Unofficial Minutes/Notes of Meeting
Monday, July 27, 2009
8:30pm-10:00pm
*These notes are warranted only to be correct to the extent of Mr.
Watson’s ability to take them for his own information and that of
others unable to attend this unpublicized meeting on short notice.
Attendees:
Dan Siedlecki (volunteer)
Adam Hughes (employee?)
Unknown Man
Justin Cherniak (employee)
Unknown Woman1
Unknown Woman 2
Chris Johnson
Michelle Lorenz (employee?)
James B. Rogers (UW employee)
Mike Stephenson (sailing team)
Michael Watson (volunteer)
Unknown Man 2
Mark Staniszewski (employee)
Brian Borkovec (UW employee)
(*Note: It is unclear what the purpose of the committee being formed
and debated in this meeting actually is since it is not a hiring
committee with respect to the UW employee ultimately hired, if hired
at all. Hoofer Sailing Club employs nobody; the Wisconsin Union
employs all personnel assigned to Hoofer Sailing Club, and no doubt
must comply with state law and UW policy on hiring, including posting
of the position.)
9:25pm (Watson attended meeting underway)
A discussion was underway in Bradley Lounge where a white board was
written on containing these names:
Tristan Sather
Joe Reis (volunteer)
Andy Evenson (employee)
Michelle Lorenz (employee?)
Adam Hughes
Anne Mueller (sailing team ’05)
Dan Siedlecki (volunteer)
Frye (employee)
Pete Mooney (volunteer)
Jay Eckleberry
Paul Davidsayer (employee?)
Jim Rogers (UW employee)
Jess L.
Borkovec told the group each could only vote for 5 persons. (Why is
Borkovec running the meeting and declaring who gets how many votes?)
Borkovec was provided a vote too. Votes called and taken by show of
hands on each person on the white board. Borkovec confirmed he is, in
fact, voting after inquiry from floor. Series of votes taken.
Rogers says Brian Borkovec as a non-voting member can add something to
committee; Rogers claims he is neutral.
Cherniak spoke to how many rounds of interviews there will be.
Michelle spoke that “nominating committee” (which will interview
candidates too?) seeming to be too large at 8 persons. Another person
spoke that larger is better, so as to represent Club as a whole. Mark
said a group of 8 should be approached to do this. Dan said 5 primary
persons would be good.
Borkovec said interviews will be at the end of August most likely.
Michelle complained that selectees for committee are too old in
general, claiming she doesn’t have a problem with that however.
Watson asked whether the financial relationship between potential
committee members of subordinates professionally of the ultimate
selectee should essentially bar some persons from sitting on this
committee. Borkovec spoke against Watson, saying other Wisconsin
Union Directorate committees seat members who are co-workers of
interviews, and claiming Watson’s ethics point would cut out persons
from the process unfairly.
Rogers pitched Anne Mueller for committee. Then persons started
talking up Mueller, a former racing team person. Cherniak re-entered
room saying Tristain Sather just told him he’d like to help, but has
an inflexible, limited schedule. Chris Johnson suggested another round
of votes to choose top 5 persons. Rogers said something
inconsequential.
Siedlecki asked if a budget has been formed to fly-in candidates for
interviews and other national search necessities. Rogers countered
that no such thing is done, but that phone interviews are done
instead. (Does Rogers have authority to decide this question of a
Board member?)
Committee Chairman said each person gets two votes. Series of hand
votes conducted. Borkovec said something. Watson asked whether
Wisconsin Union has to approve this committee to hire since it is a UW
Employee being hired, assuming one is hired. Borkovec confused;
Rogers interjected that committee need not be approved by Wisconsin
Union since it is only a “nominating committee.”
Findings of this Sub-Committee will be forwarded to Hoofer Board of
Directors on Wednesday, July 29, 2009, 8:30pm for consideration.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00pm.
