Motion III: Arturo Carrillo

From Arturo 

 

Hello Governors,

 

I formally request to propose to the league to request the webmaster, Bryan Haneiwich to yield all administrative logins, passwords and billing of all LAPL services to the board.  

 

All billing services such as the website, constant contact, etc, to service the Los Angeles Pool League must be billed directly to the organization and not to any member of the league.  All information must be provided to the board within 2 weeks*.

 

The webmaster has been paying the bill directly with the service providers as a noble gesture of donation towards the league for years, but it is an accounting error and must be corrected.   

 

Bryan Haneiwich should be recognized for his annual donations towards the league and be thanked for.

 

* This time frame can be modified by vote of the league members.
