The Board of Trustees is scheduling a special Public Hearing for 8:00 P.M., New Year’s Day, at the Learning Center, for the purpose of discussing a proposal of the Board. The Board of Trustees unanimously agrees that it is in the best interests of The Stelle Group that we acknowledge that Richard does have responsibility from the Brotherhoods for the accomplishment of The Stelle Group’s purpose and that the members agree to give Richard the corresponding authority to set the direction and to follow that direction unless there is a referendum decision rescinding this authority or a referendum decision disagreeing on a specific issue. The Board of Trustees would like to see if the community shares this view. In order to determine the community’s views, we are scheduling the above announced Public Hearing to discuss the proposal. Richard’s Open House is the next night and he will be available for any questions or concerns that persons may wish to pursue directly with him. The Community Meeting on January 8 will be available to pursue this further if needed, The following week the Board will submit the above proposal for a secret opinion pole. If 75% of the total community agrees that this is a desirable direction to pursue, then the Board will develop a specific proposal for Public Hearing and referendum ballot that would deal with the specifics on how to implement this direction. In addition, we have attached Richard’s response to the question that many have asked him as to how he feels about all of this. Malcolm Carnahan For The Board of Trustees December 18, 1981
