Shire of Hunter’s Home Meeting Minutes

Exchequer Re-Election
With the Shire of Stormsport merging into the Shire of Hunter’s home, a reelection of the exchequer was held. Both existing exchequers were nominated for the office. Rory Buhler declined the nomination. Char Smith accepted the nomination. It was asked three times for additional nominations. With no other nominations and without contest, Char Smith was elected to the position of exchequer by process of acclimation.
Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes
A motion was made to purchase the material to create four Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes at an estimated cost of $100 per box.
Aerostar 20x20x1 MERV 13 Furnace Air Filter, 4 Pack
Lasko 20″ 3-Speed Box Fan, Model B20308,
It is known that Æthelmearc has been granted a variance by the Society Seneschal in where as of December 1, 2022 through March 1, 2023, masks will *still* be required inside at all events, practices, gatherings, meetings, etc., during that time, if the CDC County Transmission map shows that Covid Transmission is either High or Substantial.
It is the Shire’s hope that the creation and operation of Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes will replace the mask mandate for Shire operations. It is understood that these boxes have not been approved at the Kingdom level yet and specifications for Cubic Feet/Box ratios have not been established. However, the presence and operation of the boxes will be helpful anyway.
The motion was made, seconded and approved to reimburse for materials up to $400.
