On the Third Tuesday of each month at a place called the Longbranch

If you are sufficiently sensitive you might be able to detect the silent psychic screams of the Were Pumpkin.

For most of the month they appear much as the rest of us,

But if they do not leave and find shelter on the Third Tuesday of Each Month before

 They Metamorphise into hideous Orange Monstrosities

Which accounts for the desperate need to leave the Linn County Central Committee Meeting

Now if they were content to just leave it would be understandable.

I mean who would want to be seen in public like that?

 It is their insistance that everyone leave that is the problem. 

But as Robert Heinlein said

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

If they have to leave

EVERYONE has to leave 

The Problem is it seems to always leave things not done.

So I have a couple of sugesttions for future meetings

First  We could AMEND the Agenda

That only takes a majority vote, changing the Agenda to say put off adjourning til after 8:30 takes a Two thirds vote

So a tad more than one third of those attending can at that time force everyone to leave for the night,

Another thing we could do is

Follow our By Laws.

Which state

Robert's Rules of Order Revised shall prevail unless modified by these by-laws 

 Now it is true unlike some of the LCRCC membership Robert's Rules of Order seem to assume everyone is there to actually get the work of the Committee done.

Instead of Rushing out at a specific time

But it does say what to do if a meeting adjourns before all business is completed. 

The Effect upon Unfinished Business of an adjournment, unless the assembly has adopted rules to the contrary, is as follows:

(a) When the adjournment does not close the session [63], the business interrupted by it is the first in order after the reading of the minutes at the next meeting, and is treated the same as if there had been no adjournment, an adjourned meeting being legally the continuation of the meeting of which it is an adjournment. 

 

 

 

 Here is June's Agenda

Welcome / New LCRCC Members Vote

Old Business/ New Business 

 

SO at July's meeting after we  have the reading of the minutes

We need to DO these items

I mean it is REQUIRED by our By Laws 

But it would be nice if the FOUR people who expressed an intereedto join during the June

meeting return. 

At another time the Body might want to address the habit of not adopting the minutes until after One Third of the Meeting is over

That does seem Odd
