Is The ECP Board Even Legal?

Here's where we currently stand with the ECP board:

1. George Golie - chair
-Member (business manager) of the union hoping to get most of the jobs at HGS. Was heard to say at the 7/07/08 ECP board meeting words to the effect that HGS will "give my guys jobs"

-Member of the pilot program

2. Dawn Willey, Vice-chair
- Works for one of ECP's largest customers, Benefis
- Has missed three meetings in 2008 and four in 2007

3. William Ryan
- Member of the pilot program

4. Robert Pancich, former chair


Other than for Mr. Pancich, the others have glaring conflict of interest issues.

If I'm reading this correctly and it applies in this situation, at least three members have to recuse themselves from voting, which would only leave one member, two when the fifth position is filled, to conduct business (vote). There has to be at least three people, a quorum, to conduct business, which no matter who is appointed to Randy Gray's position, cannot be attained with the current members.

If I'm correct in my assessment, the ECP board has never been able to conduct business.

Conflict of interest is how this city is run. Not a single person recuses themself. Laws are passed, deals are made, votes are cast. So many boards, so few people. Egyptian dynasties had less incestuous connections compared to the city.
