E2 Gowanda HS Library: We pretty much do that in House, but we run that by the President 1st and make sure that he approves everything that we have to potentially put on the agenda. E2 Gowanda HS Library: He also signs different. He's responsible to sign different legal documents that we we may have that that come up. He E2 Gowanda HS

So if there's ever a public comment that John hits the board level that person can speak from E2 Gowanda HS Library: we have. E2 Gowanda HS Library: There's no more. E2 Gowanda HS Library: They're basically the point person for the board, although individually they're no more influential than anybody else. They're stuck with the board, but E2 Gowanda HS Library: it's important. It's an important position. E2 Gowanda HS Library: It sums up too much. E2 Gowanda HS Library: If you guys, if everyone completed their ballot.
007E2 Gowanda HS Library: You can pass them all in. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Yes. E2 Gowanda HS Library: good. Thank you. E2 Gowanda HS Library: 98.

008don't. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Motion is public now. But E2 Gowanda HS Library: so I will read the motion.

E2 Gowanda HS Library: and whereas the Board has identified circumstances that warrant a temporary deviation from current policy concerning election of the Board President, due to unique circumstances involving the absence of Mr. Max Graham from the organizational meeting.
