Requests that they list out individual dues paid on the ledger. There is concern that nearly the entire treasury was withdrawn and that the dues paid in the ledger and dues paid people listed do not line up. Concern that they are not keeping up the handwritten ledger and that numbers are rounded. Ka’a suggested that their books be audited. Unique sign ins are not correctly added, but they still hit their requirement. Would like to see better accuracy and detail overall.

Suggested that each BOD member adopt 2 lands to help with their audits. Concerns that ledgers are not being kept accurately could cause problems with the IRS and Westmarch should the kingdom be audited. Robert and Ka’a offer to reach out to lands that need help.

Valley of the Fallen was late, and per the corpora it’s an automatic fail. It was turned in on February 8th. Scans for their sign ins were not turned in. They seemed to have scrambled to get it together. Recommended that the Liaison reach out to them. Lothar sent what he had after having a medical emergency, however the scans would still be missing, and it still would have been late.

All automatic fails. Fiks was unable to contact anyone at Skyfire Bay. Clenawe will reach out to them.

Elisa - Nakita - Alternate
Ian - Fiks - President
Jodi - Raven - Liaison
Robert - Euric - Vice President

Absent
Justin - Clenawe - King
Robbie - Prime Minister
Ka’a - Ka’a - Secretary

Robert and Elisa disconnected temporarily

Reading of last meeting minutes. Motion to accept the minutes as read - 5 ayes

Old Business
Digital signing report from Robert.
Reached out to several previous monarchs and prime ministers. Azus, and Kelevra gave feedback that there are several programs that link to Google Drive that can allow people to add signatures to a document. Azus brought up the tax forms and land contracts would be helpful but the tax forms have many people’s addresses, the Westmarch ledger should be visible, but not editable, on the Google Drive. Also, in the Google Drive are the monarchy award recommendations, complaints filed, and other documents that are not for the public. Ian has also uploaded a lot of heraldries to the drive.

Raven wanted clarification as to what Robert. Was he to present what documents we would esign, because she was under the impression that he was investigating ways in which to sign documents. Robert and Ian were under the impression that he was to get a list of documents we would use the Google Drive to pass around and sign documents.

Ian presented the following forms could be set up for digital signing:
Land Contracts
Land Waivers
Event Waivers
Permission Slips
EIN Request Form

The next step is to convert all these into a fillable pdf. Raven will try to convert a few and see how far she gets by the next BOD meeting.

Ian disconnected temporarily

Raven made the motion to try and convert the above list into fillable pdf forms - 5 ayes

2. Prime Minister and Treasurer financial audit. They went over the digital books on Google Drive, noted that it has not been updated this year, but it will be updated. They will go through the cash and physical ledger and bank statements on April 22nd. Motion to table discussion of the audit till the May BOD Meeting - 5 ayes

3. Follow up to land Audits.
Corvis of Ashenspire wanted to make sure that they submitted something and tried to organize their paperwork with guidance from Tevis. Corvis is concerned that only a handful of people are coming out and now his job is requiring him to sometimes work on Saturday and Sunday. He’d like guidance from the kingdom as to what he should do. Robert suggested a non weekend day, and Corvis said that it might work. Since Corvis is actively trying to reboot the land he will hold the land’s treasury and should it be decided to fold the land we’ll discuss what will happen to the treasury at that time. He will need to let us know if he decides to dissolve the land.

Reached out to Lothar in Valley of the Fallen. He understands the reason they failed. He thought midnight was a soft deadline and not a hard deadline. He will know for next time and will make sure it’s turned in on time if he does the next audit.

Ian disconnected temporarily

Motion to table this land audit indefinitely - 5 ayes

New Business
Westmarch Tax Filings are to be done.
There are 3 forms and addressed in the BOD Handbook, page 1-2

California Statement of Information (Form SI-100) may need to be filed if it was not last year, Ian will check. It’s due on April 30th, has a $20 fee. Arthur will need the money in and money out from the ledger, and the corporation name or EIN number.

The California Franchise Tax Board (Form 199N), due on the 15th of May, and can be completed online. Arthur will need EIN number, business address, basic officer information, and general ledger information.

Lastly the Small Exempt Organizations (Form 990-N) is also due on the 15th of May, and can be completed online. Arthur will need EIN number, business address, basic officer information, and general ledger information. There is no fee.

Motion to table till next BOD meeting - 5 ayes


Ian opened the floor for any other issues that need to be addressed.

Robert brought up that Ka’a had posted to the unofficial chat about helping lands with audits starting in April or early May and divining up the lands to BOD members. Motion to add this issue to the next meeting agenda - 5 ayes

In attendance:
Arthur/Dratz
Ian/Fiks
Jodi/Raven
Justin/Clenawe
Ka’a/Ka’a
Robert/Euric

Reading of the last minutes by Ka’a. Robert moves to accept minutes as read, Ka’a seconds.
Elisa/Nakita joined the meeting at 6:40pm
7 Ayes

Old business:
Document signing and digitalization - Jodi tried however found she found she was unable because she needs to buy or lease Adobe Acrobat. One member has access to an old version. Discussed that $15/month to lease to it, but is too much for an entire year when all considered. Ian says he can look into this after Darkshore. Robert makes a motion to table this topic till June, Ka’a seconds.
7 ayes

Prime minister audit and hand off – Was tabled till May meeting

Westmarch Taxes – Arthur gathered information from David Zucker and will file during his spring break in 2 weeks. Ka’a asked if the SI100 was filed last year. Arthur says that he didn’t see that was filed and will address it around the 16th. It’s due by April 30th with a $20 fee. Jodi checked past meeting notes and noted it was due last year, and that there were mistakes regarding the PO Box, but was accepted with mistakes, and then it was corrected. Arthur will look further into it. Robbie Starks is aware there is a fee and told Ian that he’ll work with Arthur on it.
Ka’a makes a motion to table the taxes till May, Jodi seconds the motion.
7 ayes

New Business:
BOD Sponsoring Lands for Audits
Ka’a pointed out the idea that has been floating around that BOD members be more proactive in helping lands with their audits before the due dates. Here is the list for BOD members to sign up to help lands and reach out to them and post updates to the spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
Ka’a suggests that BOD members reach out in May or earlier to help make sure that Prime Ministers have everything they need for their audit and to bug their monarchy if they are missing anything, such as advertising. Also, it’s a good thing to address audits now during the month of Crown so that records of votes and quals do not go missing. The plan is completely voluntary, and focus should be on lands that have failed in the past, but every land should have a BOD member helping them because the lands might have a new prime minister that needs help. Jodi brought up Ashenspire and Ka’a agreed to reach out them and try to help them jump start. Ian wanted to know if members should be able to take their own lands. Ka’a feels that they should and unlocked the file so members could sign up right away.
BOD members should reach out to their lands and note it on the spreadsheet by the next meeting. Elisa can sign up for lands if she wants but is not required.
Ka’a makes a motion to table this topic till May, Robert seconds.
7 ayes

Darkshore Contracts
Ian notes that the autocrat forgot to bring the contracts to the BOD’s attention. Jodi had questions regarding the attendance projected and worries that the event might go over 200. Ian said that we can either turn away people or we pay more money. Ian also notes that they have not audited our paperwork in the past. Jodi nor Ka’a could access the insurance contract. Ian uploaded it. Ian noted that nothing needed to be signed by the BOD. The insurers were paid $304.45 upfront on January 30th, 2017. Robert said it was nice to look over the contracts, but that sometimes crats don’t have time. Ian noted that the deposit was put down before a contract was drawn up to secure date on January 10th, 2017.
Jodi makes a motion to accept the contracts and insurance, Ka’a seconds.

6 ayes
1 abstain
Ian noted that in future we need to be proactive in making sure that autocrats include us on contract.

Open floor:
Robert brought up that Collin informed him that he still has a PO Box key. Robert and Clenawe each have a key currently. Ian requests that Collins key goes to Robbie Starts as he is prime minister.
Robert makes a motion to obtain Collin’s key and hand it off to Robbie Starks at Darkshore, Ka’a seconds.
7 ayes

Arthur heard from Bailis and the SI100 was filed last year and paid the fee out of pocket. Ian noted that it is only required to be filed every other year. Jodi noted that it’s important our PO Box address is correct when filing.

Ian nominates May 18th, 2017 at 6:45pm, Ka’a/Jodi seconds
6 Ayes
1 abstain

Ian makes the motion to close the meeting, Ka’a/Jodi seconds

Reading of April minutes
Motion to accept the minutes as read - 6 ayes

Elisa - Nakita - Alternate - has joined the meeting

Old Business
Digital signing of documents. During April meeting it was voted to discuss in June. Item tabled.

2. Prime Minister hand off and audit. Arthur informed the BOD that Wells Fargo misspelled his name, but he has since worked that out.

7:18pm Elisa - Nakita - Alternate - has joined the meeting

Robbie confirms that the audit went well, however the Darkshore account still shows $50 too much, and he has not entered the interest payments to the ledgers so some accounts are $0.04-$0.06 off.

Current account totals as shown on the ledgers:
Cashbox: $161.36
Main Account: $1,314.79 (there are currently transfers and Paypal payments waiting to go through, but this is the number it will be at once everything has completed)
Feast of Mars: $2,500
Westmarch Wars: $1,000
Darkshore: $2235.16 ($1,800.06 sitting in Paypal and is currently waiting to be transferred after the next althing)

Robbie has informed the BOD that he has switched the account statements from Wells Fargo to paperless to avoid the $3 fee when he needs statements. They are not available online for no fee.

Ian motions to table the item.
6 ayes 1 no

3. Tax Filings. Arthur confirms Robbie has filed the taxes. Robbie says that the BOD handbook should be amended to say that the California Statement of Information (Form SI-100) only need to be filed on even years. He is pretty sure everything was filed on April 25/26, which is before the deadlines.
Records are digitally stored, Robbie would like to know if we should keep physical records. Ian believes that if we have physical copies that we should keep them for 3 years, but there is no need to print more. Elisa wants to make sure that they are on the drive. Robbie believes that they are and will make sure that it is.

Ian motions to table the item.
6 ayes 1 no

4. Land Audits/Mentorship. Ian read message from Ka’a saying that all that needs to be done is people need to update if they have spoken to their lands. Ian opened the floor to the BOD regarding issues that they would like to address.
Jodi she has been in contact with all her adopted lands, except for SSD who’s PM has not responded, but has seen her messages. She has outlined the requirements and directed her pm’s to where to get their forms.
Ian & Robert have contacted their lands but not updated the Adopt a Land spreadsheet. Robert has reiterated to his lands that the dates given for the audits are HARD DEADLINES. BOD members are updating the spreadsheet during the meeting.
Jodi believes that this program is a good idea and has the potential to be effective to help lands.
Robbie sets the HARD DEADLINE for the Audits to be due on August 1st.
Tarathena will contact the lands that we have not heard from if she hears from their monarch.
Jodi points out that advertising has been an issue in the past and that lands need to show active advertising. Such as a picture of a flyer being passed out at an event.

Robert motions to table the item till the June meeting.
7 ayes


New Business
Sylvan Reaches was voted into the kingdom. Ian reads the section of the corpora regarding a land joining the kingdom. The land was voted in on May 3rd. Because the land didn’t submit the contract when petitioning the kingdom, the BOD will return the contract within 30 days of receiving it. Jodi will reach out to them to receive their signed contract.

Ian moves to have Jodi reach out to them and head up the signing of the contract and table the issue to the June meeting.
6 ayes 1 abstain/absent (Arthur has disconnected)

2.Keys. Robbie & Robert confirm that they have one each. Robert will check with Justin/Clenawe to see if he still has a key. Jodi will accept Justin’s key.

Ian motions to give Jodi Justin’s key.
6 ayes 1 no

Fiks opened the floor for any other issues that need to be addressed.

Jodi has been in contact with her PMs and giving feedback.
Ka’a would like to know what is the prefered method of turning in audits.
Ian said email link to drive should be easiest.
Robert has been talking to his PMs
Ian thinks that the program seems to going well and approves of it. The question of reviewing audits of lands that BOD members are mentoring.
Ka’a thinks that is okay as long as it’s before the due date and before being officially turned in.
Jodi brought up advertising and it was confirmed that proof of use of advertising is to be used. Like picture at a demo or on a community board. Advertising is considered a verb for audits.
Elisa said that it needs to be clarified to lands that just because one BOD member helps with a land’s audit that that is not the final determination of the board.
Ian will work with Robbie to make sure that BOD members can view audit packets beforehand.
Elisa brought up that a reminder needs to be sent out about audit deadline being a hard deadline. Ian will ask Robbie to do it.
Ian motions to table the item.
7 ayes

Westmarch storage unit
Issue brought to monarch to look into securing storage unit for FOM items and castle
Robert states does not seem like a financially viable option.
David states potential to afford storage unit based on bid for next Darkshore and whether FOM would be affordable.
Ian states by corpora, proceeds from the events should pay storage fees.
David states $1,500 per year to store FOM boxes, castle, and generator.
Darkshore’s cost $1,200, FOM $300, generator used at different events
Account balances
Checking about $1,000
WMW $1,000
FOM $2,500
Darkshore $4,000
Cost of the storage unit could pay for it, but could be done. However, could impact the ability to fund events adequately.
Last year, WMW had less attendance and FOM was not profitable.
Tara states this is based on guess work, but, potentially fees could be added to event fees charged to attendees.
David states currently cost of storage is feasible but would be tight.
Jodi asks if procuring storage is necessary?
David states castle is in side yard and FOM stuff is kept in attic.
Ian states issue is a BOD matter at this point.
Financials is not BOD purview until contract is presented for review and signing.
This is more a monarchy matter or an autocrat discussion.

Robert makes motion to hand off issue to Monarchy and table indefinitely.
Vote is unanimous.
