Guest Rita Posted January 20, 2015 at 07:52 PM Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 at 07:52 PM Our by laws indicate to have 2 members on the Finance committee. This committee will put together the new budget for the new year. They are there during the year to assist the treasurer if necessary. Can the treasurer be one of the 2 members?Thank You, Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar Guest Posted January 20, 2015 at 08:08 PM Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 at 08:08 PM They are there during the year to assist the treasurer if necessary. By electing/appointing the treasurer to this committee you'd be providing only one assistant when the intent seems to be to provide two assistants. Mr. Martin is, of course, correct that it's not prohibited by RONR but I would suggest it's not a good idea. Just as it's not a good idea to elect the same person as both president and vice-president. Or president and secretary. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done.

Richard Brown Posted January 20, 2015 at 08:49 PM Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 at 08:49 PM I was going to reply with essentially the same answer as Mr Guest, but with the added statement that it seems to me this is essentially a matter of interpreting your bylaws, something that only your organization can do.

Rev Ed Posted January 21, 2015 at 05:30 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 05:30 AM There is no reason why the Treasurer cannot be a member of the Committee. Actually, because of their assistance with the Treasurer's duties, it may be beneficial too. As for By-law interpretation, that is up to the organization to determine.

Gary Novosielski Posted January 21, 2015 at 01:38 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 01:38 PM If I were writing bylaws with the intent of having two assistants for the treasurer, I'd probably provide for a committee of three, one of whom is the treasurer. But, of course, I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted January 21, 2015 at 02:15 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 02:15 PM That ain't no bus, that's a dang trolley.Hmmm. In New Orleans, that would be a red streetcar. We have red streetcars that run no one line (downtown and riverfront) and green streetcars that run on another line (St Charles Avenue). But, in New Orleans, there ain't no such thing as a trolley. If you call it a trolley, we know you are from far, far away and don't know nothin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 21, 2015 at 02:34 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 02:34 PM Hmmm. In New Orleans, that would be a red streetcar. It would have been a streetcar in Pittsburgh too (as I'm sure Mr. Mervosh can attest). Alas, I think they're all gone (Mr. M?). If I recall correctly, on outbound trips you paid when you got off, depending on how far you traveled. But it was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
