XI       New Business – Libby presented a topic for discussion:  Would the District be willing to reimburse GSRs the cost of gas to attend the District Meeting since gas has become so expensive.  Several viewpoints were presented: primarily should it be amount per mile versus a set amount.  Both ideas were discussed. After consideration of all opinions, the following motion was presented:

District One wishes to contribute to travel expenses incurred by GSRs or District One officers when attending a business meeting in Boulder City.  In order to be reimbursed for gas expense, a GSR or District Officer must first request funds from their homegroup.  If the group is unable to contribute to those expenses or if the amount is less than needed for the travel to the business meeting, District One will reimburse the GSR or District One Officer the amount needed for gas or the difference between the homegroup’s contribution and the amount needed.  The reimbursement will be at $.50 per mile as long as funds are available.  This motion will be reviewed in three months.

Marty presented for discussion the idea of finding a new place to meet that is more centrally located in the district.  Libby asked that he bring some possible location sites to the next meeting.
