accounts shall have the following on the signature cards: Treasurer, Alternate Treasurer, Delegate, Area Chairperson and Secretary (as needed).
