All nominations were accepted with no dissenters. A call for a vote was brought forward.  100% of attendees approved the nominations. This  motion represents the Cheboygan Long Lake Association (CLLAA) formal/official approval to add Joe Steinman as the replacement to Barb Hall as Treasurer and approve changing all signature cards, forms for banking savings and checking accounts, CD’s, use of nonprofit tax ID’s, and financial matters as they pertain to the CLLAA. The by-laws of the organization state in Section 4: “All accounts and certificates of deposit shall contain at least two officer’s signatures.” Going forward from this meeting date the President, Vice-President, and Treasurer names will be added to all financial forms signature cards with the respective names (Jeff Sherman, David Brodstein, and Joe Steinman) and therefore make them available to sign documents. This action will also remove any previous officers from the banking records.
