M2022-004 | Quarterly Meeting | 4/1/2022 | Sending the Delegate informed but not instructed! | APPROVED | 1, 18, 25 |
M2022-002 | Quarterly Meeting | 1/1/2022 | Motion for additional printing of minutes: The funding for hard copies of the Area Secretary minutes was reduced in the 2020 budget meeting to mitigate the loss from printing copies that were not being used. The Budget Committee cut cost so that we may fully fund our Delegate. At the July Assembly, many members expressed concern that there were no copies available. The Area Secretary provided a minimal amount of copies (30) during the October Assembly and the cost exceeded the budgeted amount for the year, which was $100 for the entire year of 2021. This motion is a request to increase the funding for copies for 2022 AND request the difference between the amount funded for 2021 and the amount actually paid for additional copies. Budgeted $100/2021 Actual Cost $213.25/October Assembly Difference $113.25/2021. The amount requested for 2022 will be an additional $700 calculated as follows: Budgeted $100 Actual Cost $200/Assembly ($800 Total) Difference $700. The Committee voted FOR this motion by majority vote. | Withdrawn | 1,5,6,25 |

M2018-001 | Quarterly Meeting | 1/21/2018 | Floor Action by Gus H. for Betsy G.: Motion regarding Martha Watson to donate $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. Paul M. seconded the motion. | Passed | 1,24,25,26 |
M2017-006 | Quarterly Meeting | 4/9/2017 | Motion made to send Ron C., Area 67 Delegate, to the General Service Conference informed but not instructed. Motion passed. | Passed unanimously | 1, 18, 25 |
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
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 revising the current policy on Finance which 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 checks disbursed by the Treasurer will
have two signatures. The proposed revision to the Area P&P reads: (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. |

M2015-021 | Quarterly Meeting | 10/4/2015 | Motion: “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, which is $600 per person. This would satisfy the 4/8/01 motion. Discussion followed. Rick M. suggested a friendly amendment
after Gary S. explained the motion supports oversight by the Finance
Committee. Troy B. raised 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.
