First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin
Special Congregational Meeting
February 25, 2007
A special congregational meeting was held on February 25, 2007. The meeting was duly posted with notices sent in the newsletter and by mail to all members of the congregation, all in accordance with the bylaws. A quorum was present.
President Don Smith called the meeting to order at 1:40 p.m. Smith lit the chalice and provided opening words. He introduced Mickey Moore as the timekeeper and introduced members of the Board of Trustees.
Adoption of Congregational Rules
Don Smith presented the proposed congregation rules as adopted at the last congregation meeting. The rules were approved by consensus.
Business
Intern Minister
President Don Smith explained the purpose of the meeting and the improved end of year financial status of the church. At the December Fall Congregational Meeting funding for an intern minister had been cut from the 2007 budget due to a decrease in pledging from the previous year. With an improved financial out look the Board of Trustees recommends hiring an intern minister.
Upon a duly made motion by Nancy Neavel, seconded and passed as follows:
RESOLVED, that the budget will be amended to hire an intern minister.
The meeting adjourned at 1:47 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
