(1) Treasurer's Report:
- $658.05 income
- $306.9 6 from Uptown Greens, but this wa s; future contributions are welcome
- current balance at ~ $2076

Council member duties
- replacement of interim officers is tabled until next meeting, when more people show up. Interim offices remain until 2/12/02

Bylaws Amendment
Proposed changes:
2-2.2 changed to 15 years old
5-1.1 changed to two proposals, to resolve issues raised by 2-2.3
Tammy objects to including "Green Local" in 2-2.3(a), on the grounds that it crowds out smaller locals. Also the risk of a local taking over the GM; might swell size of GM.
4-1.7 and 4-1.8 are new
4-2.1 added new sentence
Clause specifying documentation certifying inability to voet, submitted in person or by mail, added to 2-2.2
2-2.3(a) addition of "local" to this clause
Ric's objections: locals take over GM? We should empower locals rather than swell GM. Magali stands aside.

The Bylaws Amendment is tabled (again) until the next GPSDCC meeting

Candidate Campaign reports: skipped over

Plenary Budget (Ric)
Ric calculates that ~ $200 is needed for the delegates, or ~$350 if we also give money to the alternates. These figures reflect costs of registration fees and reproducing the packets. Magali suggests that we stipulate reports, later amended to a general debriefing and report. 
Decision: give money to delegates but not to alternates.


Clean Elections funding request
Clean Election forum, February 3rd, Sherman Heights Community Center
All candidates in districts 5 and 8 were invited, including Escamilla and Bell. Proposal: allocate $37.50 for this event. Passed.


Yearly Budget
Proposal: individual volunteers needed for creating a yearly budget
Alternative: council members submit lists of activities that they want to see, with anticipated expenses.


Spring Mailer
Big mailing needed before November election
Jodi Beebe volunteers to work on mailing with Robyn Ardez

Minute Approval
Minutes not available for approval; approval of 12/8 minutes tabled for 2/12.
