Reports:
First Item:
Kitty Garden reported on the status of the Battlemaids calendar. They showed some completed photos to the Board. At least 14 calendars have been pre-ordered so far, and the goal is still 50. They requested that Directors post the ads Kitty had created on social media, if they are able. There was discussion on reaching out to local business to see if they will sell calendars, and this will be looked into.
Old Business:
First Item:
April Gendill uploaded the most recent final revised liability waiver for the Board to quickly review. Legal aspects of the waiver were discussed, both in general and particular. There was discussion of how to inform the membership of the waiver, and when to implement. The Board votes that general member testing for the waiver is to be started at the December 7, 2025 general meeting, and implemented in January 2026. The waiver that was posted is voted approved by the Board.
Third Item:
Roger Snyder moved to take this off the agenda because of time issues, and bring it to the next meeting. Board voted yes by acclamation.
New Business:
First Item:
April Gendill is trying to get a free apple developer account, for use with the liability waiver. If Apple does not approve the free app, it would cost $100 per year. It allows the waiver app to be installed on Apple devices without developer mode, and access to icloud to facilitate data transfer. There was discussion and clarification on the technical aspects of the waiver app. April Gendill informed the Board that any data moving to icloud will be temporary and will be done with Enhanced Security mode, and TPP would still preference it’s own hardware. The Board votes to allocate $100 in case the free developer account is not approved by Apple.
Second Item:
April Gendill brought a staff members idea of TPP selling ammunition to it’s members, to both raise money and provide the members with discounted ammo. Sami Barghout, from their experience as a licensed firearms dealer, presented several issues with the idea. Licenses would be required, the profit margin for ammo is so low that even if we did not offer our members a discount, TPP could likely lose money, transportation is difficult and shipping is very expensive. The additional need for business licenses and such are brought up. Board voted against pursuing this idea.
Third Item:
Roger Snyder presented their current draft of the bylaws concerning the Board role, Director roles, and some Officer roles. There was general agreement on the proposed Board role. There was discussion and disagreements about the proposed President role, regarding the role’s ability to perform certain actions, including day-to-day operations of TPP, without prior Board approval, and what are both appropriate and inappropriate duties of the President, and of the necessity for the President to make certain decisions for the good operation of TPP without undue delay. Sami Barghout made a suggestion as to clarifying language that was posted in the Board Discord for Board to look at and Roger to incorporate into the next draft for further discussion. The proposed Director roles of Treasurer and Secretary were discussed, and generally approved. The proposed Officer position Head of Training was also agreed to be satisfactory. The Proposed Head of People (Human Resources) was mostly satisfactory, with the exception the currently existing HR policies be included in the bylaw description as a limit on the Head of People position, and Kitty Garden stated they will provide Roger and the Board with a revision. None of the agreements in this item are voted on and are all currently non-binding.
Agenda Additions:
First Item:
Cayce Kenney stated they have witnessed interpersonal conflict between Board members. They want to encourage good faith discussion and assuming best intent of interlocutors, to maintain the Board in good order.
Next Meeting: 6:00 p.m. December 18, 2025. on Discord.
Adjournment: 2:28 p.m.
