Guest CoachK87 Posted October 9, 2023 at 06:35 PM Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 at 06:35 PM So we needed to add another srgt at arms for added security during the season. We had the body vote yes or no to the position being added and assigning someone to the vacant seat. So I wanted to know if this is how we are supposed to do this or if we needed to hold an election for the open seat. Thank you for your time. coach Kenny PSI football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, if anything, do your rules say concerning: The position of Sergeant-at-Arms Officer positions generally, including whether additional positions can be added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your time. coach Kenny PSI football If your offices are listed in your bylaws (and I'm not sure where else they would be) then the way to add new offices, or increase the number of existing ones, then the way to do that is by bylaws amendment. A simple motion would not be enough. And yes, I believe an election would be required if that's how the current Sgt@Arms got there. If this person was put into this position improperly, you'll need to fix things. But that's not to say that you have to change the bylaws to allow additional people to volunteer for security duty. One Sgt@Arms could surely supervise a few assistants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
