1.     OLC’s Board Election

 

Mr. Shortbull presented the unofficial results of the November 19, 2002 Board of Trustees and Local Board elections. (See attachment A) Mr. Shortbull stated there have been questions asked of the President and Board President as to the status of Dennis King and Juanita Scherich who have been elected to the Tribal Council, and the issue is whether they can still stay on the college board due to NCA concerns. The college attorney, Lisa Cook, stated that these two board members would not be affected by the new revisions to OLC’s charter as the issue of board members elected directly by the districts was not dealt with by the charter revisions. Ms. Cook stated that she would write her legal position on this issue and send it to the College President. The official certification of the board elections will take place next on Monday when the challenged ballots are counted by the OLC election committee.

 

Mr. Shortbull next explained the transition from the current board to the new board that will go into effect at the December Board meeting. The current board members will be the voting members for the committee meetings, but the new board members will be the voting members for the December Board meeting and not the current board members. As means of orientation, the new board members will be invited to attend the committee meetings and will receive a stipend. There will be board training on December 22, 2002 at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Rapid City.
