T E AT i m e sSeptember 22, 2001ELECTION NULLIFIED The annual election of TEA officers has been nullified as a result of
concerns raised by TEA members at the September 19, 2001 annual meeting.
Members at that meeting objected to voting without knowledge of the
candidates. At least one workgroup had not received ballots prior to the
meeting.
A majority of those attending the meeting agreed that the only fair thing to do under the circumstances is to invalidate the ballots gathered at the meeting, and to hold a new election.
Candidates for TEA offices are being asked to submit statements explaining
their interest and qualifications to Wyatt Wood. The statements will be
distributed to eligible members by the TEA TIMES. The board will set a new
date and time for return of the completed ballots.
Candidates' names are listed at www.teaseattle.org.
WRITE-IN VOTES The TEA by-laws have no provision for write-in votes. The intent is
to avoid the election of any person who has not expressed interest in serving in
any board position.
SICK LEAVE / PAID LEAVE / BENEFIT TIME TEA will have a special meeting on Tuesday, September 25, at twelve O'clock, in the Elliott Bay
Café.
The subject of the meeting will be sick leave, vacation and other County
paid leaves. One option that will be discussed is benefit
time.
