First item was a "Swiffer" amendment to rule 6076 changing 'whether' to 'when.'
Second item was for rule 3000 regarding nonqualifying competition sanctions, adding the line "the use of the standardized nonqualifying competition announcement is optional." Bad idea. Now we're back to guidelines versus rules. Since there was not a majority in the affirmative, it did not pass. The party in favor of the amendment asked to have it counted, but the motion to have a count of the vote was voted down.
There was a cheer to thank the amazing staff at Headquarters! Here! Here!
The Professional Skaters Association gave their annual outstanding judging award to Rosemary Santee. Congrats Rosemary!
The people at the Doubletree distracted many of us from business by putting out an amazing spread of cookies. Thanks to the St. Moritz Ice Skating Club for sponsoring the "cookie break."
It was time to adopt the budget. A piece of new business was suggested to allocate up to $30K for legal fees to review all the association bylaws and revise them to correct inconsistencies, improve cross-references, make them workable and adjust them to best practices. I think it's a great idea and it passed.
Adoption of the budget as amended.
