Appointment and Confirmation of Advisor
The President expressed concerns about his ability to work with the current Advisor (Mr. Moore)
in the coming term due to contrasting views regarding expenditures of CSLSA funds for
travel to USLA Board Meetings and related issues.
He stated that, with regrets and acknowledgement for the dedication of Mr. Moore to CSLSA and lifesaving,
he wished to appoint Mr. Randy Eickhoff as advisor for the coming term. He stated that along with being
an experienced lifeguard, Mr. Eickhoff is an accountant from a nationally recognized firm and and that the
most immediate need for CSLSA is to get its financial house in order.
Extensive discussion ensued during which time several members of the Board expressed concern
about the loss of Mr. Moore as Advisor and the contrasting point of view which can be healthy
in these types of situations.
Mr. Moore expressed a desire to continue to work on the Executive Board but a willingness
to accept and act according to the wishes of the Board.
Once the discussion had concluded, the President pointed out that, under the Bylaws, the Advisor
serves at the pleasure of the President. He expressed a willingness to reappoint Mr. Moore to the position
for a trial period with the caviat that he would advise the Board if he felt the appointment would need
to be terminated at the next Board Meeting.
MOTION:
Moved by Mr. Long to confirm Bob Moore as CSLSA Advisor.
SECOND: Mr. Klosterman
DISCUSSION: No additional comments.
