Notice to RCM’s – Take this motion back to your Areas

This motion will be voted on at the October 2003 RSC

(This motion is in addition to Motion 2003:22 also going back to Areas)

A special meeting of ORSCNA RCM’s was held on August 24, 2003 in Mansfield, OH at the Knights Inn at 2:00pm to discuss the memorandum presented by the audit report ad hoc committee at the July 2003 RSC (see the July 2003 meeting minutes).  The RCM’s voted to have the opportunity to discuss several options with their Areas and to meet again to discuss their Area’s conscience before this body takes any further action.

 The following list of proposed options were to be discussed with their Areas:

            1.   Ask for full payment now since default on the promissory note.

            2.   Revise promissory note to include monthly payments up to 12/31/03.

3.   Wait until 12/31/03 for balance (as stated on the promissory note – last payment).

            4.   Civil action (lean against person’s house, garnishment of wages, etc.).

            5.   Criminal prosecution.

            The NA member named in the memorandum and the referenced promissory note was at the August 24^th meeting and stated that this note was signed under duress and that she will not be able to pay the balance by 12/31/03 as required in the promissory note.  She expressed her remorse for her actions and her willingness to make amends if given the opportunity to do so where it would not cause her undue hardship.  Her payment of the $4,850 is already a faith payment that she will make restitution regarding this matter.

            Given this new information and a conscience from their Areas, the RCM’s rejected the options listed above and made the motion below to be taken back to their Areas for a conscience vote.
