Old Business

  • AOCE Flags that were approved by the membership are up and hanging.

  • Web-site – Marshall Buchholz AOCE’s Web Master has been working very hard on the web-site giving it a new look (looks great) he will be attending the P.M. Session to present new options on the web-site. One thing that he is working on is to add a password on the web-site that members could vote on line during elections etc. One concern that D. Weber brought up is that anyone could then join AOCE forum. This is something that we can ask Marshall.

  • BHS move – we have a demand to bargain on this. There is 9 or 10 Non Custody from SRCI and DRCI that are working here at OSP; they are determined to be AOCE members. AFSCME might file something about this but Becky (our attorney) is aware of this.

  • Tomorrow September 24, 2010 VP and Seth Story are having a meeting with Stan Czerniak about changing the rule on BHS to reflect on intervening before the hearing of an inmate. We are also trying to form a committee that would include AOCE and BHS.

  • Brian DeLashmutt (AOCE’s Lobbyist) sent out an email informing us about the cuts that the Governor was directed to make amounting to 8%. AOCE is looking pretty good right for now.

  • PAC – Brian D. will be at the office between 1:30 and 2:30 meeting with the PAC committee and discussing PAC activities.

  • M. VanPatten handed out a DWCO (Desert Waters Correctional Outreach) survey of Post-traumatic Symptoms that can affect everyone staff members and their families especially with the type of people we have to deal with on a daily basis.

    Mike made a motion to donate $1,000 (this would come out of the activities fund) so that AOCE can become a supporting member of this non-profit organization. They have a five tier membership level. The $1,000 is for any organization with more than 1000 members. An email was sent out to Ann Gard and is going to try to get a survey for Oregon.

    The motion was seconded by D. Weber.

    AM Vote: 4/In Favor, 2/Abstentions, 0/Oppose (motion will be carried over to the P.M. session)
    PM Vote: 9/In Favor, 0/Oppose, 1/Abstention
    Total Vote: 13/In Favor, 0/Oppose, 3/Abstentions. Motion passed

  • Officer Yang from OSP passed away – great staff member for four years. OSP is hosting a Benefit BBQ to help his family. The bbq will be held at OSP on October 1, 2010 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

  • Update on bags for the Honor Guard – we still need to know the size of bag needed. Mark Buchholz will follow up with Mary.

  • Officer Andy Rice is the newly appointed Vice President for MCCF Security

New Business:

  • Donation for Relay for Life this is for the Great West division. D. Weber made a motion to donate $300 (the money will come from the Activities Fund) the motion was seconded by M. Van Patten.
    AM Vote: 5/In Favor, 0/Abstentions, 0/Oppose (this motion will be carried over to the P.M. Session)
    P.M. Vote: 10/In Favor, 0/Oppose, 0/Abstentions
    Total Vote: 14/In Favor, 0/Oppose, 0/Abstentions. Motion passed.

  • BBQ – D. Weber received an email from Eric Kama that he had a Traeger BBQ for sale, the original price is $6,395 but he would sell it to the Association for $4,500 which would include 10 bags of pellets (5 Hickory and 5 Mystique). If we purchase this it could be used for fund raisers, big celebrations, it could be leased out having a 90 day account system. These are ways we could get some revenue back on the purchase. With the money from the vending machines goes to different agencies this has cut our revenue by 2/3’s so OSCI, MCCF and OSP are hurting for money that they normally use for the Holiday parties etc. This could be one way of having a yearly picnic and a holiday party for AOCE institutions. D. Weber made a motion for $4,500 to be used for the purchase of the Traegar BBQ to be used by the Association and their members. The motion was seconded by M. VanPatten.
    AM Vote: 4/In Favor, 1/Abstention, 0/Opposed. (this motion will be carried over to the P.M. Session)
