Good morning!

Just a reminder, tomorrow is the September Officers meeting. If you have 
any business that needs to be put on the agenda, please email me today 
and let me know.

Currently, the agenda includes voting on the laws that were proposed at 
the July meeting and were published in the Althing::

Change #1:

Original wording:
II. The Officers of the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands are those 
required by Kingdom Law, the Seneschals of the Barony's subsidiary 
groups, the Captain of Archers, the Marshal of Fence, and the Chirurgeon 
Liaison. These officers constitute the financial committee of the Barony 
for the purpose of setting financial policy and approving financial 
activities.

New wording:
II. The Officers of the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands are those 
required by Kingdom Law, the Office of Baron/ess, the Seneschals of the 
Barony's subsidiary groups, the Captain of Archers, the Marshal of 
Fence, and the Chirurgeon Liaison. These officers constitute the 
financial committee of the Barony for the purpose of setting financial 
policy and approving financial activities.


Change #2:

Changes also to Section II:
Addition of text following "…baronial property related to the office to 
his or her successor in a timely fashion.": Whenever an office or 
Baronial position changes hands, the outgoing officer is responsible for 
transferring all files and Baronial property related to the office to 
his or her successor in a timely fashion. An inventory report must be 
filed at this time so the change of property can be verified and turned 
in to the Chamberlain or Exchequer.

Change #3:

Change to Section III.
Addition of text following: "…for expenses by category based upon 
expected attendance, rates charged and any free admissions.": After 
budget expenditures are to be approved or disapproved at the Financial 
Committee's discretion.

Change #4:

Addition of the following text:
VIII. Anyone that holds, stores or maintains Baronial property, not to 
include files, must inventory it at least once per calendar year. The 
report should be given to the Chamberlain or Exchequer during the first 
two weeks of November. This report shall contain at the minimum the name 
of the item(s), quantity on hand and a statement about the condition of 
the item(s).

Change #5:

Addition of the following text:
IX: The Barony reserves the right to accept or refuse any donation. 
Non-monetary donations (e.g. equipment, supplies, items for resale) with 
a value over $100 require the approval of the Exchequer, who will issue 
the receipt. The donor is solely responsible for setting the value of 
the donation. No non-monetary donation should be accepted prior to 
seeing the item.
