Reni,
If it is the full Bod doing it by vote - that's fine. If it is an individual BoD member doing it one on one that should be fine too.
Rob, you said, "if it is an individual BoD member doing it one on one that should be fine too."
HPP's bylaws don't allow any board member doing any business without the process of prior approval by the full board at a board meeting. Board votes on item under new business to begin action and/or research. Then brought back at a board meeting under old business for further discussion and final decision by full board vote. All recorded in the HPP Board Minutes.
We had a huge conflict of interest with a previous employee truck hauling for HPP for quite awhile as Morgan stated. Morgan's situation was very insignificant in contrast but nonetheless a conflict of interest. This was that board and management's fault.
The trucking issue is in the HPP Minutes on our website, sort of. The issue is "tabled" under old business after the board member doing the research resigns. The following month it disappears off the agenda without explanation by the Board Secretary or anyone. The conflict of interest continued. Approximately a year and a half passes, and under a new President, the issue is brought up again and stopped approximately July 2013.
Reni and many of us remember this and don't want a chance of this ever occurring again. I believe that is Reni's ultimate goal here and I fully support it. Hopefully Morgan understands.
