A point of order was made by Director D. Warren asking the chair to clarify whether WPFW Director Ambrose Lane who is also the Interim Executive Director, will vote as a member of the PNB.

The chair rules that Director/IED Lane will vote as a member except in areas of conflict.

The ruling of the chair was appealed by Director Heffley stating a continuing breach. A vote was held resulting in a vote of 13 to uphold the ruling of the chair, 2 to not uphold the ruling of the chair. Therefore, the chair’s ruling stands and Director/IED Lane will vote as a member except in areas of conflict.

Motion 2 – Approval of Pending Minutes

Motion 2 to approve all pending minutes was made by Director Saba, and seconded by Director Randhawa. An amendment was made by Director Adelson and seconded by Director Saba to amend the minutes of April 2nd.

Motion 2 as amended passed without objection.

The PNB approved the following minutes:

The Motion was amended by Director Williams and seconded by Director Heffley to “move to table the Spanish Language budgeting and planning for implementation until Saturday, October 29, 2005 to budget discussion.

Amendment passed without objection and the Laforest motion was tabled to Saturday, October 29, 2005.
