5. Treasurer’s Report – Michelle Lynes
At this point in time, it is unfortunate that the audited report for AOCRA will not be finalised until the end of November. A Special General Meeting will be called to ratify the audit report. This will then be distributed.
The Office of Fair Trading was contacted to advise them of the need to hold a Special General Meeting as the audited report could not be presented at this time.
The Profit and Loss was presented however. This report was received the previous night and had not been emailed to delegates ahead of the AGM.
Tuki Brown requested that the delegates have some time to look over this report. There were some queries regarding the balance of bank accounts, V1 loans and the terms, the lack of continuity of the role.
Motion:
The Profit and Loss be accepted and that a Special General meeting is held prior to December 31st 2012.
Moved: Tuki Brown
Seconded: Anna Wood Carried
6. Election of Officers and Committee:
As all delegates and committee members present are nominated there was no independent chair therefore Ron Grabbe chaired.
A staff member from the Mercure is the vote counter.
All committee members stood down and the roles were declared open.
Motion:
That we extend the committee numbers from 4 to 5.
