Subject: Table tithe of tithe vote until after organization's legal form is decided
Results Summary: 4:1 in favor of tabling. Motion passes.
Who voted:
Susan Carter, Sterling Allan, Lloyd Davis, Joe Eldred, Laura Shortridge
INTRODUCTION:
For:
In summary, (to paraphrase) Susan made a motion (seconded by Joe) to table the tithe of a tithe
discussion until after the legal form of RSICC is decided, to avoid possible legal problems with
funds and bank accounts, as well as to avoid the possibility of lawsuits because our articles of
organization and declaration of purpose are still yet in the development phase.

I then made a motion (seconded by Joe) to amend Susan's motion so that it says the VOTE (not
discussion) would be tabled until that time, so discussion could continue in the interim if anyone
desired.

Against:
I am opposed to this motion being passed because it could be a long time before we agree on a legal
form for RSICC, and we already have a bank account we can use for the receiving of contributions, so
really there is not a reason to postpone the question of the tithe of a tithe, for people have a
legal right to contribute to whatever cause they wish, only they may not claim this contribution as
being tax free. As for the possibility of lawsuits, things like that are always a threat to any
organization from friends turned enemy. I choose not to fear it, but to move ahead, doing what we
need to do.
