Harold Laich per kilometre for travel allowances with flexibility in the formula that allows for upward or downward movement on a quarterly basis according to gas prices at the pump. The trustees established a date for the annual meeting of electors with that being Feb. 20 of next year and will release their annual report shortly after that event. Based on a recommendation from last year’s audit committee, the board will implement an ethical practices policy and procedure to ensure that all board members and employees are clear as to what is expected of them in this regard. “It’s a compliant procedure really, a last resort procedure that we can pick up if other avenues fail,” said Trombley in introducing the motion of acceptance. “It’s a common policy, the auditors recommend it for any larger organization or business. I don’t expect we’ll have to use it, but it’s still valuable to have.” The trustees voted in favour of holding a meeting schedule of the second Thursday each month with a couple of exceptions in 2014. They will meet again for the final general business session for 2013, on Dec. 19.
