New York State
Association of Self-Insured Counties
General Business
Meeting
Friday May 8, 2009
The
NYSASIC general business meeting was called to order by President Amy
Clute at 10:00 AM at The Gideon Putnam Hotel Saratoga Springs, NY.
The minutes of the
October 10, 2008 General Business Meeting were reviewed and approved on
a motion by Darlene White, seconded by Soni O’Bryan, passed.
Colleen Capwell gave
the Treasurer’s report. The revenue is $30,885.53 which includes 2009
memberships and 2009 conference registrations. Expenses are $23,779.22
and include the fall 2008 conference hotel expenses and the 2009 spring
conference expenses for the transportation and dinner at the racino.
After paying the additional 2009 spring conference costs it is estimated
the balance of checking and savings will be approximately $24,000, which
is consistent to the last few years. This conference will be slightly
more costly as NYSASIC paid for breakfast for all attendees in an effort
to keep the package price down. The Treasurer’s report was approved on
a motion by Dixie Perkins, seconded by Sue Lent, passed.
The 2009 NYSASIC Fall
Conference will be held September 30 - October 2, 2009 at The Radisson
Hotel Corning, NY. Amy Clute said that the board discussed returning to
the Gideon Putnam for Spring 2010 conference but asked that any feedback
on locations be included in the survey responses.
Under the Legislative
committee report Dixie Perkins reviewed three bills to get any feedback
from NYSASIC. S2364 would allow any approved doctor to do diagnostic
tests unless there is a network in place, S2781 would specify that if
Social Security disability is approved than the workers’ compensation
case would be permanent total, S3701/A4368 would bring volunteer peace
officers under WCL. After discussion of the bills it was determined
that NYSASIC would write a letter of opposition to S2781 and the
membership was asked to read S3701/A4368 and get back to Amy Clute with
any feedback.
Amy Clute will
monitor the electronic roundtable and will use it for information
purposes only. Also if you don’t have any feedback to questions being
answered it is not necessary to respond.
There was no new
business to discuss.
Amy Clute reported
that the board seats for Cindy Cocca, Sue Lent, and Lisa Watts are up
for election and the nominating committee comprised of Doug Dillon,
Maureen Sullivan, and Gail Hughey nominate Cindy Cocca, Susan Lent, and
Bonnie Szpulecki. Amy Clute asked for nominations from the floor but
there were no additional names. The secretary will cast one ballet for
the names as slated.
The meeting was
adjourned at 10:20 AM on a motion by Gina Clarke, seconded by Amy Poff,
passed.
Respectfully
Submitted,
Amy Poff
