[Andrew Amelang]

Moved by Anastasia Wilford:

Reduce the line item for Legislative Headquarters from $18,000 to $10,000.
Increase the line item for Analysis & Support from $1,000 to $5,000.

How many people are on the body right now?

 

[Andrew Amelang]

42 I believe, so we need 22 to pass.

@Christy Ford - Please update if that's incorrect.

 

[Kyle Russell]

Christy just provided me the list of all current SLEC members, we are at 43. One was not on the forum I have just created Jennifer Renner's account.

 

[Anastasia Wilford]

@Christy Ford is that in Egnyte somewhere?

Can you or @Austen Hoogen confirm if the SLEC forwarding emails have been updated accordingly?

 

[Mike Coogan]

No rush anymore.

 

[Ted Brown]

I just voted after learning about this vote. It's hit and miss about learning of votes without checking into the Forum frequently. Please send a specific email to the entire SLEC list whenever there is a vote so that no one misses it.

Similar story here, didn't receive email or discord notification that vote was up. Luckily, I checked in to see if this vote was up because I caught the previous discussion.

Anyway, vote cast, onward and forward!

I have it set where discord notifies me when something goes up in the forum channel. That’s how I know when something needs my attention.

I uploaded a list of the current SLEC reps to Egnyte here. https://lpt.egnyte.com/navigate/file/338b01db-8ec4-4335-8c66-d168f0b37d8a

This.^^

@Ted Brown, @Kenneth Feagins, and anybody else thinking the same thing: Please take a few minutes to set up your forum notifications to your liking. This forum will send out a notification—via email—automatically when a new thread is started. There shouldn't be any need for an additional round of emails that would just be spamming those who have already received an email notification from the forum software.

And the #slec-forum channel on Discord shows you everything that goes up on this Discourse forum almost as soon as it goes up. Please adjust your notifications on Discord to ping you when the #slec-forum channel gets a new post.

This motion has passed 31-0-0 and has been open more than 48 hours, so I'm closing the vote down (it will close automatically about one hour from now). Good job, team!

 

[Anastasia Wilford]

Thanks for your support of this motion, everyone!
