Appendix 4   Proposal from Fairfield chapter on setting up Office Committee

 

      CONNECTICUT GREEN PARTY PROPOSAL FORM

 

PRESENTER (committee, chapter(s),or group of individuals):  Fairfield County Greens

 

CONTACT (name, address, phone number, email):  Eddie Friend, P.O. Box 1747 Darien, CT 06820, 203-854-5900, Route12eddie at aol.com

 

SUBJECT (10 words or less):  Creation of Office Committee

 

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE (100 words or less; including relationship, reasons, and/or justification to the State Central Committee)

 

The office space rented in Hartford has become a contentious issue which has disrupted the SCC. This committee would be charged with formulating a plan that would consider the feasibility of continuing to support the office space and the associated insurance issues

 

PROPOSAL: (200 words or less)

 

We propose that the Office  Committee be formed to prepare a report to the SCC concerning the future of the office space in Hartford.  The committee would have two main considerations.  If the office is to remain open, how would it be funded?  If the office were to be shut, how would the state party maintain the liability insurance that is necessary for chapters to hold events?  This committee would recognize the need for a timely report and recommendation to be made to the SCC in order to resolve this issue.

Appendix 5  Proposal from Executive Committee on partial repayment of Chris Reilly.

Green Party Meeting Proposal Form

PRESENTER (committee, chapter(s) or group of individuals):

Executive Committee     

 

CONTACT (name, address, phone number, email):

Elizabeth M. Brancato, 19 Smith Street, Torrington, CT  06790, embrancato at netzero.com

 

SUBJECT (10 words or less):

Partial repayment of Chris Reilly

 

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE (100 words or less; include relationship, reasons and/or justification to the State Central Committee):

Chris Reilly has presented the Executive Committee with receipts for many expenses of the Party that he paid from his own funds during 2003.  The Executive Committee has investigated and is satisfied that he paid the amounts that he is claiming.  Because members of the SCC still have questions about some of the expenditures and whether or not they were authorized, no authorization to repay Chris has been approved.  The Executive Committee believes that all the questions of the SCC should be answered before action to repay Chris can be taken, and we have taken steps to ensure that will happen.  In the meantime, we believe there are some expenses that Chris paid that are not in dispute.  Those expenses are:

         $ 35.00        Domain name

          $58.31        Envelopes

        $437.11        Postage

        $360.40        Printing       

        $890.82        TOTAL  

PROPOSAL (200 words or less):

 

We propose that the Connecticut Green Party repay Chris Reilly for these expenses, at the rate of $74.24 per month, to resolve this debt in one year.
