Temporary Party Rules Changes For 2012
Having considered the matter of dates in the Continuing Rules of the BCDP which assumed the normal schedule of elections and do not fit the schedule of 2012 primary elections prescribed by the federal courts, the Rules Committee proposed the following changes, which were unanimously adopted by the County Executive Committee on May 1, 2012, and would apply from the first meeting of the new CEC on Tuesday, August 21, 2012:
- These year 2012 amendments are temporary and expire at the end of 2012.
- The newly elected CEC shall elect a Treasurer in its first meeting, to take office immediately.
- In the newly elected CEC's first meeting it shall vote to ratify the continuing rules, and shall elect officers (secretary, treasurer, and deputy chairs).
- The newly elected CEC in its first meeting shall review and ratify the interim budget set by the outgoing CEC. It shall consider a proposed budget.
- A budget proposed in the CEC's first meeting shall be adopted after review by the CEC, in the new CEC's second meeting.
- An orientation for precinct chairs shall be held in August.
