Reports:
First Item:
Kitty Garden reported on the status of the Battlemaids calendar. Proceedings were moving smoothly
toward shoots in November. Kitty planned that a TPP would have copyright of all photographs. They
also suggested pre-orders at a possibly reduced cost in order to cover the cost of the calendar order.
April Gendill suggested reaching out to friendly business to see if they would stock our calendars. Kitty
will look into it.
Kitty also asked the board to fund $100 to purchase two costumes for models who do not have the
funds to purchase their own costumes. Board voted unanimously in favor to fund the $100.
Second Item:
April Gendill reported on the brass collection and cleanup. It is scheduled for October 26th at the Mt.
Lemmon shooting range. It will be done early in the morning because there was no response from the
forestry service about shutting down the range. April has a truck to transport large garbage, which will
be taken to the city dump. April was still waiting on signs crediting TPP for the trash cleanup. April
will be bringing gloves, trash bags and other items. Kitty Garden will be donating N95 masks.
Third Item:
Roger Snyder reported on the status of the Bylaws committee. It has been slow moving because they
are still studying the Arizona revised statutes in regards to compliance. They will attempt to have a
message soliciting the membership for volunteers for the committee by Sunday October 19th
.New Business:
First Item:
April Gendill was contacted by the DSA and told the Board they are interested in doing a fundraising
for TPP. Kitty Garden asked if this would jeopardize TPPs 501(c)(3) status. April and Dane Frandsen
said if the DSA are only fundraising on our behalf with no involvement or partnership with the DSA, it
should not be a violation of our tax-exempt status. Sami Barghout suggets we should vet all groups
fundraising for us, April will look into the DSA more.
Second Item:
April Gendill suggested that any correction of any members, (Directors, staff, or otherwise,) in
Discord, regarding the Code of Conduct, be done in Direct Messages only, not in any public Discord
channel, including Board and Staff channels. They suggested that screenshots or other records could be
made, however. Kitty Garden, as Director of People, stated that public correction can be necessary as to
demonstrate correct behavior and to demonstrate to other members that HR staff are doing the work
needed. General discussion followed. Kitty also stated that any non HR Directors or staff should not
write comment in HR tickets in Discord. Dane Frandsen and Roger Snyder ask if there is any
interaction or liaising between moderator staff and HR. Kitty Garden stated that there is interaction but
no process. Kitty said they are also working on sensitivity training for mods as well as volunteers in
general.
Third Item:
April Gendill suggested the possibility of cleaning and maintenance of firearms classes. General
discussion agreed that classes could be useful, but there are safety and possibly location issues. Kitty
Garden brought up insurance and liability issues. April suggested tabling the matter until TPP has
proper liability insurance.
Fourth Item:
April Gendill suggested a new member liaison staff position. This position would have TPP Facebook
access and act as a contact person for new members and be able to direct them to member resources.
Kitty Garden believed this staff member would be in the HR department. General discussion as to
requirements of the potion.
Addendum to the agenda:
First Item:
April Gendill asked Dane Frandsen if directors can deduct mileage for tax purposes. Dane said they
will look into that. Dane said that mileage reimbursement is possible, but when it can be used is
complex.Second Item:
Sami Barghout brought up the idea of adding an extra 20 minutes at end of monthly membership
meetings to have allow more socializing and dialogue with and between members. Starting earlier or
going later are both discussed. Kitty Garden proposed to poll the members April Gendill will talk to
Ward 6 about availability of the Ward 6 office during those time. Discussion follows about the monthly
membership meetings in general.
